You’re watching my
videos. You’re watching other people’s videos. And you watch other motivational
videos every damn fucking day and you wonder to yourself, how come you’re not
successful yet? What is missing? What is that missing key? Now what I’m gonna
share with you might shock you, it might disappoint you, you might be offended,
I don’t give a fuck. Let me give you the truth. You have to understand
something here. Whenever someone on YouTube making a video, when I’m giving you
advice, I am talking to you but I’m also talking-to millions of people. Because
of that, that advice cannot be so custom-tailored. When I’m talking to a
millennial who is still in school, trying to figure life out, or versus I’m
talking to a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, the advice I would give them is
very, very different. So one size doesn’t fit for all. So you have to learn
when you’re watching anyone, including me, you’re learning from anybody, you
need to learn to filter.
Does it make sense for
me? How do I take direct action? How did this apply to me? Don’t take anybody’s
advice as so literally. You need to learn to think for yourself, to think
independently, and hey you know what does that make sense? How would that work
in my situation? See the biggest problem is, there is no excuse, there is no
excuse to be dumb, for you to be dumb, with so much information out there that
you could find out things, you go to Google. You know back there when I had to
learn something when I had no money, I had to go to the library. I had a
library card. I would go to the library and I would borrow a whole bunch of books
and every single week, I would go back to the same library and I would borrow
different books. That’s how I learned because I was hungry for information, I
was hungry for experience, I was hungry for knowledge and now with you, you can
just go on YouTube, you can go to Google, you can just type, and you have
access to so much powerful knowledge and information. There’s no excuse to be
dumb. There’s no excuse not to know something.
You don’t have to like
it, but you cannot know it. Being dumb is just bad. Being dumb and broke,
that’s really bad. See I was broke, but I was never poor. You see, being broke,
that’s temporary, simply a cash flow problem, but being poor, that’s eternal,
that’s a mindset issue. That’s a difference between poor people and broke
people. I was broke but my mindset, I always knew what I could accomplish. The
excuse of not looking your best, not showing up professionally, that you’re not
dressing to perform, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
You have to understand it doesn’t matter how many videos that you watch, from
me, from anybody, there’s one thing you have to know, watching a video, you
will never get to where I am today just watching my videos, because when you’re
watching someone, when you’re learning different concepts, yes you are
learning, but there’s no skill being transferred. You could watch Michael
Jordan slam dunk a thousand times, you’re not gonna be Michael Jordan. You can
watch Michael Jackson perform a thousand times through video, you’re not gonna
be Michael Jackson because it’s no skill being transferred. With this kind of
media, the best you can get is what to do, at the very best. To me, when
there’s skill transfer, it means that now I’m breaking down, I’m not just
telling you what to do, I’m breaking it down, how I do it, why I do it, and
most importantly, how you can do it.
My fans who watch me and
follow me on social media, that’s good, that’s nice. But my students who learn
from me, who I skill transfer to them, why their success, why their
acceleration, why they accomplish so much more and so much faster than anybody
else because I’m transferring my skills to them. I’m not just giving those bits
and pieces of information, I’m downloading my skills to them, so they could do
and they could perform at a very, very high level, that’s the difference. So
you have two choices, do you keep watching videos and videos and videos and
videos, and that’s all nice and its entertaining, and sometimes I call that
it’s like mental porn, right its exciting, it’s cool, and you feel like
you’re doing something. You ain't doing shit. Unless you’re developing your
skill, unless you’re working on your skill, unless you’re getting better, it doesn’t
matter.
