I wrote myself a check for $10 million for acting services rendered, and I gave myself five years, or three years maybe, and I dated at Thanksgiving 1995. And I put it in my wallet, and I kept it down. and it deteriorated and deteriorated and stuff.

And, and, but then just before Thanksgiving, 1995, I found out that I was going to make $10 million on, I think it was dumb and dumber made. In my mind, I see that if you start, if you know where you're going, your car self-drives. You almost are always walking in the direction because you can see it.

I know that at some point I will do this. Only discipline wouldn't be helpful if in the first place you do not possess the ability to see it, to realize it, to be aware of it. Meaning you have discipline, but you are never aware actually when is the moment actually appearing right now. that this sensory desire is hitting in. You're not aware of it. So the discipline wouldn't help you if you don't have this awareness

to live in the here and now. Stop jumping into the past and stop jumping into the future. Then you live in the here and now. But you must practice it. And literally meaning how you do it, make yourself empty. Because the only thing

that fills your mind with past and future is your thoughts. The mind. Where you are now, it's just a reflection of your past thoughts, your past thinking. So if you want to change your future, you've got to change your thoughts now

and then put them into action ultimately. But don't forget the law of detachment. I had to make a lot of decisions that weren't favorable, there wasn't cruel, there wasn't like what you're supposed to do you know, my position. I had to go against the grain.

And that's when I realized that I'm a disruptor and I'm a visionary because I see, I can tell you in 10 years when I want to be like, I can tell you in 20 years where I want to live at, you know what I can see it, right? And then I can tell you what I'm not scared to go up and get to get there. Yeah, I just think visualizing something

I'm believing in it. It's just very important to the process of success. Everything comes from the imagination. So the power of the mind, people don't understand. We still don't understand. to understand how powerful it is. I'm still learning, but I know one thing is I can make things happen. It's not something I tell myself that it's something I picture. Goals are intangible. They always

start as intangible. You first have to see it in your mind first in order for it to become true. And it's interesting because when I'm traveling a lot, people always ask me the same question is how does it feel to play in the NFL, right? And I always respond and say, it feels exactly how you think it would feel if you reached your goals. And I would see the person's face just light up because they were able in that moment the picture would it would feel like if they accomplished their goals. So that's what I always would tell myself, what would it feel like if Leah beat cancer?

What would it feel like if you made it to the NFL? Because what I did was take that feelings and compare it to the pain I was facing at the time. And if that feeling of overcoming the obstacles I was facing was greater than the pain than I kept pushing, you know, I wanted. wanted to use my pain in order to get me the greatness, but I first had to feel and see what it would be like if I overcame these obstacles and achieved my goals. You say it and you just have to do it.

It's not, it's not going to come to you. If you're going to say it, you have to follow it with your actions and you have to manifest it with how much do you want it. And it is it within your spirit that once you have it, can you hold it, can you keep it? And I'm a firm believer of speaking things into existence. Same here, brother. Firm believer of, you know, you work and the universe gives back to you. I'm a firm believer in that stuff.

You feel in the law of attraction, of course. And I also feel often that things that I repetitively think about or say, I'm able to manifest. Like, you know, this house, for example, I manifested this. As a competitor, if you're trying to be, you're trying to manifest. trying to do something meaningful. If you don't have the mindset that you're the best ever, you failed already. So if you don't have the mindset that you are the best reporter ever,

then you already failed. And that's been my mindset since I can remember. That will be my mindset as long as I can remember anything, that I am the best ever at what I do. And every day that I'm the best ever at what I do. that I step on the basketball floor, I will strive to be that. But my mindset will always be as such as I am the best to do what I do. And that'll give me a shot at being the best.

No matter what your stance is on the law of attraction, it works. The only problem is that most people are unconsciously attracting what they don't want into their lives. You have to basically brainwash all 40 trillion of your cells to, believe that what you want you will get and there is no other option. No other option can exist. If there is a tinge of doubt, it is less likely to happen. Fourth grade, I went in my closet. I am going to the NBA. Anything you invoke with I am after it, the power of manifestation and what can happen in the universe comes true. Because I always remember my mother always said to me, if you can see it, you can be it.

The first step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it. Wake up every day. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want in your dream? It's so much easier to forget that vision than to remember it. Make this note. Don't become a victim of yourself. Forget the thief in the alley that's after your purse.

