Today I've got something really special and it's around one word, one key concept that when I think
00:00:05.820
back of all the things that I do that has caused me to be successful, it's this one word and the
00:00:11.720
word is courage. Courage is the way. Courage is required. Courage is the ingredient. Courage is
00:00:18.900
the missing piece. See, nobody does something big, risky without being scared. No, no, no. I want you
00:00:26.880
to understand i am scared most of the time when i'm doing because there's all these other things
00:00:31.600
that could fall apart but regardless i take a step forward i find the courage to do it courage is
00:00:38.160
making a decision not without fear but in spite of fear this weekend i was meditating and something
00:00:44.960
came to my mind that really kind of jarred me because i talk about these concepts i'm going to
00:00:50.720
share with you all the time and i had to be honest with myself that i wasn't living or playing into
00:00:57.440
the game as big as i possibly can and i know we can make up excuses well dan if you if you go after
00:01:02.080
bigger things and it might sacrifice your family time but dan if you go after bigger things it
00:01:06.320
might sacrifice your net worth dan if you go after big things might sacrifice your your your personal
00:01:11.760
time it might not be enjoyable you might say well i build all this stuff so that i can enjoy this
00:01:16.160
quality of life but here's the thing i was just playing small isn't that wild i was like man
00:01:24.640
why do i gotta have these thoughts these ideas well i know where they come from i know what
00:01:28.720
they're meant for i know how to translate the the download the transmission into action so
00:01:35.280
i call up my business partner roddy and i said we got to talk went to the gym on saturday
00:01:39.200
and afterwards we went for coffee and we sat down and i designed the business model the
00:01:46.820
transition of where i knew we had to go and trust me when i tell you that this is going to be easy
00:01:53.440
it's not when i tell you that it's not going to have massive consequence of the current structure
00:01:58.420
of the team it it will i'd love to tell you it's going to be easy no but i'll tell you that it's
00:02:06.160
going to be required because i know and that's what i want to encourage you to consider you
00:02:11.680
know when you have courage you know when you're taking action in spite of fear you know when you
00:02:17.120
are brave in your pursuit forward and you know when you're acting out of fear fear stands for
00:02:23.360
false evidence appearing real so here's what i want to encourage you to consider the first one
00:02:27.680
is this concept called ratios of risk ratios of risk when you start a business and you think about
00:02:34.400
like how much money you would put in to make a return well would you spend or invest ten dollars
00:02:39.040
to make a thousand dollars i'm assuming so okay well if you want to make a hundred thousand dollars
00:02:44.400
are you willing to invest ten thousand dollars some people have a hard time with that they're
00:02:49.200
like i want to make 100 grand this year in profit but i'm not willing to invest ten thousand well
00:02:54.240
see i work with a lot of people that you know these kids that come to me and i want to make
00:02:57.520
a million dollars well you're willing to invest ten thousand nope are you willing like they don't
00:03:02.640
even want to invest the time to read a book but they want to be millionaires i have guys that i
00:03:07.200
coach that want to make 100 million 600 million a billion but they don't understand there's a ratio
00:03:13.040
of risk there's a ratio of how much you're willing to put on the line for the return don't tell me
00:03:20.080
you want to build a hundred million dollar business but then shy away from a
00:03:23.760
five or ten million dollar investment see the difference a lot of people see my life and they're
00:03:28.720
like holy cow dan you have like a real team and like real offices in a real building and
00:03:34.000
like dedicated full-time not a bunch of part-time people all over in the philippines i'm like no
00:03:38.560
these are like seasoned ceos i have multiple people in my life that make seven figures
00:03:42.960
a year like real real executives real boards real investments real equity like
00:03:52.240
because the ratios of risk are required the ratios of risk are required write that down
00:03:58.480
really get familiar with this concept if i want to be a millionaire am i willing to invest
00:04:02.800
if i want to make 10 million am i willing to invest i want to make 100 million i will invest
00:04:07.040
see what happens if you use absolute dollar amounts then it gets scary but if you use ratios
00:04:11.520
of your goals then it's more relative and it's honest that's the first one if you want to have
00:04:17.040
courage you got to ask yourself is the ratio of a risk relative to what i'm trying to accomplish
00:04:23.120
that's number one number two is you gotta meet the moment you gotta decide if today's the day
00:04:30.560
where the moment is for you to step into your power to become the person you want to become
00:04:35.920
to go after the dream if it's right now like i want to tell you right now in this world there's
00:04:42.080
opportunities for you to go and create something that hasn't created before in a way that hasn't
00:04:46.720
existed to create it and you can do it right now my coach a year ago about a year ago he says to me
00:04:55.280
he goes if you're not a billionaire in the next five years i'll never talk to you again
00:05:02.960
well i didn't have a desire to be a billionaire i live an incredibly high quality of life
00:05:08.480
i really enjoy the life i live but he wasn't wrong he explained to me his thinking his thoughts
00:05:16.720
why he said that crazy part is i have it all on camera i was there with sam i created director
00:05:22.160
and videographer and he captured it all and i walked away a bit tormented because i was a
00:05:30.360
little frustrated why would he say that it's not what i asked him for advice on but in the same
00:05:36.120
moment i realized that i could i sat down i drew the diagram i drew the process i drew the thing
00:05:43.860
And I had to make the decision consciously to say, I got to meet my moment.
