Can you do this thing alone?
I've trained 99% of my life alone.
No one pat me on the back.
I did all of my life alone. No one pat me on the back. I did all of the work alone.
Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of a lesser species.
Be alone. Grow that dark space. You may not want to fight that battle, but you need to.
A beast is someone who can go through hell and be grateful that
their legs are working. What are you? Are you a sheep or you a wolf?
When you train alone I can take myself to such a level of real real passion and purpose nobody's gonna feed us you gotta feed
yourself the feeling I get is something I can't even expect I don't need anyone
it's on you but I want it as bad If you want to be strong, you got to learn to fight alone. Yes, you're
tired. Yes, your mind is saying give up. Yes, it's saying quit, but you cannot quit because
you realize you have not reached the goal yet. Day in and day out, you got to keep on working. And if you get knocked down, so what?
Rise up and get up.
Nobody's going to believe in you until you've already done it.
Nobody's going to come and celebrate with you until you've already done it.
Which means you're going to have to work for a long time by yourself with no applause, with no awards.
No one's going to believe in you in the beginning nor should they be okay with if I have to do it alone I will
start alone but get started when you wake up early, it's just you.
The world can wait.
Emails can wait.
Text messages can wait.
The boardroom can wait.
The playing field can wait.
The court can wait.
Everything can wait.
And I can get dialed in with what I've been called to do.
I can get dialed in with why I'm here.
What is my purpose without any outside influences or stimuli?
I don't need coffee right now.
I don't need alcohol.
I don't need an outside stimuli to get my day jumpstarted.
I just need to get up and get dialed in.
We want to be successful, but we don't want to get dialed in on a morning routine.
It's unbelievable to me how much we want success, but we don't want structure.
Put away the devices, put away the distractions, put away the outside stimuli and the influences and all of the voices and get dialed in.
If you're listening to me, let this be a moment of transformation and motivation.
But let this moment not just move you, but change you to take action.
Why am I here?
What have I been placed on this earth to do?
All of a sudden, when I wake up and the world is sleeping I get a different perspective I can get my
agenda my targets and my aims crystallized in my head and whatever
becomes clear in my head y'all I can hold in my hand period all of us has
this power within us this force of nature that we have not tapped into
There's another level life is lived on levels and these levels are unlocked by taking action
My question to you is will you take action and do something out of your paradigm if you're going to obliterate?
programs and
Patterns then you've got to do something
different. Shake it up. Wake up early, man. Get up. It's time for an identity shift. It's time for
elevation in your relationships and in your health and in your mindset and in your approaches and in
your strategies. It's time to get into this space of innovation. BetMGM and GameSense remind you to play responsibly. BetMGM.com for T's and C's. 90 plus to wager. Ontario only. Please play responsibly.

To speak to an advisor, free of charge it's your time
it's your turn the wait is over get up and give back to yourself
if you're listening to me get up get up get up get up it's time to go
most people don't feel like waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Do it because you don't feel like doing it.
You need to be the person that does it even if they don't feel it.
But they do it because they're called to.
Everybody wants to unleash greatness within them. and everybody wants to be their best
self but you're going to have to do stuff you don't feel like doing in order to get there
and so if we want to step into this transformative experience then i need to have a competitive
advantage over the competition where you say man i'm in competition with nobody just me and I get that and I've said that
But the truth of the matter is is if you don't do something the other man is not doing
Then you're gonna get knocked off
If you want longevity if you want
sustainability if you want to scale if you want peak performance if you want to scale, if you want peak performance,
if you're going to do something in your bloodline, if you're going to pass something down
generationally, if you're going to be a light, if you're going to do something that's never been done,
then sometimes you're going to have to get up when you don't feel like it.
If we're going to unleash this untapped potential, then I have to do something that's
going to break the current paradigms that I've been living under. I got to do something that's
going to obliterate the status quo. What you're going to discover about waking up at a certain
time, specifically at a time you don't feel like it, that after a while, you will love it.
Once you get that itch, once you smell that potential,
all of a sudden, the world opens up to you,
and 3 a.m., 4 a.m. is no longer a burden.
It's just what you do.
And you don't even need an alarm clock to go off because
your passion awakens you your passion you can go three four hours of sleep and
you're ready to go again because something inside of you is safe I gotta
achieve something you got work to do so make that decision that there's no
turning back.
And so we want to become unstoppable.
And we want to be resilient.
But we don't want to do what's impossible for most people.
For most people, 3 a.m. is just like it's impossible in their mind.
They don't even think about it.
It's something they're just not going to do.
They're going to get up at 7, 8, 9, 10.
And so you've got to do what's impossible for most people in order to be that unstoppable force of nature.
And I am an advocate for rest.
Don't get me wrong.
Like we got to get rest.
We need to sleep.
I understand that.
But there are seasons and timetables.
And there are rooms I've got to walk into.
And there are hands that I have to shake.
And there are contracts that I have to shake. And there are contracts that I have to sign. And there are deals that I have to close.
That are going to require me to lose sleep sometimes.
And so if I believe in the power of the future.
Then I got to be willing to get up.
Break through.
Do something you've never done.
Start your day at a time where it is a sacrifice until it becomes an obsession.
I get up early when the competition is sleeping.