What about the thief in your mind that's after your promise? Don't doubt your own. There's this thing about people and they talk about manifesting. It's real, man. Manifesting is real. When you figure out who you are and what you want to do and you devote your life to it like a maniac, like you're all in on this thing and you manifest, most of these people end up doing what they say they're going to do and being who they say they're going to become, it's real.

and there's no excuses, there's no fucking days off, there's no not willing to grind and they lay out these short-term goals and this roadmap on how to get there. Most of those people make it. Anytime you want to, you can say, I'm going to change my attitude. I'm going to change my abilities. Take on that as your God-given right to change your life to whatever degree you want it to change. Everything comes from the imagination. So the power of the mind, people don't understand. We still don't understand. I still don't understand how powerful it is. I'm still learning. But I know one thing is I can make things happen. In the core of your being, do you realize that you're a star? Yeah, I always knew so. I knew I knew I wasn't going to be regular. I just knew like I was going to be great at something.

I didn't know what it was, but I knew I was going to be great at something. I just knew. Bro, I can manifest like a motherfucker. Thinking bro rich by Napoleon Hill. There was a book and it said think and think and grow rich. And I remember going through the pages and reading the principles. The foundation of this is anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve, regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty your aims and hopes may be. Manifesting is real. Now, whatever you send into the universe, the universe sends right back at you. And when it's coming back, that's your law of attraction.

It's a choice. It's a matter of the heart. That your mindset could change your whole atmosphere, that you can turn your mess into a message and your test into a testimony. Everything comes from the imagination. What people were surprised when they found out that you've been signing your name as champ 2011? How did that come about? You know, I believe in the law of attraction.

And I believe that you can speak things into existence. and I believe that when you know where you're going and you know what you want, the universe has a way of stepping aside for you. And me signing my signature with Champion 2011 on it, it can't hurt me. It can't hurt me. It could only help me to believe it even more.

I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's simple. You attract. Not just what you fear. You attract what you feel, what you are, what you attract. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for it.

I'm saying, I'm the proof that you can ask the universe for it. Unpack the gift of the present and let the future be your motivation. Everybody is looking to manifest. We're all looking to manifest something. We'll lose sleep to manifest and we'll work two or three jobs to manifest and we'll study for hours in a day to manifest. We are all looking to manifest something. Let me call your attention to a great power which is under your controls. A power which is greater than poverty, greater than the lack of education, greater than all of

your fears and superstitions combined. It is the power to take possession of your own mind and direct it to whatever ends you may desire. I went home and I prayed for a bicycle and I got a bicycle showed up in my living room. Brand new Mustang bike. I put it in one of the scenes in Eternal Sunshine, a Mustang bike with a banana seat. I manifested it. I stood there in an open feel like this, my arms out. Once I started to transition from, I don't know what I'm going to do, how am I going to ever get off my sister's couch?

Who will ever pay me? how am I ever to graduate, how am I ever to gain me experience? I'm too young. Once I started shifting all those thoughts to, it is possible, I do believe in myself, I am great, I'm going to work really hard to develop skills that are going to help me move me forward. That's when everything started to shift. When I shifted, my inner world, my outer world opened up to me for incredible possibilities. What you're trained to think about, when you think about manifesting, is vision board. And when you hear the word vision boards, you think about the big stuff. Should you have big dreams?

Of course you should. Here's where everybody goes wrong. You dream about the end. You make this gorgeous collage of all this stuff that has nothing to do with your current life. That literally, as you're sitting in your studio apartment with the cat box that hasn't been changed in two weeks. No food in the fridge. You're looking for a job. staring at a mansion going someday, it's going to make you feel like a loser because the gap

between where you are and where you want to go seems insurmountable. And so what happens, based on the research, is when you only visualize the endgame Lewis, it's demotivating. At first, it's really fun to, like, have a bottle of wine and make your like collage. I'm going to slap this up. There's my vision board. It's fabulous. Law of attraction, baby. Come up. I'm not think about it. It's going to come to me. Okay. I've been. doing this for two days. I'm not, I'm still in this apartment with the cap box. It needs to be changed. The way to visualize properly is to visualize the bridge between where you are and where you need to go. The bridge. Yes, and particularly the horrible stuff. What you do by visualizing

the bridge is you train your nervous system and your mind to do the hard work. So you should visualize not crossing the finish line, but what is it like to be at mile 12 when your batteries run out on your earbuds? Yeah. No, I'm serious. And you keep going. What's it like when your shoelace breaks

and now your heel is lifting and you're starting to get a blood blister at mile 17? What's it feel like when you wake up and it is pouring rain? And you visualize yourself running anyway. That way, when you visualize the work, you are preparing your body for it, so you're not resistant to it when it comes.

