Valuetainment - 10 Types of Enemies To Drive You In 2023

00:00:00.000 What if I told you what you're missing in 2023 is a real enemy?

00:00:03.320 You, you're missing an enemy.

00:00:04.720 You may have an enemy.

00:00:05.460 You're not thinking about your enemy.

00:00:06.400 What if I told you your business plan, goals, everything you're doing for 2023 logically

00:00:11.180 is not going to get the best out of you unless if you have a forced opposition or somebody

00:00:15.520 preventing you from having your dreams become a reality.

00:00:17.880 I'm going to break that down for you today with a few different stories about Messi,

00:00:21.020 Pele, Maradona, and hopefully you'll understand what I mean by you needing to have 10 or so

00:00:26.220 different types of enemies.

00:00:30.000 For some of you that are having a hard time embracing this concept of enemy, stick around.

00:00:40.580 You're going to realize you need an enemy.

00:00:42.480 Everybody has an enemy, including Christians. 1.00

00:00:44.660 Wait till I tell you they're enemies and it'll make sense to you.

00:00:47.020 I'm 23 years old.

00:00:48.220 My friends are telling me, let's go to the club.

00:00:50.180 Let's go to the club.

00:00:50.900 Let's go to the club.

00:00:51.700 Girls were coming to my place and I'm focused on a meeting I'm having the next day and they 0.74

00:00:56.380 want to stay till God knows what time and be a distraction to me.

00:00:59.220 That is a form of an enemy.

00:01:00.700 If you're trying to get in shape, your friends who are eating junk food and they're trying

00:01:04.600 to give it to you, that is a form of an enemy, opposition to your goal of having a six pack

00:01:08.860 by the time summer comes along.

00:01:10.260 And again, Christians claiming, well, this is not a Christian thing to do.

00:01:14.960 Christians have an enemy. 1.00

00:01:16.080 It's called the devil, the adversary. 0.93

00:01:17.640 It is an enemy.

00:01:18.440 You're fighting the adversary.

00:01:19.920 Every space has an enemy.

00:01:21.900 By the way, the bigger of a thing you want to do in your life, the bigger the enemies you're

00:01:26.440 going to need to have, or you're going to have, whether you like it or not.

00:01:29.160 I'll give you a story that just happened right now with the World Cup.

00:01:31.200 World Cup, who wins the World Cup?

00:01:32.780 Argentina wins the World Cup.

00:01:34.000 Who becomes the greatest of all time?

00:01:35.580 Guy named Messi.

00:01:36.320 Do you know in a meeting with Pele and Maradona a few years ago, Pele and Maradona are standing,

00:01:41.020 they forget that the mic is hot.

00:01:42.800 Pele is asking Maradona a question.

00:01:44.360 You should see this.

00:01:44.960 He says, hey, what can you tell me about Messi?

00:01:47.140 I don't know a lot about him.

00:01:48.260 What can you tell me about Messi?

00:01:49.920 Maradona, who is the hero?

00:01:51.260 He's the god of soccer.

00:01:52.940 In Argentina, tells Pele, yeah, he doesn't have a personality.

00:01:55.800 And then they start talking, talking.

00:01:57.000 He doesn't have a personality of a leader.

00:01:58.700 Maradona later on says, no one who goes to the bathroom 20 times before a game is a leader.

00:02:02.740 Messi's not a leader.

00:02:03.460 Messi's not a leader.

00:02:04.200 And then Messi, this World Cup, everybody kept saying, why is it that the first time

00:02:08.380 we're seeing Messi play a little angry?

00:02:10.080 Why is Messi playing with emotions?

00:02:11.680 Why is he playing this way?

00:02:12.760 Why is he talking the way he does?

00:02:14.620 The game with Netherlands goes in front of Van Gogh, and Van Gogh says, hey, you guys cannot win

00:02:18.700 with penalties.

00:02:19.260 We're going to beat Argentina with penalties.

00:02:21.020 And Messi's the first to kick the goal, to score it in the penalty shots.

00:02:24.740 While Brazil one day lost, Neymar went to go last because he was already out of the game.

00:02:28.200 But Messi was in the game.

00:02:29.160 He scores the first.

00:02:30.140 And then he goes in front of Van Gogh.

00:02:31.480 He's standing like this.

00:02:32.700 Everybody's saying, why is Messi doing this in front of Van Gogh?

00:02:34.880 And if you look at Van Gogh, he's looking this way as if Van Gogh doesn't remember.

00:02:37.920 But Van Gogh is also driven by enemies.

