  Speaker 14: feelings about that kind of shit.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: And let me say that kind of shit. So for
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: those soft people who.
• 5:20
  Speaker 12: May be listening to this, don't put.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Words in my mouth.
• 5:22
  Speaker 14: I'm not talking about the fucking familized shit.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: I'm talking about the grind, the fucking grind.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Your feelings have to go away.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Instead, they realized that I would never shirk responsibility and
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: I would never pass that heavy burgen of command down
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: the chain and onto them.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And you know what, they had the same attitude.
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: Unlike a team.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Where no one takes ownership of the problem and therefore
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: the problems never get solved. With us, everyone took ownership
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: of their mistakes. Everyone took ownership of the problems. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: when a team takes ownership of its problems, the problems
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: get solved. And that is true on the battlefield. It
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: is true in business, and it is true in life.
• 6:31

• 6:35

• 6:38
  Speaker 13: won't give you no shot.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: You got a chance. Use it while you're still alive.
• 6:44
  Speaker 17: You don't know what death is, You have no idea
• 6:47
  Speaker 17: what death is.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Make a decision, all right.
• 6:54
  Speaker 15: I think you would give me everything you own in
• 6:58
  Speaker 15: twenty five years time to be the age you are
• 7:01
  Speaker 15: now and as healthy as you are right now. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 15: I think it's a really interesting meditation to think about.
• 7:10
  Speaker 15: Right if you had a time machine, if you were
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: thirty years in the future, if you could be this
• 7:14
  Speaker 15: healthy and feel this good and be this age you

• 11:06
  Speaker 20: of something, when you feel that way, yeah, you can
• 11:10
  Speaker 20: override anyone else's nay say, or what your limitations were, because,
• 11:14
  Speaker 20: by the way limitations, most limitations or somebody without belief
• 11:19
  Speaker 20: and excuses are created because someone needs them. In here,
• 11:24
  Speaker 20: there's no limitations, there's no excuses, just sweat equity.
• 11:30
  Speaker 16: Hey, dog, you do realize that this could be a
• 11:32
  Speaker 16: year that you change your life if you just lock
• 11:34
  Speaker 16: in a hold three hundred and sixty five days ago,
• 11:36
  Speaker 16: day in and day out, towards your goals with no distractions.
• 11:39
  Speaker 16: We're hearing the excuses no more. Your future is tired
• 11:41
  Speaker 16: of that. Twenty twenty four should be an apology toward
• 11:44
  Speaker 16: or all the beers that you did last year. Lock

  Speaker 16: in and change your life like their life depends on it,
• 11:50
  Speaker 16: because they do.
• 11:51
  Speaker 13: Being ashamed one of the biggest things that kill people
• 11:53
  Speaker 13: nowadays in their minds, kill them from moving forward.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I'm ashamed of myself.
• 11:57
  Speaker 21: Do it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 13: Never be ashamed of anything you've done in your life.
• 12:00
  Speaker 13: Face it, fix it, make it better. We are humans.
• 12:03
  Speaker 13: But then again, if you always think that we're humans,
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: you will always just be a human and always make
• 12:10
  Speaker 13: the same mistakes. You must take this knowledge that you
• 12:13
  Speaker 13: learn from all this shit is knowledge. So I'm just
• 12:15
  Speaker 13: trying to give people that strength to go in the
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: archives of your life, because while you're probably up, there's
• 12:21
  Speaker 13: probably something happened to you in your life.
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: The first thing I need you to do for me
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: because you can do this, all right, you can do it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: It's not about hear me out, It's not about making excuses.
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: It's about making adjustments. Hear what I'm telling you. It's
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: not about excuses.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: We all have them.
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: We all got some good reasons for why we're not
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: doing what we're supposed to do.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: But listen to me. Don't make excuses, make adjustments.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: We don't have no excuses.
• 12:49

  Speaker 26: Leadership dies in the face of excuses. Defensiveness might feel
• 14:48
  Speaker 26: natural when things go wrong, but it is the enemy
• 14:52
  Speaker 26: of progress because you can either project your ego or
• 14:55
  Speaker 26: build trust, but you cannot both own them. Excuse to
• 15:01
  Speaker 26: destroy accountability builds.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Still, which one are you choose?
• 15:07
  Speaker 23: You guys have heard of this, the second win mentality
• 15:10
  Speaker 23: of life.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: You got the second wind?
• 15:12
  Speaker 23: Well, the problem is most people, when they go on
• 15:16
  Speaker 23: or run, they never exalt their first win. They never
• 15:20
  Speaker 23: go to the extreme to the level fatigued where the
• 15:23
  Speaker 23: first win expires, where they realize that even a second
• 15:25
  Speaker 23: win to begin with. They sit there and make excuses
• 15:28
  Speaker 23: here and excuses there. There is no excuse not being
• 15:30
  Speaker 23: the hardest worker.
