- 0:09Speaker 2: dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
- 0:12Speaker 2: radio show. Okay, I want to talk to you today
- 0:22Speaker 2: about success. But I want to talk to you about
- 0:26Speaker 2: it like I usually do in terms of a principle
- 0:30Speaker 2: of it, but I want to share something with you
- 0:33Speaker 2: about it. And I was talking to my daughter about it.
- 0:38Speaker 2: I've talked about my son in law about it, talked
- 0:41Speaker 2: about it with all my children, and I'm really starting
- 0:43Speaker 2: to express it to them now because I'm talking to
- 0:47Speaker 2: a wide range of people constantly. But I want to
- 0:50Speaker 2: share something with you. If you have any aspiration of
- 0:54Speaker 2: being successful, I want you to realize, starting right now,
- 1:00Speaker 2: the effort that is going to require. And that's why
- 1:03Speaker 2: I think it stops a lot of people. I think
- 1:06Speaker 2: a lot of people are never told or don't understand
- 1:10Speaker 2: the sheer efforts that it takes to become successful at
- 1:14Speaker 2: anything in any area of your life. If you think
- 1:18Speaker 2: that doing your best is enough, that I got news
- 1:22Speaker 2: for you. It's not. Well, Steve. What if you've done
- 1:27Speaker 2: your best, though, and your best ain't good enough? Well,
- 1:32Speaker 2: let me ask you that same question. Hold on, if
- 1:34Speaker 2: you want to be successful and you've done your best,
- 1:37Speaker 2: and best isn't good enough. What you threw that's it.
- 1:41Speaker 2: But Steve, it was my best. No no, no, no no.
- 1:45Speaker 2: It was the best you had at that time, in
- 1:47Speaker 2: that particular day. But tomorrow add something to it. You've
- 1:54Speaker 2: never done everything. There is no you can't go no
- 1:58Speaker 2: mo you can't add no more. I've seen marathon runners
- 2:02Speaker 2: end up crawling across the line. I've seen triathlone people
- 2:06Speaker 2: man just staggering in the street and didn't want nobody
- 2:10Speaker 2: to help them because they knew that would disqualify them
- 2:13Speaker 2: from the race. You got more? Have you ever dipped
- 2:19Speaker 2: into your reserve tank? That's what we're talking about now.
- 2:23Speaker 2: See all of us have a reserve tank, you know.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:27Speaker 1: On my ranch, I like to ride four wheelers.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I have all terrain vehicles, and all of them have
- 2:33Speaker 2: a gas tank on it, and a gas tank in
- 2:36Speaker 2: most of mine.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Let me see all of them.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Yeah, all of them have gas tank needles on them,
- 2:40Speaker 2: and it lets me know when I get down towards eight,
- 2:44Speaker 2: there's a little lane that's red that lets me know. Okay, Steve,
- 2:48Speaker 2: you're in the danger zone. Now you're riding into the
- 2:51Speaker 2: lowest part of your tank. But if I keep riding
- 2:54Speaker 2: and I forget to get some gas in there, guess
- 2:57Speaker 2: what when it runs out of gas. All of my
- 3:01Speaker 2: all terrain vehicles, all of them, Honda Polaris, all of them.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Those are the makers. There's a button on the gas
- 3:10Speaker 2: tank itself that I can click and it says reserve.
- 3:15Speaker 2: That means they.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Know that for the hard core riders.
- 3:20Speaker 2: They're gonna ride somewhere, they're gonna get themselves in a
- 3:23Speaker 2: situation and they're gonna run out of everything, They're gonna
- 3:27Speaker 2: run out of road, they're gonna run.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Out of gas.
- 3:30Speaker 2: They've prepared because they know for the hard core rider,
- 3:33Speaker 2: every hard core rider needs a reserve tank. And so
- 3:37Speaker 2: there's a button that you can click on the gas
- 3:40Speaker 2: tank that clicks it into a reserve and it'll give
- 3:43Speaker 2: you about fifty miles or twenty miles worth of gas
- 3:47Speaker 2: in that. Now, guess what in that reserve that may
- 3:51Speaker 2: be all you need to get you the where you're going,
- 3:55Speaker 2: or get you back to safety so you can refuel.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Don't tell me you've done your best. When your best,
- 4:01Speaker 2: don't cut it. What you're gonna do. See when best
- 4:06Speaker 2: is possible, then good enough ain't enough. See that's good enough.
