  Speaker 1: What is it that gives your life a sense of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: meaning and purpose? Because once you find that, it puts
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you in your power place. See, if you know what
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: your life work is, I encourage you to start working
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on it. If you can't do it all at one time,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: do just a little bit of it. And if you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is that you showed up to do,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: if you don't know why you're here, I encourage you
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to find out what your purpose is here? What is
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the meaning of your life? What will be different? Have
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you ever asked yourself that question? I've done that. I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: remember coming from a friends of my funeral and I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was reflecting on how much time I had left. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I went for a walk in a park thinking about
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: this guy whose life was so promising, and I mean
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: he wasn't an old guy, he was quite young in fact,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And I thought about all of the things that he
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: said he was going to do and he never got
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a chance to do those things. And I started thinking
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: about my own life and how much time I had
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: left to do the things that I would like to do.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And at that time, I wasn't sure what my life
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: purpose was, what my life's work was. I wasn't sure
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: about it at that time, and I thought about it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: quite a lot. I had some idea because I wasn't
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: convinced that. I don't think I felt worthy. I didn't
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: believe that it could be mean to do this kind
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of work that I'm doing right now. And I say
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to you that if you began to take a conscious
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: effort to find out what it is that you're supposed
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to do, I say that it can literally save your life.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you whatever it is you want to do
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a life you'll be able to do. You won't be
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: able to accomplish whatever you want to academically, financially, relationally,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: whatever it didn't want you to find out what you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: want single west out of your natural life, waking up
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and going after.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: What makes you a leader is you investing belief and
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: loving and caring about people. Any one of you in
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: this moment can decide you're gonna lead, because leadership is
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: instilling something in someone but they don't see in themselves,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: loving on them, believing them, seeing they're gifting as all
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: of you, I don't care if you're loud or quiet,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: big here or small gear you could be a leader.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: The bottom line is you need to decide you want
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to lead.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Interesting Bible phrase it is if you keep knocking, you'll
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: find open doors.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Good phrase to jut Dan.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: If you keep knocking, you'll find open doors, doors of opportunity,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: doors of a chance to meet someone, doors open for association,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: doors open to find someone special, doors open to find
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: a unique business colleague.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: If you keep knocking the door.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: The phrase is doors of opportunity open to those who
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: continually knock. Only those who knock.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Deserve to find a new one.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But the promise is if you continually knock, you'll find
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: doors about them.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Why is it that most people don't pursue their dreams
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that don't do better than what they're doing if they're
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: capable of doing it. I think that many of us.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Don't go the next step because we don't know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: What to do yet. And I say that the reason
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that we don't even explore the possibility of what to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: do is because subconsciously we don't believe that it can
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: happen for us, and we don't believe that we deserve it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Your dreams for the next three five thirty forty years,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: actually the rest of your life, your.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Dreams, you've got to keep dreaming.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan, President said to the Joint Session of Congress
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: a few weeks ago, the Republic is a dream, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: if we don't keep dreaming, we will lose the Republic.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Your better future is a dream for yourself and for
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: your family. Where do you want to go, What do
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: you want to do, what do you want to be?
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: What do you want to see? You've got to dream dreams.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: There's a Bible phrase that says, without dreams and visions.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: People perish.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: You've got to have something to go for it that
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: inspires the heart and the soul. Dream from the children
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: of Sanchez, it says, take the crumbs from starving soldiers,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: they won't die. Take the bread from hungry children, they
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: will cry. But without dreams, we all will die.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: You've got to dream.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Don't lose your dream.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: For yourself, for your future, for your family, the.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Dreams of love and enterprise and travel and doing things.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Becoming something unique on your journey here. Don't lose your dreams.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Do some dreaming. That's long range goals. Got to have those.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: So that's number one.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So here's what I'm suggesting. How much time do you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: spend working on you? How much time do you spend
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: every day working on your dream? And the last ninety days,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: how many books have you read? And the last year,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: what new skill or knowledge have you acquired? What kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of investment have you made in you? So I'm saying
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that as you begin to look and where you want
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to go, if you want to make it today, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: things are changing so fast, you have to literally understand still.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that you've got to make some conscious effort
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to begin to work to develop you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Life responds to deserve, not need. Life was not designed
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: to give us what we need. Life was designed to
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: give us what we deserve. Once you understand that little
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: life principle in your own self interest, I'm telling you
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: it's life change.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: The ancient law does not go like this.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: If you need, you will reap.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: No, it doesn't work that way. A lot of people
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: out there are hoping it works that way, but no,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: it doesn't.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: The ancient law goes.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Like this, If you plan, you will reap. If you sow,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: you will reap. Somebody says, well, I really need to read. Well,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: then you really need to plan in your own.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: I will not suggest that you work harder. As a
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: matter of fact, by the time we get through, you
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: will probably end up working less, but when you're on
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: the job, you will be on the job.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: You will be.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Working infinitely more effectively when you work in this manner,
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: and you will have that balance of life. We said
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: so many times, in so many different ways, there's a
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: difference between standard of living and quality of life. And
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: we're going to be looking at quality of life because
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: that's the significant thing. Nineteen fifty three, Yale University did
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: a study of their graduating seniors. They discovered that of
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: those seniors, only three percent of them had taken all
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: of the steps necessary to set their goals. That is,
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: they had identified exactly what they wanted and written it down.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: They had spelled out why they wanted to reach these goals.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: They had listed the obstacles they had to overcome and
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: ordered to get there. That identified the people, the groups,
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: and the organizations they needed to work with in order
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: to get there. That identified what they needed to know
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: to reach that goal. They had developed a plan of
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: action to reach that goal, and finally they were able
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: to put the date on it as to when they
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: expected to get there. Only three percent of the graduating
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: seniors had taken all of those steps. An additional ten
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: percent had taken five of those steps, but eighty seven
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: percent of them, beyond identifying that they wanted to be
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: a doctor or a professor or an attorney or whatever,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: really had not done that much towards goal setting. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: please understand everybody has goals. One of your goals. For example,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: if you're in your car listening to this recording, one
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: of your goals was to listen to this recording. Everybody
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: has goals, but we want to get a little more
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: involved in that. We really want to get involved so
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: that we know exactly what we're doing and how we're
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: doing it, and we can get much better results.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Your own self interest needs to be educated in how
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the plant how to do it, so everybody will. Because
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: life doesn't respond to need. You can't go to the
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: soil and say I need a crop. The soil just smiles.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: And here's what the soil says. Don't bring me your need.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Bring me some seed, bring me some effort, bring me
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: some distance, bring me some.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Interest, bring me some servant. Bring me these things, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: I'll return to you.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Multiplied by two times, five times, ten times. You can't
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: come with need. You've got to come with seed. You've
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: got to come with willingness. You've got to come with skill.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: You've got to be willing to learn, willing to change,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: willing to grow, willing to put yourself out, willing to
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: stand up to the bad weather, willing to pull out
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: the weed, willing to nurture. That's the only way you
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: get a return for the several reason.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: By the time you get started, half the day's half finished.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: And now you're changing.