00:02:40.300 This was a representation of a player 20 years prior to that named Riquelme, that Van Gogh

00:02:45.280 God, who was a mentor type of a guy to Messi, whom Van Gogh publicly humiliated.

00:02:51.380 And it's Messi's way of saying, I remember.

00:02:54.540 Boom.

00:02:55.380 Riquelme.

00:02:55.980 And then he wins.

00:02:57.000 He proved Maradona wrong.

00:02:58.380 He proved everybody wrong.

00:02:59.680 And he proved himself and his country right by now being the greatest of all time.

00:03:03.120 But maybe Maradona was right and he's driving him.

00:03:05.340 Who knows?

00:03:05.740 The point is, he had to find a real enemy deep down inside to win the prize you want

00:03:11.300 to be the greatest of all time, which is Messi now.

00:03:13.660 Argument is over with.

00:03:14.900 Ronaldo went to Saudi Arabia, signed a half a billion dollar contract, and he's doing

00:03:18.300 what he's doing.

00:03:19.080 And Messi, imagine being worth $600 million.

00:03:22.040 You have every single record possible, pretty much.

00:03:24.580 You have all these trophies. 1.00

00:03:25.700 The only thing you're missing is one freaking, somebody may say, stupid trophy. 1.00

00:03:30.080 Who cares about this? 1.00

00:03:31.180 But he needed that to become the greatest of all time.

00:03:33.760 He had to tap into a real enemy to produce the juice, to go after this, because the

00:03:38.640 pain, the leadership, the unification of a team required to achieve this is so above

00:03:44.860 what you really think it is.

00:03:46.480 The only thing you can do is you need to find a real enemy that's going to produce those

00:03:49.220 emotions for you.

00:03:50.360 So now let's talk about you.

00:03:51.640 Who are your enemies?

00:03:52.420 Let me give you a few different types of enemies.

00:03:54.460 And you make a decision who drives you and who motivates you.

00:03:57.440 One form of an enemy is an ex.

00:03:59.220 An ex who left you for another man.

00:04:01.360 An ex who left you for another woman.

00:04:03.220 An ex who didn't work out.

00:04:04.940 An ex who did something to you, betrayed you, hurt you.

00:04:07.520 It's their way of saying, I believe there's better men out there than you.

00:04:11.880 I believe there's better women out there than you. 1.00

00:04:14.380 Because if she didn't believe that, why would she do what she did?

00:04:17.720 Hello, that is one form of an enemy.

00:04:19.680 You think you have an enemy?

00:04:21.080 That's one.

00:04:21.700 By the way, this doesn't mean you call her and you text her, you tell her what she

00:04:24.120 is and all this other stuff.

00:04:25.380 That's not what this means.

00:04:26.560 This stays here.

00:04:27.340 No one needs to know.

00:04:28.080 It's you.

00:04:29.260 You got a point to prove.

00:04:30.580 Maybe she's right, maybe she's not.

00:04:31.840 But you got to do your part.

00:04:33.180 Another enemy could be an ex-business partner.

00:04:35.140 Somebody that you did a 50-50 partnership, it didn't work out.

00:04:37.880 And you were doing all the work.

00:04:39.060 He wasn't doing all the work.

00:04:40.240 And you were making the money for the company.

00:04:41.860 He was not.

00:04:42.520 Didn't work out.

00:04:43.240 You got a bankruptcy.

00:04:44.140 Something happened to your credit.

00:04:45.260 That is another form of an enemy.

00:04:46.520 An enemy could be a relative.

00:04:47.980 Family member.

00:04:48.680 A mom, dad, sibling.

00:04:49.820 Somebody said that you can't make it.

00:04:51.360 You're nobody.

00:04:51.920 You're just a regular guy.

00:04:52.960 Those words that a family member or relative said, that is a form of an enemy.

00:04:57.800 An enemy could be a manipulator.

00:04:59.240 Somebody that came in between your family.

00:05:01.020 I got a lot of manipulators in my family that came in between my mom and my dad.

00:05:04.340 They were manipulators that came between my family.

00:05:06.980 They were enemies to me as a 10-year-old kid when both of these sides would say, oh, he's Armenian.

00:05:11.280 The other side would say, he's a Syrian.

00:05:12.780 And I would tell him, there's only two people that matter in my life, my mom and my dad,

00:05:15.700 and you're not a part of it.

00:05:16.640 The only other person is my sister.

00:05:18.340 You guys are relatives.

00:05:19.440 I'm only good to you because of him.

00:05:21.220 And I'm only good to you because of my mom.

00:05:23.000 Nothing more than that. 0.95

00:05:24.020 You're an enemy. 0.98

00:05:24.640 You split up my family.

