So you got to do me a huge favor, you gotta do me a huge favor
you got to get to the point where
You don't need a car anymore
You don't need a house anymore
you don’t need to be pushed by anybody anymore
your dreams, your why is gonna push you
your spouse is gonna push you, your child is gonna push you
the need to get better is going to push you
because you're closer than you're ever going to be, it's gonna push you
you don't need anything to push you
Your goals are gonna push you, your dreams are gonna push you.
The opportunity of a lifetime that happens in this particular time-frame
is gonna push you, is gonna drive you, is going to make you better
so do me a favor as I leave, as I leave you can't be average anymore, 70% you can’t do it
you can't do it and have what you want.
You can't give me 70 and be what you want.
You can't give me 70 and do what you want.
You can't be average anymore, you can't be good anymore, 80%.
You can't be good anymore 80% and have what you want
You can't be good at something and have everything you dreamed of.
To make your dreams become real, to no longer dream but walk in them, you can't
90% you can be good, you can be good, you can be great
But you still won’t get it all, I'm telling you
when you become phenomenal
There's nothing you can't have, nothing you can't do, nothing you can't be
and I just, I believe that you're in this room right now
I believe that we're in the same space right now.
I believe we're all in this place together, listen to me
I believe that we're all in this place together
Because all of us, all of us ain’t average, none of us wanna be good
And for those of us who reach greatness, we have a desire
So push past greatness and see what phenomenal looks like.
So I need everybody in the room when you think about your goal, and you think about your dream
I need you to understand just as I said to my wife in that hospital room
I can
I will
I must
I need everybody to say it with me
I can
I will
I must, come on
I can
I will
I must, again
I can
I will
I must
now for those of you who want it all,
every single dream, every single goal
as I say it for those of you who really want it
you-you're going to say it
and you're gonna say it-stand and you're gonna say it like you mean it.
I can
I will
I must
come on
I can, I will, I must, come on
I can, I will, I must
now say like you mean it
I can, I will, I must, again
I can, I will, I must
Now I need you to think about that loved one
that- that- that- that individual that you have to do this for
I need you to say it with me.
I can, I will, I must, come on for that individual
I can, I will, I must, for that person
I can, I will, I must, for that thing you want to accomplish
I can, I will, I must, again
I can, I will, I must
Now I want you to think about that hurdle
I want you to think about that thing that keeps pressing you down
I want you to think about that- that mountain that's hard to climb.
I want you to think about that thing that you just can't seem to get over
we're gonna get over it today, we're gonna get over it
we're gonna get over it together
I can, I will, I must
and we're gonna add to it
I can get over it
I will get over it
I must get over it, ready!
I can get over it
I will get over it
I must, come on come on
I can get over it
I will get over it
I must get over it
I know something about you, I know you're not a quitter
I know you're a survivor, I know you're a survivor.
You're watching me right now and I know something about you
you are a survivor so I want you to get off this, I want you to cut it off
I want you to go in the mirror, I want you to make the rest of your life the best of your life
I CAN
I WILL
I MUST
it's your boy ET

I don't care what you've been through, I don't care who you are
I don't care where you came from, I don't care what your past is like
I don't care what your stress is like, I don't care what stress you're under
I don't care what problems you have right now
I don't care what you don't have right now.
All I care about is what your mindset is like in terms of today and your future.
Are you going to make today count because that's all you can control
and that's all that matters.
It doesn't matter where you start guys
It doesn't matter what talents you're born with
it's about where you finish and this race isn't over.
It's not over. You could still come in first in the marathon
but you gotta start today, you gotta start now.
You have everything, you have everything you need is inside you.
It doesn't matter what you don't have now because you can go get it
but it starts today.
It starts with a commitment, starts with a principle
it starts with the discipline, it starts with effort
it starts with energy, it starts with an idea
that you're gonna make today count
and a lot of people want to know what my routine is like
Well, it's predicated on that idea that I'm going to make today count
and that means that before everyone is up
I'm going to have entered a peak state already.
I'm here to help you
but you have to help yourself.
No one is going to do it for you in terms of the action
But you got to say something with me.
I'm going to make this thing work, I'm going to live out my dreams.
I'm going to live out my purpose, I'm going to be who I was destined to be.
I'm going to fulfill all of the tasks necessary to live out that purpose
to become who I really want to be.
Not to be who I am shackled by in the past
Not to live in a world of constraint.
How do you stay driven?
I'm gonna ask you a question, how don't you stay driven?
If you're so ambitious, show me.
If you wanna be an anomaly, you have to act like one
I don't care about tomorrow.
I care about 36 months from now, 52 months from now, 83 months from now
What can you do from Friday 5 p.m., until Monday 7 a.m.?
I'm just curious, like and I don't think you shouldn't have a weekend.
But I think everybody's ambition
actually is more predicated on their actions than their words.
My friends tell me all the time they're so ambitious
and I'm like if that's true
then you punt leisure and you punt concerts at Jones Beach and you work.
you can't believe how many people
you know how many people used to say the word luck, that- that word luck
has gone right back like nobody has the audacity to say that to my face now
and I love it.
