00:00:09.240

00:00:17.320
I'm Patrick Bidwi, host of Value Taming, and in today's Motivation Monday video, I'm going
00:00:28.640
It's 198 players that were drafted before Tom Brady.
00:00:33.200
Think about this, 2000 NFL draft, he is picked.
00:00:37.660
Number 199, comes out of Michigan, doesn't look good.
00:00:40.840
When you look at his body, you're kind of like, ah, it is what it is.
00:00:43.120
In that draft, I want to say, LeVar Arrington was picked, Peter Warwick was on that list
00:00:47.920
as a wide receiver from Florida State, Brian Urlacher was on that list, Jamal Lewis, who
00:00:53.020
once ran 295 yards, his record was broken by Adrian Peterson, 296.
00:00:57.400
He was on that list, Jay Abrams on that list, Janikowski on that list, Chad Pennington was
00:01:02.980
the first quarterback, and this guy was picked, 199.
00:01:15.200
They're saying, you're going to retire, you're going to do this, he wins a sixth championship
00:01:19.620
I was a diehard Buffalo Bills fan when I came here from Iran.
00:01:22.800
I was a Thurman Thomas fan, Don Beebe, Bryce Popp, Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly.
00:01:28.780
We, you know, these guys, they used to have Drew Bledsoe.
00:01:32.580
He comes in, he steps in, and then he becomes Tom Brady, wins six championships in 18 seasons.
00:01:37.000
And so when you look at this, this is what I think about when I think about Tom Brady.
00:01:41.040
There's a lot of ways you can say, oh, he's the goat, he's this, he's that.
00:01:43.260
I think he's the goat of goats because it's very difficult to do what he did in the NFL.
00:01:47.660
A lot of people get into the NFL for the fame, for the prestige, for the party, and for the girls.
00:01:54.100
Oh, man, I'm going to have so many different girls.
00:01:58.800
Dog, we're going to party like there's no tomorrow.
00:02:17.800
I'm making $6 million a year, $8 million a year.
00:02:22.100
And as some do it because I want to be a pro bowler.
00:02:32.280
No one finds out who is the Brady of their league or their industry for a long time.
00:02:43.520
It takes 10, 20 years, sometimes 30 years to find that out.
00:02:47.180
In the business world, there's a lot of people that come out of the gates and they win fast.
00:02:54.260
In everything, you'll never know 10, 20 years down the line.
00:02:59.340
I remember one time I was in a meeting and a guy speaking from stage.
00:03:03.340
And I was probably the number 50 guy in the company, okay?
00:03:08.160
And nobody saw me as a number one guy or somebody that could come up.
00:03:11.620
It's probably the number 50 guy in the company.
00:03:30.180
One, when I was a kid, I saw the Shah with the picture upside down in Iran.
00:03:34.260
When I went to his museum, he's eight castles that he had.
00:03:38.980
And I told myself, one day I'm going to buy it because I told my dad,
00:03:49.980
I don't buy this like, oh, look at this exotic.
00:03:59.320
You know, sometimes when you're thinking, Pat, I don't know how to describe this to you,
00:04:06.120
I just can't stop dreaming about who I want to be in life.
00:04:31.460
Somebody goes, oh my God, this was the exact message for me, Pat.
00:04:43.480
I don't know if you need the world to motivate you every day.
00:04:47.320
Because nobody needs to motivate Brady every day.
00:04:51.040
He doesn't need a motivational speaker to get him going.
00:04:56.360
But these videos are built for you to eventually not need it anymore.
00:05:03.600
It's built for you to finally realize how to motivate yourself.
00:05:08.120
And by the way, the majority need it constantly.
00:05:11.640
But the few, you have a vision in your brain and you can't take it out.
00:05:44.880
You know how many scenes of conversations are recorded in my brain?
00:05:50.580
You either have to live with them and know they're right?
00:05:52.540
Or the few of you that are watching this, very small percentage, less than 1% of you that are watching this, less than 1%.
00:06:04.060
And you can't live your life without seeing those things become a reality.
00:06:21.560
I was a Drew Bledsoe fan more than I was a Brady fan when he came out of Washington State.
00:06:43.040
Or to get a taste of what it's like to be the best in your world, in your industry.
00:06:51.080
Knowing when the guy takes a day off you're going.
00:07:00.980
By the way, no one knew Brady was going to be who he was.
00:07:04.840
He didn't look like a professional football player.
00:07:07.420
He looks more in shape today than either when he first came into the league.
00:07:20.780
So, anyways, if you follow a story, you know how special it is.
00:07:29.220
If you don't, one of the greatest underdog stories of all time.
00:07:38.580
Now, he also ended up having a great mentor, by the way, that wanted as medicine, if not more.
00:07:43.260
However, you put those two together, unstoppable combination.
00:07:48.620
So, this week, after watching this video, what are you doing it for?
00:07:56.940
Or to find out what it's like to be one of the best, if not the best, in your industry?
00:08:05.640
If you're not distracted with all the other things that are around you.
00:08:08.860
And if it fires you up and you're saying, Pat, I fully relate to everything you're saying.
00:08:23.240
When your mom is disappointed because you haven't called her back.
00:08:30.000
When something bad happens to your business, to you and the market, to your family, to your friends.
00:08:34.880
That's when you realize if you really got the goodies.
00:08:36.720
And then, we'll have to find out if it can last.
00:08:54.620
I hope this message resonates with those few of you.
