as Derek Jeter said there may be people
who have more talent than you but
there’s no excuse for anyone to work
harder than you do at the end of the day
whether you believe in talent or not is
completely irrelevant
everyone should believe in hard work
everything in your life is literally a
result of that you’re born in infinite
lump of flesh that can’t even hold its
own head up and yet somehow by
practicing by learning by growing you’re
able to get better you’re literally
incapable of anything when you’re born
every skill that you have in your life
all the things that you take for granted
at one point you couldn’t do them so
understanding that humans truly are an
adaptation machine and that they are
capable of acquiring any skill that they
want but it requires hard work it
requires that you do the reps it
requires that you put in the effort and
at the end of the day the people that
you’re going to surpass are not going to
be the people to have less talent than
you maybe they even have more talent
than you it’s going to be the people
that you’re willing to work but until
you’re willing to outwork them you’re
always going to be stuck this John
Irving said to do anything really well
you have to overextend yourself and
that’s the key if you want to put in an
extraordinary performance if you want to
absolutely dazzle people then you have
to do something amazing you have to be
willing to put yourself out there you
have to be willing to do things that
other people think are going to break
you that other people simply believe
there’s no way that you could be able to
pull that off
the human animal just is not capable of
the lengths to which you are professing
to go and when you profess it you have
to be willing to back it up and you have
to put yourself on that Mars knowing in
no uncertain terms under no
circumstances and for no reason
whatsoever would you ever be willing to
back down
and when you go in with that level of
certainty then and only then are you
actually going to be able to pull this
off
and there’s Billie Jean King fed
champions keep playing until they get it
right
fatigue will literally chip away at your
will to win it is the thing inside of
your mind that weak voice that tells you
that you’re not going to be able to make
it the weak voice that begs you to stop
and the weak voice that promises safety
and security if you would just quit and
here’s the worst part about that it’s
right if you quit right now if you stop
just sit down relax you’re not at risk
anymore you’re not a risk of
embarrassment you’re not at risk of
failure but you’re also not at risk of
greatness if you really want to achieve
something you’ve got to find ways to put
yourself at risk of something great
happening you’ve got to put yourself at
risk of overextending yourself you’ve
got to be willing to face that you may
die but you may actually fall and here’s
the thing for the people that dismissed
that that say they would never put
themselves in that situation then you
have limits and make no mistake those
limits are self placed and for the
people that are willing to push that for
people that are willing to go beyond
that for people who understand there are
things in this world that they’re
prepared to die for and it is the thing
that they put at the center of their
life it is the thing that they are
living for but they’re not going to stop
and they understand that we’re the human
mind thinks it will break is far short
of where it will actually break but
before you can find that point you’ve
got to be willing to push yourself
you’ve got to be willing to go harder
and farther than anybody thinks is
reasonable or sensible that’s the path
and so the question is community thought
of all the question is do you believe in
something so much that you would put
yourself at risk like that the question
is
can you face down everyone including the
weak voice inside of your own mind to
make the world come true that you want
to see come true because at the end of
the day nobody’s going to look for you
so if you’re a champion keep going until
it’s done
you all knew extension
you need to look at yourself in the
mirror and say why are you only giving
50% what’s wrong with you you need to
put yourself on punishment you need to
tell you no more TV no more snacks no
more dessert no one no we working out
now
no no more alcohol not like not not no I
can’t handle it right now you need to
tell you that you owe yourself you’ve
never looked at yourself in the mirror
and said you let you down until you get
to that point you let you die
you’ve never you’re not brave enough you
want to put it on somebody else the
reason why I’m not successful it goes
with my book have you ever looked at
yourself in the mirror and said I’m not
getting up on time
I’m not going to work on time I’m not
putting in 120% when I’m at work I let
me down what change I change and I stop
being a victim I stop saying I’ve gotta
wait for good things to happen to me and
I said I’m a bride
I’m going to fight I’m going to work I’m
going to press forward I’m going to
learn I’m going to do everything in my
power every single day I’m going to do
everything in my power to become a
Victor not a victim what do you want in
your marriage what do you want with your
son and you’re gonna wonder you want in
your help what do you want financially
like how much money do you want to make
a year what do you want to drive how do
you want to live not just waking up like
an accident what do you want and then
once you find out what you want spend
the rest of your natural life waking up
and going after it there is no excuse
for not living up to the fullest
potential nor excuse I don’t believe in
the word for fascination like I don’t
really believe in that word I told the
young lady in Australia who told me she
was a procrastinator I said look if I
told you to meet me here tomorrow at
5:00 a.m. I’m gonna give you three
million dollars where would you be she
said I’ll be right there at 4:59 ready
to get that three million dollars I said
so there’s no such thing as
procrastination what it is is it’s not
important to you right it’s not it’s not
meaning for you to you it’s not it’s not
something that’s
urghhh
to you and when something is not urgent
you put it off but if it’s not
meaningful to you if it’s not important