I think anything in mind can conceive, if you think about it often enough, you will come to believe it. So you don't have to believe it to start off with because I didn't believe it. And I'm speaking from experience here. I didn't believe I'd ever get the $25,000. I didn't even know anyone with $25,000. But I kept reading the book. Now, you know, a strange thing happened. See, when you write something, writing causes thinking. Thinking creates an image. The image then is impregnated into cells in your brain. All I was thinking about prior to that was debt. If a person has a goal of getting out of debt, they will probably stay in debt forever because that's what you think about. And whenever you

think about and get emotionally involved with, you're going to attract. You get on a frequency that it's on and you attract it. I kept reading the card and I started to think of earning money. Now, many people would say, well, weren't you thinking of that before? No, I was thinking of debt. And because I was thinking about it, I started to hear people talking about it. And because I heard people talking about it, I would start thinking about it more. And I thought the answer was work harder. Napoleon Hill said, if you are one of those people who believe that hard work and honesty alone will bring righteous,

Perry so thought because it's not true. Within a year of picking up this book, with no formal education, I had two months high school. I had no business experience. So you see, they were good reasons for not winning, and I bought into it. But Ray told me, he said, Bob, that's why you can't win. How about all the reasons why you can? That I'm not powerless, not unmanageable. I can control my life.

I'm going to get rich. And so if I could just stay busy, okay? If I could just have a place to work every day and something to do and somebody to call and somebody to be in front of, that that was my big fear. My big fear was that little white pill. I threw those in the trash that night. Never would use another one again. And I just made a decision that day not to quit, not to be powerless, not to be unmanageable,

but to be somebody. And I've been doing that since I was 25, every day waking up. Today I'm going to be somebody. I'm not just going to think about it. I'm going to be somebody today. I'm going to grow into who I should be. And I started to question a lot of ideas. Like the idea that you have to be really smart if you're going to earn a lot of money.

I was earning a lot of money and I knew I wasn't that smart. So I started to question all my beliefs. And that's when I made up my mind, I was going to figure out why I was winning. I did not believe that there was an emotional or capricious God that reached out and said, let's let Bob have a turn. I didn't think I was lucky. But I thought somebody has to know why I win, and I'm going to figure it out. And I start a study. He said, there's a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one's ready for a thing until they believe, that they can acquire it. He said, the state of mind must be belief and not mere hope or wish. So then I think, well, how do you believe? Where do your beliefs come from? You just say, I believe?

There's more to it than that. Our belief system is based upon our evaluation of something. And frequently, if you reevaluate a situation, your belief about that situation will change. And suddenly, I realized I'd figured it out. It had taken me nine and a half years from that day in London, trying to figure out why did I change, nine and a half years later in the restaurant, it dawned on me. My belief system had changed because I was reevaluating who I was. No amount of reading or memorize and makes this successful. It's the understanding and application of wise thoughts that count. So I started to study this from a totally different perspective. And when I did figure it out, I started to understand Napoleon Hill better because all he wanted to do was teach it.

And when I got it figured out, that's all I wanted to do was teach it. I hated my current existence. And so I think some people don't hate their current existence enough. And so like, I don't think, you know, like, you either have to really believe that this thing's going to happen or you have to know that your life sucks. And I knew that my life sucked. And so I knew that if I did something else, it would have a higher likelihood of changing my life than not doing something. And at least that's how I would say that I probably saw it in the beginning. It's like I didn't know if it was going to work, but I knew that I wasn't going to stop.

That's the thing I wake up every single day and I think to myself, I am the most unqualified, like, non-development tech founder in the face of this internet. And yet I'm still going to do it because I don't want to lie at the end of my life and think I wish I would have tried something. ask the questions of what you want to do next, the world is going to put you in the box on what you have to do next because they're determining who you need to be. And you are rising up to their expectations because you're not asking the questions yourself. So clarity to me is stemmed from you being able to sit down and ask those tough questions that piss you off, that irritate you, that make you emotional, that you cry over, that you reflect, that makes you want to do research, that makes you follow up, that makes you sit down and say, I don't really know. The crazy part about business, this is kind of the craziest part, at the same time, you only need one hit. Just one.

