They looked at the most successful men and women of the world, and they found that they had like seven, eight things in common. And one of the things they all had in common was a routine. Failing to prepare was preparing to fail. The night before a game, I ate the same food. I went to bed at the same time. I a game, I ate the same food. I went to bed at the
Starting point is 00:00:45 same time. I got up, I ate the same breakfast. So the routine and the preparation, some people call it superstition, but it's a routine. The stronger your mindset is, the greater your skill set is going to be. We remember the stuff we earn, the stuff we experience more than what the teacher tells us or what someone gives us for free. A company is simply a group of people. As a leader of people, you have to be a great listener, you have to be a great motivator, you have to be very good at praising and looking for the best in people. You think Warren Buffett reading just to be reading? The majority of you are poor because you read poor stuff. Everything was done to try to learn how to become a better basketball player. Everything. Everything.
Starting point is 00:01:30 And so when you have that point of view, then literally the world becomes your library to help you to become better at your craft. It's what goes on between this year and this year, and in our hearts, that determine our lives out there. There's no world out there except what's going on here. I think it's important that you really like whatever you're doing. If you don't like it, life is too short. If I'm lying to you about who I am or I'm lying to you about whatever, there's no starting point. There's a false reality. You have to create
Starting point is 00:02:02 the real reality. It's a good separation for me, you know, emotionally to be able to put myself in a place where at practice or when I'm training or doing games, I switched my mind to something else. I became number one in the world. I became a millionaire, not because I made more money. I became a millionaire because they told me millionaires only live off of 30% of their income. I became a millionaire because they told me millionaires only live off of 30% of their income. I became a millionaire because I did what millionaires did. I stopped living off 100%. What does it mean time is money, right?
Starting point is 00:02:33 How do you multiply time? How do you buy time? Rich people buy time. Welcome to Daily Motivation, where you get motivated and inspired. Most of the people watching this thing should either not be in business, if they've got one, or close the f***er down, if they've got one.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Because you got in business for all the wrong reasons, and you don't have the balls to close them down. Because of what other people are going to say. You have no idea how limitless it is
Starting point is 00:03:07 when you're not afraid of what other people think or say. You have no idea. There's not two people watching this thing that even has a concept of what it is to act as if you have no limits to your abilities. Zero. I wrote a book called The Millionaire Booklet. I wrote that book in two hours.
Starting point is 00:03:30 It was translated in 38 languages for free because of my social media standing around the world. I just asked a bunch of people, can you help me? 38 languages in literally one month. The whole book was produced, written, translated. Like, you need friends. Counterintuitive,uitive 50 page pamphlet type book yeah you're making not the new york times bestseller yeah where'd that come from another contrarian idea again again like like the book publishers
Starting point is 00:03:55 you know they're they're dying they're they're they're they're they're come on man you don't that's antiquated that you don't even count digital downloads. What's wrong with you guys? So give them something they can read in a couple hours. It took me 19 months to write my last book because the publisher was involved. I'm not supposed to write a book while I'm writing a book. So I wrote a booklet. Wrote the booklet in two hours. The booklet made more money in 19 days than the other book made in 19 months.
Starting point is 00:04:30 And was translated in 38 languages. The other book that took 19 months, publishers, editors, you know, all this energy, all this wasted freaking energy and money, still hasn't been translated. So, speed, see, is now back to how fast can I work? Compressed time. Time is money. Most people don't even understand the concept. Like, what does that even mean? They say it, but they don't know what it means.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah, oh, it's a cute saying. It's a perfect t-shirt. But they're not actually applying it to their life. No, they're like, what does that mean, man? What does it mean, time is money, right? How do you multiply time? How do you buy time? Rich people buy time. So never say, I? What does it mean time is money? Right? How do you multiply time? How do you buy time? Rich people buy time.
Starting point is 00:05:06 So never say, I can't afford it. My rich dad forbade his son and me to say the words, I can't. He says, ask yourself, how can I? So,
Starting point is 00:05:23 you know like the reason I have so much money is because I don't say I can't do it I just go how can I do it and I just go and do it I make a lot of mistakes but that's how I learn how can I
Starting point is 00:05:39 the poorest the poor people like my poor dad always said I can't afford it you think I'm made of money I'm a school teacher I can't do that and I picked that up like my poor dad, always said I can't afford it. Do you think I'm made of money? I'm a school teacher. I can't do that. And I picked that up. And my rich dad never said those words. So when I meet poor people, they use the words I can't a lot.