And that's why I did it, I did it, I made it for you because you can watch and be like OK
But I think yours is different, I think a lot of theirs is different.
It's because I'm not fancy about it
Document over Create.
I'm super not interested in being fancy.
I'm willing to work
I work harder than everybody in this room
and I swear on my life, I'm positive
because you can only tie me
and so, I'm just not fancy
like I'm gonna win and I'm gonna continue to win, and I'm gonna be real big
And I'm never gonna forget what I'm about
and I like getting my hands dirty and I'll answer that email
And I'll stop and have that conversation and I'll take that pitch
and I do unscalable, not the right use of my time stuff
50% of my day, every day for the rest of my life cause I love the dirt
I love the grind, I'll never get fancy, I don't like fancy
and so that's important to me.
The second you think you've won, somebody's gonna create.
That's so real, that- you know a lot of these cliches and stereotypes, they’re real
There is no loss in going for it.
That, yeah, you might get made fun of and you might have it in your own mind but
I punted every leisure activity in my life
Nothing, no weekends, no vacations, zero, nothing.
Nothing, it's my truth, I didn't take a single vacation day
never, none, zero, zero, zero.
All my high school friends? Gone because I wasn't around
all my college friends, post college? Gone
girlfriends, nothing, all in.
So what did I do? I worked
I worked to such an extreme level.
I'm going for it, I'm hustling from 6 to 11 p.m. every day with every second allocated.
There is no break, there's no, there no eat a salad and read Reddit or watch YouTube
that- that is not in my game
Getting your hands dirty under your fingernails, it's the game.
The young are the future
And if you notice trends like “oh they don't use email”
you can learn from them or they're watching a lot of YouTube.
So the two biggest things are stop being soft
and start actually working and getting your hands dirty in the thing that you love.
And number two pay attention to trends around your friends.
People aren't starting
they're just not making
they're thinking, they're pondering they're strategizing, they're debating
I'm just doing at all times
I actually would tell you, I fascinate sometimes over losing everything
and then having like you guys write articles like
“see he wasn't that good, he was so foolish”
and then rising like a phoenix and being like 'screw you!'
because you need to be a practitioner to be good at what you do
I don't wanna be a social media guru that reads a headline from somebody else's tweet.
I know everything things that Musical.ly, Snapchat, Vine, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram does
period and I sit with all these gurus that sell books too
and all these social media experts and corporations and startups
I sit with Facebook and Instagram in meetings where their executives are wrong.
like I'm a practitioner, I really know my stuff
and that's important. If you wanna win you have to be able to do that
and way too many people lose that, they forget what gets them there
and they're not keeping up with it, and the thing that I do for a living is hard
because these platforms are changing every day, every second
and a lot of things change and the things that were tried and true a week ago change
and in that arbitrage, in your headline reading, I make money.
If you're complaining, like look if you, if you're happy
and you've got student loans and you've got mortgages and you work two jobs
but you're happy, good
The problem is there's so many millions of people just sitting around complaining
and then they go play Madden for four hours.
You have to deal with the reality of the situation
Dwelling and pondering and crying doesn't do anything
and it especially doesn't do anything in this Eco chamber, in this arena, there is no crying.
you can cry, you're just gonna lose
and I have bad news about complaining and crying
Let me tell you something about complaining and crying
that's really, really gonna hurt for all you complainers out there.
nobody cares.
You have a packed day, 15 hour day, it got canceled, what are you doing in that 15 minutes?
And by the way, sometimes those 15 minutes are absolutely worth
calling your mum, calling your daughter, face time with your kids
Please just make every minute count
Every minute has to count
If you want so much because you just don't have as many of them as you think
You just don’t
This is a matter of life and death, I don't know who told y'all
I don't know who told y'all this was about math this was about English, this was about science, right
and y'all are thinking why do I need math to blow up? why do I need English to blow up?
look this is not about, this is not about what you think it is.
This is life and death
School is about setting a foundation, are you hearing what I'm telling you?
So I need you to try, I need you to try to read every single word
if you don't know it, write it down and look it up
I need you to try to do every single assignment.
I need you to try to go to every single class.
I just need you to try because I know something about you.
I know something about you
I know when you put forth 120% effort there ain't nothing you can’t do
there ain't nothing you can't accomplish
I don't want you to live to die anymore
I want you to die to live because I know if you try
I know if you put forth 120% effort, there ain't nothing you can't do
But live in a world of freedom and that's yours to have
That's a choice that you can make
That's a decision that you could follow through on, that you can carry out
You gotta wanna make this thing work for you
you gotta make today count.
What are you doing with your time?
Are you wasting it?
Are you going to make today count because it's precious
or are you gonna let it just slip away?
Let it fade.
You need to be in a peak state at all times
That's gonna be predicated on your will
your intensity, your integrity, your character, your energy, your effort
to get what you want out of this life.
It's on you
I want you to get off this, I want you to cut it off.
I want you to go in the mirror and
I want you to make the rest of your life the best of your life
I CAN
I WILL
I MUST
It's your boy ET
