1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: I think it's important to really talk about balance and 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: what does it really mean. So very rarely in life 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: are you going to have balance. I think that the 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: whole goal of life is to be unbalanced, so you 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: can achieve balance, but you have to be unbalanced at 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: a certain point to achieve balance, So this isn't theory. 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen, I was on the couch in my parents' house. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: Things wasn't going good for me, but that was an 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: opportunity for me to stay up to two o'clock three 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning and really master social media. 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 2: Taught myself how to edit a variety of different things. 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: When I was just playing around with apps, Mike would 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: give me a suggestion about this app, and then I 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: would take three hours to learn the app and then 15 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: make content and then do this. I had a career 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: as a financial advisor that I had to do from 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: nine to five or longer, and then from nine o'clock 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: to two o'clock in the morning, when everybody with sleep 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: and it was cemetery silence, I could close the blinds 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: and I would work. That was extremely unbalanced and continued 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: that even now. Right, But these are sacrifices that were 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: made eight years ago to get me to the point 23 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: where I am now. So I think that the idea 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: or the fairy tale of a balanced life is something 25 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: that is unrealistic for anybody that's trying to achieve greatness, 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: especially if you're an. 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: Entrepreneur or you're a business owner. 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: So it's your responsibility to be able to communicate this 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: to your wife's significant other children, and they have to 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: understand how to deal with disappointment because the sacrifices that 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: you're making are luxuries that they're provided. So this is 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: an unbalanced life that I've never seen anybody that has 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: had any level of balance that have achieved the high 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: level of success. When we met Robert Smith, it was 35 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,279 Speaker 1: seven o'clock in the morning on a he was already 36 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: working and he told us that he was flying out 37 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: that next day. And he flies out all the time, 38 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: de stout. Every single person, same story, flying there in 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: different countries, different continents. That may seem like it's a 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: lavish life that they're living, but their sacrifices that's made. 41 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: They're not with their families all the time, they're not 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: with their children all the time, they're not with their 43 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: spouse all the time, they're not listening to music, they're 44 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: not playing poker all the time. So it's something that 45 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: we can't always sugarcoat something and. 46 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 2: Make it okay. 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: No, there is no level of successful balance, especially in 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: the beginning stages, that you have to make sacrifices. This 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: is why everybody won't achieve success. This is why it's 50 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: called a sacrifice. You have to sacrifice things like playing 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: video games. You have to sacrifice things like going to 52 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: the movies. You have to sacrifice things like random nonsense 53 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: or on social media for hours at a time. If 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: you're not willing to make those sacrifices, that's okay, But 55 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: you're also probably will not be able to be a 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: high level of success, and that's okay too. So I 57 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: think that you know, at some point in time, we just. 58 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 2: Have to be honest. 59 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: You can't always sugarcoat things, and you can't always paint 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: a fairy tale. This is things that I personally went 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: through and have still going through, and this is the 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: things that I've seen other people going through, and every 63 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: single person has the same story. It's an extremely unbalanced 64 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: life to hopefully one day achieve balance. So I just 65 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: think that that's important to keep in mind because like 66 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: I said, we live in a day and age where 67 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: everybody has an opinion, but very few people have any 68 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: level of expertise to speak on that opinion. If you haven't, 69 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: if you haven't become successful, how can you teach me 70 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: about success? So when you're when you're on your journey 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: to be successful, understand that there's going to be sacrifices 72 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: that you have to make. And if you're not willing 73 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: to make those sacrifices, then that's okay. But just understand 74 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: your life will still be unbalanced because when you're at 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: the bottom and you have all the time in the 76 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: world to spend with your family, then they're going to 77 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: complain because you don't have enough money to provide for them, 78 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: or you a certain point, you're a certain point be 79 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: unhappy because you can't provide a certain lifestyle for yourself 80 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: or for your family. So they're still unbalanced even when 81 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: you think that you haven't balanced. 82 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 3: Today's monologue was brought to you by Assets of Reliabilities 83 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: and Red Panda Stock Club. Now I agree balance is 84 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 3: an illusion, but when I'm with my child, I'm fully 85 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: with him. But he I've also began to teach him 86 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: since he was young. And it's not like you're all 87 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: working all the time and you never see your family. 88 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 3: Like losing your family is not something that we're aiming for, 89 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: but to be done at three. And I've always said it. 90 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: If you think that, like every time I leave and 91 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 3: I'm at a tropical place, if you think I'm just 92 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 3: laying on the beach and getting grapes fed to me, 93 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: that's not it. Like even the shows and travel are work. 94 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: But the goal is to get to a place of 95 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 3: financial freedom so that you're able to help yourself your family. 96 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: And I'm gonna be very honest, like you said, like 97 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 3: if you don't have if you have a preponderance of 98 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: time available for your family, at some point they're going 99 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: to get bored or they're going to be disappointed that 100 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: you didn't work hard enough to get to where you 101 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: want it to be. So I know it's you know, 102 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: books like the four hour work Week and all these 103 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 3: life hacks, but none of the people that are at 104 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: the top of the food chain captives of industry are 105 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: doing any of those things. Please be mindful about the 106 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: information that is given to you for clicks versus the 107 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: information that actually works. 