Dan Martell - My work ethic is a reflection of my gratitude

00:00:00.000 I'm laying on my couch.

00:00:01.180 My wife's next to me.

00:00:02.140 I get a text message with a screenshot from my assistant, Ann.

00:00:05.560 Three explosion emojis with the screenshot.

00:00:08.620 And it says, Mr. Martell, Tony Robbins would like to invite you to speak at Business Mastery.

00:00:13.940 I jumped off of the couch and I'm just jumping up and down the living room.

00:00:17.100 I go, yeah, yeah.

00:00:18.220 And she's like, what?

00:00:19.120 And I'm like, holy cow, you won't even believe it.

00:00:22.160 I said, Tony Robbins just invited me to speak on stage.

00:00:25.120 It doesn't make sense.

00:00:26.020 I grew up in a town of 100,000 people in Eastern Canada.

00:00:28.840 I was a drug addict.

00:00:29.660 I went to jail twice.

00:00:30.940 I wasn't even supposed to be alive.

00:00:32.800 How do you go from that to 27 years later,

00:00:35.480 being asked to speak on the stage by the go?

00:00:38.320 God had plans for me, and I just know that every day I wake up,

00:00:41.660 I say my work ethic is a reflection of my gratitude.

00:00:44.520 People don't get it.

00:00:45.400 Why do you wake up at four in the morning if you don't have to?

00:00:47.320 Why do you do this if you don't have to?

00:00:48.920 You don't understand.

00:00:49.700 It's because I don't have to that I honor the fact that I get to.
