  Speaker 1: Come on your uh huh, I sure will A good
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Oh, come
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: on now, digny if you will. One and only, Steve
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Harvey got a radio show, you know, one of the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: things about being successful. And I was sharing this just
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the other day with a young man and he asked me.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: He said, hey, man, I just don't see how you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: get up that early in the morning. I just don't
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: see how, man, it would kill me to get up
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this early in the morning. Well, I sat down and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to it because it's just a thousand times
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I've heard it, you know, and my life is, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: not too different from a lot of people's lives. There's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that rise early, and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I just sit there, man, because I mean, first of all,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful to be able to have a job. I'm
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: so grateful to be able to do one and several
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that I happened to enjoy doing. I mean, you know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it's work, and it's difficult at times, but I mean,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know I wanted this. You know you got it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You know you can't ask God for nothing, any give
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it to you, then be mad that you got it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Don't make no sense. You know. The problem with asking
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: God for stuff is a lot of times we asking
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for stuff, we don't really know what all it encompasses,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what all it really is. And I ask for this.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Now along the way, I've gotten far more than I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: asked for. I want you to do. Understand that, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you know that's His grace at work in my life.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But I get up early and I go to work
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because I do understand something that it is not walking
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: up to you. Nobody walks up to people normally and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: just hand them checks all the time, and enough checks
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to sustain your life, and not only sustain it, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to have a life that where you could enjoy and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: do some of the things you want to do. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: don't know the person that walks out hands out that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: money just to be doing it. And then with a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: lifestyle though, where you can you know, give your kids Christmas,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you know, take your family on vacation, you know, a year,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: once a year. I don't know nobody passing out to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: kind of money. So I get up early in the morning.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I get at it. I was taught to get up
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: early in the morning by my father because my father says,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: aint nothing gonna come to you while you lay in now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And you know what, it's just true, man, it's just
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a little common sense. Little old people smart man. They've
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: been around a long time. You don't get old. You
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: know some old foods out there, but you know you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: don't have to deal with them. But old people are
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: pretty smart, man. They've learned a lot along the way.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And waking up early and getting out it is one
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of them things. And I ask everybody man to think
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: about this scenario of your life. If a day has
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours in it, and let's just say you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: choose to sleep eight of those hours because they tell
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you you need eight hours sleep, so you sleep eight hours.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That's a third of your life asleep already, just a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: third of your life is spent asleep if you gonna
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: do eight hours. Now, let's say you have a job
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that you work eight hours, and it is not the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: job of your dreams. It's not your dream career, your
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: dream profession. It's just the one you took, like all
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of us, to get it started. And then, like all
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of us, some of us end up having to state
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that because we've created these bills, because we checked and check,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so we can't leave it because we'll lose what we've
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: worked for. So let's just say you got a job
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that you go to work to for eight hours. That's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: another third of your life. That's two thirds of your life.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Feel how you want to feel about your two thirds? Well,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I like sleep. Okay, cool, there's a scripture about that too.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But now you spent two thirds of your life one
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: on a job you don't care for if you're not
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: happy there, or one that just pays the bills and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: it's not your dream job or career. Another third of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: your life is sleep. Oh now, let's hold on. Let's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: talk about the one hour of preparation that it may
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: take to get to the job. That's seventeen hours. Let's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: say your drive time, let's say getting to your job
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for the average person is anywhere between thirty to an hour.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: That's an average of what it takes the average person. Now,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: some people out there hustling way harder than that. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: let's just say your average is an hour getting to work.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You add another hour to that going to work. You've
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: now spent eighteen hours out of the twenty four doing
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: something that's either nonproductive, you're not happy with you're not
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: pleased about. It is not your dream job, it's not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: your dream profession. And rest of the time you sleep
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: eighteen hours. Now you got to come from the job,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: so let's just say it's another hour to get back home.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: That's nineteen hours. Nineteen hours out of a twenty four
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hour day. You now have five hours left in your day.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Oh you watch TV two hours a day. Okay, excuse me.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Let's put now you put two hours of TV on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that you've just spent twenty one. You now have three
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: hours in the day to do something super productive for
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the development of yourself and the future of your family,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and your future as a person and what you can
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: for your family. Uh oh, I need to chill. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: need to smoke one. Uh Oh, I needed some time
• 5:09

• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to work and go to work. I'm gonna go out
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: with the fellas drink one. Okay, let's say you spend
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: two hours at Happy. Ill nobody go to a Happy

  Speaker 1: Hours just for a hour. Let's say you spend two
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: hours at Happy, I'll all smokeing all some video games.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Let's throw that in there. Two hours of smoking, chilling
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: video games that's twenty three hours of your day gone.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Don't you see how your day slips away from you?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So why would you get up early? You get up
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: early to get a jump. You get up early to produce,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to plan, to become productive. You get up early in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the morning to care about every single minute of your day.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You wake up early in the morning because you have
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a plan, a mission, You have something you want to accomplish.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The earlier you get up, the more time you have
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just for you to devote to your plan. You map
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: it out, you make them, send some emails, whatever it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is you need to do to get your dream under way.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Then you go get ready, Then you get in your
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: car and go to work. Then you go to your job,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: but on your job, instead of sitting at your lunch
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: break messing around with a bunch of people laughing and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: talking about nothing, playing dominoes, why don't you take that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: hour to do some more research, to send out some
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: more emails, to put some feelings out there, to see
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: what can get you in the place that you want
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to be. Then when you get off, instead of driving
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: straight home, why don't you go somewhere in a meeting,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You take in a session with some people in a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: positive mental state, group of people that get together network
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: for business, not drink at happy hour. I set network
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: for business. So after you've done that eight that you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: don't really care for on a job, you spend some
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: more time pursuing, looking into researching, working towards, sending out
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: some more applications, putting in some more time to build
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: your new app discussing some more networking ideas. Okay, that's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: your happy hour. Then when you go home, instead of chilling,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: drinking one, having a cold, one, smoking one, playing a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: video game, why don't you take that two hours and
• 7:13

  Speaker 1: family that you talk about, You really want spend some
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: time with your children, put something into them. Do something. Man,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: when all these precious hours that God gives all of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: us in the course of a day, take advantage of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: every minute of that. No human being has more than
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day, including myself. But if you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: care about every single minute of that day, you'll be
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: amazed at how much you could get accomplished in a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: twenty four hour day. But you can't get none of
• 7:47