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, someone might be bigger, stronger, faster, or quicker, younger,
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: whatever else, But there is no excuse cannot be the
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: hardest worker there. And when you believe that you had
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: the ability to do something, that the light that you're
• 15:45
  Speaker 10: living right now is going down this direction.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: You can hate where it is. There is nothing else
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: to do but the change direction. I believe that I
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: cannot go that way anymore, I gotta.
• 15:55
  Speaker 13: Go this way.
• 15:56
  Speaker 27: We have no valid excuses. And this is not me
• 15:59
  Speaker 27: saying that you haven't had it hard. This is not
• 16:01
  Speaker 27: me saying that you don't.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Have real gripes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 27: But the reality is those gripes create a tremendous story
• 16:08
  Speaker 27: on the back end when you succeed in spite of them.
• 16:13
  Speaker 27: I'm saying that everything great that you've ever looked at
• 16:15
  Speaker 27: and your entire life was built by tired people. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 27: if you want to be one of the great people
• 16:19
  Speaker 27: that builds amazing things, you're gonna have to do so
• 16:21
  Speaker 27: tired as well.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That is the way it works.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Are you tired?
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Are you tired right now?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I bet you are a little tired.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: That's normal. But guess what you can do.
• 16:30
  Speaker 27: You could still act, you could still execute, you could
• 16:33
  Speaker 27: still work, and you could still be successful. In fact,
• 16:36
  Speaker 27: working when you're tired is what is going to make
• 16:39
  Speaker 27: you successful. So fuck off with this bullshit.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: About how tired you are.
• 16:43
  Speaker 27: Nobody cares, and nothing great was ever achieved.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: Without of it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 27: It's a part of the recipe. Being tired is a
• 16:51
  Speaker 27: part of the success recipe, So get used to it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 13: I figured out all these negative things in my life
• 16:56
  Speaker 13: that are keep me in this hole.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: Tell people man that hang on a second man, you
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: can achieve the absolute impossible. You'll need great parents, You'll
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: need like a private school. You don't need to have
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: this humongous GPA and all third shit. What you need
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: is the one thing I talked on my book, which
• 17:16
  Speaker 13: is straight up brutal work ethic.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: You have to be willing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: To outwork everybody in the world and that that's the
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: hard part.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: That's the hard part.
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: This is like some five step process where you can
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: do these five steps, you're gonna end up with this
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: magical world. No, I'm basically teaching you how to callous
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: over your victim's mentality. I'm teaching you how to, like
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: I did sixty seven thousand pull ups in training for
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: the pull up, work.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: That pain you feel.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: That's a payment success. You must be willing.
• 17:56
  Speaker 23: To shoulder that pain get the success.
• 18:00
  Speaker 24: The success is something that's a very lonely path in
• 18:04
  Speaker 24: this world, because few are willing to make that down
• 18:06
  Speaker 24: payment of pain for that futurement of success that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Better than life. Very few are.
• 18:10
  Speaker 24: And when you get the success, what comes with that
• 18:13
  Speaker 24: is many many that love you for the majority will
• 18:16
  Speaker 24: hate you for it because your success is a spot
• 18:20
  Speaker 24: like chining down when they're missed opportunities where they came
• 18:23
  Speaker 24: up short, where they didn't quite have it inside and
• 18:25
  Speaker 24: they never went back to revisit it, where failure is
• 18:27
  Speaker 24: what stood instead of improving failure for success.
• 18:31
  Speaker 19: Failure is part of the recipe for success. You fail
• 18:35
  Speaker 19: a thousand currents for succeed. Every single person has. It's
• 18:39
  Speaker 19: a losers that fail once and quit. Every winner has
• 18:43
  Speaker 19: done failed. The loser and the winner voth failed. It's
• 18:46
  Speaker 19: just that the winner get that government does it again
• 18:49
  Speaker 19: very lonely. Rose successes know that going into.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: That, but it's the only road that will lead to
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: a life of amendments.
