you are, who you are? Let me be
real, clear
Everybody has a way of being in this world. You do
I do the guy. Next to you, does a woman at the store? Does the woman you work with? Does everybody has a way of being in this world
everybody's older for its true. We are like snowflakes everybody's different.
everybody makes a statement
I do a lot of speeches
around the country allowed alive presentations in it's the same thing. What I'm doing
to fill
I always like to look at the audience
and kind see who I'm talking to
You know it's really interesting because peace
well really differently, even
might be a week in spain.
Your seminar I'm doing
at a resort here: ok,
this guy he's all buttoned peace got on sport coat and a tie, and

He woke up five minutes before he got there delving laundry basket jumped out.
Thing is wrinkle, barely dressed and says: hey here I am, I'm laid back. Let's go see the bald guy mike
completely different statements. How bout you
What is the statement you make.
Look in the mirror and
ask yourself: what do
you communicate just by the way you presented
people come in a room like a house of fire they both
the double doors, knock em back into the wall they come in and make a noise like a whirling dervish did the centre of attention that is right in the middle of everything
people. That is,
Fifty and like a cool breeze in there just over by the side, stand against the wall taken everything in
is one way right and the other way wrong. No.
neither way right or wrong!
everybody has their own way of being in the world
main thing is that you know what your projecting watch
image. What are you putting out, and is it what you want to put out come up
people watcher. You probably guess that by what I do, but I'm a people watch her
ever forget one time J was with me. We were travelling in new york and
flying out of le Guardia back to dallas, and that
at the end of one concourse way at the end of this is back before nine eleven. So anyway,
they could get on the concourse down by the gates.
as usual on a friday night, everything is delayed. Its snowing outside this is stacked up
and I swear to god. You look on his concourse. It looks like the bar seen in star wars, others
all kinds of creatures out there looking around, and so he inherited a standing over to the side and were watching people and we're looking
this one guy, say J, a look at this girl here, this guy
was grey. He
gray hair,
he had a gray suit
You on a gray shirt had on a great time he had on gray shoes, his
and was grey. His briefcase
was grey. This guy
grey? He looks.
dont, not barney. Five from the Andy gryphus show I mean look like you ve thumped him. He would fall down
standing there kind of hunched over against the wall.
all of a sudden down the concourse here come three guys their marching, goose, stepping down their lockstep
Guys I've got on leather jackets. They ve got everything you can possibly pierce on your body pierced. They got chains going from their nose to their ears. They got,
two's everywhere they got mohawks may in their heads or tattooed they're coming
Creating hey? We are bad due to their stop and down push people out of the way
what happens then.
catch? Barney lookin there?
here too, though, mister grey looking at him and they turned on him there twice his size
They were alone here, but they go over there. And what are you looking at
I usually mine, my own business, but.
Now wait a minute. What do you know why I said that? That's not true! I don't always my my own business, but I sure didn't this night there over their bullion this guy. What are you looking at?
I couldn't help myself, I would over there is it. What do you mean? What's he look at me? Look at algeria freaks. What are you
Where did you get up this morning and put all these change in your nose in your ears because you are to be under the right or are
you're kidding me. You do all this, so people will look at you so he's looking at you so tell it walk and jerks. Now about that time
I hear on the Erika crowed favoured undergone gorse goad Servadac Jacob lower sit there there paging you again
god here come security, but look here's the point
you make a statement on it.
I don't care of these guys
chain coming out of their brain, but if
You do on it
Have a statement that you may
and criticise people for reacting to your statement
if you go to work and you are authoritarian and new order, everybody around and you act like your king kong, so everybody treat you like
a cop or everybody treat you like you're the school principle. Then
I'll get upset because nobody wants to go, have lunch with you
in your statement,
and if you don't like your statement, then change your statement,
I ask you to think about
what you do, but who you are
how you got to be there?
The time you were born, people have been riding on a slight of who you are
the way you were treated as you were a child, what you
experiences were in school. Did you succeed or fail academically, athletic least socially? What role you had in your family? Were you the clown? Were you the perfect kid? Were you the black sheep, on whatever people have written on a slight of who you are that have determined who you become
I always say to parents, we're not raising children.
we are raising adults
and when you were five years old, your parents were raising the adult. You have become today many
People say that personalities are formed by the time, your five six seven years old others.
search, your say that continues on into your thirties boy
Certainly every
of your life.
