00:01:48.820
your dreams are unrealistic or who do you think you are guys all of this shit all the shit that you hear
00:01:57.500
every single successful person that you have ever come in contact with ever seen on the internet ever seen

on fucking tv there's people that you want to be like the lives that you want to live they have all heard
00:02:12.060
those same things i heard those same things it isn't until it becomes absolutely crystal clear that
00:02:20.300

00:02:26.600
because all of a sudden these friends from back in the old days who used to criticize you which most
00:02:33.660
of you are hearing that right now are going to come around and they're going to say man dude i always
00:02:39.340
believed in you man i'm i'm really proud of you and they may be proud of you but they certainly
00:02:44.040
didn't fucking always believe in you and you'll always know that and this serves a really good
00:02:48.680
lesson for everybody and that's this most motherfuckers don't know shit okay you guys listen to these
00:02:56.460
people who have never been around winning have never won themselves have never touched winning have
00:03:01.980
never smelled winning have never experienced winning and you listen to them about what's possible
00:03:07.440
and let them discourage you from where it is you're trying to go guys that is the dumbest fucking
00:03:13.520
thing you could ever do and more people waste their lives because of this than any other thing more
00:03:20.880
people ruin their dreams and end up living a life that they are super unhappy with super pissed about
00:03:27.320
super frustrated with because they listened to the wrong people you cannot expect people
00:03:35.440
who have been told their entire lives that success is not for them you cannot listen to people who
00:03:43.800
have been told their entire lives that rich people are evil you cannot listen to people who've been told
00:03:50.860
their entire lives that you have to be born into success to actually have success you cannot listen to
00:03:58.360
these people these people do not know what the fuck they're talking about and if you listen to them
00:04:03.720
and you value what it is they say because you like them or they're your friend or they're your cousin
00:04:08.920
or maybe they're your parents i don't know but if you listen to them and actually stop working that's
00:04:15.100
what kills your dream that's what will cost you everything that's what's going to keep you from
00:04:20.400
becoming whatever it is you're trying to become so you guys have to understand this is part of the
00:04:26.220
process when i first started out guys i was 19 years old bro the first three years i made fucking zero
00:04:33.260
dollars the first day we sold seven dollars the next day we sold zero and the third day we sold
00:04:39.820
23 fucking dollars worth of product all right i've heard it all i've heard all the criticisms i've heard
00:04:46.760
all the shit talk i've heard all the bullshit and guess what every single one of those motherfuckers
00:04:53.120
that told me that shit is doing the same shit they were doing on the day that they fucking told me that
00:04:58.380
and if you want that for your life that's fine if you want to be mediocre like everybody else
00:05:03.220
that's fine but don't bitch about it later because becoming successful that dream that you have
00:05:08.620
is going to require all of your effort it's going to require all of your energy it's going to require
00:05:14.780
total obsession because the reality of what we are doing in this life is competition okay you may not
00:05:24.100
see it that way and other people may tell you well that's not the way to look at life but that's
00:05:28.600
reality that is the way it is whether you're working a job you're trying to build a company you're trying
00:05:34.580
to become an excellent athlete you're trying to become an amazing musician it doesn't matter the best
00:05:40.660
win and losers kick rocks this is the way it fucking works okay so do not listen to people do not
00:05:48.300
value their input if they've never done it do not take what they say to heart or if you do take it
00:05:55.060
to heart take the shit that they say and put it up there on your shoulder and start forming a chip
00:06:01.040
get a big motherfucking chip on your shoulder so that every time someone says something negative
00:06:06.720
or says you can't or says you won't or says you're not capable you take their words and you put it right
00:06:12.700
there on your fucking shoulder and you and you spend the rest of your motherfucking time trying
00:06:17.920
to become successful no matter what the fuck it takes so you get the opportunity to shove those
00:06:24.480
words down their motherfucking throat this is the attitude that you must take because dude the
