your gift can be anything you can’t look
at it as simply running jumping singing
and dancing failure means you’ve now
learned another valuable lesson that
pushes you one step closer to success
everything you see above ground that
blossoms and plants and grows and that’s
beautiful it was on the ground one time
when people try to figure out how to
make a million dollars they have no idea
how daunting that is because if you know
how to make a million dollars you go
make it tomorrow if I had as many
followers as Kim Kardashian I probably
wouldn’t even have to do this TV show
when you strike out on your goal you’re
going to have to get ready for
flexibility the dream is free the hustle
the soul separate I aim for stuff so big
that the dream is bigger than the fear
and I want you to take a look at this
sign as they pull the cord can you see
this yeah I’m looking at it he’s an
American comedian TV host actor and
author he’s the host of the Steve Harvey
Morning Show Steve Harvey family feud
and little big shots he’s a three-time
Daytime Emmy Award winner he’s Steve
Harvey and here’s my take on his top ten
rules for success your gift can be
anything you can’t look at it as simply
running jumping singing and dancing but
I’ll tell you one thing your gift is the
thing that you do the absolute best with
the least amount of effort for me it was
comedy so once you identified then
that’s that’s the beginning of it but
there’s a lot of work to do even after
you identify your gift you know you can
believe you’re something all you want
but if you don’t work towards it you
just signa it’s gonna be empty value
means you’ve now learned another
valuable lesson that pushes you one step
closer to success it means go in another
direction to go in another direction
failure is not the end all know people
keep getting buried on the front I bet
you that you have failed
more times than anyone in this room
absolutely I promise you you have I’m
willing to bet that I have failed
more times than anyone in this room
because I have attempted so many things
that you have no idea what I’ve
attempted and failed
but I don’t let the failures define it’s
God pointing you in another direction
it’s it’s an and it’s clear about that
and you’ve got to be willing to go with
that being cause that being in the road
is the only way success is not a
straight line it is not it’s it’s
crooked is down in the valley is back up
over a mountain see I’m a seed I really
am I see but a seed has to be planted a
seed got to have dirt put on top of it
if you take a seed and throw it on the
concrete and walk off the Sun just burn
it up but guess what logically in my
mind it doesn’t make sense
that to grow something you should dig a
hole put it down in there and cover it
with dirt logically that don’t make no
sense to me but odo
see dirt is necessary for growth and
development dirt builds character dealt
dealt gives you the push through factor
dirt makes you come with it when you
don’t feel like coming with it no more
and you get dirt in a lot of different
ways all the other had dirt fold on you
and dirt ain’t always what you want it’s
somebody talking about you down on your
job it’s somebody accusing you or
something that you didn’t do if somebody
telling you you ain’t gonna make it if
somebody shared information about you
that ain’t true got everybody get dirt
put on them but see when you getting put
under that stress please know God is
always working Kurt Franklin song God is
always working so I smile because I know
he back there see that dirt builds
character in you when they talking about
you it teaches you to withstand it then
it gives you something to push through
so when you put the seed and you put the
dirt on it if you understand stress
stress really ain’t just dirt stress see
they don’t call it dirt when a planet
they call it soil because the soil has
nutrients in it
what the nutrients when people talking
about your dog and you lied on you back
by stealing from you talking about you
they’re actually putting nutrients you
got claritin now cuz now and now the see
if they put a camera under the ground
you’d have seen the seed sprout open and
start coming through the dirt because
the dirt is necessary you improve
yourself you know if you don’t really
want to be everything you see above
ground that blossoms and plants and
grows and that’s beautiful
it was on the ground one time all them
potatoes collard greens they was
underground one time then apple trees
they was underground one time so they
had to prove they sell so you want to be
successful well then you got to prove
yourself you got to push through the
dirt you got to come up through here
you’ve got to come out then you sprout
and then Bishop saying then you become a
tree next thing you know you got fruit
so when people try to figure out how to
make a million dollars they have no idea
how daunting that is because if you know
how to make a million dollars you go
make it tomorrow position came figure
out how to $1,000,000 do you go
somewhere and sit down that’s the wrong
approach if you apply your gift your
god-given gift that he gave you you have
millions already at your disposal if you
break it down inch by inch anything’s a
cinch for the 10 by 10 theory which is
very simple you don’t need a million
dollar do you need a ten dollar idea you
need something that you do your gift
that God gave you to make ten dollars
that’s all you got to be no I don’t care
if it’s cutting hair cutting somebody’s
grass watching somebody’s car I don’t
care if isn’t mowing somebody lawn i
dont campus the driving people today
destinations I don’t care if it’s
babysitting I don’t care if it’s baking
