  Speaker 1: good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come

  Speaker 1: on now, digny if you will. One and only, Steve
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Harvey got a radio show, you know, one of the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: things about being successful. And I was sharing this just
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the other day with a young man and he asked me.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: He said, hey, man, I just don't see how you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: get up that early in the morning. I just don't
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: see how, man, it would kill me to get up
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this early in the morning. Well, I sat down and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to it because it's just a thousand times
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I've heard it, you know, and my life is, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: not too different from a lot of people's lives. There's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that rise early. And
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I just sit there, man, because I mean, first of all,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful to be able to have a job, and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful to be able to do one and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: several that I happened to enjoy are doing. I mean,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it's work, and it's difficult at times, but
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know I wanted this. You know you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: got it. You know, you can't ask God for nothing,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: any give it to you then be mad that you
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: got it don't make no sense. You know. The problem
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: with asking God for stuff is a lot of times
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we asking for stuff, we don't really know what all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it encompasses, what all it really is. And I ask
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for this. Now along the way, I've gotten far more
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: than I asked for. I want you to do. Understand that,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and you know that's His grace at work in my life.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But I get up early and I go to work
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because I do understand something that it is not walking
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: up to you. Nobody walks up to people normally and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: just hand them checks all the time, and enough checks
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to sustain your life, and not only sustain it, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to have a life that where you could enjoy and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: do some of the things you want to do. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: don't know the person that walks out hands out that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: money just to be doing it. And then with a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: lifestyle though, where you can you know, give your key
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a Christmas, you know, take your family on vacation, you
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: know a year once a year. I don't know nobody
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: passing out to kind of money. So I get up
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: early in the morning and I get at it. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: was taught to get up early in the morning by
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: my father because my father says, ain't nothing gonna come
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to you while you lay in there. And you know what,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it's just true, man, it's just a little common sense.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Little old people smart man, they've been around a long time.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You don't get old. You know some old foods out there,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but you know you don't have to deal with them.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But old people are pretty smart, man. They've learned a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lot along the way. And waking up early and getting
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: at it is one of them things. And I ask
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: everybody man to think about this scenario of your life.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: If a day has twenty four hours in it, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: let's just say you choose to sleep eight of those
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: hours because they tell you need eight hours sleep, so
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you sleep eight hours. That's a third of your life
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: asleep already, Just a third of your life is spent
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a sleep if you gonna do eight hours today. Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: let's say you have a job that you work eight
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hours and it is not the job of your dreams.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It's not your dream career, your dream profession. It's just
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the one you took, like all of us, to get
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: it started. And then, like all of us, some of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: us end up having to state that because we've created
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: these bills, because we checked and check. So we can't
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: leave it because we'll lose what we've worked for. So
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: let's just say you got a job that you go
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to work to for eight hours. That's another third of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: your life. That's two thirds of your life. Feel how
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you want to feel about your two thirds? Well, I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: 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, or one that just pays the bills and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it's not your dream job or career. Another third of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on. Let's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: talk about the one hour of preparation that it may
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: take to get to the job. That's seventeen hours. Let's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: say your drive time, let's say getting to your job
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for the average person is anywhere between thirty to an hour.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's an average of what it takes to average person. Now,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: some people out there hustling way harder than that. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: let's just say your average is an hour getting to work.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You add another hour to that going to work. You've
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: now spent eighteen hours out of the twenty four doing
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: something that's either non productive you're not happy with, you're
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: not pleased about. It is not your dream job, it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: not your dream profession. And rest of the time you
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: sleep eighteen hours. Now you got to come from the job,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: so let's just say it's another hour to get back home.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: That's nineteen hours. Nineteen hours out of a twenty four
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hour day. You now have five hours left in your day.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Oh you watch TV two hours a day. Okay, excuse me.

• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that you've just spent twenty one. You now have three
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: hours in the day to do something super productive for

• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Don't you see how your day slips away from you?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So why would you get up early? You get up
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: early to get a jump. You get up early to produce,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to plan, to become productive. You get up early in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the morning to care about every single minute of your day.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You wake up early in the morning because you have
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a plan, a mission, You have something you want to accomplish.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The earlier you get up, the more time you have
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just for you to devote to your plan. You map
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it out, you make them, send some emails, whatever it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is you need to do to get your dream on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the way. Then you go get ready. Then you get
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in your car and go to work. Then you go
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to your job, but on your job, instead of sitting
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at your lunch break messing around with a bunch of
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: people laughing and talking about nothing, playing dominoes, why don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you take that hour to do some more research, to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: send out some more emails, to put some feelings out there,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: to see what can get you in the place that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you want to be. Then when you get off, instead
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of driving straight home, why don't you go somewhere in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a meeting, you take in a session with some people
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: in a positive mental state, group of people that get together.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Network for business, not drink at happy hour, I said,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: network for business. So after you've done that eight that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you don't really care for on a job, you spend
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: some more time pursuing, looking into researching, working towards, sending
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: out some more applications, putting in some more time to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: build your new app discussing some more networking ideas. Okay,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that's your happy hour. Then when you go home, instead
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of chilling, drinking one, having a cold, one, smoking one,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: playing a video game, why don't you take that two
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: hours and devote that to that business idea. You got
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to that family that you talk about, you really want
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: spend some time with your children, put something into them.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Do something. Man, with all these precious hours that God
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: gives all of us in the course of a day,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: take advantage of every minute of that. No human being
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: has more than twenty four hours a day, including myself.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: But if you care about every single minute of that day,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you'll be amazed at how much you could get accomplished
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: in a twenty four hour day. But you can't get
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: none of that happening because you sleep, and you chilling
• 7:51
