Here's the deal. If you get to the top of the tree,
all the fruit from the bottom and the top is gonna be there son.
So I don't need you focusing on cars and money and stuff.
You gone get that.
I need you to focus on why you were born in the first place.
Why are you here on earth for this particular time?
What are you doing here?
You need to tell you that you owe you something.
I don't want nothing from you
but for you to leave this room and know what you want.
What do you want in your marriage?
What do you want with your son and your daughter?
What do you want in your health?
What do you want financially?
Like, how much money do you want to make a year?
What do you want to drive?
How do you want to live?
Stop just waking up like an accident. What do you want?
And then once you find out what you want,
spend the rest of your natural life waking up and going after it.
The reason why I speak with so much passion,
E.T. why do you speak with so much authority?
Because I'm talking about my life,
not something that I read.
I ate out of trash cans.
You ain’t gotta start with the two-parent background
you ain’t got to start with wealth
you ain’t got to start with your parents graduated
it’s not the hand that you dealt.
You got rich kids who on drugs,
you got rich kids who committed suicide,
you got rich kids who don’t know their purpose in life.
It’s not the hand that you was dealt baby
it’s how you play your hand.
Every opportunity is the last opportunity.
Every opportunity.. I have to reprove myself again.
Every opportunity I’m still nervous
E.T you've been doing this for years, why are you so nervous?
because the day you become content.
The day you stop evaluating yourself.
The day you stop growing, the day you stop getting better
is the day you die.
Is the day the person who's trying to catch you will catch you.
And I ain't where I want to be and I'm like God I ain't where I want to be
and He was like, you stop being a victim.
I said what you mean a victim.
Well, it ain't my fault my mom got pregnant at 17.
It ain't my fault my daddy wasn't there.
And it isn't my fault they couldn't get along.
It ain't my fault, He said boy you grown.
You ain't ten no more
You.. the decisions you make right now is up to you.
You crying about something that happened to you when you was a kid.
You ain't even no kid no more, you're a grown man.
Take full ownership of the stupid stuff you doing
your parents didn't make you play no video games.
What you crying about, so what your daddy wasn't there,
your mama ended up getting married
what you crying about?
He went to work every day
he never beat you, he never abused you
your mama did the best she knew how to do.
What you crying about?
You grew up in a house, what you crying about?
You've been lazy your whole life,
and now somebody told you could make six figures
And you go knock on the door 100 times and your body sells you a lie
You ain't never gave 100%
In order to knock on the door 100 times
you're going to have to give 120. Get up out of here, you can't do this
you have to fight
and fight
and fight.
And most of you won't be successful not because you can't do it
but you can't outlast your old you long enough to get to your new you.
Every day when I wake up I got all kind of demands.
You got all kind of demands.
And the reason why you're not where you want to be
is not because you're not great
but you taking all other people's stuff
before you're spending enough time with yourself
to get to know you and get to know what you want and what you should do.
And so please raise your hand with me if you're saying E
from this day forward I make a commitment to myself
in a way I’ve never made a commitment to myself before. Let me see your hands
I said I'mma grind
I’m going to fight,
I'm going to work,
I'm going to press forward,
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.
I've never seen, I've never seen the All Blacks play a day in my life
and if you watch some of my videos I have the All Blacks in my videos
why? Because they're what?
They're winners!
When you're a winner, winning spreads.
So everybody
I got videos where I'm like y'all I don't really know how to show my passion.
Somebody said 'get the All Blacks.'
I'm like, yup, that's what I need, the All Blacks.
Yup, yup, I need the All Blacks
I need the all- why? Because they say what I'm saying,
they just saying it in rugby I don't say- I don't know no- I'm like, whew that's a violent sport.
Their passion is all over there. Why? Because winners win.
I can't explain it to you,
but you better stop making excuses and find a way to win.
How do you do it then E? We wake up and grind.
Winners win.
I focus more on winning than I focus on structure.
I focus on winning, and when you become a winner
they start seeing you with winners.
You want- you know what's so funny?
We want people to make guarantees to us,
but we're not willing to make guarantees to ourselves.
No bro, I'm gonna say it again like you, somebody gave you a guaranteed 30 dollar-
30-day guarantee.
In 30 days, if you don't make what they told you it's going to make
in 30 days, you gotta attitude you want your money back,
but you've never demanded your money back from yourself.
You've never looked at yourself in the mirror and said, you let you down.
Until you get to that point, you let you down.
Yo people don't get it, write this down your DNA is in your dream.
We go to school for all these years
and they never really show us the importance of dreaming.
I said to my son, son, I gotta ask you a question like
and I'm being serious I said,
do you believe you created yourself?
