Success is not a loud event. It's the work you do in the dark. When it's quiet. When nobody's watching. When there's no crowds. No one cheering you on. It's just you working on your craft. And in order to become the best version of you,

in order to reach heights, you have never reached. You got to put you. forth as much energy and as much effort as humanly possible. It's like that quiet walk to the gym, like footsteps, some empty-ass gym late at night, over and over and over. Whereas I sit there studying other great people and then comparing it with what I'm doing and looking at it. Over and over and over.

Doing 20 minutes of quiet meditation a day. Over and over and over. It's a very quiet process. It's not this big rah-rah speech where you do this one thing and something big happens. We look at the best of the best, and what we think is these people were gifted, and that's the myth that society and the media sells to us. Actually, what made the great ones, the great ones, was what they did every day, their daily routines. Habits are the building blocks of our lives. Not the goals or the grand schemes or the vision or the big idea.

it's what you do every single day that matters more than anything. Just focus on getting the job done every single day, whether you feel like it or not. What I do is I focus on maybe one or two or three things at a time and then I just do it. And then I get that done and then I do the next thing. And then I get that done and then I do the next thing.

I'm not the strongest. I'm not the fastest. I'm not the smartest. But I will work hard. I will be up when my competitors sleep, I will be up. When my enemy is curled up in bed, I will be up getting after it. You got to get over your mind going, I can't do this, it's just too hard and all that. You got to push yourself through when you feel exhausted and say,

there's a second wind in me, I'm going to find it. But if you find yourself saying, I can't do something, I don't want to do something. But you know if you made yourself do it, you're going to be a better human being, then you must do it. Don't hesitate to do it immediately. Some people say, well, that's not a very safe life. That's not very secure light. If you want security, go to prison.

If you want freedom, this is how you live. Average people won't understand you. They don't get it and never will. The shape will never understand the mentality of winners. Why are you so antisocial? Because I'm trying to get it. Every time I text you and invites you to go do some fun and cool, you always studying because I'm trying to get it.

If you want to win, folks, you've got to stand up and you got to say, I'm so sick and time. to be an average and ordinary. If you make that shift, I'm going to win. We're going to play to win now. We're not playing to play. We're not playing to see how we do. Once you start getting some winning, you start changing.

We talk different. You walk different. All of a sudden, this isn't the same damn human being. You can change you. You'd be surprised what a little winning would do. You'd be surprised how good you'd be if you just decide to win. Be number one in your office, number one in your region. winners, they do whatever it takes to get the job done.

They do it and do it and do it and do it until the job gets done. If you want to become somebody, do it. If you want to become financially independent, do it. Almost everybody can stay excited for two or three months. A few people can stay excited for two or three years, but a winner stay excited forever. The difference between winning and losing in life and everything of being a great leader and not, wealthy and not, a big business and not, making a difference. a knot is so small. What's the separator? They do exactly what everybody else does. And one more. When

they make 10 contacts a day in their business, they make the 10, they make one more. They read one book a month, they read one more. They do 30 minutes on the treadmill. No, they do 30 plus one more. They do 10 reps on the bench press. No, 10 reps, one more. When you set that standard, your entire life begins to shift and change. You have to go the extra mile. You have to go all in. You have to go all in. have to quit leaving things up to chance. Real winners, they do every fucking thing that possibly can that they are in control of every single time, every single day for a long, long, long time to win. They understand the last 20% is what separates them from everybody else. It's what separates you from where you want to be. We're tired of the 60% you. We're tired of this

complaining you. We're tired of this version. Greatness is in you. You are here. You owe you an explanation. You need to look at yourself in the mirror and say, why are you only giving 50%? What's wrong with you? You hear, leave your dog on mark. So whatever you got to do, you do it. I ain't about to miss this opportunity.

I'm about to give everything I got. And I will know if I don't get another gig, it won't have anything to do with the fact that I didn't put everything on the field. I need effort from you. I need you to match whatever effort the enemy is putting up. Whoever your enemy is, match the doggone effort. Every day I feel like driving in the night's car.

Every day I feel like flying first class. Every single day of my life, I feel like giving $100,000. Every single day, I don't have days where I don't feel like it. Why? Because I'm counting on me. My wife counting on me. My son's counting on me. I don't have days to waste because I value myself enough to give 120% or don't do it.

Because I owe it to myself. And can't nobody stop me but me. When you execute, when you sacrifice, there are no limits. Execute, execute, execute. Why? Because when you get results, you get rewards.