00:06:29.840
resistance is always going to be there you guys who are young you have the biggest opportunity ever
00:06:36.480
to become successful at a faster rate than anybody that's ever lived before you technology exists
00:06:43.440
today with the internet and social media that allows us to do what took me 12 fucking years to do you can
00:06:51.580
do that in three years i never had that opportunity and you do but a lot of you are too busy because
00:06:57.840
you're listening to motherfuckers who are determined to lose they are going to spend their entire lives
00:07:04.880
pointing the finger looking at talking about all the people who are doing more than them and they're
00:07:11.820
going to sit there and pretend like they're somehow morally superior for it let me ask you a question
00:07:18.460
how much morally superior can you actually be by not exercising the potential that you have as a human
00:07:27.560
being do you really think there's anything moral or good about letting yourself drift down
00:07:34.840
into loserville into mediocrity into being less than what you could be because your fucking loser
00:07:42.380
friends tell you that you need to be like them or they tell you that you're too good for them now or
00:07:48.220
they guilt you into going out on nights where you should be pouring into your dream because let me tell
00:07:53.740
you something bro there is no nobility in being a fucking loser there's nothing cool about it there's
00:08:02.320
nothing funny about it i see these videos of people walking around in the streets asking people basic
00:08:08.080
questions like who the president united states is or how many states there are and people are saying oh
00:08:13.040
well there's 62 states mickey mouse is the president and you got thousands of comments laughing their ass
00:08:19.500
off bro it's not funny it's not funny because they're intentionally indoctrinating the youth you guys
00:08:26.380
into being mediocre into being fucking less than into living a life that you're going to regret
00:08:33.760
because they're making it cool to be a loser this was no different than what it was when i was in
00:08:39.560
school bro like when i was in school you sat at the back of the school bus if you were the cool kid
00:08:44.760
all the motherfuckers that sat at the back of the school bus they're all fucking losing now
00:08:49.320
every if they're even still alive being real okay you guys have to understand that pursuing excellence
00:08:58.640
has never been easier than it is right now because of the opportunity that we have through technology
00:09:04.900
and getting to where you want to go is going to require you to put fucking fingers in your ears
00:09:12.320
and ignore the advice from motherfuckers that don't know okay your friends that you have right now
00:09:19.980
as a young man or a young woman those people maybe out of the 30 friends you think you have you might
00:09:26.300
still have one of them in 10 years and that's if you're fucking lucky so don't take your life for
00:09:32.480
granted don't take their words to heart and if you do take them to heart put them up on your shoulder
00:09:38.140
and spend the rest of your time using as fuel because the reality is you have an opportunity
00:09:43.900
and that opportunity is only going to happen once and that opportunity is you can either work your
00:09:49.220
fucking ass off you can become great you can set an example for everybody around you to know what it
00:09:54.620
looks like feels like smells like to win okay and you can live an amazing life and by the way that's
00:09:59.920
going to be very fucking hard or you can not try you can be like everybody else you can reside
00:10:08.000
yourself to being mediocre you can believe the shit that you were told by your fucking lazy ass
00:10:12.560
teachers and you can lose and that's very hard too the reality is no matter what path you take
00:10:20.180
you're going to have a hard path to go on i don't know about you but i would choose the hard that's going
00:10:28.240
to give me a payoff over the hard that's going to leave me depressed frustrated angry bitter unfulfilled
00:10:36.000
my entire fucking life and the thing that you need to realize right now is that that's how most people
00:10:42.580
choose to live your life so of course they're going to fucking hate you when you start to win
00:10:48.140
you're the shining example on the hill of what the fuck they could be of course they're going to hate
00:10:55.120
you it comes with the territory and motherfuckers are hating on you it means you're fucking winning
00:10:59.740
that's the society that we're in so stop boo-hooing about how many people are talking shit and start
00:11:06.420
seeing it as a badge of honor that you are actually doing something and they fucking aren't
00:11:11.280