I get a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
I get peace and quiet and some solitude where I can focus on me.
I can condition myself. I can condition myself.
I can prepare myself.
I can accomplish more by getting up earlier.
When people are sleeping and I am working, by the time they wake up, bam, I'm already done.
I'm done.
I'm in a flow state.
I can break out of the monotony.
I can break out of the monotony. I can break out of the mundane. I can snap out of autopilot
and step into that powerful driving force
that is within me to help me
unleash my untapped potential.
Period.
Waking up early gets me in touch with myself.
It gets me in tune.
It gets me in motion.
It gets me in flow
where I can perform my best.
And I can get hyper focused on what matters most and I can eliminate distractions and everything that was hindering me all of a sudden, wham, I hit a state of elevation.
Everything that was toxic, everything that was not for me, everything that was not
life-giving, I can get very clear on the future. It is time for transformation. It is time to unlock
resilience and ignite energy and vitality. It's going to increase productivity. It's going to
shift your identity and it's going to unlock the dimension of unstoppable momentum.
If you want this, then try it for one week. Over, under, money, line Same game, Paul A's, it's all fine

The wolf on the hill is never as hungry Call 931-2600 to speak to an advisor free of charge.
The wolf on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill.
It's not easy going it alone.
But if you keep going, stay true to yourself.
It will be worth it in the end.
The hardest walk you can make is the walk you make alone.
But that is the walk that makes you the strongest.
That is the walk that builds your character the most
to all of you fighting battles alone to all of you going against the grain battling the naysayers stay strong keep going stay strong keep going this walk Stay strong. Keep going.
This walk is hard, but the hardest walks lead to the greatest destinations.
The toughest climbs always lead to the best views.
It will be worth it in the end.
And if you show what you are made of, the right people will show up in your life you won't be alone wolf forever
you have qualities only few can admire because most don't possess.
You have strength only few can understand because most have never experienced.
So don't give in.
Don't settle.
Don't lower your expectations to fit into the world.
You are born to stand out. You as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill.
Always be that wolf climbing the hill.
Always hungry for more.
Always hungry to grow.
To feed your mind and rise to the highest level you can take yourself.
Never looking back. Always looking forward to the highest level you can take yourself never looking back
always looking forward to the next feast feast of success in whatever you do
it does not matter if you have to walk alone for a while it is much better to
walk alone in the right direction than to follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.
Stay strong. Be different.
Your destiny is in your hands. Get out there and hunt it.
Do you just want to win?
Or are you absolutely committed?
Because when you are committed,
when you have made the decision
that I am going to win,
it's no longer a want,
it is a must.
And when something becomes a must,
when you become obsessed
with what you've been called to do,
you will sacrifice.
People that are committed are willing to make the sacrifices.
And so answers of the question, have you sacrificed everything?
Are you paying the price?
You've got to pay the price for what you want.
Everything in your future comes at a cost. I am acquainted with
loss, pain, lack, and famine. I want to win now because winning has everything to do with
your mentality. It has everything to do with how you talk, how you walk, how you think,
how you overcome. Winning is not just a crown or a trophy.
It is the process.
It is who I am becoming.
And that is how we win.
If you are going to hit your goal,
if you're going to punch through your targets,
you have got to see differently.
You have got to think differently.
You are going to have to connect differently.
You are going to have to communicate differently. You're going to have to communicate differently.
One day, I just decided I'm going to raise my standards.
Make a decision.
Raise your expectations.
You got to go to the next level.
There's always another level.
You've been in this place of misery long enough.
It's time to win.
There is no other option.
Winning is a non-negotiable.
It's what I do.
And all of a sudden, wham!
No longer is it just what you do.
It is who you have become. Because there are some people that win.
And then there are winners.
There are people who win, there are people who lose, and there are people who are winners.
This ain't just something I do.
It is who I have become.
I am a winner.
Consider this that all environments do not breathe and nurture a winning spirit.
Not everybody grew up in a winning home.
Yet we often witness living examples of greatness springing up out of adversity
Somebody that chooses to defy the odds
Somebody that chooses to be the one in their bloodline that changes everything
One thing I know is that we've all been hit with a measure of adversity at some point in our life.
You already know what failure feels like.
People that are winners win both inner and outer.
And they see it not just as an opportunity, but as a birthright.
Winners are obsessed with counsel. Winners are obsessed with counsel.
Winners are obsessed with accountability.
Winning is a habit.
Winning is loving.
Winning is being moved with compassion because everybody deserves my best.
Winning is wrapped up in the details.
That is winning, the mentality.
Winning is what I do at home.
It's what I do on my job.
It's my creative pursuits.
It's my social activities.
It's what communities I'm connected to.
Are you willing to lose sleep?
Are you willing to put the work in?
Are you fully persuaded?
Are you determined?
Real winners.
These are the people who have a positive self-awareness.
They are crystal clear about where they are and where they're looking at.
This is the type of person that's got a tunnel vision.
They move in the dimension of mindfulness and gratitude.
When we unpack the architecture
of a winning mentality we're dealing with someone that is armed and dangerous
that's all i'm thinking about that's all i want that's all i see that's all i want to hold in my
head is a win winners are gap closers these are people that every single day they're beating on their crap and they're closing the gap
between where they are and where they're supposed to be.
