- 0:01Speaker 1: I'm a Rocky fan, but this is gonna trip you out.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I actually got hills. I was reading about you and
- 0:08Speaker 1: prepping because I've known about you for a long time,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and like, I gotta have something in common.
- 0:13Speaker 2: With this dude, right, I gotta have something in common
- 0:15Speaker 2: with him.
- 0:16Speaker 1: And so Sli's a friend of mine too, now, which
- 0:19Speaker 1: is really weird. But I'm a Rocky fan, but I'm
- 0:22Speaker 1: really a Rocky one fan. But not only am I
- 0:25Speaker 1: a Rocky one fan. I've watched the fourteenth round.
- 0:29Speaker 2: See my childs are coming.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I've watched the fourteenth round of the Rocky one movie.
- 0:35Speaker 1: I'll venture to say I can't count them, but it's
- 0:37Speaker 1: gotta be more of than a thousand times in my life.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And so when I was a little boy and all
- 0:42Speaker 1: the turmoil in my life and the dysfunction in my family,
- 0:45Speaker 1: the things I wanted to achieve, I learned to visualize
- 0:48Speaker 1: in my life by watching Rocky. That was my visualization,
- 0:53Speaker 1: the fitness part of training, the overcoming stuff. There's just
- 0:56Speaker 1: this little part of me that's like a little mini
- 0:59Speaker 1: Rocky in there.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I love working out.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It's and for me, it was the way he would
- 1:03Speaker 1: take punishments at the end of the fourteenth when he.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Goes cut me Mick, and Mick cuts him right.
- 1:08Speaker 1: So they're gonna think we're both just crazy.
- 1:10Speaker 2: But what have you watched that a couple of times?
- 1:13Speaker 2: And what if what did it do for you?
- 1:15Speaker 1: I just want to finish on this because like this
- 1:18Speaker 1: taught me to visualize and dream. There were no my
- 1:20Speaker 1: family's not like years, but there's no dreaming or visualizations
- 1:25Speaker 1: or motivation or go do something special.
- 1:28Speaker 2: It was nothing like that.
- 1:29Speaker 1: In my house. I had Rocky and mainly Rocky One.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I love them all, but like the Rocky three, running
- 1:36Speaker 1: on the beach scene, all that. But Rocky won fourteenth
- 1:38Speaker 1: round at least a thousand times? What about you?
- 1:41Speaker 3: No shit?
- 1:43Speaker 2: At least twenty thousand Why is that?
- 1:47Speaker 4: Yes, I've dissected that two minutes in some seconds, two
- 1:54Speaker 4: minutes and thirteen fourteen fifteen.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Seconds at least twenty thousand times.
- 1:59Speaker 2: I had to pull up record and I finally broke it.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Took it three times, yep, did.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Four thy thirty and seventeen hours. I listened to one
- 2:08Speaker 4: song for seventeen hours and it was going the distance
- 2:14Speaker 4: two minutes and thirteen something fourteen seconds.
- 2:17Speaker 2: On a loop on a loop. But first the guy,
- 2:19Speaker 2: this guy named Nandor. He kept playing out loud for everybody,
- 2:24Speaker 2: and I brought my own little iPad. I don't ever
- 2:26Speaker 2: listen to music, but I was failing so many times
- 2:29Speaker 2: at this record. I had to go to that place.
- 2:32Speaker 4: So I said, you know, I don't want to bore
- 2:33Speaker 4: you all anymore with this same song because I had
- 2:35Speaker 4: I had a crew of people that are filming it,
- 2:37Speaker 4: you know, because they had to be documented. So I
- 2:40Speaker 4: didn't want them to be there for seventeen hours listening
- 2:42Speaker 4: to the same song kind of it born.
- 2:44Speaker 3: So I put in my ears listen to the whole time.
- 2:47Speaker 3: But I'm gonna step further in that round.
- 2:50Speaker 4: When Rocky gets knocked down and Mickey's saying stay down,
- 2:54Speaker 4: stay down, and he's getting up, Apollo Creed things that
- 2:57Speaker 4: he knocked him out, so thing called taking souls.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Okay, And when you see Apollo Creed turns around, arms
- 3:06Speaker 2: in the air, I forgot him.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Do you see when he turns around and he sees
- 3:12Speaker 4: because he Apollo Creed knows I was fucking this dude up.
- 3:17Speaker 4: He kept coming after me and I finally knocked him down.
- 3:21Speaker 4: When he turns around and looks at Rocky, and he
- 3:24Speaker 4: says and watches him get up, and Rocky gets his gloves.
