Those days that you don't want to do anything
you too tired, too sore.
You just don't feel like it
those days
Those are the days that count.
Remember the time when you
honestly
gave up on the possibilities
of the uniqueness that you had inside.
Remember that was a time
that you complained so much,
but you have did so little
So impose on yourself
the self-development of being in charge
taking charge of your life
and your health and your future
and your responsibilities and all the risks.
Take charge of your health.
You're the one that's responsible for it.
It's not a requirement of society
that you not have a heart attack
to take care of your family.
That's not a requirement of society
but you must make it a requirement of yourself
when you want this thing as bad as you want to breathe
That's when you find a way.
It does not take talent.
You don't have to be talented, right?
You don't have to be gifted.
You don't have to be the quickest, the strongest.
You don't have to be the most intelligent
to get to where I am.
That's what you gotta do.
You just gotta grind though.
Your grind, you gotta out grind
and if you're not willing
to step outside of your comfort zone
if you're not willing to understand
the principles and the possibilities
that you have within yourself.
Then everything that you are thriving
for everything that you are hungry for
will soon come to an end.
But listen to me when I say there is always hope
you have to take control
and attack it head on.
Because as soon as you do this,
just like a muscle lifting weights,
you become stronger,
you become comfortable being uncomfortable.
And before you know it,
you become a machine and nothing,
nothing on the outside can affect you
because your mind is trying to beat it down.
always fight,
take control of your life.
and you change it forever.
Make good choices today.
so you can have no regrets tomorrow
BE BRAVE TODAY
So you have no regrets tomorrow
LIVE FULLY TODAY
So you have no regrets tomorrow
NO MORE REGRETS
NO TURNING BACK
I'M ALL IN
ALL IN FOR MY GOALS
But what you cannot do
is you cannot quit doing the process.
You can not give up because
it ain't what you see.
You cannot give up
Champions keep going
when they don't have anything left in their tank
success and failure are not giant events.
They don't just show up.
You don't just suddenly become successful or suddenly have this
cataclysmic event that makes you fail.
It may look that way, but failure comes from all the little things.
It's failure to make the call.
It's failure to check the books.
It's failure to say.
I'm sorry.
It's failure you're to push yourself to do things physically
that you don't want to do.
And all those little failures day after day come together until one
day some cataclysmic event happens.
And you blame that that event happened because you missed all the little stuff.
Do you agree with me and success by the way is not some overnight event.
It's all these little things.
Success is having a vision.
Success is making it compelling.
Success is really seeing it, feeling it every day was strong enough reasons.
Success is
Feeling the sense that I'm here to grow and I'm here to give
something to the world more than just myself, all the little stuff.
That's where success comes from
in business It comes from delivering more than anybody could imagine.
All those little things add up, people go, wow, that's who
I want to do business with.
It's true.
In any area of your life.
You have to actually show up everyday and inch yourself
forward toward these dreams.
And not only show up everyday and once in a while
inch yourself, I mean everyday you have to actually take
an action that moves you forward.
Not just research, not just thinking.
Look, the power of intention is great but without
any initiative it's dead, right?
A dream is great but without any movement, it's dead.
You have to be moving towards it everyday.
You can send an email everyday,
you can make a call everyday,
you can write something everyday,
you can create something everyday,
you can contribute something everyday,
but it has to be daily.
Otherwise it will never become actualized.
The highest performers in the world didn't get there
because they were lucky.
They worked at it longer than everyone else.
They had a better work ethic and it's not that they didn't
necessarily always worked harder, they worked smarter
because they were doing the research,
they were taking the time to visual how they would be
distinct, different, how they would survive the tough times.
They really kept at it.
Keep every single day momentum going.
And if you don't do that, there's no chance.
the goal is if you own a business.
And I would assume a lot of your viewers are business owners or for
getting started in business, no matter how good you are in business.
Think about this.
The one universal rule that idiots in finance know is diversification.
