- 0:21Speaker 2: Go I mean just knowing that you need to, like
- 0:24Speaker 2: go all in here and do everything you possibly can
- 0:27Speaker 2: and work as hard you have this power as possible,
- 0:31Speaker 2: you know to make it happen.
- 0:32Speaker 3: You have this power. Now is it the time to wait?
- 0:35Speaker 3: Now is it the time to waste?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Nothing was stopping me at that point, and the more
- 0:39Speaker 2: people said couldn't be done, the more fire up it
- 0:42Speaker 2: got me.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Go.
- 0:45Speaker 4: You are powerful, You are full of courage, You are unique,
- 0:52Speaker 4: You are independent. You have direction, you write the rules.
- 0:59Speaker 4: Step up to your authority and take it. Take the opportunity.
- 1:04Speaker 5: This is your chance, your chance to change, your chance
- 1:09Speaker 5: to so much more. This is your opportunity to start
- 1:12Speaker 5: the process of your self improvement, the self improvement that
- 1:16Speaker 5: defines your future, a future full of success.
- 1:21Speaker 3: This is the opportunity. This is your opportunity. Don't just
- 1:25Speaker 3: throw it away. This is how it all begins for you.
- 1:28Speaker 3: This is where it can finally happen for you, where
- 1:31Speaker 3: you can grow and be selfish and not wait for
- 1:34Speaker 3: the approval of others. Your time to be your best
- 1:37Speaker 3: version of yourself. This is for you, you and only you.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Before in my life so many failures, you know, growing
- 1:51Speaker 2: up in things, and the way deal with it is
- 1:53Speaker 2: not to dwell on it at all. You just have
- 1:56Speaker 2: to basically as soon as you recognize it, first of all,
- 2:00Speaker 2: being objective about progress, so constantly re evaluating all the
- 2:06Speaker 2: new information. So you could basically say, you know, here's
- 2:09Speaker 2: the vision, and you start marching and information is coming
- 2:13Speaker 2: at you every day, competition, things that market the world,
- 2:16Speaker 2: whatever you need to take in that information and then
- 2:20Speaker 2: kind of reassess constantly, so you could be objective about
- 2:24Speaker 2: making decisions. And if you get to a point where
- 2:26Speaker 2: you realize what you thought was true a year ago
- 2:29Speaker 2: or two years ago is not true anymore given all
- 2:32Speaker 2: this new information, now where do you need to be?
- 2:35Speaker 2: And as soon as you recognize that, being able to
- 2:38Speaker 2: tell people I was wrong, forget that, I know I
- 2:40Speaker 2: said that that was when the information was this new information.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Knew We're going to pivot and then get everybody aligned
- 2:46Speaker 2: around it, but willing to take that risk of looking
- 2:49Speaker 2: stupid and basically just changing your mind. And sometimes that
- 2:52Speaker 2: happens over a year or two years. Sometimes it could
- 2:54Speaker 2: be months. You could be months and say, you know
- 2:56Speaker 2: what wrong. Objectively, we've got some new let's go in
- 3:01Speaker 2: this direction. So I think you can't dwell. You just
- 3:04Speaker 2: have to reassess and go. If you're thinking about the
- 3:08Speaker 2: failure or feel bad even for a minute, that's just
- 3:11Speaker 2: a minute of lost time going forward. The first thing
- 3:15Speaker 2: is people think the idea is not good enough, and
- 3:18Speaker 2: they think the idea is way more important than it
- 3:20Speaker 2: really is, and people try and find ideas that have
- 3:23Speaker 2: never been done before, which usually result in these little businesses.
- 3:27Speaker 2: I challenge people all the time to say, it's not
- 3:28Speaker 2: about the idea, it's about the execution. Find and pick
- 3:32Speaker 2: any industry out there. There's a way to disrupt it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: There's already a big market. If you could just figure
- 3:37Speaker 2: out a way to do it a little bit better
- 3:39Speaker 2: and execute well, you could make a nice return on capital.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Doesn't have to be anything super innovative. So I think
- 3:50Speaker 2: that's what holds people back. I think once people get going,
- 3:53Speaker 2: I think they spend too much time thinking about all
- 3:57Speaker 2: the things that could go wrong, and they get overwhelmed
- 4:00Speaker 2: that it literally just paralyzes them. And I'd always say, like,
- 4:03Speaker 2: forget about all that stuff. Today's today. What's the biggest
- 4:07Speaker 2: step you can take today toward your vision? Well, how
- 4:11Speaker 2: did you make the most progress against the vision today?