00:05:26.380 That drove this 10, 12, 14-year-old kid because there's a form of an enemy.

00:05:31.060 Another type of enemy is somebody that quit on you.

00:05:32.980 Maybe somebody was working with you.

00:05:34.220 And all of a sudden, they're like, oh, you know what?

00:05:35.680 I'm not going to work with you.

00:05:36.660 They go to a different place to work with another person.

00:05:38.460 You know what they're saying?

00:05:39.160 There's better opportunities out there than working with you.

00:05:41.380 That is a form of an enemy.

00:05:42.760 Imagine you're a sports team.

00:05:44.200 And a guy says, I want to go play with the other guy.

00:05:46.380 A guy named Tucker leaves Miami to go to Philadelphia to play with Joel Embiid.

00:05:51.820 Jimmy Butler goes out there on Twitter, calls him out on Twitter because he jumped from team

00:05:56.620 to team to team to team to team.

00:05:58.180 And I'm a fan of this guy.

00:05:59.280 He's a great defender.

00:06:00.220 But to Butler, Tucker's an enemy.

00:06:02.400 You leave me to go over there and you put a nice word?

00:06:04.620 No, publicly you're saying, I think I have a higher chance of winning a championship with

00:06:08.820 Philadelphia than I do with what?

00:06:10.540 With Miami.

00:06:11.220 That is a form of an enemy if you go to a different place.

00:06:14.220 Another one, somebody that forces things on you.

00:06:16.660 It could be an institution, a government that tells you better do this or else.

00:06:20.120 Force, force, force, force, force, force.

00:06:21.960 That is a form of an enemy.

00:06:24.060 What do you want to do about it?

00:06:25.260 I was watching Ice Cube say something about he got offered to do a movie, $9 million.

00:06:30.180 He had to turn it down because they forced him.

00:06:31.780 He says, they were forcing me to take the jab.

00:06:33.820 So I had to turn down the movie, $9 million.

00:06:36.760 You should hear when Ice Cube says this on a podcast.

00:06:39.520 It's an obvious enemy for Ice Cube.

00:06:41.820 You think Ice Cube is somebody that's driven by force or freedom.

00:06:45.280 He wants to be left alone.

00:06:46.940 That is his enemy.

00:06:48.240 Okay.

00:06:48.420 It's a form of an enemy.

00:06:49.720 Another one, maybe bullies.

00:06:50.840 You may not like bullies.

00:06:52.260 Maybe you were bullied.

00:06:53.220 Maybe you were bullied in business.

00:06:54.660 I was bullied as a kid and I was bullied in business as well.

00:06:57.380 I played both roles and then I realized what these guys were doing and I learned their

00:07:01.160 games and I saw these big behemoth Goliaths in the marketplace that I'm competing against.

00:07:05.640 I said, I got your game.

00:07:06.880 No problem. 0.69

00:07:07.980 You're an enemy.

00:07:08.580 You're a target. 0.63

00:07:09.320 Let's have some fun together with bullies. 0.96

00:07:11.520 Maybe that drives you.

00:07:12.980 It may not drive everybody, but maybe bullies drive you to become strong and they leave you

00:07:17.540 alone.

00:07:17.780 Maybe you don't even want to bully them back.

00:07:19.300 You just want to be so strong that they know they cannot mess with you and that drives you.

00:07:24.360 That could be a form of an enemy.

00:07:25.760 Now, these other three are all on you because your enemy may be your own ego.

00:07:29.600 You are your own enemy. 0.99

00:07:30.660 You get in your own way all the damn time. 1.00

00:07:32.500 Every time. 0.99

00:07:33.160 By the way, Alexander the Great, I have met the enemy.

00:07:35.820 It is I.

00:07:36.420 That statement by Alexander applies to many of us, probably most of us because we get in

00:07:41.400 our own way of somebody's really trying to lead you and give you direction.

00:07:44.380 You're not receiving it because your ego is getting in the way.

00:07:46.700 Somebody's really trying to challenge you to kind of become a better leader, but you're

00:07:49.340 fighting it.

00:07:49.900 You don't think they're on your side.

00:07:51.200 That is also a form of having an enemy.

00:07:53.080 Another mindset could be that's also on you as an enemy is your scarcity mindset.

00:07:56.600 You're afraid.

00:07:57.320 You're secretly scared.

00:07:58.640 You're secretly that six-year-old kid that is afraid.

00:08:01.860 You know how you used to think you had monsters under your bed?

00:08:04.320 You may be 42 years old today and you still have a form of thinking there's monsters under

00:08:08.660 your bed.