cookies up high you have some braiding
somebody have you have something that
you can do so well that someone will
give you ten dollars for it right my
paper for me do this for me somebody
give you ten dollars for once they give
you ten dollars all you got to do is
whatever you did get that ten do it
more times you know my friend have $100
you have $1 $100 simply because you took
a $10 idea and you did it 10 times well
guess what if you take that $100 that
you made since you’ve done it 10 times
and you do it 10 more times I Got News
for you my friend
you now have $1,000 $1,000 you make
$1,000 guess what all you got to do you
got to multiply that effort again do
whatever you did to do a thousand
dollars do it two more times
my friend you now have ten thousand
dollars you got ten thousand dollars now
imagine if you was making an extra ten
thousand a month just imagine if you was
making an extra ten thousand dollars a
month that’s 120 thousand dollars a year
but I Got News for you my friend
whatever you did whatever you did
whatever it took to make yourself ten
thousand dollars all you got to do is do
it ten more times two more times my
friend
you now have 100 thousand dollars
I Got News for you now if you can make
$100,000 you’re just a step away from
being a millionaire man because now you
have a few more people to help you out
that that you can do portions of what
you do so you can duplicate that effort
and one more time just one more time and
do it ten times man that sounds hard it
is hard but what else you got to do what
you going to stop at two hundred
thousand all you got to do is duplicate
your efforts by ten you duplicate your
efforts by ten ten times a hundred
thousand welcome to the club
my friends you are now a millionaire
congratulations you became a millionaire
with a ten dollar idea so stop trying to
stop bogging yourself down trying to
figure out how to make a million do what
you can do to make ten dollars and then
do the ten by ten theory inch by inch
anything since when you are a person who
is success minded you have a wagon that
you are pulling uphill attached to this
wagon is this very thick rope you are
shirtless you have a rope on your back
and you are pulling this wagon uphill at
all times you are totally responsible
for your wagon you are the only one on
rope now in order for the we’re going to
go up the hill you have to have people
like-minded people people on your staff
employees people who you partner with
the thing of it is though you are the
only one responsible for the pool what
you have to be careful of is as you pull
this road up the rope up the hill you
have to make sure that everybody that’s
on the wagon is doing something to get
the wagon up the hill everybody’s foot
got to be hanging off that wagon pushing
somebody got to get off the wagon and
move rocks from under the wheel it’s an
old wagon you pull it what happens along
the way and you got to be careful there
are people who will get on your wagon
and have no value get on your wagon and
become very very comfortable all of a
sudden they feet up off the ground they
just own the wagon
and you have them in your life as a
mother everybody has something in the
way get there you all got somebody
already there’s a many wagon there
pulling let’s do enough there’s got
their feet up seriously sometimes your
children they don’t just put their feet
up now at a young age you understand
that but once they get to a certain age
you want film to help out sometimes it’s
your business partner sometimes the
people you hire sometimes the people in
your other department that’s supposed to
be helping with a project and they just
got their feet up whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa you are now making my haul on
this rope more difficult than it is you
must now share yourself with this dead
weight if you don’t yo yo climb with
your rope will be it’s agonizing one of
my weak points in my personal life is I
don’t like technical stuff so even
though I have to be on Twitter and
Instagram and Facebook I don’t care for
that so guess what I find somebody who
loves to do that you know I find
somebody who has a strength where I will
have a weakness and I partner with them
all you’re trying to do is get to the
goal
no one gets there by themselves
everybody needs help now when you know
what you got going for you be confident
not cocky managing your strengths
knowing what they are and don’t let
nobody talk you out of it and that gets
you fight ready
you get fight ready like that you got to
know you helps you develop your skills
all the while you’re developing your
strengths is not it you just got to keep
developing the strength don’t everybody
talking at the same time you must work
on improving your weaknesses so I’ve had
to in spite of myself get on Instagram
get on Twitter get on Facebook I got to
do two videos whether I want to or not
because the world is moving to social
media if I had as many followers as Kim
Kardashian I probably wouldn’t even have
to do this TV show Jennifer says life is
what happens when you’re busy making
plans should my plan be solid or
flexible once I’m clear on what I want
well it’s a combination of both
but you got to get tunnel vision to
reach your goal you have to put blinders
on and say I’m laser being focused on
this but know this the road to success
is always under construction so just
knowing when you strike out on your goal
you’re going to have to get ready for
flexibility because it’s going to be
detours pitfalls stop signs me and
working or delays detours going around
that has to be expected Terrell who’s
our floor manager here he was that I
