  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are our last break of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the day. It's been a great day, a fun day.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you everybody always for listening to us. Thank you
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to you. We appreciate you, We appreciate your business. Thank
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you so much. Junior, you have a question for.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Steve, Yeah, I do, uncle, and I want you to
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: expound on this because you know, we were talking about
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neil earlier when he said he was chasing greatness
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and the sacrifice he made. And you know, talk to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: us about at twenty seven, how you made decision, how
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: you lost a family doing it. That's a that's a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: real deep thought about all the things you sacrificed to
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: be mister Harvey today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, look in your life, whenever you make
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: a decision to improve, to become better, to do more,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: to have more, to be more, all of that comes
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: with the price, because look, it takes sacrifice and it
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: takes above average effort to turn yourself into success. And
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: all the decisions you make along the way to become
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: successful are not going to be good decisions. Just because
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: you made the decision to do better, be better, get better,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: make better, look better, it don't mean that that decision
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: is final. That's that's it. That's the last decision I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: have to make. No, even when you make the decision,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: there's repercussions. You know, when I walked in there and
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I quit my job on October ninth, there were some
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: repercussions with that decision. It was a great decision to make,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: but that came with repercussions. That check that I was
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: getting every other friday, that check stopped coming. That was
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: some repercussions. There were some people who were going to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: suffer because of that. While I went out there and
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: made twenty five dollars a night telling jokes, fifty dollars
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: performing in restaurants that only had booths in it, standing
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: up on the stage behind I was on it. Man.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I'm stood on stage behind the bar above the cash
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: register in Sandesky, Ohio. You went behind the bar, walked
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: up some steps, and the stage was like on top
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: of the cash register. You know how the bar tend
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to take your order and turn around to ring it
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: up on the cash register. On top of the cash
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: register was the stage and no bigger than a card table.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: And that's why I stood to tell jokes. But all
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: of this seeking greatness came with a decision, and every
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: decision comes with consequences and ramifications. There are no free decisions.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: All of your decisions that you make on your way
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: to success are not going to be happy decisions. It's
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: going to cost you something. But even when you make
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the decisions, even though you think it's the best thing
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: to do right now, if it caught cause's some consequences
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to other people. Probably need to find another way to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: make the decision. But oftentimes you won't see it, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: oftentimes they're not there. And oftentimes if you do it
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: another way, it'll cause a delay. So when I made
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: the decision that Shaq was talking man, and I felt
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: so touched by his story. He lost the family family
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: trying to be great. I know what that feels like.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: And I but and a young man came to me
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: recently about leaving his family to pursue his dream. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I told him, I said, look, man, you can do that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I said, you can go on and do that. I said,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I did it. I said, well, I want you to
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: understand something. If your decision affects other people, and you
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: don't put the other people into consideration in making that decision,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you're gonna pay for that. You're gonna pay for that,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: but you don't know that at the time because at
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the time it seems like the right thing to do.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: So when you make the decision to move on, to
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: move up, to move forward, you got to consider all
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of the stuff. Now, here's the problem. Oftentimes when you
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: consider other people and you listen to them, they're gonna
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: discourage you, and it may even persuade you not to
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: even pursue it. Well, see, now we're at that crossroad,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: we at that problem. Well, you got to make a
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: decision to go anyway. And I just felt like that's
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: where I was at And oftentimes it is. But it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: a cost factor. You're not going to be successful without
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: paying the cost. You remember, I did a thing man
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: where I said, if you really really want to be really,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: really financially successful, you can forget to sleep in eight
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: hours a day. You can forget that all. But then
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: all of the scientists and the doctors say you need
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: eight hours sleep. True, your body would love to get
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: eight hours of sleep, But if what you're trying to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: accomplish or causes you to stay up late at night,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you got a decision to make. So then I had
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: people attacking me. Steve Harvey prefers wealth over health. No,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I'd love to be healthy, but I wanted to have
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: more also. So you gotta make a decision, and the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: decision gonna cost. I'm paying for the way I've lived
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: now with some health issues, from some late nights, some
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: long hours, some grinding. I'm paying now for that. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: grind it so long, so hard. As I approached seventy,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: my body went, hey, man, I'm tired. I had enough
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: of that. Now it comes with the cost. There is
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: no free You don't get to be this without giving
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: up that. You don't get to have that without giving
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: up this. It does not work that way. Show me
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: who can be successful and keeping half everything. You can
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: do that after you get it. But on the way,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Oh no, sir, Oh no, sir. Now, women out there
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: who have had children who had to leave them with
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: somebody else so they could pursue the dreams and give
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: them a life that they never had. The kids don't
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: even appreciate that. I'd suffer through all of that. Y'all.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Hang in there. You gotta make the decision to do
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the best thing, and it might be the best thing
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: for everybody. Right now. But if it's gonna be the
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: best thing in the long run, then you gotta make
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the decision for the long run, because you're gonna be
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: the long run. It's coming, it's here now, it's about now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I have a great day to day. Talk to God today.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Would absolutely love to hear from them.