So as long, you know, with a million dollar weekend in the book, one of the biggest breakthroughs for people is just getting started because Zuckerberg really has done one thing. He started Facebook. Either you have to have a reward that is that incentivizes you. It's the away towards or away. It's either we're going away from pain or going towards pleasure. I think a lot of people are really looking for that passion that's going to be towards. But I think early days, and I talk a lot about this. But like, I think negative motivation is poo-poohed too much.

Like, if you are angry, use it. If you are sad, use it. Because like, what else are you going to do with it? Like, you might as well let it help you. Like, or it uses you. You know what I mean? And so I always like to see when I was in my earlier days, I felt like I was wielding my anger at least in a direction.

And I think also a lot of people think that they have to get like it right on the first shot, but one of the beliefs that I had was that I just want to be directionally correct. Like if I move, I know that I don't like this. And so this way is not where I am. And so I will start taking steps this way. And from the story that you at least heard, it's like, I'll ping pong a a little bit to try and directionally move that way. And it's funny because Caleb's seen plenty of things from what we do at Acquisition.com where we're like, we'll try it out. And if it doesn't work, they're like, oops. All good. to give the advice that I heard my third year of business. I was sitting with a group of other

photographers who were farther in their career. And I had always found a way, even though I couldn't afford to get educated specifically in the photography room because there was a very high ticket experiences, I would find a way to leverage what I thought I was good at in exchange. I'm a firm believer in bartering. Bartering is my favorite thing. And so I realized that while I'm not necessarily a copywriter, I wouldn't classify myself as like a writer, I had a blog, I had a blog at the time. I saw the blog. But at the time, I was blogging every single day.

And other photographers started noticing the quality of work that I was doing. And so I found a photographer in my area. I was living in Los Angeles at the time. And I said, hey, would I be able to go to your event and write a few blog posts about your event? And in addition to, if you let me come, could I also write your bio, like, for your website? Because I gave a little preview. I was like, his bio was just like, great photographer. Love my camera.

And I kind of wrote just like the first paragraph of what could be his bio based on things that I had read about him on the internet, and he was just like, yes. So I got into this room and what he said, I felt like it just pierced my heart. And this is the thing that I will tell everybody again and again. He said, jump and the net will appear. And it was the first time in my entire life that I had ever heard somebody speak so brazenly about taking a risk. Again, who I am now as a risk taker is so different than who I was when I began. And the way that you strengthen that risk muscle is by taking risks.

And when he said that three years into it, I realized, okay, now is the time for me to start taking those risks. I wish somebody would have told me that sooner. And this is always the advice I always go back to, jump and the net will appear. A lot of people are chasing content creation or they were chasing crypto last week, or they were chasing blogging years ago. And now AI, everyone's chasing. And so what I'd recommend for other people out there, and I've been able to do this literally,

I've chosen so many trillion dollar markets. to be around. And a lot of my success is just because I'm in the market and in the market as well. But I'm curious about these things, number one. So I was curious about social networking and I was like, oh shit, that's big. Because I got onto it and I finally, I was able to see like, wow, you can connect with the entire world, even though there wasn't really the entire world at that point. So curious, same with mint.com.

I was like, man, money? I think worldwide, it's pretty important. I think there's going to be something. If you have a free money tool, that's going to be big. Same thing. Then with Facebook games. That was going to be big. Then I did payments for games.

That was big. I did kind of a group on business, which became App Sumo, that was big. Then we built SumoMe.com. That was big, which is software tool. So ideally, number one, you're curious. So I can even talk about my crypto thing, because I think that's kind of an interesting example of it. Number two, how do you get a part of it today right now, not how?

Don't worry that you don't have a website. Don't worry, you don't have a big social media presence. But what can you take action on to put yourself in that space? So can you be in a community online? Can you geographically move? Can you start creating in that space? So I think people are curious. maybe and they couldn't find it, but they don't necessarily try it and understand it,

and they don't do anything about it. So even with crypto, got involved. I heard about it in 2012, didn't do anything. I thought it was stupid. And then in 2016, I had to buy an illegal NFL stream. That's how I got into crypto. And so I bought this illegal NFL stream on a website, Seasonsfor You.com, and I saw the power of what this could be.

And then I started buying at that point. And that's where it's now become a multimillion dollar portfolio. And I think the biggest thing for everyone out there is, what are you doing on your phone all day. There's probably something within there that's a billion dollar opportunity. Same thing on what you're doing outside. Same thing, what you're watching on content and just being a little bit more curious than taking action around that. My executive team, they decided to skip their salary for a month so that everybody else could get paid. We had maybe 60, 70 employees at that time. And fortunately, January came in and January is always a great month for personal growth.