I'm supposed to be here!
I belong here!
Have you counted up the cost?
It's going to cost you everything to win
the winning isn't just a behavior winning is an attitude because you can have good behavior and a bad attitude and so winning is a behavior winning is
an attitude winning is a behavior winning is an attitude winning
is a way of living you're going to have to manifest that thing that you see in
your head to hold it in your hands make it count
what you go through you will grow through.
I know you feel stuck in reversion.
You may be tired.
You may be broken.
You may be hurting.
But listen, winning has everything to do with your mentality.
I am going to win.
I've had enough of the loss.
I've had enough of the lack.
I want to win now.
I want to win. We all know what it's like to lose a job to lose a family member to lose money to
lose a position some of us have even lost our minds at points in our lives so
we are acquainted with loss some of us have lost love towards someone or lost passion or lost
focus many of you listen to me know what it's like to lose everything
where you failed yesterday where you almost gave up yesterday
when you almost lost your mind when you almost in! When your back was up against the wall!
But there is something in all of us.
Something very inborn, interwoven.
Something very intrinsic.
A distinctive in all of us, a desire...
to win.
What are you made of?
What is your DNA?
What is your mentality?
What are your goals?
In this very moment, you have an opportunity.
Seize the opportunity.
Everybody wants to win.
Because winning is not just an exterior thing.
How you overcome conflict.
How you navigate a room.
How you navigate relationships.
How you manage your time.
How you manage your money.
It's not just an in thing.
It is not just what I want. It is not just what I want.
It is who I am becoming.
That is how we win.
Everybody wants to win.
It's time to win.
What is preventing most people from moving in the direction that they want to move is a lack of discipline.
And no one wants to hear that answer. It's the harshest answer.
This is hard work. It's every day.
When they see that word discipline, it's actually a slap in the face because they know it's true.
If any fraction of self-discipline, the ability to not want to do it, but still do it.
That's the most powerful thing in the world.
What are you going to get without discipline?
Are you going to be in good physical shape without discipline?
Are you going to be financially successful without discipline?
Are you going to become more intellectually powerful without discipline?
You're going to see me for who I am.
Because I need to change who I'm not.
Discipline is the root of all good qualities.
If you want to make progress in your life, you've got to have discipline.
Discipline equals freedom.
You want freedom in your life?
You want to achieve what it is you want to achieve?
How do you do that?
You do it through discipline.
You do it through hard work.
You do it by knowing what it is you're supposed to do and then doing it yeah you have to
face yourself what am i going to do today to change what i see in this mirror it starts with yourself
man through hard work you can outwork anybody like i'm going to be extreme in my discipline
somebody asked me that on social media how do you master discipline i'm like I'm gonna be extreme in my discipline
somebody asked me that on social media how do you master discipline I'm like
you don't you don't you keep working out of them every day yes it takes power it
takes effort it takes discipline to break you forgive you confidence not
being afraid it's overcoming the fear there's no one in the world that enjoys taking criticism.
It's in the discomfort zone
is where my confidence is getting built.
The tougher things you go through,
the more confidence you're gonna have.
The more confidence you have, the better you're gonna get.
But I'm gonna work and try and make myself better.
And that's the mentality you have.
A lot of us who are afraid of something,
we allow our minds to choose the path of least resistance
so we go a different route.
What I did was what I knew how to do, which was work.
You figure it out by going inside yourself.
Because being a warrior takes a whole different mindset.
That's what I'm gonna do.
When I was a little tiny kid, you know, five, six,
the only thing I could remember was wanting to be some kind of commando.
There was no, there was not any question for me.
I knew what I wanted to do.
I never thought about quitting at any moment in time.
SEAL Themes is going to war.
That's what we do.
You're lucky that you don't have to think like warriors think.
You're very privileged.
I chose this world to be a warrior.
And I would choose it again if I came back to this world.
But the mentality of a warrior is very different than the normal mentality.
You must be that person on that door, get ready to open it, thinking to yourself,
if I die, so be it.
Because being a warrior takes a whole different mindset.
And the fact of the matter is, bullets don't have your name on it.
Bullets say to whom it may concern.
And the bullet doesn't care who you are.
They don't care how much training you've had.
They don't care how well prepared you are and if
it's your day it's your day and so I think once you get to a point where you
recognize and accept the fact that you could you can die then you can move past
that that's a really high percentage of people that quit but there's also people
that fail we have the ability to go in such a
space if you're willing to suffer and I mean suffer your brain and your body
once connected together can do anything. When you're driven whatever's in front
of you will get destroyed. I was just a scared kid that found drive and passion to be something much better than what he thought he was.
And that's why I talk about the warrior mentality.
The only way you can go in that door is knowing there's a great chance you're going to die.
I worry about missing out on opportunities that I have because I got friends that will never get the chance to
execute on
opportunities because they didn't come home and
That's literally what I told my guys was we've we've crossed the line and there's no there's no possible way to
replace or describe or
overcome the amount of just heart-wrenching sadness that you feel when you
lose a teammate. I didn't know what to do and I didn't know what to say. First time, second time,
third time, what I did was and I told my guys, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to tell
you. The only thing that I know to do is to go back to work and I do know this if Mark was here he
would want us to go back to work and so we're gonna lock and load our weapons
and we're gonna go do what we do that's the reality of combat when you see
people in these hard situations that's when human nature gets
revealed. And the more you can understand human nature, the better leader you're going to be.