to you and you’re not going to make it a
priority so what you have to do is find
out how can you make it meet it how can
you make it purchase books how can how
can you make it stick and when you can
find that out I promise you you’ll get
up early or get here first and you’ll do
whatever it takes to make that goal or
reality so for me no such thing as
procrastination is the such thing as
it’s not a priority to you you know to
be great I could get the fight and I
very much think that my success is a
product of some level of skill but I do
think I win because I outwork people I
really do believe that I do believe that
100% I realized that information
changing situation I’d rather buy a book
in my house if I buy a book I can buy
several homes
you can take all my money off the boat
if I might cook with my hitman move you
take the knowledge out of my head and
take the experience that I have the
problem with most people the problem
with most people is that you’re not
obsessed with improving everyday work
our turn yourself anything else but if
you become more intelligent more
valuable more skilled you can add more
value to other people all you have to
focus on your life is find a way to add
more value than anybody else does and
you’ll never have to worry about
anything be the person that does more
for others and life will just be any one
thing you want out of that really is
what it is I’m here all of my dreams and
aspirations are here and the only thing
in between these two is a bunch of work
so tackling that work is a way of moving
this needle so listen to me there’s
those of you said I want to be a
millionaire I want to be the relative
taught me right but your value system
said you believe in sleeping water you
believe in grindy your value system said
you are a consumer and not a producer
that you’re spending more money than
you’re making why because you’re
conservative you’re reading all the
books and you said everything is looking
thing but so books are not in alignment
with your values if you’re going to go
to the next level your values are going
to change life is like a super temporary
mega fragile thing you only get like a
nugget of time to really pursue the
things you care about we have to
understand what we’re good and bad Act
and you have to let go of your bad
you have to if you naturally bad at
singing like I am you shouldn’t put your
career and your life in a position to
become a professional singer it’s a bad
idea in life you should only ever be
doing one of two things and that is
figuring out what you’re most passionate
about like finding your dreams in mind
and then cue realizing those passions
realizing those dreams when you’re not
clear on what you want like you to get
out whenever you feel like it you don’t
have no tribe don’t have no passion and
so if people ask me when your passion go
from when you’re driving from I know
what I will I’m talking about doing what
you want because we know what you want
that’s what it drives
that’s what is fast and keep yourself
extremely busy as long as you’re doing
something you will find your path if
when you get lazy then repeating from
difference for a your life comes down to
your decisions if you change your
decisions
I think life is substantiated by
whatever impact or whatever contribution
you can make while you’re alive the
finish line is the same for everyone
we’re all ending up in the same place
who while we’re here what what
contributions they made life shrinks the
life expands in direct proportion your
willingness to assume the most dangerous
thing you can do in your career the most
dangerous you can do in life if you want
to affect the world you have to change
yourself works everybody tries to go out
and change the world by changing other
people and other things but the real way
to deal with this budget is in yourself
and sometimes making those really
uncomfortable choices to go up against
everyone in your life that you look up
to and take that risk
when I visit students I also tell them
that the greatest risks they take is not
taking one which by the way of mr.
Martinez taught me that and I use it to
this station anytime I feel that should
I
I feel nervous like I feel right now and
I take the risk and for other students
for other teachers and father educators
here we have to take risk if we’re gonna
take that risk I go back to it’s the
biggest risk that we take not that you
have a short time to live but that we
waste a lot of it everybody has time
stop watching something lost if you want
this if you want bling bling if you want
to buy the Jets if you want to do work
whatever it is you’re bold enough you’re
big enough to dream if you are
intentional and deliberate about it now
there’s some aspects of it that are
going to be organic but if you are
intentional and deliberate if you build
it on Monday if you build it on Tuesday
if you build it on Wednesday
I want you to understand that it’s not
going to happen by look productivity is
always intentional and deliberate and
only Tuesday went Monday Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday Friday that nope no
no luck guys
every single day and you do a little
you’re gonna wake up one day and your
dreams are gonna be a reality you can’t
just say you want it you can’t watch the
video and say I want it as bad as I want
to breathe it’s cute to say it but when
it’s show time when the Sun comes up
when the Sun comes up is that all of us
you’ve got all the tapes you’ve got all
the access now it’s time to hunt and
what separates you from everybody else
is that when it’s time to hunt your
radar
everybody’s got lions on a profile
everybody talks positive about
themselves everybody’s talked like your
beads you dress like you will be you’ve
got the car it’s not to be but then when
it’s time to do with bees do you back up
you got to get up and make your hat I
can I will
I’m not how do you get to that next
level how do I get my business to the
next place how do I get other people to
the next place look if you want to get
rich you want to be really successful
when I say rich I’m not talking about
money I’m talking about a rich life
freedom time with family choices get
do what you want look if you want to be
in business for yourself and free you
must learn to dominate you cannot
compete do what are you doing man what
