A new level of your life demands a new version
0:03
of you, a different version of you. This here,
0:09
the price of admission. Get into the room with
0:14
the heavy hitters and sharks. Most people assume
0:18
it's about money. It's sacrifice. You have to
0:24
get uncomfortable to get comfortable. Get out
0:30
of the comfort zone. Get rid of those bad habits.
0:33
So, it's time to move on. I am Sir Don. This
0:41
is Mildest Shenanigans. This is the Price of
0:44
Admission. Welcome to Mildest Shenanigans. Where
0:47
the takes are hot, the jokes are wild, and nothing
0:50
is off limits. Quick disclaimer. Everything you
0:54
hear is strictly opinion, personal perspective.
0:58
or just flat out nonsense we do not condone violence
1:02
or violence behavior don't come for us this is
1:05
for entertainment purposes only not facts not
1:09
legal advice and definitely not safe for any
1:12
sensitive ears so buckle up and let the shenanigans
1:15
begin everything isn't free so actually so do
1:22
you think you're going to be able to level up
1:24
and still carry that Do you think you'll be able
1:29
to get better and still be able to not heal?
1:33
Change your way of thinking. Have a longer pause
1:36
in order to build what you want to get. It's
1:41
not going to work. You got to heal, grow to build
1:46
the empire. The same environment will keep you
1:50
stuck. Right in the mud. Yeah, we can get it
1:54
out of there. And that's not where we want to
1:57
stay. For example, the people around you, you
2:02
be loyal to them. Are they holding you back?
2:07
Are they striving you to be better? When you
2:10
talk about the things that money talk to get
2:14
everybody better, put everybody on, what's everybody's
2:18
reaction? What are they doing? You don't want
2:25
to be stuck in the same place because you're
2:28
just comfortable, right? That's easier said than
2:32
done. Just like getting out of bed before you
2:36
go to work and start your day. Whether it be
2:39
raining, it's cold, you're just comfortable,
2:42
warmed up. If you don't get up out that bed,
2:46
nothing's going to get done. It's going to delay
2:49
everything that's set in front of you. So you
2:53
got to start the day right, which means all your
2:56
habits, the way you're thinking, your perspective,
3:00
all have to change in order to level up. What
3:05
are you willing to sacrifice? Because every day
3:09
you're paying that tax. Delaying your greatness.
3:15
Delaying being great. Being the best version
3:19
of yourself. Do you see that every day? The price
3:26
of a mission isn't just going to come out of
3:28
your pocket. Your time, your attention, your
3:33
habits, your circle all have to change in the
3:39
line with what you want to do. Otherwise, get
3:54
it out the way. You got to cut it loose. Because
3:58
if you're intentional about what you're going
4:00
to do, you're going to adapt. You're going to
4:03
plan. You're going to recognize. A lot of us
4:08
don't change what we do. We change in how we're
4:14
doing it, too. Getting up at six, now you're
4:20
getting up at five. you're eating more consistently
4:25
taking your time before you start today to relax
4:29
taking that time that first 15 possibly or just
4:35
relax don't pick up that phone that's no different
4:41
than when you start a new job it's uncomfortable
4:45
at first it's scary for some people you might
4:48
be ready to leave that new job but to do something
4:51
new and to get what you want Whether it be your
4:54
paycheck, a transition, a new career, you have
5:00
to get uncomfortable and learn what's going on
5:03
and adapt to the environment to succeed. That's
5:10
intentional. So you need to intentionally get
5:17
the chaos, the distraction, the drama all out
5:19
the way. Be intentional, not violent. Because
5:29
just like when you're wounded or you have a surgery,
5:33
you go through the physical therapy after the
5:38
surgery or repair to either get back to where
5:41
you were and enhance to where you were at before.
5:47
But you have to adapt, go through that pain,
5:50
go through that struggle, and fight. So you got
5:55
to have a nice environment to mold you. No different
5:59
than how the old saying, you take a village.
6:05
Because, yeah, some of them are something y 'all
6:08
are doing by yourself. But that support system,
6:12
no matter when it comes, no matter how big or
6:14
small, it's impactful to the overall world. So
6:21
in order to get better, Let's make a stop and
6:24
pause on all the BS. It's going to take the hour
6:32
by hour, the day by day. Otherwise, you're just
6:37
going to be stuck. With your environment, obviously,
6:43
you need to move out of your current one. Job
6:46
is stressing you out. Where you live in that
6:49
ain't safe. The city. Well, you have to be intentional
6:54
about moving about your environment to level
6:56
up because of your current environment. It's
6:59
what's holding you back. It's making you struggle.