said his first job out of high school
was at Magic Johnson in LA or runs a TV
show
see the hustle man somebody said their
wonderful sign one day it was like a
sign that goes in front of a house just
for sale it says your dream is free the
hustle of the soul is separate and
that’s so true man you never see you can
never give up you don’t ever know where
God is just waiting on you to pass the
test but but you have to stay with
something and go through the test to get
to the end see you see Peter if you quit
there’s no way you’ll ever know you have
to keep putting one foot in front of
other even if you don’t know what way
it’s not your job to know the way it’s
just our job to believe that’s what
people mess up as people you you try to
figure it out show me the scripture that
tells you to figure it out
where is that scripture has no scripture
tells you to figure it out it tells you
to ask and believe not what you got to
do a scarf or something then believe it
now if you got a favorite our work today
you gotta be willing to hustle because
the house is sold separately now
the dream for you dream all day long but
the hustle sold separately God will all
of us to do the gift that he put in us
now your gift might be attached to a job
some of y’all should have been in quit
your job and tried your business I did
but now you I’ve got these bills I can’t
quit tell you what if you don’t quit if
you do not quit they go fulfill your
dream you ain’t ever gonna be happy
it ain’t no way cuz you ain’t livin in
your dream you got to do it just take
the leap of faith what you’re waiting on
God being God who you are you want cover
cuts and tears on you on the way once
you jump because when you jump just
notice right away the parachute not
gonna open right away you jump you’re
gonna hit the rock edges are rockin on
it but after a while it opens but it
ain’t gonna open if you don’t jump now
you can stay safe you can stand on the
clip watch everybody sawing by and never
jump keep their parachute on your back
tough day to pack be nice and say don’t
jump but you are watch a lot of people
saw and by but they perish you know
until you jump you will never have a
life that God walk to the head if you
ain’t going junk um man you got to jump
just jump wanted to ask you how do you
overcome the fears and doubts I mean
look the the fears and doubts are part
of it can I be honest with you
everything I’ve ever done started with a
fear my walking out on stage that starts
with the fear when Oprah came and got me
for this line plan I told I said boy
this is like a stand-up appearance for
me I’m back there sweating I don’t wanna
talk to nobody I have to overcome fear
all the time
when I wrote my book I was afraid when
they told me we wanted you to be a game
show host I’ve never done that
I was afraid when they said won’t you do
a talk show I was afraid I have to
overcome fear all the time but the best
way for me to overcome fear is the dream
has to be bigger than the field
that’s the only way you turn around and
run at it I just want something so great
I aim for stuff so big that the dream is
bigger than the fear look at it like
this man
if you don’t ever
for this high it would be better for you
to face your fear or just deal with the
fact that you just never gave it a shot
face it definitely see that’s what the
dream and I saw you with you with your
tie on I know that makeup Mir that’s
backstage somewhere in a dressing room
somebody’s high-end guys like you is no
such thing as – oh I’m 57 if I went back
out there I get hired tomorrow as a
stand-up if you find if there’s a market
place for you now look you got art where
you are right just start where you are
now behind me is a sign and I want you
to take a look at this sign as they pull
the cord can you see this yeah I’m
looking at it here we go
all right mr. Harvey I want to read the
last paragraph of the proclamation it
says now therefore I Mayor Frank G
Jackson the 56 mayor of the city of
Cleveland do hereby offer this
proclamation in recognition of the Steve
Harvey date I invite all cleaners to
join me in congratulating mr. Harvey on
his success and commending him on his
contribution to the city of Cleveland
and the community one more time
happy birthday to Steve Harvey
that’s the bread on me what are you
thoughts about all of this
I made my family man but you know what
that look at that I learned everything I
know about survival on that block right
there with them dudes you look at that
right there
you
thank you so much for watching I made
this video because Titian Stan asked me
to so if there’s a famous entrepreneur
that you want me to profile next leave
in the comments below and I’ll see what
I can do I’d also love to know which of
Steve’s top 10 rules impact you the most
and why leave in the comments I’ll join
the discussion thank you so much for
watching
continue to believe and I’ll see you
soon
whatever you think riches is that’s your
definition there’s a survey that says
riches and success is being happy while
all you have to do then is determine
what is it that makes you happy and
start down that path now to find true
success I believe that you’ve got to do
some work because it’s not free
everybody would love to wake up and just
be happy and bubbly but it requires some
work so I want to share with you
something from my book chapter eleven
there is no self-made man now most of us
want to believe that we’re independent
that if we set our minds to do something
simply it can get done well I got news
for you unless you look to others you
can work twice as hard to get half as
much sometimes you need a partner in the
deal in order to aid you along the way