are you doing you know what most people
are going to spend more time in their
life working than any other single thing
and not being successful you’ve got to
be totally committed everybody agree you
got to be completely uncertain you want
a million dollars you want two million
dollars you want five million dollars
how much money do you want how much
success do you want how much notoriety
do you want you want a New York Times
best seller why can’t you have
everything open I’m 65 so what man
Colonel Colonel Harland Sanders made all
his money after you was 65 years old he
wasted the first 64 years if you’re not
sure of your own value your own goals
and what you want the world will never
reward you of what you want your value
and your goals do you need to pressure
yourself you need to cook yourself you
need a necessity level way up here when
I wake up in the morning I write my
goals down when I go to bed at night I
write my goals down so the first thing
and the last thing I do every day I’ve
been doing that for 25 years here are
four steps you must take to create the
next level of success in your life
number one you must get attention you
got to get attention if you’ve got to
scream to get it get it what do these
people have in common
okay there’s Michael Jordan Warren
Buffett Steve Jobs Oprah a Navy SEAL and
my mother you know what they had in
common this greatness has in common
immersing they’re immersed they’re
immersed completely in their environment
number two they’re dedicated completely
dedicated three they have a total total
commitment
immerse yourself okay you have to
immerse yourself right now with reading
the right reading audio program video
find YouTube channels that are good for
you immerse yourself with books audio
video daily okay you hit all three of
those around reading something listening
to something and watching something
these are completely different ways to
learn anybody can do this folks anybody
can do this this is not about a college
degree this is about massive amounts of
action to get attention for yourself
your brand your company your products
your ideas your dream life is really
really short and I think that we don’t
value and appreciate you know our
freedoms and our opportunities in our
life the universe is yours alright and
you need to understand that success does
not require you to look out the window
it only requires that you look in the
mirror to be successful you don’t have
to look out the window and oh where is
my health where are the people that I
need all you guys do is stop look
directly in the mirror and the one
person you need to blow up the one
person you need to be successful is
looking right back at you and if you’re
willing to make a commitment to that
person in the mirror if you’re willing
to look at that person in the mirror say
I’ll make a commitment to you from this
day forward that whatever it takes I’ll
do whatever it takes whatever it is you
want to accomplish or whatever it is you
want to do you literally have to see it
first I’m so funny we want people to
make guarantees to us but we’re not
willing to make guarantees to ourselves
give never you’re not brave enough you
want to put it on somebody else
the reason why I’m not successful it
goes to my bunk have you ever looked at
yourself in the mirror and said I’m not
getting up on time I’m not going to work
on time I’m not putting in 120% when I’m
at work you can never look at yourself
in the mirror and say you let you go
until you get to that point you let you
die you always want to blame other
people
you always want on you want to
other people to the fire but you’re not
holding yourself to the fire you just
say you give it a percent you owe you an
explanation you owe you an explanation
you need to look at yourself in the
mirror and say why are you only giving
50% what’s wrong with you you need to
put yourself on punishment and I stop
being a victim
nothing I’ve gotta wait for good things
to happen to me and I said I’m gonna cry
I’m going to fight I’m going to work I’m
going to press forward I’m going to
learn I’m going to do everything in my
power every single day I’m going to do
everything in my power to become a
Victor another victim winners win and
losers lose I can’t explain it any
better than that I don’t know how it
happens but winners win and if you
create a culture of losing if you keep
being a victim if you keep letting
losing happen to you if you keep letting
people use you and treat you any kind of
way it’s going to become a culture I
have standards
I have value it’s easy to go through
life holding on to things better way in
a standard guilt resentment doubt worry
the problem is when we allow these
things in they’re taking up space for
the good things that should be there
imagine your life is like a container
you are created to be filled with joy
peace confidence creativity but if you
allow worry in it pushes out the peace
there’s not space for both you can’t go
above a hundred percent you have a
limited amount of room if you allow
guilt to take up space that space that
you don’t have for the confidence you
need some people don’t enjoy their lives
is because their container their heart
is contaminated with so many things
they have 10% worried stressed out over
their job
12% bitterness mad at their neighbor 20%
guilt beating themselves up for past
mistakes
9% jealousy their co-worker is more
beautiful they don’t realize 70% of
their container is negative how much
space are you given to guilt to shame to
regret to being against yourself
whatever it is it’s too much give no
place to guilt give no place to work
give no place to bitterness it can’t
come in and automatically take over you
control what’s in your container you
control what you think about what you
choose to allow in we all have negative
emotions negative feelings you have to
make the choice I’m not going to give
this jealousy this bitterness this anger
valuable space and let it poison my life
I’m going to protect what I allow in me
every morning when we wake up we need to
empty out anything negative from the day
before
you have to be disciplined say now I am
NOT giving this offense any room I am
NOT going to let it sour my day or you
wake up in the morning and thoughts of
worry color how are you going to pay
