WHAT UP! WHAT UP! WHAT UP! WHAT UP!
It's your boy ET!
That's right baby, bring it from the bottom.
THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY!
Aight ya, welcome to another edition of
Thank God It's Monday!
Remember what I told you,
repetition deepens the impression.
I'm a say it over and over and over in Season 10
This is the year to get it done.
This is the year to embrace our milestones.
To make it happen.
Aight ya got to do me a huge favor. Aight look,
I know I know the power One.
Trust me. Look don't get too analytical on me.
I know the power of One.
But I'm telling you
sometimes to make a milestone become a reality
you got to get it done by twos.
One of the greatest basketball players
that ever played the game. Yep Michael Jordan.
Yep Michael Jordan didn't do it alone
Come on, come on, come on.
You got when you say Mike you gotta say Scottie Pippen.
Are you hearing me?
LA LA baby. When you say Kobe Bryant
Like for real for real.
You can't go without saying when you talk about that era
you can't go without saying Shaquille O'Neal.
Are you hearing me? Sometimes yep the power of one is great.
MJ was doing his thing on the solo.
Yep. Kobe was doing his thing on the solo.
But you got to keep it 100.
When Jordan had Scottie
Magical! Magic happen.
Oh when Shaq was with Kobe
Magic happen!
And what I'm telling you is
as long as I was doing it by myself...
Yep as long as I was doing it by myself
I could never get that dissertation done.
The power of two!
No man, and I mean it
no man is an island.
And let me tell you what changed the game.
What changed the game is when I met with Dr. June.
What changed the game
is when I sat down with Dr. June,
and I had some accountability.
Can I say accountability partner.
Your problem is you doing it by yourself.
Your problem is you don't want nobody to know that you got...
I know I know you're afraid for them to see your
weaknesses.
I know you're afraid to be vulnerable.
Yep, you're afraid to tell them your dream.
Look you gotta tell somebody!
Somebody gotta hold you accountable.
I'm not telling you to tell the world
but one other person needs to know.
And one other person needs to hold you accountable.
And my life changed.
My milestone became a reality.
Listen to me. I'm giving you the Secrets To Success.
The day I told Dr. June I want to get it done
And Dr. June looked me in my face and said
Don't play with me.
Don't play with me. Are you ready?
Look not only do I have a PhD
Not only have I sat on many committees...
Listen to me very closely.
I can and will help you get through this.
But don't play with me. You gotta be serious.
And doc said all I need you to do you tell
you tell me when you want this PhD.
You tell me when you want to be finished with this dissertation.
You tell me when.
And I'll tell you what you have to do every single day.
How many pages you have to write.
How much research you have to do.
How much time you have to spend on it.
Listen to me.
It did not become a reality
It did not become real until I sat down
with Dr. June we made a commitment.
Are you hearing me?
Before it was just an idea.
Before it was just a thought.
Before it was just something I said.
But when i sat down e mano e mano.
Man to man. E mano e mano.
Man to man.
when I sat down and I made that commitment
and I shook his hand.
When I look him in his eyes
and said I'm ready to get it done!
All we did was meet every Monday!
Are you hearing me?
I know this sounds too simple.
I know it sounds too good to be true
All we did was sit down on Mondays at nine o'clock
and every single week he said
This is what you need to get done!
if you are a man and you do what you say you're gonna do,
and you make no excuses,
and you don't let nothing get in your way.
I guarantee you in a year's time,
if that's how long you want this process to take
I guarantee you we can get it done.
But what I can't do I can't do it for you.
But I can show you want it takes to make
and I didn't want there was a part of me that
I never really wanted to link up with nobody else
because I really didn't want to fully expose myself.
I didn't really
he said to me kid you've never written a dissertation before.
How would you know how to do it?
That's what I'm here for.
And when you get that life coach
That's the problem some of you
you can't get to that next level
because you're trying to do it on your own
You trying to do in your own strength
and I'm not saying there's no power in One.
Mike was murdering the game
putting up 60 something against
a Boston
Mike was dunk contest.
Mike was doing it.
But Mike never reach those milestones by himself.
He had to bring somebody else in to his sphere of influence.
So do me a favor.
I know you don't want to be vulnerable.
I know I know you don't wanna share your stuff with folks
I know but you gonna have to find somebody
By Twos never sent them out by Ones.
He always sent them out by Twos.
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Some of the greatest thing that ever happened in this world
it happen with two.
So do me a huge favor. Sit down
And think about that one person you know you can trust.
Think about that one person who
you know as an expert in that area.
Think about that one person who can compliment you.
And if you don't know
make some phone calls and asks
because if you do yourself a favor
you link up with that person.
And you do exactly what they tell you do
when they tell you to do it
and how they tell you to do it.
And I'm guaranteeing you
you will make many milestones happen this year
So it's your boy ET saying
no man is an island.
No man can do it on his own.
Are you hearing what I'm telling you?
So do me a favor. Do me a favor.
If you are still a student find that Guru.
Are you hearing what I'm saying
Listen to me. I know it's going to be tough,
but find that Guru and submit yourself to that Guru.
And by submitting yourself to that Guru
you can make the rest of your life
the best of your life.
It's your boy ET.
I'll see ya next Monday.
Think about that one person who can complement you
and if you don't know make some phone calls
and ask.
And then you do yourself a favor.
You link up with that person
and you do exactly what they tell you to do
when they tell you to do it how they tell you to do it.
And I'm guaranteeing you
you will make many milestones happen this year.
So it's your boy ET saying no man is an island.