And we had a campaign that worked and we were able to get back on our feet. But these type of moments, they, they, they are soul crushing. They, they, they keep you up at night. But you got to, you got to be prepared to go through them on your journey. But again, if you adopt the attitude that the number one thing is your growth is how much you're learning, you're better able to go through these ups and these downs. Like the ups don't go to your head. And the downs don't destroy you. Get to the deeper part of who do you want to be? What life do you want to live? And why do you want to live this life?

Why is it important? Why is it what you're putting through all these hours? Why would you want to do that? That transition when you go through it and then the pressure part when you said, here's what I'm going to be where you declare your intentions to the world. This is what I'm going to be doing. A lot of times we keep things to secret.

And so there's a debate. Some say you should never declare your intentions to the world because that pressure could create anxiety. You should never do it. You know, like Babe Ruth pointed a finger and I'm going to hit a home run. What if you don't hit it? What if you fail? You know, what if you say, Michael Jordan says,

The Bulls never winning, losing game seven. You should never say that because there's too much pressure on the players. Or then the other side said, well, you should put the pressure on yourself because your teammates play better because it's not on them. It's on you. And the leader does that. To me, I think declaring intention serves a purpose. I think when you go out there and you say, this is what I'm going to be doing, this is where I'm going to be at. You officially have the world holding you accountable.

That pressure could be good pressure to put into your life. We hear the phrase pure pressure. and we always get the negative connotation with peer pressure. It's like, hey, don't do drugs because of peer pressure. You know, say no to drugs, peer pressure. Go to school, peer pressure. I think about death all the time. It's like, I'm going to die.

And I think you have to agitate the pain for yourself. Like you have to stoke the pain. Like if you can't get through through it. Because like it would be odd that you would be motivated by some weird passion. Like not everyone's Mozart and just like, I'd love it. music and I've been, I see in, you know, see numbers and colors, you know, whatever. Like, some people are like that, but most people aren't. And so if you're not that, then you only start really liking stuff when you get good at it, in my opinion. And you only get good at it

by doing it a lot of times before you're good at it. And so if you, this is why I'm a big, big believer in this is that when you are starting out, I think you got to find the thing that's the pain. And like pain motivates significantly faster and stronger than pleasure does. Like, people were like, no, passion is the right way. It's like, point a gun at a family member. All of a sudden, 10 out of 10 motivation. Pain. And so, like, I think people should use their pain more.

And if they don't have enough pain, then one, maybe that's fine. And you're a dreamer. And that's okay. But I will tell you that a word that I can, I read in my like six month journey between when I wanted to quit and when I actually quit, there was this word that just like pissed me off. And it was in this self-help or entrepreneur book. And it said, there are entrepreneurs.

and there are want entrepreneurs. And it was like, entrepreneurs are people who read these books and don't do anything. And I was just like, I don't want to be. I was like, I am one of these right now. And I just, it just like felt so powerless. And I think that my entire life has been a lot

of trying to have power. And I mean that in the true sense of just being able to direct influence in events. I've wanted to have more power to protect myself, protect the people I care about, et cetera. And I felt very powerful. And I think that I was in that comfortable, like my dad approved of my current situation.

I had a job that when I told people, they're like, oh, that's fancy. But I felt powerless. And I hated that more than anything. And so I think if I want to say this to anyone who's listening, if there's anything you listen to, all the stuff that I described that was really tough that I went through was not as hard as me quitting my job. by far the hardest decision of my entire life, far or none. Because the things that I was actually caught up with were the opinions of other people,

opinions of my father and the opinions of the people that I went to school with who I thought would judge me for leaving this good job to probably become a failed gym owner and how lame that would sound compared to consultant going to Harvard and blah. Like, I was going to go from peak white collar to a very blue collar, you know, profession making significantly less because I quote loved it. And like, I'll say this again, but like sometimes you have to let other people's dreams for your life die for yours to live. I'm just stubborn, man. I just never give up. You're crazy until you're successful.

Then you're a genius. Get alive. Be realistic. People will convince you you're out of your mind for wanting to do this. Then once you're successful, they're like, yo. Your drive, your tenacity was great. But it's like, yeah, well, where was that back then? I knew deep down that I could do something.