there is nothing wrong with asking for
what you want you know for a long time I
used to think that the path to success
was going at it alone because I was
always busy pride in myself or not
asking for help I was homeless I didn’t
want to ask for help I lived in a car I
didn’t want to ask for help and I almost
missed out I didn’t realize how many
people were willing to have discussions
with me about success you know most
people that are successful if you ask
them for help they’ll give it to you I’m
talking about advice principles
solutions not money see you what one
thing you is nothing never good idea
don’t walk up to a wealthy person that
just asked for money you know many times
they didn’t got that but if you’re
interested in learning how to fish a lot
of people to teach you how to fish as
opposed to giving you a fish sandwich
because they know if they give you the
fish sandwich you’re gonna eat it you’re
gonna have to come back a lot of people
have helped me along the way Magic
Johnson Oprah Winfrey the president did
I’ve had some conversations with some
people who have it together and they’ve
taught me many things about succeed that
you might think that requesting help is
a huge-ass
but it’s not people don’t mind sharing
knowledge what is knowledge unless is
shared if you have knowledge but you
never shared how we know you got it
and just remember there is no shame in
wanting something this whole world is
based on wanting something you know
don’t sit up and listen to some group
you know wanting something is a sin no
it’s not you got to want something the
scripture says a man without a dream or
vision shall perish so the day you quit
wanting something you might as well push
your chips up to the window it’s a wrap
so lose the shame and you’ll have access
to more power and so here’s the key I
want you to tell you about success is
all about building relationships it’s
not what you know it’s who you know some
people might not step up when you ask
them for help they might not but guess
what the worst thing can happen to you
if somebody refuses you you didn’t have
it anyway
what are you worrying about that for
well they might say no or they might
turn me down ask people you never know
suppose they say yes that could be the
turning factor but you know there are
some principles that will increase your
chances of getting a success know your
worth don’t let nobody else determine it
and don’t assume anything
people aren’t mind reader’s they don’t
know what you think and don’t assume
they know unless you ask with specifics
and then recognize that know is not a
rejection every time you hear no it
moves you one step closer to a yes
everybody can’t say no now unless you
got a harebrained idea
and just remember that success is about
building a world that looks the way you
want it to nobody else never be afraid
to reinvent yourself my career my entire
career is a study in reinvention you
know I started out as a comedian that
was it I never planned on hosting a
radio show hosting a game show or
hosting a daytime talk show I never did
writing books none of it
making movies none of it reinvention
happens when you diversify your guilt
there lies your greatest secret for
success
you’ve got to discover your gift and
when you discover it you got to soak it
you got to wring it out man you got to
diversify it most of us only have one
Talent but do you know that that’s all
you need mine happens to be to take
information and immediately transfer it
into other kinds of platforms now when I
was younger I actually thought that I
could only do that with comedy but as
I’ve gotten older I discovered through
diversification that it was a little bit
more than that that I could also take
information immediately transfer it into
inspiration I could turn it into
motivation I can offer it as guidance so
now sitting on a talk show I actually
have something to talk about all the
failed marriages I got something to talk
about
to be at homeless I got something to
talk about being dead broke I got
something to talk about having bad
credit tax problems I got something to
talk about whatever hole you’ve been
here not just about drug myself through
it but I came out of all of it because I
was not afraid to diversify my gift even
the book act like a lady think like a
man it was all about me diversifying
again okay I had taken two failed
marriages and I had taken the love for
my daughters and I combined those things
I taught my daughters what I knew about
men now little did I discovered that I
had a little over four million daughters
in this country cousins and nieces and
stuff like that who needed that same
information and and that was a huge part
for me to take the
information and turn it into a book that
turned it into a mega star movie – and
produced a lot of things for me but it
also helped a lot of people one of the
other tricks for reinventing yourself is
not letting your background become a
limitation if you take that background
that you’re from and never let it define
you but allow it to redefine you all
that stuff works for the good do you
understand that you needed everything
that’s happened to you to happen to you
in the exact order that has happened in
order for you to be the person that you
are today all that failing and getting
over you need it all at that so it’s
good to be steeped in the traditions of
your gift but don’t get stuck in them
look if your gift is bacon don’t assume
that there’s only one way to do it if
you bake bake but you can’t just bake
for people you know bake for people you
don’t know
your musician let yourself explore other
types of music I got to tell you example
