My numbers were great and I would come in rooms and go, or like that room, like I go to a high school, like boom!

I go to a youth detention center, boom! I go to a prison, boom! I come to corporate and go, I don't know if I belong in here. Everybody in the room don't look like me. They don't come from where I come from. I don't know if I belong here. I'll never forget, I had a conversation with Les Brown.

Les Brown had called me to Orlando. We sat in the hotel and I left and I started talking to Les and I started naming like, yo, you, Les Brown, this person, number one in the world, he said, don't you ever say that again. I said, don't say what? He said you the best in the world right now. I said what? He said you the best in the world right now.

There's nobody as good as you in the world. You're the best right now. The only reason you're not the best right now is because you don't believe you the best. And when you walk out this room, I want you to go in a man to do itself. I'm the best right now. He said, before you even become number one, start to proclaim it and say it long before it happened, say I'm the number one motivational speaker in the world. And when I was number 20, I started saying, I'm the number one motivational speaking in the world. And I went to the computer.

And the world said exactly what I said, that Eric Thomas is number one in the world. I spoke it. The world heard it. And it activated. Your problem is that you don't believe you belong here. Your problem is that you don't think you should be sitting down here. So listen to me. There are those of you saying, I want to be a millionaire.

I want to be the best of this company, right? But your value system says you believe in sleep more than you believe in grinding. That you're spending more money than you're making. Why? Because you're a consort with you're reading all the books and you're saying everything the books are saying. But those books are not in alignment with your value. you're going to go to the next level, your values are going to have to change. When I believed that my voice was needed in this world, when I believe that I needed to be

on the stage, not for myself, but to speak to a group of people who come from where I come from, a working class, who don't know what it's like to make millions of millions of dollars, who don't understand what wealth looks like, that I needed to come in the room with a single parent mother, with a father not in my life, being homeless in a high school dropout. Only somebody who comes from where you come from

can tell you you belong, and I had to get my butt on stage because there's some folks that Les Brown can't reach. There's some folks that Tony Robbins can't read. There's some folks that only I can reach. And so I need to be on the stage with them doing what I was called to do. But what you cannot do,

do is you cannot quit doing the process. You cannot give up because it ain't what you see. You cannot give up. Champions keep going when they don't have anything left in their tank. When you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe, that's when you find a way. Some of y'all have been worshiped since you was in high school. So you're always. really know how to grind. Like you talk grind. Like I love it. Like I go into the wave room and y'all playing like Pock. Y'all playing Biggie. Like y'all all in it. Like you like you like pop, but you don't have a spirit of Pock. You like love POP. You like listening to POP. You like listen to Biggie. You like to talk about the grind, but you don't really

know what the grind is like. I know what the grind is like. I was homeless. I ain't out a trash cat. Now, go on the internet right now. I'm one of the number one speakers in the I started from the bottom, like you like listening to it and see, started from the bottom now. Yo, what's your bottom? What is your bottom when you've been worshiped since middle school? You've been tall your whole life, big your whole life. They worship you so much now that you think it's about you. You don't even know what the grind look like.

I'm from Detroit, homeless. Mama got pregnant with me at 17 years old. High school dropout. Took me 12 years to get a four-year degree. I'm coming now. It's in view. You finally made it to the big league. And now you want to chill?

Now you got the big head. Now you can't grind. You hear now. You hear now. You finally made it. And this is where you break up. This is where you start chilling. This is where you get comfortable.

You made it now. You made it now. You're in the big leagues now. They're watching you now. This is where you make it permanent. Yeah, I saw it. I saw perfect, perfect. Nope.

Practice don't make perfect. Practice make perfect. This permanent y'all. This is permanent. You can go wherever you want to go from here. It does not take talent. You don't have to be talented, right? You don't have to be gifted. You don't have to be the quickest, the strongest. You don't have to be the most intelligent to get to where I am.

That's what you got to do. You just got to grind, though. You're grind. You got to outgrind. So many of you heard me say this. Your father, listen to me, might own a company. Your mama might be a millionaire. You might come from privilege.

Your daddy might hook you up with a car, he might know people, he might be able to get you a job, but you will not outwork me. And what you have to decide in your position, in the NCAA, you have to make a decision that nobody in this league in your position will outwork you. I will walk away with stuff I never heard before, books I've never read before, audios that I've never seen before, going to conferences that I've never never. gone hanging out with people that I've never hung out with before. This is nothing, God. This is just a dessert. There are those of you with phones, and every new phone that comes out, you get it. Every upgrade you get it. Every piece of software, you get it. You are upgrading your technology and you've not upgraded yourself. Listen to me closely. When you get to the point where enough is enough, when you get to the point where it hurt real bad, when you get to the

point, you can't take it no more. When you get to that point, the doors start opening. I'll truly start happening. Listen to me very closely. It's our dream. Nobody's going to see it like you do it. It's your dream. Nobody's going to feel it like you feel it. It's your dream. Nobody's going to be as dedicated to it as you are. It's your dream and they don't have to understand and they don't have to like it and they don't have to do it. It doesn't make a difference. It's your dream and you my friend have been given the task to make it happen and you can't let anything stop you from doing what you were called to do. You have an opportunity right now that you'll never have.

People say, why you grind so hard, E. I might not be the number one motivational speaker in the world five years from now. I've got to get everything I can get right now. Every book I can write. Listen to me, my school is being paid for by the athletic department. I'm hot right now. A real man in the dark when nobody's watching, he's putting it in. work. A real man, when coach ain't even watching, he's studying film on his own. Because he's

and he loves the process. Because real lions like to hunt. They love the process just as much as they love the prize. And some of y'all just want to score. You don't like the process. You're not in love with the process. You just like to put the pass on. You just like to put the pass on. You love when it's showtime everybody in the crowd you like hey hey mom can you see you can't even start until you know your people there once you see them you're like showtime day after day after day grind after grind after grind after after grind after drop airport after airport driving mile after mile E T aren't you tired yes I might be I don't know E T aren't you ready to take a

break yes I might be but listen to me I can't why because I grind from Jayland I grind for Jada. I grind for Didi. I grind for my mother. Are you hearing what I'm telling you? I grind for Vanessa. I hustle for, so the days I want to hit that alarm clock, I think about my wife. I can't quit.

My son, $25,000 a year. I can't stop. He's counting on me. My daughter, I can't quit. I can't stop. I can get tired. I can't give up. I can't give in.

My mama counting on me. My wife is counting on me. Yeah, I might be different, but I am brilliant. Yep, I might be loud, but I am special. We can go for being homeless and high school dropouts to having PhDs writing books and becoming the voice of a generation. We can do whatever we believe we can do, and we don't need anybody's permission to do it with ours.

I am phenomenal, and I don't owe anybody an apology. I am going to do great things, and I don't owe anybody an apology. I am. I was created to be great. I was created to do great things. I was created to have great things and I will no longer ask others for their permission. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. I am great. Listen to me, and I don't hold anybody in the power.