• 18:56
  Speaker 27: Most people never succeed in life because they're waiting for
• 18:59
  Speaker 27: condition to be perfect. They're waiting for the sun to shine,
• 19:03
  Speaker 27: the temperature to be right, all the stars to align,
• 19:06
  Speaker 27: and then have some sort of sign that tells them
• 19:10
  Speaker 27: to go. And I'm here to tell you guys, that
• 19:12
  Speaker 27: will never happen. Conditions will never be perfect, things will
• 19:15
  Speaker 27: never align. There will always be a reason for you
• 19:18
  Speaker 27: to put off what should be done right now for
• 19:21
  Speaker 27: a later time. In today's environment, no one likes to
• 19:24
  Speaker 27: talk about winners and losers, and everybody likes to pretend
• 19:27
  Speaker 27: like everybody's the same, but they're not. Winners are gonna
• 19:31
  Speaker 27: go regardless of what the circumstances are, and losers are
• 19:35
  Speaker 27: always gonna wait until the perfect time, And you understand
• 19:39
  Speaker 27: that the perfect time will never come, which is why
• 19:41
  Speaker 27: they never become anything real. If you would just remove
• 19:45
  Speaker 27: your emotions and your self pity for a minute and
• 19:47
  Speaker 27: actually look at the mother you're.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Winning, you would find out how to win too. And
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: it's real simple.
• 19:51
  Speaker 27: Change a couple little things, bro, You could change your
• 19:54
  Speaker 27: whole life. By changeing what you put in your brain
• 19:56
  Speaker 27: and what you put in your mouth. You could change
• 19:58
  Speaker 27: your whole for your life.
• 20:00
  Speaker 28: All of us are off work today celebrating the man
• 20:03
  Speaker 28: you far from equality for all, Well.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: We've a long, long, long way to go.
• 20:10
  Speaker 28: But this world isn't fair. It's fair enough. I see
• 20:16
  Speaker 28: a lot of blacks, whites, women, lesbians out here at
• 20:20
  Speaker 28: grinding getting after very successful, so my shr excuse. I
• 20:26
  Speaker 28: see a lot of thinker pointing tellings of people playing
• 20:30
  Speaker 28: with other people for different shit.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: One big thing is this fear.
• 20:35
  Speaker 28: Fear keeps a lot of mother firs from being successful.
• 20:40
  Speaker 28: It keeps you making excuses for yourself.
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: Fear lives one.
• 20:44
  Speaker 28: Place, the mother places only, and that's in your mind.
• 20:47
  Speaker 28: Martina King had a trained don't let fear tours up.
• 20:54
  Speaker 17: Stay hard.
• 20:55
  Speaker 27: I'm trying to tell you that being tired is part
• 20:58
  Speaker 27: of the fucking game. Okay, so it's not a valid excuse.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: It's normal, it's a.
• 21:03
  Speaker 27: Constant, it's part of being human. And if you want
• 21:06
  Speaker 27: to be a high achiever, guess what, you're gonna have
• 21:09
  Speaker 27: to acclimate yourself to being tired way more than you're
• 21:12
  Speaker 27: not tired. Successful people understand this, guy. Successful people do
• 21:17
  Speaker 27: not use tired as an excuse. In fact, they understand
• 21:21
  Speaker 27: that if they push through the tired, everybody else stops
• 21:25
  Speaker 27: when they're tired, and so by pushing through the tired,
• 21:28
  Speaker 27: you actually create a gap between you and everybody else
• 21:31
  Speaker 27: that you're competing with. And here's another thing that happens
• 21:34
  Speaker 27: when you're tired. Because no one else ever pushes through
• 21:37
  Speaker 27: when they're tired, and because you're someone that always pushes
• 21:39
  Speaker 27: through when you're tired, you learn this unique skill set
• 21:43
  Speaker 27: that allows you to operate at a high level when
• 21:45
  Speaker 27: you're tired.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Douse.
• 21:47
  Speaker 29: Just be the best version of yourself and anything that
• 21:49
  Speaker 29: you do. You don't have to live anybody else's story.
• 21:54
  Speaker 29: Sometimes people make it seem like you have to have
• 21:56
  Speaker 29: certain prerequisites or a crazy life story in order to
• 22:00
  Speaker 29: be successful in this world. But the truth is you
• 22:03
  Speaker 29: really don't.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter where you.
• 22:05
  Speaker 29: Come from, whether you have or don't have, what you lack,
• 22:11
  Speaker 29: what you have too much of. But all you need
• 22:14
  Speaker 29: to have is faith in God and undying passion for
• 22:17
  Speaker 29: what you do or what you choose to do in
• 22:20
  Speaker 29: this life, and a relentless drive and the will to
• 22:24
  Speaker 29: do whatever it takes to be successful and whatever you
• 22:26
  Speaker 29: put your mind to.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: And what do you have to lose?
• 22:29
  Speaker 20: You know the outcome if you continue the same shit.
• 22:32
  Speaker 30: Why not just commit one time in your life to something,
• 22:35
  Speaker 30: see what happens. There are no losers, and the word
• 22:41
  Speaker 30: in the world of passionate commitment to something, no one loses.