I was different from other people. I had different experiences. There was something I needed to express. There was a purpose to how my life had unfolded. But I couldn't find it. If you look at the great ones, they have one thing in common. They suffered more than most people. Greatness really flows from our disconnection to who we are.

Intake, the outtake of what you call life is nothing more than time. And unless done something with is forgotten about. It's funny. When you're making lots of money, it's like admirable. It's respectable. It's like, look, those are traits we want. But when you're not successful, you know, you're a lunatic. I have extreme obsession to the point where, like, for me, it's much easier to think about something 16 hours a day for seven days straight than it's like to like gearship constantly.

I'm like really good at just obsessing over one thing more than anyone else on the planet. If I were to say, what's my superpower or it's that? I can just obsess endlessly about. about something and I can just have the same thoughts over and over and over and over again. It's very weird. Like, it wasn't like it was work for me grinding YouTube for those 10 years or whatever where no one was really watching it. It's just like kind of who I am.

There's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have. You have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 50 million years. of history, you have to believe that something different can happen. It don't matter how f*** up that shit might look. It don't matter how much it feel like it ain't going to work. Delisional.

Complete delusion. You got to believe the delusion. Because it's only delusional until it works. So is it really delusional? Once the world see it, there's nothing delusional about it. Now, your delusional.

becomes, oh, he was a genius. We didn't see it when he saw it. We didn't understand it when he did. We thought this one was crazy. Everybody's a fighter in their own right. You're a fighter. I'm a fighter. Everyone that's in this room, even the newspaper,

and they're fighters. But everybody don't get up every morning and run. Everybody don't go to the gym every morning. And everybody don't have enough discipline to wait in the locker room for two hours or three hours, then go in the ring and do it. They've been taught all those years in the gym. And so that's what separates the champion. I'm a mediocre fighter. I got to the Patriots

and you talked about that one moment where I said, wow, I can really do this. So think about it. I had been in all this competition at Michigan. I had Brian Greasy ahead of me lead us to the national championship. I had one of the top recruits in the country, Drew Henson. And I was staring those guys down every day. Here I come to the Patriots and I get drafted and I'm fourth on the depth chart. And I finally see Drew Bledso throw the ball for the first time. And in my very naive, competitive way because he signed a 10-year $100 million contract with the New England Patriots when I was making $185,000. I looked at him and I go, I could throw the ball better than that, which I was the only one on

the field who saw that. And I wasn't, but I had a belief that I could if I worked the same way and if I gained the trust and respect to my teammates in the same way, that if I ever did get that position And I told this to my best friend, who was one of my roommates in college, I said, if they ever put me on the field, they're never going to take me off the field. And they never did. In the race of life, life's not going to give you a glass of water when you're thirsty. And I realize that. And once again, people at Mount God, your life is horrible.

It's not. Yeah. This is how I live. And there's not people like me in this world. with this kind of mentality. It's not be like David Goggins. Go run 200 miles. Take something from this.

Remember where I started from. You don't need to go where I went. I went this far because I started opening different doors to the cellar in my brain. My God, is this possible? Oh my God, that's possible. This is possible. I started to open up different compartments.

You can leave them shut. I don't care. So what I do now in the morning times, I do this because why life's not going to give me to get out of jail-free car. And if I come on here on this podcast and talk this stuff, I have to live what I say. You've lost touch with who you are, the core of your being. You're on social media too much. You're listening to what other people are telling you. You're listening to what your parents told you you should be doing in life.

You're listening to what your friends think is cool. You're listening to what the culture is all about, you know, the entertainment industry, etc. You got to cut all that shit out. You got to listen to yourself. You got to be a bit bold. You have to embrace what makes you different. I say what makes you weird because I know personally I'm a very weird person. If you saw me at home, you go, whoa, he talks to his animals like that.

He's talking to his bottle of shampoo when he's showering. That guy's strange. I like it. I don't mind being weird. I use it to my advantage. I put it in my books. You have weirdness to you, whoever you are. things that you might sometimes be a little bit ashamed or embarrassed or uncomfortable with, right?

But you shouldn't be. What makes you different, what makes you particular strange, if you want to use another word, is your strength is your source of power. For me, that was a gift that life gave me was this like low-key delusional belief. And so when I was living in Moss Side, stealing pizzas and stuff, I started recording it in my diary and doing little videos. And it's crazy. In the first page of my diary, I lied to my diary.

