episode number two four three five minute friday and now is the time now is the time guys right now don't worry about yesterday don't worry about what went wrong how you messed up how you screwed up what you forgot to do what you didn didn't do, what wasn't perfect. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about what's going to happen a month from now, a year from now, five years from now. Don't worry about the future. Worry about right now because now is the time. This is the fourth quarter. This is the time that matters the most. The way you start and the way you finish is what matters the most. I don't care how tired you are. I don't care how exhausted you are.

I don't care how much you don't want to go anymore. I don't care what excuse you have for not wanting to get up and give your all in the fourth quarter. I'm about to go into one of the biggest weeks of my life for my business with my book. This is the last five-minute Friday before my book comes out, a book that I've been dreaming about for eight years, something I've been putting my life into. Literally every day I've been learning, growing, going through heartache, pain, adversity, struggle, physical pain, emotional pain, to learn the tools that I need to, to learn the skills I need to, to get to this moment right now, the fourth quarter, the playoffs, the time when it matters

the most. And a lot of the times, when we are in the last moments, so many of us give up. So many of us give in. So many of us stop giving our best we realize how hard it is it's tough it's dark there is struggle there's adversity there's pain there's heartache there's lots of bullcrap that's coming your way right now and it'd be so easy to sit on the couch and say i don't want to get up today. I don't feel like finishing strong. Well, let me tell you something. I'm going to finish strong and I don't care how bad you feel about yourself. I don't care who's putting you down. I don't care who is hating

on you, how many people are attacking you or what's happening in your life. You cannot afford to not go all in right now in the fourth quarter. This is the playoffs. This is the time where you got to go all in when no one is supporting you. If no one is on your side, if no one cares and they're all making fun of you and they're all attacking you, you've got to be the one that claps for your own self, that cheers yourself on. There are two people inside of you, your ultimate cheerleader and your ultimate hater. You get to decide which one shows up in every moment of your life. Are you going to have the cheerleader that's clapping you on,

that's celebrating you, that's saying, you've got it. You can do this. This is the playoffs. This is the fourth quarter. You can make it. I don't care how tired you are. You can go one more step. You've got this. Or are you going to have the hater, the critic inside of your head that says you suck. You're a loser. You're nothing. You aren't going to achieve anything. Don't even try because you amount to nothing. There are two people inside of you. Which one is going to show up today? Which one is going to show up when it matters the most? When the playoffs are on the line,

when it's the fourth quarter, and all you have is this moment, nothing matters from the mistakes you've made in the past, and nothing is going to matter in the future unless you take care of what your dream is right now. Now is the time to go all in and extend beyond your grasp. Now is the time to be the ultimate cheerleader for yourself. Now is a time to have more belief in yourself. When the pain sits in, it is going to be excruciating. It is going to feel like you cannot breathe.

It is going to feel like your body is going to collapse. When that happens, that's when you've got to stand up. That's when you've got to run harder. That's when you've got to train harder. That's when you've got to go to the finish line harder. It will be worth it in the end. I'm telling you, now is the time to step up. Don't settle when it's the fourth quarter.

Don't hold back on your dreams. Your dreams deserve your absolute best, especially in the fourth quarter. Become the ultimate cheerleader for your dreams because now is the time to step up. Thank you guys for listening to this 5-Minute Friday. And every day, I feel like my body is going to collapse. And that's when you got to dig even deeper and realize that this is the playoffs.

Now is the time to step into your greatness and give it all you've got. I love you guys. Thank you so much for listening. You know what time it is. It's time to go out there and do something great.