There's only one type of human being that can't improve as a leader. And that's the,
that's the person that lacks humility. Because when someone lacks humility, you can't teach them.
A leader has to be balanced. The older I get, the less I know. One of the things that I realized in a leadership position is that the words that you say matter. The actions you take matter. People
are listening. People are watching. People are respecting or disrespecting you based on how you carry yourself.
Relationships and trust are almost the same word, right? A relationship is something that we've built trust. Now you can have a bad relationship and what does that mean? That means there's no
trust there. I don't trust you. We have a bad relationship. The way I build trust with people
is I give them trust. That's how I build trust. I give it. I give trust to build trust. If I
micromanage you and I don't let you make any decisions yourself,
well, you're never gonna step up and learn how to lead because you don't get to make any decisions for yourself.
Would you rather win or be liked? Well, I'm gonna tell you those aren't opposites. The team that likes each other, they win.
I'm trying to take the lessons that I was lucky enough to learn
and get them to as many people as I can
so they don't have to suffer through the same mistakes that I made.
I mean, you're always going to have regret.
You know, I don't spend a lot of time with regret.
That's good.
You know, because there's not much that you can do about it.
So the way I look at regret is what did I learn from it?
What did I learn from whatever thing I'm looking at that I know I could have done a better job, could have done different?
There's a million things like that, but I don't sit there and think about them all day long.
What I think is like, hey, here's the lessons that I learned from them.
I will make those mistakes again and move forward every single day for me it starts and
you know ground zero I've got it I've got a go forward with an open mind with
a humble mind looking at the world when somebody gives you feedback you listen
to it number one you got to be humble and if you're not humble you're not
looking for feedback and you're not listening to it.
No feedback, no improvement.
Feedback is built upon being humble.
Everything that I look at, I try and look at from a humble perspective.
And if you don't do that, it's gonna be a problem.
If I'm looking down the sights of my weapon and I'm shooting, my world is this big.
The minute that I stop shooting,
point my weapon at high court,
take a step back and actually look around,
I can see infinitely more.
Eventually, you got to start doing it.
As a leader, you should be listening 98% of the time
and talking 2% of the time.
You will need to normalize in your mind walking alone.
You got to get up on your own.
You got to be able to make big decisions on your own.
You got to lose weight on your own.
There are a myriad of targets you have to hit by yourself.
Oftentimes, it's the people that go away
into a very healthy isolation to equip themselves,
to condition themselves, to educate themselves, to come out empowered.
And so you gotta get into this workspace where you can do it by yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's the office, it doesn't matter if it's the gym, it doesn't matter
if it's the court, it doesn't matter if it's the field, it doesn't matter what arena you are stepping into. You gotta get to that place where you don't need attention,
you don't need recognition, you don't need the accolades. You just want to put in the
work and the next time you surface, the next time you show up, it's game over.
If you throw me to the wolves, I'll return, leading the pack.
You see, a wolf is willing to leave its pack behind and find a new one.
The time is now, and we must adopt the wolf mentality.
Be relentless.
Resilient.
Never quit.
And never look back.
I know what it feels like to be fractured and falling into pieces.
But you gotta silence the voices in your head that are telling you you
need a shortcut you need a cheat code eliminate the negative self-sabotaging
voices find a mirror and tell yourself I've got this today I got this today I'm
gonna make it I'm going to create it I'm going to build it all I have is all I
need resources may come and go people may come and go but I've got a vision I'm going to create it. I'm going to build it. All I have is all I need.
Resources may come and go. People may come and go. But I've got a vision and I've got the pro vision.
And I've got the determination and the discipline to hit my aims and to punch through my targets.
Can you do this thing without attention? Can you do this thing without public affirmation? Can you do this
thing without people telling you that you are everything to them? Without people applauding
you and saying you're great, you're awesome, oh you're amazing. Can you do this thing alone? Can
you be your own cheerleader for a moment? Can you be your own hype man for a moment? Can you tell
you I'm good enough? I got this. That all I have is all I need.
I believe in friendships and partnerships and collaboration and counsel and advice.
But there are some things in life you are going to have to do alone.
There are some arenas you're going to have to show a beard.
And nobody is coming.
Nobody's coming to save you. Nobody's coming to help you.
Nobody's coming to save you, nobody's coming to help you, nobody's coming to show you a shortcut.
You gotta figure this out on your own.
For most of us, nobody's gonna feed us.
You gotta feed yourself.
You wanna lose the weight?
You wanna reach your target, your aim?
You gotta put the work in you got to
feed yourself the food that is required to power the body that you want it's not
about trying to be a Lone Ranger more than it is about taking responsibility
and prioritizing yourself first.
There are some things in life nobody's going to show up.
It's all on you.
I need you to find a mirror right now and tell yourself,
it's all on me, it's all on me.
This one is all on me.