I said, I'm recording these, this journey because a production company has asked me. It was just that I always believed I'd be here. However, when I try and impose that on to people and tell them the importance of self-belief, and I see these people who have got their confidence just absolutely in the bin because of experiences they've had or their dad when they were four years old told them that they're a piece of shit. And my fluffy words, you know, when they're 35, aren't stronger than those words that their dad said to them. You know, I struggle to try and tell them how to get to that place of genuine.

self-belief because as I said, you can't fake it. If Stephen had a shred of doubt in my side, I'd still be there. How did you cultivate that self-belief? Being told no all the time, being told I can't all the time. And I think for me, I know that there's certain things that I'm not amazingly great at, but I guess the self-belief thing really came from always knowing that I was meant for more. For me, I always thought, why should I limit myself? I believe that anybody can do anything. I think you can break the model.

Steve Jobs, break the model. Mark Zuckerberg, break the model. I think that there's no one blueprint that you have to follow, and that's what I get most of my inspiration from for myself. So you and I agree on that completely. You can do anything you set your mind to. Absolutely. But most people don't.

It's true. So salt and riddle for me. Why don't they? I think they don't because of fear. I think a lot of people are afraid to jump all the, It's kind of like having faith. A lot of us say we believe, but we don't really show it. Through my journey, I figured out the one piece I was missing.

I thought it was cars. I thought it was women. The one piece I was missing was me having the courage to face myself. And once you do that on a daily basis, it's not about the running. People are going to be, you're about working out. Where I got my work ethic from was the hours I had to spend learning this. when you sit down and you're not smart and you have a disability and you still want to be at the top of your class, I didn't want to just get by. When I realized that I can learn through hard work and I can beat the valedictorian in school, but I got put in 10 hours more a day than he does, you know what kind of strength comes from that?

When you're sitting down that guy that valedictorian study for an hour and you know I caught you. I caught you and I am dumb, but I have the work ethic to catch you. That's where David Gaga's got really invented. It was at a kitchen table with 20 spiral notebooks that were empty. And then three months later, they were full. This is unbelievable. There's no miles. It's not about the miles.

It's that having a discipline every day to say for me to learn this one math problem, it's going to take me 10 hours. Wow. And that's where it, and you realize through hard work, you can do, you can outwork anybody. Remember how bad ass they are? You have to be the champ before you beat the champ. You understand. Does that make sense?

Yeah. You can't just pop it's by training and doing pushups and knocking people out. This is I'm going to the channel. You have to be the actual champ. Your conduct, your lifestyle, have to be the champ before you actually wear the belt. I tried 24 different businesses to finally get to Absumo to finally eventually get rich. So yeah, you're swinging, you're swinging, but just one works. Awesome. But I think people don't swing enough. They don't even get started swinging. And that's, you know, they're not ready

on the sidelines. And there's never, there's never a good time. The best time is right now. It's not yesterday because that passed. It's not tomorrow because you don't know. It's right now. The reason I always do things that I think I might fail at is because I don't care what anybody thinks if I lose. It's a very big deal, guys. The reason I take so many risks and always did, and that's why I won was because if I lost, I didn't care about what anybody thought about my L. It's my fucking L.

I'm telling you, if you can figure out how to get every voice out of your mind, your whole life will change. Doesn't mean you don't take advice from people, but if you realize how to get quiet up here, everything's different, man. What's scary about failure? I love losing.

It means I learn something. If I'm really honest, to have a certain level of success, I do believe you do have to be obsessed with it. If your goal is to be successful, but then also have weekends and also have a certain standard of relationship and have family, that's not wrong. That is your goal and you do that. But when people say that to me, my goals are I want to be exceptionally good at this one thing. And that is going to require a certain level of dedication. I just believe in me. and I'm going to overcome all my adversities.

I'm not going to, you know, it's like this. The truth set you free, but it's going to make you miserable first. And so I realize life is all about in here. It's all about your belief system. I love that. Listen, listen, one minute you could say, I'm a nobody. Listen to me. I'm living in an abandoned building with my family.

And next day, I'm Mike Tyson. What does it take to be a true champion, to be the best in the world? It's something. You lived it for a long time. What does a mindset have to be like if someone wants to be the best in what they do? It's just dedicating and sacrificing your life

to be in a particular way you want to be able to, like you want to conduct it. Say you want to be like Tony Robbins. You get all the information you can about Tony Robbins and you conduct you. This is how I want to live my life.

