Dan Martell - Work on yourself until you're ready to receive the opportunities you've been asking for

00:00:00.000 I remember one time I was talking to a friend, and he had an opportunity, he wanted to grow.

00:00:04.580 But the fear he had, well, if I say yes to this massive opportunity and triple my business,

00:00:09.960 then it means I won't see my kids.

00:00:11.560 If you're a parent and you have that belief, there's zero chance you're going to step on the gas.

00:00:16.480 Because essentially, it's like me holding a knife to your throat and say, step forward.

00:00:20.120 Well, if I step forward, you're going to stab me in the neck, so I'm not going to do it.

00:00:22.660 It's no different.

00:00:23.540 What am I scared I'm going to sacrifice if I am successful?

00:00:27.060 So here's what I told my friend.

00:00:28.380 Truth is, you can do this without sacrificing your time with your kids.

00:00:33.100 You're just not good enough yet.

00:00:35.300 You might not have wanted to hear that, but that was the answer.

00:00:37.680 I said, because you're friends with a guy that's done it.

00:00:39.900 You've seen me do this, and I've not sacrificed my time.

00:00:43.220 What you gotta sacrifice is literally laying around all day.

00:00:46.820 It's watching Netflix, procrastinating.

00:00:49.000 It's not being diligent with your calendar.

00:00:50.740 When you end up sacrificing for your family, it's because you did do those things.
