  Speaker 1: Come on your bab uh huh, I sure will A
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice, Oh
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: come on now, dig me if you will. One and only,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show, you know, one of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the things about being successful. And I was sharing this
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: just the other day with a young man and he
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: asked me. He said, hey, man, I just don't see
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: how you get up that early in the morning. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: just don't see how, man, it would kill me to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: get up this early in the morning. Well, I sat
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: down and I'm listening to it because it's just a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: thousand times I've heard it, you know, and my life is,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you know, not too different from a lot of people's lives.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out there that rise early.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And I just sit there, man, because I mean, first
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of all, I'm grateful to be able to have a job.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I'm so grateful to be able to do one and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: several 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 and 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 ask
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it 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
• 1:33
  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 key
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: is a Christmas you know, take your family on vacation,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you know, a year, once a year. I don't know
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: nobody passing out to kind of money. So I get
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: up early in the morning. I get at it. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: was taught to get up early in the morning by
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: my father because my father says, ain't nothing gonna come
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to you while you lay in there, And you know what,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it's just true, man, it's just a little common sense. Look,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: old people smart, man, they've been around a long time.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You don't get old. You know some old foods out there,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but you know you don't have to deal with them.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But old people are pretty smart, man. They've learned a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lot along the way. And waking up early and getting
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: out it is one of them things. And I ask
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: everybody man to think about this scenario of your life.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: If a day has twenty four hours in it, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: let's just say you choose to sleep eight of those
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: hours because they tell you you need eight hours sleep,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: so you sleep eight hours. That's a third of your
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: life asleep. Already, just a third of your life is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: spent a sleep if you're gonna do eight hours today. Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: let's say you have a job that you work eight hours,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and it is not the job of your dreams. It's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: not your dream career, your dream profession. It's just the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: one you took, like all of us, to get it started.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And then, like all of us, some of us end
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: up having to state at because we've created these bills,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: because we checked and check, so we can't leave it
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because we'll lose what we've worked for. So let's just
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: say you got a job that you go to work
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to for eight hours. That's another third of your life.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: That's two thirds of your life. Feel how you want
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to feel about your two thirds? Well, I like sleep. Okay, cool,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: there's a scripture about that too. But now you spent
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: two thirds of your life one on a job you
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't care for if you're not happy that it, or
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: one that just pays the bills and it's not your
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: dream job or career. Another third of your life is sleep.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Oh now, let's hold on. Let's talk about the one
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: hour of preparation that it may take to get to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the job. That's seventeen hours. Let's say your drive time,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: let's say getting to your job for the average person
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: is anywhere between thirty to an hour. That's an average
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of what it takes to average person. Now, some people
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: out there hustling way harder than that. But let's just
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: say your average is an hour getting to work. You
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: add another hour to that going to work. You've now
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: spent eighteen hours out of the twenty four doing something
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that's either nonproductive, you're not happy with, you're not pleased about.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: It is not your dream job, it's not your dream profession.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And rest of the time you sleep eighteen hours. Now
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you got to come from the job, so let's just
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: say it's another hour to get back home. That's nineteen hours.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Nineteen hours out of a twenty four hour day. You
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: now have five hours left in your day. Oh, you
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: watch TV two hours a day. Okay, excuse me. Let's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: put now you put two hours of TV on that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you've just spent twenty one. You now have three hours
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in the day to do something super productive for the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: development of yourself and the future of your family, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: your future as a person and what you can for
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your family. Uh oh, I need to chill. I need
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to smoke one. Uh Oh, I needed some time at Happy.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I'll seem like all I do is dry to work
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and go to work. I'm gonna go out with the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: fellas drink one. Okay, let's say you spend two hours
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: at Happy. I don't know nobody go to a Happy Hours
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: yet for a hour. Let's say you spend two hours
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: at Happy, I'll all smoke in 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.
• 6:09
  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
• 6:25
  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
• 6:48
  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

• 7:20
  Speaker 1: time with your children, put something into them, Do something. Man,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: with 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
