  Speaker 1: People go through life many times playing it safe. That's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the secret hope that they say to themselves. If I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never let myself feel too good, maybe I'll never get.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Hurt too badly.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of people don't ever do the things they're
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: capable of doing because they allow themselves to go alone
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with the crowd. Following the crowd, many people have things
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: they want to do, and they find themselves in relationships
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: with people who are addicted to mediocrity, and they allow
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: their behavior to influence their behavior. Say birds of a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: feather flock together. You run around with losers, you will
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: end up loser unconsciously. Unconsciously, you will pick up their wage,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you will pick up their habits, you'll pick up, most importantly,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: their attitude about life. If you around cynical, negative people
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all the time, you will become cynical and negative.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: You don't need to be a part of a crowd
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: to know who you are inside, because everything that everybody
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: else is doing doesn't necessarily mean that it's good for you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: You don't need to be.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Like everybody else, but you need to be the best
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: of yourself, be able to feel good about who you are,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: what you are, and what you are ultimately made of because.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Without that, how far are you willing to go?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Don't sacrifice yourself to please others.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: It's not easy going get alone, but if you keep going,
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: stay true to yourself, it will be worth it in
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: the end. The hardest walk you can make is the
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: walk you make alone. But that is the walk that
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: makes you the strongest. That is the walk that builds you.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: They're character the most.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: No matter how painful it is, I gotta keep going,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and I gotta keep going because what is my passion?
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: What is my focus?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: You're focusing your passion will numb you.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: To fail, you into pain of striving to get to
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: where you're trying to go.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't accept that I am what I am.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: And that that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Is what I'm doomed to be.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: No, I don't accept that I'm mighty.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: As you begin to look toward the future and take
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: inventory of yourself, what is it about you right now
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that you've got to leave this behind because this no
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: longer fits. Looking at where you want to go and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the kind of person that you must become, the kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of standards that you have for you, what is it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that you must do differently if you want to keep
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: on getting what you're getting, keep on doing what you're doing.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: If you don't keep gathering information, your confidence will start
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to wigan, they start to lose it. You've got to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: keep gathering information. You want your confidence to get stronger
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and stronger and stronger. And if you don't keep studying,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: your confidence will start to slip. Like with the knowledge
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I've got, I could coast to the end of my life,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: earning all kinds of money and having a pretty good time.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: But I know I won't go beyond where I'm at,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and I'll start slipping back. Got to keep studying. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: got up at three o'clock this morning, but I went
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to bed early, too, and I was studying for a
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: couple of hours. I get up early in the morning
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and I study every morning because I want to get
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: better at what I'm doing, and I know I can
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: get better. I know that I'm nowhere near as effective as.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: I can be.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: We've got to get this right in our mind, this
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: idea of lack of confidence, it's it's it's something that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: anybody can change. I remember when I first started to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: study this. We're so afraid of what other people might
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: think of us. It's so silly I only went to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: high school, as I said, for two months, so I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: had a vocabulary that you could stick in a thimble.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was just there was not much to it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And if you were talking, you said something and you
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: used a word I didn't understand. I would never say
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I don't understand what you're saying. But I didn't understand. So,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was lost in the conversation really fast.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But I was afraid to say I don't understand that word.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And I started to study Earl's material, and Earl talked
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: about how important vocabulary is. In fact, he made a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: recording on it, and I started to study words. Now,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: if you use a word that I don't understand, I'll
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I'll say what the stuff I do, I don't understand
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: what that word means. I'll ask you right there, because
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I know if I don't get that cleared up, everything
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you're safe from there on. But all you're pretty good,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna understand it. You get lost in the conversation.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't I tell you I didn't understand it because
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I was afraid of what you thought of me.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: If I you got to worry about what other people
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: think about you, if you knew how little they did
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: think about you, wouldn't be so concerned what they are thinking.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Terry Whittaker wrote a book the title of it, what
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: you think of me is none of my business, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: it isn't What other people think of you as none
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: of your business.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Quite worried about what they think.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I hope you like me, but if you don't.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You got a problem.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Because I like me. I don't give a damn wheen
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you like me or not. I really don't. I hope
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you're doing you should. I'm a nice guy. But if
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you don't, you're not going to bother me. Now. For
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: many years that would have driven me crazy. Not anymore,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: not a bit. This confidence concept is pretty big, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the more you study this material that we're giving you,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the more confident you're going to become.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: So the first thing that people who are incredibly successful
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: do is they do what they hate. They are fully
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: prepared to do what they hate to get to where
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: they want to be. And people who fail, they will
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: give up their dream before they do what they hate
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: to do. And people who are very successful, they never
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: ever ever wait for motivation. They do it because when
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: you do it, you become motivated. A great writer won't go, well,
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I just wait till I'm really motivated and start writing
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: this book. No, they get up at four in the morning,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: they don't want to and they are to write, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: then of course they've become motivated. You wake up in
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: the morning, you go, you're not going to go, yay,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: it's five am. I'm putting on my running shoes and
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: going for a walk up Laurel Canyon. Of course you're
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: not going to do that. You're going to wake up
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and go, God, I really hate working out. But Marissa said,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: successful people do what they hate to get to where
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: they want to be, because, of course, the wonderful thing
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: is that when you do what you hate first enough times,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: it starts to become natural. Like I've got to do
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: my taxes, I'll do that first thing. I've got to
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: confront someone, I'll do it first. And so I still
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: to this day wake up and think, oh, I don't
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: really want to do that, So I'm going to do
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: it first, because what I do want is to belong
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: to that group of very very successful people. So I
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: know what the membership is and the reason I don't
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: want to do something I think I don't want to
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: do it, but what I do want is to belong
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: to that group. So I'm doing it first. And it's
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: a great way of thinking because it starts to move
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: around wanting to do it for all the right reasons.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Many many years ago, I met someone who wanted to
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: be a rock star. That was his ambition. Actually, particularly
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: wanted to be a drummer. And he was a very
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: young married man with two children to support, and he
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: was going for a lot of auditions, and of course
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: all the auditions take place during the day, and every
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: time he had a job, they wouldn't let him take
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: time off. So he decided he would have to work
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: nights in order to audition during the day. And the
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: only job he could get was a job he hated.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: He was a taxi driver and he hated it, but
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: he did it. But he just wasn't making enough money.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: So he thought, Okay, I'll have to work in McDonald's.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I get more money, I can work nights. I'm free
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: to audition. And about a month before he'd applied to
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: work in McDonald's, he'd been for an audition to be
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: a drama in a band. He didn't even know who
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: The band was, and the day he was due to
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: start working McDonald's, which he absolutely hated even the thought of,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: he got a call to go. You know that band
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: audition for it was actually Simple Minds and now you're
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: the drummer in Simple mind So he never worked in
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: McDonald's or drove a cab again for the rest of
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: his life. But when he tell people that story, they'd
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: all go, oh, I would never work in McDonald's. Oh
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: my god, I'd never degrade myself by driving a cab
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: around London. And I'm like, don't you think you're missing
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the point. His ability to do what he hated is
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: what made him a rock star, because he had to
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: have his days free to rehearse and audition. But if
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: he had your mindset, I'd never do that. He would
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: never be a multi millionaire rock star. It was because
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: he was fully prepared to do what he hated, to
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: swallow his pride to keep his vision in mind. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: want to be a rock star, I must be free
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: for auditions. How can I do that? Well, I have
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: to work as a cab driver and in a fast
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: food restaurant, which I hate. But I'm going to do
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: it because it's going to take me to my goal.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And it did. But the people who laughed him and
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: said by wouldn't do that. None of them are rock star.