the roots who play on Jimmy Fallon show
they steeped in hip-hop but they’re also
great musicians so what they do is they
take all of that talent and now guess
what hip-hop jazz R&B classic pop rock
they didn’t just get stuck on here but
I’m doing hip hop that’s it now they do
whatever LL Cool J he’ll pop on the top
actors on TV today
Queen Latifah hip-hop big active right
now you get it Jerry Seinfeld nothing
but a comedian on the biggest actors on
TV today remember you can win if you’re
not afraid to reinvent yourself stop
getting stuck just go ahead and give a
try you never know
you also need some outside perspective
if you listen to people that’s close to
you that have your best interest outside
you can use these outside observers to
gain knowledge to assess yourself and
when you reset reach out to get these
outside opinions be open keep your
emotions in check but you can’t say that
but just keep your emotions in check now
from now you’re going to have a good
feel about what your strengths and
weaknesses are and you can work on them
to build them
at it as simply running jumping singing
and dancing failure means you’ve now
learned another valuable lesson that
pushes you one step closer to success
everything you see above ground that
blossoms and plants and grows and that’s
beautiful it was on the ground one time
when people try to figure out how to
make a million dollars they have no idea
how daunting that is because if you know
how to make a million dollars you go
make it tomorrow if I had as many
followers as Kim Kardashian I probably
wouldn’t even have to do this TV show
when you strike out on your goal you’re
going to have to get ready for
flexibility the dream is free the hustle
the soul separate I aim for stuff so big
that the dream is bigger than the fear
and I want you to take a look at this
sign as they pull the cord can you see
this yeah I’m looking at it he’s an
American comedian TV host actor and
author he’s the host of the Steve Harvey
Morning Show Steve Harvey family feud
and little big shots he’s a three-time
Daytime Emmy Award winner he’s Steve
Harvey and here’s my take on his top ten
rules for success your gift can be
anything you can’t look at it as simply

I’ll tell you one thing your gift is the

valuable lesson that pushes you one step
closer to success it means go in another
direction to go in another direction
failure is not the end all know people
keep getting buried on the front I bet
you that you have failed
more times than anyone in this room
absolutely I promise you you have I’m
willing to bet that I have failed
more times than anyone in this room
because I have attempted so many things
that you have no idea what I’ve
attempted and failed
but I don’t let the failures define it’s
God pointing you in another direction
it’s it’s an and it’s clear about that
and you’ve got to be willing to go with
that being cause that being in the road
is the only way success is not a
straight line it is not it’s it’s
crooked is down in the valley is back up
over a mountain see I’m a seed I really
am I see but a seed has to be planted a
seed got to have dirt put on top of it
if you take a seed and throw it on the
concrete and walk off the Sun just burn
it up but guess what logically in my
mind it doesn’t make sense
that to grow something you should dig a
hole put it down in there and cover it
with dirt logically that don’t make no
sense to me but odo
see dirt is necessary for growth and
development dirt builds character dealt
dealt gives you the push through factor
dirt makes you come with it when you
don’t feel like coming with it no more
and you get dirt in a lot of different
ways all the other had dirt fold on you
and dirt ain’t always what you want it’s
somebody talking about you down on your
job it’s somebody accusing you or
something that you didn’t do if somebody
telling you you ain’t gonna make it if
somebody shared information about you
that ain’t true got everybody get dirt
put on them but see when you getting put
under that stress please know God is
always working Kurt Franklin song God is
always working so I smile because I know
he back there see that dirt builds
character in you when they talking about
you it teaches you to withstand it then
it gives you something to push through
so when you put the seed and you put the
dirt on it if you understand stress
stress really ain’t just dirt stress see
they don’t call it dirt when a planet
they call it soil because the soil has
nutrients in it
what the nutrients when people talking
about your dog and you lied on you back
by stealing from you talking about you
they’re actually putting nutrients you
got claritin now cuz now and now the see
if they put a camera under the ground
you’d have seen the seed sprout open and
start coming through the dirt because
the dirt is necessary you improve
yourself you know if you don’t really
want to be everything you see above
ground that blossoms and plants and
grows and that’s beautiful
it was on the ground one time all them
potatoes collard greens they was
underground one time then apple trees
they was underground one time so they
had to prove they sell so you want to be
successful well then you got to prove
yourself you got to push through the
dirt you got to come up through here
you’ve got to come out then you sprout
and then Bishop saying then you become a
tree next thing you know you got fruit
so when people try to figure out how to
make a million dollars they have no idea
how daunting that is because if you know
how to make a million dollars you go
make it tomorrow position came figure
out how to $1,000,000 do you go
somewhere and sit down that’s the wrong