Everywhere along the way
People are riding on the slate of who you are, and so that's who you are sitting in that chair today
a personal truth. You have said
machu make I'm just
asking you to evaluate this
date? When you make asked you
Is this the one you want to make
and then own it here
A good way to give yourself a test.
ask yourself honestly what you think people say about you when you were not around
what they say to your face
what they say when you're not around.
Give yourself a enough credit.
to be big enough to think about what people say when you walk away. Do they say
that's a really nice person. I really like her. I really like him, or they are insufferable, give yourself enough credit,
to consider what kind of statement you're making
and remember a lot
what you communicate is non verbal.
It's been said that seven percent of all communication is very
And the rest is nonverbal,
true
If all your saying is hello.
Then the more you talk. The last is nonverbal anymore is verbal. You have to learn.
Get your words, do you say,
aggressive, laid or young people space to you by late, their personal space,
ask yourself what statement you make an inn.
Ask yourself whether or not there
What you want to make, but either way you have
to own it
No mistake
kids are pay,
attention to the statement that you make
we always say, you know, kids, don't listen! These days.
Maybe they don't listen, but
always watching for when you,
your frontline to feel more. Like a welcome that the new cambodia's
Two hundred has built a cut like a proud to cut quickly, to turn on a dime to control with effortless precision and its bill to get the job done right, fast, cut, composed of quality, affordable price. The new borders z, two hundred visit, your local cambodia dealer today,
computer generated on the web, capone chattanooga, dot com.
They may roll their eyes, they may look away, but make no mistake. Your kids are watching their watching what kind of statement you make and it may not be what you think they're watching. Let me give you an example: the most him
Horton role model in a child's life is the same sex parent, a close
second is the other sex parent
You may think. Ok, then, if I cursing yell, holler and fight, then ok, I mean about roma. No, it's not!
just that,
This example,
let's say you go to work every day,
In every day you come home,
and your moaning and groaning and say: oh, my god, I'm so tired. I hate that job. What
communicating to your kids
communicating that what you do in life. Is you grow up and sell out you
up and go do something you do not want to do for someone you do not want to do it. For
and sell out your life and weeks turn into months months, turn into years years, turn into a lifetime and
teaching them that's what's in their future,.
And then you're going to expect them to grow up and be unique individuals that fight for what they believe in. I don't think so.
ask yourself.
If you're doing what you don't want to do,
coming home in complaining about it. Every day is teaching your children to grow up and do what they don't want to do and complain about it every day. So.
said. Last time I was gonna talk to you about the cork,
characteristics of a champion and I'm gonna do that. But first
I want you to do
something for me.
We want you to agree to
put yourself
and your family on
but I call project status.
Projects status. Now, let me tell you what I mean when I say to put yourself and your family on projects status. Let's say
you're sitting around watching tv
and you have an awareness,
you need to clean out the garage and pain it? Ok,
doing anything about it, but you,
God unawareness,
you need to do it. What are you
The chances are of that garage getting painted yeah, not much
but let's say your listing your house for sale and they are going to come and take pictures monday morning and it's friday at noon.
now, what are the chances that garage is going to get cleaned out and those walls are going to get painted pretty damn good? You know why cause it becomes a project with a deadline. It becomes
project with a deadline and
put it on projects status? That means you push everything else out of the way that moves to the top of the priority list, its on profit.
ec status and things start to happen,
I tell you that to tell you, this is
who are fully satisfied with who you are or where you are. If you
fully satisfied with your marriage, your family, your career,
Here, the amount of money you're, making the amount of money or saving the condition urine how much weight you're carrying gonna help you have it's not
gonna change until you put it on projects status. Now
they explain something that I think
is it really important before we get to the core,
characteristics of a champion and when
we get to the core characteristics of a champion. I'm gonna be telling you what I have learned across time and you're going to be hearing some quotes from some real champions. I'm tired,
Can Charles barkley Emmett smith, bill, Bela, check, shaquille, o neill and not
just athlete. You're gonna be hearing from like wrong. Why or the most successful comedians in a whirl steve harvey one of the most successful television personalities in the world,
vince lombardy, one of the great
this legacies in the history of football, Michael Jordan, mohammed ali co,
Brian derek cheater, Billy, jean king, I'm gonna be giving you some insight from some of the biggest champions in
history of our country, but otto
I tell you that
unless you're willing to put yourself on price
extent, status.
because if you are not willing to put yourself on projects status and all you gotta do is just have an awareness,
in my breath in your time and I don't want to do either one of those things. So when I
put yourself on projects status, I mean you ve.
to say.
