  Speaker 1: Come on. Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. Y'all listening to The Voice. Oh,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: come on now, dig me. If you will, one and
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: only Steve Harvey.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Got a radio show.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You know, one of the things about being successful, and
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I was sharing this just the other day with a
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: young man, and he asked me, he said, hey, man,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I just don't see how You get up that early
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: in the morning. I just don't see how, man, it
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: would kill me to get up this early in the morning. Well,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I sat there and I'm listening to it because it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: just a thousand times I've heard it, you know. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: my life is, you know, not too different from a
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: lot of people's lives. There's a lot of people out
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: there that rise early. And I just sit there, man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: because I mean, first of all, I'm grateful to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: able to have a job. I'm so grateful to be
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: able to do one. And several that I happen to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: enjoy doing. I mean, you know, it's work. And it's
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: difficult at times. But, I mean, you know, I wanted this.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: You know, you can't ask God for nothing. He didn't
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: give it to you. You didn't be mad that you
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: got it. It don't make no sense. The problem with
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: asking God for stuff is a lot of times we
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: asking for stuff, we don't really know what all it encompasses,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: what all it really is. And I ask for this. Now,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: along the way, I've gotten far more than I asked for.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I want you to do understand that. And, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that's his grace at work in my life. But I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: get up early and I go to work because I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: do understand something that it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Is not walking up to you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Nobody walks up to people normally and just hand them
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: checks all the time and enough checks to sustain your
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: life and not only sustain it, but to have a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: life that where you could enjoy and do some of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the things you want to do. I don't know the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: person that walks out, hands out that money just to
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: be doing it. And then with a lifestyle where you can,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you know, give your kids a Christmas, you know, take
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: your family on vacation, you know, a year, once a year.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know nobody passing out that kind of money.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So I get up early in the morning and I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: get at it. I was taught to get up early
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in the morning by my father because my father says,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: ain't nothing going to come to you while you're laying there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And you know what?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It's just true, man. It's just a little common sense.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Old people are smart, man. They've been around a long time.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You know some old fools out there, but you don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: have to deal with them. But old people are pretty smart, man.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: They've learned a lot along the way. And waking up
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: early and getting out of it is one of them things.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And I ask everybody, man, to think about this scenario
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of your life. If a day has 24 hours in it,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And let's just say you choose to sleep eight of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: those hours because they tell you you need eight hours sleep.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So you sleep eight hours. That's a third of your
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: life asleep already. Just a third of your life is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: spent asleep. If you go do eight hours a day. Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: let's say you have a job that you work eight hours.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: It is not the job of your dreams. It's not
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: your dream career, your dream profession. It's just the one
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you took, like all of us, to get it started.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And then, like all of us, some of us end
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: up having to stay there because we've created these bills
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: because we check to check so we can't leave it
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: because we'll lose what we've worked for. So let's just
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: say you got a job that you go to work
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to for eight hours. That's another third of your life.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That's two thirds of your life. Feel how you want
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to feel about your two thirds. Well, I like sleep.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: OK, cool. There's a scripture about that, too.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: But now you spent two thirds of your life, one
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: on a job you don't care for if you're not
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: happy there or one that just pays the bills and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it's not your dream job or career.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Another third of your life is sleep. Oh, now let's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: hold on.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the one hour of preparation that it
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: may take to get to the job. That's 17 hours.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Let's say your drive time. Let's say getting to your
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: job for the average person. It's anywhere between 30 to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: an hour. That's an average of what it takes to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: average person. Now, some people out there hustling way harder
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: than that. But let's just say your average is an
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: hour getting to work. You add another hour to that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: going to work. You've now spent 18 hours out of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the 24 doing something different. That's either nonproductive, you're not
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: happy with, you're not pleased about, it's not your dream job,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it's not your dream profession, and the rest of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: time you sleep 18 hours. Now, you got to come
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: from the job. So let's just say it's another hour
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to get back home. That's 19 hours. 19 hours out
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: of a 24-hour day. You now have five hours left
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: in your day. Oh, you watch TV two hours a day? Okay,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: excuse me. Now you put two hours of TV on there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: You've just spent 21. You now have three hours left.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: In the day to do something super productive for the
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: development of yourself and the future of your family and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: your future as a person and what you can provide
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for your family.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, I need to chill. I need to smoke one.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I need some time at happy hour. Seem like
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: all I do is drive to work and go to work.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out with the fellas, drink one. Okay,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: let's say you spend two hours at happy hour. Nobody
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: go to a happy hour just for an hour. Let's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: say you spend two hours at happy hour smoking or
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: some video games. Let's throw that in there. Two hours
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of smoking, chilling, video games. That's 23 hours of your
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: day gone. Don't you see how your day slips away
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: from you? So why would you get up early? You
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: get up early to get a jump. You get up
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: early to produce, to plan, to become productive people. You
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: get up early in the morning to care about every
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: single minute of your day. You wake up early in
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the morning because you have a plan, a mission. You
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: have something you want to accomplish. The earlier you get up,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the more time you have just for you to devote
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to your plan. You map it out. You make some sense,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: some emails, whatever it is you need to do to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: get your dream on the way. Then you go get ready.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Then you get in your car and go to work.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Then you go to your job. But on your job,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: instead of sitting at your lunch break, messing around with
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: a bunch of people laughing and talking about nothing, playing dominoes.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Why don't you take that hour to do some more
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: research to send out some more e-mails? to put some
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: feelers out there to see what can get you in
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the place that you want to be. Then when you
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: get off, instead of driving straight home, why don't you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: go somewhere in a meeting, you know, take in a
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: session with some people in a positive mental state, group
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: of people that get together and network for business, not
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: drink at happy hour. I said network for business. So
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: after you've done that eight that you don't really care
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: for on a job, you spend some more time pursuing,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: looking into, researching, working towards, sending out some more applications,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: putting in some more time to build your new app,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: discussing some more networking ideas. Okay, that's your happy hour.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Then when you go home, instead of chilling, drinking one,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: having a cold one, smoking one, playing a video game,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: why don't you take that two hours and devote that
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to that business idea you got, to that family that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you talk about you really want.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Spend some time with your children. Put something into them.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Do something, man, with all these precious hours that God
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: gives all of us in the course of a day.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Take advantage of every minute of that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: No human being has more than 24 hours a day,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: including myself. But if you care about every single minute
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of that day, you'll be amazed at how much you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: could get accomplished in a 24 hour day. But you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: can't get none of that happening because you sleep and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you chill it. And you smoking.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: What has that done for you, your family, or your future?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Care about every minute of your day.