approach if you apply your gift your
god-given gift that he gave you you have
millions already at your disposal if you
break it down inch by inch anything’s a
cinch for the 10 by 10 theory which is
very simple you don’t need a million
dollar do you need a ten dollar idea you
need something that you do your gift
that God gave you to make ten dollars
that’s all you got to be no I don’t care
if it’s cutting hair cutting somebody’s
grass watching somebody’s car I don’t
care if isn’t mowing somebody lawn i
dont campus the driving people today
destinations I don’t care if it’s
babysitting I don’t care if it’s baking
cookies up high you have some braiding
somebody have you have something that
you can do so well that someone will
give you ten dollars for it right my
paper for me do this for me somebody
give you ten dollars for once they give
you ten dollars all you got to do is
whatever you did get that ten do it
more times you know my friend have $100
you have $1 $100 simply because you took
a $10 idea and you did it 10 times well
guess what if you take that $100 that
you made since you’ve done it 10 times

anything since when you are a person who
is success minded you have a wagon that
you are pulling uphill attached to this
wagon is this very thick rope you are
shirtless you have a rope on your back
and you are pulling this wagon uphill at
all times you are totally responsible
for your wagon you are the only one on
rope now in order for the we’re going to
go up the hill you have to have people
like-minded people people on your staff
employees people who you partner with
the thing of it is though you are the
only one responsible for the pool what
you have to be careful of is as you pull
this road up the rope up the hill you
have to make sure that everybody that’s
on the wagon is doing something to get
the wagon up the hill everybody’s foot
got to be hanging off that wagon pushing
somebody got to get off the wagon and
move rocks from under the wheel it’s an
old wagon you pull it what happens along
the way and you got to be careful there
are people who will get on your wagon
and have no value get on your wagon and
become very very comfortable all of a
sudden they feet up off the ground they
just own the wagon
and you have them in your life as a
mother everybody has something in the
way get there you all got somebody
already there’s a many wagon there
pulling let’s do enough there’s got
their feet up seriously sometimes your
children they don’t just put their feet
up now at a young age you understand
that but once they get to a certain age
you want film to help out sometimes it’s
your business partner sometimes the
people you hire sometimes the people in
your other department that’s supposed to
be helping with a project and they just
got their feet up whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa you are now making my haul on
this rope more difficult than it is you
must now share yourself with this dead
weight if you don’t yo yo climb with
your rope will be it’s agonizing one of
my weak points in my personal life is I
don’t like technical stuff so even
though I have to be on Twitter and
Instagram and Facebook I don’t care for
that so guess what I find somebody who
loves to do that you know I find
somebody who has a strength where I will
have a weakness and I partner with them
all you’re trying to do is get to the
goal
no one gets there by themselves
everybody needs help now when you know
what you got going for you be confident
not cocky managing your strengths
knowing what they are and don’t let
nobody talk you out of it and that gets
you fight ready
you get fight ready like that you got to
know you helps you develop your skills
all the while you’re developing your
strengths is not it you just got to keep
developing the strength don’t everybody
talking at the same time you must work
on improving your weaknesses so I’ve had
to in spite of myself get on Instagram
get on Twitter get on Facebook I got to
do two videos whether I want to or not
because the world is moving to social
media if I had as many followers as Kim
Kardashian I probably wouldn’t even have
to do this TV show Jennifer says life is
what happens when you’re busy making
plans should my plan be solid or
flexible once I’m clear on what I want
well it’s a combination of both
but you got to get tunnel vision to
reach your goal you have to put blinders
on and say I’m laser being focused on
this but know this the road to success
is always under construction so just
knowing when you strike out on your goal
you’re going to have to get ready for
flexibility because it’s going to be
detours pitfalls stop signs me and
working or delays detours going around
that has to be expected Terrell who’s
our floor manager here he was that I
said his first job out of high school
was at Magic Johnson in LA or runs a TV
show
see the hustle man somebody said their
wonderful sign one day it was like a
sign that goes in front of a house just
for sale it says your dream is free the
hustle of the soul is separate and
that’s so true man you never see you can
never give up you don’t ever know where
God is just waiting on you to pass the
test but but you have to stay with
something and go through the test to get
to the end see you see Peter if you quit
there’s no way you’ll ever know you have
to keep putting one foot in front of
other even if you don’t know what way
it’s not your job to know the way it’s
just our job to believe that’s what
people mess up as people you you try to
figure it out show me the scripture that
tells you to figure it out
where is that scripture has no scripture
tells you to figure it out it tells you
