00:00:25.940
in the next 12 months based on who they talk to last before they go to sleep at night?
00:00:33.800
What if I told you, you and I can predict the level of success somebody will have in
00:00:37.740
the next 12 months based on who's in their ear, who they talk to last before they go
00:00:51.280
In your mind, you're thinking you're going to make more money.
00:00:57.720
Man, I feel the odds are pretty high of me making it here.
00:01:00.080
Or I date somebody because I just feel I met her dad.
00:01:06.900
Every decision you make in your mind, you don't know it, but you have certain machine here
00:01:10.700
mechanism that's increasing the chances, hopefully, of making a better decision.
00:01:22.420
I've seen so many talented people fail miserably because they didn't know how to control the
00:01:29.240
last person they talked to before they went to sleep at night.
00:01:33.580
I've seen average people when at the highest level because the last person they talked to
00:01:39.140
Say, let's just say Johnny goes to sleep at night and he's laying in bed next to his
00:01:42.220
girlfriend or his wife or his, you know, whoever it is.
00:01:45.420
He says, oh my God, babe, I can't tell you how excited I am.
00:01:50.640
I don't know why I feel like we're going to be doing so well.
00:01:54.920
We're going to be able to send the babies, the kids to private school.
00:01:57.460
We're going to, and then, and then all of a sudden girlfriend stops.
00:02:04.100
Like no one in our family has ever made money, babe.
00:02:06.560
Why are you believing that guy telling you this stuff?
00:02:10.760
Like you seriously think you're going to make that kind of, are you out of your mind?
00:02:23.560
If you go out to space in the next three years, you'll be at $30 an hour.
00:02:28.240
More money than both of our parents have ever made.
00:02:32.740
I know these dreams are great, but let's face it, babe.
00:02:43.180
Mary has this dream of building a bakery into a franchise.
00:02:51.420
I was at this YPO event, and I met these other two ladies who are introducing me to these other girls
00:02:56.160
that they think they're going to help us with the bakery.
00:02:58.460
I'm so excited because I think they want to partner up, and they want to bring in the money and the capital.
00:03:03.820
And the husband says, oh my gosh, babe, I'm so proud of you.
00:03:40.500
She talks to her husband, and she goes to sleep saying, oh my gosh, I can't believe this is going to happen.
00:04:01.600
On a Wednesday night, 9 o'clock, I'm sitting down with somebody.
00:04:19.000
Next day, they come to work, and I see their eyes changed.
00:04:33.800
The difference between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. is who they talk to in that 12-hour period.
00:04:39.960
Whoever they talk to last makes them think, and for 6 to 8 hours, they're thinking about that.
00:04:46.180
So for some of you that are watching this right now saying, oh my gosh, that's why I'm not winning.
00:05:02.080
Look, if somebody makes you quit on your dreams and you believe it, it's also your fault.
00:05:19.080
Your husband, wife, your parents, they pretty much want the best for you.
00:05:22.400
Of course, they would love for you to go out there and succeed at the high school and become
00:05:28.320
And sometimes they indirectly bully you, not intentionally.
00:05:34.760
And if you don't stand up for yourself, they believe you.
00:05:39.880
Say that example where the wife tells the husband, babe, come on, get over yourself, babe.
00:05:45.660
One day you're going to make $30 an hour more than our parents have we've ever made.
00:05:53.720
Internally, when she goes to bed, she says, I was kind of hoping you would fight me a little
00:06:11.540
Like, we don't have this kind of stuff in Iran.
00:06:13.820
Can you imagine life insurance or financial services in Iran?
00:06:22.920
What do you mean this guy's going to go out there and be a millionaire?
00:06:26.000
But I've had moments where they made me doubt myself and I came back at them.
00:06:37.000
But you got to trust your son and you got to support me.
00:06:39.900
If you're not going to support me, you're not going to see a lot of me.
00:06:48.140
If you don't want to support me, please don't talk about my business and what I'm doing.
00:07:02.260
So as much as you're quick to want to blame your wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, all that other stuff, a bigger part of it is on you because when they bullied you indirectly, you allowed them to.
00:07:15.800
And indirectly, they'll watch and they'll say, ooh, this guy's serious.
00:07:19.460
And then more importantly, you got to go out and work your tail off and get results so they see progress.
00:07:26.440
But make sure the last person you talk to, Edna, before you go to sleep is somebody worthy.
00:07:34.580
If you're not married, you still have an opportunity to really have this conversation before you get married.
00:07:41.280
If you are married, watch this video with your husband and your wife together because there's a part of it that you're being held accountable and there's a part of it that they're being held accountable.
00:07:50.340
But don't jump into conclusion and just say, well, you know, it's all good.
00:07:59.560
I wish I could have a video for you to watch 50, 100 different situations at night on how these conversations take place in a bedroom.
00:08:09.120
And you would see exactly the results of that person 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, a year later.
00:08:14.840
And then you sit there and say, wow, there's a big difference between the two.
00:08:20.660
But it's on you to see which ride you're going to take.