When I go get this degree, ultimately, I got to go get this degree. When I go get this certification when i go get this certification ultimately i got
to get this certification i've got to finish strong i've got to condition myself i've got to
go get the education i've got to get out of bed i've got to go to the gym i gotta eat clean
nobody's gonna feed me i gotta feed myself if you're listening to me right now in the gym on your walk on your run you're lifting you're
building you're creating you're imagining something i just need you to push and i need
you to believe that you don't need the spider that you don't need the training wheels that it is your
time that it is your turn and you no longer help. You no longer need assistance in this area of your life.
Push like you have never pushed before.
Give it everything you have.
Because that spotter is not going to be there for you for the rest of your life.
If you want to grow one millimeter more.
If you want to push, just push a little harder.
Everybody wants to grow a little bit taller. so we got to push a little bit harder.
Life is lived on levels, and I can't bring my spotter with me.
The spotter cannot walk with you all of your life.
At some point, you got to say, I got this.
I got this.
Push!
Push!
Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, I got this. Push. Look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself, I got this.
I got this.
If I have to do it alone, I will.
Because to fulfill this vision, to fulfill my destiny,
ultimately, I'm depending on the God that put the dream in my heart and myself.
With tears in your eyes, with broken hands and a heavy heart,
if nobody is there and you are in a room by yourself,
start alone, but get started.
Help is coming, but everything rises and falls on you.
Oftentimes, the people that you wanted in your life will reject you.
And that rejection is protection.
It is a blessing because it's the same people that rejected you
that will need you and that will rely on you.
Come on, how many people have you tried to help
and you were bleeding, battered, and broken?
How many times have you called for help
and the help was toxic?
Come on, how many times have you asked for advice
and the advice brought more adversity?
Take responsibility for yourself.
Take control of your life.
I need you to understand your worth
and stop playing the blame game because nine times out of ten the people that hurt you you
brought them into your life and so you got to reflect over the past you have to acknowledge
the present and you have to cast vision for your future and take accountability and kill the self-condemnation. Stop tearing yourself down
on the inside. Stop saying one thing, thinking another and acting in a whole nother way.
How you think is how you talk and how you talk must be how you behave because your thoughts
will determine your behavior and your behavior determines your future. And so everything's got
to line up. And so you need an alignment, an internal alignment.
I can't align you. You've got to make the decision to align yourself.
You can hear a speech and make a decision,
but every day you have to make that decision.
That decision has to evolve into discipline.
And discipline turns into mastery.
And mastery builds momentum.
You're not going to always get it right, but you got to keep
going. When you start alone, you possess a power that few can handle.
If you don't have self-confidence, here's what you have. You have a really bad reputation with
yourself. You have built a habit of not keeping
the promises you make to yourself we've all heard this before you need to believe and know that
you're one decision one relationship one meeting one book one thought one something away from a
completely different life here's how i built what i would call almost superhuman confidence in spite of my insecurity think about that superhuman confidence in spite of my
insecurity it's an effort play if you don't have self-confidence you've never
kept the promises you make to yourself check that box if you have
self-confidence you've started to keep the promises you make yourself if you
want to have superhuman self-confidence you keep the promises you make to yourself and one more
So if I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna work out I'm gonna do ten reps in the gym
I do one more I'm gonna do 45 minutes on the treadmill
I do one more if I want to make ten contacts in a day
I do that and one more if I'm gonna tell my daughter I love her every day. I'm gonna do that and
One more because in life we don't get our goals,
we get our standards long term.
And so if your standard is one more,
what starts to happen is you go,
I'm willing to do things other people aren't willing to do,
and I combine that, that I have great faith,
great associations, and I intend to help people.
This is a formula to build wonderful self-confidence
and never lack humility when you have it.
Never link your confidence to your ability.
If it's predicated on your abilities or your achievements, you're always going to be chasing it.
But if you link your confidence to your intentions, man, you have beautiful intentions.
And that is something I knew about me.
I know I have a good heart.
And all of us, we run around carrying these bags up
I'm not qualified because I made this mistake. I had this bankruptcy this relationship didn't work
I did this thing you don't know about I'm so ashamed of that's why you're qualified. That's the thing that qualifies you
The human this in you you are the only human being with your combination of gifts that you were given whatever they are and your experience and real human beings help real human beings by being
vulnerable and transparency I know where you are I've messed up I've made greater
mistakes I felt worse I know that depression I know that anxiety I know
that shame I know what that feels like
you're one away one relationship one meaning one person one thought away from changing your life
So how do we let go of the past well we have to create a compelling future
In other words, you're not gonna let go of one thing until you've grabbed on to the next
It's a create a new for you up to create a future in it
And by the way
It's okay that you don't believe all of it initially, as long as it becomes
repetitive and we begin to take steps towards it, right?
So for me, I still have stuff from my past.
There's still a little part of me that doesn't want to be broke.
There's still a little bit of fear.
But you're not broke.
Yeah, but you've interviewed some of the most successful actors and entertainers, so have
I, and you get them privately and sometimes on your show they go, are you afraid it's going to go away?
They go, yeah, I am.
That's why I work so hard.
So there's an element of that that's okay.
It's creating this vision for your life that's compelling.
Can you survive the temporary?
And if you can survive the temporary, it says on the other side of temporary pain,
you get introduced to your other self.
