I get up at 3 because it's silent, it's easier to be focused when the environment is focused. Most of you wake up and you try to make money. Listen to me, if you would make you, money would come to you. Okay, you missed that whole thing I just said. If you would make you a better person, you'd make more money. Now, watch what I do. The way people spend their money or treat their money is how I treat my time. All right, let me explain what I mean to you. I make sure that every single day in that 24-hour period that I'm getting a whole bunch of wins. So I'm supposed to be doing this at this time, doing this at this time, doing this at this time, doing this at this time. The problem with most of you, you waking up and you worshiping money. Man, I was in the back with cold, cold was like, E, I got this opportunity for you, I got this opportunity, I got this opportunity. When you become number one, you have to chase opportunities. So I became number one, not meaning I'm better than nobody else, it means I just mastered my craft to the point that I know what I do that don't nobody else do. I know that I have a way of doing in this industry when nobody else does and I've picked out in this industry, I've carved out my own room. And your problem is, you have 50% knocking on doors trying to get the results, somebody at 100% and you wonder why it ain't working because while you're doing what they're doing, you're not they are. So why do I put more emphasis on time than I put on money? Because they print money, they don't print time. So I'm going to say it one more time, you are worshiping the thing that they make every day. You are worshiping the thing that they make every day. They don't make time every day. Ain't nobody print time, I ain't met them yet, I ain't met no billionaire, I ain't met no trillionaire, I ain't met no institution, I ain't met no company, I ain't met nobody print money. So why are you spending more time on the thing they print every day than the thing you know why? Because you're not developing and you're following other people. When you understand that the real thing is time and you ain't got a lot of it, you start focusing on your time and when you get your time right, money will come. Some people go to Dubai once every 10 years, I'm going every other month. Why? When you master yourself, you put yourself in a position that a lot of people can't do what you do and then you become rare and diamonds are rare, that's why they cost so much. If you would become rare, you're just like everybody else. You look just like everybody else, you act just like everybody else. When you become you and you become rare, you become a... When you leave this room, you will take full ownership and the reason why I say it's my fault even when it's not my fault because when I say it's your fault, I give you power, I give you control over my life and I will never give another human control over my life. It's my fault, it's my problem, I'm coming up with a solution for it. Stop being average. Average people can't forgive. Average people can't let go. The great, we do whatever it takes. Those who have a why can bear almost any high. How did I become number one in the world? Found out my wife had multiple sclerosis. They told my wife, listen to me y'all, my wife's so beast mode, they told my wife she had MS, she's like that. Then they told her she had to quit her job, tear came out. The doctor said, you don't have insurance? She said, yeah, I got insurance. She look at her like, why are you crying when you got insurance? My wife's identity is that her waking up and working every day. She went to school to be a registered nurse. She went to school to do breast implants. She didn't want to be at home. She don't want to be in her home life. She literally went to school to be a nurse. She loves her job. But when they told her she had to quit, my wife's like, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I said, how much you make? She told me 5,000. I said, 5,000 times 12 is how much? 60 times 30 years, how much? 1.8 million. I woke up every day. I'm number one in the world, not because I'm a better speaker. I'm not number one in the world because I look the best, because I dress the best. I'm not number one because my enunciation is the best, because I use the best words, because I got the best sense of structure, because I come from the best background. I became number one because I woke up and I hunted down the 1.8 million, so my wife would never have to work again. If you're waking up every day and you want a wrong voice, you ain't about to beat me. If you're waking up for a Bentley, you ain't about to beat me. If you're waking up for a gold chain, you ain't about to beat me. If you woke up for a Rollie, you ain't about to beat me, because you're going after material stuff. I'm going after my food. I'm going after my baby. I'm going after my high school sweetheart. I'm going after my kids so they can see their mom and their mama don't die. I'm making sure their mama don't get in a wheelchair if I can't help it. If their mama don't lose her sight, if I can't help it. If her mama don't lose her memory. So I started studying MS like I had. I started studying MS. Your problem is you're not studying this product like your life out on it, like your life depend on it. You're playing with this product. You know what? You're like the people that work for me that want to check and they never end up getting it. But the people who own, who work for my company act like they own it. Wake up every single day making sure she don't have to go back to work. So watch this. I started studying and I found out two things. One is stress, so I had to take her out of a stressful situation. And then the other thing was vitamin D. People say, bro, why you move to Southern California? Because my wife got it bad. I literally type, what's the best place in the world for vitamin D? Southern California. What's the best temperature in the world in the United States of America? San Diego, California. It don't go 99, 100 and then back down. It's right there. I said San Diego, I'm hunting down. You're moving to San Diego, why? I don't care about San Diego. My wife, my wife in the first year, last year we were in San Diego. My wife said to me back to Michigan when the summer came. My wife said, you know something? I said, what? She said, I never took a nap in California. I said, what do you mean by that? She said, the sun energized and I never needed to take a nap. You don't come after me. The reason why most of you can't do what you do. You can keep getting knocked down, you keep quitting. Because whatever your why is, it ain't stronger than the beat down it's taking. Whatever the beat down, whatever life is throwing at you, whatever punch, whatever's happening, it ain't deep enough for you to wake up. Like you're getting punched and you feel that pain and you're like, I don't need to get up. No, and I feel you. You need to stay down because life's going to beat you up. You're talking about making millions, life's going to beat you down. You're talking about making millions, multi-millions, billions, life's going to beat you down. So when you feel the pain and you get knocked down, stay down. If you got a why to keep it in your pain. Be proud. I will my way through it. I don't care if it's cancer. I will my way through it. I don't care if it's dementia. I will my way through it. I don't care if I'm struggling in school and I'm trying to get a degree. I will my way through it. I don't care if you fail the board. Go again. I don't care if you fail the law exam. Go again. Will your way through. Some things you can feel yourself through. Some stuff you got to will your way through. Without a vision, there's no direction. Without direction, there's no progress. The reason why you're struggling getting up is you don't have nothing to get up for.
