  Speaker 1: Everything in your life happens for a reason. Your responsibility
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is to look at these things in your life and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: ask this question.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Why now.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: You need activation energy to start the chain to start
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: to sit down, to start to get out of bed,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: to start to walk out the door.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: That's the key to creating any kind of change.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: This activation energy inside of you that causes the initial goom.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: And then what do we hear over time?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Once you start, there's a chain reaction and that allows
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: you to keep going.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: If you only have twenty four hours in a day,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: your success is depit of the paw how you use
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: the twenty.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Four You got to hear me.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: People talk about Oprah Winfrey, you know, Ted Turner, Warren Buffy.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Listen to me.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I don't care how much money you made to get
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: twenty four hours in a day, and a difference between
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Oprah and the person that's broke. If Oprah users are
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: twenty four hours, wisely, that's it. That's it to me,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: that's it. You'll get twenty four I don't care you broke,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: you grew up broke. I don't care if you grew
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: up rich. I don't care if you're in college. You're
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: not in college. You only get twenty four hours, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I blew up.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Literally, if you could have what you needed and wanted,
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: what would it be? What sort of friends would you have,
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: What would your family relationships look like? How would you
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: conduct yourself with your children? How would you educate yourself?
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: You need to think through how it is that your
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: life could be properly arranged if you had that ability,
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: and then you can aim at that. And the funny thing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Is is that if you do.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Posit a goal of that sort and work towards it,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: you will move towards it. The goal will change because
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: you'll learn things along the way. But I mean, I've
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: dealt with hundreds of people in my upon consulting practice,
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: and we set a goal, we develop a vision, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: work towards it, and things inevitably get better for me.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: So it's not a luxury. It's difficult, it's a moral responsibility,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: and it isn't happiness. It's not the pursuit isn't for happiness.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: There's always more room to grow, there's always more knowledge
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: to gain, always more skills to perfect. We're never done
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: with the education process because education is part of the
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: path to wealth. Education and learning is part of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: path to help. Continued education can turn you around if
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: you're headed in the wrong direction.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We need to open up our.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Minds to different alternative We need to learn to appreciate
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: the other side of the debate so that we can
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: strengthen our own and defend our own. We need to
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: expose ourselves to a wide range of thoughts and the
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: bilocophies ideology. Be eager to learn. Always be eager to learn,
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: no matter how far along you are in the journey,
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: no matter where you are in your success, keep that
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: eagerness to learn. Gather up as much knowledge as you can,
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: and then what debate it. Put it all on the
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: table and look at it, dissect it, turn it around
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: and stare at it. Ask questions, to make statements. Make
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: sure that what you finally do the model. You develop
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: a strong appreciation for your own style and your own
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: methods and your own process for achievement. Make sure that
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: what you finally do is a product of your own conclusion.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: That's what's valuable. Be a student, not a follower.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: When I was growing up, everybody's goal was get rich
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: enough ce and ever have to work. Now like all
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: my friends are fifteen eightyrteen years. My senior people like
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Steve Wynn most of Las Vegas, he's like seventy four.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Warm Buffet's eighty five. Peter Gruban, one of my dearest
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: friends in the world, owns the Golden State Warriors. The
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: La Dodgers where partners in the LAFC football team in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: La Brilliant guys seventy four years old and they're all
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: working harder now than they ever were, and they don't
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: have to work. So the goal is make enough money. See,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you don't have to work, and then you'll do what
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you love and you'll pour your time and energy into it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: But you have to make that decision. It's the first
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: most important decision, is I'm going to become an owner
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of American business. You don't want to have an Apple
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: phone and not own Apple. And you don't want to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: just own Apple because any company can go up and down.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You want to own the index. You want to own
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a variety with enough diversification. But if you can just shift,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and I've taught people who told me they couldn't have
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: no money, they can't save, it's really easy. Once you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: get momentum.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Company with hundreds and hundreds of team members, multiple profit
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: centers within the company. Every one of those folks has
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a plan for the revenue they're going to produce in
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: this month, this quarter, in this year, and the expenses
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: they're going to spend to do that in this month,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: this quarter, in this year. Thereby we you do annual projections.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: It's really not rocket science. It's sixth grade math. What
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: are you going to do with your money? Don't get
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to the end of the month and go where to go?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Because you end up being a rat and a wheel
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and you work your whole life, run run, run, run
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and run, run, run and run, and you get to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the end of your life and there's nothing. And you
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: earned four to ten million dollars in your working lifetime
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and you have nothing because you didn't.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Write it down.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's a serious principle. You got to get out of
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: that and stay out of that. Now everybody knows. Dave
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Ramsey's going to say that. Everybody knows. I'm gonna say
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Proverbs twenty two to seven. The borrower is slave to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the lender. When you don't have any payments, you know
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: what you got money? That was hard? Are we through yet?