- 4:14Speaker 2: So I always push people to be really clear about
- 4:15Speaker 2: the vision and then and then they take that step,
- 4:18Speaker 2: and then it's the next day and they say, well, what, no, no,
- 4:21Speaker 2: don't focus on that. What's the biggest step you And
- 4:23Speaker 2: as you start lining up five, six, seven, eight weeks
- 4:28Speaker 2: months in a row, and you're like, wow, look back,
- 4:31Speaker 2: we had some serious progress, and focus on like how
- 4:34Speaker 2: far you've come, And keep the vision in mind, But
- 4:37Speaker 2: don't get caught up between today and the vision, because
- 4:40Speaker 2: you'll just you'll submit out of control.
- 4:42Speaker 3: You have this problem. Go become undefeated, keep your resolve
- 4:47Speaker 3: and silence the critic within. Forget the other critics, because
- 4:51Speaker 3: they will not respect you at the bottom, they'll ignore
- 4:54Speaker 3: you in the middle, and they will be resentful at
- 4:57Speaker 3: the top. As you rise without negativity and doubt, you
- 5:01Speaker 3: become stronger, wiser, and more determined. Your environment will still
- 5:07Speaker 3: be new, and you will still consciously and unconsciously structure
- 5:11Speaker 3: yourself and restructure your sense of self. You will always
- 5:16Speaker 3: be learning, adapting, and patient in the pursuit your love
- 5:21Speaker 3: will be unbound and unpretentious, and your greatest achievement proceeds
- 5:25Speaker 3: the last.
- 5:28Speaker 2: First of all, people need to feel an intense sense
- 5:33Speaker 2: of ownership of their idea. So making sure that you
- 5:38Speaker 2: know when somebody has an idea, you can help them
- 5:41Speaker 2: mold it, but it's their idea, and they have to
- 5:44Speaker 2: feel like they're accountable to it, to the idea, pushing
- 5:48Speaker 2: them to go out there and tell the world, friends, family,
- 5:51Speaker 2: everyone about their idea and what their vision is, what
- 5:54Speaker 2: they hope to achieve. And it's amazing how infectious that
- 5:58Speaker 2: can be when somebody gets out there and telling people like, wow,
- 6:01Speaker 2: that's a really good idea, or can you do that?
- 6:03Speaker 2: Or I don't think you can do that, or and
- 6:05Speaker 2: you start whether whether it's some I says you can't
- 6:07Speaker 2: do it, or they say, well it sounds like an
- 6:08Speaker 2: amazing idea. In either case, it's pretty motivating. I find
- 6:11Speaker 2: the people that are scared to tell people about it
- 6:15Speaker 2: because they feel like some sense of like now I'm
- 6:17Speaker 2: kind of committed or you know, I've told all my
- 6:18Speaker 2: friends about this big idea I'm going to go do,
- 6:21Speaker 2: so just getting somebody to go out there, It's kind
- 6:23Speaker 2: of like, you know, if you want to work out,
- 6:24Speaker 2: they say, you know, you know, put your shorts, your
- 6:27Speaker 2: t shirt, your shoes right next to the bed, get
- 6:28Speaker 2: out of bed and put them on, and then once
- 6:30Speaker 2: you get them on, it's it's easy to go. It's
- 6:33Speaker 2: similar kind of thing. It's like, once you have your idea,
- 6:35Speaker 2: start telling everybody you know about this idea and how
- 6:38Speaker 2: you're going to do it. And usually that kind of
- 6:41Speaker 2: starts to snowball and then people feel a sense of
- 6:44Speaker 2: accountability to it. Let's go with the core, you know,
- 6:51Speaker 2: be good to people, chief people as you want to
- 6:54Speaker 2: be treated, Be empathetic, be kind. What drives someone's happiness
- 7:01Speaker 2: at the end of the day when you kind of
- 7:03Speaker 2: when you really get into it, it's people want to
- 7:05Speaker 2: be understood, they want to be heard, they want to
- 7:09Speaker 2: feel like that there's something bigger than just dollars and
- 7:12Speaker 2: cents in business. And I think being empathetic is putting
- 7:16Speaker 2: yourself in somebody's situation and being able to relate to
- 7:22Speaker 2: how they feel about business situation, things outside of business,
- 7:27Speaker 2: personal stuff, and I think that builds a lot of
