“STOP Making EXCUSES!” – Barack Obama (@BarackObama) – #Entspresso


there is no excuse for not trying where

you are right now doesn’t have to

determine where you’ll end up no one’s

written your destiny for you

most people push themselves a little bit

but they’re nowhere close to doing their

best I never let anybody else control my

destiny my mom’s taught me to make

things happen on my own not to depend on

anybody rise and shine it’s expresso

time what’s up believe nation it’s up in

my one word is believe and I believe in

you I believe you have an amazing gift

inside you that I want to see exploded

on to the world so let’s start your day

off right together grab your coffee and

sip on today’s message write your own

destiny over to you Barack Obama maybe

someone in your family has lost their

job and there’s not enough money to go

around maybe you live in a neighborhood

where you don’t feel safe or have

friends who are pressuring you to do

things you know aren’t right there is no

excuse for not trying where you are

right now it doesn’t have to determine

where you’ll end up no one’s written

your destiny for you because here in

America you write your own destiny you

make your own future one of the most

important habits you can develop for

yourself is to learn to try your best

every single day and this applies to

being an entrepreneur it applies to

being a husband or wife it applies to

every areas of your life it applies to

the goals that you are setting for

yourself here’s a great practice at

night you look at your goals and then

you say did I try my best to accomplish

that goal that I try my best to be a

great entrepreneur did I try my best to

be a great husband or a great father a

great mother a great wife did I try my

best most people don’t most people Coast

most people come nowhere close to trying

their best most people do just enough to

get by most people push themselves a

little bit but they’re nowhere

close to doing their best and you have

no excuse and no reason not to try your

best on the regular basis and it’s a

great check-in on a daily basis because

people will let you off the hook your

friends your family your spouse a lot of

times they’ll let you have to hook the

sable look you’re working so hard look

at all the effort that you put in in but

you know you know you know you know you

could have done better you know you

could have pushed a little bit harder

you know that wasn’t your best and I

want you to start to feel like if –

yesterday wasn’t your best if you didn’t

give your all – yesterday to make it

great

that you’re gonna do it today because

we’re coasting because you think you

have so much time but you don’t your

window of opportunity is closing this

idea that you have to build something

amazing will not be available in a

couple years it won’t be available

forever you have one life make it count

and you make it count by doing your best

every single day and again this applies

to not just business it’s not just that

you have to work 24 hours a day and

that’s your best

what does best look like for you and how

often are you hitting it defining that

for yourself and then judging yourself

against your own criteria because in my

life people will let me off the hook all

the time they think I’m doing so many

amazing things I am my harshest critic I

am the one pushing myself as far as I

can go to say I know I can do better I

know this video can be better I know

tomorrow’s weather can be even better

than what I recorded today I know I have

the ability and so therefore I must go

out and create something better so I

would strongly encourage you to every

night have a check-in and ask yourself

did I do my best to accomplish my goals

today and move them forward and if not

then commit to doing a better job

tomorrow now I want else I add that

sometimes your best isn’t good enough

yet and yet is the key word sometimes

your best you gave your best it was

amazing for what you could do but it

still was good enough you tried to make

a youtube video and you gave your best

at it and the video sucked and nobody

watched it and you got no comments you

tried your best to learn the piano or

create a piece of art or whatever the

thing was you tried your best at

and you’ve got zero results expect that

to happen sometimes your best is not

good enough yet with practice with

repetition with drilling with doing it

over and over and over again you will

get better and it will become more than

good enough to expect to be great at

something at the beginning is a fool’s

errand and I think this is what holds a

lot of entrepreneurs back they go crazy

for three months they put everything

they’ve got into making this business

happen and it doesn’t lift and they say

that’s it my best wasn’t good enough and

then they quit and then you live the

rest of your life when your gret saying

I just wish I gave a little bit more or

somebody else made tons of money off of

my idea what I encourage you to think

about I guarantee you I guarantee you I

guarantee you if you gave your best on a

consistent basis if day in and day out

you gave your best in the effort you

were putting out in the education coming

in in trying to develop and improve your

skills and understanding of the thing

that you’re trying to get better about