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: There.
• 22:46
  Speaker 23: The losers are the people that sit in the starting
• 22:49
  Speaker 23: line and never initiate.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: And why are you doing this?
• 22:55
  Speaker 31: Workout how you start to hit that adversity in real life?
• 22:59
  Speaker 31: People with far less ability than you and I felt
• 23:03
  Speaker 31: the same exact pain and continued on and those.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: People are the role models that we all aspired be.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: They were never given that status.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: They earned that status.
• 23:16
  Speaker 31: They believe that so much, and they far less potentially
• 23:19
  Speaker 31: than you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: You're not going to score on every shot. Doesn't mean
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: you shouldn't take the shots, doesn't mean you shouldn't.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: Try to hit the goal.
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: But part of being able to continue to take shots
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: is to have the strength of character to tolerate the
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: fact that that in that instance you weren't on top.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: The chronic excuse maker, how do you stop making excuses?
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: This is actually pretty simple, and I said it the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: other day, and you have to realize, you have to know,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you have to accept that all your excuses are lies.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: They are lies, all of them. Think about the things
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that you tell yourself, the lies you use to rationalize
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: taking the easy road, taking the easy road, and leaving
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: discipline behind. Think about them. You don't have time, that's
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: a lie.
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: You can understand Cain's point, you know, because people do
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: break themselves in half in life trying to struggle forward,
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: and they're not successes in their own eyes, and they're
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: rejected by other people, and it undermines their faith in
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: being itself. You can understand that. But you're called upon
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: to bring your best to the table, no matter what
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: happens to you, and to maintain your faith and your
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: courage and to aim up. There's no excuses your past trauma,
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: there's no excuses. Doesn't matter what it is.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: You don't know the best way, who cares? That's a lie?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Or you're too old or you're too young. Of course,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: you're too old or too young. Lie. And there's you're
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: too busy, Sure you are, that's a lie. And you're
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: too tired, or you're too sore, or you're just plain
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: not feeling it. Lies, lies, lies, and the list goes
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: on and on and on, and it doesn't stop if
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: you don't make it stop. So recognize, recognize the excuses
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: are not valid.
• 25:51
  Speaker 27: Now take this shit I'm telling you. Watch it over again,
• 25:55
  Speaker 27: think of it. Are you actually doing these things?
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Are these things that you are guilty of?
• 26:01
  Speaker 27: And if you are correct them, put the truth of
• 26:05
  Speaker 27: this podcast into action and go thing win. Most people
• 26:09
  Speaker 27: will never get past these three objections that they create
• 26:12
  Speaker 27: in their own mind. And if you can, you will
• 26:15
  Speaker 27: have a massive competitive advantage over the course of your
• 26:18
  Speaker 27: entire life over everybody else. And that's what we ultimately want.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: ever wanted from you.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: It's definitely not a friend.
• 26:28
  Speaker 32: It can seem like a friend, just like your friend
• 26:30
  Speaker 32: that keeps feeding you drinks at the bar can seem
• 26:33
  Speaker 32: like a friend.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: But are they really helping you in any way, shape
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: or form. No, they're not. They're not.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: So when your excuses make you feel a little bit
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: better about the fact that you didn't execute on what
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you need to execute on, then they can make you
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: feel better, but they're not helping you.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: They're not helping you at all.
• 26:53
  Speaker 27: This can wait till tomorrow is one of the most
• 26:55
  Speaker 27: effective lives the bitch voice uses. Why is this so
• 26:58
  Speaker 27: effective because it's it's not telling you to give up.
• 27:01
  Speaker 27: It's not saying, hey, bail out on your dreams. It's
• 27:04
  Speaker 27: just telling you to pause until tomorrow.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: It's not telling you to stop.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Working on your goals.
• 27:11
  Speaker 27: If it did that, you'd be alert to the bitch voice.
• 27:13
  Speaker 27: So it comes in real creepy light and it tells you, hey,
• 27:16
  Speaker 27: you did enough today. This can be done tomorrow. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 27: that sounds good when you're tired. That sounds good when
• 27:23
  Speaker 27: you're worn out, right, man, I have done a lot
• 27:25
  Speaker 27: with him. I know I didn't finish exactly what I'm
• 27:28
  Speaker 27: supposed to finished, but this can't actually wait tomorrow, okay.
• 27:33
  Speaker 27: And this is why it's so effective.
• 27:36
  Speaker 33: If you make yourself weak, life is very hard. If
• 27:40
  Speaker 33: you make yourself weak and you suffer stupidly because of it,
• 27:44
  Speaker 33: you will become bitter. And once you become bitter, you
• 27:47
  Speaker 33: will become vengeful. And after vengeful there is no limit.
