What pissed you off the most? What is it? Myself. Why? Huh? Because I'm lazy. When was the last time you did something? 100%? I can't remember.

What are you afraid of? Tell me. Screw it up. Damn, I... It's just screwed up. I've died all my life. I'm a failure. You're not a failure. Yes.

You are not. We all make mistakes in life. Embrace change. When you're getting in there and you're overthinking and all these things coming too much of like, after this, this and this, after a four second negative, oh my God, that's going to be so hard. I should drop the weight. Then, like, no, just fucking get in there, know what you can do. Bust your ass and get out of there.

Sometimes overthinking it holds you back. People want to, they want to jump from day one to day 10 by getting some big seed money or big investment. And dude, I don't care how much. money I made. I try to pretend like I'm broke every single day in the way that I think because it forces me to create new solutions and innovate in my brain. I had one of my sales guys who I said, dude, I don't see you at the gym. And he said, you know, I'm just really busy. And I just like, look to him. And I was like, you will never have more time and less responsibility than you do now. So I kind of used the James Clear thing. I said, hey, if you can't make it work now,

except that you're never going to be in shape for the rest of your life. It was like, whoa. I was think about it. Rid yourself. Right, yeah. I was like, you're just never going to be in shit. He was like, well, I mean, yeah. I was like, right. So do it or don't.

But stop wanting it. I promise you, you don't want to be that old person sitting on your deathbed, looking back at your life, feel with regret because you always made the easy choice. Think it right. Right. Now! Whatever the fuck you have.

Detch, go all in, embrace it. Let it mold you, shape you. what you've always wanted to become. You have to put the hours in. You may have to raise children, cultivate your marriage, and work your side hustle

all at the same time. Everybody knows, if you don't go to the gym, if you don't get on the treadmill, put the cardio in, if you don't hit the weights and lift, you're not going to walk around with the physique that you see in your head. It's going to remain a conversation, a vision, a dream.

Lazy people don't know how to start. Weak people don't know how to finish. Successful people don't know how to stop. People demand success, but refuse to work weekends. People want opportunity but won't talk to strangers. People claim ambition but sleep in every day. We are the result of our actions, not our aspirations. Let's say we have a circuit breaker.

Okay? And I'm loading everything up to one circuit. Just load it up. It's going to fucking blow. And once that thing blows, man, the circus's off f***ed up. You got to have each. thing plugged into the right spot like a crowded garage you can't put anything in it once your brain is crowded discipline is great motivation is great but if you can't fit it in your brain because it's all

fucking cluttered with you there's no discipline you may have it sometimes when it fits in that crowded garage of your mind but you don't have the consistency that you need to have with that discipline there's actually two human beings in the bathroom every morning. There's you, and there's a human being in the mirror. And that human being is trying, and they've been there a long time, and they've been waiting for you to wake up and to see them. They're tired of your constant negativity. They're tired of you beating them down.

They need you to be more encouraging. They need you to be more celebratory. They need your support. And when you finally wake up and create a moment with yourself every single morning where you look yourself in the eye, and you see yourself, and you forgive yourself, and you honor yourself, and you say, I believe, with this gesture in you. It is this remarkably deep and spiritual feeling of connection that you've been longing for for a very long time. Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted from you if you let them. It can seem like a friend, just like your friend that keeps feeding you drinks at the bar can seem like a friend.

But are they really helping you in any way, shape, or form? No, they're not. They're not. So when your excuses make you feel a little. bit better about the fact that you didn't execute on what you needed to execute on, then they can make you feel better. But they're not helping you. They're not helping you at all. 400 trillion to one. The odds of becoming a human being. You know, being successful takes several different variables. I think self-awareness is number one. If you don't know yourself and you

don't know what you're good at, you've got no shot because you're going to be spinning your wheels. I think work ethic is at the top. Nobody, nobody watching this right now knows anybody that's successful at all that hasn't put in serious amounts of work. You cannot grow mentally, physically, emotionally, or financially in your comfort zone and when avoiding pain.

It doesn't work like that. If you want to build an ultra-successful business, you're going to take two-by-four after two-by-four after two-by-four to the face before anything becomes reality. If you want to build an amazing body, you have to break down the muscle fibers in order to rebuild them back up. How are you going to choose to show up? Like I was talking about before, there are things out of your control.

What's in your control? How can you take that power back into your own hands? And what are you going to take from it? What kind of meaning can you find from taking power out of what you feel powerless in? Feeling stuck is a signal that you stop growing. That's it. And when most people feel stuck since, They don't understand that it's tied to a fundamental need for growth.

We believe it's an existential crisis and we blow up our lives. Learning anything gets you back in touch with a fundamental need. It makes you start to feel like things are moving. And from that place of feeling a little bit more empowered, you'll be able to make better decisions about what big things need to change in your life. You get to live life one time. And this is the time right now to understand what's actually happening and actually map your behavior to something that will impact you for the

next 80 years pay the attention to who's giving you the advice who's giving the advice you only take advice from people whose dreams for your life are bigger than yours are yeah learn to pick yourself up on your own a lot of times these fights and these battles you got to be your own coach you got be your own motivator i could have saved myself tons of mental agony because i could have reassured that, hey, look, this is just the way it goes. And this is just part of the deal. And you signed up for this. And nobody ever tells you this.

You know what I'm saying? Like, when you're getting your face beat in in business, right? Like, nobody comes along and says, hey, it's going to be okay. Yeah, yeah. You don't feel like it's going to be okay. You feel like the world's ending. It could be a painful day emotionally. It could be a painful day relationally.

It could be a painful day financially. Are you going to complain? Or are you going to use it to your advantage? It doesn't matter if you go the hard path or the easy path. Both paths will make you suffer. But at least the hard path leads to your ultimate goal. The easy path leads to you suffering in silence and then dying with regret. Imagine if you can use pain as a fuel.