7:04
And something can be right where you got to move.
7:08
You got to move the distractions. You got to
7:10
move the chaos. Right. So one of the things that
7:14
start by something small. Right. Where you're
7:18
at. Look around you. Does what you see reflect
7:27
where you want to become? Ask yourself that.
7:34
Look around. See what you see. Is that where
7:38
you want to be? Is that putting you on a path
7:41
to what you want to become? What is the intent
7:44
or purpose of being the room that you're in?
7:48
Ask yourself that. Right? On your phone, what
7:55
you're consuming, does it feed the ambition or
7:59
numb you? Because if you numb your mind, you're
8:04
slowing down the progress. You're not being proactive
8:08
nor intentional. Mindless, right? Or what some
8:15
people say is brain rot. That's cool. On the
8:20
weekend, you're chilling. things like that when
8:22
you got time to just burn how much time do you
8:25
have to burn what is your attention is on when
8:30
you are relaxing right is it putting your feet
8:34
up relaxing your body mentally are you going
8:36
right to your phone because you want to pick
8:38
up and see what's going on and that's cool but
8:41
then what is that in taking and doing to you
8:43
are you gonna get overstimulated are you gonna
8:46
get triggered what does that look like But the
8:51
intention is with building the empire, building
8:57
your brand, building your business, whether that
9:01
be education wise, right? Or something for your
9:06
family. Everybody have different lanes and different
9:09
avenues. So that means, yes, everybody's going
9:12
to different speed. Just make sure you're in
9:16
your lane. Don't crash. And make sure you know
9:20
where you're at. And make sure that's where you're
9:24
going to what you want to become. Because if
9:30
you stay where you're at, most people might not
9:32
think it costs you nothing. Right? Because if
9:36
it was, you wouldn't make sure you got a discount
9:39
or got something else to buy. Right? Because
9:48
We pay for the price to go in the club or the
9:53
bar somewhere. Half of us just, some of y 'all
9:56
just standing around maybe on your phone looking
9:58
at the stories of the other people in the same
10:01
room. So you watching yourself watch each other.
10:09
That's crazy. So like, let's make sure that You
10:18
got the right intentions, right? So it's going
10:22
to cost you a lot more than what you might be
10:26
willing to pay for. You have to be able to weigh
10:31
that. It's a big risk. The cost, you might not
10:38
see up front. Some of you have balloon payments
10:41
on things. You got a loan or something, you know
10:43
what that's about. Some of y 'all, you got bad
10:45
rates. But you're going to pay, and it's going
10:49
to come. If you don't pay the price of a mission
10:54
to level up, it's going to cost you all the discipline,
10:58
risk, and the temporary comfort that you have
11:00
now. Because you're going to be comfortable today,
11:03
tomorrow, next week, next month, and the month
11:09
after that. As you get closer to that, you're
11:11
going to feel that pressure. You're going to
11:13
feel that weight. Because most people say, oh,
11:17
they're using social media to flex on people
11:19
and they try to level up because of that. But
11:22
do you know if that's what they're showing you,
11:24
think about what they aren't showing you, those
11:26
long nights, sleepless nights, that hard work.
11:32
So I get it. Right. But don't mix it up with
11:37
envy and jealousy. Right. But understanding the
11:41
room that they're in, the work that's being put
11:43
in. The sacrifice, the discipline. You're going
11:49
to pay the regret tax every day. It's going to
11:55
be people with half the talent pass you by just
11:57
because they're going to pay the price of a mission
12:01
that you refuse to pay. Put in the work. Right?
12:10
Hard work is going to out beat talent every day.
12:14
Period. Skill and stuff only last so long. What
12:21
are you doing every day to build in the muscle
12:23
memory? Right. The discipline, the habits. Right.
12:29
No different than the athletes that put in the
12:31
hard work every day. They got to set time to
12:33
go to the gym. They got their workouts. They
12:36
got their time. Every day they got to master
12:39
their craft. Kevin Durant said it. Every day,
12:46
you got to try to be better than that. Mastering
12:50
my craft, getting better. Are you getting better
12:53
every day? One hour at a time? You have to be
13:00
willing to pay the price. If you're going to
13:06
stay in your comfort zone, you might as well
13:10
anticipate or Feel like or look up what it's
13:15
like to drink some poison. Because that's what
13:18
it's like. You're going to drown slowly. Just
13:23
by being comfortable every day. Having a regret.
13:27
Knowing what you should have done yesterday.