• 27:51
  Speaker 33: So one of the things I learned from studying totalitarianism
• 27:54
  Speaker 33: in the twentieth century because I studied it from the
• 27:57
  Speaker 33: psychological perspective, the motivations of the cruel Auschwitz guard. What
• 28:02
  Speaker 33: was he up to or the person who went and
• 28:05
  Speaker 33: shot up the elementary school in Connecticut?
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: What was he up to?
• 28:09
  Speaker 33: Exactly just exactly where did he dwell?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: And why?
• 28:12
  Speaker 33: It's like, well, weakness made him suffer stupidly, and that
• 28:17
  Speaker 33: made him cruel. And that was just the beginning.
• 28:19
  Speaker 32: And you look around at your job and your financial situation,
• 28:23
  Speaker 32: and your relationship and your physical health. And when you
• 28:26
  Speaker 32: look at all those things and all the problems that
• 28:28
  Speaker 32: you may have with those things, and you say, the
• 28:31
  Speaker 32: reason I have all those problems, and a lot of
• 28:34
  Speaker 32: times our ego rejects that and makes excuses and lies,
• 28:38
  Speaker 32: and then we don't have to change anything.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: The ultimate mindset says that I will do the work
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: when I'm tired.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: I will do the work. Even if I'm sick. I
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: will do the work. Even if I didn't sleep well.
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: I will do the work, even if I don't feel
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: like it. I will do the work.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: If it's cold outside, I will do the work. If
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: it's too hot.
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: I will do the work if no one else wants
• 28:55
  Speaker 11: to do it with me, because I am driven by
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: purpose and while others are driven by pleasures and desires.
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: And it is that fork in the road that separates
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: the winners from the losers in life.
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: I want to do doctory on you because I will
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: have normal everyday people picking me apart.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: His life is miserable.
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: Who wants to live like that?
• 29:19
  Speaker 13: He looks, it's crazy how he's It's almost like he's sick.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: He's psychotic.
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: The most frustrating thing in the world for me is
• 29:25
  Speaker 13: when normal people judge a man like myself on what
• 29:29
  Speaker 13: it really takes to extract.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: They're conjured up, they're fabricated, they're lies. And how do
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: you stop the lies? You stop the lines with the truth,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the truth. The truth will set you free. The truth
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: will stand, and the truth will deliver you from procrastination
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and laziness and the downward spiral that comes with a
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: lack of discipline. The lies believe the truth, and the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: truth is you have time, you have the skill, You
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: have the knowledge and the support and the will power
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and the discipline to get it done. Cast out the lies,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: burn them down. So your box becomes so in excuses
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: when you blame something that you could have controlled, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: a reason is something that you have absolutely no control
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: over whatsoever. You know, you think, like a legit disease.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I mean sometimes people have, they just don't. You can't
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: control that it happens. But I think, and I think
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: this is the important part. I think that what you
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: will find, especially when you approach the world with an
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: attitude of extreme ownership, and that's that you're not going
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to make any excuses, you're not gonna blame it ounce
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: is that you actually have a lot more control over
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: things than you think you do.
• 30:55
  Speaker 13: Greatness from nothing, It takes every bit of who you are.
• 31:00
  Speaker 13: If you choose that route, if you don't merry Christmas.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Do what you gotta do.
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: But yeah, all these things for me, Like like I
• 31:09
  Speaker 13: told you, I'm gonna keep it real.
• 31:12
  Speaker 12: I'm not coming here to talk about like.
• 31:14
  Speaker 13: You know, perform without purpose because I go through when
• 31:19
  Speaker 13: I write these books, I go through, I try dumb down,
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: David Goddess, how can I give normal people?
• 31:27
  Speaker 12: And I'm normal, but I.
• 31:28
  Speaker 13: Found something that most don't want to find. How can
• 31:31
  Speaker 13: I speak to people and give them something from this
• 31:34
  Speaker 13: crazy psychotic brain that I've developed?
• 31:36
  Speaker 12: How can I give them that?
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: So I sit down with Jennifer for years and write
• 31:41
  Speaker 13: down perform without purpose, callous your mind, armor your mind,
• 31:47
  Speaker 13: the cookie jar, the account of billionaire shit that people
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: can and use in their lives.
• 31:52
  Speaker 22: Listening, are you proud of yourself with those bad habits?
• 31:56
  Speaker 13: Okay?
• 31:56
  Speaker 22: When the pain overrides the fear of change?
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: People change?
• 32:00
  Speaker 22: Why were you scared of changing? You don't believe you're possible?