your bills what if the medical reports
not good you’ll never get out of this
problem don’t allow that in take
inventory of what you’re giving space –
life is too short to go through it with
negative things holding us down worry
will make you weak living stressed out
will make you old give you wrinkles take
your passion being bitter angry
resentful will shorten your life get in
a habit of emptying out the offenses
empty out the worry you make a mistake
empty out the guilt you didn’t do your
best empty out the regret do better next
time
[Music]
he’ll remind you of every mistake you’ve
made for the last 30 years it’s easy to
live life in regrets thinking about what
you should have done differently and I
should have raised my children better
should have been more faithful in my
marriage I should have finished college
don’t go through life looking in the
rearview mirror down on yourself living
in regrets you can’t do anything about
the past but you can do something about
right now being against yourself doesn’t
help you do better it pushes you down
why don’t you forgive yourself
why don’t you empty out the guilt why
don’t you turn off the accusing voices
[Music]
when you fall down don’t stay down get
back up again when the accuser whispers
look at you you blew it again you’ll
never get it right
just answer back yes I know I’m not
perfect but I am forgiven I may not be
where I should be but I’m making
progress I’m moving forward I’m not
where I used to be
don’t let guilt poison your future empty
it out
somewhere deep inside you know what kind
of person you were designed to be if you
want to produce great acorns
think like an oak not like an acorn
think like the person you intend to
become like the Christian question what
would Jesus do ask yourself how would
the person I’d like to be the Acorn has
three parts it’s got a stem a cap and a
seed and the stem represents its
connection to the past all the acorns
all the Oaks that have ever existed in
its line before are encoded in that
transfer through that stem but legacy
into this acorn the cap holds onto the
seed until the seeds ready to grow on
its own so the cap represents your
coaches your mentors your your role
models your guide your parents your
friends your teachers what kind of seed
is in you I believe part of our
responsibility in life is to find out
who we are to discover ourselves first
off we need to respect our nature we
need to realize we are part of a
continuing chain that carries a legacy
and a responsibility there are many
things we can do with our lives and I
think it’s our job to find out what
those things are and to do them as well
as we possibly can so that we’re passing
along the right imprint for the next
generation
so first we need to respect our nature
second we need to know our nature take
care of saddles advise know thyself but
know things about yourself that most
people don’t discover for example know
how you’re smart not just how smart you
are in comparison to others in what ways
are you smart know what you care about
or what are the values that motivate
your choices if you will spend one extra
hour each day studying your chosen field
you’ll be a national expert in that
field in five years or less
so nurture your nature figure out first
off I am value except that I want to
know who I am and I want to know how I
operate and how can I understand me
better and then I want to nurture that
nature I want to apply myself in the
world and put myself to work in such
ways that the rest of the world says
well that’s cool so ask yourself every
day how would the person I’d like to
do the things I’m about to do the truth
is very concise the words are very few
but people don’t want to hear the truth
or the truth hurts but you grow from
pain you really you really do you can’t
know how to deal with success you cannot
deal with failures you can’t know how to
deal with the bumps in the road that if
you haven’t had a taste of everything we
all have next level ability there’s not
other people that aren’t holding you
back you bosses and holding you back
your parents are holding you back those
are excuses to me there’s no such thing
as luck
okay all luck is preparation meeting
opportunity plain and simple you have to
be ready prepared for that situation if
you’re an employee of this company and
the boss puts you into a pressure
situation that’s a privilege he believes
in you you better deliver so if you
don’t that situation goes to somebody
else and you may never get that
opportunity again everything matters if
you take any situation and just take the
work only and take the work just out of
it it changes the whole phrase
it’s just a game it’s a game
it’s only a job the body has limitations
the mind does not we focus so much on
what goes on from the neck down that we
forget it all starts from here
everything starts from there if you’re
not mentally ready you’re never really
physically prepared and that’s where the
preparation starts I firmly believe that
everybody in this room everybody on this
planet has a gift it’s your job to
figure out what that gift is then it
becomes your job to decide whether
you’re going to act on that or not
everyone sees the work that you put in
but it’s what you don’t see it’s going
to determine how far you’ll again I hear
stuff all the time you say oh look in
the mirror and you’ll see why you’re not
succeeding I don’t believe that okay
it’s what you don’t see in the mirror
that’s what’s holding you back it’s what
you’re not willing to see is why talent
is not enough
when you when you finally see it and
accept it and decide to work on it then
you can take that next level a lot of
people are ain’t honest with itself
about what they really want you want to
make more money than you’ve ever made
you want to travel the world I don’t
know I don’t know you want to build your
second home I’m not sure what you want
but I need you to understand that you
got to give stuff you can’t stay where
you are and go where you’re trying to go
do not let any job that you do kill your
dream because the only thing that could
make you feel alive is your dream
honestly believe that if people are not
calling you crazy your dream isn’t big
enough no matter how many people told me
no no matter how many people lied to me
focus on one thing make it your priority
