New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. I hate plan B. Everything I ever did, the thing that they heard out of people's mouth was,

Starting point is 00:00:51 that's impossible. That can't be done or no. We have so many doubters, the no-sayers. We have so many of those people that say no and you can't do it, that's impossible. But when you start doubting yourself, that's very dangerous. Because now what you're basically saying is that if my plan doesn't work, I have a fallback plan. I have a plan B. You're taking away now that thought and that energy from plan A.

Starting point is 00:01:33 So whenever someone said to me, it can't be done. I heard, it can be done. When they say, no, I heard yes. And when they say it's impossible, I heard, it is possible. Because I am a strong believer. I'm telling you, I've never ever had a plane B. I made a full commitment that I'm going to go and be a body bowling champion. I made a full commitment that I'm going to be in America.

Starting point is 00:02:05 I made a full commitment that I'm going to get in the show business and I'm going to be a leading man no matter what it takes, I would do the work. And it's very important to understand that we function better if there is no safety net. Because plan B becomes a safety net. It says that if I fail, then I fall and I get picked up and I have something else there that was, will protect me. What is if I fail then I don't have anything else? Well let me tell you

Starting point is 00:02:38 something, don't be afraid of failing because there's nothing wrong with failing. 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? Why is that? And I told people all the time, I said, because to me, I'm shooting for a goal. So every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal to make this goal, this vision, turn into reality.

Starting point is 00:03:14 Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said, you are unbelievable, you're the greatest basketball player of all times. And he says, well, you're just mentioning the successes. But he says, for me to become the greatest basketball player, I missed 9,000 shots when I was playing basketball at the NBA games.

Starting point is 00:03:37 Does it make him a failure? No. He's one of the greatest basketball players of four times, but he failed 9,000 times. Do you get it? We all fail. It's okay. What is another case is that when you fail, you stay down. It's all about the hard work that you put in. 74% hate their job in America.

Starting point is 00:04:10 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 over a sudden there's a job opening so they get their job. Because you have to work. But then when you work, it's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about only a quarter of the people really,

Starting point is 00:04:35 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. 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. It's like you can have the best ship in the world.

Starting point is 00:05:04 You can have the best airplane in the world. But if the pilot or the captain doesn't know where to go, it would just drift around. It would not end up anywhere or most likely in a wrong place. 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.

Starting point is 00:05:42 My vision was totally different. I felt that I was born for something special, for something unique, for something big. Do 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. So it was just a question of how do you do it? I'm shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title.

Starting point is 00:06:12 So every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplish. 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. 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 for the next exercise. 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. With the age of 20, I went to London and I won the Mr. Universe contest as the youngest

Starting point is 00:06:55 Mr. Universe ever. And it was because I had a goal. If I would have listened to the naysayers, from bodybuilding to show business, to politics, I would not be standing here today, talking to you. So this is why I say don't listen to the naysayers. I've never ever had a plan B. I would do the work over and over and over until I get it. It is very dangerous to have a plan B because you're cutting yourself off

Starting point is 00:07:36 from the chance of really succeeding. And the reason, one of the main reasons why people want to have a plan B is because they have worried about failing. We all fail. Winners will fail and get up. Fail and get up. Fail and get up. That is a winner.

Starting point is 00:08:00 That is a winner. 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. In order to perform well in anything if it's in boxing or if it is on your job

Starting point is 00:08:15 or with your thinking is only happening when you relax. It's okay 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. It's all about the hard work that you put in. So they all say that's impossible. That's impossible.

Starting point is 00:08:40 That can't be done. But I didn't listen to those losers. I didn't listen to them at all. And it was because I had a goal. Because I believed.
