Video Transcription:
Super.
Shout out to Danielle and Key Auto and their empire Builders.
Shout out To Chris a Chong and the A unit.
But most of all, power builders.
All right, let’s get to it real quick.
Right? So what I want to talk about today, y’all, is mental toughness, right? Because there’s three lies that we, that kill Ox.
Success and productivity, right? When it comes to our success, y’all, it’s not that we don’t know what we’re doing.
I got you.
All right.
It’s not the lack of time.
It’s not because you lack talent.
It’s not because you lack the knowledge, the experience, right.
The reality is the mindset issue.
So lie number one.
We tell ourselves, y’all, I don’t have the resources to get it done.
Believe it or not, nobody has the resources to do anything.
Great.
Done.
Nobody.
Right? Unfortunately, this is the mindset.
The vast majority of the people that we know think about.
Think about our friends.
Think about the people around us.
Oh, I can’t do that because I don’t have those resources.
Excuse me, have you not met our RVP, SVP, SNSDs and whatnot? Have you not met our amazing leaders? They didn’t come here with the resources.
What they came in was a mindset that this is where we’re going to do and get it done.
Lie number two, that we tell ourselves, I’m too tired.
I’m tired.
I won’t go to sleep.
I’m tired right now.
But we have to remind ourselves, right? Every single thing that we have in our lives.
This microphone, this projection, whatever your phone that you have, someone created that when they were tired.
So who are you to say that you’re too tired to get it done? Like you’re going to tell me you can’t go to RVP because you’re tired? Aren’t your kids tired of being broke? Aren’t your kids tired of hearing you say no all the time? I’m sorry.
Listen, unless we get things done right away, we’re going to be tired in the grave.
Listen, being tired is about being normal.
Think about every normal person that you know in your life.
They always say that they’re tired.
But the great ones, like Chris Akong, they don’t get tIred.
Harvey Grahalis, they don’t get tired.
They tell me, I say, Chris, when you’re on the grind, how often do you sleep? He says about 4 hours.
But a lot of us are saying, hey, I need 8 hours of beauty sleep.
Y’all look in the mirror lately? I’m just saying, right? And last but not least, lie number three, that we tell ourselves that stop our success, y’all, this can wait till tomorrow.
Y’all know what I’m talking about.
It could wait until tomorrow.
This is the biggest lie and this is what stops us from growing.
I have something that I say.
It’s our crybaby voice.
It’s in our head.
It’s in our minds.
And a cry baby voice, it doesn’t tell you that you’re going to fail.
It doesn’t tell you that you’re not going to make it.
What it tells you is we’re going to delay what’s going to come to you.
It’s going to delay.
Because think about it.
If a crybaby voice tells you that you’re going to fail, you’re going to fight it.
But if that voice inside your head say, hey, you know what? You worked a little bit hard today.
You’re tired today.
You say you want to get out 100 codes in a base shop like no one else has had, okay? You’re going to stop.
You don’t need to do that.
But the great ones like Keith and Daniel, Oto, they understand.
We can’t wait till tomorrow because tomorrow is not promised.
We are in a life insurance business.
I’m sorry.
When is tomorrow? Granted, it’s not going to happen.
So why I understand this, y’all, is that these three lies right here are the reason why a lot of us, and including myself, is not there yet.
Because we keep telling ourselves the same exact thing.
Now, if you are lying to yourself with these three lies, remember, the first one is, I don’t have the resource to get it done.
The second is, I’m too tired to handle this.
And the third is it could wait till tomorrow.
If you’re using any of these excuses in your business, you’re going to delay your gratification, your success, and you will never, ever realize your potential, your greatness and your happiness.
Man, I did on time.
I’m fired up.
Let’s go.