and stick with it no matter what
whatever your dream is whatever your
goal is you’re not going to be able to
make it happen if you don’t have a dream
party every day like you’ve got to have
a dream session you’ve got to take out
10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes haven’t
much time you have and you’ve got to
actually go in a room close the door and
you’ve got to see yourself doing it
you’ve got to feel yourself doing it
you’ve got to actually walk in it you’ve
got to go in the future live it out come
back in the present and start working
towards
[Music]
who have more talent than you but
there’s no excuse for anyone to work
harder than you do at the end of the day
whether you believe in talent or not is
completely irrelevant
everyone should believe in hard work
everything in your life is literally a
result of that you’re born in infinite

all the things that you take for granted

understanding that humans truly are an
adaptation machine and that they are
capable of acquiring any skill that they
want but it requires hard work it
requires that you do the reps it
requires that you put in the effort and
at the end of the day the people that
you’re going to surpass are not going to
be the people to have less talent than
you maybe they even have more talent
than you it’s going to be the people
that you’re willing to work but until
you’re willing to outwork them you’re
always going to be stuck this John

the human animal just is not capable of

to be willing to back it up and you have
to put yourself on that Mars knowing in
no uncertain terms under no
circumstances and for no reason
whatsoever would you ever be willing to
back down
and when you go in with that level of
certainty then and only then are you
actually going to be able to pull this
off
and there’s Billie Jean King fed
champions keep playing until they get it

fatigue will literally chip away at your

here’s the worst part about that it’s
right if you quit right now if you stop
just sit down relax you’re not at risk

failure but you’re also not at risk of
greatness if you really want to achieve
something you’ve got to find ways to put
yourself at risk of something great
happening you’ve got to put yourself at

got to be willing to face that you may
die but you may actually fall and here’s
the thing for the people that dismissed
that that say they would never put
themselves in that situation then you
have limits and make no mistake those
limits are self placed and for the
people that are willing to push that for
people that are willing to go beyond
that for people who understand there are
things in this world that they’re
prepared to die for and it is the thing
that they put at the center of their
life it is the thing that they are
living for but they’re not going to stop
and they understand that we’re the human
mind thinks it will break is far short
of where it will actually break but
before you can find that point you’ve
got to be willing to push yourself
you’ve got to be willing to go harder
and farther than anybody thinks is
reasonable or sensible that’s the path
and so the question is community thought
of all the question is do you believe in
something so much that you would put
yourself at risk like that the question
is
can you face down everyone including the
weak voice inside of your own mind to
make the world come true that you want
to see come true because at the end of
the day nobody’s going to look for you
so if you’re a champion keep going until
it’s done
you all knew extension
you need to look at yourself in the
mirror and say why are you only giving
50% what’s wrong with you you need to
put yourself on punishment you need to
tell you no more TV no more snacks no
more dessert no one no we working out
now
no no more alcohol not like not not no I
can’t handle it right now you need to
tell you that you owe yourself you’ve
never looked at yourself in the mirror
and said you let you down until you get
to that point you let you die
you’ve never you’re not brave enough you
want to put it on somebody else the
reason why I’m not successful it goes
with my book have you ever looked at
yourself in the mirror and said I’m not
getting up on time
I’m not going to work on time I’m not
putting in 120% when I’m at work I let
me down what change I change and I stop
being a victim I stop saying I’ve gotta
wait for good things to happen to me and
I said I’m a bride
I’m going to fight I’m going to work I’m
going to press forward I’m going to
learn I’m going to do everything in my
power every single day I’m going to do
everything in my power to become a
Victor not a victim what do you want in
your marriage what do you want with your
son and you’re gonna wonder you want in
your help what do you want financially
like how much money do you want to make
a year what do you want to drive how do
you want to live not just waking up like
an accident what do you want and then
once you find out what you want spend
the rest of your natural life waking up
and going after it there is no excuse
for not living up to the fullest
potential nor excuse I don’t believe in
the word for fascination like I don’t
really believe in that word I told the
young lady in Australia who told me she
was a procrastinator I said look if I
told you to meet me here tomorrow at
5:00 a.m. I’m gonna give you three
million dollars where would you be she
said I’ll be right there at 4:59 ready
to get that three million dollars I said
so there’s no such thing as
procrastination what it is is it’s not
important to you right it’s not it’s not
meaning for you to you it’s not it’s not
something that’s
urghhh
to you and when something is not urgent
you put it off but if it’s not
meaningful to you if it’s not important
to you and you’re not going to make it a
priority so what you have to do is find
out how can you make it meet it how can
you make it purchase books how can how
can you make it stick and when you can
find that out I promise you you’ll get
up early or get here first and you’ll do
whatever it takes to make that goal or
reality so for me no such thing as
procrastination is the such thing as
it’s not a priority to you you know to
be great I could get the fight and I
very much think that my success is a
product of some level of skill but I do
think I win because I outwork people I