- 7:32Speaker 2: trust and respect and people willing to be more loyal
- 7:39Speaker 2: and committed and willing to give the best that they've
- 7:43Speaker 2: got when they feel it's also feeling a safety too.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I think when people feel listened to, heard and understood,
- 7:51Speaker 2: they feel safer. And a lot of times people don't
- 7:55Speaker 2: give their best or do their best because they feel unsafe,
- 7:59Speaker 2: which brings to toll to the topic around you know,
- 8:01Speaker 2: just creating an inclusive work environment, which I think is
- 8:05Speaker 2: super important, and in the empathy place a big part
- 8:07Speaker 2: of that.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Start now, start where you are. Start with fear, Start
- 8:13Speaker 1: with pain, start with doubt, start with hands shaking, start
- 8:17Speaker 1: with voice trembling. Let's start. Go, start and don't stop.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Start where you are, with what you have. Just start.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Go.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Surround yourself with people who push you to do and
- 8:31Speaker 1: be better. The biggest communication problem is that we don't
- 8:34Speaker 1: listen to understand. We listen only to reply. Rock Bottom
- 8:40Speaker 1: will teach you lessons that mountaintops never will.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Let them run, let them create, not get in their way.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Go.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Every morning you have two choices. Continue to sleep with
- 8:51Speaker 1: your dream, or wake up and chase them. Knowing is
- 8:57Speaker 1: not enough, We must apply. Willing is not enough. We
- 9:02Speaker 1: must do. If you focus on the result, you may lose,
- 9:07Speaker 1: but if you focus on enjoying the process, you will
- 9:11Speaker 1: always win.
- 9:14Speaker 3: It makes no.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Sense why people think that at eighteen twenty two thirty
- 9:19Speaker 1: they have to have their life figured out, When figuring
- 9:21Speaker 1: everything out is a forever game. You will continue to
- 9:26Speaker 1: suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that's
- 9:29Speaker 1: said to you. True power is sitting back and observing
- 9:32Speaker 1: everything with logic. If words can control you, that means
- 9:36Speaker 1: that everything else can control you. Breathe and allow things
- 9:41Speaker 1: to pass. The most dangerous person is the one who listens, thinks,
- 9:51Speaker 1: and observes. Stop making excuses. Yesterday you said tomorrow, it's
- 9:58Speaker 1: already tomorrow, and you are no closer to your dreams.
- 10:03Speaker 1: It's easy to spot a yellow car when you're always
- 10:05Speaker 1: thinking of a yellow car, and it's easy to spot
- 10:08Speaker 1: an opportunity when you're always thinking of an opportunity. And
- 10:12Speaker 1: it's easy to spot a reason be mad when you're
- 10:15Speaker 1: always thinking of being mad. You become what you constantly
- 10:19Speaker 1: think about. Your thoughts become words, Your words become actions.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Your actions become habits. Your habits become character. Character is
- 10:29Speaker 1: who you are and determines your path and life. You
- 10:33Speaker 1: make your own destiny, and people don't lack strength.
- 10:36Speaker 3: They like will.
- 10:38Speaker 1: What defines us is how well we rise after falling.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Give people time, give people space. Don't beg anyone to stay,
- 10:48Speaker 1: let them wrong. What's meant for you will always be yours.
- 10:52Speaker 1: When the battle of life is upon you, remember you
- 10:56Speaker 1: are strong when the odds are stacked against you. Remember
- 11:01Speaker 1: you are powerful When it all gets too much, Remember
- 11:05Speaker 1: it's in the darkness where the fire is lifting.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Congratulations, you're a winner.