00:08:09.260 You have a scarcity mindset that's holding you back.

00:08:12.060 That is a form of an enemy that is you versus you.

00:08:15.820 And last but not least, your last enemy.

00:08:17.640 You ready?

00:08:18.120 You're simply content.

00:08:19.240 You're content.

00:08:19.940 Here's a guy named Messi's worth $600 million.

00:08:21.980 Imagine the cars he's got in the garage, beautiful family, kids, goes to restaurants, doesn't pay

00:08:26.320 for it.

00:08:26.820 Everybody wants to have dinner with him.

00:08:28.480 Everybody wants to meet him.

00:08:29.900 Everybody wants to interview him.

00:08:31.700 Everybody wants his attention.

00:08:34.440 Living a dream life.

00:08:36.480 Anybody in the world would say Messi's life is a dream life.

00:08:40.460 But to Messi, deep down inside by himself, everybody tells him how great he is.

00:08:44.260 By himself, when he's in the bathroom, nobody's running.

00:08:46.520 He says, you're content.

00:08:47.540 You've convinced yourself you don't need this trophy.

00:08:49.840 You know how sometimes you talk to NBA players?

00:08:51.500 Do you need to win the NBA championship to be considered one of the greatest point guards

00:08:54.900 of all time?

00:08:55.400 I don't think I need that championship.

00:08:57.180 Contentment.

00:08:58.060 The language.

00:08:58.560 Even Barkley, who never won a championship, he himself said, if you don't win a championship,

00:09:03.760 you can't be in those categories.

00:09:05.400 You have to win a championship.

00:09:07.200 Barkley, who could manipulate it to kind of favor himself, said, no, you need to win a

00:09:11.700 championship to get that level of respect, right?

00:09:14.120 Messi has to sit there and say, I think you're content, man.

00:09:17.200 He's saying it to himself.

00:09:18.580 Nobody else can tell him that.

00:09:19.760 Who's going to tell Messi you're content?

00:09:21.580 Tell me one person qualified to tell Messi he's content.

00:09:24.540 There's only one person qualified to tell him that.

00:09:26.540 Only one.

00:09:27.220 It's himself, and maybe you're content with where you are, and you're like not willing

00:09:31.440 to recreate yourself and improve, and you go into a new year, another contentment type

00:09:35.380 of a, I'm doing okay, I'm doing better than my dad, I'm doing better than my brother,

00:09:39.000 I'm doing better than my mom, I'm doing better than my classmate, and you're content.

00:09:42.760 By the way, that just may be your number one enemy, but whether it's any of the ones I

00:09:47.920 just shared with, or the first one, you may want to make a list of it.

00:09:51.220 You know how many times I've done this?

00:09:52.300 Names that drove me 20 years ago, I don't even think about today.

00:09:55.540 Things that drove me 15 years ago as enemies today, I forgot about it today.

00:09:59.520 I'm reminding myself while I'm making this video today, and I'm telling you some of these

00:10:03.040 stories.

00:10:03.800 The clubs, my friends, I have two names in my mind.

00:10:06.580 Names that drove me 10 years ago don't drive me today.

00:10:09.000 Or things on this list from five years ago, but I created a vision board last week, and

00:10:13.100 this crazy vision board that I was making last week had faces on it that I would have

00:10:17.360 never put on a vision board, because I am more driven by enemies that are holding my

00:10:25.340 kids back from their dreams becoming a reality with a certain socialist mindset or trying to

00:10:29.820 impose certain beliefs on them.

00:10:31.040 Those are enemies that generate incredible energy for me.

00:10:33.700 At 44 years old, while I'm the wealthiest I've ever been, I have the best life I've ever

00:10:36.800 had.

00:10:37.140 But I need those for myself.

00:10:39.580 So if Messi needs it, if Musk, the richest man in the world, needs it, if people like

00:10:45.020 myself needs it, maybe you need to do this one.

00:10:47.620 What do you think?

00:10:48.420 So take a sheet of paper, take the PDF from today on 10 different types of enemies, and

00:10:52.840 start writing things next to it.

00:10:54.400 Names and all that stuff.

00:10:55.580 Anyways.

00:10:56.100 So if you want to get the PDF from today's episode, click here so you can make the list

00:10:59.840 of your enemies.

00:11:00.400 Or watch another video I did, I want to say four or five years ago, titled, How to Go Up

00:11:04.680 Against the Goliath of your industry.

00:11:07.020 If you've never watched that video, click here to watch it.

00:11:09.320 Take care, everybody.

00:11:10.100 Good luck with your enemies.
