Write down this success rule
trust me
If you wanna be bad ass, here you go
number one
Surround yourself only with bad asses,
or number two,
people who are on their way to becoming bad asses
they are not yet, but you see the twinkle in their eyes
you see the potential
but remember, these two only work if you follow the third one:
Be a bad ass yourself cuz you can't be judging people
If you're not a bad ass already
or on your way to becoming a bad ass.
Now this is a tough rule because to implement it sometimes feels a little bit harsh
You gotta start--
And people do it wrong Some people do it wrong
So they look around them
This is primarily for friends and family--
OK
They get all supplies to co-workers
And things like that
Business partners, acquaintances But
Where you go wrong with this
Is you instantly find some people
That have been close to you
Old friends, family members.
And you cut them out completely
You don't have to do that.
Remember, what the rule says is "spend time"
So. Time is incremental. Meaning
you can just reduce the time
That you spend with people that aren't bad asses
But you gotta do this
Now, I gave you those three principles. You can put them
In reverse order
Number three,
which is "be a bad ass yourself"
You'll have no credibility calling people out
If you aren't a bad ass, then you want to
judge yourself even more critically than other people. More harshly. Because, umm
*mumble* come off like a hypocrite.
(What's goin' on here? Got lots of people--
what are you guys workin' on?
gettin' some work done?
Lots of fun stuff?)
[background person "are you gonna go
and eat dinner outside?"]
(Look at those GLASSES!)
(Do you like your/those glasses?)
["yeah, haha"]
Um, so whenever I
follow this rule
Well,
life starts to be amazing.
Whenever I start to
compromise and let quality decrease
It comes back to bite me in the butt.
So, what I try to do
mentally is rank where I am
1 to 10
and then
let's say I'm at
7 or something like that
bump it up.
Then I start evaluating people around me.
Now, I have a lot of employees
so I do it with employees
and I say, "you know, work for me,
you're either a bad-ass already
or I could see it
potential in your eye--
or else I'm gonna waste my time
trying to work on you,
you know, improve your business skills"
You gotta do the same thing.
Family's the hardest
and most necessary
Remember, you probably have a big family
so you can pick or choose and
spend more time around
the people who pass this 123 test
And "less" time - don't mean you have to cut everybody
out completely
You don't have to ex-communicate them.
I lived with the Amish for 2 and a half years
they have something called "excommunication"
You don't always have to do that.
You do need to say
"The quality of my life
is determined by the quality of my surroundings."
(oh ... gonna get my
hair cut here)
(hey, can I do that last?)
(who do you look like?)
(who does everybody say you look like for all the YouTubers?)
(Jenna Marbles is here to cut my hair!) ["Hi!"]
(Not really. It's not Jenna
but it looks kinda like it.)
(I'll be-I'll be back in a few.)
I've got lots goin' on at
the house, and all of society headquarters,
I try to keep it active.
People say "Tai, what the hell do you do?
"So much is goin' on!" I'm like "Yep,
I don't like to be bored
or boring."
We've got a live call. If you're not
comin' on the daily live calls, you're missing out.