13:29
Not taking advantage. Not maximizing your time.
13:33
Right? Or not choosing to pay the price. To get
13:37
into the next room. Or walk through the door.
13:40
That's a choice. To suffocate yourself in the
13:44
room that you're in now. Some people might walk
13:50
in there with you and walk right through the
13:52
next door. Some people might come in there and
13:54
be with you for a minute and realize they got
13:58
to go. So, yes, it is your life. You got to handle
14:03
it and carry it all the way. But if you want
14:07
to go into the next room, if you want to level
14:09
up. You got to be willing to sacrifice all that.
14:13
It comes with pain. The pain of the transaction.
14:20
Is it worth it? That's what you got to decide.
14:24
Because what's worth it to you might not be worth
14:28
it to them. Those $200 sneakers ain't valuable
14:32
to James, right, as it is to you. So that $200,
14:41
save, put it into something else, right? So don't
14:47
do it like that. Just make sure that you're willing
14:51
to break it down. It costs to be the boss. You
15:02
need to make sure you're ready to pay it. The
15:05
pain of the transaction. Is it worth it? Because
15:09
leveling up is going to hurt. Growing pains,
15:13
right? You're going to feel different. You shouldn't
15:20
feel like who you were. Like an imposter syndrome.
15:25
Because that's what you're going to look back
15:27
and say, that's what that was. Not who you're
15:30
becoming. You might lose some sleep. You might
15:35
outgrow some people. Especially some people that
15:38
you love. But you got to be able to carry that
15:44
weight because you're going to pay it one way
15:48
or another. Depends on what you value, the temporary
15:53
pain or the growth or the permanent ache of wandering.
15:58
If you took that risk, if you took that chance,
16:04
you have to be calculated. So they have to be
16:09
intentional. It's not a coincidence that sometimes
16:18
when the people around those, the person was
16:23
leveled up, I always say they have changed. They're
16:27
doing things different now. Make sure you move
16:34
with intentions because you don't want to get
16:36
caught red -handed. So, if you don't want the
16:44
sirens coming after you, make sure you level
16:47
up. Because the pressure definitely going to
16:51
be there. And them boys, they chasing you. You
17:01
going to be ready to run? You going to stand
17:04
there? You going to level up? What do you value?
17:11
Because you're going to suffer one way or another,
17:14
whether that be the pain of your discipline or
17:20
the pain of regret. The difference is that discipline
17:30
actually buys you something at the end of the
17:33
day. As you see. The city on fire. Sirens all
17:46
day long. You can't hide it. You can't avoid
17:51
it. The chaos is there. What are you going to
17:57
do to it? Just because it's hot don't mean it
18:01
should be more chaos. But that's what people
18:03
say, right? Just like how everybody might be
18:08
outside. Down there Y 'all down there open the
18:13
day and you watch the game. What was your intentions?
18:17
again, I mean But that's just some other shit
18:23
Point going back to the pain of the transaction.
18:28
Is it worth it? Yes, it's gonna have to be Get
18:40
what you want. You better work hard for it, though.
18:44
You're going to sacrifice and lose a lot. Every
18:48
day, all that work that you put in, don't let
18:51
it be lost for nothing because of one bad day,
18:54
one emotional reaction, one overthought. Just
19:02
because somebody might have disagreed with you
19:04
or something like that. Doesn't necessarily mean
19:10
you're supposed to veer off. You maybe slow down
19:14
and pause, but you just don't stop entirely.
19:19
You adapt and plan and keep going. But you're
19:24
going to have to make an adjustment to level
19:27
up. Because your circle is what's going to impact
19:36
that growth, right? or hinder it right how many
19:41
of us have been around people are you doing things
19:45
just because you felt lower to you loyal to them
19:48
subconsciously right you're doing things for
19:56
everybody else when are you going to start doing
20:00
it for you maybe not care about how people react
20:05
You might care about their feelings, but you
20:08
can't probably care about how they react to it.
20:13
The circle effect is real. Why everybody around
20:17
you matters. Everybody want to sit at the table.
20:27
Everybody. Just like when you got a party or
20:30
something like that, everybody want to go out
20:32
to dinner. That's cool, and that's all. It's
20:35
all well and fun. How many times have y 'all
20:40
seen people want to pick up the tab? It costs
20:44
to be the boss. Nobody want to pick up the tab.
20:52
But the bosses do. Right? You got to pay something.