• 32:03
  Speaker 34: That as possible.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Listen, you just gotta get through that shit.
• 32:07
  Speaker 22: I mean, that's just between you and you.
• 32:09
  Speaker 34: Listen.
• 32:10
  Speaker 22: Every day, you're gonna go to war with your old
• 32:12
  Speaker 22: self every day Until you don't, it's gonna be a
• 32:15
  Speaker 22: never ending war and I love it and I'm just
• 32:18
  Speaker 22: you know, it's just you just have to do listen,
• 32:21
  Speaker 22: like just do you like the way you're living? And
• 32:23
  Speaker 22: I mean like I'm not saying are you okay? Do
• 32:25
  Speaker 22: you have a good life? I'm saying like, are you
• 32:27
  Speaker 22: absolutely proud of who you are? And if you're not changing?
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Hard?
• 32:35
  Speaker 21: Is?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: It hurts your ego?
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: It hurts your ego.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: It hurts your ego to admit that you have control
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: over things that went wrong. That's that there. It's your
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: fault that hurts your ego. It's also effective because of that.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: It's effective because you solve problems, like I said, before
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: they even happen. You solve them because you take ownership
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: from them.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Every year, I get it, it'd be January in February.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: It probably took me about six years before we're every
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: single day and I realize something about who I was
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: as a man and who I was as a person.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: And I wasn't consistent right that I didn't follow through.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: That's what that book did for me. And so I
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: was like, you know what, one of these days.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have to read it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: You have to write a three hundred and sixty five
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: devotional so that people can read it every day and
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: learn about themselves. How dedicated can I be to this
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: small in fifteen minutes a day?
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: How dedicated can I be to this practice? How often
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: can I do this? Not make an excuse? Even if
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: I don't feel good? Can I still wake up and
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: dedicate this five or ten? And so for me, it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: can you do it for three hundred and sixty five days?
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: And when you can finally get to that point?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Man, It's just it's a total different experience.
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: It's either you have it or you don't.
• 33:47
  Speaker 35: That sounds like excuses to me. I mean, you gotta
• 33:49
  Speaker 35: figure it out right. If you really have an obsession
• 33:52
  Speaker 35: to figure it out, you will figure it out right.
• 33:54
  Speaker 35: And every puzzle is constructed differently. AI situation when he
• 33:58
  Speaker 35: came into the league was different than mine. My situation
• 34:00
  Speaker 35: in Chicago was different than Martin. All right, everybody has
• 34:03
  Speaker 35: a different puzzle.
• 34:04
  Speaker 34: Man.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: You just got to figure out your own puzzle.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: With things don't go my way?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: When?
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: When when with things don't go my way?
• 34:11
  Speaker 36: Do you flip back on all the reasons or anything
• 34:14
  Speaker 36: else that you can make an excuse out of. But
• 34:17
  Speaker 36: I'm gonna tell you this. If you're gonna win, there
• 34:20
  Speaker 36: can be zero excuses.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Zero.
• 34:24
  Speaker 23: Zero guys, zero as in zero.
• 34:28
  Speaker 36: You know what that means, own it all, own it, all, good, bad.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Everything, excuses.
• 34:37
  Speaker 37: There is no point in making excuses. Ever, there is
• 34:40
  Speaker 37: never a moment in time in my life where I
• 34:42
  Speaker 37: feel like an excuse is going to change the outcome
• 34:45
  Speaker 37: of something that's already happened. So I don't make excuses.
• 34:47
  Speaker 37: I hold myself accountable. I take responsibility nine out of
• 34:51
  Speaker 37: ten times, whether I did it or not. Pointing a finger,
• 34:54
  Speaker 37: making an excuse for why things didn't happen the way
• 34:57
  Speaker 37: you wanted them to have in is not going to
• 34:59
  Speaker 37: change anything. So I would much rather just fight the bullet,
• 35:03
  Speaker 37: take accountability, power through, not make anybody else feel bad,
• 35:07
  Speaker 37: not detract from progression.
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: And move on.
• 35:10
  Speaker 37: No excuses, no excuses, even if it's for yourself, No excuses.
• 35:14
  Speaker 37: That's a motto I'd like to stick to it.
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: Excuses.
• 35:18
  Speaker 37: We're designed for regression, not progression, So don't regress, stop
• 35:22
  Speaker 37: making excuses, and get after it.
• 35:24
  Speaker 29: Our team to prepare ourselves for you know this, this opportunity.
