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 SiZ 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 helped me through the game 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from one of the og 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: knowledge droppers, Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest writer in 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: the English language. His thirty nine plays have been translated 8 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: into every major language and are still quoted around the 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: world today, even though they were written into fifteen and 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: sixteen hundreds. This is one of its lesser known quotes 11 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: that still has all the gems. Expectation is the root 12 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: of heartache. The bottom line of that is, if you 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: have unrealistic expectations or expectations or situations that aren't in 14 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: your control, you're going to be disappointed pretty close one 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: hundred percent at the time. 16 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: Have humble expectations. 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: Always do worst case scenarios, like if I'm trying to 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: sell something. Say I'm trying to sell a shirt and yeah, 19 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: I got ten thousand people out there, that fuck wouldn't 20 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: be But I'm gonna go for the worst case scenarios, 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: like even if we only sell out of ten thousand, 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: can we move five hundred? And that's a low percentage. 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: But with that you created something that you can hit. 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: And when you add that up, if you say, okay, 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: ten down, that's be five thousand bucks. Then anything above 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: that will be a victory. If you set your expectations 27 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: really high, you got ten thousand people, we're gonna sell 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: five thousand, You're pretty much gonna be let down. Sometimes 29 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: it's better to underpromise and overproduce. Don't set people's expectations 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: so so high, because you're setting yourself up for failure 31 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: unless you're a con artist. Now, con artists will always 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: come in set high expectations, try to get a mon 33 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: grab out of you. That's why when I meet with 34 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: people and they have these incredible expectations for whatever deal 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: they're talking to me about. If the expectation is too high, 36 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: I know they're lying. I know they're full of shit. 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: Certain things in business that doesn't happen. Whenever somebody says 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: it's going to be easy, I know they're lying because 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: I have not figured out an easy way to get 40 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: When they come back with, yeah, we're going to do this, 41 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: and the numbers are just too high. 42 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: That's bullshit, or they're delusional. 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: So learn to set low expectations, and that way you 44 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: can actually always head your bet to where you can win. 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: Because you're saying, you know what, even if we only 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: do this, we're still going to make a profit. Then 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: if you manage to out do your expectations, well, god 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: damn it, you want you're happy. You have a reason 49 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: to pop that champagne bottle because you push past it. 50 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: But Shakespeare said, it's the root of all heartache. That's 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: cold shake no man, you know, expecting too much out 52 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: of somebody, they will always let you down. 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: Just go for the bare minimum. 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: Hey, And you'll hear a lot of business people say, well, 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: even if this happens, a low, low estimate will win. 56 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: Now you're talking. Now, we gotta understanding. The bottom line 57 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: is that you have to set goals, but set obtainable goals. 58 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: That way you get wins. 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: Like even if you're trying to lose weight, don't think 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: I gotta lose two hundred pounds one hundred pounds. I 61 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: gotta lose five pounds. Okay, you lose five pounds, that's 62 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: a win. Okay, Now I gotta go for ten fifteen. 63 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Get that that's a win, and those wins will keep 64 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: you motivated. But if you say I gotta lose fifty 65 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: pounds and you don't lose it the first week or 66 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: month or whatever you're trying to do, you're gonna give up. 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: So set obtainable goals and you'll move forward. 68 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 2: Don't expect too much. 69 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: Shakespeare's fucking right the root of heartache, and I'm guilty 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: of that. I went through a lot of over expecting 71 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: things and got my heart broke early. Now I don't 72 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: expect that much. This has been another ice cold fact 73 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: from me iced tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop 74 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, 75 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: and stay knowing that expectation will only make you unhappy. 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: I sees Daily Game. 77 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: It's a production of iHeartRadio, Final Level Entertainment and Oddity, 78 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: an Asylum entertainment company.
