  Speaker 1: If you have discipline, you will attain freedom. Train, study, work, practice. Train, study, work, practice. Train, study, work, practice.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Standing there lost and not doing anything is just waiting
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to die, waiting to starve to death. Don't let that happen.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: ever wanted from you if you let them. When your
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: excuses make you feel a little bit better about the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: fact that you didn't execute on what you needed to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: execute on, then they can make you feel better. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: they're not helping you. If you want freedom in your life,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you have to have discipline. Start now. Go do something
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that's hard. Go try and accomplish something that's hard. You
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: may win. You may lose. You may succeed. You may fail.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, you'll be better. If you don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: accept that challenge, if you don't step up and step
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: into that cold water, this is not a good move.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. Just get up. Move
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is. Move towards that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: challenge and go attack it. You have to start moving forward.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You have to start taking steps in order to improve
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: your vision, improve your perspective, change your perspective, make some
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: kind of progress. And worst case scenario, you figure out
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that you walked the wrong direction. Okay, now you can
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: go walk in the other direction. What you learn to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: do is, okay, I'm going to go forward. I'm not
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: going to quit. So I'm going to go forward, bring
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it on. And I think if there's anything that you learn,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it's to keep pushing through things that suck. So if
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you lack the discipline to exercise and eat healthy, you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will end up being a slave to disease. If you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: lack the discipline to work hard, save your money, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: will end up a slave to finances. If you lack
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the discipline to manage your time correctly, you will end
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: up with no free time. If you have self-discipline, if
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you have the discipline to save your money and work
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: hard and invest your money properly, if you have the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: discipline to manage your time correctly and not waste a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: bunch of time, if you have the discipline to exercise
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and eat healthy, you will end up with freedom. You've
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: got to be aggressive to make things happen. I mean,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: if you're not aggressive with things, they don't happen, they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: don't move. So you're always learning and growing. And I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: was always learning until the day I retired. And people
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: can actually confront the fact that this is all because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of me. And this is, it hurts, but it's also
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: unbelievably empowering because if these problems are because of me,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: then I'm capable of fixing these problems. So even though
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: extreme ownership hurts and is painful, it's also liberating because
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: now you have control over your fate and over your destiny,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and that is a glorious thing. I'm not saying take
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: your emotions out of the calculus, but they have to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: be one component of your calculus, not the whole equation.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The equation has to include emotions, yes. Logic, yes. Future, yes. Goals, yes. Family, yes. Work, yes. Finances, yes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: All those things have to be in the calculus. Emotions
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: has to be a part of that calculus. You can't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: pull them out of there or they'll bite you. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you can't make them the overwhelming denominator of everything that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you do or it's going to be problematic. Extreme ownership
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is this went wrong, this failed, didn't accomplish this, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's not the fault of my boss, it's not the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: fault of my girlfriend, it's not the fault of my parents.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's not the fault of the weather. It's my fault.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to take ownership of it and I'm
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: going to fix it. That's what extreme ownership is. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this is a very difficult thing to do because it hurts.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Because when you look around at your life and you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: look around at your job and your financial situation and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: your relationship and your physical health, when you look at
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: all those things and all the problems that you may
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: have with those things, and you say, the reason I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have all those problems is Is it because of me?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: That can hurt. That can sting. And a lot of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: times our ego rejects that and makes excuses and lies.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And then we don't have to change anything. And then
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: nothing changes. So again, I would love to be able
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to give you this profound anchor that people need to have.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But it's like, do you want to do this or not?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: which is what I think a lot of it boils
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: down to. Do you actually want to do this or not?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Do you actually want to do this or not? Because
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: if you actually want to do it, what's going to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: stop you? Nothing. And if you don't really want to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: do it, what's going to stop you? Just about anything
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that comes up. Just about any obstacle that gets in
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: your way becomes an excuse. It becomes a reason. It
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: becomes a rationale for not proceeding down that path. If
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I want to have influence over you, What do I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: have to do? I actually have to allow you to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: influence me. How do I get you to trust me?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I have to put trust in you. One of the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: worst situations you can be in is when you think
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that the little moves that you're making, no one can
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: see them. And it's so obvious to everybody else. Everybody
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: else that's watching can see exactly what you're doing. You think, oh,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: they can't see the maneuvers that I'm making to take
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: care of myself. No, they see, everybody sees, and it
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: ends up destroying you. I have to open my mind
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: up and allow you to influence me. If I just
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: stick with my own ideas, you close your mind as well.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: If I have a closed mind, you're going to close
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: my mind. If I want you to care about me,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: what do I have to do? I have to care
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: about you. And by the way, in my opinion, these
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: are the components of a relationship. Yes, yes, definitely. If
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we listen to each other, we have... If we don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: listen to each other, we don't have a relationship. Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: If we don't respect each other, we don't have a relationship.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: If we're not influenced by each other, we don't have
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a relationship. So... If we don't care about each other,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: obviously we don't have a relationship. So when you want
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to build a relationship, what do you have to do?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You have to listen to the other person. By the way,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this applies to your employees. It applies to your kids.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It applies to your spouse. It applies to everyone. If
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you want them to listen to you, you have to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: listen to them. And you can't just, you know, I'll
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: stop talking as I prepare my counter for what you're
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: saying right now. It's like I'm literally going to listen
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to what you have to say. and try and open
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: up my mind and open up my perspective so that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I understand your world as well as I possibly can.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to integrate that into what my thoughts are,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and we're going to come to an understanding. We're going
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to move forward with a better solution. So the idea
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: of barking orders, the military, or any organization can be
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: run through authoritarian dictatorship. Look, you can make it work
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: for a little while, but it's not a long-term solution,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and that's what you've got to watch out for.
