Video Transcription:
Good morning, everyone.
How’s everyone doing? Excellent.
I’d just like to get started really quick by honoring my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, right for this amazing opportunity, right? So I just wanted to tell you my story really quick.
Once again, my name is Tony Cincinnati.
And at the age of 16, I came from the great country of Nigeria.I was just 16 years old.
And, uh, when Primerica found me, I was 19 years old in college, right? I’d only been in the country four years.
I didn’t know anything, and I didn’t know anyone, okay? Those are reasons why I could have used as excuses, right? But I even have bigger reasons, right? Because all the people in my family were registered nurses.My dad was a registered nurse, so guess what? I have three sisters.
They’re all nurses, right? But I just knew deep down inside of me that there was more to life than just having a job.
I’m like, I’ve seen my dad.
At the time I started Primerica, he was 65.
So I saw the end of what it looked like to stay a nurse for 30 years.
And I’m like, uh, there has to be more than that.
So sometimes you have to go against the grain.
You have to go against the norm.
You have to fight for what you believe in.
God put that dream and that goal in your heart, not to them.
So everybody’s not going to understand.
And sometimes if you don’t look crazy, you’re not doing bright America.You gotta be out of the norm because when you become an entrepreneur, you are Navy seal.
You are not a civilian.
It’s different.
It’s a different ball game, right? Another thing I wanted to just share with you guys really quick, right? That was a young man.
He passed away and went to heaven, right? And when he got to heaven at the door, the angels are there.They pulled out the sheets, right? The report card, you know, like the kids get report card from school, right? And so they pull up his report card and they look and say, okay, let’s see what you got done when it comes to your life potential.
Like how much did you actually get done? And on that paper, it said, uh, two percent.You only lived 2 percent of your life’s potential.
And he lived till he was age 85.
So that’s somebody who lived very long, would you agree with me? So I want you to say this to your neighbor, Life is too precious to be average and ordinary.
Let me tell you this, right? Everybody signs up for the 40 by 40 by 40 life sentence.And I’m going to take my time to explain what each 40 means.
We come here, we go to college, and we work for 40 hours.
That’s the first 40.
Everybody got me? Right? And we do that for 40 years, only looking forward to the weekends.
There has to be more to life than just that.
And then retire at age 65 with 40 percent of our original income.
Broke, busted, and disgusted.
Yay! Right? There has to be more to life than that.
Life is too precious to be average and ordinary.
You know, you can do a lot of things with your life.
You can change lives.
You can impact people.
You guys just heard from Renee Sawadogo.
Give Renee a warm round of applause once again, right? You know, Renee definitely takes away all our excuses.
When I met Renee, He was speaking no English.
Say to your neighbor, no English.
Came from a country where it’s pure French.
Imagine you drop me in France and tell me to go get a license in the French language.
I’m like, we? That’s all I know.
You understand?He takes away all our excuses.
Doesn’t speak any English, but eventually he passed the state exam, right? So what’s your excuse, right? Has a securities license, right? What’s your excuse? No English.
Has a securities license.
No English, regional vice president.
Don’t know anyone, don’t know anything, right? On track to making six figures with him and his beautiful wife.So there has to be more to life than just doing the 40 by 40 by 40.
I encourage you today to dream.
Dream big.
Think about the things that matter to not just you, but your family.
Live a life that extends beyond yourself.
It’s not just a paycheck where you can take care of you and your family.
When are you going to give your family the best?When are you going to give your kids the best? When are those kids going to be in private school? Don’t they deserve to be in private school? Right? When are you going to retire a parent? Don’t they decide to, don’t they deserve to retire? Right? When are you going to get the house of your dreams? The home of your dreams?When are you going to write your church a 30, 000 check? A 50, 000 check, right? When are you going to write your community a 100, 000 check just because you can? When are you going to live a life that extends beyond just, you know, let me eat, let me pay my bills.
Let me, you know, go back to the job.
That is not life.If we die doing that, we just did the rat race and that’s the end.
So if you’re ready to live a life of impact, why don’t you say to your neighbor, make sure you live to a hundred percent.
Proud to be a teammate guys.
I love you and I’ll see you all.
