1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: up to sizes See you're listening to the Daily Game,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: to stay motivated. The most difficult thing for people to

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: understand is how cold the higher levels of the game become.

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: The higher you climb the mountain, the colder it gets.

9
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: When you start dealing in the game, and you start

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: moving up, and you start getting into bigger business and

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: bigger numbers. It's more difficult to get it. When you're

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: talking about somebody and you just want to get one

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, they might just pull in their pocket and

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: reach in there and give it. I talk to people

15
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: every day, Oh, I'm trying to get this movie made.

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: You're trying to get a movie made, so you're basically

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: asking somebody to give you ten twenty million dollars, even

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: if it's a small movie. You want someone to hand

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: over a million dollars. People just don't hand over a

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: million dollars. I always tell people, I'm like, you want

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: people to give you money. If you had a million dollars,

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: would you put it into this? Would you not buy

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: a house, not buy a car, not do anything other

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: than invest in your own project? Would you spend every

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: single dime you had on it? Do you believe in

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: it that much? You probably don't. In an independent business,

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: a lot of cats can't succeed because they're not willing

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: to take the money they make and reinvest in themselves.

29
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: So now you move up the mountain and now you're

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: trying to do bigger things. You want someone to give

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: you twenty million dollars or one hundred million dollars. Oh,

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: it gets cold, it gets hard, and they are dead serious.

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: One thing you have to learn about as far as

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: business goes, nobody's doing any favors. Everyone is looking for

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: a profit. When I deal with people in business and

36
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: they come to me, first thing I ask them is

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: this charity or is this business? And they go what?

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: I go? Do you just need a handout? You're asking

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: me to help you? Do you need a handout? Or

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: is this is business? Well? What's the difference a handout?

41
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: I might just help you. I'm capable of charity. I

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: might just give you some money, good luck. If it's business,

43
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to expect a return, and don't get mad

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: at me when I respect the return because this is business. Wow,

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: that's cold. The higher you climb up the mountain, the

46
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: colder it gets. The more you're asking for, the colder

47
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to be. I might want collateral, people might

48
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: want all types of contracts signed. You trying to get

49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: that bag. They might have you sign off your next

50
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: to ken. This is big business. So the theory that

51
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: it gets easier as you move up the mountain, No,

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: it gets colder. I'm on television shows. People get fired,

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: things happen. People are like, wow, why did that have

54
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: to happen. I'm like, this is a cold game. This

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: is how the business runs. So just be aware of that.

56
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: You know, when you're down on the ground level and

57
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: you're just doing small things, it may not be that bloodthirsty.

58
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: But the higher you go and the more money that's involved,

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: shit gets cutthroat. This has been another ice cold fact

60
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: from me iceed tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop

61
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,

62
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: and stay knowing that it's cold on the top, but

63
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: it's worth it ice sees Daily Game. It's a production
