• 0:13
  Speaker 1: digney if you will. One and only, Steve Harvey got
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a radio show, you know, one of the things about
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: being successful. And I was sharing this just the other
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: day with a young man and he asked me. He said, hey, man,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how you get up that early
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in the morning. I just don't see how, man, it
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: would kill me to get up this.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Early in the morning.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I sat down and I'm listening to it because
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it's just a thousand times I've heard it, you know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and my life is, you know, not too different from
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of people's lives.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people out there.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: That rise early, and I just sit there, man, because
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I'm grateful to be able
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: to have a job. I'm so grateful to be able
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to do one and several that I happen to enjoy doing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's work, and it's difficult at times,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: but I mean, you know I wanted this. You know
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you got it. You know you can't ask God for nothing,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: any give it to you then be mad that you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: got it. Don't make no sense.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You know. The problem with asking God for stuff is a.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Lot of times we ask it for stuff we don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: really know what all it encompasses, what all it really is.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And I ask for this. Now along the way, I've
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: gotten far more than I asked for. I want you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to do. Understand that, and you know that's His grace
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: at work in my life. But I get up early
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and I go to work because I do understand something
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that it is not walking up to you. Nobody walks
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: up to people normally and just hand them checks all
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the time, and enough checks to sustain your life, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not only sustain it, but to have a life that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: where you could enjoy and do some of the things
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you want to do. I don't know the person that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: walks out hands out that money just to be doing it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And then with a lifestyle though, well, you can you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: give your kids a Christmas, you know, take your family
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: on vacation, you know, a year once a year. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: don't know nobody passing out to kind of money. So
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I get up early in the morning and I get
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: at it. I was taught to get up early in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the morning by my father because my father says aint
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: nothing gonna come to you while you laying now. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know what, it's just true, man, it's just a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: little common sense. Little old people smart man. They've been
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: around a long time. You don't get you know, some
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: old foods out there, but you know you don't have
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to deal with them. But old people are pretty smart, man.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They've learned a lot along the way. And waking up
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: early and getting at it is one of them things.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And I ask everybody man to think about this scenario
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of your life. If a day has twenty four hours
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in it, and let's just say you choose to sleep
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: eight of those hours because they tell you you need
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: eight hours sleep, so you sleep eight hours. That's a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: third of your life asleep already, Just a third of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: your life is spent a sleep.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: If you gonna do eight hours a day.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Now, let's say you have a job that you work
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: eight hours and it is not the job of your dreams.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It's not your dream career, your dream profession. It's just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the one you took, like all of us, to get
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it started. And then, like all of us, some of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: us end up having to state at because we've created
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: these bills, because we checked and checked so we can't
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: leave it because we'll lose what we've worked for. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: let's just say you got a job that you go
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: to work to for eight hours. That's another third of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: your life. That's two thirds of your life. Feel how
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you want to feel about your two thirds? Well, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: like sleep. Okay, cool, there's a scripture about that too.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But now you spent two thirds of your life, one
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: on a job you don't care for if you're not
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: happy there, or one that just pays the bills and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it's not your dream job or career. Another third of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on. Let's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: talk about the one hour of preparation that it may
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: take to get to the job. That's seventeen hours. Let's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: say your drive time, let's say getting to your job
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: for the average person is anywhere between thirty to an hour.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That's an average of what it takes to average person. Now,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: some people out there hustling way harder than that. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: let's just say your average is an hour getting to work.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You add another hour to that going to work. You've
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: now spent eighteen hours out of the twenty four doing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: something that's either nonproductive, you're not happy with you're not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: pleased about. It is not your dream job, it's not
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: your dream profession. And rest of the time you sleep
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: eighteen hours. Now you got to come from the job,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: so let's just say it's another hour to get back home.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: That's nineteen hours. Nineteen hours out of a twenty four
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hour day. You now have five hours left in your day.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Oh you watch TV two hours a day. Okay, excuse me.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Let's put now you put two hours of TV on
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that you've just spent twenty one.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You now have three.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Hours in the day to do something super productive for
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the development of yourself and the future of your family,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and your future as a person and what you can
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: provide for your family. Uh Oh, I need to chill.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I need to smoke one. Uh Oh, I needed some
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: time at Happy. I'll seem like all I do is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: dry to work and go to work. I'm gonna go
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: out with the fellas drink one. Okay, let's say you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: spend two hours at Happy. I don't nobody go to

• 5:25
  Speaker 1: spend two hours at Happy, I'll all smoke in all
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: some video games. Let's throw that in there. Two hours
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of smoking, chilling video games. That's twenty three hours of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: your day gone. Don't you see how your day slips
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: away from you? So why would you get up early?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You get up early to get a jump. You get
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: up early to produce, to plan, to become productive. You
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: get up early in the morning to care about every
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: single minute of your day. You wake up early in
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the morning because you have a plan, a mission, You
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: have something you want to accomplish. The earlier you get up,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the more time you have just for you to devote
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to your plan. You map it out, you make them,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: send some emails, whatever it is you need to do
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to get your dream under way. Then you go get ready.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Then you get in your car and go to work.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Then you go to your job, but on your job,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: instead of sitting at your lunch break messing around with
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people laughing and talking about nothing, playing dominoes,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: why don't you take that hour to do some more research,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to send out some more emails, to put some feelings
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: out there, to see what can get you in the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: place that you want to be. Then when you get off,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: instead of driving straight home, why don't you go somewhere
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: in a meeting you take in a session with some
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: people in a positive mental state, group of people that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: get together network for business, not drink at happy hour.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I set network for business. So after you've done that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: eight that you don't really care for on a job,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you spend some more time pursuing, looking into researching, working
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: towards sending out some more applications, putting in some more
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: time to build your new app discussing some more networking ideas. Okay,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that's your happy hour. Then when you go home, instead
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of chilling, drinking one, having a cold one, smoking one,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: playing a video game, why don't you take that two
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: hours and devote that to that business idea. You got
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to that family that you talk about, You really want
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: spend some time with your children, put something into them.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Do something.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Man, when all these precious hours that God gives all
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of us in the course of a day, take advantage
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of every minute of that. No human being has more
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: than twenty four hours a day, including myself.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But if you care about every single.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Minute of that day, you'll be amazed at how much
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you could get accomplished in a twenty four hour day.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But you can't get none of that happening because you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: sleep and you chilling and you smoking. Okay, what has
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that done for you, your family, or your future? Care
