- So, the question is: how do you make shit happen?
The way that I see this is if you're getting frustrated
and things are not happening fast enough,
there are a couple of reasons, okay?
First of all, what you're actually saying is
that's not the question you're asking.
The underlying message, the underlying problem of that is
"My reality is not matching to the vision
"that I have for myself."
That's what you're actually saying.
"How can I make shit happen?"
It means, how can I get to my goals faster?
How can I turn my vision, the possibility
the future that I can see in my mind,
how can I bring that closer?
How can I get there faster?
It is not happening fast enough.
That's why you get frustrated.
That's why you say, "you know what?
"How do I made shit happen?"
So look at two things.
So you have the reality
and you have the vision.
First of all, you have to ask yourself, the vision,
is it an unrealistic vision or expectation that you have?
Let me give you a perfect example.
Let's say you're making $50,000 a year right now.
And you set a goal,
I'm gonna be a millionaire in three months.
Maybe you could do it, maybe not,
but that is probably an unrealistic expectation.
When you set expectations like that, guess what?
Unrealistic expectations ultimately lead to disappointment.
And that's why you get frustrated.
Because then you, "oh fuck man, I only got two months left,
"I'm still making 50,000;
I'm not making a million dollars yet.
"What's going on?"
And you just get pissed off.
Because, right there, the unrealistic expectation,
you're setting yourself up for failure, that's the issue.
So you gotta look at your vision knowing,
chances are, anything significant
you wanna accomplish in your life,
could be financial, could be all the areas in your life.
It takes fucking time; it takes time.
So, you have to be realistically enough,
have some accurate thinking from thinking you're rich.
You know what, I think it's gonna take me
a good five years, it's gonna take me seven years.
Okay then deep, deep breathing, deep breath.
It's gonna take you fucking seven years.
Maybe, with some fuckup in between,
misstep, mistakes, maybe it's ten years.
Alright, it's gonna take me ten years.
I got a little bit of time.
It's okay, as long as I'm moving forward
every single day, every single week
every single month, I'm getting closer
towards that vision, you're making shit happen.
On the other hand, second thing now, reality.
This is your vision, "I'm not making shit happen.
"What's going on?"
I want you to look at your current skill sets.
Let's say you play basketball
and you want to win the championship,
you wanna win that game.
What you're saying is,
"How come I'm not winning the championship?
"Fuck, I'm dribbling the ball fucking every day.
"I'm running around the court."
That has nothing to do with winning the championship game.
Are you upgrading your skills?
Are you learning how to dribble, how to shoot,
how to dunk, how to pass the ball, how to work with a team?
Training, endurance, speed, right?
Explosive power.
How to jump vertical jump higher.
Are you looking at those skill sets,
what you need to work on personally
to get you there faster or step-by-step?
Chances are what you're saying is:
"I'm not making shit happen.
"I'm doing a lot of things."
Your capabilities are not good enough.
You're not spending and investing enough time,
effort, resources, even money
to upgrade your skill sets, your capabilities.
You need to improve on that.
That's, you know what, now I can shoot with more accuracy.
I can dunk, I can jump a little bit higher.
I can work on my defense a little bit more.
As you improve on that, you bring on better team members.
I'm working with a team.
Ah, I'm winning, I'm scoring, I'm winning some small games.
Eventually, that's how you lead to that success,
that championship game and then if you are focused,
if you're laser beam focused, you're prepared enough,
that championship game, your opponent and you,
you outperform then and boom!
You hit your goal, your vision becomes a reality.
That's what I'm talking about.
So, it's not just, let me get busy,
let me do more shit, I get frustrated.
Think a little bit deeper, look within yourself.
Hmm, do I have unrealistic expectations?
Do I need to adjust that?
Look within, maybe I need to work on my skill sets.
I need to get some training.
I need to get some consulting.
I need to take some courses.
Work on that.
That's how you don't get frustrated.
That's how you make shit happen.
You don't make shit happen just working, working, working
and busy, busy, busy, no.
You make shit happen by actually adjusting this
and upgrading your mental game.