• 35:28
  Speaker 29: But really, all I'm focused on is the mindset. It's
• 35:32
  Speaker 29: it's hard to get to the top. It's hard to
• 35:34
  Speaker 29: win championships, it's even harder to stay there. It's all
• 35:37
  Speaker 29: about the group that you go to work with every day,
• 35:39
  Speaker 29: the people that on your right and you're left and
• 35:42
  Speaker 29: holding yourself accountable to each other. And at the end
• 35:45
  Speaker 29: of the day, we know this isn't gonna last forever,
• 35:48
  Speaker 29: but we're gonna enjoy the ride until until it ends,
• 35:52
  Speaker 29: and we're gonna treat every day as much integrity as
• 35:54
  Speaker 29: we can.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: And I think that's what's made.
• 35:56
  Speaker 29: Successful and hopefully we'll keep us, you know, right where
• 35:58
  Speaker 29: we are for as boness we can be.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, think about this.
• 36:01
  Speaker 38: Steve Jobs was in his twenties and teens when he started,
• 36:04
  Speaker 38: Bill Gates, Mark Cuban, Kylie Jenner. You taw any entrepreneur
• 36:08
  Speaker 38: bits out there today that you know pretty well? Both
• 36:10
  Speaker 38: of them started young. Jay Z started young, Lebron James
• 36:13
  Speaker 38: started young. Why is it that you can't start young?
• 36:16
  Speaker 38: Steve Jobs did, I did? Cuban did, Bill Gates did?
• 36:19
  Speaker 38: All there's thousands of encours. In fact, the list of
• 36:22
  Speaker 38: billionaires in the country gets younger every single year, as
• 36:26
  Speaker 38: do the millionaires.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: You want to know why, because of these things?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Right here.
• 36:29
  Speaker 38: Technology, your phone, your iPad, social media allows people at
• 36:34
  Speaker 38: any age to win, including preteen and teenagers.
• 36:39
  Speaker 11: Stop making excuses, simple as that. You can make a
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: million excuses why you didn't work out this morning. You
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: can make a million excuses why you missed your wife's birthday,
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: you can miss you can make a million excuses why
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: you didn't get that raise, why you didn't take that
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: take that leap of faith. You can make a million excuses.
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: But you know, deep down inside and consciousness is eating
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: a wag you.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: That it's an excuse. It's not a reason, it's an excuse.
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: Stop making excuses, and when you stop making excuses, the
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: only alternative is then results. I'm not saying that everything
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: you do you should be successful at. You will have
• 37:16
  Speaker 11: periods of defeat, but that defeat will be temporary and
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: not permanent, because you will dust yourself off, get back
• 37:24
  Speaker 11: up and try again. But you first have to stop
• 37:27
  Speaker 11: making excuses in order to achieve the higher level of
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: life that you want.
• 37:32
  Speaker 22: Dude, I watch people when they walk and I'm like,
• 37:35
  Speaker 22: that guy's holding his wife's hand, I'm pelfection easy with
• 37:37
  Speaker 22: her at dinner, and then I'll just go do that
• 37:39
  Speaker 22: at dinner, like I.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Will just mirror anything.
• 37:42
  Speaker 34: It's called modeling improving practices when someone's doing something that works.
• 37:45
  Speaker 34: And by the way, my deal is, I'm not going
• 37:47
  Speaker 34: to reason with some bullshit. Do listening people are the
• 37:52
  Speaker 34: biggest victims now they say that, Yeah, self salvatages.
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: But you don't understand.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Do you shut your mouth?
• 37:59
  Speaker 22: That's like, so when we talked about addictions, like my
• 38:02
  Speaker 22: mom's an alcoholic, right, she's a loser.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Well, does that mean I'm going to be an alcoholic?
• 38:07
  Speaker 22: What if your dad beat the hell out of you
• 38:09
  Speaker 22: when you're a kid, are you going to go beat
• 38:10
  Speaker 22: the shut of your kid?
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: Don't be an idiot.
• 38:13
  Speaker 22: If you're doing something right now that doesn't align with
• 38:16
  Speaker 22: like who you want.
• 38:17
  Speaker 34: To be and your identity, you fix it now.
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: And if you don't fix.
• 38:21
  Speaker 22: It, I'm going to tell you this, it just means
• 38:23
  Speaker 22: that your average.
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: However, I'm going to change that narrative.
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: I'm going to rewrite my story and I'm going to
• 38:28
  Speaker 11: learn how money works, and I'm going to respect money.
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: I'm going to make more money. I'm not going to
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: let it control me. I'm going to use it to
• 38:34
  Speaker 11: multiply my wealth and to multiply the impact and influence
• 38:37
  Speaker 11: I have in the world.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be generous with it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: I'm going to be good with it, and I'm going
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: to teach my kids how to steward money.
