I don't belong in this room.
I remember the videos had already been out.
My numbers were great, and I would come in rooms and go,
or like that room, like I go to a high school, like, boom.
I go to a youth detention center.
Boom!
I go to a prison.
Boom!
I come to corporate and go, I don't know if I belong in here.
Everybody in the room don't look like me.
They don't come from where I come from.
I don't know if I belong here.
And I'll never forget.
I had a conversation with Les Brown.
Les Brown had called me to Orlando.
We sat in the hotel and I left and I started talking to Les.
And I started naming like, yo, you, Les Brown, this person,
number one in the world, he said, don't you ever say that again.
I said, don't say what?
He said you the best in the world right now.
I said, what?
He said you the best in the world right now.
There's nobody is.
good as you in the world. You're the best right now. The only reason you're not the best
right now is because you don't believe you the best now. And when you walk out this room,
I want you to go into me and tell you. I'm the best right now. He said before you even become number
one, start to proclaim it and say it long before it happened, say I'm the number one motivational
speaking the world. And when I was number 20, I started saying I'm the number one motivational
speaking the world. And I went to the computer. And the world said exactly what I said, that Eric
Thomas is number one in the world. I spoke it, the world heard it, and it activated.
Your problem is that you don't believe you belong here.
Your problem is that you don't think you should be sitting down here.
So listen to me, there are those of you saying I want to be a millionaire, I want to be
the best of this company, right?
But your value system says you believe in sleep more than you believe in Brian being.
That you're spending more money than you're making.
Why?
Because you're a consort, but you're reading all the books.
when you're saying everything the books are staying, but those books are not in alignment
with your value.
And you're going to go to the next level, your values are going to have to change.
When I believed my voice was needed in this world, when I believed that I needed to be
on the stage, not for myself, but to speak to a group of people who come from where I come
from, a working class, who don't know what it's like to make millions of millions of dollars,
who don't understand what wealth looks like, that I needed to come in the room with a single
parent mother with a father not in my life being homeless in a high school dropout only
somebody who comes from where you come from can tell you you belong and I had to get my butt on
stage because there's some folks that Les Brown can't reach there's some folks that Tony Robbins
can't read there's some folks that only I can reach and so I need to be on the stage with them
doing what I was called to do but what you cannot do is you cannot quit doing the process you
You cannot give up because it ain't what you see.
You cannot give up.
Champions keep going when they don't have anything left in their tank.
When you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe, that's when you find a way.
Some of y'all have been worshiped since you was in high school, so you don't really know how to grind.
Like you talk grind.
Like I love it.
Like I go into the wave room and y'all playing like Pock.
Y'all playing biggie.
Like y'all all in it.
Like you like you like pop, but you don't have a spirit of pop
You like love pop
You like listening to pot
You like listen to Biggie
You like to talk about the grind
But you don't really know what the grind's like
I know what the grind is like
I was homeless