I am going to set some goals
I'm going to put them on a timeline
I am going to commit to change?
Now there are four stages of readiness that I want you to understand. Before we go forward,
more stages of readiness
stage one
Is when you,
are going to commit to a change
because it has been assigned by authority?
Am I talking about here? Let's say you get in trouble, so you
the court, may give you court, ordered anger, management,
court ordered rehab for drunk driving. What do you think
chances are that somebody's gonna really make a change when they go
the therapy, because the court says they have to and no other reason about zero,
whatever money they spend on these court, ordered programmes
They might as well put him in a paper. Shredder. Take that money.
In a paper shredder bag it up and sell it for confetti, at least they would get some money out of it, because it's absolutely worthless those people.
are going because they are compelled to go and absolutely no change is gonna. Take place, stages,
This number two is where
you're making a change because somebody else wants you to,
you don't really want to do your. Why, for your husband, you parents, you friends, they
Want you to do it, so you do it just please them. You know I disagree.
him off your back. You don't really believe it. You don't really want it, but a year of shots them up fine I'll. Do it
and what's a chance of meaningful change,
I more than making confetti but not much.
Readiness for change stage number three is when you intellectually know that you need to do it, you, don't
feel it, but at least in your mind, you know: hey this
not smart smoke.
It kills you. I know that I need to stop in my mind. I know, and I don't feel it I want to keep smoking. I want to keep drinking. I want to keep doing whatever I'm doing, but at the
least in my mind. I know its not smart,
really emotionally there, but at least I'm smart enough to know
what I'm doing is not right
sometimes intellect will take over and your white knuckle empower yourself through. So there's some chance for change.
but real change happens.
In stage number four.
Stage number four is when mentally and emotionally you are ready for change.
Stage four is when you can look yourself in a mere and say I will not take this for myself, another minute of another hour of another day,
care how scary it is on the other side,
Face that fear, instead of take this from myself for another second, I am sick to death of this I'm going to throw up. If I do this another day, I'm not taking this for myself, I am going to change that
you put yourself on projects status. That's when you take what I'm getting ready to tell you that's when you make the most of it. That's when you make a change not before
so you have some work to do if you're going to maximize what I'm getting ready to tell you, I want you to put your self and or your family. What ever your focus is on profit.
Ec status, I do not want you sitting on the couch,
Having an awareness that you need to change, I don't want to talk to
people would have an awareness of the need to change. I want to talk to people that put themselves or their families on projects status now
if you want to have a phenomenal family
how to create some factors and I'm gonna list those for you on the website number one you gotta have a nurturing and accepting family system
care? What kind of legacy you had? I don't care. What gonna family you grew up in
you are the adult. Now you get to decide what kind of family system you have and you have to go
a family system that nurtures every family member and makes
Every family member feel accepted
The number one need and all people is acceptance. The number one fear and all people is rejection, and if you don't feel acceptance in your own family, then,
people are riding on the slate of those family members with a real ugly pan when you state
though, vacation home, the hosts doesn't stay with you. So
When you share and inside joke son, scream or couch, it will only be with people. You want to be there, because without privacy in your vacation home it isn't really a vacation. Is it only whole vacation homes
always private book on the verbal app, you need a family units that nurtures everybody in the family, except everybody in the family. Everybody wants to have a sense of belonging. Everybody wants to feel like if they don't show up somewhere
There's somebody in this world that will miss them.
There's somebody in this world that will care there, somebody in this world it will be checking to find out. Why they're, not whether supposed to be you want,
a family system that nurtures them.
Makes them feel good about who they are and accepts them as part of the family, and there is a role for every member of the family factor,
Number two is that the family
has a rhythm.
versus chaos.
and by rhythm I mean there's a pattern to the family. It's predictable.
That doesn't mean there's an absence of spontaneity, but there's a rhythm to it. They just know that hey
we go to bed at a certain time. We get up at a certain time. We have meals at a certain time. We react.
