Dan Martell - The lighthouse vs the tugboat

00:00:00.000 You can't show up and say to your kids, go for your dreams.

00:00:02.980 And then they watch you chill out, drink on weekends.

00:00:06.360 Yesterday at the event, he literally said this to me.

00:00:08.520 My kids don't listen to me.

00:00:09.680 And I looked at him.

00:00:10.500 I grabbed his soft jelly arms, man.

00:00:12.860 And I go, dude, you don't listen to you.

00:00:15.500 And you're upset because your kids aren't listening to you.

00:00:17.960 Go become the person he would listen to.

00:00:20.140 Work on you, man.

00:00:21.160 Go be the lighthouse.

00:00:22.340 The lighthouse does the same job as the tugboat.

00:00:24.440 There's a ship out in the ocean.

00:00:25.940 It's coming into the harbor.

00:00:27.200 You want to keep it safe.

00:00:28.140 The lighthouse can help thousands of ships and it doesn't take any effort.

00:00:33.120 It's just an example of where the boundaries are by being there.

00:00:37.460 Whereas the tugboat, which most people, they're like, hey, you should do this or stop doing that.

00:00:41.260 Don't be that person.