The only free lunch you got to divert, because if you put all your eggs in one
basket, no matter how good the basket is, one day that real estate market,
that stock market, that bond market, that collectibles market, whatever you invest
in right now, you showed me statistically, it'll drop 50 to 70% on a day.
Now, if you're later in life, when that happens, it's over for you, right?
So you have to diversify.
And yet most people they know real estate, so they do it, or they know
stocks, they do it, or they grew up with their hands, their parents flipping
things, and it's the wrong thing to do.
So you've got to diversify in order for you to be able to truly succeed.
And that's why, when you want a business, if you put all your money
in your business, which is what most of us do naturally
you put all your eggs in one basket and there's things that can happen.
I mean, You know, you're, let's say you spent 20 years and you figured out how
to put together the ultimate map, you know, and you remember Garmin came out
with this thing called the Tom, Tom, and I remember he used to put on your,
are you old enough to remember that?
Or you put on your dash cost a hundred bucks.
six months later, what happened?
The iPhone came out with Google maps, the bastards, it was, my
friend came out with it, put Google maps with their own map on here.
And can't how much? zero what's it going to do to your business?
When someone takes your product deserving, gives away for free.
So I always tell people, competition happens.
Technology happens.
What you must do is have a second business.
With no with no moving parts, no people, no time.
Maybe it takes you two to three days a year for two or three hours after you've
read the book, you put it in place and you measure it two or three times a year.
That's it go on with your life.
Now there's a trouble in your business.
You're financially set I in my life at 31 companies.
Now we have, what do we have?
1200 employees, seven different industries.
We do 5 billion in sales.
I mean, I used to be, you know, me and my seminar business, it's grown
geometrically, but with all those moving parts, the only way I've been
able to succeed is because I pick up every one of those businesses,
I've diversified my assets so that when things were in trouble, I still
have enough economics take care of myself and keep the business going.
So everybody needs to create a money machine that works while you sleep,
that doesn't have moving parts.
And that's what this is really about.
Now, some of these are in the book called the book of joy by
the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu.
I highly recommend it.
And some of the other ones that I learned living as a monk include
four key habits, thankfulness, inspiration, meditation, and exercise.
So that's how I view happiness.
I see, as a result of practicing these daily rituals, these daily habits that
can create happiness in our lives.
Now from a more long-term point of view of happiness, it comes from purpose
and meaning it doesn't just come from pleasure and joy and purpose of meaning.
Come from a concept known as Dharma in Sanskrit, which is where you find this.
Beautiful intersection between your passion, your strengths, and your
compassion, the ability to serve with what you're naturally skilled at.
I want to talk to you about consciously designing your life.
That's an idea that I see live day in and day out.
Um, everything in your world seems completely integrated.
The people that you hang out with, the things that you do to have the
energy, the things you focus on to make sure that you remain excited.
Like it all feels.
Um, like there's nothing that's sort of by accident in your life.
So what's the whole concept.
And how do you actually pull it off?
I think I talked about this last time, a little bit with my car accident.
So when I was 19 year old kid, I had this car accident and prior to the car
accident, I had been suicidal and, you know, coming out of breakup with the
woman I loved, I lost my identity in that became suicidal, had the car accident.
And it was just powerful juxtaposition because.
I am suicidal.
Want to take my life.
And then I get an accident that says, Oh no, I don't want to die.
And it forced me to consider how I will evaluate my life at the end of my life.
And that is always been the driving force for me is I realized at the
end of my life, for me personally, I'm gonna ask these questions to
evaluate, was I happy with my life?
Did I live, did I love did I matter, which isn't for some
people are watching, like, so what.
But I was 19 and it set in me.
And so if you think about it, you know, that was what, 23 years ago,
if you wake up every day with a super clear intention and reverence for
life, realizing how short it is, you absolutely get your act together.
Well, I think first of all, it's valuing people.
Uh, you know, you have a incredible, incredible work here.
And every person here in this studio makes it happen.
And, uh, one is too small of a number to achieve greatness.