Two things were there's a certain rhythm to the family and is a very calming rhythm. We can depend on it. We rely on it, it's very important
children grow up in a family where there is a certain rhythm there's, a certain flow.
Back your number three. There are active
communications
we tell you how to do that.
You're a parent
We want you to spend time talking to your children, about things that do not matter.
I didn't miss spake ice.
I want you to spend time talking to your children, about things that do not matter why
because it's great practice for when you need to talk to them about things that do matter.
four watch, these hospital shows on tv. What's the first thing they say when they roll somebody into the e r.
Started ivy with ringers lacked eight.
Do you ever wonder what that was
sugar, water.
It has absolutely nothing yet either. No antibiotics there's no pain. Medication, there's never get it. What are they doing their getting it
Open vein,
so when they figure out what they do need theirs,
open vain, so they can easily flow into it. What the patient needs that
what happens when you open channels of communication by talking to your children, about things that don't matter, it's not threatening
it's easy
And then, when something comes up that does matter, you ve got
an open vain. You,
flow right into. It is not the first time you ve ever gone out and tried to talk to one in your kids and are they going to thales? Is all about talk to
your children about things it don't matter so there's an open line of communication when things do matter number four.
You need to create rituals,
traditions?
These are things that have to do with birthdays, thang,
Giving christmas bedtime bedtime rituals
Things that your children will remember? Thirty and forty years from now Joe,
always open your presence on christmas eve. Did you go to mass on christmas eve? Did you have burst
a parties where there was always a candle and it was just the family did
you have certain things you did at bedtime. Did you two
the tv off and start calming down before it was bedtime.
Always told my boys story right before they went to bed and it
always a story about them
I told him a story and they were in the story.
and they always used to listen to figure out. How am I gonna be in this story?
I'll be telling a story than all of a sudden j?
or Jordan was in the story and they were doing something. They always listened for that
both of those boys grew up from the time
were two three four five years old, getting told a story that they start in every night before they went to bed?
a big deal, but it was just a tradition. It was a ritual that they grew up with
I will tell you to this day that aid
heard these stores. Sometimes they were funny. Sometimes they were serious. Sometimes there is a matter of fact, but they were always in the story
create little rituals and traditions for your family
the fifth thing is you
got to have crisis management.
every member of your family knows that
when a crisis arises.
There's no judgment. There is no
punishment. Theirs,
problem. The crime
this gets managed that
ray family member becomes a resource. They know
problems arise there.
primary unit,
their family.
and they need to know that and learn that, and you need to make that the case no matter what.
you have your daughter. All of a sudden is pregnant at fourteen. She needs to know,
my family, will rally around me we'll deal with it later, but right now I know I have a place to go.
your child is getting bullied at school. They need to know. I have a place to go. I'm not gonna be left twisting and the to deal with this on my own.
Have resources in my family? I'm not
weird and I'm accepted. We have active
Communication and my family is a resource for me.
The I'm going, have all of those things on the website, because
if you're going to change your family, it has to be on projects status,
If you do that, you have a
they start you have a formula to pursue.
What you need if you're gonna put it on projects status, you can't just make it up as you go along.
Now, let's talk about you,
I said we were gonna talk about
A lot of people that had
put themselves on projects status, and I said I was gonna, give you what I call the core characteristics of a champion hears,
exciting part about this
studied winning,
I've studied motivation, absent,
the championships.
All my life. I've studied
champions, all my life. I told you last time I ve been doing it since I was twelve years old. I focused on
people do what they do and don't do what they dont do.
and here's some really good news
cross time. I've studied dozens and dozens and dozens of case studies of success.
And here's what I found out there
There are certain factors, certain
characteristics of every champ
I've ever studied there there
every time there
There are some of the time there there.
Every single time,
I started out with a big list, but I
they kept the factors that were there every single time.
If that was there half the time and not have the time I threw it out, I just kept
the factors on the list that were there,
every single time? And I,
put it down to a list of seven, the seven core carry
to risks of a champion and the good news is not only
are those things identifiable?
Those seven things are doable by regular people.
