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.
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
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.
00:01:16.080 It's called the devil, the adversary.
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.
00:03:25.700 The only thing you're missing is one freaking, somebody may say, stupid trophy.
00:03:30.080 Who cares about this?
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.
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.
00:05:24.020 You're an enemy.
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.
00:07:07.980 You're an enemy.
00:07:08.580 You're a target.
00:07:09.320 Let's have some fun together with bullies.
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.
00:07:30.660 You get in your own way all the damn time.
00:07:32.500 Every time.
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.
