  Speaker 1: Come on you. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You are listening to the voice, Oh, come on now,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: digny if you will. One and only, Steve Harvey got
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a radio show, you know, one of the things about
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: being successful. And I was sharing this just the other
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: day with a young man and he asked me. He said, hey, man,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how you get up that early
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: in the morning. I just don't see how, man, it
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: would kill me to get up this early in the morning. Well,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I sat there and I'm listening to it because it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: just a thousand times I've heard it, you know, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: my life is, you know, not too different from a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: lot of people's lives. There's a lot of people out
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: there that rise early. And I just sit there, man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: because I mean, first of all, I'm grateful to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: able to have a job. I'm so grateful to be
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: able to do one and several that I happened to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: enjoy doing. And I mean, you know, it's work and
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it's difficult at times, but I mean, you know I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: wanted this. You know you got it. You know, you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: can't ask God for nothing, any give it to you,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: then be mad that you got it. Don't make no sense.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know. The problem with asking God for stuff is
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of times we ask it for stuff we
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: don't really know what all it encompasses, what all it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: really is. And I ask for this. Now along the way,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I've gotten far more than I asked for. I want
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you to do. Understand that, and you know that's His
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: grace at work in my life. But I get up
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: early and I go to work because I do understand
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: something that it is not walking up to you. Nobody
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: walks up to people normally and just hand them checks
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: all the time, and enough checks to sustain your life,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: and not only sustain it, but to have a life
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that where you could enjoy and do some of the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: things you want to do. I don't know the person
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that walks out hands out that money just to be
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: doing it. And then with a lifestyle though where you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: can you know, give your kids a cariser, you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: take your family on vacation, you know, a year, once
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a year. I don't know nobody passing out to kind
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of money. So I get up early in the morning.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I get at it. I was taught to get up
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: early in the morning by my father because my father
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: says ain't nothing gonna come to you while you lay
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in there. And you know what, it's just true, man,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: it's just a little common sense. Little old people smart man.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They've been around a long time. You don't get you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: some old foods out there, but you know you don't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: have to deal with them. But old people are pretty smart, man.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They've learned a lot along the way. And waking up
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: early and getting out it is one of them things.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: And I ask everybody man to think about this scenario
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of your life. If a day has twenty four hours
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in it, and let's just say you choose to sleep
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: eight of those hours because they tell you you need
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: eight hours sleep, so you sleep eight hours. That's a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: third of your life asleep. Already, just a third of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: your life is spent asleep if you gonna do eight
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hours a day. Now, let's say you have a job
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that you work eight hours, and it is not the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: job of your dreams. It's not your dream career, your
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: dream profession. It's just the one you took, like all
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: of us, to get it started. And then, like all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of us, some of us end up having to state
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that because we've created these bills, because we checked and checked.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: So we can't leave it because we'll lose what we've
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: worked for. So let's just say you got a job
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that you go to work to for eight hours. That's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: another third of your life. That's two thirds of your life.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Feel how you want to feel about your two thirds? Well,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I like sleep. Okay, cool, there's a scripture about that too.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But now you spent two thirds of your life one
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: on a job you don't care for if you're not
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: happy that it, or one that just pays the bills
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and it's not your dream job or career. Another third
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the one hour of preparation that it
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: may take to get to the job. That's seventeen hours.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Let's say your drive time, let's say getting to your
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: job for the average person is anywhere between thirty to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: an hour. That's an average of what it takes to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: average person. Now some people are there hustling way harder
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: than that. But let's just say your average is an
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: hour getting to work. You add another hour to that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: going to work. You've now spent eighteen hours out of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the twenty four doing something that's either nonproductive, you're not
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: happy with, you're not pleased about. It is not your
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: dream job, it's not your dream profession. And rest of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the time you sleep eighteen hours. Now you got to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: come from the job, so let's just say it's another
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: hour to get back home. That's nineteen hours. Nineteen hours
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: out of a twenty four hour day. You now have
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: five hours left in your day. Oh you watch TV
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: two hours a day. Okay, excuse me. Let's put now
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you put two hours of TV on that you've just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: spent twenty one. You now have three hours in the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: day to do something super productive for the development of
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: yourself and the future of your family, and your future
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: as a person and what you can provide for your family.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Uh Oh, I need to chill. I need to smoke one.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Uh Oh, I needed some time at Happy. I'll seem
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: like all I do is dry to work and go
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to work. I'm gonna go out with the fellas drink one. Okay,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: let's say you spend two hours at Happy. Ill nobody
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: go to a Happy Hours just for a hour. Let's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: say you spend two hours at Happy, I'll all smokeing
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: all some video games. Let's throw that in there. Two
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hours of smoking, chilling video games. That's twenty three hours
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of your day gone. Don't you see how your day
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: slips away from you? So why would you get up early?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You get up early to get a jump. You get
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: up early to produce, to plan, to become productive. You
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: get up early in the morning to care about every
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: single minute of your day. You wake up early in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the morning because you have a plan, a mission, You
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: have something you want to accomplish. The earlier you get up,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the more time you have just for you to devote
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to your plan. You map it out, you make them,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: send some emails, whatever it is you need to do
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to get your dream on the way. Then you go
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: get ready. Then you get in your car and go
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to work. Then you go to your job, but on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: your job, instead of sitting at your lunch break messing
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: around with a bunch of people laughing and talking about nothing,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: playing dominoes, why don't you take that hour to do
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: some more research, to send out some more emails, to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: put some feelings out there, to see what can get
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you in the place that you want to be. Then
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: when you get off, instead of driving straight home, why
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: don't you go somewhere in a meeting you take in
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a session with some people in a positive mental state,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: group of people that get together network for business, not
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: drink at happy hour, I said, network for business. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: after you've done that eight that you don't really care
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for on a job, you spend some more time pursuing,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: looking into researching, working towards, sending out some more applications,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: putting in some more time to build your new app
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: discussing some more networking ideas. Okay, that's your happy hour.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Then when you go home, instead of chilling, drinking one,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: having a cold, one, smoking one, playing a video game,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: why don't you take that two hours and devote that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to that business idea. You got to that family that

  Speaker 1: you talk about, You really want spend some time with
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: your children, put something into them. Do something. Man, with
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all these precious hours that God gives all of us
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: in the course of a day, take advantage of every
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: minute of that. No human being has more than twenty
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: four hours a day, including myself. But if you care
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: about every single minute of that day, you'll be amazed
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: at how much you could get accomplished in a twenty