Imagine if you could use the pain as a passport. Imagine if you can use the pain to push you, to condition you, to prepare you for the stages of the rules. you've got to walk into and the tables you've got to sit at and the stages you have to stand on what if the pain can make you better what if the pain could build muscle what if the pain could cause you to reach higher to leap farther to run faster what if the pain could help you you got to lock in want to this very simple concept that if you want it you got to go get it some of y'all got this concept of what you want to accomplish You know, some of y'all are motivated by broke. I'm stuck. I'm fucked up. I can't do nothing.

Other folks are motivated by materialistic things. It's a very simple concept. If you want it, you got to go get it. How bad do you want this? If it's as bad as you want to live or breathe or sleep, whatever hell it may be, I can work with you. But a lot of people, most people, don't. wanted that badly, which was why they always asked the question, man, how did you get to where you are? You know how to do it. You know exactly how to be you or how to be me. You don't want to do it.

You know, there comes a day, man. Everyone's going to have this day. There comes a day where being average, being mediocre, it's just sickening to you. It's just sickening. It makes you want to throw up because you've seen people with far less talent than you. As you're growing up with them, their childhood buddies, wherever else. They didn't have what you had. Yet now they're gonna become something that you haven't. There comes that day. It's either when you're young, you know,

and it strikes you on the baseball field because you're sick of striking out. Or it's when you get fired from your fifth job, you know, when your wife and kids are on your ass because you don't have support them anymore. There comes a fucking day. Where push comes a shove. Where being mediocre, being like average and shit

just burns, it sucks so much. You can't deal with it. one more day and you get off your fucking ass and you create something it's always been there. It's always been inside of you trying to come out. But you've never wanted to unwrap it because there's too much pain and commitment. It's time to unwrap the potential you can be. Superior, man. It's within you.

I'm not talented. It was life and death. Either you live or you die. Which one do you want, Tom? That was the decision. In the corporate life and in the gym. But if you want something bad enough, if you want something bad enough, you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something. I'll repeat that.

If you want something bad enough, you can't let anybody tell you you can't do something, not even yourself. A lot of days, I'm like, oh, you can't do this, Tom. You can't be as quick as a 30-year-old on the computer. Oh shit, let me show you. I mean, I would have arguments with myself. I could do it. People doubt it me. I doubt it myself sometimes, too.

sometimes too. You know what? I watched Arnold fall down. Nobody remembers when he fell down. Arnold wasn't the glorified winner as he was in the first 70 to 75. He got up. I'm become a famous film stuff. He became governor. He kept getting up and getting up. That's what it takes. To do anything successfully in life, you've got to want it as bad as you want to breathe. And if you want it that bad, if you're willing to give it that much, you'll get a big piece of what you want. And dreams do come true. Anything you want can happen and become a reality. I believe that sincerely, and I'll die on that thought.

I say I made a full commitment that I'm going to go and be a bodybuilding champion. I made a full commitment that I'm going to be in America. 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 will do the work. I would do the work over and over and over until I get it. And the same was in politics and everything like that. So to me, it is very dangerous to have a plan B because you're cutting yourself off from the chance of really succeeding.

One day I made a decision that enough is enough. I'm tired of being average. I'm tired. I'm tired of being good. I'm tired. I want to go to the dealers shipping by the best car. I want to move to the nice. neighborhood. I want to fly first class. I want to go to Hawaii. I want to go to Australia. I made a decision. Enough is enough. It's showtime. The hour is now for game changes to emerge

road of obscurity and into victory. Take the throw with everything that you have in you. Nobody cares where you started. Nobody's stopping you. There's nobody that's got to take your resume. There's no grades that matter. None of it. What matters is are you willing to hustle and how bad do you want it? Master the three Ws, you got to want it, you got to work it, then you got to win it. I know that's right. Now, how bad do you want it? A lot of times people tend to get very comfortable with themselves,

and they are always celebrating the same victories over and over and over again. But the moment they get uncomfortable or they find themselves in a new environment, they either freeze up or they go back. You got to be the person that wants to go a little bit further in whatever it is that you're doing in your life. Remember, as you live, there is opportunity to be greater. Dreams are that moment where you pick your head up and you get really quiet and you tune in to what your mind, body, and spirit is telling you.

Kind of aim that inner compass out into the distance. And you ask yourself, where do I want to go? like if you think about five or ten years from now and and the easiest way for me to figure out that is who am I jealous of that usually shows up a lot faster than who am I inspired by because jealousy is just blocked desire you can't feel jealous of somebody unless you authentically want something for real that you think that they have and The jealousy happens because you have somewhere in your psyche told yourself you can't have it. That if you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,

to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it, if all that your dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it, and if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your terror of the opposition for it. And if you simply go after that thing that you want, with all of your capacity, strengthen sagacity, faith, hope, and confidence, and stern pertinacity,

if neither cold poverty, famished or gall, sickness, or pain, a body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want. If dark it and grim, you besiege and beset it with the help of God you'll get it. The only thing you care about when you're trying to breathe is to get some fresh air. That's it. And when you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful, as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful.

And I'm here to tell you, number one, that most of you say you want to be successful, but you don't want it bad. You just kind of want it. You don't want it bad than you want to party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success. And I'm here to tell you today, if you're going to be successful, you've got to be willing to give up sleep. The hour is now. I am your replacement. I am coming for the throne. I'm coming for every room that you locked me out of.

Every realm that I step into, I will dominate. You cannot listen to the naysayers. Imagine, you go from studio executive to studio executive from agent to agent. agent from manager to manager and they all said exactly the same thing. Now that's very encouraging isn't it? But you know something? I didn't give a shit. I didn't.

Because I believed that I can be a leading man.
