The link is in the description. 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. They are obsessed with their routine. They don't have a gap of wasted time their routine. You know, I realize the reason why I'm so successful and the reason why I don't get in trouble like I used to when I was younger

because when I was younger man my schedule has so many gaps in the devil had like okay he might pray at six but my man is watching deep he's playing video games by 830 it's not that I'm sweeter than nobody the devil can't get to me because all my time is taken up and by the time he gets to me I'm sleep I'm too sleep to I'm just being real 830 he's like Eric you should I'm like bro I'm tired I can come back to me tomorrow you know what I'm saying like tip me tomorrow bro I'm about to go to sleep I'm good My body said, oh, you got to put your shoes on, that's the hardest thing you got to do. Just put your shoes on and I'll do the rest.

I can't put your shoes on for you, but put your shoes on and then just go. And I just went and I was walking for the, I do the 11 incline boy, and I was just walking for an hour. And I was just like, you know what, it's almost an hour. I don't feel like burning. My body was like, don't even worry about it. We'll get to that when we get to it. I did my hour. I was about to get off.

My body was like, you know we run now. I said, what? We run now. Let's go. You ain't tired? I said, I am tired. No, you're not. You just walk for an hour. You're not tired, Eric. Your brain is telling you some dumb stuff. If you were tired, you wouldn't have been able to walk for an hour. Okay, so let's do this. Just run for two minutes. I'm trying to help somebody right now go to a whole other level. The reason why you go back to sleep is because you always go back to sleep. It's like a default.

You go back to sleep because you always, all you got to do is stop going to sleep. And then you're going to stop going to sleep. All you got to do is stop fussing and cussing and you're going to stop fussing in cussing. All you got to stop spending all the money you got and start saving it. Listen to me, 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 their income. I want to make it playing for you. I became a millionaire because I did what millionaires did.

I stopped living off 100%. I paid my tie and then I was like, And then I was like all right E, you only got 20% left with the rest up. So the first thing I did listen to me the very first thing I did to become rich Somebody said eat to be rich but six months of your earning to the side I was like all right bad that's what the rich told me to do so I put six months to the side How long did it take I don't remember but I put it to the side Then somebody was like yo E you need to put a hundred thousand to the side I was like all right hundred thousand

D D D D we're gonna put a hundred thousand to the side there's somebody was like yo you need to get your credit score up to a hundred I was like, all right, give my credit score pay on you. Then somebody said, E.T. If you want to be Tony Robbins, there's no way you'll be able to be like those dudes when you don't have the language they have. You're going to get your master's in a PhD from a white institution. I said, what? I went to Oakwood.

I went to HBCU. He was like, yeah, but you didn't learn the language of Zig Zig or at Oakland. So Oakwood is a phenomenal play. Oh, y'all not hear what I'm saying. I just said something. You missed it. Now you need to go to Michigan State University. CJ, where's my, you see my master's degree anywhere?

I thought about my PhD, not in the office, not at church, you ain't seen it in my house? I didn't go to Michigan State to get a PhD, I went to Michigan State to learn the majority language. Listen to me very closely, when you graduate and you get a job, if you want to get paid, you never say no. You never say it can't get done. Don't you ever say out your mouth, it can't get done. Even if you feel in your heart, it can't get done. You don't say it out live. You let the broke folks say that.

You let the folks they find first say that. first said that you always say it can get done even if you don't think it can get done just say it and try to make up something but every time i put on a dress shirt and button it up i just feel and i hear people say all the time man you look like you dressed a success i'm like is putting on a shirt and the tie dress for success i'm dressed for success i'm getting paid i'm dressed like he dressed but i'm dressed the way i feel comfortable i feel good being me I feel good not to have to fight. Not only can I say no, I don't have to explain why I said it no more. It feels good being me.

Because guess what? I can never be sweet being you. The majority of you are poor because you read poor stuff. You watch poor stuff. You're just scrolling through like you ain't got a light. For real, some of y'all on Instagram, you're on there for 30 minutes. If I ask you what you saw, you don't know. You just scrolling through.

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 and getting better at their craft. So I need you to stop having a poverty mindset. So when I quit my job to be an entrepreneur, my mom was like, whoa, what are you doing? I was like, I'm quick. My mom was like, don't you dare quit.

You're going to embarrass me, you got to wipe and kids. Does YouTube have insurance? Does YouTube have a 401k? And I was like, your mom, I ain't trying to be funny and I ain't I'm trying to be disrespectful. I love you. But you can't teach me how to be a millionaire because you're not. 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 at them. Because rich people don't work, they think. Poor people go, clock in, I make this much an hour. Rich people go, I put them to work and I make this much in a house. See, what happens is you're working for you and you. your family won, they got 40 of you working at one time. So they're giving you 20% and then they keeping the 80% off of 15,000 people. So what you have to decide is, are you going to keep being

the 99% or are you ready to be a partner with 1%? Because it doesn't make a difference where you come from high school drop out. It doesn't make a difference where you come from GED. 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 took 12 years to get a four year degree. It doesn't make a difference. You know what 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% of it. So I went to every single class and when the teachers was talking, they thought I was

just doing homework. I wasn't, I was listening to how they conjugate verbs. I was listening to how they tell stories. I was like, ooh, they, oh, I peeped it out y'all, they way more linear. So then I realized when you do corporate is A, B. C, D, E, F. It's one, two, three, four, five. It's topic, body, body, body. It's topic, support, support, support, conclusion. I need your language, though, if I'm going to compete. I need your rules if I'm going to compete. I need your codes if I'm going to compete. The problem with most of you is you don't have a 1% language. You got a poverty language. There was a language that I need to.

to learn does it does it mean I need to abandon the language that I learned absolutely don't be average like for real for real whatever it is you do like do like do it do it and take a different perspective listen to me very closely the problem I have with most kids if I tell you what it take most of you will die of exhaustion you pass out before you make $10,000 you just pass out you don't got the heart for it you just don't have you don't have a salmon for it You just you couldn't take what it really takes. Just for those you don't know, when they came from Africa and were enslaved, they didn't move them to San Diego. They wasn't doing talk to San Diego.

I just want to give you some perspective. They were in Mississippi, Alabama. It was smoking hot and they didn't quit and they didn't give up because they said, we're going to get to this for the next generation. Come on. Our Latino brothers and sisters who were migrant workers, they, come on. Come on, they and the E! There wasn't no AC! And the stuff that y'all complained about,

the stuff that y'all think is like hard.