21:05
There's nothing free. Just because it's not monetary,
21:08
don't mean you're not giving something up. Are
21:13
you aware of what you're giving up? To get where
21:17
you want to be right now? Or to get what you
21:19
want? Look at your dynamics with the people around
21:24
you. What are you getting? What are you giving
21:30
up to get it? What have you sacrificed to get
21:37
close to get there? You cannot maintain the high
21:47
-level mindset in a low -level environment. You
21:53
cannot in a class. Your willpower is infinite,
22:00
however much you want to get into it. How much
22:04
you put into, how much willpower you're going
22:07
to get. Your proximity, your circle, that's what's
22:15
solidified. That's what's tight. That's not something
22:21
you want to flex up and down. And then that's
22:24
going to look at you and your intentions. Your
22:32
environment, where you're from. Make sure who
22:38
you are. It might have a part of who you are,
22:43
but it doesn't represent who you could become
22:45
or everything you stand for. You need to figure
22:52
out who you are with. That's more important.
22:58
Some of you. reference other people as more family
23:02
than others because of what you went through,
23:04
the circle, the dynamic, the impact of what you're
23:08
doing. Right? It's who you're with. It's who
23:15
you're with also affects, again, the energy around
23:18
you. Right? Because every time you want to do
23:23
something and somebody shoot it down or they
23:24
ain't with it, it's because they ain't on your
23:25
type time or because they don't understand what
23:28
you want to do. So you need to be around the
23:35
energy that channels directly into what you want
23:39
to do. Bringing you life. The good and the bad
23:45
too. It's going to be there. That comes with
23:48
the sacrifice. If the people around you are glowing
23:58
up, right? Don't you think you're going to catch
24:02
some of that energy too? It's going to inspire
24:04
you. But if all is given off is drama and a scare
24:11
and all this nonsense and shenanigans, that feed
24:17
into you and what you're trying to do, whether
24:20
you realize it or not. It's still okay to have
24:26
or be around people who don't have the same.
24:28
always interested in you or the people who might
24:30
not be on the same level in you. I'm not saying
24:32
dismiss them completely, but you're going to
24:35
have to make a sacrifice in some of the things
24:37
you do. Because you're going to have to carry
24:45
that weight. You start getting into a higher
24:48
circle, right? The things of you, the expectations
24:54
change. Just for example, you might have some
25:02
friends that make less than six figures. Your
25:06
friends that make six figures is maybe the starting
25:09
point or the low bottom, right? The way they
25:12
look at it, it's a difference. It's your circles
25:19
and expectations, right? Now, you can say all
25:23
the material things. Right. So if you're dealing
25:25
with a lower circle, they might not be talking
25:28
about their future endeavors and investments.
25:32
I mean, they don't have any, but they're discussing
25:34
them to bring everybody up and level them up
25:36
to put everybody on. Right. Because the difference
25:45
is when you start getting into a higher level
25:48
or the next level. with a higher circle, you
25:53
can no longer expect to be one of the smartest
25:57
people in the room or one of the most successful
25:59
people in the room, right? Because then at that
26:02
point, everybody is on that same level and was
26:08
there before you got there, right? Regardless
26:11
of the path, now that you're in a different room,
26:15
expectations are different, right? no different
26:20
than the promotion you might have to dress different
26:22
talk different react different you became a parent
26:30
it ain't just about you anymore you got to think
26:32
about somebody else first making sure somebody
26:36
else got clothing food and water right so you
26:43
got to make sure that you understand that Can
26:49
you handle the weight? Can you handle the pressure?
26:53
Being around people who demand more from you
26:56
and won't settle. That's what it's like being
27:02
in the higher circle. Not letting you what they
27:07
call fail. You're going to have a lesson learned.
27:10
Tell me you failed. It just didn't work that
27:13
way. So we're going to adjust. plan adapt and
27:19
execute that's intentional your circle is going
27:29
to make sure the bottom line is different than
27:33
what it was from your last circle because you're
27:36
going to change and get rid of those old habits
27:42
right because like i just mentioned making six
27:47
figures Might have been the cool for the old
27:49
circle. New circle, everybody might start off
27:51
at six figures based on our ambition, based on
27:54
what they're trying to do. Just because your
27:56
old circle is not making six figures, don't mean
27:59
they can't make six figures or more, millions,
28:03
billions. What are they trying to? Because over
28:08
here, that room over there, six figures is just
28:12
a warm up. You're just getting started. You're
28:16
not even in the game yet. You're on the bench,
28:22
right? It might normalize the success you're
28:27
currently stressing over because that's what
28:29
come with it compared to somebody else who's
28:32
not having experience that are on that same path.