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: I'm going to teach my kids how.
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: To grow wealth, have generational wealth, so that I can
• 38:47
  Speaker 11: finally break this curse of not understanding money.
• 38:52
  Speaker 39: Part of our message in this initiative is no excuses.
• 38:55
  Speaker 39: Government and private sector, and philanthropy and all the faith communities,
• 39:00
  Speaker 39: we all have a responsibility to help provide you the
• 39:02
  Speaker 39: tools you need. We've got to help you knock down
• 39:04
  Speaker 39: some of the barriers that you experience.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: That's what we're here for.
• 39:09
  Speaker 39: But you've got responsibilities too, and I know you can
• 39:12
  Speaker 39: meet the challenge.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Many of you already are if you make the effort.
• 39:16
  Speaker 39: It may be hard, but you will have to reject
• 39:18
  Speaker 39: the cynicism that says the circumstances of your birth or
• 39:22
  Speaker 39: society is lingering injustices necessarily.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Define you and your future.
• 39:27
  Speaker 39: It will take courage, but you will have to tune
• 39:29
  Speaker 39: out the naysayers who say that the deck is stacked
• 39:31
  Speaker 39: against you. You might as well just give up or
• 39:34
  Speaker 39: settle into the stereotype.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen overnight.
• 39:37
  Speaker 39: But you're gonna have to set goals and you're gonna
• 39:40
  Speaker 39: have to work for those goals.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Nothing will be given to you.
• 39:43
  Speaker 29: I don't really try to take myself too seriously at anything.
• 39:45
  Speaker 29: I mean, I try to have a no excuse lifestyle.
• 39:48
  Speaker 29: So no matter what how I'm feeling, whether I have
• 39:53
  Speaker 29: crazy energy, or I'm a little fatigued or sore or
• 39:57
  Speaker 29: dealing with an injury or whatever it is, I try
• 40:01
  Speaker 29: to find a way. There's always a way to kind
• 40:03
  Speaker 29: of shift and pivot and make sure that you know
• 40:05
  Speaker 29: I can I can still accomplish.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: The goal that I had set out.
• 40:08
  Speaker 29: So I'm not floating through every day, you know, just
• 40:10
  Speaker 29: feeling my best.
• 40:11
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 40:12
  Speaker 29: You know, at the end of the day. It depends
• 40:13
  Speaker 29: on my work ethic and my sense of perspective.
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: But I'm either gonna use that as an excuse, right,
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: and we talked about that number three, stop making excuses,
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: or I'm gonna go all right. I had a bad
• 40:24
  Speaker 11: relationship with money. We didn't talk about money. We always
• 40:27
  Speaker 11: ran out of money before we ran out a month. However,
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna change that narrative. I'm gonna rewrite my story,
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: and I'm gonna learn how money works. And I'm gonna
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: respect money. I'm gonna make more money. I'm not gonna
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: let it control me. I'm gonna use it to multiply
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: my wealth.
• 40:41
  Speaker 8: I woke up one day and stop making excuses. I
• 40:44
  Speaker 8: woke up one day and stop playing the blame game.
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: I woke up one.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Day and looked at.
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: The man, and the man was like, Yo, bro, what
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: are you doing?
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Wake up?
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: It's show time.
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: Let's go, let's go, let's go. Come on, Eric, Come on, Eric, what.
• 41:02
  Speaker 8: Are you doing with a real Eric Thomas?
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: Please stand up, get out.
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: But I want to eliminate every excuse and every barrier
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: that you have put in front of you so that
• 41:11
  Speaker 11: I can force you, shepherd you, guide you into the
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: year twenty twenty three. And here's why. Because I know
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: that when you level up and become two point zero,
• 41:19
  Speaker 11: that you will begin to look for your sovereignty.
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: You will look for freedom. You will disconnect from the system.
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: You will no longer become obedient to the opposition, you
• 41:29
  Speaker 11: will no longer be susceptible to the brainwashing. But so
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: that you were not dependent on the man, you are
• 41:35
  Speaker 11: not dependent on the system. You are no longer a
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: docile weaking, which is how they see you because they
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: want to keep you broke, docile and dependent.
• 41:47
  Speaker 21: I just to be honest. I don't like excuses explanations.
• 41:53
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 41:53
  Speaker 21: My philosophy is to be perfect, to not answer on
• 41:58
  Speaker 21: questions why you did is, why you did that, and
• 42:02
  Speaker 21: have some excuses. I feel shamed if by trying to
• 42:07
  Speaker 21: explain you why I wasn't why I didn't.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Win this live.
• 42:11
  Speaker 21: Just I didn't win, and and that's it.