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: You're getting this? It's not deep, but I wanna. Yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that's the problem. I wanna. I need nothing, but I
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: want a lot of stuff. There's nothing wrong with getting
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: you some nice stuff. But the problem is when your
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: stuff gets you. When you got a student loan that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: been around so long you think it's a pet. When
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Master Card is your master, when you have discovered bondage
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: or American distress, well you can't live without debt. That's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: what my finance professor said too, and he was broke.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: What's wrong with that picture? A broke finance professor. Broke
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: finance professors like a shop teacher with missing fingers, have
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: kind of a doctor phil moment with some of these people.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: How's that working for you? Because all these people are
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: runn around, these quote unquote experts, and all of them
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: that taught me. I was in the real estate business.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: We used OPM of the people's money. We were taught
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: leverage and all the sophisticated views of leverage and all
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: this stuff. And I can unpack it for you, and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I can pencil whip you. I'm a math nerd eye
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It's what I do. But at the end of the day,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: there's nowhere in scripture God us debt to bless his people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: It's not Eve there one time. As a matter of fact,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: there's not even one positive thing said about it. It's
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: not a salvation issue, it's not a sin, it's not
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: any of those things. Biblically speaking, it's just stupid. Never
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: once did God. You know where the Israelites hemmed into
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the battle by the Amalekites. So they did a bond
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: is shoe. You gotta know the word, study the.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Word, because God will show you.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Because he loves you, He's got a plan for you.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: The third one, the first one is you gotta do
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a budget. Second one is you got to get out
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: of debt because we don't have any payments. You got money.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: The third one is quality relationships. Now this is kind
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: of weird, but think about it. Marriage is grand, divorce
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: is fifty grand. Dysfunction in the family costs you money,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: straight up. Crazy parents, drunk brothers. If you let them
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: come into your boundaries and interfere in God's stewardship of
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: your household, their dysfunction will cause you to be broke
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: because you join in the dysfunction. And we all got it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Anybody doesn't have crazy in their family, just hadn't been
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: awake lately. Everybody's got crazy somewhere in the family. Some
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: of it's behind the closet door, some of it's behind
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: over the hill, some of it's around the corner at
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: the still you don't know where it is. But crazy
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: is in your family. And I'm no exception. I'm from Hills, East, Tennessee.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: When we do crazy, we do it big, so you
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: dysfunction and your personal dysfunction. We sadly get to work
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: with the effects of all the dysfunction because we do
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: financial counseling and coaching and so we've worked for twenty
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: five years now with addicts. And I guess got to
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: tell you that if you're addicted to something, whatever it is, gambling, pornography,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: those are the two big ones right now. I'm huge,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: believably huge, And you know, certainly the old standbys drugs
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: and alcohol and that kind of stuff. But people that
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: are addicted, one hundred percent of them are eventually broke,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: and people who stay with them are all one hundred
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: percent eventually broke until the addiction changes and Jesus heals it.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: That's an extreme example of quality relationships.
