Interest is when you're curious about something you'll look at it it's here
you go all this is interesting let me take a look okay peace it's like a
window shopping that's what being interested is being
committed means you do it no matter what you're doing it period I am fully
committed I am all-in I want to take the island I burn the books I am doing it
completely there is no other option you guys know that word decision you know
what that word comes from the Latin root decision incision season to cut off
decision means to cut off the possibility of any other option that's
what a decision is a lot of people in this room have not been making decisions
they've been making suggestions maybe I should do this maybe I should do that
maybe I'll go into this maybe I'll put my foot in the water and see if it's
warm I do a fucking cannonball that's what I do I jump all the way in that's
the difference in my experience you're gonna see a lot of millionaire mentors
that I've brought for you here this weekend every single one is committed
and not interested and you can see it in their fucking eye you guys ever met
someone somewhere in your history that you knew this person was a fucking
machine you knew they were going places you could just tell the way they spoke
the way they talked the way they act the way they looked at you there was just a
different look in their eye if you've ever seen or met someone like that say
yes that person was committed to their success committed to their goal not the
other way around and the problem is for many of you is your environment allows
you to not be committed there is no consequence for you not being fully
committed you can just chill when you want and guess what you still got a
fucking couch the couch is a safety net so you're not working that hard you're
procrastinating a little bit because watch this I'm gonna make a prediction
right now watch this raise your hand if you procrastinate too much fucking magic
I told you all right Yeah right we all procrastinate too much
I have done survey after survey after survey of my audience and other peoples
audience you know what the number-one problem
every single person says procrastination i procrastinate too much what is
procrastination why do we actually procrastinating we say we want X and
then we settle for y why do we do that fear fear and people really they'd like
to see here's the problem some people they'd like to get the
validation from having a little problem right I'm afraid and then they go deeper
in the label it's not just fear it's fear of success it's fear of failure
it's fear of what other people think it's fear of being embarrassed it's fear
of this it's fear it's fear of fuck cares what it's fear of it's all fear we
go down down down I trace it down to the BI it's just fear what is fear it's just
a fucking emotional response it's an unconscious suggestion that's it it's
not fact it's not fiction it's a feeling three of the most
important words that I have committed to myself tattoo to my brain over the last
year do it scared do it scared
you're afraid great do it when did we decide being afraid meant don't do it
who taught you that to me when I feel that twinge my heart starts racing my
tongue gets a little dry you guys know that feeling when you're a little afraid
the Adrenaline's pumping you know what they taught you that meant when you were
a kid don't do it relax sit on the fucking couch and watch a TV show when I
get that feeling you know what it means take fucking action now Jason it's time
that's what that feeling means and if I can limit the amount of time between the
idea and the action to zero all the fucking better because that's the
difference between trying and doing I said before I'm not gonna try to sell
you something I am going to sell you something there's a big difference
tri means you're not going to do it if you were going to do it you went to
subtract you would have just done it way too many people in this in this even
in this audience most of them frankly not here but even some of you like
everything I'm saying by the way you guys are at a much higher level than the
sea of mediocrity I think that's very abundantly clear I'm not even sure that
needs to be pointed out but still a lot of you are here because you have been
procrastinating too much on what you believe to be your goal on your dreams
on your businesses on your relationships on your confidence on everything you've
been procrastinating too much and you don't even know why it's fear you know
the cure for fear I said it a minute ago do it scared Emerson do the thing and
you will have the power that's the cure there's no one there is no other way
there is no NLP trick there is no visualisation trick there's no
journaling trick no affirmation trick no incantation trick no meditation trick no
go to the hills of the Himalayas and meditate with the guru for 11 and a half
years none of that shit is going to cure you
of your fear except for actually doing the thing that's it my grandmother
passed away last year all right after battling pancreatic cancer for almost 6
years when she was diagnosed the doctors told her she had three months to live
she went almost six years that's my DNA that's running through my
blood that's survivorship that's and that's a part of me she's a fucking
survivor she was the the queen of our family one of the last times I spoke
with her she was in Michigan where I grew up and I was in California and
we're talking on the phone and we're talking about all the normal stuff to
talk about with your grandma and then she goes so Jason tell me your goals now
mind you my grandma has never asked me about my goals at all barely knows what
I do right like Heather she hasn't she'd read my book actually thought it was
really good I which is hilarious it's great she got it like she she was like
yes that is that's that's the thing she got it which goes what are your goals
and I tell her and she goes okay honey that's good that's good she was but most
of all whatever you do over the next year just win just win and her voice
drop like four octaves when she said it it was crazy to just win
and I was like I don't know where it came from I don't know I have no idea
all I know is I was like fuck yes grandma
all right fuck yes just win and that is a commitment that I've made to myself
just win whatever I'm doing just win whatever you're doing just win that is
the difference between interest and commitment I go to commit to the thing
I'm doing and no matter what whatever it takes I will just win if you will just
win say yes good all right now one other thing I want everyone here to write down
environment is destiny so we have this thing on scene capital that we call the
law of environmental exposure it is this law I never heard anyone talk about and
by the way who here has read all the books who ears read all the personal
volume books you've read thinking Grow Rich you've read how to win friends and
influence people you've read Rich Dad Poor Dad you've read all the stuff read
the magic of thinking big raise your hand if you've read all those goddamn
books a lot of hands raised right now who here knows those books really really
well raise your hand one more time like you know what's going on you know what
they say yeah a lot of you too here's the thing we live in a culture today
because of Instagram that most of the people in this room came to literally
quote all the great fucking quotes and sayings from those books because they've
seen motivational posters of them on Instagram every day for the last four
years you could say them all you are the average of the five people you hang out
with most raise your hand if you've heard that before they have a lot of
people cool show me your friends and I'll show you your future raise your
hand if you know that one that's a damn pinion yeah so we all know
the quotes about environment we all know we are the some of the five we all know
that show me your friends and I'll show you your future yet almost all of us
still like crabs in our environment and we allow them to be there what the fuck
is going on here this is the difference between knowing something and knowing
something and it's very fucking different my mission is we
again is to get the shit you already know up here and put it down here so you
actually take action on it it actually becomes a part of you that's a big big
difference I'm not here to teach you guys cool quotes about success you guys
already raise your hand if you already know what you need to fucking do a lot
of hands go up yeah it's my goal to make sure you fucking do it
that's when results happen that's when change happen all of the good stuff is
gonna happen for you in your life here's what I found I have made a great great
study in my life of trying to learn about the most successful people in
history over and over and over the people especially I look up to most
Steve Jobs is one of my heroes Benjamin Franklin one of my heroes Robert Downey
jr. one of my heroes as you guys know I love Iron Man I love the Avengers in
general all right Einstein Leonardo DaVinci I mean we can go back right and
you know what they all have in common I read all their bye on your face I
study a timeline everything that they did what happened what was the thing
that happened before that their whole life exploded and every single one right
before this explosion happened there was some type of environmental exposure some
type of exposure that they had to someone who was way ahead of where they
were at that point in their life someone who had been there and done that someone
they met in person someone they'd shaken hands with someone who they'd seen felt
touched smelled and may have been a 20-minute conversation it may have been
a six-month apprenticeship but they had that environmental exposure and it was
like the minute it was done hockey stick in terms of their growth