And that other self and that
other self produces that other life and so here's what happens for most of us we
think everything's permanent because we think it's permanent we make permanent
decisions based on temporary conditions even our bodies of the inner souls
contemporary but if your body isn't permanent your problem is if your pain
isn't you need to create a different relationship with pain in your life.
For most people, their relationship with the pain
and the inconvenience is to avoid it.
Avoid, it's the most common.
Yeah, but if you could say to yourself,
on the other side of this is this other self.
The hardest working you've ever been,
the most crazy focus you've ever been,
was the happiest you've ever been in your life.
And the truth of the matter is that most of you
don't understand the effort the time the focus
the obsessiveness that's required to do something great with your life but you
have to get great and you have to be intentional you have to be obsessive yeah
I know what you put into this I know what the time is I know what the
relentless pace is I know what the focus is how much you think about I know this
has to be something that's just infectious and when people get around
you that emanates and there's an energy and there's like
This person's just gonna will this to happen, but I think just most people dramatically
Underestimate the amount of obsessive crazy relentless focus it takes to be great at something
Yes, and then they go. I don't want to be that out of balance or control. Then you don't want to be great
My default personality is insecure even today even today come on very much very
much how is that default you wake up and you say I'm a nobody or what what's I
like this I'm fooling everybody if Really? If they really knew, you know. I've always tried to disqualify
myself. I was bullied as a kid. My dad was an alcoholic. I wasn't a real big guy. I disqualify
myself because, you know, the truth is that maybe for a while, everything that I got that was love
when I was a child only came when I achieved something
That wasn't good in school the only I was good at was sports
so my default is tons of insecurity I
Love to beat myself up with mistakes. I've made I
Did this I did that I should have done this. I didn't do that and
I've always thought these mistakes these weaknesses of mine disqualify me
from being happy or helping people the confidence part is the thing I'm always
gonna have to work on even today even with all the success and the you know
the massive show and the big businesses and all the homes and everything that
people see yeah what else do you need though to feel more calm I don't need
other things it's an internal game the the stuff is really fleeting and temporary so it's not stuff what needs to
happen for me is that i'm most confident when i'm living in my intention which is to serve like
that's a beautiful expression of a man a real man is capable of real love that's a sign of real
strength and what we do is we gravitate towards the familiar emotions in our life even if
they're not ones that serve us and I don't think there's negative or positive
emotion they say this in the book there just are yes fear isn't negative it fear
in abundance is negative some frustration some anger is appropriate
it's to the dosage level and we get these four or five of them for me some
chaos is okay it It's fun.
It's exciting.
It's exhilarating, right?
But getting it every day, every week, every month, all the time.
Chaos is my gateway emotion to the ones I don't want.
Chaos gives me stress.
Chaos gives me anger.
Chaos gives me frustration.
Chaos gives me fear.
I used to think, well, that's a superpower, though, because I've created all these external.
Look what I made.
Look what I did.
And I'm doing it because of that.
The truth is I did it in spite of it.
You did.
And there's a lot of things in our lives that we have linked to our formula, our recipe of success that we hold on to,
that you've done in spite of those things, not because of those things.
But my dad knew I was a dreamer.
And my dad would always say, you know, I was one decision away from changing my life the whole time.
One choice.
And he'd say, Eddie, you're not as far away from these dreams as you think you are.
And I'd say, really, Dad?
And he'd go, no, you're actually a lot closer than you think.
But because you think it's so far away, you behave in accordance with that belief system,
and it always keeps it that far away from you.
If the things most important to you are your worries, fears, anxieties,
problems, bills, you will continue to have people, places, and things revealed to you that confirm it. My definition of greatness is that you create a life that matches your
vision for your life. And that's greatness, no matter what that looks like for you.
I get up at three because it's silent. It's easier to be focused when the environment is focused.
Most of you wake up and you try to make money.
Listen to me.
If you would make you, money would come to you.
Okay, you missed that whole thing I just said.
If you would make you a better person, you'd make more money.
Now, watch what I do.
The way people spend their money
or treat their money is how i treat my time all right let me explain what i mean to you i make
sure that every single day in that 24-hour period that i'm getting a whole bunch of wins so i'm
supposed to be doing this at this time doing this at this time doing this at this time doing this
at this time the problem with most of you you waking up and you worshiping money.
Man, I was in the back when Carl Cole was like, E, I got this opportunity for you. I
got this opportunity. I got this opportunity. When you become number one, you have to chase
opportunities. So I became number one, not meaning I'm better than nobody else. It means
I just mastered my craft to the point that I know what I do that don't nobody else do.
I know that I have a way of doing in this industry what nobody else does and I've picked out in this industry I've crafted out my own room.
And your problem is you at 50% knocking on doors trying to get the result. Somebody at 100%.
And you wonder why it ain't working.
Because while you're doing what they're doing, you're not they are.
So why do I put more emphasis on time than I put on money?
Because they print money.
They don't print time.
So I'm going to say it one more time.
You are worshiping the thing that they make every day
They don't make time every day
Ain't nobody printing time
I ain't met them yet
I ain't met no billionaire
I ain't met no trillionaire
I ain't met no institution
I ain't met no company
I ain't met nobody printing money
So why are you spending more time on the thing they print every day
Than the thing you know why
Because you're not developing and you're following other people
When you understand that the real thing is time and you ain't got a lot of it
You start focusing on your time and when you get your time right, money will come
Some people go to Dubai once every 10 years, I'm going every other month
Why? When you master yourself, you put yourself in a position that a lot of people can't do what you do.
