Starting point is 00:00:39 Imagine you read one hour a day about history. How much you will learn after 365 hours in one year. Think about if you study about the history of musicians, of composers, how much you would know. Well, it's one for the money. Imagine if you will work on the business and some business that you want to develop every day for an hour. Imagine how further along you will go. We don't have the time.

Starting point is 00:01:11 We have 24 hours a day. We sleep six hours a day, so it gives you still 18 hours. The average person works around 8 to 10 hours. Let's assume it's 10 hours, so we have 8 hours left. Then you travel around an hour a day, maybe 2 hours a day. So now you have still six hours left. So what do you do with the six hours? What do we do with the six hours?

Starting point is 00:01:35 Then we eat a little bit, then we schmooze a little bit, talk a little bit to people and all that stuff. But you can see how much time there is available if you organize your day. So you got to work hard. I mean, let me tell you something. When I went to America, I went to college,

Starting point is 00:01:52 I went and worked out five hours a day, and I was working on construction because in those days in bodybuilding there was no money I didn't have the money for food supplements or anything so I had to go to work so I worked on construction I went to college I worked out in the gym

Starting point is 00:02:13 and at night from 8 o'clock at night to 12 midnight I went to acting class four times a week so I did all that there was not one single minute that I wasted. And this is why I'm standing here today. And it drives me crazy when people say

Starting point is 00:02:36 they don't have enough time to go to the gym for 45 minutes a day and work out. Or to do something for 45 minutes to an hour a day to improve, if it is physically improve or if it is mentally to improve. I became very friendly with Muhammad Ali in the 70s. And Muhammad Ali

Starting point is 00:02:58 worked his butt off and I saw it first hand and I remember that there was a sports writer that was there in the gym when he was working out and he was doing sit-ups and they asked him how many sit-ups do you do and he said I don't start counting until it hurts

Starting point is 00:03:19 now think about that he doesn't start counting his sit-ups until he feels pain that's when he starts counting. That is working hard. And so you can't get around the hard work. It doesn't matter of what it is. As a matter of fact, I believe what Ted Turner said,

Starting point is 00:03:41 work like hell and advertise. Work like hell. Go to bed early to rise. Work like hell and advertise. So you work your ass off and then you let the world know about your work. That's what it is all about. Let people know if you have a company, if you have a movie, if you do a sports, work your ass off, but then advertise and let everyone know.

Starting point is 00:04:09 The first rule of success is to have a vision. You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go and if you don't have a goal where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere. born in 1947 in Austria after the Second World War. 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.

Starting point is 00:04:41 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. I felt that I was born for something something. special for something unique, for something big. So I was searching as a bodybuilding magazine that had Reg. Park on the cover. Reg. Park was then a three-time Mr. Universe. And I saw him on a big screen as Hercules. And on the cover it said, how Reg. Park missed the universe became the Hercules star. I read that and I said to myself, wow.

Starting point is 00:05:21 This is the blueprint for my life. This is exactly what I want to do. I want to become a bodybuilding champion just like Reg Park. 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 in your face.

Starting point is 00:05:49 The others are working out just as hard as you do, and they look sour in the face. Why is that? And I told people all the time, I said, because to me, I'm shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title. So every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal,

Starting point is 00:06:09 to make this goal, this vision turn into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition, every weight that I live will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality. 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 2,000 reps of sit-ups.

Starting point is 00:06:33 I couldn't wait for the next exercise. For the next half hour of posing and all the kind of things that you have to do, you'll be a champion. We all fail. It's okay. What is not okay is that when you fail, you stay down. Whoever stays down is a loser. And winners will fail and get up.

Starting point is 00:07:11 Fail and get up. Fail and get up. You always get up. That is a winner. That is a winner. I failed in bodybuilding. I lost bodybuilding competitions. I lost powerlifting competitions.

Starting point is 00:07:29 I lost weightlifting competitions. I had movies that went in the toilet and that were terrible and got the worst reviews. And in politics, I remember I had many of the initiatives on the ballot and be lost. By approval rating in California went down to 28%. And then it went back up again and they won again the governorship. Hey, we all lose. We all have lost us. This is okay. And this is why I say, don't be worried about losing because when you're afraid of losing then you get frozen you get stiff you're not relaxed you got to be in order to perform well in anything if it's in boxing or if it is on your job or with your thinking is only happening when you relax so relax it's okay

Starting point is 00:08:25 to fail let's just go all out and give it everything that you got that's what it is all about so don't be afraid to fail
