00:00:00.000 I believe there's never ever been a time in human history where we are more confused than
00:00:26.720 we are today.
00:00:27.720 Let me say this one more time.
00:00:28.720 I believe there's never ever been a time in human history where people, you and I, are
00:00:34.400 as confused as we are today.
00:00:36.620 Let me explain to you why.
00:00:38.560 You see, if you were to go back a thousand years ago, and you and I are living in a family
00:00:42.520 where our father's a farmer, what do you think we're going to do when we grow up?
00:00:45.440 We're probably going to be farmers.
00:00:46.620 What if your dad's a cobbler?
00:00:48.220 You're probably going to be a cobbler.
00:00:50.060 Carpenter, carpenter, it doesn't matter.
00:00:52.060 You're probably going to do what your father does, and you're probably going to marry somebody
00:00:55.700 within the community because it's a small village, it's a small city, and the traditions
00:01:00.600 that we have, the church we go to, we don't have millions of different options.
00:01:04.600 Right?
00:01:05.600 That's a thousand years ago.
00:01:06.600 Go back to a hundred years ago.
00:01:07.600 Maybe we have more options.
00:01:08.600 But come to today.
00:01:10.240 If you wanted to today, you have more choices and options today than ever before.
00:01:15.440 On career, on religion, on politics, on social media, on content to consume, on dating.
00:01:20.640 If you wanted to have 10 dates every single day starting at 6 a.m. in the morning at the
00:01:25.940 gym, till 10 p.m. at night at Starbucks, on Saturday and Sunday, you could set it up today.
00:01:30.560 You just got to swipe right.
00:01:31.760 You have so many options today.
00:01:33.180 Why commit to anything?
00:01:34.860 Why get married?
00:01:36.280 Why commit to one career?
00:01:37.880 Why believe in one philosophy?
00:01:39.920 So this whole thing has made it so challenging.
00:01:43.140 Being an 18 year old today has got to be the most challenging time ever to be 18 years old
00:01:48.380 if you don't have the one currency which I'll talk about here in a minute.
00:01:51.100 Let me go a little bit deeper on this topic.
00:01:53.660 So the other day I'm holding a conference call and on the conference call one of the guys
00:01:56.540 asked me a question saying, Pat, how do you figure out a way to stay sane today and
00:02:04.500 still have a family life?
00:02:05.500 I'm married.
00:02:06.500 I got three kids.
00:02:07.500 Eight year old.
00:02:08.500 Six year old.
00:02:09.500 I run two companies.
00:02:10.500 I got employees, investors, lawyers, creating content.
00:02:13.560 All of this stuff combined together trying to exercise, stay in shape, kind of find out
00:02:17.960 what's going on with the economy, with the news.
00:02:20.180 How do you keep all that together and not lose it?
00:02:22.680 How does that happen?
00:02:23.980 And for me, I went to one place.
00:02:26.120 One simple place.
00:02:27.120 Every single year at the end of the year, I take a piece of paper and I write down, what
00:02:31.840 was Pat like at 18?
00:02:33.180 Then I go 18, 19, 20, 21, all the way down to my age today.
00:02:36.580 And I finish it with one thought.
00:02:38.760 Here's what the one thought is.
00:02:40.640 Is the 41-year-old Pat today hungrier, strategic, wiser, okay?
00:02:47.260 Then he was at 35.
00:02:49.940 Meaning, if the 41-year-old Pat was to compete against the 35-year-old Pat, who would win?
00:02:55.900 If the 41-year-old Pat were to go against the 40-year-old Pat, who would win?
00:02:59.580 What is the difference between the 32-year-old Pat versus the 41-year-old Pat?
00:03:03.260 What has changed?
00:03:04.260 Now, sometime when you say this, a lot of people will say, well, Pat, I'm wiser than I've ever
00:03:08.020 been before.
00:03:09.020 Okay.
00:03:10.020 All of us are, if you think about it.
00:03:11.700 The more mistakes you make, you're going to be wiser.
00:03:13.420 The more you travel, you're going to be wiser.
00:03:15.100 The more books you read, the more new people you meet, somehow, someway, more life experiences
00:03:19.220 just means we become wiser, right?
00:03:21.460 But hungrier?
00:03:22.460 Different story.
00:03:23.460 What do you mean by hungrier, though?
00:03:25.360 Am I supposed to be as hungry as I am, you know, at 28, at 40?
00:03:30.800 Am I not supposed to be a little bit more calmer?
00:03:33.800 Calmer?
00:03:34.800 Yes.
00:03:35.800 Hungry?
00:03:36.800 Different story.
00:03:37.800 Let me explain why.