People like you and me, we don't
to be world champion scares or world champion scientists. Researchers, these!
are things that are doable by regular people like you and me, and I'm gonna give you some illustrations now
I'm kind of heavy on athletes here, because I grew up in an athletic world, and so I paid particular attention to those but
play you some quotes from some people and tell you why they mean something to me. I was too
can the Charles bartley not
long ago. Listen to this quote that he had to say when I ask what motivated him to be one of that
top five rebounds in the history of the nba. I was actually giving him a little bit because I said a you're: not the
the specimen but yet you're, one of the greatest re boundaries.
How did you make that happen?
Here's what he said
Why? Because I have success as a freshman
the salad as you see a rebounded, but three years.
And one of my coaches, that you know if you get ten rebounds a night. We like the n b a right now, I think, that's probably Alice Sebold, a guy that was in ten rebounds a game right. He says he
if you get ten rebounds, I saw you don't be an mba. Am I there's going be my specialty?
I'm all get me at least every bow the night,
think about what he just said, some
he told him
formula for success. They said you
ten rebounds or not you're gonna be an n b, a.
Here is a definition of success. You do this, you get that
and he nail that down. He said that is my ticket right there,
can do that. I got some specific I can do here.
A clear definition of success,
Other podcast. I was talking to emit smith the number one rushing champion in the history of the unifil, listen to what he said
The foundation of of sports
the one thing that I lean on the mouse. I think
the thing that, as help shape,
and god me and give me the discipline and a focus
that I need and that I need
to be come. While it was my way out of the neighborhood.
What you just heard, Emmett say was,
What motivated him
And if he had a strategy to change his station in life, he put
station in life on price
jack status,
he had himself a strategy for getting out here.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
projects I want out,
So he had a strategy and he knew what it was. Here's another quote from it:
I do believe tumor.
given what is required right now.
What's the matter before as a mud before whale as owed to me out to start taken thee
Take it on this that this this mantra light
the larger the crowd, the more I wanted to perform. I wanted to give them.
Came the sea, and so I want to
a talent to stand out on a football field like no other I want
People walk away is a man. I just think I just saw something very, very special.
Important because the more
I looked at it this way, the more I performed at my best, the more everyone else would probably perform at their best and the more chance more opportunities. We will have to not only win games but pass even when Jimmy ships to
wow.
you just had
a glimpse into the heart of a champion.
And what did you hear? You heard passion you?
that he takes action towards unknown outcome,
you heard what he is saying to himself in his mind when
he's pursuing something
What do you say to yourself? He
taking action towards unknown outcome and he
very passionate about it. Then
as though that wasn't enough he
the following items
to visualize the entire again be,
for the game he was playing at
do visualize the play cause when I
The ball: what was going on woman deep, is a sad about where the gas was coming from a chatting free is pitch,
this movie in my mind, in terms of what
was goin to do
What I was going to see
and how I was born to respond now. I've taught
about the importance of knowing what success was
good grief talk about being specific.
Playing a movie in his mind of what success is gonna look like feel like, so
visionary and
that's present in every champion. I've ever studied, never
ever did he shy from the challenge list
this
and so, but having the experience of being in games that are very, very meaningful
to you as an individual blair and to you as a team is asked
the paramount to your life experiences. I think at all pays it pays itself
or what end backwards. It gives you the opportunity to appreciate certain banks.
you ve, heard the old saying pressure is privilege he
telling you
matters that you are in situations that are meaningful, that huh
a consequence, he did
want to be in a comfort zone. He wanted the ball. He wanted to take risks champ.
and take risks chain.
and get in the game of life. They get in a game of football and when they do, they want to be in a pressure positions. They
don't shy from centre stage. They say put me in coach gimme. The ball
listen to what shaquille o neill had to say. I was
raised by a disciplinarian father, philip Harrison was a drill sergeant in the army. So when he met my mother- and I had to start early give me the bottle
I'll. Tell you jus, I thank him.
a vague or malta.
It was very hard on me, but it's not something that I dwell on now, so he was too hard on me. I'm glad he did it
as I look at a lot of guys in my position. They have no discipline to have no drive
there are no values, so he
he put down to me right away, as I was saying that at the recent gimme the bottle,
You hear what you say, and this is about being lazy. This is about requiring the most out of yourself. This isn't about a comfort zone. This is saying I didn't want the easy road I wanted the demanding road I wanted to require a lot out of myself. I
myself on projects status, my father put,
on projects status and I didn't bucket. I embraced it
and now, when I got into the league, I realized I had an edge on everybody else. You are too
to the beginning of part one and said I wanted you to be someone got it. What did I want you to get? I wanted you to have an edge on the rest of the world.
