WEBVTT - The Colder It Gets

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to sizes See you're listening to the Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and help me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.959
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote is something I keep in mind

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>to stay motivated. The most difficult thing for people to

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>understand is how cold the higher levels of the game become.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>The higher you climb the mountain, the colder it gets.

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>When you start dealing in the game, and you start

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>moving up, and you start getting into bigger business and

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>bigger numbers. It's more difficult to get it. When you're

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about somebody and you just want to get one

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars, they might just pull in their pocket and

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>reach in there and give it. I talk to people

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>every day, Oh, I'm trying to get this movie made.

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to get a movie made, so you're basically

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 1>asking somebody to give you ten twenty million dollars, even

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>if it's a small movie. You want someone to hand

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>over a million dollars. People just don't hand over a

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. I always tell people, I'm like, you want

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>people to give you money. If you had a million dollars,

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>would you put it into this? Would you not buy

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a house, not buy a car, not do anything other

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>than invest in your own project? Would you spend every

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>single dime you had on it? Do you believe in

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it that much? You probably don't. In an independent business,

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cats can't succeed because they're not willing

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to take the money they make and reinvest in themselves.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 1>So now you move up the mountain and now you're

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to do bigger things. You want someone to give

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you twenty million dollars or one hundred million dollars. Oh,

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>it gets cold, it gets hard, and they are dead serious.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>One thing you have to learn about as far as

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>business goes, nobody's doing any favors. Everyone is looking for

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a profit. When I deal with people in business and

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>they come to me, first thing I ask them is

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>this charity or is this business? And they go what?

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I go? Do you just need a handout? You're asking

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>me to help you? Do you need a handout? Or

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>is this is business? Well? What's the difference a handout?

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I might just help you. I'm capable of charity. I

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>might just give you some money, good luck. If it's business,

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to expect a return, and don't get mad

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>at me when I respect the return because this is business. Wow,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>that's cold. The higher you climb up the mountain, the

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>colder it gets. The more you're asking for, the colder

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be. I might want collateral, people might

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>want all types of contracts signed. You trying to get

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>that bag. They might have you sign off your next

0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 1>to ken. This is big business. So the theory that

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>it gets easier as you move up the mountain, No,

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 1>it gets colder. I'm on television shows. People get fired,

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>things happen. People are like, wow, why did that have

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to happen. I'm like, this is a cold game. This

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>is how the business runs. So just be aware of that.

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you're down on the ground level and

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>you're just doing small things, it may not be that bloodthirsty.

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>But the higher you go and the more money that's involved,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>shit gets cutthroat. This has been another ice cold fact

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>from me iceed tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and stay knowing that it's cold on the top, but

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:54.520
