Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: All of us are born with a gift. You know,
- 0:04Speaker 1: greatness is upon you.
- 0:06Speaker 2: And I realized that my gift wasn't going to create itself.
- 0:09Speaker 3: My gift wasn't going to nurture itself.
- 0:12Speaker 1: My gift wasn't going to perfect itself. That was something
- 0:15Speaker 1: I had to do.
- 0:17Speaker 4: If I was to be asked what is my greatest
- 0:21Speaker 4: advice to give you as a young man or a
- 0:24Speaker 4: young woman, it would be this message. People are not
- 0:30Speaker 4: looking for you. They are looking for what you are.
- 0:35Speaker 5: Carrying, and if you don't manifest what you are carrying,
- 0:39Speaker 5: the world will ignore you. Because you exist doesn't mean
- 0:43Speaker 5: you're going to be successful. Because you are on the
- 0:47Speaker 5: planet doesn't mean that people are going to notice you.
- 0:52Speaker 5: You can live an entire life and not be noticed
- 0:55Speaker 5: by humanity. We can bury you in a cemetery and
- 0:59Speaker 5: we would never know you were here except for the tombstone.
- 1:04Speaker 5: And the reason is because most of the humans on
- 1:07Speaker 5: earth live on Earth but never manifest themselves. And so
- 1:13Speaker 5: the most important goal in your life should be self manifestation.
- 1:21Speaker 6: So here's the first step to accumulating wealth. You must
- 1:24Speaker 6: be willing to do the things today others won't do
- 1:28Speaker 6: in order to have the things tomorrow others won't have.
- 1:34Speaker 6: That's why the Book of Life said, the road to
- 1:35Speaker 6: life is straight and narrow, and fuel there be that
- 1:38Speaker 6: find it, because fuel there be that are willing to
- 1:41Speaker 6: do the things today others won't do in order to
- 1:46Speaker 6: have the things tomorrow others won't have. What are the
- 1:49Speaker 6: things that others won't do? Number one, make discipline a
- 1:53Speaker 6: major force in your life. How many of you know
- 1:57Speaker 6: if you'd have been more disciplined, you'd before alone to.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Reach your goals.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Right now, Socrates.
- 2:02Speaker 6: Said, the undisciplined life is an insane life.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Make it okay to fail.
- 2:10Speaker 6: A lot of people, eighty five percent of people allow
- 2:12Speaker 6: their fear of failure to outweigh their desire to succeed.
- 2:18Speaker 6: Repeat out to me, please, anything that's worth doing is
- 2:24Speaker 6: worth doing badly. Yeah, see, anything is worth doing is
- 2:29Speaker 6: worth doing right, as we have been taught. If you
- 2:33Speaker 6: know how to do it, But if you don't know
- 2:35Speaker 6: how to do it, it's worth doing badly until you
- 2:40Speaker 6: get it right. I bet you, and I wasn't there.
- 2:47Speaker 6: I bet you that when Bishop Tdjkes first stood up
- 2:51Speaker 6: to preach, when he gave his trial sermon, he did
- 2:55Speaker 6: not have the command. He did not have the mastery,
- 2:58Speaker 6: He did not have the confidence, He did not have
- 3:01Speaker 6: the depth, He did not have the capacity to translate
- 3:04Speaker 6: and nu scripture like he did last night when he
- 3:07Speaker 6: first started out now writing this down. You don't have
- 3:11Speaker 6: to be great to get started, but you have to
- 3:13Speaker 6: get started to be great.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It takes courage to be exceptional. It takes courage to
- 3:35Speaker 3: be wise. It takes courage to be rich, It takes
- 3:40Speaker 3: courage to be educated, It takes courage to be knowledgeable,
- 3:44Speaker 3: because the moment you do, but you don't talk like
- 3:46Speaker 3: you Oh you forgot where you came from, look at
- 3:48Speaker 3: you talk to It takes courage. And I'm just wondering
- 3:53Speaker 3: in this weak, water down medio for society that we
- 3:56Speaker 3: live in the day, in this reality TV world we
- 4:00Speaker 3: live in today, I'm wondering if there's anybody left that's
- 4:04Speaker 3: not the courage to say, after all I've been through,
- 4:08Speaker 3: and all my ancestors have been through, and all my
- 4:11Speaker 3: parents have been through, I didn't come to all of
- 4:13Speaker 3: that just.
- 4:14Speaker 1: To fit in with normalcy.
- 4:16Speaker 7: I have the courage to go out to my dream.
- 4:22Speaker 2: When I look in the mirror, I know there's no
- 4:27Speaker 2: doubt I'm not like the rest.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I don't need to check, there is no need. I
- 4:34Speaker 1: am a different breed.
- 4:39Speaker 8: You want to improve, you want to get better. You
- 4:43Speaker 8: want to get in a workout program or a clean diet.
