hey just want a big shout-out to everybody that's out there winning right
now so many people that are getting overlooked and not heard and you know I
know the world is a noisy noisy place right now we're talking about all the
terrible things that are happening all the justices and
everything all the noise but I think we forget all the self made from scratch
claw bone men and women that have created something for themselves their
names their brands and their families and if you'd have told me if you had
told me if not too long ago you know that I don't my own business
are you still used up just let me show you something I used to uh I was a
tenant here this was a bank it's Northern Trust great bank by the
way I still have money with this was a bank you walked in here very very
conservative place
there was never more than maybe I don't know Johnny can you just pants showed
that all the cars here there was never more than maybe what
Johnny six or eight cars here and
springing back here that's called own enterprises back there cardova capital's
the company on the other side that you didn't see this is caught on university
card on e-commerce for you to told me just a few years ago back in 2008 hey
grant one day you're gonna own a company it does a hundred million dollars a year
you're gonna own a billion dollars whether real estate you're gonna be a
tenant in a bank and the bank the landlord is going to tell you they're
not really happy with you so you know what you're gonna do grant you're just
gonna buy the building
that's not even possible 12 less than 12 years ago the things you see me winning
at today we're not possible 12 years ago not even like not remotely in my in my
mental yeah there's there was an idea that one day I'd have some success and
some one day I'd be somebody maybe I'd write a book or something but nothing
like what we're experiencing today and the problem is like you really can't
there's nothing I can show you guys that somebody's not going to take and try to
twist into me being arrogant or me being you know he's uh he's trying to sell me
on get-rich-quick I'm the last guy in the world that would ever talk about
get-rich-quick if get-rich-quick is real then you're
looking at idiot idiot right now you need to turn this video off cuz it's
taken me 40 years to get in the neighborhood this right here I didn't
even know though I'll tell you how dumb I am okay and everybody's dumb about
something when we bought this building I came in here and I put our name on here
I paid it I think they wanted 14 million I paid 14 million dollars for this
building we had what 40 or 50 employees at the time this is 25,000 square feet
about it what it wasn't a good investment I knew it was a terrible
investment I tore I put my name on that building I came in and put our flags up
okay we put our name on this side of the building I thought that was the
appropriate thing to do started taking names off of everywhere else kicked out
Berkshire they were one of our tenants I didn't need them awful awful people by
the way just just nasty Berkshire u Berkshire real estate the
good ones I'm with you but you guys know the ones that used to rent here there
were nasty people so we wanted to put names I came in here and put palm trees
all the place I didn't know any of this stuff guess what I had to take my name
off the building because I was so dumb I didn't know I needed the city to approve
it so I got in trouble with the city you're a bull in a china shop but get
all these fines I don't know the point of that is this look one if they get
rich quick thing is real then I'm a dumb-dumb which I agree I am about a lot
of things and two if a dumb-dumb like me can make it anybody can make it and when
you hear somebody when you hear somebody you know getting a Super Bowl ring or an
NBA championship you don't say they're bragging you know Jordan had six rings
people I eat it on him hate it on him for being a winner though certainly his
own teammates manly good enough enough we've heard enough of him I don't want
to talk about him in every interview can you imagine being Pippen every interview
what was it like to be with Jordan you know or plaint playing on the Lakers
what's a little brown really like every interview is gonna be about the king so
you guys out there like when you see people creating hate content online
just remember what good they hate no man what do they hate no what are we all
hating on right now success is so important to your family it's so
important to your health your mental condition
like I need to be successful for me not for the money not for the watches the
cars the buildings da da da da you know the ego yeah the ego likes all that
stuff but the reality is your mental help needs to know you're winning and I
and we need to get back people need to get back to late being positive about
hard work possibly paying off you know I've made a lot of sacrifices in my life
and I'm not asking anybody to feel sorry for me I'm I do know though that the
first the first trick to success is not what you learned you don't need a buy of
course for me if you want to be successful and some guy heard some guys
in Cardone trying to sell a course ok that's not the first step to success
though first step is you have to give something up
you have to give up something about who you are you want to solve a problem you
got to give up the idea that uwv there tried every way possible you don't know
that you know that you've already tried that and that's not gonna work or it's
nothing you got to give something up my whole life is different today because I
continue to would be willing to give stuff up and 25 it was drugs I had to
give drugs up you know at 29 it was people some people in my life I had to
give them up I'm like okay I'll grew these people they love them to still
love them today but I had to move on at 30 I had to move my location I had to
leave where I grew up and moved to another city 31 I had to move again and
literally move to another city Johnny open up your your your thing over there
yeah well I was feeling that all these times when I've had to change that I
gave up the drugs gave up the location gave up the friends I was feeling
disappointment in myself I was feeling bored with myself I was feeling like
anxiety when am I going to become somebody
you know when am I gonna when am I gonna fulfill my potential look at this
beautiful piece of property right here see I think people like property like
this because it's like wow you you go on a vacation you bring your family here to
Turnberry right you stay here for a week I think
you like the time that you're getting off that you deserve it but it's also
that wow factor it's that piece of real estate you see potential
oh we built that the great catch or the the dunk shot oh my god potential its
you're about your potential and my potential and the possibility that I
could actually do something are you gonna grab them you're gonna grab coffee
you know run back here Ryan Seco back here 20 years old becomes the youngest
can you shoot get Ryan going to them to the look at Ryan when he grew that beard
when he grew that beard he thought he was Conor McGregor why do
we love and hate Conor McGregor guys bodacious loud arrogant willing to get
his ass whooped you don't care he's in it for the payday man he's in it for the
fame cuz he knows everybody's gonna forget his losses and they're gonna
remember who he was and how can I remember who you are if I never know who
you are yeah I grew up where it was like practice humility be heard be seen and
not heard no be heard and not seen be seen and not
heard never show off never brag never tell anybody what you're doing okay your
actions should speak louder than your words
yeah but not today man in today's world man if you don't tell people what you're
doing to win you are literally like you're stealing from your friends and
your family got to get rich in your mind okay for me that always starts with what
am I willing to give up I can't just add stuff if my mind is a Gordon okay and
there's trees and and bushes and flowers and weeds
and fertilizers and there's all this stuff in my mind my garden well the
first thing I might want to do before I start planting new stuff take some of
the stuff out of my garden I need to make some space I need to make some
space I need to remove the weeds I need to mulch the ground and need to take
something out I need to dig in remove stuff okay get the soil ready for new
plants and new trees and a lot of times in fact every time in my life for me to
get for me to get from this place right here where I am a park right now for me
to get from here to there I have to leave here that is the number one rule
of success I have to give up something and for me I've given up drugs
I've given up friends I gave up a girlfriend that I was like madly madly
in love with crushed me for years I've done that two of those they weren't
right for me I just want the right people for me I was in love but
whatever chemistry it diluted my power I've given up a house in Houston Texas
where I had friends and family I gave up a house in La Jolla that I absolutely
love still love today still missed that house today 20 years I've been out of
that house miss it almost every day had to give it
up though to become this guy gave up a house Elena and I gave up a house in Los
Angeles magnificent magnificent house you know I would flip my house where I
live today I would flip it off to go live back in that house today people
don't understand the sacrifices people play every day
every day I still go to work today I give up my free time to go to work
because I got a hundred and seven employees they're depending on me for a
paycheck for inspiration my company feels it when I'm not there I know they
feel it Johnny the camera guy starts missing you

everything together but even when you're the king you work you you're the man the
boss you're the you're the queen of the apartment you're still working for us
