WEBVTT - Root of Heartache

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 SiZ 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 helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from one of the og

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>knowledge droppers, Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest writer in

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the English language. His thirty nine plays have been translated

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>into every major language and are still quoted around the

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>world today, even though they were written into fifteen and

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>sixteen hundreds. This is one of its lesser known quotes

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that still has all the gems. Expectation is the root

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>of heartache. The bottom line of that is, if you

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>have unrealistic expectations or expectations or situations that aren't in

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>your control, you're going to be disappointed pretty close one

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent at the time.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Have humble expectations.

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Always do worst case scenarios, like if I'm trying to

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>sell something. Say I'm trying to sell a shirt and yeah,

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I got ten thousand people out there, that fuck wouldn't

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>be But I'm gonna go for the worst case scenarios,

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>like even if we only sell out of ten thousand,

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>can we move five hundred? And that's a low percentage.

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 1>But with that you created something that you can hit.

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>And when you add that up, if you say, okay,

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>ten down, that's be five thousand bucks. Then anything above

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>that will be a victory. If you set your expectations

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>really high, you got ten thousand people, we're gonna sell

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>five thousand, You're pretty much gonna be let down. Sometimes

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>it's better to underpromise and overproduce. Don't set people's expectations

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>so so high, because you're setting yourself up for failure

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>unless you're a con artist. Now, con artists will always

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 1>come in set high expectations, try to get a mon

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>grab out of you. That's why when I meet with

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>people and they have these incredible expectations for whatever deal

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 1>they're talking to me about. If the expectation is too high,

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I know they're lying. I know they're full of shit.

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Certain things in business that doesn't happen. Whenever somebody says

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be easy, I know they're lying because

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I have not figured out an easy way to get

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>When they come back with, yeah, we're going to do this,

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and the numbers are just too high.

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 2>That's bullshit, or they're delusional.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>So learn to set low expectations, and that way you

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>can actually always head your bet to where you can win.

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Because you're saying, you know what, even if we only

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>do this, we're still going to make a profit. Then

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>if you manage to out do your expectations, well, god

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>damn it, you want you're happy. You have a reason

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to pop that champagne bottle because you push past it.

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>But Shakespeare said, it's the root of all heartache. That's

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>cold shake no man, you know, expecting too much out

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>of somebody, they will always let you down.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Just go for the bare minimum.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, And you'll hear a lot of business people say, well,

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>even if this happens, a low, low estimate will win.

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Now you're talking. Now, we gotta understanding. The bottom line

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>is that you have to set goals, but set obtainable goals.

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>That way you get wins.

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Like even if you're trying to lose weight, don't think

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta lose two hundred pounds one hundred pounds. I

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>gotta lose five pounds. Okay, you lose five pounds, that's

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a win. Okay, Now I gotta go for ten fifteen.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Get that that's a win, and those wins will keep

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>you motivated. But if you say I gotta lose fifty

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>pounds and you don't lose it the first week or

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 1>month or whatever you're trying to do, you're gonna give up.

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>So set obtainable goals and you'll move forward.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Don't expect too much.

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Shakespeare's fucking right the root of heartache, and I'm guilty

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of that. I went through a lot of over expecting

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>things and got my heart broke early. Now I don't

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>expect that much. This has been another ice cold fact

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>from me iced tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 1>some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and stay knowing that expectation will only make you unhappy.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:27.800