- 4:46Speaker 8: You want to start a business. You want to write
- 4:50Speaker 8: a book or make a movie, or build a house,
- 4:52Speaker 8: or a computer or put together some mobile application. Where
- 4:57Speaker 8: do you start? You start writing here? And when do
- 5:01Speaker 8: you start? You start right now. You initiate the action aggressively.
- 5:06Speaker 2: You go because the idea isn't going to execute itself,
- 5:11Speaker 2: and the book isn't going to write itself, and the
- 5:13Speaker 2: weights out in the gym, they're not going to move themselves.
- 5:17Speaker 8: You have to do it, and you have to do
- 5:20Speaker 8: it now.
- 5:21Speaker 9: So for me, my brain saying that's it right there,
- 5:25Speaker 9: move as fast as a rocket molt. I wanted to
- 5:28Speaker 9: change my life. And I think most people that are
- 5:31Speaker 9: miserable or that are that are really like dying to
- 5:35Speaker 9: be great and dying to have more. We want to change,
- 5:38Speaker 9: We want to live a better life. We want to
- 5:41Speaker 9: create more for our families. We want to be happier.
- 5:44Speaker 9: The desire is there again, it's about how do you
- 5:48Speaker 9: go from knowledge to action? So the first thing in
- 5:50Speaker 9: the story that's important is realizing that the answer was
- 5:53Speaker 9: in me and my mind was telling me.
- 5:56Speaker 3: Pay attention, you can do this.
- 6:00Speaker 1: You are great, You're special.
- 6:02Speaker 7: You were born for a reason. Life's gonna give you,
- 6:05Speaker 7: ultimately what you'll fight for. You know exactly what you're
- 6:10Speaker 7: afraid of. You know exactly what you've been avoiding, and
- 6:12Speaker 7: you got to make a decision to change it. You
- 6:15Speaker 7: know exactly what it is, don't ds anybody. You know
- 6:17Speaker 7: what you need to do different, You know the changes
- 6:19Speaker 7: you need to make, and if you could do that,
- 6:21Speaker 7: you stop kidding yourself.
- 6:23Speaker 3: You can win.
- 6:23Speaker 7: You can overcome your fear, overcome procrastination, whatever that is.
- 6:29Speaker 7: The people in life that win play offense, not defense.
- 6:33Speaker 7: Stop backing into everything, stand up, bow your back a
- 6:36Speaker 7: little bit, start to walk a little different, start to
- 6:39Speaker 7: do that best version of you. You can do it
- 6:41Speaker 7: in your quiet way. You can do it the way
- 6:42Speaker 7: you do it. But somehow they got to look at
- 6:44Speaker 7: you and go, Okay, I won't monkey.
- 6:46Speaker 3: With that one.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Make a choice, like you, just decide what is going
- 6:53Speaker 2: to be, who you're gonna be, how you're gonna do it.
- 7:00Speaker 1: For my emotional wellbeing. Thirty minutes every day.

- 10:04Speaker 1: How short is the email? Two words? Good? Great? Yeah?
- 10:11Speaker 10: Because guess what if you get the amount of emails
- 10:13Speaker 10: I get, you spend five minute crafting the email.
- 10:16Speaker 1: You get two hundred emails? Do the numbers. That's not work.
- 10:21Speaker 10: I need to get my email done in seconds.
- 10:23Speaker 1: If it's something, then they feedback, they need feedback on
- 10:26Speaker 1: and ither.
- 10:26Speaker 10: Thing I do, I will make a video. So I
- 10:28Speaker 10: use a program called Jane. J I n g from
- 10:31Speaker 10: I think yeah tech text soft tech for text, yeah,
- 10:36Speaker 10: text office. But Jane is what I use is free

- 10:44Speaker 10: walk them through different things. Plus it's recording my voice.
- 10:47Speaker 10: I upload the link.
- 10:48Speaker 1: I send them a.
- 10:48Speaker 10: Link they can watch. That saves me a whole lot
- 10:50Speaker 10: of time. Again, it's a time saving tool, but also
- 10:52Speaker 10: clarity sometimes, Oh Dan, can you reveal this website for me?
- 10:56Speaker 10: If I take a look and I type it out,
- 10:58Speaker 10: guess what a lot.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Of them is communication? And then they are what about this?
- 11:03Speaker 10: And then I've spent more time explaining it back and forth,
- 11:05Speaker 10: back and forth, versus making on video.
- 11:07Speaker 1: They get it.
- 11:09Speaker 10: Usually they're a little back and forth. So that's another
- 11:12Speaker 10: tool that I use. Get So that's my daily disciplines.
- 11:15Speaker 10: Whatever your daily disciplines or you better have some.
- 11:19Speaker 1: You better have some.
- 11:21Speaker 10: If you don't schedule it, it won't get done. So
- 11:23Speaker 10: I schedule my lunchtime. I schedule my lunchtime, I schedule
- 11:26Speaker 10: my email time. My mom again makes me a point
- 11:29Speaker 10: with me. Sunday nine pm to eleven pm long distance call.