really do believe that I do believe that
100% I realized that information
changing situation I’d rather buy a book
in my house if I buy a book I can buy
several homes
you can take all my money off the boat
if I might cook with my hitman move you
take the knowledge out of my head and
take the experience that I have the
problem with most people the problem
with most people is that you’re not
obsessed with improving everyday work
our turn yourself anything else but if
you become more intelligent more
valuable more skilled you can add more
value to other people all you have to
focus on your life is find a way to add
more value than anybody else does and
you’ll never have to worry about
anything be the person that does more
for others and life will just be any one
thing you want out of that really is
what it is I’m here all of my dreams and
aspirations are here and the only thing
in between these two is a bunch of work
so tackling that work is a way of moving
this needle so listen to me there’s
those of you said I want to be a
millionaire I want to be the relative
taught me right but your value system
said you believe in sleeping water you
believe in grindy your value system said
you are a consumer and not a producer
that you’re spending more money than
you’re making why because you’re
conservative you’re reading all the
books and you said everything is looking
thing but so books are not in alignment
with your values if you’re going to go
to the next level your values are going
to change life is like a super temporary
mega fragile thing you only get like a
nugget of time to really pursue the
things you care about we have to
understand what we’re good and bad Act
and you have to let go of your bad
you have to if you naturally bad at
singing like I am you shouldn’t put your
career and your life in a position to
become a professional singer it’s a bad
idea in life you should only ever be
doing one of two things and that is
figuring out what you’re most passionate
about like finding your dreams in mind
and then cue realizing those passions
realizing those dreams when you’re not
clear on what you want like you to get
out whenever you feel like it you don’t
have no tribe don’t have no passion and
so if people ask me when your passion go
from when you’re driving from I know
what I will I’m talking about doing what
you want because we know what you want
that’s what it drives
that’s what is fast and keep yourself
extremely busy as long as you’re doing
something you will find your path if
when you get lazy then repeating from
difference for a your life comes down to
your decisions if you change your
decisions
I think life is substantiated by
whatever impact or whatever contribution
you can make while you’re alive the
finish line is the same for everyone
we’re all ending up in the same place
who while we’re here what what
contributions they made life shrinks the
life expands in direct proportion your
willingness to assume the most dangerous
thing you can do in your career the most
dangerous you can do in life if you want
to affect the world you have to change
yourself works everybody tries to go out
and change the world by changing other
people and other things but the real way
to deal with this budget is in yourself
and sometimes making those really
uncomfortable choices to go up against
everyone in your life that you look up
to and take that risk
when I visit students I also tell them
that the greatest risks they take is not
taking one which by the way of mr.
Martinez taught me that and I use it to
this station anytime I feel that should
I
I feel nervous like I feel right now and
I take the risk and for other students
for other teachers and father educators
here we have to take risk if we’re gonna
take that risk I go back to it’s the
biggest risk that we take not that you
have a short time to live but that we
waste a lot of it everybody has time
stop watching something lost if you want
this if you want bling bling if you want
to buy the Jets if you want to do work
whatever it is you’re bold enough you’re
big enough to dream if you are
intentional and deliberate about it now
there’s some aspects of it that are
going to be organic but if you are
intentional and deliberate if you build
it on Monday if you build it on Tuesday
if you build it on Wednesday
I want you to understand that it’s not
going to happen by look productivity is
always intentional and deliberate and
only Tuesday went Monday Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday Friday that nope no
no luck guys
every single day and you do a little
you’re gonna wake up one day and your
dreams are gonna be a reality you can’t
just say you want it you can’t watch the
video and say I want it as bad as I want
to breathe it’s cute to say it but when
it’s show time when the Sun comes up
when the Sun comes up is that all of us
you’ve got all the tapes you’ve got all
the access now it’s time to hunt and
what separates you from everybody else
is that when it’s time to hunt your
radar
everybody’s got lions on a profile
everybody talks positive about
themselves everybody’s talked like your
beads you dress like you will be you’ve
got the car it’s not to be but then when
it’s time to do with bees do you back up
you got to get up and make your hat I
can I will
I’m not how do you get to that next
level how do I get my business to the
next place how do I get other people to
the next place look if you want to get
rich you want to be really successful
when I say rich I’m not talking about
money I’m talking about a rich life
freedom time with family choices get
do what you want look if you want to be
in business for yourself and free you
must learn to dominate you cannot
compete do what are you doing man what
are you doing you know what most people
are going to spend more time in their
life working than any other single thing
and not being successful you’ve got to
be totally committed everybody agree you
got to be completely uncertain you want
a million dollars you want two million
dollars you want five million dollars
how much money do you want how much
success do you want how much notoriety
do you want you want a New York Times
best seller why can’t you have
everything open I’m 65 so what man
Colonel Colonel Harland Sanders made all
his money after you was 65 years old he