- 3:27Speaker 2: And moses him to come to him.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Apollo puts his head down and just goes like this,
- 3:35Speaker 4: it's not so much.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Rocky getting up that's big for me.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Apollo Creed's face.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Became every motherfucker that verbally and nonverbally looked at me.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Cause you know that look they give you when you
- 3:52Speaker 2: think that.
- 3:53Speaker 4: You know, they may not tell you you're piece of
- 3:55Speaker 4: you nobody, but they look at you almost like your
- 3:58Speaker 4: poor thing.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I got them all. I got them all on that for.
- 4:03Speaker 4: You know that that little will you have with everybody's
- 4:06Speaker 4: name on it and phone numbers, I got them all.
- 4:08Speaker 4: That motherucker in my head now I spend that bitch
- 4:10Speaker 4: every motherfucking day. And I know right now, whether you
- 4:16Speaker 4: hate me love me. I'm a dick, I'm a this,
- 4:18Speaker 4: I'm a dad. Whatever you want to think, I made it.
- 4:24Speaker 4: And I know all of you motherfuckers are looking just
- 4:27Speaker 4: like a Pollo Creed did because I just kept getting
- 4:30Speaker 4: then all I wanted people to do.
- 4:32Speaker 2: In my life.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I don't kept out the money, I don't care about
- 4:36Speaker 3: the in fame.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I don't care if I don't care if all my
- 4:38Speaker 2: followers go away tomorrow.
- 4:41Speaker 4: I wanted a lot of people that doubted me to
- 4:45Speaker 4: look like Apollo Creed did in that fourteenth round, because
- 4:48Speaker 4: I got back up repeatedly. And when you keep on
- 4:51Speaker 4: getting back up like that, no matter how strong the
- 4:54Speaker 4: person is, that's beating the shit out of you.
- 4:56Speaker 2: They eventually look at.
- 4:59Speaker 4: You and say, you know what, I'm tired, and I
- 5:02Speaker 4: just want people to be tired.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Just be tired.
- 5:06Speaker 3: I want to make you tired because I just continue.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So that's what that movie did to me.
- 5:11Speaker 3: That movie changed how I looked at life.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Me too, it did.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Let me give you the best of ancient script. Here's
- 5:20Speaker 5: what it is. Whatever your hand's fine to do, do
- 5:24Speaker 5: it with all your might, do it with all your strength,
- 5:27Speaker 5: and do it with.
- 5:28Speaker 2: All your power. What a good philosophy.
- 5:31Speaker 5: That kind of philosophy revolutionize your life if you haven't
- 5:34Speaker 5: picked it up.
- 5:34Speaker 6: Like study yourself, make yourself better.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Don't worry about what anybody else is doing. Learn from her.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Don't change who you are to become somebody else.
- 5:42Speaker 6: Think about the time that you spend in your life
- 5:45Speaker 6: trying to be somebody you're not. If you put that
- 5:48Speaker 6: time and effort and energy into being who you were
- 5:52Speaker 6: and who you are, how much farther along would you
- 5:55Speaker 6: be in life?
- 5:58Speaker 7: Marcus Aurelia says, your only, folks, this should be on
- 6:02Speaker 7: getting better at what you're doing. Focus on what you're doing.
- 6:05Speaker 7: Get better at what you're doing. Everything else is a
- 6:08Speaker 7: complete waste of time.
- 6:09Speaker 8: I challenge anybody to do the following. Take four subjects sales, negotiation,
- 6:14Speaker 8: human nature, and money for topics, read every book on
- 6:17Speaker 8: negotiation above four hundred reviews on Amazon that's pour plus star.
- 6:21Speaker 8: Read any book that's about four star, twenty five of them.
- 6:24Speaker 8: Four hundred reviews on sales. Read any book on human nature, psychology, persuasion, negotio,
- 6:29Speaker 8: any of that stuff, force like how to win, for instance,
- 6:31Speaker 8: and know all that stuff. Then read any book on
- 6:33Speaker 8: money with four hundred plus reviews. Read principles like things
- 6:36Speaker 8: like that by Dalio, by Buffett, and for two years
- 6:39Speaker 8: obsess over doing that. For two years, you do it.
- 6:42Speaker 2: You come back to me, nothing changed.
- 6:43Speaker 8: I'll fund the whole cost that you had here. From
- 6:45Speaker 8: a matter of fact, you won't even come back to
- 6:47Speaker 8: me because you forgot about it. Because you're killing the marketplace.
- 6:50Speaker 8: The market rewards people who outwork and out improve.
- 6:53Speaker 9: It's proven the universe doesn't give you what you want.
- 6:55Speaker 9: The universe gives you who you are. People miss on
- 6:58Speaker 9: the standback. They think the law of a try action
- 7:00Speaker 9: is being obsessed with what you want. But know if
- 7:03Speaker 9: you want something, it doesn't mean you're going to get it.