00:03:38.800 We have two people running for office today, okay?
00:03:40.860 Both of them are in their mid-70s, Sanders and Trump, and they are hungrier than anybody
00:03:45.680 else today.
00:03:46.600 Why is that?
00:03:48.240 Is Trump hungrier today than he was at 40?
00:03:50.960 Think about the 74, 75-year-old President Trump going against 40-year-old Donald Trump.
00:03:56.900 Think about if the 75-year-old Sanders is going against the 40-year-old Sanders.
00:04:01.260 Who's hungrier?
00:04:02.260 Why?
00:04:03.260 See, in any competitive environment, if you and I were to go into any competitive environment,
00:04:08.460 business, sports, it doesn't matter what it is.
00:04:10.920 The moment you decide to compete, every morning you wake up, you fall into one of three categories.
00:04:16.380 You're either a hunter, trying to go find your prey.
00:04:19.600 You're either someone's prey, who's trying to hunt you, or you're collaborating with
00:04:23.360 somebody else to go hunt for something bigger.
00:04:26.060 Just like what just happened today with T-Mobile and Sprint.
00:04:29.340 They came together to try to go against AT&T or Verizon once it gets approved.
00:04:33.240 They're collaborating.
00:04:34.300 But if you don't hunt anymore, you will be hunted.
00:04:38.080 That's just the environment we're in.
00:04:39.720 That's why sometimes business gets a black eye because it's constant competition.
00:04:43.380 So what's the solution to this?
00:04:45.080 Here's what the solution is.
00:04:47.680 If you're talking to yourself right now, you're asking yourself, you're 50 years old, are you
00:04:51.120 as hungry as you're at 40?
00:04:52.180 I don't know.
00:04:53.180 You've got to answer that question.
00:04:55.060 But if you're not as hungry as 40, you may be someone's prey today.
00:04:59.220 Somebody may be coming after you today.
00:05:00.960 And how do you get that hunger again?
00:05:02.680 Very simple.
00:05:03.720 Go back to when you were hungry and think about the state you were in.
00:05:07.280 You'd watch a movie like Gladiator and you'd start getting emotional because you'd say,
00:05:11.100 oh my gosh, I want to want so bad.
00:05:13.440 I want that feeling of redemption like this guy has.
00:05:17.720 You watch movies with redemption.
00:05:19.700 It gave you juice.
00:05:21.500 It gave you power.
00:05:22.500 It gave you strength.
00:05:23.500 It gave you encouragement in ways nothing else was given you at that time.
00:05:27.600 When's the last time you felt that way?
00:05:30.480 When's the last time you put yourself in a position to feel that way?
00:05:33.040 When's the last time?
00:05:34.040 Why not?
00:05:35.360 Just because you're aging doesn't mean you shouldn't be hungrier.
00:05:37.860 You ought to get hungrier because you have more tools and mechanism and strategy and ways
00:05:43.140 of doing things better today.
00:05:44.700 I'll finish with this thought.
00:05:46.700 You know, I told you earlier the most valuable currency today, it's also the hardest currency,
00:05:51.260 but if you can get this currency on your side, it's going to be very hard to compete with
00:05:54.580 you today.
00:05:55.580 Here's what the one currency is.
00:05:56.980 The one currency today that will give you an edge in a marketplace over everybody else,
00:06:02.260 if you know how to concentrate on one thing, you have an edge.
00:06:08.500 If you know how to concentrate your efforts and be focused on one thing, you have an edge.
00:06:13.540 If you can be focused on one thing and not look at everything else that everybody else
00:06:18.740 is looking at, 50 different philosophies, 75 different ways to make money, 19 different
00:06:24.700 streams of income.
00:06:25.700 If you can figure out where to go here, all of that stuff is going to come your way.
00:06:29.800 But if you go chase all the other stuff like everyone else is, you're going to miss the
00:06:33.040 whole point of winning in life because you can't concentrate.
00:06:37.680 Concentration today is the number one currency.
00:06:40.200 You show me anyone today who knows how to concentrate, I'll show you someone that nobody
00:06:44.900 wants to compete with because it's very intimidating to concentrate in today's time.
00:06:49.500 So yes, it is very confusing today.
00:06:52.200 We are all over the place today.
00:06:53.540 I totally understand where you could be here today, but imagine if you could concentrate,
00:06:58.240 what would life look like?
00:07:00.280 Imagine if you went back and you started being hungry like you once were before.
00:07:03.920 Combine hunger and concentration.
00:07:06.220 You know what you'd be capable of doing?
00:07:08.320 Anything you want to do.
00:07:09.720 If you stay hungry and if you can stay concentrated at a time where the world is confused today.