- 4:12Speaker 2: But if the best is possible, why would you not
- 4:14Speaker 2: shoot for that? And you you are all capable of
- 4:17Speaker 2: making it. But you've got to change your mindset and
- 4:21Speaker 2: realize the effort that has to be put forth in
- 4:24Speaker 2: becoming successful. You've got to do it relentlessly, over and
- 4:29Speaker 2: over and over and over and every day. I try
- 4:32Speaker 2: to do something to progress my life for the better.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I try to do something every day. I wake up
- 4:39Speaker 2: every day with the plan. Some phone calls, some meetings,
- 4:42Speaker 2: some some some some interviews.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Something.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Man, that's going to advance and move the brand forward.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Because here's what's gonna happen. You are Let's say you
- 4:52Speaker 2: reach your goal. Let's say your goal is to make
- 4:55Speaker 2: now one hundred thousand dollars. Well, I got news for you.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Listen to this. When you make the one hundred thousand dollars,
- 5:04Speaker 2: you can't go nowhere and go on vacation and put
- 5:06Speaker 2: your hand behind your head and say I made one
- 5:08Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Guess what you got to do.
- 5:11Speaker 2: You got to find a way now to maintain that
- 5:14Speaker 2: one hundred thousand to keep it coming in. See, you
- 5:18Speaker 2: can't just get there and stop and rest and whoa.
- 5:21Speaker 2: It is harder to maintain your success than it is
- 5:25Speaker 2: to get successful. See. Let's say, let me show you this.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Suppose it takes you five to eight years to find
- 5:35Speaker 2: a way to make fifty thousand dollars. Let's say it
- 5:39Speaker 2: takes you five to eight years to find a way
- 5:42Speaker 2: to make an extra fifty thousand dollars, and you finally,
- 5:45Speaker 2: through work and effort, you get to the fifty thousand dollars.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Math. It's only just begun now because guess what.
- 5:54Speaker 2: In order to keep the fifty coming in, you got
- 5:59Speaker 2: to duplicate what you did to get there. And then, oh,
- 6:03Speaker 2: here's what you're going to have the audacity being a
- 6:06Speaker 2: human being.
- 6:07Speaker 1: You're gonna want another.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Fifty because you're a human being, because you gotta have
- 6:13Speaker 2: something else to shoot for.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Now you're gonna want another fifty. Well, now, I guess
- 6:17Speaker 1: what you gotta do.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Now, Now you gotta do what you did before for
- 6:19Speaker 2: plus you gotta come up with something else. Then after that,
- 6:24Speaker 2: you're gonna have the audacity. Because you're humans, You're gonna
- 6:26Speaker 2: want another fifty. Says how this works, and see that
- 6:32Speaker 2: that that's the importance of your relationship with God, because
- 6:37Speaker 2: you're gonna constantly need it and ain't over a point
- 6:39Speaker 2: where you're gonna be through needing it. But that ain't
- 6:42Speaker 2: gonna become a point in your life where you're going through,
- 6:44Speaker 2: won't be through, won't nothing.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Unless you then just gave up. And if you done
- 6:48Speaker 1: gave up, who wants that?
- 6:50Speaker 2: Come on, y'all, this is going to take quite a
- 6:54Speaker 2: bit of effort, And if you think it'll come.
- 6:56Speaker 1: To you any other way, you're sadly mistaken.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Because of all the successful people I know, I know
- 7:03Speaker 2: that the effort they put out on a daily basis
- 7:05Speaker 2: is daunting, and I think that the average person just
- 7:07Speaker 2: doesn't understand the requirement of time and effort that it
- 7:12Speaker 2: takes to get that and willingness to put it out.
- 7:15Speaker 2: You got to cut a lot of monkey business out
- 7:17Speaker 2: your life, all that hanging out, all that late and
- 7:21Speaker 2: all that club and all that drinking, all that.
- 7:24Speaker 1: You got to cut a whole lot of monkey business
- 7:26Speaker 1: out to be successful.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Man, if you're planning on being successful, get up early,
- 7:33Speaker 2: stay up late, work, try, think, meet, greet, smile, attract.
- 7:40Speaker 2: It takes a lot let's go, but you can do it.
- 7:42Speaker 2: God is pressed to passing out blessings all day long.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Why are you not in line for yours? I'm telling
- 7:48Speaker 2: you right now, I want everything God got for me
- 7:51Speaker 2: because what he's shown me so far.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Who if he got some moke man or man? How
- 7:57Speaker 1: good is God? Huh? Steve Harvey Morning Show