to ask and believe not what you got to
do a scarf or something then believe it
now if you got a favorite our work today
you gotta be willing to hustle because
the house is sold separately now
the dream for you dream all day long but
the hustle sold separately God will all
of us to do the gift that he put in us
now your gift might be attached to a job
some of y’all should have been in quit
your job and tried your business I did
but now you I’ve got these bills I can’t
quit tell you what if you don’t quit if
you do not quit they go fulfill your
dream you ain’t ever gonna be happy
it ain’t no way cuz you ain’t livin in
your dream you got to do it just take
the leap of faith what you’re waiting on
God being God who you are you want cover
cuts and tears on you on the way once
you jump because when you jump just
notice right away the parachute not
gonna open right away you jump you’re
gonna hit the rock edges are rockin on
it but after a while it opens but it
ain’t gonna open if you don’t jump now
you can stay safe you can stand on the
clip watch everybody sawing by and never
jump keep their parachute on your back
tough day to pack be nice and say don’t
jump but you are watch a lot of people
saw and by but they perish you know
until you jump you will never have a
life that God walk to the head if you
ain’t going junk um man you got to jump
just jump wanted to ask you how do you
overcome the fears and doubts I mean
look the the fears and doubts are part
of it can I be honest with you
everything I’ve ever done started with a
fear my walking out on stage that starts
with the fear when Oprah came and got me
for this line plan I told I said boy
this is like a stand-up appearance for
me I’m back there sweating I don’t wanna
talk to nobody I have to overcome fear
all the time
when I wrote my book I was afraid when
they told me we wanted you to be a game
show host I’ve never done that
I was afraid when they said won’t you do
a talk show I was afraid I have to
overcome fear all the time but the best
way for me to overcome fear is the dream
has to be bigger than the field
that’s the only way you turn around and
run at it I just want something so great
I aim for stuff so big that the dream is
bigger than the fear look at it like
this man
if you don’t ever
for this high it would be better for you
to face your fear or just deal with the
fact that you just never gave it a shot
face it definitely see that’s what the
dream and I saw you with you with your
tie on I know that makeup Mir that’s
backstage somewhere in a dressing room
somebody’s high-end guys like you is no
such thing as – oh I’m 57 if I went back
out there I get hired tomorrow as a
stand-up if you find if there’s a market
place for you now look you got art where
you are right just start where you are
now behind me is a sign and I want you
to take a look at this sign as they pull
the cord can you see this yeah I’m
looking at it here we go
all right mr. Harvey I want to read the
last paragraph of the proclamation it

Jackson the 56 mayor of the city of
Cleveland do hereby offer this
proclamation in recognition of the Steve
Harvey date I invite all cleaners to

his success and commending him on his
contribution to the city of Cleveland
and the community one more time
happy birthday to Steve Harvey
that’s the bread on me what are you
thoughts about all of this
I made my family man but you know what
that look at that I learned everything I
know about survival on that block right
there with them dudes you look at that
right there
you

to so if there’s a famous entrepreneur
that you want me to profile next leave
in the comments below and I’ll see what
I can do I’d also love to know which of
Steve’s top 10 rules impact you the most
and why leave in the comments I’ll join

watching
continue to believe and I’ll see you

whatever you think riches is that’s your
definition there’s a survey that says
riches and success is being happy while
all you have to do then is determine
what is it that makes you happy and
start down that path now to find true
success I believe that you’ve got to do
some work because it’s not free
everybody would love to wake up and just
be happy and bubbly but it requires some
work so I want to share with you
something from my book chapter eleven
there is no self-made man now most of us
want to believe that we’re independent
that if we set our minds to do something
simply it can get done well I got news
for you unless you look to others you
can work twice as hard to get half as
much sometimes you need a partner in the
deal in order to aid you along the way
there is nothing wrong with asking for
what you want you know for a long time I
used to think that the path to success
was going at it alone because I was
always busy pride in myself or not
asking for help I was homeless I didn’t
want to ask for help I lived in a car I
didn’t want to ask for help and I almost
missed out I didn’t realize how many
people were willing to have discussions
with me about success you know most
people that are successful if you ask
them for help they’ll give it to you I’m
talking about advice principles
solutions not money see you what one
thing you is nothing never good idea
don’t walk up to a wealthy person that
just asked for money you know many times
they didn’t got that but if you’re
interested in learning how to fish a lot
of people to teach you how to fish as
opposed to giving you a fish sandwich
because they know if they give you the
fish sandwich you’re gonna eat it you’re
gonna have to come back a lot of people
have helped me along the way Magic
Johnson Oprah Winfrey the president did
I’ve had some conversations with some
