Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up to SiZ 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 helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from one of the og
Speaker 1: knowledge droppers, Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest writer in
Speaker 1: the English language. His thirty nine plays have been translated
Speaker 1: into every major language and are still quoted around the
Speaker 1: world today, even though they were written into fifteen and
Speaker 1: sixteen hundreds. This is one of its lesser known quotes
Speaker 1: that still has all the gems. Expectation is the root
Speaker 1: of heartache. The bottom line of that is, if you
Speaker 1: have unrealistic expectations or expectations or situations that aren't in
Speaker 1: your control, you're going to be disappointed pretty close one
Speaker 1: hundred percent at the time.
Speaker 2: Have humble expectations.
Speaker 1: Always do worst case scenarios, like if I'm trying to
Speaker 1: sell something. Say I'm trying to sell a shirt and yeah,
Speaker 1: I got ten thousand people out there, that fuck wouldn't
Speaker 1: be But I'm gonna go for the worst case scenarios,
Speaker 1: like even if we only sell out of ten thousand,
Speaker 1: can we move five hundred? And that's a low percentage.
Speaker 1: But with that you created something that you can hit.
Speaker 1: And when you add that up, if you say, okay,
Speaker 1: ten down, that's be five thousand bucks. Then anything above
Speaker 1: that will be a victory. If you set your expectations
Speaker 1: really high, you got ten thousand people, we're gonna sell
Speaker 1: five thousand, You're pretty much gonna be let down. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's better to underpromise and overproduce. Don't set people's expectations
Speaker 1: so so high, because you're setting yourself up for failure
Speaker 1: unless you're a con artist. Now, con artists will always
Speaker 1: come in set high expectations, try to get a mon
Speaker 1: grab out of you. That's why when I meet with
Speaker 1: people and they have these incredible expectations for whatever deal
Speaker 1: they're talking to me about. If the expectation is too high,
Speaker 1: I know they're lying. I know they're full of shit.
Speaker 1: Certain things in business that doesn't happen. Whenever somebody says
Speaker 1: it's going to be easy, I know they're lying because
Speaker 1: I have not figured out an easy way to get
Speaker 1: When they come back with, yeah, we're going to do this,
Speaker 1: and the numbers are just too high.
Speaker 2: That's bullshit, or they're delusional.
Speaker 1: So learn to set low expectations, and that way you
Speaker 1: can actually always head your bet to where you can win.
Speaker 1: Because you're saying, you know what, even if we only
Speaker 1: do this, we're still going to make a profit. Then
Speaker 1: if you manage to out do your expectations, well, god
Speaker 1: damn it, you want you're happy. You have a reason
Speaker 1: to pop that champagne bottle because you push past it.
Speaker 1: But Shakespeare said, it's the root of all heartache. That's
Speaker 1: cold shake no man, you know, expecting too much out
Speaker 1: of somebody, they will always let you down.
Speaker 2: Just go for the bare minimum.
Speaker 1: Hey, And you'll hear a lot of business people say, well,
Speaker 1: even if this happens, a low, low estimate will win.
Speaker 1: Now you're talking. Now, we gotta understanding. The bottom line
Speaker 1: is that you have to set goals, but set obtainable goals.
Speaker 2: That way you get wins.
Speaker 1: Like even if you're trying to lose weight, don't think
Speaker 1: I gotta lose two hundred pounds one hundred pounds. I
Speaker 1: gotta lose five pounds. Okay, you lose five pounds, that's
Speaker 1: a win. Okay, Now I gotta go for ten fifteen.
Speaker 1: Get that that's a win, and those wins will keep
Speaker 1: you motivated. But if you say I gotta lose fifty
Speaker 1: pounds and you don't lose it the first week or
Speaker 1: month or whatever you're trying to do, you're gonna give up.
Speaker 1: So set obtainable goals and you'll move forward.
Speaker 2: Don't expect too much.
Speaker 1: Shakespeare's fucking right the root of heartache, and I'm guilty
Speaker 1: of that. I went through a lot of over expecting
Speaker 1: things and got my heart broke early. Now I don't
Speaker 1: expect that much. This has been another ice cold fact
Speaker 1: from me iced 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 expectation will only make you unhappy.
Speaker 2: I sees Daily Game.
