Hello listeners, Motivosity is excited to share that we have launched a new podcast called Morning Motivation by Motivore.

For today's episode of Motivation Daily by Motivority Podcast, we are sharing a recent episode from the Morning Motivation podcast. If you like it, go follow the show. New episodes are being released every week. The link is in the description. 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 morning. 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. 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 this six hours? What do we do with the six hours? 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, 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 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 they don't have enough time to go to the gym for 45 minutes a day and workout. 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 Mohammed Ali in the 70s. Muhammad Ali worked his butt off. And I saw it firsthand.

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. 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 who it is. As a matter of fact, I believe what Ted Turner said, 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. 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. 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 special, for something unique, for something big. So I was searching as a bodybuilding magazine that had Reg. Park on the cover. Regge Park was then a three-time Mr. Universe. And I saw him on the 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, 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 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 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 to do another 2,000 reps of sit-ups. 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 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. 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. I lost weightlifting competitions. I had movies that went in the toilet and that were terrible. 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've 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 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.