00:05:48.760
There's a moment in time right now, this world, for me, AI, Martel Ventures, AI Venture Studio,
00:05:55.840
incubating, launching, fostering, supporting companies nonstop.
00:06:08.520
and as soon as he challenged me to meet the moment to build a billion dollar company in five years
00:06:14.960
i sat down i drew the diagram and i figured out how to do it now i'm still on the process
00:06:21.400
but so far we're on pace it's wild so when's the last time you were asked to meet the moment did
00:06:29.680
you did you step up into it did you decide enough's enough i'm sick of tired of being mediocre
00:06:35.200
I want to be great I want to be one of the greats I want to go create something that's magical in
00:06:40.180
this world I want to go create something because of who you are like when's the last time you
00:06:45.460
realize that you're allowed to want to create something for no other reason other than the
00:06:50.140
fact that you know you can create it that you were meant to create it that you're alive you're
00:06:56.080
a creator you were born to create it is a big idea to ask yourself am I willing to meet the
00:07:06.560
because a lot of people have a hard time being courageous
00:07:09.880
because they are scared of what's the downside.
00:07:17.560
What if I offer to help somebody to be successful
00:07:31.940
then they do taking it for themselves they'd rather step out of their way to help other people
00:07:37.300
win than do the work to see them win interesting big reason is they don't feel worthy because
00:07:44.100
i mean they're just worried to let people down but here's what i know and this is why i call
00:07:47.700
it intentions of result your confidence the bravery the the courage comes from your intentions not
00:07:55.540
your possessions not your results not your accolades not the things you've done in the
00:07:59.300
past not your history all that stuff back there is not your worth is not your ability to step into
00:08:08.100
your power your intentions are look if you start a project with somebody you admire and you tell
00:08:14.500
them at the beginning hey i want to do this for you my desire is to see you win i want to i'm
00:08:18.420
going to put all my resources behind it there's a chance it may not work but i want you to know
00:08:21.860
my intentions are pure and i want to see you win if somebody said that to me and we were working
00:08:26.260
on something and it fell short i'd be like that's cool we tried see a lot of people don't even try
00:08:32.660
out of the fear of potentially hurting somebody or failing somebody or whatever but the truth is
00:08:37.620
is that if your intentions are good then the person won't be mad at you unless they're not
00:08:44.580
a nice person you probably don't want them in your life it's kind of a crazy idea but i want
00:08:51.380
to encourage you to consider that your intentions are your confidence your intentions is your
00:08:59.620
courage your intention is where your bravery comes from if you wake up every day make it about other
00:09:04.500
people and your intention is to help people and your intention to put yourself in places that
00:09:07.620
scare you but you decide to do that anyway and you go for it that's how you win so here's the thing
00:09:15.780
i want you to choose some area of your life it could be like in loving relationships if you're
00:09:20.820
single it could be financial if you're scared of rejection it could be something but i want you to
00:09:27.700
add a habit because i'm more interested in the habits not the hacks a lot of people ask me
00:09:31.780
what's hacked in to get to a million in my first year as a young person no no let's talk about
00:09:35.700
your habits so here's the habit to build courage whatever that area of your life is that you want
00:09:43.140
to amplify or grow i want you to make a commitment daily to putting yourself out there so for example
00:09:49.860
yesterday i was doing a car meetup with a bunch of kids and this kid came out to me as a marketing
00:09:54.740
agency and he's super nervous and he says i have a hard time talking to people i get super in my
00:09:58.500
head etc i said well you just gotta get more reps you gotta get exposure therapy the way you do that
00:10:04.580
is for him as he goes out and about in society he's gonna ask for a discount when he goes to buy
00:10:09.620
a coffee at starbucks and say do you guys do um do you guys do canadian discounts you do new do
00:10:14.660
you do nice guy discount i don't care what you say i want you to ask for a discount he's like really
00:10:18.100
i said yes you got to get reps if you're single this is my homework for you you have to approach
00:10:26.500
people and ask hey are you single hey do you come here often you need to talk to people it was super
00:10:32.900
awkward yesterday i was on my road bike and i stopped to get some starbucks and this woman
00:10:37.140
talked to me as i was waiting she asked about my clip-in pedals and we had small talk and i went
00:10:41.780
sat down to pull up my phone to get some work done before i jumped back on my bike and she came over
1.00
00:10:45.540
and she said hey excuse me you know i'm not sure is that a wedding ring are you married and i said
00:10:49.860
i'm very married very married um and i said thank you because obviously she was interested and she
00:10:56.340
was a very attractive athletic person and she goes you know it's really hard to meet other people
00:11:00.260
similar age that are into because i was wearing my my road biking gear they were athletic and i said
00:11:05.700
no i totally understand and i said to her and honestly kudos for asking because honestly most
00:11:12.820
women don't approach men most men definitely i mean most men are usually the ones that approach
00:11:17.380
women but i'm just saying in general if you want to change something in your life you have to ask
00:11:22.740
yourself what's the habit if i did every day would make it unreasonable for me not to achieve that
00:11:26.900
result where in my life do i have to add a habit to be more courageous that is your homework and
00:11:32.900
i want you to leave a comment below and let me know what it is where are you going to decide
00:11:38.420
enough's enough that the risk ratio needs an investment that the moment right now is meant to
00:11:48.100
be met and that your intention to win is all you need to be worthy of it tell me what habit you're
00:11:57.060
going to change. If you do that, it will change your life.
