In this episode, Patrick Medivio talks about how to enjoy the process of winning and how to be thankful and grateful while being extremely competitive and driven to go to the next level. You don't need to be part of a Vanderbilt family or a Gates family to do that. You simply need to go out and commit to self-education and get clear on your purpose and your vision and the rest is history.
00:00:00.00030 seconds, one time for the underdog, ignition sequence start, let me see you put em up, reach the sky, turn the stars up above, cause it's one time for the underdog, one time for the underdog.
00:00:17.320I'm Patrick Medivio, host of our team, and today we're going to talk about how to enjoy the actual process of winning.
00:00:21.840For a moment, forget about the amount of money we're making, forget about the lifestyle we have, forget about the fact that we're at a hotel that's 3 grand a night and we're not even blinking an eye to stay at a place like this, forget about the fact that we're here renting a yacht, an 84 foot yacht, and we're jumping off the top and we're full on service, full on dinner, barbecue, lamb chops, hummus, every single drink, everything was paid for on the yacht, music, just imagine what you see in hip hop videos, it was kind of like a hip hop video, wasn't it?
00:00:55.880You would have never said that, my high school friends would have never said that, so last night we were having dinner, I said take a quick moment and you've got to pause and just quickly be grateful for the life and enjoy the moment today cause this thing goes very quickly.
00:01:10.760And on one side, you've got to be extremely ambitious, driven, speed, everything fast to want to build it big and get after your dreams, and hungry, thinking big, all of that stuff.
00:01:20.020But on the other side, you've also got to be able to manage that with staying in the moment on a daily basis and just being thankful and grateful while being extremely competitive.
00:01:30.980Believe me, it's a very weird combination, but one of them keeps you sane, the other one keeps you driven.
00:01:37.320Being grateful keeps you sane, being extremely ambitious and thinking big keeps you going to the next level and staying competitive and edgy to the point where you don't need your typical eight hours of sleep.
00:01:48.320You're fine going on four to six hours of sleep because your brain is thinking about the next challenge you want to overcome, the next vision you want to turn into a reality, the next dream you want to turn into a reality.
00:01:56.920It completely thinks in a different way.
00:01:59.260If you do that, and anyone could do that, recreating yourself is something that anybody could do, but it'll start with a decision that you've got to make for that to take place.
00:02:08.000You just heard Matt Sopala talking to my buddies yesterday, and they were telling him how this guy was a guy in high school that nobody thought about was going to amount to anything.
00:02:16.720And one day I picked up a first book, and the first book was How to Win Friends and Influence People.
00:02:21.700And the next thing you know, I'm now picking up my 1100 book that I'm reading.
00:02:24.920And that's happened in the process of 15 years, and anyone can do that.
00:02:29.580You don't need a half a million dollars to go to school to get a degree.
00:02:32.040You don't need to be part of a Vanderbilt family or a Gates family to do that.
00:02:35.560You simply need to make a decision to go out and commit to self-education and get clear on your purpose and your vision, and the rest is history.
