a lion runs fastest when he's hungry
you don't really think about it you just
go bike as hard
and as fast as you can for as long as
your body will allow you to do it
go get up earlier stay longer work
harder fail fail again never
give up go i mean just knowing
that you need to like go all in here and
do everything you possibly can and work
as hard
you have it's possible you know to make
it happen
you have this power now isn't the time
to wait now isn't the time to waste
nothing was stopping me at that point
and the more people said couldn't be
done
the more fired up it got me go
you are powerful you are full of courage
you are unique you are independent
you have direction you write the rules
step up to your authority and take it
take the opportunity
this is your chance your chance
to change your chance to so much more
this is your opportunity to start the
process of your self-improvement
the self-improvement that defines your
future a future
full of success this is the opportunity
this is your opportunity don't just
throw it away
this is how it all begins for you this
is where it can finally happen for you
where you can grow and be selfish and
not wait for the approval of others
your time to be your best version of
yourself
this is for you you and only you
before in my life so many failures you
know growing up in things
and the way deal with it is not to dwell
on it at all
just you just have to basically as soon
as you recognize
first of all being objective about
progress
so constantly reevaluating all the new
information so you could basically say
you know here's the vision and you start
marching
and information is coming at you every
day competition
things the market the world whatever you
need to
take in that information and then kind
of reassess constantly
so you can be objective about making
decisions and if you get to a point
where
you realize what you thought was true a
year ago or two years ago is not true
anymore
given all this information now where
where do you need to be
and as soon as you recognize that being
able to tell people i was wrong forget
that
i know i said that that was when the
information was this new information
new we're going to pivot and then get
everybody aligned around it but
willing to take that risk of looking
stupid and
basically just changing your mind and
sometimes that happens over a year or
two years sometimes
it could be months you could be months
and say you know what
wrong objectively we've got some new
information
let's go in this direction so i think
you can't dwell you just have to
reassess
and and go if you're thinking about the
failure or
feel bad even for a minute that's just a
minute of lost time
going forward first thing is
people think the idea is not good enough
and they think the idea is way more
important than it really is
and people try and find ideas that have
never been done before
which usually result in niche little
businesses i challenge people all the
time to say it's not about the idea it's
about the execution
find and pick any industry out there
there's a way to disrupt it there's
already a big market
if you just figure out a way to do it a
little bit better and execute well
you could make a nice return on on
capital it doesn't doesn't have to be
anything super innovative so i think
that's what holds people back
i think once people get going i think
they spend too much time
thinking about all the things that could
go wrong and they get overwhelmed
it literally just paralyzes them i'd
always say like
forget about all that stuff today is
today
what's the biggest step you can take
today toward your vision
well how can you make the most progress
against the vision today
so i always push people to be really
clear about the vision and then and then
they take that step and then it's the
next day and they say well what
no no don't focus on that what's the
biggest step you do and as you start
lining up
five six seven eight weeks months in a
row
you're like wow look back made some
serious progress and focus on like how
far you've come
and and keep the vision in mind but
don't get caught up between today
and the vision because you'll just
you'll spin out of control you
have this power go become undefeated
keep your resolve and silence the critic
within
forget the other critics because they
will not respect you at the bottom
they'll ignore you in the middle and
they will be resentful
at the top as you rise without
negativity and doubt
you become stronger wiser and more
determined
your environment will still be new and
you will still
consciously and unconsciously structure
yourself
and restructure your sense of self you
will always be learning
adapting and patient in the pursuit
your love will be unbound and
unpretentious
and your greatest achievement precedes
the last
first of all people need to feel
an intense sense of ownership of their
idea
so making sure that you know when
somebody has an idea
you can help them mold it but it's their
idea and
and they have to feel like they're
they're accountable to it to the idea
pushing them to go out there and tell
the world friends
family everyone about their idea and
what their vision is what they hope to
achieve and it's amazing how infectious
that can be when somebody gets out there
and they start telling people like wow
that's a really good idea or can you do
that or i don't think you can do that or
and you start whether whether somebody
says you can't do it or they say well it
sounds like an amazing idea in either
case it's pretty motivating
i find the people that are scared to
tell people about it
because they feel like some sense of
like now i'm kind of committed or you
know i've told all my friends about this
big idea i'm going to go do
um so just getting somebody to go out
there it's kind of like you know if you
want to work out they say
you know you know put your shorts your
t-shirt your shoes right next to the bed
get out of bed and put them on
and once you get them on it's easy to go
um
it's a similar kind of thing it's like
once you have your idea start telling
everybody you know
about this idea and how you're going to
do it and usually that
kind of starts to snowball and then
people feel a sense of
accountability to it
let's go with with the the core you know
be good to people um treat people as you
want to be treated
be empathetic be kind
what drives someone's happiness at the
end of the day when you kind of
when you really get into it it's people
want to be understood they want to be
heard
they want to feel like that there's
something bigger than just
dollars and cents in business and i
think being empathetic
is putting yourself in somebody's
situation and being able to
relate to how they feel about business
situation things outside of business
personal stuff
and i think that builds a lot of
trust and respect and
people willing to to be more loyal and
committed
and willing to give the best that
they've got
when they feel it's also a feeling of
safety too
i think when when people feel listened
to
heard and understood they feel safer and
a lot of times people don't give their
best
or do their best because they feel
unsafe
which brings to another topic around you
know just
creating a inclusive work environment
which i think is super important and the
empathy plays a big part of that
start now start where you are
start with fear start with pain start
with doubt
start with hands shaking start with
voice trembling
but start go start and don't stop
start where you are with what you have
just start go
surround yourself with people who push
you to do and be better the biggest
communication
problem is that we don't listen to
understand
we listen only to reply rock bottom
will teach you lessons that mountaintops
never will
let them run let them create not get in
their way
go every morning you have two choices
continue to sleep with your dream or
wake up and chase them
knowing is not enough we must apply
willing is not enough we must do
if you focus on the result you may lose
but if you focus on enjoying the process
you will always win
[Music]
it makes no sense why people think that
at 18
22 30 they have to have their life
figured out when figuring
everything out is a forever game
you will continue to suffer if you have
an emotional reaction to everything that
said to you
true power is sitting back and observing
everything with logic
if words can control you that means that
everything else can control you
breathe and allow things to pass
the most dangerous person is the one who
listens
thinks and observes
stop making excuses yesterday you said
tomorrow
it's already tomorrow and you are no
closer to your dreams
it's easy to spot a yellow car when
you're always thinking of a yellow car
and it's easy to spot an opportunity
when you're always thinking of an
opportunity
it's easy to spot a reason be mad when
you're always thinking of being mad
you become what you constantly think
about your thoughts become words
your words become actions your actions
become habits
your habits become character character
is who you are and determines your path
in life
you make your own destiny people don't
lack strength
they lack will what defines us is how
well we rise after falling
give people time give people space
don't beg anyone to stay let them roam
what's meant for you will always be
yours
when the battle of life is upon you
remember
you are strong when the odds are stacked
against you remember
you are powerful when it all gets too
much
remember it's in the darkness where the
fire is lit
[Music]
congratulations you're a winner
