Tim Grover: Winning has no loyalty to you. It has no loyalty to me. It has no loyalty
to anybody. You can outwork somebody, you can out study them, all right, you can do
all these different things. You can apply for a job and somebody who's less qualified
ends up getting that job. So winning has no loyalty to you.
Ed Mylett: Winning doesn't care about you. Winning will lift you up and then slap you
back down again.
Tim Grover: It's not supposed to be fair. Winning is not supposed to be fair. Life is
not fair. There's nothing that's going to guarantee you that win. But the only thing
that's going to guarantee that loss is if you don't get in this race.
Voice over: You can be sure of one thing in your life! If you don’t start, you already
lost!
There will be no guarantees.
There will be no fair play.
You are alone in this. And your only chance is to stop complaining, stop worrying about
what’s not fair, stop trying to change what you can’t change.
You can’t control life!
You can’t control your circumstances!
But you can control what you do with what you have.
And that is more than enough.
Anything outside what you can control is just an excuse.
And excuses can’t take you anywhere.
Excuses will be the death of you.
Eric Thomas: There is no excuse for not living up to your fullest potential. No excuse. I
told you, I didn’t get a new daddy, I didn’t get a new momma. What changed? I changed.
And I stopped being a victim. I stopped saying I've got to wait for good things to happen
to me. And I said I'm going to grind. I'm going to fight. I'm going to work. I'm going
to press toward. I'm going to learn. I'm going to do everything in my power. Every single
day. I'm going to do everything in my power to become a victor and not a victim. Let me
say this before and I can't explain it. But you better feel me, winners win, and losers
lose. I can't explain it any better than that. I don't know how it happens. But winners win.
And if you create a culture of losing, if you keep being a victim, if you keep letting
losing happen to you, and you keep letting people do you and treat you any kind of way.
It's gonna become a culture.
Voice over: Winners win! Losers lose!
That means that you become a winner before you win.
Becoming a winner is what makes you accomplish your goals.
And that comes with a mindset change. If you believe you can’t. If you believe
others are better than you. If you believe nothing you do matters, then you are a loser!!!
The change starts within. The change starts with you deciding that no
loss, no failure, and no pain can turn you into a victim. Because you can control your
actions. And as long as there is something you can
do, you haven’t lost yet. As long as you have the will to keep going
the flame of victory is burning bright inside of you!
Tim Grover: This isn't about fame. This is about you could be winning as a school teacher,
you'd be winning as an entrepreneur, you could be winning in business, you could be winning
as an athlete, as a waiter, whatever it is, a waitress, whatever it is, it's that every
single time you sprint to that finish line there's another start line that's coming.
And that's why it never ends it's a marathon that just keeps going, going and going.
Tim Grover: The people that don't understand your win, don't understand your grit, don't
understand your grind are like you know what why? Why it's not it's for you to know why.
It's only important for you to know why. And your why is so different than everybody else.
Grit is tied into all that it's tied into your identity and it connects with your why
because your grit may be completely different than
somebody else's, that's somebody else's grit. But the glamour is never going to be real
unless you go through the grit and the grind. It's just not. It's just always going to it's
always going to be fake.
Voice over: When you become a winner you are going to be misunderstood.
People will look at you and they will see no reason for you to be the way you are.
That shouldn’t concern you.
Those people haven’t understood the game yet.
They haven’t realized that immense success requires immense sacrifice.
They can’t see the finish line.
They don’t know what they want, so they don’t get anywhere.
You should be glad they don’t understand you!
You should be glad you are on another level!
You know victory is the result of what comes behind the scenes!
The pain, the sweat, the challenge, the awakened nights, the grit!
Compromise to being who you are!
Compromise to continuing to up the level!
This is the bottom line!
This is the game!
And this is how it is won!
Gary Vee: There's literally 300 million different ways to win in the US. That's how many people
we have. Right? There is no blueprint, there is no exact way. It only comes down to being
able to factor in the 40 or 50 indexes, input points, context points around your life.
And then navigating through that. What I really want is for people to understand don't do
it like me, don't would like you, don't do it
like Zucks, don't do it like Travis, don't do like Cuban.
Voice over: You will win on your own terms.
There is no hack. No secret formula.
There is only one prerequisite.
Become your best self!
I don’t care about what you are going to do. I don’t care how you will do it. I just
care that you give it your all!
I just care that you are able to look yourself in the mirror and say that you’ve done everything!!!
And that you will keep doing everything!!!
A hundred percent of the way!!!
Eric Thomas: We want people to make guarantees to us, but we're not willing to make guarantees
to ourselves. No, promise I’ll say it again. Like you, somebody gave you a guarantee, $30,
a 30-day guarantee in 30 days. If they don't make what they told you they were going to
make in 30 days, you got had to, you want your money back. But you never demand your
money back from yourself. You never look at yourself in the mirror and say you let you
down. Until you get to that point, you let you die. You've never, you're not brave enough.
You want to put it on somebody else. The reason why I'm not successful it's because of my
boss. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said, I'm not getting up on
time. I'm not going to work on time. I'm not going it 120% when I'm at work. I let me down.
Voice over: The time is now!
Can you give 120 percent?
Can you stand in the face of failure and still see victory in your future?
Can you look yourself in the mirror and say “ I will never let me down!”
Until you get to that point you can’t do anything.
Until you can commit to being different, commit to the sacrifice, commit to the whole package,
you can’t be a winner!
Victory is beautiful because it carries the meaning of your effort. It shows that on the
other side of pain there is joy!
There is no euphoria without pain!
What are you willing to do to get that?
How much do you value yourself?
Eric Thomas: I value myself enough to give 120% or don't do it.
Ed Mylett: Winning requires you to be different and different scares people. So if you're
worried about what others will say, the long-term effects, the sacrifices you make, the sleep
you lose, your family being angry I can't help you with that. There's nothing quote
typical about lifestyle and choices you have to make. Winning is an insight. Winning is
inside all of us but for most that's where it will stay. Trapped under a lifetime of
fear and worry and doubt. The race to speak of the sprint to greatness has no rules to
protect you. Nothing says you're going to lose, you're going to get, you're not going
to get. Nothing says you're not going to lose. Nothing says you're not going to get hurt.
You're not going to do all this work for nothing. There's no guarantee it'll be fair. Most likely
it will not be fair. You'll lose at the buzzer. You'll lose to someone who didn't work as
hard as you did. You'll lose on a bad call or a bad place. Someone else will get the
job. A pandemic will wipe out your season, your bank account, your career. Yet the prize
at the end of that race remains so compelling, so addictive, so gorgeous we keep running
and stumbling and sacrificing and competing to catch it.