And then you become rare.
And diamonds are rare.
That's why they cost so much.
If you would become rare, you're just like everybody else.
You look just like everybody else.
You act just like everybody else.
When you become you and you become rare, you become a...
When you leave this room, you will take full ownership.
And the reason why I say it's my fault, even when it's not my fault,
because when I say it's your fault, I give you power.
I give you control over my life.
And I will never give another human control over my life.
It's my fault. It's my problem.
I'm coming up with a solution for it.
Stop being average. Average people can't forgive. Average people can't let go.
The greats, we do whatever it takes.
Those who have a why can bear almost any high.
How did I become number one in the world? Found out my wife had
multiple sclerosis. They told my wife, listen to me y'all, my wife's so beast mode. They told my wife
she had MS and she's like bad. Then they told her she had to quit her job and tears came out of her eyes.
The doctor said, you don't have insurance she said yeah I got
insurance she's looking at like why are you crying if you got insurance my
wife's identity is in her waking up and working every day she went to school to
be a registered nurse she went to school to do breast and cervical cancer she
didn't want to be at home she don't wanna be no home wife she literally went
to school to be a nurse. She loves her job
When they told us she had to quit my wife's like I don't know what I'm gonna do I said how much you make she told me five thousand I said five thousand times twelve
So I'm a sixty times thirty years. I'm a 1.8 million. I woke up every day
100 1.8 million
I'm number one in the world not because I'm a better speaker
I'm not number one in the world because I look the best, because I dress the best.
I'm not number one because my enunciation is the best, because I use the best words, because I got the best sentence structure, because I come from the best background.
I became number one because I woke up and I hunted down the 1.8 mil so my wife would never have to work again.
If you waking up every day and you want a Rolls Royce, you ain't about to beat me. If you waking up for a Bentley, you ain't about to beat me.
If you waking up for a gold chain, you ain't about to beat me.
If you woke up for a Rollie, you ain't about to beat me.
Cause you going after material stuff. I'm going after my food.
I'm going after my baby. I'm going after my high school sweetheart.
I'm going after my kids so they can see their mom and their mama don't die.
I'm making sure their mama don't get in a wheelchair if I can help her.
If their mama don't lose her sight if I can help her.
If her mama don't lose her memory.
But I started studying MS like I had.
I started studying MS.
Your problem is you're not studying this product like your
life down on it, like your life depend on it. You playing with this product. You know what? You like
the people that work for me that want to check and they never end up getting it. But the people who
own, who work for my company act like they own it. Wake up every single day making sure she don't
have to go back to work. So watch this, I started studying and I found out two things.
One is stress, so I had to take her out of a stressful situation.
And then the other thing was vitamin D.
And I literally, people say bro why you move to Southern California?
Because my wife got it, man.
I literally typed, what's the best place in the world for vitamin D?
Southern California.
What's the best temperature in the world in the United States of America San Diego, California?
It don't never it don't go
9900 and then back down it's right there. I said San Diego. I'm hunting down
Moving to San Diego why I don't care about San Diego my wife my wife in the first year last year
We were in San Diego
My wife said to me back to Michigan when the came, my wife said, you know something?
I said, what?
She said, I never took a nap in California.
I said, what you mean by that?
She said, the sun energized and I never needed to take a nap.
You're going to come after me.
The reason why most of you can't do what you do, you can keep getting knocked down, you keep quitting,
because whatever your why is, it ain't stronger than the beat down you take
whatever the beat down whatever life is throwing at you whatever punches is for you whatever's
happening it ain't that it ain't deep enough for you to wake up like you're getting punched
and you feel that pain and you like ain't no need to get up don't i feel you you need to stay down
because life gonna beat beat you. You're
talking about making millions. Life going to beat you down. You're talking about making millions,
multi-millions, billions. Life going to beat you down. So, so when you feel the pain and you get
knocked out, stay down. If you got a water that's deeper than your pain we trial we triple I will my way through it I don't care if it's cancer I will my
way through it I don't care if it's MS I will my way through it I don't care if
I'm struggling in school I'm trying to get a degree I will my way through it I
don't care if you fail the boards go again I don't care if you fail the law
exam go again will your way through some things you can steal
yourself through some stuff you gotta will your way through without a vision
there's no direction without direction there's no progress reason why you
struggling getting up because you don't have nothing to get up for I'm the best
ever there's no one that can match me. I'm the most brutal, the most vicious,
the most ruthless champion there's ever been. They're gonna fear me.
You have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle.
You have to be him before you become him. You gotta be him before you become him.
That's how it starts.
You look at somebody, I want to be like him.
You don't say, hey, I'm a bad mother.
I want to fight everybody out here.
Nobody's going to kick my ass.
You see somebody and say, hey, I might want to do that.
Well greatness is when you make your delusions your reality. Nothing's
impossible for somebody who's gonna try. If you're gonna try it's capable of
being done. But you'd fight Dyson Fury? Yeah I'd fight a lion if the price is right.
My whole objective is your total surrender, your total domination.
