- Nothing great in the world has
been accomplished without passion.
Without passion.
Passion is the key, truly entrepreneurship.
Passion, knowing, I want you to kind of
think back a moment in time when you
kind of first started your business.
When it's just the first, when you started
business that first week, that first month,
were you excited, yes or no?
- [Audience] Yes.
- Yeah, what was that like, tell me what was that like?
What was it like when you first started your
business and said, "Yeah, I'm going to be my own boss."
What was that like?
Invisible, yes what are, yell out the words.
Invisible, I like it.
- [Audience Member] Incredible.
- Incredible, yes.
- [Audience Member] Exciting.
- Exciting, yes.
- [Audience Member] Powerful.
- Powerful, yes.
- [Audience Member] Optimistic.
- Optimistic, then what happens
after a couple months, after a couple months.
- [Audience Member] Back to reality.
- Yeah, back to reality, yes.
(audience laughing)
Yes and reality kind of kicks you a couple times, right?
Yeah, and then we lose that passion, we lose the hunger.
- [Audience Member] Fear takes over.
- Fear takes over, what if it doesn't work?
Self doubt takes over, what if
I'm not as good as I think I am?
What if only I like my stuff and nobody likes my stuff?
All this internal communication.
That's why the passion is gone, that fire.
But here's the thing, again if you want
your employee to be eight or nine,
you got to be at at 10 or 11.
If you are not passionate you can forget about having.
If you cannot motivate yourself
you can forget about motivating other people.
So, knowing that passion, guys listen.
After all these years, I'm just as
hungry today as I was 10 years ago.
And all of them made of lot of money but I didn't relax.
I didn't go, "Oh you know what, let's just, chill.
"Let's just relax, oh come on man."
Drinking my tea, sitting on the beach.
No, no because as an entrepreneur,
As a high performance entrepreneur,
it's just not in my DNA, I'm just as hungry.
People say I'm a, "Oh, Dan, you're a genius."
I'm not a genius, trust me.
You know, I think my greatest genius is urgency.
I'm one hungry, motherfucker.
(audience laughing)
I'm just as hungry today.
Any deal, I'm going after 100%.
There's a great Chinese metaphor, an analogy I use
all the time, even when the lion is hunting
a rabbit, the lion still gives 100%.
Still 100%.
I could do this talk, this workshop
in my fucking sleep, seriously
because I live it, I breathe it.
Guess what I was doing last night?
Practicing.
Guess what I was doing in the morning?
Practicing because that's what a professional does.
We don't wing it, we don't wing it.
We prepare, we prepare so much until we're sick
and tired of looking our own shit, we still prepare.
That's what it is, so passion, you have to be passionate.
Imagine the power you're going to have
if you can just think back in time,
that passion, that lust that you had for your business.
In the beginning, that period of time.
If you could just re-ignite that.
What would happen to your business?
Just think about the power of that.
It doesn't cost you anything, it's
a simple mind shift, that's it.
Now, it's not something that I could give to you.
Do you follow what I'm saying?
It's not something that I can give to you.
Who can ignite that for you?
Yourself, you gotta go back to your why.
Why, why are you even doing all
this stuff at the first place?
See this, this is all the foundation.
To influence others you have to
influence yourself, constantly.
The techniques are simple, I can spend
30 minutes, 40 minutes walking you
through the fundamental techniques.
You'll get it but that doesn't mean you could do it.
- [Audience Member] That's right.
- Doesn't mean you could do it, in order to do it
you have to have very strong internal communication.
You with me, say yes?
- [Audience] Yes.
- Yes.