Starting point is 00:05:59 It's like my wife Kim is gorgeous, absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. The first thing I said is, she won't go out with me. My friends kept saying, she won't go out with me. You know, my friends kept saying, she'll never go out with you. And I said, well, if that stopped me, she never will. So I asked her out for six months. So, do you know what I mean? It's what goes on between this year and this year and in our hearts that determine our lives out there. There's no world out there
Starting point is 00:06:26 except what's going on here. So the people that say, I can't afford it, I can't do this, I can't get to college, the rich are evil, I choose not to participate in that. And that's one thing people could change today. Could they?
Starting point is 00:06:38 Right now is that dialogue in their head. Stop saying the word can't. I can't. Right. How can I? How can I? Especially as in, I can't afford afford it how can i afford that because that opens them up to looking at it as an investment to a greater future right you know when i borrowed 300 million dollars i couldn't do it
Starting point is 00:06:56 when i told i went to ask and i got turned down so many times i said you know and every time i showed the bank of my financials and they go sorry sorry, I said, look, do me a favor. Why did you turn me down? And he'd tell me, this is out, the numbers are out here, so if I get these numbers fixed, can I come see you again? He goes, sure. And he'd turn me down again, but I'd go back and I'd make sure the numbers were real and fix it
Starting point is 00:07:29 so it's called rejection same as my wife rejecting me for six months it's just a matter of personal willpower which is spiritual if they can do it I can do it and how can I and I think as you once said, words become flesh.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yep. You think Warren Buffett reading just to be reading? The majority of you are poor because you read poor stuff. You watch poor stuff. You're on Instagram watching fights. You're just scrolling through like you ain't got a life. For real, some of y'all on Instagram, you on there for 30 minutes. If I ask you what you saw, you don't even know.
Starting point is 00:08:10 You just scrolling through. That's a poverty mindset. Rich people don't waste time. They realize it's their most important commodity. They don't watch a lot of TV. They don't do a lot of entertainment. If they're not working, they're studying their craft
Starting point is 00:08:27 and getting better at their craft. Oh, you, okay, I'm sorry. Okay, let me say it one more time. There was a language that I needed to learn. Does it mean I need to abandon the language that I learned? Absolutely not. Does it mean I need to put on a shirt and tie?
Starting point is 00:08:42 Listen to me. When I do corporate, I promise you, I look like this. I probably don't look this good. Sometimes I got on put on a shirt and tie up? Listen to me. When I do corporate, I promise you I look like this. I probably don't look this good. Sometimes I got on shorts and a t-shirt. In corporate, why? Because I don't need to necessarily conform. They're not asking me to come to dress up.
Starting point is 00:08:55 But I'm so good at what I do, they don't even require a suit. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Some of us don't want to wear a suit, but you're not on that level, though. Or you want to wear a suit and act as if your suit is going to compensate for what you are inferior at. Your suit don't make your language sweet. For real, some of you wear suits because you think like you're going to impress somebody with a suit. And you might get in the door, but sooner or later, they're going to find out who you are. So I need you to stop having a poverty mindset.
Starting point is 00:09:27 So when I quit my job to be an entrepreneur, my mom was like, whoa, what are you doing? I was like, I'm quitting. My mom was like, don't you dare quit. You're going to embarrass me. You got a wife and kids. Does YouTube have insurance? Does YouTube have a 401k?
Starting point is 00:09:41 And I was like, yo, ma, I ain't trying to be funny and I ain't trying to be disrespectful. I love you, but you can't teach me how to be a millionaire because you're not one. You come from the working class and I'm not mad at you, ma. We wouldn't be where we are without you. But you told me that every generation is supposed to get better. So I'll take your values, but I won't take your work ethic. Because rich people don't work, they think. The working class will never get rich.
