The link is in the description. Your mama might be a millionaire. You might come from privilege. Your daddy might hook you up with a car. He might know people. He might be able to get you a job. But you will not outwork me. I'm a champion.

We as a champion, we ain't trying to cut corners. We ain't trying to see how much we can do and still be successful. I got a standard. I want to be the best. And I love Steph Curry. Steff said, making shots and workouts is no longer good enough. Put this down. Finish. Write that down. Type that to yourself. Execute. Put that down. Finish. Let me tell you something. They treat people differently who execute. Nobody care what you're doing in practice. They don't got to do with nothing. I don't count. It don't count what you're doing in practice. It don't count.

It don't count what you do first quarter, second quarter, third quarter. The most important quarter is the one you like when you won. Write that down. Finish. Effort is not good enough. Ain't nobody paying you for efforts. You don't get paid for effort. You don't get paid for trying. Some of you like that's too much. Ah, well, you're not going to be a champion. Going up against other champions, you think you're going to get 50%? You think you're going to get 70%? You think you're going to get 80. I watch y'all. I watch y'all. You're good. But you need to be great in this league. You're real good at what you do, but some of you don't finish. You look good in the first. You look good in the second. You look good in the second.

But the fourth with the last three minutes, I can tell. I can tell with the last three, listen to me, the real beast, the real beast is the last four minutes. The real beast is when they legs get out. The real beast, when they're tired. The real beast, by the way to pull something out when nobody don't say, got nothing. You have to make a decision that nobody will outwork you. What you got to do in practice is, one, two, three. In practice.

Not in the field. Some of y'all, that's your problem. You think that you can dominate when the lights come on. If you can't dominate in practice, you can't dominate when the lights come on. I get up every morning at 3 o'clock. I dominate it 3 o'clock in the morning. I dominate when everybody's sleep. I dominated 4 in the morning, 6 in the morning.

At 8, I go back to bed. Why? Because y'all are just getting up. I dominate in the dark. I dominate when nobody sees me. So I dominate in the light because I dominate the dark. I'm just being real. MJ didn't have a game seven.

It didn't matter if he was in Utah. He was in Chicago. If he was in Wisconsin, like the box, it didn't matter. What Mike's mentality was, whoever we play, I'm going to dominate these individuals. That's what I'm going to do. Now, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, so I'm not going to say no other name because I don't want to try to be like, I don't want to hear what my man got to say. But there are other guys who are good, who consider great, They go to game seven and it takes the last second for them with the game.

Mike was like, mm-mm, three feet, no comeback. Another three-peak dominated. So I need y'all do me a huge favor. Like, I need you to eat, sleep, breathe, dominate. You can't win it if you can't see it. You got to see each one. The vision, you got to see yourself winning in practice. You got to see yourself.

They have to see each, you got to see yourself. Then the championship, you've got to see yourself. Then the playoffs, you got to see yourself. Wake up every single day. I was here before. before I was here. I was up this morning here. I've been here before.

I was in this spot right here. I was talking up right here. I had visited. I saw it already. I don't even got to hit an alarm clock. My body like yo, E2.30, get up. E 245. 1, 2, 3.

Discipline is, discipline. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. Discipline is you do it so long, so hard, and you're so passionate about it that even when you don't feel like it, you still operate at the higher level. I dominate.

I dominate. Where I go, stuff happens. I dominate. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Man in the dark, when nobody's watching, he's putting in work. Just because you got here don't mean your 30's gonna look like this. And your 40's gonna look like this. And you're 50. I mean, I wish if you played in the NFL, I wish that whatever your best day was, your best year was, you could just like capture that and that'd be the rest of your life. But unfortunately, a lot of dudes made a lot of money broke.

Most of the people who lost 30 million in one year, you don't get another year to make another 30 mil. If you know you're not going to be here forever, then you're going to treat how long you're going to be here differently. What's your standard? I don't care what it is. But what is your standard? I've got some standard. I've been waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning and praying to God since I was 19 years old. That's a non-negotiable.

Every morning at 3 I'm up. I'm the best in the world as a speaker, not because I'm the best, but I'm the best. But I'm the best because every day I put God first. That's my standard. I don't care if I'm in Dubai, 3 o'clock. I don't care if I'm in Cali, 3 o'clock. I don't care if I'm down south, 3 o'clock. That's my standard.

I've been married 31 years. I've only had sex with one woman in my entire life. That's my standard. I'm not telling nobody else to do that. But my old dude wasn't in my life because he was running around having sex with everybody. I got siblings I don't even know. I just met my niece for the first time.

She's 24 years old. So I'm like, I'm not doing it. doing what my dad did. My dad at high school drop out. I went got my GD, then I got my four-year degree, then I got my master's degree, then I got my PhD. And I ain't smart, but I set a standard. So when my kids came in this world, their mama got a master's, their daddy got a PhD, they at least got to finish high school. I set a standard. Multi-millionaire as a speaker from the bottom up, I set a standard. It's going to be a fight. You can't keep doing this Maybe your freshman year, maybe your sophomore year, but at some point, you gotta go take your life out of it.

At some point, you just got to, I was on the, it took me 12 years to get the four year degree. And in the math, I was like, and somebody said, get the PhD, and I was like, come on, he gets PhD. And when I just started going after life and taking it by his throat, not getting to the, some of y'all get to the line. You got to take that thing out, like, you got to take the breath out. So some of you are afraid of math, go after it. Go get it. Don't run from it no more. Don't get it.

You go in there and go get that grade. You go in there and get that information so you can pass that class. You ain't got some money to go to school. You go write those letters and you go knock on those doors. Don't be scared. You need this to please. Don't knock on those doors. Don't get that scholarship.

Don't be scared to ask. Not going to go, not. Steve. Come on. Ask. And it's going to be given to you. You got to go get it. What do I want to be doing in my 30s, my 40s, my 50s, my 60s?

And what you do today, every day, day when you walk in this joint, what you do today is going to determine how you live at 30, at 40, at 50, at 60, and y'all got a head start, man.