This was shacks edge. He was discipline from a very early age. He required a lot of himself champions. Do that
don't look for the cushy road. They dont look for the easy way out,
what motivated him? Listen to what he says about motivation, because
the number was a factor,
I grew up with nothing and then all this boy,
tough, his mind, a boy.
Let me get anything.
you know, yours gotta take care of yoga taken. So when I'm life,
five million a year.
You damn a house on your blog. I was just out without us so factor for me at all,
mother mother engineer, I can't be there already.
If I write this essay, I can get an engineer that that's not a factor for me. So when I see the five million
the change everybody lives
That's a motivating factor fully to jump on our chance
did you hear that jump on that chance. The universe rewards action.

If the definition of success, he knows what his lane is, he knows what he's good at and he passionately pursues. It he's define success very specifically and he's taking action in that area. He's not trying to be all things to all people he has decided. This is who I am

Amazingly, talented comedian actor
talk show host m c,
producer, he said
Something that was really
trusting and showed so much the heart of a champion
You know what man comes up a week. We come from the same type of cloth. You say some to me a long time ago. You say it.
You blown out. My candle angle make yours brighter
and I have used it so
many times, and I have always given you credit share with me and asked what a lot of people think man a lot of people think that, if view
Then, if you blow somebody else up dead, makes you less or a few lessons. Somebody blows europe now, man.
your candle flickers your candle flickr.
These talkin about there is you, don't get ahead by putting other people down you get ahead by being the best you can.
This is a guy that code rows of corn in a field when he was
eleven years old.
No, these champions didn't start at the top.
I started where they started. They started scratching out a living cause. You may be sit near thinking, well, yeah
That's easy be quoting least champions. Zis, multimillion air world champions, it's great for them, but
sit near living in a rented apartment in the neighborhood, barely making my car payment or rent.
We tell you these guys didn't start out?
making millions of dollars. This know what steve army said. His philosophy was yet
Do what you can do when you can do it? Don't
turned down no geeks.
Take a wherever he said,
Look man is based is right here. What good is it you to sit at home causes
school for comedy.
There's nothing. You can go, do to become a comedian. You have to be borne this way.
So the only school for comedy is the stage you have to
go as many times as uk? He say. So. If somebody offer you a hundred twenty five for a week
and you been given to fifty you not gonna, go get one. Twenty five legal
the house and give zero.
or you can go to school and get one twenty five he's a man a paying you to learn.
The craft never forget there and I was
I took every gig. I didn't care what it pay. If I was off at the gate,
That was the greatest advice. He told me that hustle has remained in the system.
Talk about what sinbad another great comedian told him: hustle hustle hustle don't pass
any gig
take action towards unknown outcome and its
gonna be a success. Only journey.
A red one time we're Michael Jordan said I've missed more than nine thousand shots in my career, I've lost almost three hundred games
Twenty six times I've been trusted to take the game, winning shot and missed.
I failed over and over and over again in my life.
In that.
Why I succeed.
This is not a success. Only journey this.
Something where you ve got to find your way. Ev ry, step of the way.
billy, jean king, greatest woman's tennis player of her era, maybe of all time said a champion- is afraid of losing.
Everyone else is afraid of winning.
Now, what do you think she means by that?
She means people live in a comfort zone and it takes guts to win.
Because why
People have a damage, personal truth and they think
I don't deserve to win and when it gets down to it, they will find a way to lose. They ouch.
They'll find a reason.
did you do that.
Do you come in second, do you fall short because
In your heart of hearts,
you don't really believe you're a winner. You don't really believe you're a champion.
Wise man once said the difference between winners and losers. Is it winners? Do things losers, do not want to do.
Well, maybe it would a wise man- maybe that was me, but
That's really a good thought when you think about it. Winners do things losers, don't wanna do.
So how about you
you will and do.
What losers don't want to do.
well, let's find out,
I'm gonna tell you the seven core characteristics of a champion right now,.
I'm gonna, tell you what I have learned.
I've studied it, I've read about it. I've experienced it.