Starting point is 00:10:09 It wasn't designed. Oh, okay. Listen to me. This country became a wealthy country because they had employees they didn't have to pay. That's not like a rocket science. So when this country had to start paying people they want to pay the least the three percent that run the world they're not trying let me let me tell you how i know i'm from detroit we just laid off 15 000 workers and
Starting point is 00:10:37 the president of gm she just got 22 million dollars we got 22 million dollars to give one person when we land off 15 000 people and we took their health care that's already paid for no disrespect to nobody and i ain't playing no victim because i'm not a victim rich people don't work they think poor people work poor people go clock in I make this much an hour. Rich people go, I put them to work and I make this much an hour. See what happens is you're working for you and your family. One, they got 40 of you working at one time. So they're giving you 20% and then they're keeping the 80%
Starting point is 00:11:27 off of 15,000 people. That's enough to have $22 million. So what you have to decide is are you going to keep being the 99% or are you ready to be a part of the 1%? Because it doesn't make a difference where you come from high school dropout. It doesn't make a difference
Starting point is 00:11:42 where you come from GED. It doesn't make a difference where you come from sleeping in abandoned buildings. It doesn't make a difference where you come from high school dropout. It doesn't make a difference where you come from GED. It doesn't make a difference where you come from sleeping in abandoned buildings. It doesn't make a difference where you come from a 17-year-old mom that got pregnant. It doesn't make a difference where you come from south side of Chicago. It doesn't make a difference where you come from pretty much raised in Detroit. It doesn't make a difference where you come from took 12 years to get a four-year degree. It doesn't make a difference. Well, you know what makes a difference? What makes a difference is when you become a 99% or a 1%. And when I start thinking like, acting like, and behaving like a 1%-er, everything changed. Is that clear? Stay with us. We'll be right back.

You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go and if you don't have a goal where you go,
Starting point is 00:13:39 you drift around and you never end up anywhere. I mean, as you know, I was born in 1947 in Austria after the Second World War. So I was very fortunate that I stumbled on my vision. And I didn't really like Austria when I grew up. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I couldn't see myself becoming a farmer or a worker in a factory or anything like that. Even though my parents wanted me to stay there and have a normal life. But that was their vision, not mine. My vision was totally different.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I felt that I was born for something special, for something unique, for something big. Then one day I went to school. I remember I was 11 years old. And they showed a documentary about America. There they showed in this documentary the huge skyscrapers, the high rises,
Starting point is 00:14:34 the huge bridges, the six lane freeways and all of this stuff and I said to myself, that's where I want to be. I don't want to be around here with these little farmhouses and these little buildings. I want to be in America. One day after school, I walked by a store in Graz.
Starting point is 00:14:54 So I went inside and I looked around and then I saw a magazine. I saw a bodybuilding magazine that had Reg Park on the cover. Reg Park was then a three-time Mr. Universe. And I saw him on the big screen as Hercules. I read that and I said to myself, wow, this is the blueprint for my life. This is exactly what I want to do. I want to become a bodybuilding champion
Starting point is 00:15:20 just like Reg Park. I want to get into movies just like Reg Park. And I want to make millions of dollars and be rich and famous just like Reg Park. You know how great it felt that I knew where I was going? Imagine the majority of people don't know where they're going. I knew where I was going, that I'm going to become this bodybuilding champion just like him. So it was just a question of how do you do it? I was so relieved because when you have a goal, when you have a vision, everything becomes easy.
Starting point is 00:15:57 So people always ask me when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they say, why is it that you're working out so hard five hours a day six hours a day and you have always a smile on your face and i told people all the time i said because to me i'm shooting for gold in front of me is the mr universe title so every rep that i do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal, to make this goal, this vision, turn into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition, every weight that I lift will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality.
Starting point is 00:16:38 So I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squat. I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound bench press. I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound bench press. I couldn't wait to do another 2000 reps of sit ups. I couldn't wait for the next exercise. With the age of 20 I went to London and I won the Mr. Universe contest as the youngest Mr. Universe ever. And it was because I had a goal. So let me tell you something. Visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun. You've got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life. You've got to have a purpose.