- 11:32Speaker 10: My wife makes a point with me. These your time,
- 11:34Speaker 10: vacation time, pastpand time. Now I've already just give you
- 11:37Speaker 10: an example block out about sixty seven days for twenty seventeen.
- 11:44Speaker 1: Sixty seven days.
- 11:44Speaker 10: They include veg D SEE mastermind meetings, speaking gigs, master.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Minds, vacations. That's how you scrip it out. That's what
- 11:53Speaker 1: I mean. You don't just oh wow, you know what,
- 11:55Speaker 1: I'll take the vacation. Whenever, we'll do it. We'll do
- 11:59Speaker 1: that whatever. No, don't do that.
- 12:03Speaker 9: Being overwhelmed is nothing more than having a full brain.
- 12:05Speaker 9: And so when you feel overwhelmed, what I know about
- 12:08Speaker 9: you is that your brain is full of a bunch
- 12:10Speaker 9: of garbage that takes ego.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, ego drives you know,
- 12:16Speaker 2: you to be successful, me to be successful.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Egos what's driving you.
- 12:20Speaker 8: The problem is when you let ego go too far.
- 12:22Speaker 10: If you're going to speak effectively, you have to know
- 12:26Speaker 10: way more than you're talking about.
- 12:30Speaker 1: I was lucky.
- 12:31Speaker 11: I found what I loved to do early in life.
- 12:34Speaker 11: When I was twenty, the heaviness of being successful was
- 12:38Speaker 11: replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less
- 12:41Speaker 11: sure about it.
- 12:43Speaker 12: It's not like everyone else, and I'd rather have something
- 12:46Speaker 12: that is my path bathed by me, something that is
- 12:51Speaker 12: my legacy, my own self, my own achievement than being
- 12:55Speaker 12: one of the many successful people in the world.
- 12:57Speaker 9: You see, all habits have three parts. There's a trigger,
- 13:00Speaker 9: and in the case of procrastination, the triggers always stress.
- 13:04Speaker 9: So next time that you're in a situation where you
- 13:06Speaker 9: feel yourself hesitate, what you're gonna do is you're gonna go, oh,
- 13:10Speaker 9: I must be stressed out about something. Acknowledge the stress.
- 13:14Speaker 1: That's how you have to live your life.
- 13:16Speaker 10: Like my appreciation of things, and it gets enhanced greatly
- 13:20Speaker 10: after exercise.
- 13:21Speaker 1: I just feel better.
- 13:23Speaker 5: I feel like I can take things in for what
- 13:24Speaker 5: they are.
- 13:25Speaker 10: I always talk about my guaranteed formula for success that
- 13:29Speaker 10: is one hundred percent proven for my life, and other
- 13:31Speaker 10: people have taught outwork out, improved, outlass and out strategies.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Again, sorry to be.
- 13:37Speaker 11: So dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited,
- 13:42Speaker 11: so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be
- 13:46Speaker 11: trapped by doggy, which is living with the results of
- 13:49Speaker 11: other people's thinking.
- 13:51Speaker 12: Because to be an achiever you have to let go
- 13:55Speaker 12: of some things. But besides that, I think you know,
- 13:59Speaker 12: when you want global domination, you have to pay the
- 14:01Speaker 12: price for it.
- 14:02Speaker 13: And I genuinely believe my happiness and optimism comes from
- 14:05Speaker 13: my perspective. Even in political unrest times like right now,
- 14:09Speaker 13: a lot of people are very bent out of shape.
- 14:10Speaker 13: But the reality is that it's just never been better to.
- 14:14Speaker 8: Be a human being.
- 14:15Speaker 13: It's that's just the truth, that's just data, that's that's reality.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I thought then, I was trying hard.
- 14:22Speaker 8: That's the scariest thing in the world.
- 14:24Speaker 10: I thought then.
- 14:25Speaker 7: Tours at ninety seven pound working for Eco Labs way
- 14:28Speaker 7: for Cognos is making one thousand dollars a month.
- 14:32Speaker 11: I thought that was me at my one hardred percent potential.
- 14:36Speaker 10: Well, you're gonna die, You're gonna age, you can't stop aging.
- 14:39Speaker 8: And it's like, yes, you're right, but that's not the point.
- 14:42Speaker 10: The point is to age better, Like that's the point.
- 14:46Speaker 10: The point is to increase your health span.
- 14:48Speaker 1: So I'm not afraid of it.
- 14:51Speaker 12: I just know that I'll have a plan leave when
- 14:53Speaker 12: that happens. Creativity can be mopped into so many things.
- 14:58Speaker 12: It can act today. I sing, I write columns, I've
- 15:03Speaker 12: written for Early New York Times, unders Time Times, I
- 15:07Speaker 12: act in movies. I'm producing films. There is a gazillion
- 15:10Speaker 12: things you can do as a creative person,