108 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 4: It's real spill. It's real spill. And that sacrifice part. 109 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: I'm glad you said it because it happens to us 110 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: every day. Like I posted something yesterday my son scored 111 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: his first touchdown. 112 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what was appsent from the video me. 113 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 4: I had to get a clip from somebody that taped 114 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 4: it and that you know what I mean. 115 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 5: Does it hurt? Yeah? It hurts. 116 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: I mean we spent hours in the front yard playing 117 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 4: catch for him to get to that point where he 118 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 4: could catch the ball and run with the ball. All 119 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 4: these things that we worked on to see all accumulate 120 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 4: to him actually scoring a touchdown and you not being 121 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 4: there to see it. Nobody worries about that part. But 122 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 4: the explanation when I get home is like, Yo, I'm 123 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 4: so proud of you. I'm so proud of you. I 124 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: missed it. But he gets it. He understands that that 125 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: I have to do work. He understands as the benefits 126 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 4: that come with it. That's why I said, even in 127 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 4: relationships with your spouse, like communication is portant, communication with 128 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: your children is important as well. 129 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 5: So they can understand it. Then they get to watch it. 130 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 4: And that's why we always say, like we're going to 131 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 4: leave by demonstration, first and foremost right, how we conduct 132 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 4: ourselves as men, how we conduct ourselves as fathers, how 133 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 4: we conduct ourselves as sons, right because our mothers, we're 134 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 4: fortunate to have our parents. All these things are being 135 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 4: taken in and they're going to shape the next generation 136 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: that we're provided for and that we're upbringing right now. 137 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 5: But that gets overlooked all the time. 138 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, even at Troy's birthday party here about, like y'all 139 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: were about to go out, got to show the next day. 140 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to go out. I got to 141 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: prepare for the show, disinvest fast. This is the first 142 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: she I was out, and even the promoter was like, well, 143 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: I know you ain't gonna show up, but if you 144 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: can just see your people, I'm like, no, you're paying 145 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: me to come. I'm gonna come. I'm not gonna just 146 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 3: flake out on you. I think we have to put 147 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: Even when I make the comment on Zoe Show, hey 148 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: stay in the house five years, I made no way 149 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: in hell I can do that. The choices you can 150 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: either sacrifice, I ask them all the time whenever we out, Hey, 151 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: I don't even know how you do this because a 152 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: lot of times you get to see the end products. 153 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: You don't get to see the build up that it takes. 154 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: It just even do this show. Every time I'm getting 155 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: out of the uber, like what do you having here? Body, 156 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: I gotta take the equipment just in case something happens, 157 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: and they're like, hey, got to record on my Wednesday 158 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 3: or schedule change. 159 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 5: You never know. 160 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 3: Always be prepared. But I noticed the people that are 161 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: most prepared are the ones that end up taking advantage. 162 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: We're you're about to be in twenty twenty four. Technically 163 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: the market has been down since twenty nineteen. I ask 164 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: them every week how many people started the show, and 165 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: they show fell off just because they wouldn't be consistent. 166 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: And then also it's like one of these things where 167 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: like I said, your goal might not be to be 168 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: a millionaire or to have financial freedom. That's okay, but 169 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: just understand that you're still it's not a balance. I 170 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: don't I never you can't say well, I just want 171 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: to I'm just providing for my family, like somebody, at 172 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: some point in time, somebody's gonna argue. 173 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: Somebody's not gonna be happy, because I've seen it. 174 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: Financial hardship causes issues This. 175 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: Is not a debatable fact. 176 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: It causes resentment, it causes issues, It causes internal problems. 177 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: So just understand that you're choosing a certain level of imbalance. 178 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: You might have all the time in the world, you 179 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: might have all of the you're playing, all the video games, 180 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: you're going to every game, you're going all the soccer 181 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: games you're coaching. That's a blessing. It's going to come 182 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: a time money is going to be an issue. Money 183 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: is going to be an issue. 184 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 5: Here's the test. 185 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: Tell your girl right now, I lost all my money 186 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: listening to the end, and you to pay all the 187 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 3: bills for the next eight months and see what the response. 188 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: Is and she and she'll do it. And like I said, 189 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of women that are paying bills. That's 190 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: the head of the household, and they'll do it. Watch 191 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: how they talk to the man to watch how you 192 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: talk to you. No, I'm not this is this is real, 193 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: this is fact, this is factual. Watch how they talk 194 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: to you, and watch how the roles were reversed as 195 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: far as watch how they talk to a man that 196 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: is providing everything for them. I'm not saying that you 197 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: have to provide everything. I'm just saying I'm just using 198 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: this as a case study because I've seen both sides 199 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: of it. I've seen how men get talked to that 200 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: provide everything. I see how men get talked to that 201 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: provide nothing. I see it. There's always exceptions to the rules. 202 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: I get it. But I'm telling you, this is a one. 203 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: Fact. 204 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: So so it just gives them what it is and SEK, 205 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: what do you want me? 206 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: A lot of you. 207 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: I tied up what I'm saying.