wasted the first 64 years if you’re not
sure of your own value your own goals
and what you want the world will never
reward you of what you want your value
and your goals do you need to pressure
yourself you need to cook yourself you
need a necessity level way up here when
I wake up in the morning I write my
goals down when I go to bed at night I
write my goals down so the first thing
and the last thing I do every day I’ve
been doing that for 25 years here are
four steps you must take to create the
next level of success in your life
number one you must get attention you
got to get attention if you’ve got to
scream to get it get it what do these
people have in common
okay there’s Michael Jordan Warren
Buffett Steve Jobs Oprah a Navy SEAL and
my mother you know what they had in
common this greatness has in common
immersing they’re immersed they’re
immersed completely in their environment
number two they’re dedicated completely
dedicated three they have a total total
commitment
immerse yourself okay you have to
immerse yourself right now with reading
the right reading audio program video
find YouTube channels that are good for
you immerse yourself with books audio
video daily okay you hit all three of
those around reading something listening
to something and watching something
these are completely different ways to
learn anybody can do this folks anybody
can do this this is not about a college
degree this is about massive amounts of
action to get attention for yourself
your brand your company your products
your ideas your dream life is really
really short and I think that we don’t
value and appreciate you know our
freedoms and our opportunities in our
life the universe is yours alright and
you need to understand that success does
not require you to look out the window
it only requires that you look in the
mirror to be successful you don’t have
to look out the window and oh where is
my health where are the people that I
need all you guys do is stop look
directly in the mirror and the one
person you need to blow up the one
person you need to be successful is
looking right back at you and if you’re
willing to make a commitment to that
person in the mirror if you’re willing
to look at that person in the mirror say
I’ll make a commitment to you from this
day forward that whatever it takes I’ll
do whatever it takes whatever it is you
want to accomplish or whatever it is you
want to do you literally have to see it
first I’m so funny we want people to
make guarantees to us but we’re not
willing to make guarantees to ourselves
give never you’re not brave enough you
want to put it on somebody else
the reason why I’m not successful it
goes to my bunk have you ever looked at
yourself in the mirror and said I’m not
getting up on time I’m not going to work
on time I’m not putting in 120% when I’m
at work you can never look at yourself
in the mirror and say you let you go
until you get to that point you let you
die you always want to blame other
people
you always want on you want to
other people to the fire but you’re not
holding yourself to the fire you just
say you give it a percent you owe you an
explanation you owe you an explanation
you need to look at yourself in the
mirror and say why are you only giving
50% what’s wrong with you you need to
put yourself on punishment and I stop
being a victim
nothing I’ve gotta wait for good things
to happen to me and I said I’m gonna cry
I’m going to fight I’m going to work I’m
going to press forward I’m going to
learn I’m going to do everything in my
power every single day I’m going to do
everything in my power to become a
Victor another victim winners win and
losers lose I can’t explain it any
better than that I don’t know how it
happens but winners win and if you
create a culture of losing if you keep
being a victim if you keep letting
losing happen to you if you keep letting
people use you and treat you any kind of
way it’s going to become a culture I
have standards
I have value it’s easy to go through
life holding on to things better way in
a standard guilt resentment doubt worry
the problem is when we allow these
things in they’re taking up space for
the good things that should be there
imagine your life is like a container
you are created to be filled with joy
peace confidence creativity but if you
allow worry in it pushes out the peace
there’s not space for both you can’t go
above a hundred percent you have a
limited amount of room if you allow
guilt to take up space that space that
you don’t have for the confidence you
need some people don’t enjoy their lives
is because their container their heart
is contaminated with so many things
they have 10% worried stressed out over
their job
12% bitterness mad at their neighbor 20%
guilt beating themselves up for past
mistakes
9% jealousy their co-worker is more
beautiful they don’t realize 70% of
their container is negative how much
space are you given to guilt to shame to
regret to being against yourself
whatever it is it’s too much give no
place to guilt give no place to work
give no place to bitterness it can’t
come in and automatically take over you
control what’s in your container you
control what you think about what you
choose to allow in we all have negative
emotions negative feelings you have to
make the choice I’m not going to give
this jealousy this bitterness this anger
valuable space and let it poison my life
I’m going to protect what I allow in me
every morning when we wake up we need to
empty out anything negative from the day
before
you have to be disciplined say now I am
NOT giving this offense any room I am
NOT going to let it sour my day or you
wake up in the morning and thoughts of
worry color how are you going to pay
your bills what if the medical reports
not good you’ll never get out of this
problem don’t allow that in take
inventory of what you’re giving space –
life is too short to go through it with
negative things holding us down worry
will make you weak living stressed out
will make you old give you wrinkles take
your passion being bitter angry
resentful will shorten your life get in
a habit of emptying out the offenses
empty out the worry you make a mistake
empty out the guilt you didn’t do your
best empty out the regret do better next
time
[Music]
he’ll remind you of every mistake you’ve