people who have it together and they’ve
taught me many things about succeed that
you might think that requesting help is
a huge-ass
but it’s not people don’t mind sharing
knowledge what is knowledge unless is
shared if you have knowledge but you
never shared how we know you got it
and just remember there is no shame in
wanting something this whole world is
based on wanting something you know
don’t sit up and listen to some group
you know wanting something is a sin no
it’s not you got to want something the
scripture says a man without a dream or
vision shall perish so the day you quit
wanting something you might as well push
your chips up to the window it’s a wrap
so lose the shame and you’ll have access
to more power and so here’s the key I
want you to tell you about success is
all about building relationships it’s
not what you know it’s who you know some
people might not step up when you ask
them for help they might not but guess
what the worst thing can happen to you
if somebody refuses you you didn’t have
it anyway
what are you worrying about that for
well they might say no or they might
turn me down ask people you never know
suppose they say yes that could be the
turning factor but you know there are
some principles that will increase your
chances of getting a success know your
worth don’t let nobody else determine it
and don’t assume anything
people aren’t mind reader’s they don’t
know what you think and don’t assume
they know unless you ask with specifics
and then recognize that know is not a
rejection every time you hear no it
moves you one step closer to a yes
everybody can’t say no now unless you
got a harebrained idea
and just remember that success is about
building a world that looks the way you
want it to nobody else never be afraid
to reinvent yourself my career my entire
career is a study in reinvention you
know I started out as a comedian that
was it I never planned on hosting a
radio show hosting a game show or
hosting a daytime talk show I never did
writing books none of it
making movies none of it reinvention
happens when you diversify your guilt
there lies your greatest secret for
success
you’ve got to discover your gift and
when you discover it you got to soak it
you got to wring it out man you got to
diversify it most of us only have one
Talent but do you know that that’s all
you need mine happens to be to take
information and immediately transfer it
into other kinds of platforms now when I
was younger I actually thought that I
could only do that with comedy but as
I’ve gotten older I discovered through
diversification that it was a little bit
more than that that I could also take
information immediately transfer it into
inspiration I could turn it into
motivation I can offer it as guidance so
now sitting on a talk show I actually
have something to talk about all the
failed marriages I got something to talk
about
to be at homeless I got something to
talk about being dead broke I got
something to talk about having bad
credit tax problems I got something to
talk about whatever hole you’ve been
here not just about drug myself through
it but I came out of all of it because I
was not afraid to diversify my gift even
the book act like a lady think like a
man it was all about me diversifying
again okay I had taken two failed
marriages and I had taken the love for
my daughters and I combined those things
I taught my daughters what I knew about
men now little did I discovered that I
had a little over four million daughters
in this country cousins and nieces and
stuff like that who needed that same
information and and that was a huge part
for me to take the
information and turn it into a book that
turned it into a mega star movie – and
produced a lot of things for me but it
also helped a lot of people one of the
other tricks for reinventing yourself is
not letting your background become a
limitation if you take that background
that you’re from and never let it define
you but allow it to redefine you all
that stuff works for the good do you
understand that you needed everything
that’s happened to you to happen to you
in the exact order that has happened in
order for you to be the person that you
are today all that failing and getting
over you need it all at that so it’s
good to be steeped in the traditions of
your gift but don’t get stuck in them
look if your gift is bacon don’t assume
that there’s only one way to do it if
you bake bake but you can’t just bake
for people you know bake for people you
don’t know
your musician let yourself explore other
types of music I got to tell you example
the roots who play on Jimmy Fallon show
they steeped in hip-hop but they’re also
great musicians so what they do is they
take all of that talent and now guess
what hip-hop jazz R&B classic pop rock
they didn’t just get stuck on here but
I’m doing hip hop that’s it now they do
whatever LL Cool J he’ll pop on the top
actors on TV today
Queen Latifah hip-hop big active right
now you get it Jerry Seinfeld nothing
but a comedian on the biggest actors on
TV today remember you can win if you’re
not afraid to reinvent yourself stop
getting stuck just go ahead and give a
try you never know
you also need some outside perspective
if you listen to people that’s close to
you that have your best interest outside
you can use these outside observers to
gain knowledge to assess yourself and
when you reset reach out to get these
outside opinions be open keep your
emotions in check but you can’t say that
but just keep your emotions in check now
from now you’re going to have a good
feel about what your strengths and
weaknesses are and you can work on them
to build them