And you're going to find. I'm gonna be summarizing for you.
What I just gave you examples of from
all of these amazing champions. Bartley image, belgic, shack ron, wide Steve harvey.
these different people,
And here they are.
The number one thing I found among people there
were winners, people that were champions
If they understood you have to name it to claim it
they were very clear about what it is they wanted. They were very clear about their definition of success.
these people that were winners. If you ask them
tell me about success in your life. Tell me about what you're after
man would they tell you.
You a lot of people would say. Oh I don't want to talk about our jinx myself. Not these people
They would say, oh, let me tell you, I can tell you how it's gonna look. I can tell you how it's going to feel. I can tell you how it's going to smell. I can tell you who's going to be there when it happens. I can tell
everything about it.
give you rich detail. They could see it, I mean it was just palpable to them.
It was so real. They were not an unguarded missile, they were like a laser bomb, they had a target and they knew exactly what it was number two
These people had a strategy. They,
a strategy from getting from where they were to what they wanted.
they were dished out. Their work and hard say will hopefully some day is just gonna pay off? No, no! No, they had a strategy. They have.
A plan they re
colonise the difference between goals and dreams was a timeline. Anna calendar.
They knew they had to have a timeline. They re
kick lies that some day is not a day of the week. They recognise that if I want what I want I've,
To set ago, I've got to identify the steps necessary to achieve the goal, and I've got to put that
Yes, a timeline and I've got to hold myself accountable.
they had a clear goal in mind and us
energy to get there and that kept them focused on what they did want. Instead of working for what they didn't want. You don't want to.
Work all your life for what you don't want and then get it and go well. I got what I didn't want you
Spend all your life working at least work for what you do want, not what you don't want to do that
You have to define success and then you have to have a strategy to get there and that me.
you ve got a break your goals down into measurable terms. Third,
These people recognise that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but
Universe rewards actions these weren't people that set around with good intentions. The
where people that put verbs and their sentences they powered up towards unknown outcome, they behave their way to success. They did it.
Until they didn't work on it for a day or a week or a month or a year, they did it until there was no quit in these people. They never stop. They were relentless. They did not stop until they got what they want. The
Universe, rewards action, naughty intention. They took power,
From action they move towards their go there
for us between winners and losers, as winners do things. Losers, though, want to do, and that means taking action and never quitting until you get what you want forth.
These people did not live in a comfort zone.
They did not live in a comfort zone. They were willing to take risks. They were not the kind of person that would keep one foot on the dock and one foot on the boat.
And do the splits, because they were afraid to leave land
They were willing to take the risk to go out to sea, they weren't reckless, but they didn't.
Even a comfort zone, and you know
But the number one risk is that people take it.
What scares people the most it's that if
succeed.
then people are going to expect them to maintain it think about it.
Let's say you work in a job. You reckon seventy five thousand dollars a year in its sails and all of a sudden, you jump up and you make a hundred thousand dollars.
Well, isn't everyone going to expect you to do that again or better the next year you damn
They are,
And you know what you're gonna do: you're gonna to your lifestyle, you're gonna start living at a hundred thousand dollars a year level, you're going
and a hundred thousand dollar your house, a hundred thousand your car, you gonna, get one hundred thousand dollar year. France
when there's gonna be lots of pressure to maintain that that worries people it's much easier. It stay where you are stay. Where
its comfortable, not the.
if the people, not the people, I've studied that were champions of people. I started that were champions were willing to take the risk they were willing to get out of the comfort zone. They were willing to risk what they had to get, what they wanted. Number five
There was an interesting quality about these people. They dealt with reality.
These were not people that would kid themselves. These were people that dealt with reality.
These are people. If they were in a bad relationship, they admitted it. They are in a bad marriage. They said so and, interestingly enough, they did not have an uncommonly high divorce rate. Why? Because,
If they had a problem, they acknowledged it and they work the problem, but they dealt with reality. They weren't in denial. If they were pursuing something- and it was flawed, they acknowledge the flaws they fixed him or they made a course correction. They dare,
With reality, they did not lie to themselves. They did not kid themselves, they did not go down some fantasy trail. Some get rich quick scheme.
They were honest with themselves and
everyone around them.
In the last two I'm going to talk about together because they go together number.
