The first $20,000 check I got you know what I did with it I bought a
motherfucking Oddie that's what I did I went on Craigslist
and I looked at used cards and I said I want to get it convertible cuz I'm a
boss now and that's what bosses do so I found a convertible it's an audio
for Cabriolet beige exterior beige interior top like drop tile is beautiful
it was just about $20,000 that's what I had so what I did call it the guy I said
hey I want to drive this car in my mind I was buying this car there was no sale
I was positive I was buying so you know please him I took like a ride for like
five minutes with date and I was alright dude we could stop right now like here's
the check I took the 20 grand I just made endorsed it gave it to him
bought the car alright it was like a fucking Paul Wall song right like went
to the went to the lot bought a drop that's what I did so now I have an audio
a fork a biro a I'm 20 years old making 20 grand a month at Michigan State with
something and I'm driving around campus blasting the loudest Rick Ross music I
possibly can because you're not a boss if everyone doesn't know it and what's
Rick Ross's favorite word yeah that's Rick Ross and then I was
like well if I'm a boss with the fuck am i living in this shitty apartment for it
on campus so I went and I found a penthouse in San Diego why would I move
from fucking beef Lansing Michigan to San Diego who'd want to do that everyone
right so that's what I did in a matter of two weeks from the idea I was living
in San Diego in that penthouse I was fucking around the whole time and a
couple years later I had no business left and no money left and I had my rent
to pay or I had my tax bill to pay I had to choose I could not pay both who here
hasn't ever had to make that same choice raise your hand if you have to make that
same choice sometimes even now in your life which bill do I pay for it yeah
doesn't feel good I chose to pay Uncle Sam cuz I'll fuck with a lot of people I
don't fuck with that guy he's got he's got like resources and shit
so I got kicked out of my apartment and I had to move back home into my parents
basement and here was the problem as I was there in that apartment smoking all
that weed in that pan out smoking all that weed I was lying to myself I would
lie to myself about how much money my business made that day to make myself
feel better it used to make five six hundred dollars a day it would make a
hundred and twenty two dollars in one day and I just pretend like no it's like
four hundred I would round up very liberally I would round up but I did
this for months just lying to myself about what was
really going on who here hasn't ever lied to yourself about what's really
going on in your life maybe it was your money maybe it was a relationship you
tell yourself the relationship is going better than it is
maybe you tell yourself that you're not being that unhealthy you don't skip that
many workouts we lie to ourselves you wanted the problem with that is if
we're not being honest with ourselves truly fucking honest with ourselves
about where we are at then we have no leverage on ourselves
what does leverage mean Archimedes said give me a lever lever long enough and I
can move the world he meant with my hands I can't pick up the rule to move
it but if you give me a lever long enough and I can get it in there
leverage a lever I can move the world if we're not honest with ourselves about
what's really going on we can't get leverage on ourselves because we're not
being honest about what's good and what's fucked up does that make sense
yes or no how do we get leverage on ourselves two words you might want to
write these down radical honesty it's that painful acceptance will be
painfully accept that hey my business really isn't making this much money if I
had just painfully accepted that months before I may have not had to go through
that whole thing of going broke and moving back into my mom's basement and
having to tell all my friends that I fucked up and I failed I'll tell you
someone else who was radically honest with themselves all right so
while we are you here
everyone say hi Wally yeah clapping doesn't even know why you will but I'll
tell you first why are you clapping okay Wally is amazing all right Wally is one
of my mentees one of my students and a few months ago while they joined my
program and Wally was honest with himself he wasn't he he did not want to
take the normal route have a normal life like all his friends in his family
wanted him to he wanted to do something different he didn't lie to himself about
it how many of us lie to ourselves about what's really going on he refused to do
that he stopped it he accepted the pain and he said I'm gonna learn a skill I'm
gonna make something happen Jason coached me and I did and a few months
later Wally is literally you can see it here he posted our Facebook group all
the time he is stacking check after check after check after check in January
this month not even over yet he just had his first $10,000 a month from his
laptop and it might even be more now can we applaud that real quick
I see stories like that and I it just consistently validates what I already
know we have to be radically honest about where we're really truly at and
the way to get leverage on ourselves Wally has leverage on himself if that
had been you a few months ago who was radically honest with yourself instead
of Wally maybe that would be you on the screen right now Abraham Lincoln used to
say if you kind of tale as a leg on a dog how many legs does a dog have five
he says no for it because toiling up calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a