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: Your name, you're talking to your friends.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Given it's lunchtime and coffee time and spam time and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: everything else.
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: Get up at six o'clock and develop a ritual. Get up,
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: exercise and sit on your day, get organized and start
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: to hit it at eight o'clock.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: As a man, you think first, understand next before you speak.
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: So what he says?
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: According to the scriptures, he says, does a man thinkth
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: in his heart? So is he?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: So you are in your heart?
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: How you think?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: And if your heart is out of whack, your life
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: will be out of whack because everything about your life
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: is going to come from your heart, and your heart's
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: going to be based on how you think.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: Are you committed, because without commitment, nothing happens. If you
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: don't learn to give like you learn to get. Every
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: area that there is not reciprocity, it will die reciprocity.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: What do you give by for what you get? If
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: you're not committed, you're not gonna make it, even the
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: ones with the personalities you don't like. You have to
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: be committed through the storm and the rain and the
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: heartache and the pain and the disappointment. You have to
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: believe in the weed and the us and not the
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: mean and the youth, or you're not gonna make it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: It's a commitment, it's not a feeling until you have
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: had the taste of finishing. You will not respect yourself
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: until you follow through. Until something is done, come hell
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: of high water.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I hate plan B.
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: When you start doubting yourself, that's very dangerous because now
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: what you're basically saying is is that if my plan
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: doesn't work, I have a fallback plan. I have a
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: Plan B.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: If you want to be successful, learn from the other
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: people's mistakes.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Don't learn from the successful stories.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Get your ass kicked, get back up, and you put
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: the gloves back on and you swing away.
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: Clanging and banging.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: We call it now.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: The masters make the hardest things in the world look easiest,
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: and in the moments when you push yourself when no
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: one else is around.
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: Those long time success invest in things that we know
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: we can personally impact the outcome out If I believe
• 13:05
  Speaker 11: that I can take something that's already a good company
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: and just make it a little more likely to be
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: a success, then that's a raat game for me.
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: The thing is, in this new.
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: Hyper competitive age, none of us, none.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: Of us get afford to big, complacable.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Regressors.
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: I heard the distinction of tender, but that doesn't guarantee
• 13:27
  Speaker 10: that they'll be putting in the long hours and late
• 13:30
  Speaker 10: nights and have the passion and the drive to be
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: great educators.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The same principle is true in your personal life.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: And so for me, I want to live in a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: state of being grateful and blissful now, not waiting for
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: some future place or day that may never arrive.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: So eighty twenty right, I think eighty percent of my
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: time thinking about the things that are amazing in my
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: life that I'm.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Grateful for, and the beautiful things that I want to
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: build and create.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: But I'll spend twenty percent of my time kicking myself.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: In the ass.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, because otherwise you get really stagnant.
• 13:58
  Speaker 12: One of the big problems is sitting down and doing
• 14:01
  Speaker 12: the work. Pressfield talks about that in the most concise
• 14:05
  Speaker 12: and beautiful way, and he labels it like an enemy.
• 14:08
  Speaker 12: He calls it resistance, you know, and that you have
• 14:11
  Speaker 12: to sit down, you have to overcome resistance, and that
• 14:13
  Speaker 12: the pro goes to work and it doesn't matter if
• 14:15
  Speaker 12: you're sick, it doesn't matter if you have kids. You're
• 14:18
  Speaker 12: a pro and you go to work. That and just
• 14:20
  Speaker 12: it puts it in your head that this is what
• 14:22
  Speaker 12: I do, and you have pride in that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: The sympathetic nervous system of fight or flight, and you're fighting.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: It gives you this charge of energy and you already
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: at a disadvantage, but you're still there. You can feed
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: into that and tap into that for a lot of power.
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: But if you look at it, well, I'm broken, man,
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: like I'm not gonna make it. But if you look
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: at it as man, I'm broken and I'm still here now,
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: I'm fighting and I want to find a way to
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: get through this.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: When things start to suck really really bad, we gotta
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: go cause I have no other place to go.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: It gives you a lot of power,