I'm gonna destroy you.
That's why Rogan said when he watched you, you were intimidating.
Your rage is a very unique rage.
Well that's their fault to be intimidating.
I or your list might scare you for something you worked for.
I respect a person who's willing to die for what he truly wants.
Ali had the will to win like nobody that ever lived in boxing.
Then he believes he projected to his opponent.
Really look at how does Ali beat George Foreman?
How does Ali beat Sonny Liston?
How did he beat these guys?
How did he even beat Joe Frazier?
Fighting the way he fights.
He beats them because he refused to lose.
But we have to believe that we're divine
and that we learn from our experience because
confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence.
They go hand in hand.
You have to know who you are first.
You know who I am.
People say, oh, you're great all the time, you're this, you're that.
Whatever they say, I know who I am.
Without self-love, you're nothing.
The self-love is discipline.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go.
And discipline is the way to go. And discipline is the way to go. And discipline is the way to go. And discipline is the way to go. And discipline is the way to go. Whatever they say, I know who I am. Without self-love, you're nothing.
Because self-love is discipline.
And discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.
I never wanted to be obscure.
I was born in obscurity, and I never wanted to deal with that again.
I'm invincible. I'm a savage. I'm ferocious. I'm the smartest savage.
I knew I wasn't going to die before I became champ.
When this is over, everybody's going to know my name.
Did you ever fight somebody that you were like, that they got you?
Was there ever a kid that got you or no?
Absolutely. In order to be good, you have to lose it. Did you ever fight somebody that you were like, that they got you?
Was there ever a kid that got you or no?
Absolutely.
In order to be good, you have to lose it and understand loss.
Because loss is life.
Adversity makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker.
11, 12, 13, what happens next?
I get arrested and I see Muhammad Ali
come and visit the institution that I'm in.
You said you were in jail and Ali shows up?
I'm 12 years old and Ali comes in
and they showed the movie The Greatest first,
so this is 77.
And after the movie, the lights come on and Ali comes in.
And I see him, I want to be just like him.
I don't know how it happened, the spirit hit me, boom, I want to be like him.
And then I get transferred to this other facility, you know, for real bad kids.
I met a gentleman there that was a boxer and he used to teach me how to box.
So he took me to a great training named Customado, and that's why I'm here.
I respected Ali, and I worshiped Ali.
Yeah, this is the moment I knew I wanted to be a fighter.
Unfreaking believable story.
So your inspiration happened at 12 years old.
Yeah.
Then you meet Cus.
Yes.
How was Cus treating you?
What was his way of leading you?
Yes, the degree of his peeling all that dirt and stuff, that insecurity and developing
into character.
And that's why I had a wonderful time with him,
because everything about his life was about me.
This world is one big school,
and we're the students of this world.
The mind is always hungry.
The mind wants to do good,
but we get so many negative thoughts, our minds almost overwhelming to be positive.
Listen, I've been down and up, down and up, broken up, and why am I still here?
Because life is going to give everybody a bad head. No one's going to leave here without being tried in life.
So inspiration.
So is that what got you to be willing to be disciplined to get what you want, like to become a champion?
At 14 years old, I'm willing to do everything it takes to be a champion absolutely and then i had cuss over there
telling me why why should he have it that's one thing i never had in my life being because i
always got picked on and i never had jealousy or envyness about anything and cuss possessed that
you know and he was telling me why should he have all that money and you don't?
Why do you believe that he's better than you? Why do you think he should have all that money and you don't?
And he was really serious about it.
And that was the competition sh**.
That's the right thing, breathing that stuff right in.
Why should he have it and he's not better than you?
How did you handle that when he told you that at 14?
Would it piss you off?
Were you like, I'm going to go train to whoop his ass?
No.
Get there one day, what was your response to it?
He said one day, this guy knew how to really get in my head.
He said, man, you're fighting good, but I wish you were bigger.
I wish you were like Kenny Norton or Mike Weaver
because they had big bodies and they could intimidate somebody.
And that hurt my feelings.
I said, I'll make sure the whole world will be afraid of me
he trained me to be totally ferocious in the ring and out yeah and that's what I
was
that's what I was
push yourself more push yourself when when sometimes you have to submit to yourself.
I'm doing everything.
First thing in the morning, 3 in the morning, do your 4 miles, come back in.
3 in the morning?
Yeah.
Do your 4 miles, come back in, do your body exercise and all that stuff.
After that, I go out to eat breakfast, go to the school, come back from school,
eat mine, then I go back to the gym at six o'clock, train, come back at eight o'clock,
watch fights, start all over again.
Everybody here is going to fight for what they love for.
Even if they never had a fifth fight in their life, they're going to fight.
Listen, once I'm involved in something, I want to know the beginning of it. I want to know where it came from, how it was started, who's the first guy that invented it. That's just how my mind works.
How could you guys even dare fight me? How dare you even think that you could beat me And you sound like a mathematician
When you're talking about the art of boxing
I was born for it
There's nothing I would do
Unless I have the possibility of being humiliated
Because when I succeed
I truly succeed
I was bred to climb high
And high into the sky and tumble down.
I am truly grateful that I found my wings before I hit the ground.
I am truly grateful that I found my wings before I hit the ground.
