i'm gonna give you
10 seconds to get up and get out of bed
one
two
three
four

[Music]
if you're up and you're now ready to get
after it you can go ahead and shut this
off you won
if you
are still actually lying in bed then i
can't stop right now
you have to keep listening i need to
tell you about the mistake that you are
making every morning
we have a battle
we have to beat the alarm clock
or you gonna get up and actually do
something
you will feel weak
you're gonna feel like a loser
all you had to do was get up get out of
bed instead you stayed in that warm bed
and squandered the opportunity
the other people were hustling that day
to other people who grinded who didn't
lying
get out of bed go splash some water on
your face
[Music]
so let's go now get up
and get after it
look everyone has a problem with time
but
the day is 24 hours
and we sleep six
now i know there are some out there that
say whoa whoa whoa i need eight
but i say just sleep a little faster
because the bottom line is we have
six hours of sleep 24 hours are
available so if 18 hours now available
do your work
your family
your hobbies
and also to learn something new don't
give me this thing i have a difficult
time with the time and i don't have time
for this and i have that you have time
you make the time
like you're literally gonna live four
more lives five more like from the day
you were born that you cannot remember
to write this second you're about to do
that three to four more times your
biggest advantage is timing for all the
great
things that i have in my life i would
literally give it up all of it all of it
just to be 25 i would give up for 17
years i'd give up everything i have
because that's how valuable time is
and the far majority of this room has
time and
time as their asset
and every day the number one asset they
have time they give away by being
impatient mainly on the back of
listening to society or their parents
that they have to have their [ __ ]
figured out at this age the fact that
people actually think at 18
22 or 30 you have to have your [ __ ]
figured out is [ __ ] ridiculous let me
promise you all those parents and uncles
and grandparents that push down your
throat that you have to figure it out by
now they still haven't figured it the
[ __ ] out
if for 10 years if you didn't avoid
doing what you knew you needed to do by
the deaf by your own definitions right
within the value structure that you've
created to the degree that you've done
that what would you be like
i wish i had not waited
14 years somebody said if you want to
lose something
lose money
you can get that back 8 out of 10
millionaires have been financially
bankrupt walt disney filed bankruptcy
seven times had two nervous breakdowns
but don't lose time there were 14 years
i sat on the sideline
14 years i said i don't have an investor
in me like tony robbins 14 years that
said i don't have an mba or a phd
and i can't compete with these guys i
have the complexion of rejection
14 years
i silenced myself wow
and so i regret that because there's
some people that maybe if they'd heard
my voice they would not have turned to
drugs if they'd heard my voice
their lives would have taken a different
direction and i can't get those 14 years
back that haunts me and maybe i think
that drives me when i speak with such
energy i'm trying to make up for that
time but i can't
when you wake up it's about making your
bed make your bed make sure your house
is clean make sure you get your
breakfast make sure you shower shave
whatever you're doing control that don't
hit the snooze button
all these things are very important
that's been told a lot of times why
don't you hit this news button because
you wake up already failing
you're already behind the power crew so
what happens when you hit the snooze
button
you may not make your bed
you may not do your hair the way you
want it you may not pick the right
clothes out in the morning
and i go back to this real quick
remember how you had a job interview for
a job we've had several of them in our
lives
what did you do the night before that
job weeks before the job interview we
knew you had it
you prepared your you know you had a
bowl out for your oatmeal your cereal
whatever you had in the morning time
your coffee cup was out your clothes
were laid out
you brought your best self
you're going to ward yourself because
you wanted that interviewer to see your
best self
you won you got the job
after a few months in that job you look
around
you got the job
you start to back off the clothes aren't
out you're not ready hit this news
button you don't get up on time anymore
you realize that you can still have this
job and not be your best self
the interview you is gone
your job is gone you have your job but
the interview is gone
so when the battle the morning time is
just that
is that you wake up in the morning time
when you own all this stuff because once
you leave your house
the world then gets at you
those days
when i'm tired or worn out
or
just
basically sick of the grind
what do i do on those days
i go anyways
i get it done even
if i'm just going through the motions
i go through the motions
i don't really want to work out
i work out
i really don't want a hammer on a
project
i hammer on the project
don't really want to get up and get out
of bed
yeah
i get up and get out of bed
now
these
could be signals that you need some time
off
and those signals might be right
they could be correct
but
don't take today off
not today wait until tomorrow
don't don't give in
to the immediate gratification that is
whispering in your ear
shut that down
do not listen to that little voice
instead go through the motions
lift the weights sprint the hill work on
the project get
out of bed
get off your ass and get out there and
sell something
you know work your face off and don't
buy dumb
as an overall rule i do not like
procrastination
you need to get things done
[Music]
but
if you are going to rest that is one
thing that you should procrastinate on
that's the one thing i want you to put
off until tomorrow
and if when tomorrow comes
you still feel like you need
to rest or you need to take a break then
okay
take it
but the chances are
you won't
you won't need that rest chances are you
will realize that the desire to rest was
just weakness it was just
the desire to take the path
of least resistance the downhill path
the easy path
and by simply going through the motions
you overcame that path and you stayed on
the righteous path the disciplined path
you stayed on the war path
just ask yourself this week do people
know you for your work ethic
or people are people like man you work
hard
are people actually commenting about you
showing up early and staying late
because if they're not
then you're just you're just blending in
with everybody else's work ethic at the
end of the day talent will not win the
game it is work ethic that will win the
game
look up
get up
and don't ever give up you tell everyone
or anyone
that has ever doubted
thought they did not measure up
or wanted to quit
you tell them
to look up
get up and don't ever
give up
[Music]
you