Six is nucleus:
One single success:
story that I studied was alone ranger?
every single one of them surrounded themselves with people that wanted them to succeed.
They surrounded themselves with people that were like minded.
That shared their passion and wanted them to do well.
They wanted them to get what they were after. They wanted them to succeed and they went along for the ride because they were part of the journey. They were part of the success vega to reap the.
benefits as well.
how about you do you
have toxic people in your life. Do you
if people in your circle that do not want you to do well, do you have toxic people in your life that
depressed anxious on drugs messed up, there
not pulling all in the same direction as you, but you let them hang around and contaminate your environment. Your mind, your effort, your world, if you are get rid of them, they are.
thing worse than being in a bad relationship, for a year is being a bad relationship for a year and one day, if you ve got back
People in your life hit the eject button and put them in your rearview mirror. Do not,
burn daylight, get them out of your life.
And the last characteristic that goes along with nucleus, because it is what bonds people together.
Passion.
Passion excitement.
You have to have passion in your life, any of you don't you need
Find something that you are passionate about.
It was interesting, my son J wrote a book called life strategies for teens and improper,
should for that book. He talked to groups of teens need
after some groups that were on drugs, and he talked
some groups that we're not on drugs-
and there was one primary characteristic: the differentiated, the two groups
very surprised, as was he at what that differentiating characteristic was it was not.
Moral compass or
disciplinary parents.
You know what it was.
The kids that were on drugs, they were,
choir you on drugs there most common answer was,
I have no reason not to be.
I have no reason not to be
and I want to be accepted and the entry require,
as for the drug culture, is
Simply that I do drugs, I dont have
To be clean, I don't have to be smart, don't have to be short tall, that skinny does it
after all, I gotta do do drugs. There are no interview requirements whatsoever and I
have no reason not to do drugs. I got nothin else going on.
And when he asked the kids who were not on drugs,
Why they weren't on drugs? He thought he would get an answer of some moral compass that steer them away from it. That was
the answer, the answer
was greed, the air,
it was agreed. They said I'm not on drugs because it does not fit my plan. I have
something I want- and this does not get me closer to that, go with
Was they wanted a car where they wanted to be on the football team or the debate team or go to college or whatever, and they just said drugs does not get me what I want I
passion will want to be on a football team. I passionately wanna go to college, I passionately, wanna, have a car,
passionately need this job and drug simply don't get me what I want. So it's my greed that keeps may move forward and
don't help. So they don't fit my plan. What does
tell you mom and dad. If you
have a kid, that's not passionate about something in life. You need
Listening to me right now and go find something for them to be passionate about, because
their passionate about something in their life where they don't have time for drugs? There
much less likely to go down that road.
But how about you.
Are you going through the motions? Are you
waking up every day and just putting one foot in front of the other and going through the motions.
Are you doing what you're doing today, primarily because it's what you were doing yesterday.
not because it's what you want to do, but because it's what you are already doing are,
Doing what you're doing today? Because it's what's expected by your family, your friends, your church, whoever.
are you living on assigned life instead?
Nah, authentic life.
If you are passionate about what you're doing.
You need a really stepped back and ask yourself what it is. You would be passionate about.
because you need to be passionate about something.
Maybe it's a hobby, maybe it's your job, maybe your blessed enough that your hobby and your job are the same thing where your avocation in your vacation are one and the same. If that's true, you
Truly blast, but you need something that you are so excited about, so passionate about that you
I want to sleep fast is just like you just want to go back and get the back up. I want to get back in the game. I don't want to waste time sleeping I won in the game. I wanna be in life. I want to get moving,
That's not the case, you
to change the case.
these seven factors were present
in every success case that I have studied over the last forty five years.
and, as I said, every one of them are doable by you
doable by me.
put yourself on project status. Put your life on project status. Maybe you're not going to be the number one rusher in the nfl, maybe you're not going to be in the top five rebounders in the n b, a maybe you're, not going to be one of the top grossing comedians or entertainers in the world.
But you can be the best at what you do. You can be
the best in your life and you,
be excited about who you are and where you are every day for the rest of your life.
You remember, I asked the senator what's the matter
Exciting thing to ever happen in your life
And he said well, Sonny
I hope it hasn't happened yet.
And I certainly hope it hasn't happened yet in your life.
And I certainly hope it hasn't happened yet in mine.