Starting point is 00:17:17 But you have to do something every day that scares you. Scares you. And that's a takeoff from Helen Keller who said or not said she was deaf dumb everything she couldn't do anything and she said every day she did something to scare her self well if you and I had all those afflictions just getting out of bed would be scary enough and so I decided that one of the differentiations between the people that got the most out of bed would be scary enough. And so I decided that one of the differentiations between the people that got the most
Starting point is 00:17:47 out of the week-long seminar and the year-long free mentoring for me is people that really press themselves hard. So I translated that into they've got to do something and list it, what they did to scare themselves every single day. Is that the essence of really what you do is getting people to take more risk,
Starting point is 00:18:06 or to get out of their comfort zones, and then the wealth comes later? It's not just out of their comfort zones. It's the change of reality. Okay, you know, your reality is different than my reality, and you know, your followers' realities are all different. But it's the change of reality and to make yourself accountable that's not just getting outside your comfort zone making yourself accountable okay not just accountable not
Starting point is 00:18:34 accountable to somebody else kind of both of you me you know yourself because that's the ultimate ultimately that's the only person you should be accountable to is yourself and we grow up up, in my judgment, wrongly, that we don't hold ourselves accountable enough. We just don't. We've learned to come up with reasons why we can't do this, reasons why it's okay not to do this, reasons why you didn't follow up on time,
Starting point is 00:19:02 reasons why I told the guy I'd get back to him by Wednesday, it's now Friday, oh, it's the weekend the guy I'd get back to him by Wednesday. It's now Friday. Oh, it's the weekend. I'll now get back to him on Monday. And life has gotten simpler now. With the internet and with email and the things where the communication is almost instant, you'd think it should be easier. But it's not.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I use the analogy. 25, 30 years ago you go in and buy a $100 million company your due diligence would be 3, 4, 5 weeks and it'd take you 3, 4, 5 weeks
Starting point is 00:19:32 to close the deal. Okay, a month and a half. 6 to 8 weeks. With the internet it should take less time because the information is instantaneous. It takes us twice as long to close a deal now. Twice as long. It should take less time because the information is instantaneous.
Starting point is 00:19:47 It takes us twice as long to close a deal now. Twice as long. There's no reason for that. Things haven't gotten twice as complicated. But somebody has to put their name on the line. Somebody wants to push off the accountability. Somebody would rather have Brian sign off on it so I go home early on a Thursday knowing you're going to come in early on a Monday and your signature will
Starting point is 00:20:11 be on the document instead of mine because I don't want to be accountable. And so the kids today have this need. It's like this thirst for guidance. And the kids do better in the year-long mentor program than the older kids. So the kids in their teens and 20s do better than the guys in their 40s and 50s. That's because the guys in their 40s and 50s got a lot of baggage. Bad habits. Bad habits, you know, and it's tough to get rid of them. And the, you know, motivation gets you started. Good habits keep you going.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Most people just have piss-poor habits. And, you know, I've had these same habits for about 50 years now, okay? About 50 years. And I don't even think about it. I mean, it's just like brushing my teeth, taking a shower. I just do it.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And in one of the other interviews that I did with you I said when I do feel wimpish which isn't too often I just say come on and and I just go out and do it and and and and I do that about my entire life everything about it and and and I know that if I hadn't to build up these habits 20 30 years ago you know at 70, I certainly wouldn't be doing this. I don't fail very often. I do fail. You're pretty open about all the failures.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Yeah, I'm not ashamed of them. That's what's made me who I am. You said failure is just testing. Correct. It's just testing. And I don't know. I'm quick to pull the trigger two ways. I'm quick to pull the trigger and trying something. And I'm quick to pull the trigger and closing something.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Just turn the key. What does that mean? Turn the key. Turn the key means close the business. Most of the people watching this thing should either not be in business if they've got one or close the f***er down if they got one. Because you got in business for all the wrong reasons and you don't have the balls to close them down because of what other people are going to say. You have no idea how limitless it is when you're not afraid of what other people think or say.