This is almost like, this is your manuscript. Yeah. You know what I mean? A blueprint. Yeah. Yeah. This is what I'm going to live.

to do. Yeah. And I'm going to live like Tony. I'm not going to be Tony Robbins, but I'm going to live here. I'm going to conduct myself like Tony Robbins. Yeah. So you got to live it, you got to breathe it. Yeah, and you have to be that before you actually become the person.

Interesting. You're not going to become the person over there. You think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now. Tomorrow you're Tony Robbins. You didn't know. It's going to take time, so I'm going to become this guy. You know, I'm going to be this guy before, because you're not ready. But when time comes, you're going to be ready.

You're going to be Tony Robbins. This is my life. customers, of course I got this role, of course I got this job, of course I got this rate, I prepared for it. You wouldn't need to be surprised. You have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle. You got to be him before you become him. That's how it starts. You look at somebody, I want to be like him. You don't say, hey, I'm a bad mom. I want to fight anybody out here, nobody's going to kick my ass. You see somebody and say, hey, I might want to do that.

Well, greatness is when you make your delusion is your reality. Nothing is impossible for somebody who's going to try. If you're going to try, it's capable of being done. But you'd fight Tyson Fury. Yeah, I fight a lion if the price is right. My whole objective is your total surrender, your total domination. I'm going to destroy you. That's why Rogan said when he watched you, you were intimidating.

Your rage is a very unique rage. Well, that's therefore to be intimidated. How you always my mind? scared he's something he worked for. I respect the person who's willing to die for what he truly wants. Ali has the will to win like nobody that ever lived in boxing.

He believes he projected to his opponent. Really look at how does Ali beat George Foreman? How does Ali be Sonny? Listen, how do you beat these guys? How do he even beat Joe Frazier fighting the way he fights? He beats them because he refused to lose. But we have

to believe that we're divine and that we learn from our experience. Confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence. They go hand to hand. I just know when people go all in on the thing they love, magical things start to happen. Maybe it doesn't happen right away, but magical things start to happen.

It's almost like what if you're obsessed and went all in on these things, what could you create? We all live in our bubble. My therapist calls it the lifeboat. We all live in our lifeboat, right? But we're all on the same ocean. So depending on how good your lifeboat is,

you weather the storm or not. Because if you're not willing to go in there and face yourself, I can find anything. You can live right here on surface, man, right here on surface. Don't half acid. Don't half acid. Boy, that never goes out of style, does it? I mean, think about it, if you're going to do something,

if you've chosen to do something, whatever it is, easy, hard. If you give it your all and you don't have acid, win, lose, draw, get what you want, don't get what you want, whatever the outcome is, If you don't half-ass it, at least you're not going to have to wonder, oh, would the outcome have been different? I feel like we spend too much of our lives waiting for life to happen. Sometimes we need to start being in their life instead of trying to see it. This is my belief.

When you go all in on something and you truly believe in your heart that this is what you're meant to do and you let go of something, you're like, but I don't want to lose this. Because what if they're going to be a great partner in the future? What if they're going to be a great parent? Well, they show these qualities that maybe they could work out. for me. As opposed to no, going all in on the thing that you know you're meant to do. So it's today of the day, right? The biggest fear they have is making this thing, right? They don't want to be seen stupid. They don't want to lose status as a result of this decision. And so when we're dealing with that, it's making them understand that you don't need time

to make a decision. You need information. But so many people are stuck in that same spot for why they're not taking action, whether it's selling a product or selling themselves. Don't you get it? through all the bumps in the road and the stormy weather the heart of a champion they can never measure that's why you have to be all in so if there is an ending to this world

and there is somewhere to go and there's a judgment you're going to get there and you might see a chart and that chart may tell you who the fuck you should have been and now you get the rest of your life to think about that

man I could have lived a much better life if I just would have just suffered a little bit more. If I just would have went in that shit and realized I had so much more but fear in the 40% in living here versus living here being afraid. Stop me. I struggle.

So that's the language I'm great at. So if I can break down things into a struggle language, now I make it the game winnable for everybody. And that's the goal, to make the game winable for everybody who's bold enough to step into it. to the batting cage. If you bold enough to do that,

I was bold enough to jump in a goddamn 152-foot tank with sharks in Dubai. If you bold enough to do it, there's an experience that comes from that. And that experience is so exhilarated, it will take you to the next level. Because now you keep chasing the next level of you. And that is when you start understanding life

at a whole other concept when you start understanding that, yo, for the longest, I was just low-level living. I was low-level thinking. Thank you for tuning in. Continue strengthening your mind by listening to our other episodes.