This is the work ethic 226 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: that he's displaying. Michael Jordan. I tell this story all 227 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: the time. I met a guy. He was like, when 228 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan was on the Wizards. Mind you, this is 229 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: the end of Michael Jordan's career, after he's already been 230 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: established as the greatest of all time and all of 231 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: these different things. And there was a rumor that the 232 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: building that the guy was staying in, Michael Jordan will 233 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: go there to train in the morning. So the guy 234 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: comes at seven o'clock in the morning with his son 235 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: because he was like, I want to just I want 236 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: to see Michael Jordan. And he waited for fifteen minutes. 237 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: He didn't see Michael. So he asked the guys that 238 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: I heard Michael Jordan comes trains here and I wanted 239 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: to come early with my son, like, you know, do 240 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: you know what time he'll be coming? 241 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: He said, he left. 242 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: He was here for three hours and he left. This 243 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: is the level of discipline, dedication, determination, and unbalanced. When 244 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: I saw Floyd Mayweather running at twelve o'clock at night, 245 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: this isoud not balanced, it's not normal. Yeah, so this 246 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, Like, this is a certain this 247 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: is a real conversation that we got to have because 248 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: people have false expectations of success. Oh I'm just gonna 249 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: work the weekend and be successful. Oh I'm gonna take 250 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: this or I want to. I want to have balance. 251 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: I want to go to every single concert I can. 252 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: I want to play every single video game I can. 253 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: Because life is about balance. Okay, well you're not going 254 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: to be successful, and that's okay, but don't expect to 255 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: reach the highest levels of success and not be unbalanced. 256 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: You got to be an extremely unbalanced person to reach 257 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: this level of success. You think that Elon Musk got 258 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: this from being balanced, or Mark Zuckerberg got this from 259 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: being balanced, or Jay Z got that level from being balanced. 260 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: Like this, this is the harsh reality. This is the 261 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: harsh reality of business and entrepreneurship. It's not fun. Like 262 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: you got to be out of your mind to want 263 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: to work all the time. Yeah, you can't be a 264 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: normal person, can't be like your brain can't be normal 265 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: to never want to stop working. This is really why 266 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: there's very few people that have ever achieved that level 267 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: of success. 268 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 3: And for everyone who says I'm gonna work smart, all 269 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: the smartest people on earth. Sam Autman of open Ai, 270 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Neil Tyson, Nia Grass Tyson, Charlotte Man. 271 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 3: Everybody's up at three, four, five, and six o'clock in 272 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: the morning, getting seven days a week with automation.

You notice every billionaire that we've ever talked to, 275 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 3: no one's ever mentioned before hour work week. They would 276 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 3: have bought every company associated in that book to free 277 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 3: up all the time. It's not possible. I know he's 278 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 3: going up to tomorrow. 279 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 5: They's a HQ. 280 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: Zuckerberg being at four o'clock in the morning. He's mega rich, 281 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 3: so much so him and his wife said, hey, man, 282 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: let's let's put a database for all the diseases together. 283 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: And even if you get that, make it look cool. 284 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: You know who?

This is somebody who you probably wouldn't 288 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: think you look at future, you're not thinking that he's 289 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: a workaholic. 290 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,479 Speaker 2: Like they said, the guy stays. 291 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: In the studio for ten hours non his birthday.

Doesn't happen, 299 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: really doesn't. 300 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: It doesn't.
