- Today I wanna teach you the one word
that is holding you back from success.
I see this on social media a lot.
Fans who follow my work, who study my work,
who watch my videos
and I will see this in the comments section.
And they will say, you know what,
Dan someday I would love to learn from you.
Someday I want to join your global community.
Someday that I would love to invest in one of your programs.
Someday I want to meet you in person.
And someday I would love to shake your hand
and say thank you.
The one word that holds you back from success
is exactly that word, someday.
You see unsuccessful people they say, "Someday."
Someday I will take that vacation.
Someday I will pay off that debt.
Someday I would quit my job.
Someday I will start that business.
Someday I will be able to provide for my family.
It's always someday and someday.
Think about in business,
if you say to yourself, someday I will get that customer.
Someday I will close that sale.
How much money have you made?
Zero, none.
I want to look at your calendar from Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
I want you to look at a calendar.
Where is Someday?
It doesn't exist.
It is a made up thing that we do to procrastinate.
There is no someday on your calendar.
It doesn't exist.
So unsuccessful people they use Someday.
Successful people use Today.
Today is gonna be the day, today I'm gonna take action.
Today I'm gonna make it happen.
Today I'm gonna close that sale.
Today is the day that I'm gonna make shit happen.
I'm gonna get shit done.
Write this down: Procrastination equals poverty.
Procrastination equals poverty.
You see unsuccessful people it's always,
Oh yeah, I'll do it later.
I'll do it tomorrow.
I'll do it someday.
Successful people we say today.
You see when you use the word someday.
Why is it so destructive?
It's simply this.
When you use the word someday you might think
it makes you look noble on the outside
because you are putting off your dreams, your goals
right, you're making a fucking excuse
because simply saying someday
because I am not ready, so someday I will do that later.
And someday never comes, and you'll never be ready.
You don't need to be ready to do something.
You don't have to get it right,
you just to have to get it going.
You do not have to get it right,
you just need to get it going.
It doesn't exist, it makes you look noble on the inside.
When you think and you lie to yourself
that it is the responsible thing to do,
that I'm not ready, I don't want to take any risk.
I don't want to take any chances.
When it is the most selfish
and irresponsible thing that you can do
to yourself and to your family.
It doesn't exist, eliminate that word from your vocabulary.
Either say, you know what I'm gonna do it today
or I'm not gonna do it.
Then just admit the truth.
If you're not gonna do it say, "I'm not gonna do it."
That's perfectly fine, but don't pretend,
don't give yourself the illusion of, yeah,
someday in the future, this not long, not far away,
distant future that I'm gonna do something.
No you're not gonna do shit.
So when I see those comments and I applaud you for that.
And it's like, you know someday I'll meet you.
You won't.
Someday I'll join your program.
You won't.
Because either you're gonna do it today
or you're not gonna do it.
I know that for a fact
because all the things that people say that they want
someday it doesn't happen.
Right there that expectation, you've already lost.
Because you're not playing to win,
you're playing not to lose.
So eliminate that word.
From now on no more someday, today.
