You must squeak in order to squeak. You must grind because that is what you do. You are excited about what you do. So, wake up every day with this concept
I think this is what people need to focus on. Like, out of this "I want to do 6 numbers" ... "I want to drive this car" ... "I want to live in this house"
I think people should focus on: I have 24 hours. Like 24-year-old Oprah, only 24-year-old Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, just 24, and in that 24-hour period I can spend my life or revive my life.
I am not saying that you should not have goals. I think people's goals are very high on the list of priorities. I think what should be on the priority list will drop so you can wake up the next day and you can do it.
I'm just a man who thinks you harvest what you sow. So, if you cook on Monday, creak Tuesday, squeak on Wednesday, if you grind 6-7 days a week, for 5 or 6 years, something must come out from there.
But if you just squeak ... you know that the two you excited ... Wednesday, you back to sleep ... Thursday you have the world flac ...
I think that if we spend more time in: "What is my goal"
I mean, what should I do on this day ... to live this kind of life? And then go, I think more people will be successful.
"I have 24 hours and they are mine. These twenty four hours belong to me, and everything I do in these 24 hours will determine where I will be tomorrow and tomorrow."
2. Rise early and beat them to the spot!
So I go to bed consistently early. I wake up early. Now, this is why I wake up. Now if you’re listening to me and you’re an entrepreneur you have to hear this.
There are people who graduated Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude… I didn’t. There are people who were born into wealth. There are people who were born into a certain network. I wasn’t.
But here’s the trick:
Even though I don’t have what they have,I can outwork you.So if I am getting up at 3 in the morning and as sweet as you are: networks, parents, wealth, opportunities and you’re getting up at 8 I’ve got a 5 hour jumpstart.
I don’t care who you are, if we’re travelling to the same city and I get up 5 hrs before you: I’m going to get there before you get there.
So my trick is, I get up at 3 in the morning because I didn’t know who my biological father was. It took me 12 years to get a degree.So what I’m trying to explain to people is my ritual is: I’m gonna beat you to the spot. I’m gonna beat you to the spot! That’s what it’s all about.
3. If you say you’re going to do it: DO IT!
Innovation is rewarded, execution is worshipped.
Your money changes when you execute. I realized I didn’t have a right concept of success.
Now I understand success is accomplishing what you say you’re going to accomplish. It’s getting done what you said you’re gonna get done.And lets be honest: If you were to sit back and do a percentage on what you said you were going to do, in a timespan, how would you grade yourself?
If you say 70%, you’re a C. If you say 80%, you’re a B. 90%, you’re an A. 100% (You’re top of the class) So if you can execute every single time…
So as I begin to look at my life, if I say I’m going to work out 21 days in a row and nobody knows about it… Nobody knows I’m going to work out for 21 days,I can kinda sneak away with I’ll do 30, I cheat here, cheat there. But when I call somebody and say: “Hey! I’m going to work out for 21 days and I need you to hold me accountable.”, a part of my working out has absolutely nothing to do with working out. It has absolutely nothing to do with my health. It has absolutely nothing to do with with me caring about my body. It has everything to do with “I told you I was going to do it. and I don’t want you to call me and ask me did I do it and I’d have to tell you I didn’t do it.”
So I realize that every man is where he is because when he says he’s going to do something, not only does he do it, but he does it in a certain timeframe and with a certain quality.I always think about if I don’t execute how is that going to hurt my family?
So I’m going to say I guarantee you this year could be the best you year of your life if you execute more. I’m not saying you’re not executing. But I’m telling you if you to execute 100% of the time you probably had another comma to your income, another zero to your income. Just by executing, executing within a timeframe you said you’re going to do it, and executing with excellence.
Just do those three things and I guarantee you’re going to go to a whole ‘nother level.
4. Model the successful.
I gotta believe that millionaires do certain things. I gotta believe they have a certain habit. I gotta believe they sleep so many hours. I gotta believe they know their craft. I gotta believe they’re passionate.
So when I take my goal instead of looking at my goal and asking how much money can I make I gotta ask myself what from 8 to 9 what should I be doing, from 9 to 10 what should I be doing, from 10 to 10:15 what should I be doing, thats why I wake up every morning at 3 because for me it’s ok.
Monday do this. Tuesday do this. Wednesday do that. And if do those things, I’m guaranteed to be successful.
5. You can always be better.
Greatness is about making things better Greatness is about getting better.
You know when we were kids Granny used to say:
“Good, better, best, never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best.”
So for me greatness is about… Nobody knows what I’m capable of. But I know what I’m capable of. Getting better every single day. Never settling.
Never saying “I got a PHD, so I’m finished.”… “I got a few videos that went viral, I’m doing good.”… “I wrote 3 books.”
Eric, you know at the end of the day when you lay your head down to sleep, you KNOW when you’ve given your best. You KNOW when you’ve gotten better. And greatness is challenging the today you and the FUTURE you saying you can get better.
I got average skill, but I got phenomenal will.
I had to really ask myself what do I want to do with the rest of my life. All of us are born with a gift but you gotta hone it.
It’s just not.. You’re not gonna become great. Greatness is upon you. I realized that my gift wasn’t going to create itself. My gift wasn’t going to nurture itself. My gift wasn’t going to perfect itself, that was something that I had to do.
