- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you ten seconds to get up and
- 0:03Speaker 1: get out of bed. One two, three, four, five, six,
- 0:14Speaker 1: seven eight nine. If you're up and you're now ready
- 0:30Speaker 1: to get after it, you can go ahead and shut
- 0:32Speaker 1: this off.
- 0:32Speaker 2: You won.
- 0:35Speaker 1: If you are still actually lying in bed, then I
- 0:40Speaker 1: can't stop right now. You have to keep listening. I
- 0:44Speaker 1: need to tell you about the mistake that you are making.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Every morning we have a battle. We have to beat
- 0:51Speaker 2: the alarm clock or you've got to get up and
- 0:55Speaker 2: actually do something.
- 0:58Speaker 1: You will feel weak. You're gonna feel like a loser.
- 1:06Speaker 1: All you had to do was get up, get out
- 1:08Speaker 1: of bed. Instead, you've stayed in that warm bed and
- 1:13Speaker 1: squandered the opportunity.
- 1:16Speaker 3: The other people were hustling that day to other people
- 1:19Speaker 3: who grinded, who didn't lie in.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Get out of bed, go splash some water on your face.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So let's go. Now, get up, but get after it.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Look, everyone has a problem with time. But the day
- 1:42Speaker 3: is twenty four hours and we sleep six.
- 1:46Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:47Speaker 3: I know there's some out there that say, whoa, whoa,
- 1:49Speaker 3: whoa wo I need eight, But I say just sleep
- 1:52Speaker 3: a little faster, because the bottom line is we have
- 1:56Speaker 3: six hours of sleep twenty four hours that available, say
- 1:59Speaker 3: if eighteen hours an hour available to your work, your family,
- 2:04Speaker 3: your hobbies, and also to learn something new. Don't give
- 2:09Speaker 3: me this thing. I have a difficult time of the time,
- 2:11Speaker 3: and I don't have time for this.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Now I have that.
- 2:13Speaker 2: You have time.
- 2:14Speaker 4: You make the time like you're literally going to live
- 2:18Speaker 4: four more lives, five more. Like from the day you
- 2:20Speaker 4: were born, that you cannot remember to write this second,
- 2:24Speaker 4: You're about to do that three to.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Four more times.
- 2:27Speaker 4: Your biggest advantage is timing. For all the great things
- 2:32Speaker 4: that I have in my life, I would literally give
- 2:35Speaker 4: it up, all of it, all of it, just to
- 2:37Speaker 4: be twenty five. I would give up for seventeen years.
- 2:40Speaker 4: I'd give up everything I have because that's how valuable
- 2:43Speaker 4: time is. And the far majority of this room has
- 2:47Speaker 4: time and time as their asset, and every day the
- 2:52Speaker 4: number one asset they have. Time they give away by
- 2:56Speaker 4: being impatient, mainly on the back of listening to society
- 3:00Speaker 4: for their parents that they have to have their shit
- 3:03Speaker 4: figured out at this age.
- 3:05Speaker 1: The fact that people actually.
- 3:06Speaker 4: Think at eighteen, twenty two or thirty, you have to
- 3:10Speaker 4: have your ship figured out is fucking ridiculous. Let me
- 3:14Speaker 4: promise you all those parents and humbles and grandparents can
- 3:19Speaker 4: push down your throat that you have been figuring it
- 3:21Speaker 4: out by now, they still haven't figured the fuck out.
- 3:27Speaker 4: If for ten years, if you didn't avoid doing what
- 3:31Speaker 4: you knew you needed to do by your own definitions,
- 3:34Speaker 4: right within the value structure that you've created, to the
- 3:36Speaker 4: degree that you've done that, what would.
- 3:38Speaker 3: You be like?
- 3:43Speaker 5: I wish I had not waited fourteen years. Somebody said,
- 3:48Speaker 5: if you want to lose something, lose money, you can
- 3:52Speaker 5: get that back. Eight out of ten millionaires have been
- 3:54Speaker 5: financially bankrupt. Walt Disney filed bankruptcy seven times and had
- 3:58Speaker 5: two nervous breakdowns, but don't lose time. There were fourteen
- 4:02Speaker 5: years I said on the sideline, fourteen years I said
- 4:09Speaker 5: I don't have an investor in me like Tony Robbins.
- 4:12Speaker 5: Fourteen years that said, I don't have an MBA or
- 4:15Speaker 5: a PhD. And I can compete with these guys. I
- 4:19Speaker 5: have the complexion of rejection. Fourteen years I silenced myself,
- 4:25Speaker 5: and so I regret that because there are some people
- 4:28Speaker 5: that maybe if they'd heard my voice, they would not
- 4:32Speaker 5: have turned to drugs. If they had heard my voice,
- 4:36Speaker 5: their lives would have taken a different direction. And I
- 4:40Speaker 5: can't get those fourteen years back. That harns me, and
- 4:44Speaker 5: maybe I think that drives me when I speak with
- 4:48Speaker 5: such energy, I'm trying to make up for that time.
- 4:52Speaker 2: But I can't.
