Alright, alright, alright! Hey everybody! Michael Gebben here and I'm super excited
to be with you on another rockin' Wednesday. So today, I wanna talk to you about memories
-- not materialistic things but memories. Memories are only created by experiences.
You don't typically have this fun memory of this latest gadget that you bought, TV, or
all these types of things that are again very materialistic. I can tell you because I've
been the extreme of that. Really, the only probably major regret I ever have in life
is all the money I have spent on gear and technology thinking that's what I needed when
I started my video production company. Little did I know at the time of my naiveness, that
was the one thing that I wish I could do differently. The one thing that I encourage others in this
day and age with everything that's available is to not go out there and think that you
need tons of money to start. Things are getting so inexpensive. The biggest thing that will
make a difference in your life is YOU -- absolutely 100% and not the fact that you are the greatest
person on the planet at the thing you do and you have the greatest equipment on the planet
or the greatest everything to have for whatever profession that you're in. That will not make
you great.
My buddy, Mark always says, "You can buy all the most expensive, latest and greatest golf
clubs in the planet but it won't make you Tiger Woods." That's so true. It doesn't matter
what you're doing. You can start with nothing. There are people all over the world who are
starting with very little and they are becoming massively successful and crushing it. Sometimes
those people who go out and buy all the latest and greatest things have this assumption that
they got this but why aren't they getting all these amazing results.
Where does this all tie in to? Because for me, I love experiences. I love my family,
friends and all these great people in my life. I love doing these awesome fun things with
them - going on trips, going out to eat, going out to the movies, very simple things. Those
things to me are more important than any amount of money I could spend on all these other
crap. I wanna encourage all of you because some of you are out there right now thinking
you need to make more money, to do more so that you could do more of the things that
you actually do probably love. The thing about it is, all these crap -- the bigger house,
the bigger car, the freakiest, greatest and most expensive computers or whatever out there,
you don't need all that. If you didn't keep staying up in that endless cycle of trying
to stay up with being "cool," with all that kind of stuff... I come from a place of being
there. This is not an attack. This is because I feel this and I know this to be true. I'd
have probably 10x the amount of money that I have now and if I hadn't spend all these
money on all these crap 'coz none of it... I look back 6 months, 6 weeks later and go,
"Oh my gosh that was the greatest moment of my life, when I bought that TV or I bought
this..." No, it never was. It was those things that are priceless, those laughs that you
had with your freakin' best friend or whoever, your brother, your girlfriend, your wife,
your husband, whoever it is. It's those things that money can't buy, the experience of just
going out and going for a walk, having an awesome conversation with somebody.
Whatever it is for you, I just want to encourage each and every single one of you to know that
you have (again, I say it ever week) everything inside of you you need to crush it, to succeed,
to do amazing things. You can borrow, you can rent, you can do so many things for free.
I mean so many people take for granted the amount of things that you can truly do for
free. Go to the library, get on the computer and start researching things. Start in that
business. Start recording that first video. Find somebody who'll record the first video
to put on Youtube, whatever it is. Stop making excuses as to why you can't start. You're
probably more afraid than you are anything else. I can promise you, if you start doing
these things, you'll create an awesome life that you're floored to get up each and every
single day and you're not going "Oh my gosh..." and you don't wanna get out of bed and all
you do is look forward to Fridays. Look forward to everyday. That sounds cliché. That sounds
cheesy but it's possible. To get up every single day and to be excited, to create memories
that will last a lifetime, to create experiences that are amazing. It is possible.
If you watch last week's video, you saw that "Never Give Up" video, you know that anything
is possible. That's all I want for you guys. That's all I want. I want you guys to know
that. I want you guys to believe it. I want you guys to own it. I know you can and leave
me a comment below with what you're gonna own, what you're gonna take charge of and
what memories you're gonna create. I'm super excited for each and every single one of you
guys. You guys rock. I truly appreciate you. If it's your first time here, be sure to SUBSCRIBE.