Starting point is 00:22:30 You have no idea. There's not two people watching this thing that even has a concept of what it is to act as if you have no limits to your abilities. Zero. Lack of self-esteem, lack of self-worth. Now they think they have self-worth. They think because they've made a few bucks. But in actuality, and when they measure it against the other 8, 10, 12 people sitting around the table, they realize or they start to question, hell, maybe I was just lucky. Now, all of us, when you're only a one-trick guy or gal, think, was I lucky? Now, I've done it so many times, I know I wasn't lucky.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I might have been lucky the first time, but I haven't been lucky the 15, 20, 40, 50, 60, I know that. But maybe I was lucky the first time. But my life changed when I went. I was pretty much a haphazard kid, got in a lot of trouble, got arrested four or five times, thrown in jail. And this was when my dad was a cop. But then I volunteered for the draft in 1966 at the height of the Vietnam War. And I went to OCS.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And that changed my life because it was the really first real high performance thing that I could measure myself against other, with other people. Two thirds of all Fortune 500 CEOs have one thing in common, military background. Really? Two thirds of those two thirds have something else, martial arts. What do you learn in martial arts Brian?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Discipline, focus. A lot of people don't believe they deserve to be there. I convince them and we have these drills why you belong there. A lot of people that come there you know with money that have made money think they made it by accident. I just had one of my superstars who's made a hundred million bucks tell me in the last week, you know, I'm not sure I'm going to have another lucky accident. And I said, you did it. I mean, you know, you tried a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Thomas Edison, I wouldn't have done it 10,000 times. I would have hired an engineer from MIT to do it. i mean uh i've tried a lot of things nobody's failed at more things than i have and the first hundred million are successes but i could write a book about failures that it'd be i mean because i've tried a lot of different things because failure is just testing and uh one of the reasons i've been so successful in generating this equity and value in my kids, and I call you all kids, is because I convince them that making a mistake is okay. Your parents probably told you,
Starting point is 00:25:14 you can be anything you want, but you can't. That's horse sh**. You can't. It's all juxtaposed. But what you tell them is that you can do anything you want that you have passion for, because that eliminates most of the crap, because most people don't follow their dream. You know, like they say in the sound of music, you can't have a dream come true unless you have a dream. Now, I still dream. I dream in technicolor. I say my affirmations and goals every single night. It's bloody hard to be a high performance person.
Starting point is 00:25:54 74% hate their job in America. Now, this is not much different when you come to Europe. The majority of people don't like what they're doing because they're really not doing it because they didn't have a goal and they followed this goal. They just aimlessly drift around and then all of a sudden there's a job opening so they get that job because you have to work. But then when you work, it's a chore.
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's work. It's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about only a quarter of the people really enjoy what they're doing in life. That is unbelievable if you think about it. So I felt so blessed that I knew what I was doing. It's like a medical student that studies and knows he wants to become a doctor. You know where to go. And the same thing is also in politics.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I remember that in politics, I had a very clear vision that I will be the leader of California. That's as far as I could go because I was not born in America, so I could not run for president. So being the governor of the fifth largest state, I should say the largest state, the fifth largest economy in the world was for me really the ultimate title, the ultimate accomplishment in politics.
Starting point is 00:27:15 So even though people came up to me and said, why don't you go and run for something smaller? You're never going to make it. I ran for governor and then two months later I became governor of the state of California. Again, because I had a very clear vision what I'm going to do with California. So that's rule number one, have a vision. Rule number two is don't listen to the naysayers. Don't listen to the naysayers. Everything I ever did,
Starting point is 00:27:57 the thing that I heard out of people's mouth was, that's impossible. That can't be done. Or no. That is exactly what I heard. And of course, I proved to the people that it can't be done or no that is exactly what I heard and of course I proved to the people that it can't be done so whenever someone said to me it can't be done I heard it can be done when they said no I heard yes and when they said it's impossible I heard it is possible I'm a strong believer of what Nelson Mandela said, that everything is always impossible until someone does it. Well, I'm going to be the one that said to myself,
Starting point is 00:28:35 I'm going to do it and I'm going to show it to them. Maybe it has never been done before. That's perfectly fine with me, but I'm going to do it. And I did not listen to the naysayers. Success means different things to different people. For some, success might be financial achievements, becoming a millionaire, for example. For some, it might mean accolades. For sportsmen, it may mean trophies, championships, or medals. For some, being successful might simply mean achieving a state of wellness, health, or happiness. Whatever it means to you, take note of these 10 habits of all successful people. They apply to any area and any meaning of success. Number one, they set goals. You've probably never met a successful person who doesn't set goals.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Because the chances of you finding what you want without a clear target to move forward are right around zero. If you don't know where you're going, you will end up someplace you didn't plan to be. Setting goals should be the number one priority for anyone seeking success. Define exactly what it is you want, your end goal. Break down exactly what is required to get there, mini goals. Make sure your why, your reason for doing what you must do is strong.