made for the last 30 years it’s easy to
live life in regrets thinking about what
you should have done differently and I
should have raised my children better
should have been more faithful in my
marriage I should have finished college
don’t go through life looking in the
rearview mirror down on yourself living
in regrets you can’t do anything about
the past but you can do something about
right now being against yourself doesn’t
help you do better it pushes you down
why don’t you forgive yourself
why don’t you empty out the guilt why
don’t you turn off the accusing voices
[Music]
when you fall down don’t stay down get
back up again when the accuser whispers
look at you you blew it again you’ll
never get it right
just answer back yes I know I’m not
perfect but I am forgiven I may not be
where I should be but I’m making
progress I’m moving forward I’m not
where I used to be
don’t let guilt poison your future empty
it out
somewhere deep inside you know what kind
of person you were designed to be if you
want to produce great acorns
think like an oak not like an acorn
think like the person you intend to
become like the Christian question what
would Jesus do ask yourself how would
the person I’d like to be the Acorn has
three parts it’s got a stem a cap and a
seed and the stem represents its
connection to the past all the acorns
all the Oaks that have ever existed in
its line before are encoded in that
transfer through that stem but legacy
into this acorn the cap holds onto the
seed until the seeds ready to grow on
its own so the cap represents your
coaches your mentors your your role
models your guide your parents your
friends your teachers what kind of seed
is in you I believe part of our
responsibility in life is to find out
who we are to discover ourselves first
off we need to respect our nature we
need to realize we are part of a
continuing chain that carries a legacy
and a responsibility there are many
things we can do with our lives and I
think it’s our job to find out what
those things are and to do them as well
as we possibly can so that we’re passing
along the right imprint for the next
generation
so first we need to respect our nature
second we need to know our nature take
care of saddles advise know thyself but
know things about yourself that most
people don’t discover for example know
how you’re smart not just how smart you
are in comparison to others in what ways
are you smart know what you care about
or what are the values that motivate
your choices if you will spend one extra
hour each day studying your chosen field
you’ll be a national expert in that
field in five years or less
so nurture your nature figure out first
off I am value except that I want to
know who I am and I want to know how I
operate and how can I understand me
better and then I want to nurture that
nature I want to apply myself in the
world and put myself to work in such
ways that the rest of the world says
well that’s cool so ask yourself every
day how would the person I’d like to
do the things I’m about to do the truth
is very concise the words are very few
but people don’t want to hear the truth
or the truth hurts but you grow from
pain you really you really do you can’t
know how to deal with success you cannot
deal with failures you can’t know how to
deal with the bumps in the road that if
you haven’t had a taste of everything we
all have next level ability there’s not
other people that aren’t holding you
back you bosses and holding you back
your parents are holding you back those
are excuses to me there’s no such thing
as luck
okay all luck is preparation meeting
opportunity plain and simple you have to
be ready prepared for that situation if
you’re an employee of this company and
the boss puts you into a pressure
situation that’s a privilege he believes
in you you better deliver so if you
don’t that situation goes to somebody
else and you may never get that
opportunity again everything matters if
you take any situation and just take the
work only and take the work just out of
it it changes the whole phrase
it’s just a game it’s a game
it’s only a job the body has limitations
the mind does not we focus so much on
what goes on from the neck down that we
forget it all starts from here
everything starts from there if you’re
not mentally ready you’re never really
physically prepared and that’s where the
preparation starts I firmly believe that
everybody in this room everybody on this
planet has a gift it’s your job to
figure out what that gift is then it
becomes your job to decide whether
you’re going to act on that or not
everyone sees the work that you put in
but it’s what you don’t see it’s going
to determine how far you’ll again I hear
stuff all the time you say oh look in
the mirror and you’ll see why you’re not
succeeding I don’t believe that okay
it’s what you don’t see in the mirror
that’s what’s holding you back it’s what
you’re not willing to see is why talent
is not enough
when you when you finally see it and
accept it and decide to work on it then
you can take that next level a lot of
people are ain’t honest with itself
about what they really want you want to
make more money than you’ve ever made
you want to travel the world I don’t
know I don’t know you want to build your
second home I’m not sure what you want
but I need you to understand that you
got to give stuff you can’t stay where
you are and go where you’re trying to go
do not let any job that you do kill your
dream because the only thing that could
make you feel alive is your dream
honestly believe that if people are not
calling you crazy your dream isn’t big
enough no matter how many people told me
no no matter how many people lied to me
focus on one thing make it your priority
and stick with it no matter what
whatever your dream is whatever your
goal is you’re not going to be able to
make it happen if you don’t have a dream
party every day like you’ve got to have
a dream session you’ve got to take out
10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes haven’t
much time you have and you’ve got to
actually go in a room close the door and
you’ve got to see yourself doing it
you’ve got to feel yourself doing it
you’ve got to actually walk in it you’ve
got to go in the future live it out come
back in the present and start working
towards