- 7:05Speaker 9: The universe will reflect to you what you are, and
- 7:08Speaker 9: Beckwit calls this the law of resonance. So you've got
- 7:11Speaker 9: to become that which you seek to be. Now, lofty
- 7:16Speaker 9: questions works because it's actually getting you there. So when
- 7:20Speaker 9: you ask a question such as why do I have
- 7:22Speaker 9: to fit muscular body of an athlete, you're tricking your
- 7:25Speaker 9: subconscious by shifting your identity, and you will find that
- 7:28Speaker 9: the universe will start to reflect that. If you ask
- 7:30Speaker 9: yourself a question, why am I so kind and compassionate
- 7:32Speaker 9: to everyone around me? Or why do I only eat
- 7:36Speaker 9: healthy foods? Or why am I so brilliant at being
- 7:41Speaker 9: an entrepreneur, you're shifting your identity at a fundamental level,
- 7:45Speaker 9: almost like self diagnosis, and the universe will start to
- 7:48Speaker 9: reflect that, and your life will start accelerating and changing
- 7:51Speaker 9: at a really rapid pace. This is actually the most
- 7:54Speaker 9: effective manifesting technique I know. But if you sit down
- 7:57Speaker 9: and you hope, and you hope, and you try to
- 7:59Speaker 9: focus your mind and one thing over and over and over again,
- 8:01Speaker 9: doesn't mean you're going to get.
- 8:02Speaker 5: That, because if you don't, here's what happens. We call
- 8:05Speaker 5: it the law of diminishing intents. We intend to when
- 8:11Speaker 5: the idea strikes us. So we intend to when the
- 8:12Speaker 5: emotion is high. But now if you don't translate that
- 8:15Speaker 5: into action fairly soon, now the intent starts to diminish, diminish, diminished,
- 8:19Speaker 5: and a month from now it's cold. A year from
- 8:21Speaker 5: now can't be found. So act, set up a discipline.
- 8:26Speaker 5: When the emotions are high and the idea is strong
- 8:28Speaker 5: and clear and powerful, that's the time to set up.
- 8:32Speaker 5: Somebody talks about good health and you're stirred, right, you
- 8:36Speaker 5: need to get a book on nutrition. Get the book
- 8:38Speaker 5: before the idea passes, and before before, before the emotion
- 8:41Speaker 5: gets cold. Go for the book, Start the library, Start
- 8:45Speaker 5: to cross this, fall on the floor, do some pushing action.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Gotta take action.
- 8:51Speaker 10: So the first million is hard, but the second million
- 8:54Speaker 10: is inevitable. It's not becoming a millionaire.
- 8:56Speaker 2: That's important.
- 8:57Speaker 10: It's the person that you must become. Order to become
- 9:01Speaker 10: a millionaire, you have to become a completely different person.
- 9:05Speaker 10: You have to develop character beyond ninety nine percent of
- 9:10Speaker 10: the people in the world. You have to develop honesty
- 9:13Speaker 10: and discipline and quality of relationships, and the willingness and
- 9:18Speaker 10: the ability to work and set priorities and all kinds
- 9:21Speaker 10: of stuff.
- 9:22Speaker 11: Work is more important to a man than woman. God
- 9:26Speaker 11: gave man work before he gave him woman. God didn't
- 9:31Speaker 11: make woman and tell man how to work. So the
- 9:36Speaker 11: most important thing that a man really needs is not woman,
- 9:42Speaker 11: it's work.
- 9:44Speaker 2: A woman can never make you a man. Work makes
- 9:49Speaker 2: you a man.
- 9:51Speaker 5: You might find it a little difficult, but hey, you
- 9:53Speaker 5: can't just read the easy stuff. Key phrase to add
- 9:57Speaker 5: here in parenthesis. Don't just read the easy stuf. You
- 10:00Speaker 5: won't grow, you won't change, you won't develop them tackle
- 10:05Speaker 5: the more difficult stuff. Reasons for doing well first is
- 10:13Speaker 5: personal reasons. Some people do well for recognition, some people
- 10:18Speaker 5: do well for respect. Some people do well for the
- 10:23Speaker 5: way it makes them feel. They love the feeling of
- 10:27Speaker 5: being a winner. Those are good reasons, and it's not
- 10:32Speaker 5: because they need the money. It's because they need the
- 10:37Speaker 5: joy and the satisfaction and the pleasure that comes from
- 10:42Speaker 5: being a constant winner. And see it's not just the
- 10:47Speaker 5: money anyway. It's the journey, not the money.