28:35
The leveling up might minimize it because of
28:40
the experience and growth and path they might
28:41
look at that. Not saying they don't care about
28:43
what you're going through. But can they relate
28:46
to that? Can you talk to them about that? Right.
28:49
Can you get feedback and can that help you understand
28:52
the level up? Right. There is some people who
28:55
not on your path who will give you great guidance
28:58
to things and insights that you haven't seen
29:01
yet. They might help you along your journey.
29:07
Two things are always true. The difference which
29:15
are your people who's considered the high -end
29:20
circle, right, compared to the low -level circle
29:24
is like getting called out. How many people are
29:28
going to call you out about your bullshit? When
29:33
you know you on bullshit, how many people around
29:35
you going to let you go and do it and call you
29:38
out, right, compared to some people just going
29:42
to agree with you? Let you be your bullshit.
29:47
Let you fuck up your own shit, right? Because
29:51
in a sense, that may even validate their own
29:55
laziness. Higher circle, right? You can call
30:06
you out. Not going to let you play small. You
30:19
can't get away with that. Right. So now it's
30:25
time to get a new blueprint where you transfer
30:28
it over to a bigger circle. You don't have to,
30:32
the old term saying, you don't have to reinvent
30:34
the wheel. You don't have to do anything new.
30:38
You put your name on something, put your sauce
30:41
on it. Yeah, not stealing, not copying. Because
30:45
that's what some of y 'all out here are doing.
30:47
Big, big, big, big difference. Big difference
30:56
between copying and reinventing the wheel. Because
31:00
when you're sitting at the table with people
31:01
who've already went through the things that you
31:04
went through, the stress, the long nights, right,
31:07
the sacrifice, right, sleepless, hungry, tired,
31:12
right? The people who already survived those
31:17
mistakes, those are the people you need to be
31:20
around because that's what they're going to help
31:23
you and get you through there. Not the people
31:26
who are not saying they can't help you, but you
31:29
got to get all the way to the finish line. And
31:32
somebody who's crossed it or right there can
31:37
definitely pull you and help you through or push
31:39
you. We all need a little push. We all need a
31:47
little push. Because you're going to make mistakes.
31:52
They're going to come. But you need to be around
31:55
people who can help you when you're approaching
31:58
that. When you see that. Right? It's unfair.
32:06
You got to get through it and adapt. So. One
32:14
thing you have to do is now start changing your
32:18
habits immediately. You went in a circle. So
32:23
everything that you just did and went through
32:25
the days we talked about the last time, you got
32:28
to get rid of just going through the motions.
32:31
Get rid of the autopilot. Right. Obviously, if
32:38
you keep doing the same thing. Every day, all
32:42
day, you're not going to kill it or end the machine
32:45
or turn it off. You're just going to fuel it.
32:49
It's going to keep running. It's going to keep
32:51
running. It's going to keep running. You're the
32:55
pilot. Take control. What you feed it is what
33:05
you're going to give out. So if you're going
33:08
through the motions, that's what's going to happen.
33:10
Right? You got to get rid of the old habits that
33:14
you've been doing that's routinely there. So
33:20
you can't just be reacting. You might have to
33:23
pause. The first time you might be around a new
33:26
group of people and you do some old habits, they
33:29
might not take that kindly. They might not take
33:32
that the right way. They might respond differently.
33:37
Right? I got your new job. What you got away
33:42
with, you're not going to be able to get away
33:43
with that here. We ain't going for none of that.
33:50
Right? So stop falling off. Stop drifting. Right?
33:56
Break the glass and all that. Break the glass.
34:03
So start replacing your routine. Doing things
34:07
differently. being intentional about it right
34:10
because when you do uh start breaking habits
34:16
it'll definitely uh leave a void there that you
34:21
need to replace right so what does that look
34:24
like you gotta stop the miles games you gotta
34:34
get rid of the shenanigans You need to start
34:38
moving right with your intentions. Because if
34:44
you don't, you're going to pay that price. In
34:50
order to get into the next room where we're going
34:51
to go, it's going to cost. Ain't nothing for
34:57
you. Because when you see me level up, You'll
35:06
know why. You'll know how. I've been going over
35:12
with you. Don't miss it. It'll go right past
35:19
you. Autopilot. Not going to drift. Not going
35:29
to fall. I'm going to take control. It's switching
35:36
things up. And that should look different. That
35:41
should feel different. And that's on purpose
35:47
too. But it also gonna come with a cost. As it
35:54
should. I'm willing to pay it. Are you? I am