if you felt like you gave your best

every day I guarantee you things will

get better it may not be today it may

not be tomorrow it may not be in a week

it may not be in a month but I guarantee

you if you give your best if you don’t

quit if you don’t give up if you give

your best every single day things will

get better and you will surprise

yourself at what you’re able to create

now I’ve got some really special bonus

cups for you but before that question of

the day I want to know what are you

working on

to be the best stack what are you

working on that you can improve that you

can ask yourself tonight was I the best

at this today what is that thing leaving

the comments below really curious to

find out thank you guys so much for

watching I believe in you I hope you

continue to believe in yourself and

whatever your one word is much love I’ll

see you again tomorrow morning for

another shot of espresso and enjoy the

was there some pivotal moment for you in

your life where you just really got it

and and something happened a fire

ignited inside you that made it so that

you had all the moving parts to make

this amazing career unfold I think the

death of my mother probably got me

really focused and I understood that

there wasn’t gonna be anyone there to

take care of me had to take care of

myself and just out of respect for her

life and all the things she did to make

me a better person I had to apply all

those things so you know at like 17 my

mother died when I was 16 or 17 you know

I was running the streets so heavy and

it was getting so critical then I put

myself in boarding school you know I

figured out how to get a scholarship and

because of the ability that my mother

gave me to articulate what’s on my mind

to read to write you know cannot be

afraid and also I was you know boxing so

I got went to the boys club and they

were given our scholarship for you know

he took a test I passed the test and you

know I made it and I was just always

able to put myself in a better place I

never let anybody else control my

destiny my mom’s taught me to make

things happen on my own not to depend on

anybody and if I have an opinion to

speak on it life demands that you pick

up the pace if you don’t pick up the

pace you’re gonna be left behind I’m

amazed at the people that lack the

flexibility to pick up the pace they

just get in a red I scroll down here and

I’m gonna scroll back I’m gonna stroll

over here I’m gonna stroll over there

one of the most amazing thing about the

disaster at Malaysia is that when it

happened everybody had to pick up the

pace all the news media had to pick up

the pace they were booking night flights

and flying over here and flying over

there somebody had to work overtime

won’t be home for three days typing in

the middle of night research going or

because when something happens everybody

gotta pick up the pace that’s why I

can’t deal with people who cannot pick

up the pace don’t be scrolling when I

man one one on you Andy people who can

pick up the pace slap your name and say

pick up the pace something’s about to

happen pick up the pace something’s

about to happen pick up the pace

something’s about to happen pick up the

pace something’s about to happen pick up

the pace something is about to happen

pick up the pace something’s about to

have it I came to tell the young people

I would rather aim for the stars and not

hit them then to not aim at all I would

rather go after it and not get it did

not go after it at all I’d rather try

and fail did not try at all I don’t want

to live with the idea wonder what would

have happened had I done more with my

life

I’m gonna go for it come hell or high

water I’m going after my destiny concern

able say run you gotta run after your

destiny you can’t stroll after your

destiny

you can’t walk after your destiny you

gotta run

you’ve gotta run you gotta run you gotta

run you can’t just wake up in the

morning let me see what’s gonna happen

today I don’t know I just woke up oh you

should stay in the bed give the day to

somebody who’s gone wrong after that

yesterday give the day to somebody who

has a plan who has a strategy because

success is never an accident and if you

don’t want to do something with their

life my message and something of me

moving forward is how powerful we are

all are as individuals and how you know

you know looking into more reasons as to

how I got to where I am today and even

something simple like I was doing an

interview earlier and they asked about

visualization I’m like I’ve actually

done visualization since I was in

go-karting like pictured the perfect lap

and so you know trying to figure out

what it is that’s got me to this point

and then how to go deeper yeah but you

know we are powerful individuals in and

of ourselves and create our own destiny

and so that’s an important message raise

your standard not one drop of most

self-worth depends on your acceptance of

me

I don’t ever give up I’d have to be dead

or completely incapacitated hey believe

nation if you want to see my all-time

favorite top ten most a success I have a

very special secret video for you these

are the individual clips that I have

personally learned the most from and

applied to my life and my business check the link in description for details
