way to Australia this is this is what
happens when you add wild thoughts and
that’s what it’s all about tonight like
wild thoughts like wild thoughts like
like I don’t want you to be in school
for grades because I told y’all week we
passed that and that’s why school is so
hard for some of you that’s why I like
it so hard for some of you because

Hannah wild thoughts no more you don’t

the average thinking and look okay I’m

thoughts and they don’t work out you can
always go back to average thought the
whole bunch of people waiting for you

hands I’m telling the truth
you are crazy stupid talented you know
you are but you get stuck on average not
using your full particulars yeah just
some stuff you know you could be doing
this you ain’t doing them it’s the air
you know you could be doing the hands
down let’s do this real quick
Eric Thomas I don’t really know who I am
but you here tonight right so I’m
telling you I’m giving you full
permission to start to have a wildest
dream to be yourself I’m giving you
permission stop waiting on people it’s
the weirdest thing I mean some of the
most talented smartest people in the
world who stuck because they waiting for
I gave you permission I give you
permission to be yourself like I’m
giving me and why why do I have the
authority because I myself I’m in for
Eric Thomas permission I asked no other
motivational speaker was it alright to
go hip-hop I’m just doing what I know
I’ve been calling
unapologetically I wanna make sure I say
that I ain’t even know if I can say it I
just tried to see if I can say it I was
in my head I was like can I say that
word I just said it it came out you
don’t have to apologize to anybody to be
great
you don’t owe it to anybody else to play
little no more come on don’t play little
no more like you don’t want your brother
to feel bad or you don’t want your
cousin to look you have full permission
you don’t want your parents to think you
would know it all you have full
permission to be your greatness right
now you have full permission to be your
greatness whoever you whatever your
greatness is you have full permission to
be that right this second you can either
live in a world that other people have
created for you or you can create a new
world for other people to live in I
think that’s the fundamental difference
that’s what we’re great as as
entrepreneurs that’s what we want to do
we want to make something better right
we see a problem we see the way things
are and we want to change it that’s
what’s so amazing and fantastic about
entrepreneurs because we push the world
forward and so you need to decide these
wild thoughts that you’re having or
these wild thoughts that you’re afraid
of who are the people who are putting
you down around them that big vision
that you have this wild crazy thought
that you want to introduce into the
world who’s the one telling you that
it’s not gonna happen
that’s not possible that you should give
up on it chances are the people who are
telling you those things may not be the
ones who you want to model like look at
what they’re doing in their life and is
that something that you aspire to want
to do and it’s not that they’re wrong
it’s not that they’re terrible human
beings they are just not doing what you
want to do and so anytime you get a
hater any time you get somebody
criticizing you for the big crazy wild
thoughts that you have that’s what I
always default to is the person
criticizing me have they done what I’m
trying to do have they accomplished what
I’m trying to accomplish and if they
haven’t then their advice is meaningless
they’re giving me advice on how to live
like them I don’t want to live like them
and so their advice isn’t helpful to me
right and so if you can reframe it like
that then often the the sting of the
criticism goes away now you don’t have
to get in their face you don’t have to
say well I don’t want to live like you
look
your life it’s terrible it sucks but you
don’t have to be negative to them
towards it but as long as you can remove
the sting from yourself and realize I
want to create a better world I want to
do something different than what’s
currently being done and to do that by
definition it’s a wild crazy thought any
time you want to change the way
something is done you’re gonna have all
the people who believe in the status quo
who love the way that it’s happened
right now all those people are gonna
fight against you and that’s okay I look
at what I’m doing on YouTube it was a
wild and crazy idea at the beginning to
create a channel around positivity if
you looked at all the popular channels
at the time and how still most people
spend their time how do most people
spend their time on the internet right
it’s usually around news or gossip or
laughing at somebody and in funny jokes
and putting other people down and all
the terrible things that are happening
in the world I didn’t like that and I
wanted to create something different I
want to create a channel that inspired
positivity that spread more belief out
into the world and not everybody agrees
with that that’s okay a lot of people
think that it’s stupid a lot of people
think it’s too you know soft stuff you
know this is not helpful it’s not good
content great those people won’t stick
around on my channel and the reason why
I’ll actively remove people from the
comments who are overly negative and
critical and just spreading hate is
because I don’t want them as part of my
community I want to create a positive
welcoming place you can disagree with a
point that I may have that’s awesome but
as soon as you’re in being really
judgmental really negative and
especially hating on other people who
are in the community that’s where I draw
the line I don’t want that and so my
channel could probably be even bigger if
I was showcasing a lot of the negativity
in the world if I made a video on ten
stupid things that Donald Trump says I’m
sure that video would explode and take
off and do really well but that’s not
the world that I want to build and so
I’m doing it in a different way than
most people do it and we’ve had some
success right we’ve crossed a million
subscribers we’ve had hundreds of
millions of people watch the videos and
I’m really proud of that
and I’m doing it in my way it’s a crazy
thought it’s a crazy idea I know it’s
not so crazy now other people are
copying it now other people are doing
the same thing that I’m trying to do and
I love it we’re spreading more
positivity in the world
actually in the field of
entrepreneurship and so understand that
whatever crazy idea you have at the
beginning you need it you have to own it
because if you fast forward to your life
at the end and you’re a hundred years
old looking back are you gonna regret
that you didn’t take action then you had
this crazy idea and you never did
anything about it because of somebody
telling you that it was too crazy and
too big and too wild and too stupid that
it would never work out
you’re either creating a new world for
other people to live in or you’re living
in somebody else’s world has been
created for you you get to decide now I
have a special bonus clip for you but
before getting to that I would love to
know the answer to the question of the
day what is your most recent wild crazy
thought share down the comments below
I’m really excited to see what you have
to say thank you guys so much for
watching I believe in you I hope we
continue to believe in yourself and
whatever your one word is I’ll see you
again tomorrow morning for another shot
of an espresso and enjoy the bonus
[Music]
always go to something bigger than
yourself
I’m wondering if you’ve been defeated
because you have been giving yourself
wholly to something that was too small
to hold you have you thrusts yourself
into a glass of water have you leapt off
the diving board into a cereal bowl
person are you not guilty of immersing
yourself into things that were too small
to hold your vision oh my god they’re so
good I’m gonna get the CD myself
[Applause]
Jesus sent him to throw himself into
something that was bigger than his
condition and he had to go to get to it
he had to get out of his comfort zone
my problem is so many times you’ve
thrown big ideas as small people
you’ve given big commitment to cereal
bowl people and you’re trying to get
your sight back from a source that’s too
small to support what you’re willing to
put in is your investment bigger than
the bank you should see the way you’re
looking at me yes your is the reason you
keep being disappointed by people is
that you have holy throwing yourself
into something that was too small Jesus
sends him to something that is bigger
than himself so he can wash his eyes are
you trying to take a bath in a bowl
it’s important to me to have the balls
to look at the biggest problems we face
as a society and say that’s my problem
to solve right obesity metabolic disease
the slide towards ill health however you
want to categorize it that’s my problem
like I don’t even wake up thinking
that’s my business partners problem
that’s my problem I’m working with my
business partners because of very sharp
guys yeah but at the end of the day like
I own that responsibility and that’s
awesome to me right like having that it
isn’t a weight that drags me down it’s
like this goal to chase that’s so big
that I’m just stoked that there are
people in the world that are prepared to
dream that big like I’m inspired by that
in others and hopefully can inspire
other people with our driver raise your
standard Apple at the core its core
value is that not one drop of my
self-worth depends on Europe that’s
something to me I don’t ever give up I’d
have to be dead or completely
incapacitated hey believe nation if you