leg it's still a fucking tail right putting lipstick on a pig does it make
it attractive it's still a fucking pig you have to be honest with ourselves so
I want everyone stand up real quick now I want you in a second to sit down only
if you are completely free and crushing it in every area of your life including
your income your freedom and your relationships if you are truly doing
that sit down not a single person in this room sat down including myself I'm
still standing too so here's what I want us to do right now because we're being
fucking honest with ourselves right now aren't we I want us to in a moment sit
down and I want you answer this one question in your journal all right we're
gonna do some work right now you can answer this question how do I know I am
not totally free in my life yet got it all right please sit down let's answer
that question the early last year I was in Tokyo with Natalie we went to Japan
we're visiting around and we're staying at the Four Seasons and if you've never
been in the Four Seasons then you wouldn't know the breakfast buffet and
what it's like who here's our out of Four Seasons breakfast buffet please
raise your hand the Four Seasons breakfast buffet is the greatest freakin
food experience you've ever had in your life
it is the best of the best not only every food the food is the highest
quality it's just unlike when you go on vacation you're at the Four Seasons the
PHA is the highlight of the vacation that's what you're like looking forward
to it's that good so I'm there and we're having breakfast there and I go to the
section where there's like rolls like bread and I'm waiting in line there's a
guy in front of me right and he's got his tongs tongs to get the roll and he's
going to grab book bread and as he picks up the tongue he picks it up there's
like a roll already stuck to it so he shakes it right doesn't fall off shakes
it again so was involved so the third time this role is stronger than four it
will not fall off so here's what the guy does I'm watching this by the way cuz
I'm studying like I'm observing all the time looking at this he goes and puts
the role in his play and accepts the role that was hinted to him and I'm
sitting back there and I'm like holy fuck that's it that's that's life that
that's it that's that's the thing that's what everyone's doing so I grab those
fucking tongs I shake the shit out of them clean them off completely
I picked the role I want okay because I will not settle for a shitty role
I will not okay however I have settled in my life at times about a year ago I
felt like I was settling in my passion in my life who has ever felt like you
were lacking passion in your life please raise your hand yes how many of us have
felt that it's a terrible feeling isn't it because when you don't have passion
in your heart you feel dead inside it's a terrible place I felt that way I felt
that way so I joined this group I joined this mastermind group with this guy
named taki Moore all right this Australian guys it's crazy all sterling
out first time I talked to him on a call he teaches me an Australian word it's
called frog Sean you know that word yeah it's pure full it's a surfer word I
use it all it sounds great I love the word right
but taki did something else for me I go to the first event that we have it was
in Los Angeles and at this event he brought in these really really
impressive mentors that one of them was this guy named Alex Hermosa who runs
this company it's called gym lunch and gym lunch has gone
from zero to over fifty million dollars in 21 months and it wasn't so much the
strategies he was showing me as it was the person who was showing me the
strategies it was him it wasn't the strategies it was him he had passion
like I hadn't seen in a long fucking time for what he did and that fire lit
my candle it gave me that passion back a few months ago I had a mastermind at
Newport Beach I invite some of my friends sometimes we do a private
mastermind Dan lock comes Brandon Carter was there kevin hoto was a media buyer
he'll be here tomorrow he was there and Elliott Hulse was that raise your hand
if you know Elliott Hulse Yeah right we love Elliott on TV a block all right
Elliott has been a close friend of mine for almost 11 years and Elliott's at the
mastermind and all of us at this mastermind like you'll see at
masterminds people are so fucking passionate it's unbelievable the energy
in the room but Elliott was very quiet and this is mrs. Elliott's thing he
changed his characters like I changed outfits at the summer you never know
what's coming with him but we're all going crazy he's just sitting there like
a monk probably not like a monk I think he is a monk but just sitting there and
that's about three hours he perks up he starts to light up he starts asking
these questions he starts like drawing things and taking notes and by the end
of the second day the mastermind he is a changed man and I've talked to him a
couple weeks later he goes Jason I want to thank you that mastermind woke me up
I was like Elliot what the fuck have you been doing for the last four years
because he's been doing nothing he was like what have I been doing been wasting
all this fucking time what I've been doing and ever since then he's been
making all these videos creating all these grounding camps he is on fire now
and I don't take credit for that it was because he was put in a new environment
where there was passion where people weren't settling had Elliot been
settling in his own life before yes he was put in an environment where people
weren't settling and what happened it lit him the fuck up