And the moment that you understand that the people that you have around
They could be your number one liability, but the moment that
you understand that and begin to value people, I think that is what.
Creates the connection because the moment that I'm.
I think we all know don't you Tom thing, don't you think, you
know, when a person values you and when a person doesn't value.
And, and so I think that giving value to people and expressing that to them is the
common ground that builds relationships.
And so, yeah, when I came in the studio, I wanted to meet everybody
because you've got an incredible successful program and I want to meet
the people who help you be who you are.
I love that.
Uh, it begins there because if I don't truly value people,
I won't add value to them.
You, you don't add value to people that you don't value.
You don't add value to anything you don't value.
So every day I value people, that's where it starts.
But then every day, I think of ways.
So, I mean, I'll look at my calendar and I look at my agenda today.
I didn't realize I was going to be with you.
And I think, well, okay, how can I add value to you?
Uh, what can I do for impact theory?
That'll, you know, just help because again, if you're constantly adding
value to people, you're going to be of great value to people.
So, okay.
I value people think of ways to add value people that I look for ways to add
value people when I'm in the setting.
I'm looking for.
Okay, what can I do?
What can I say?
And, but we, what we see is what we look for.
And so if I'm looking to add value, guess what, I'll see ways to add value to it.
Somebody else might be beside you not add value at all to you,
but, but, but I look for ways.
And then number four, I do things that add value to people.
And then number five, I encourage others to add value to people.
And I've just lived that simple formula.
I'd do that every day of my life.
It's very simple.
And I try to help other people do that.
Understanding that if they do that wherever they are leadership
culture, not a leadership culture, doesn't really matter.
They'll begin to influence it, begin to lead people in the beginning to
make a difference in people's lives.
And I think that's essential, but I think you have to be intentional.
And I think you had to be consistent consistency compounds.
But how do you like really turned that into a roadmap and
start doing the right things?
Because one, I think a lot of people could waste a moment like that.
The eyeopening thing, a lot of people could do it for a while and then
without, without concrete things to do on a daily basis, like what
I really want people to understand.
In, um, all the research that you've done in high-performance and all that,
it comes down to things that you can do.
It comes down to things that you can teach.
It comes down to things that people can, um, structure their life around.
And what I want to dive into today is that structure.
You know, it's funny is like, I think you nailed it.
People take an eye opening experience and some don't do anything with it.
And some people grow from it.
And I came back from that experience.
I was in college.
And prior to going back, I was the depressed kid, the sad
kid, kind of a lonely kid, kind of pull away from the world.
Kid goes hurt.
I came back and I had this new intention to live.
And so I wanted to meet people and talk to people.
They're like, who are you?
And anytime you change your life, usually people are like, what's wrong with you?
So I was like, what's wrong with you?
But I was like, I'm going to change because I knew I
didn't want misery anymore.
I didn't want suffering.
I didn't want sadness.
I didn't want negative thinking.
I didn't want poor quality of relationships.
I didn't want to feel horrible.
So I began the quest of, well, how do I not feel horrible?
So I started reading first.
I started with personal development.
Self-help then jumped into spirituality, then jumped into psychology, then jumped
into neuroscience, then jumped into sociology, then jumped into leadership
and spent every week for 23 years.
I've read a book a week on one of those topics.
For 23 years
you can't go to the future holding on to the biology of your past.
Decide what thoughts you can bring to your future.
Write them down.
Thoughts.
Like I can't, it's too hard.
I'll never change.
I'll start tomorrow.
What's wrong with me?
It's someone else's fault.
The side on what behaviors or actions or unconscious habits you have to change.
How do you talk?
You complain, you blame
You make excuses, you feel sorry for yourself.
Just become so conscious of those behaviors that you'll
never go unconscious again.
And lastly, You have to decide what emotions no longer belong in your future.
That means if you want to be wealthy, you can't take lack.
If you want to be healthy, you can't take insecurity or fear.
You got to begin to condition your body to a new mind.