- 4:55Speaker 6: When you wake up, talk about making your bed, make
- 4:57Speaker 6: your bed, make sure your house is clean, make sure
- 4:58Speaker 6: you get your breakfast, make sure you shower, shave, whatever
- 5:01Speaker 6: you're doing, control that. Don't hit this news button. All
- 5:05Speaker 6: these things are very important. That's been told a lot
- 5:07Speaker 6: of times. Why don't you hit this news button? Because
- 5:10Speaker 6: you wake up already failing, You're already behind the power curve.
- 5:14Speaker 6: So it happens to hit this news button. You may
- 5:16Speaker 6: not make your bed, you may not do you hear
- 5:19Speaker 6: the way you want it. You may have picked the
- 5:20Speaker 6: right clothes out in the one time. And I go
- 5:23Speaker 6: back to this real quick. Remember how you had a
- 5:25Speaker 6: job interview.
- 5:25Speaker 2: For a job. We've had several of them in our lives.
- 5:28Speaker 2: What did you do the night before that job?
- 5:30Speaker 6: Weeks before the job interview, meaning you had it, you
- 5:32Speaker 6: prepaired your you know, you had a bowl out for
- 5:34Speaker 6: your oat meal, your cereal whenever you had the warning time,
- 5:37Speaker 6: your coffee cup was out, your clothes were laid out.
- 5:41Speaker 2: You brought your best self.
- 5:43Speaker 6: You're going to warp yourself because you wanted that.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Interviewer to see your best self. You want you got
- 5:50Speaker 2: the job.
- 5:51Speaker 6: After a few months in that job, you look around.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You got the job.
- 5:56Speaker 2: You start to back off.
- 5:57Speaker 6: The clothes aren't out, you're not ready the news button,
- 6:01Speaker 6: you don't get up.
- 6:01Speaker 1: On time anymore.
- 6:02Speaker 6: You realize that you can still have this.
- 6:04Speaker 7: Job and not be your best self. The interview you
- 6:08Speaker 7: is gone. Your job is gone. You have your job,
- 6:12Speaker 7: The interview is gone. So where in the valet of
- 6:15Speaker 7: the one of time is this?
- 6:16Speaker 6: That is that you make up in the morning time
- 6:18Speaker 6: and you own all this stuff because once you leave
- 6:21Speaker 6: your house, the world then gets at you.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Those days when I'm tired, or worn out or just
- 6:38Speaker 1: basically sick of the grind, what do I do on
- 6:42Speaker 1: those days? I go anyways, I get it done, even
- 6:50Speaker 1: if I'm just going through the motions. I go through
- 6:54Speaker 1: the motions. I don't really want to work out, I
- 6:59Speaker 1: work out. I really don't want to hammer on a project.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I hammer on the project. Don't really want to get
- 7:10Speaker 1: up and get out of bed? Yeah, I get up
- 7:15Speaker 1: and get out of bed.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Now.
- 7:19Speaker 1: These could be signals that you need some time off,
- 7:26Speaker 1: and those signals might be writing.
- 7:30Speaker 8: They could be correct. But don't take today off, not today,
- 7:36Speaker 8: wait until tomorrow. Don't give in to the immediate gratification
- 7:42Speaker 8: that is whispering in your ear.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Shut that down, do not listen to that little voice. Instead,
- 7:53Speaker 1: go through the motions. Lift the weights, sprint the hill,
- 7:59Speaker 1: work on the project, get out of bed, get off
- 8:05Speaker 1: your ass and get out there and sell something. Now,
- 8:09Speaker 1: work your.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Face off, and don't buy dumbs.
- 8:15Speaker 1: As an overall rule, I do not like procrastination. Then
- 8:20Speaker 1: you need to get things done. But if you are
- 8:28Speaker 1: going to rest, that is one thing that you should
- 8:32Speaker 1: procrastinate on. That's the one thing I want you to
- 8:35Speaker 1: put off until tomorrow. And if when tomorrow comes you
- 8:41Speaker 1: still feel like you need to rest, or you need
- 8:45Speaker 1: to take a break, then okay, take it. But the
- 8:51Speaker 1: chances are you won't. You won't need that rest. Chances
- 8:57Speaker 1: are you will realize that the desire to rest was
- 9:00Speaker 1: just a weakness.
- 9:01Speaker 2: It was just the.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Desire to take the path of least resistance, the downhill path,
- 9:08Speaker 1: the easy path. And by simply going through the motions,
- 9:18Speaker 1: you overcame that path, and you stayed on the righteous path,
- 9:22Speaker 1: the discipline path. You stayed on the war path.
- 9:28Speaker 9: Just ask yourself this week, do people know you for
- 9:30Speaker 9: your work ethic?
- 9:32Speaker 2: Or people are people like man? You work hard?
- 9:35Speaker 9: Are people actually commenting about you showing up early and
- 9:38Speaker 9: staying late?
- 9:38Speaker 2: Because if they're not.
- 9:41Speaker 9: Then you're just blending in with everybody else's work ethic.
- 9:44Speaker 9: At the end of the day, talent will not win
- 9:45Speaker 9: the game. It is work ethic that will win the game.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Look up, get up, and don't ever give up.
- 9:59Speaker 10: You tell everyone or anyone that has ever doubted thought
- 10:08Speaker 10: they did not measure up or wanted to quit, You
- 10:12Speaker 10: tell them to look
- 10:15Speaker 2: Up, get up, and don't ever give up.