I said, do you believe as a human being
not in a braggadocious way
but that you are the greatest level of all creation.
And he's like, you mean like over a deer?
I was like, yeah, deer.
He'd be like, you mean better than an eagle?
I'm like, yeah, like an eagle.
He was like of course, because we can make decisions.
We can do things. I said okay okay
I just want to go back again You don't believe you were created?
He said, no. But you believe there's a higher power?
He was like, yeah
and I said okay, okay, okay you believe as a human, you're powerful?
He was like, of course.
I say so as a human do you believe you were just born
to be in a relationship, have sex and have money and buy stuff?
He was like, hmm
No, I guess it's something bigger than that dad.
Why have you never gone after your calling?
Why do you spend so much time worrying about a relationship?
Why do you spend so much time son, worried about money and cars and stuff?
If you really believe what you just told me, that
as a human there's something greater than that then why aren't you on that?
He was like, I don't know. I said cause here's the trick son
if you get this and that you still might not get you.
Now why is dreaming important?
I don't care what level you get to
I need you to dream.
I need you to focus on why you were born in the first place.
Why are you here on earth for this particular time?
What are you doing here?
Anybody can buy a car, son
animals get in relationships
animals have sex, and have kids.
Son, it's got to be deeper than that.
If you're higher as humans
then while you're here on earth you got to do more than what animals do.
We got to.. we got to go to work.
We got to go to work because if I can get you to identify
how much energy you put in others and in other people's dreams
and I can get you to pull back
and I can get you to do what you were born to do, what you were created to do
whoo now why is dreaming important?
I don't care what level you get to. I need you to dream, right?
I need you to.. guys I need you to spend a considerable amount of time
dreaming every single day. Let me tell you why.
I've noticed that the people who dream and those people who dream big
have a different kind of life than the people who don't dream.
So if you were here and you were like I'm scared
whatever you do, do this for me.
Do not sabotage yourself with fear.
Fear is not real
that's something in your brain like, it does not exist.
How do we get over it?
You get over it by dreaming of what you can be.
Come on! Y'all got to hear what I'm saying
there are those of you in this room
you spend a majority of your life doing what other people want you to do.
You don't even know who you are.
And so even what you're doing, you're not doing at 120%
because you're doing what somebody else wants you to do
and you're not that, you're not good enough to be somebody else.
So I need y'all do me a favor,
I need you to get- I need you to be selfish on the dream piece
because what you have to understand is
when you know who you are and you start operating in that,
you're gonna start blessing people in the way you couldn't bless people
before when you didn't really know who you are.
See this is the teaching the millennials need.
This is what the millennials need guys.
The millennials have rushed right into what they thought we wanted them to have
and that's cars and stuff, why?
Because a generation before for some of us
right, it was a working class so they were- they were in poverty, guys.
And so they grew up watching their family work hard to get stuff.
And so now we're wondering why they just want stuff stuff stuff stuff
cause that's all they've seen in their homes, that's all they heard.
They seen their parents go out and bring- buy nicer houses and get better cars
than grandma had, better stuff.
So I need you to be selfish on the first tier and that's dreaming.
I need you to be real selfish
because you can't help anybody else,
you can't do for anybody else
if you're, if you hurt.
You want, you know what's so funny
we want people to make guarantees to us
but we're not willing to make guarantees to ourselves.
Now I'm gonna say it again
like you, somebody gave you a guaranteed 30 Dollar, 30-day guarantee.
In 30 days, if you don't make what they told you it's going to make in 30 days
You got an attitude, you want your money back
but you've never demanded your money back from yourself.
You've never looked at yourself in the mirror and said, you let you down.
Until you get to that point, you let you down
you've never, you're not brave enough,
you want to put it on somebody else.
The reason why I'm not successful is 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 putting in 120% when I'm at work,
I let me down.
You just said you're giving 50%, you owe you an explanation.
You owe you an explanation.
You need to look at yourself in the mirror and say,
why are you only giving 50%? What's wrong with you?
You need to put yourself on punishment.
You need to tell you no more TV,
no more snacks, no more desserts,
no more, no, we are working out now
no more alcohol, not right now
not- no, I can't handle it right now.
You need to tell you that you owe you something.
So listen to me, there are those of you saying I want to be a millionaire,
I want to be the best at this company, right?
But your values system says you believe in sleep more than you believe in grinding.
Your values system says you are a consumer and not a producer.
That you're spending more money than you're making, why?
Because you're a consumer but you're
you're reading all the books and you're saying everything the books are saying
but those books are not in alignment with your values
and if you're going to go to the next level your values are going to have to change.
Nobody ever told them to dream.
Nobody ever told them that DNA is in their dreams.
We told them that their DNA is in their money.
