Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to sizes See you're listening to the Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind
Speaker 1: to stay motivated. The most difficult thing for people to
Speaker 1: understand is how cold the higher levels of the game become.
Speaker 1: The higher you climb the mountain, the colder it gets.
Speaker 1: When you start dealing in the game, and you start
Speaker 1: moving up, and you start getting into bigger business and
Speaker 1: bigger numbers. It's more difficult to get it. When you're
Speaker 1: talking about somebody and you just want to get one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, they might just pull in their pocket and
Speaker 1: reach in there and give it. I talk to people
Speaker 1: every day, Oh, I'm trying to get this movie made.
Speaker 1: You're trying to get a movie made, so you're basically
Speaker 1: asking somebody to give you ten twenty million dollars, even
Speaker 1: if it's a small movie. You want someone to hand
Speaker 1: over a million dollars. People just don't hand over a
Speaker 1: million dollars. I always tell people, I'm like, you want
Speaker 1: people to give you money. If you had a million dollars,
Speaker 1: would you put it into this? Would you not buy
Speaker 1: a house, not buy a car, not do anything other
Speaker 1: than invest in your own project? Would you spend every
Speaker 1: single dime you had on it? Do you believe in
Speaker 1: it that much? You probably don't. In an independent business,
Speaker 1: a lot of cats can't succeed because they're not willing
Speaker 1: to take the money they make and reinvest in themselves.
Speaker 1: So now you move up the mountain and now you're
Speaker 1: trying to do bigger things. You want someone to give
Speaker 1: you twenty million dollars or one hundred million dollars. Oh,
Speaker 1: it gets cold, it gets hard, and they are dead serious.
Speaker 1: One thing you have to learn about as far as
Speaker 1: business goes, nobody's doing any favors. Everyone is looking for
Speaker 1: a profit. When I deal with people in business and
Speaker 1: they come to me, first thing I ask them is
Speaker 1: this charity or is this business? And they go what?
Speaker 1: I go? Do you just need a handout? You're asking
Speaker 1: me to help you? Do you need a handout? Or
Speaker 1: is this is business? Well? What's the difference a handout?
Speaker 1: I might just help you. I'm capable of charity. I
Speaker 1: might just give you some money, good luck. If it's business,
Speaker 1: I'm going to expect a return, and don't get mad
Speaker 1: at me when I respect the return because this is business. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's cold. The higher you climb up the mountain, the
Speaker 1: colder it gets. The more you're asking for, the colder
Speaker 1: I'm going to be. I might want collateral, people might
Speaker 1: want all types of contracts signed. You trying to get
Speaker 1: that bag. They might have you sign off your next
Speaker 1: to ken. This is big business. So the theory that
Speaker 1: it gets easier as you move up the mountain, No,
Speaker 1: it gets colder. I'm on television shows. People get fired,
Speaker 1: things happen. People are like, wow, why did that have
Speaker 1: to happen. I'm like, this is a cold game. This
Speaker 1: is how the business runs. So just be aware of that.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're down on the ground level and
Speaker 1: you're just doing small things, it may not be that bloodthirsty.
Speaker 1: But the higher you go and the more money that's involved,
Speaker 1: shit gets cutthroat. This has been another ice cold fact
Speaker 1: from me iceed tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and stay knowing that it's cold on the top, but
Speaker 1: it's worth it ice sees Daily Game. It's a production
