If you just started a business, you just became an entrepreneur, you just got into a new industry
00:00:26.000
Or maybe you just got into sales and you're about to throw in the towel because nothing seems to go your way
00:00:33.280
Let me explain to you what happened to me yesterday
00:00:35.020
Yesterday, my 8-year-old son's friend has a birthday at this place called the Ninja Warrior Place, Strong Warrior Place
00:00:41.540
So my wife and our three kids go to this place and it's a nice place, it's got a gym on one side
00:00:45.600
And in the back it has the whole obstacle course for the kids and then there's the adult section where they do tournaments
00:00:51.340
So by the time my kids were kind of done doing their thing and they're kind of having fun and they found their friends
00:00:55.860
I started kind of adventuring and finding out what they have at this place
00:00:59.140
So I go to the gym, they have the pull-up bar, they have the ropes
00:01:01.940
And then all of a sudden I see these walls that I've seen before
00:01:04.940
You know, these, they call them the Warped Wall, right?
00:01:15.260
Then I'm walking and I see a couple other things and I see these two walls
00:01:19.960
I look at the guy, the instructor, I'm like, let me ask you a question
00:01:27.540
14 feet, that's what they use in Ninja Warrior tournaments
0.98
00:01:31.280
14 feet, yes, it looks like the Wall of China when you look at it, right?
00:01:38.500
I look at it, I'm going, going, going, hesitating, coming back
00:01:45.720
And when you look at this blue wall, it just looks impossible
00:01:50.100
I'm not a CrossFit guy, I'm not a Ninja Warrior guy
00:01:55.360
Some other exercises that I do, boxing and fighting, right?
00:02:18.580
Thinking the same thing's going to happen to me
00:02:29.440
She's like, babe, I've got to go see where the kids are on
00:02:42.700
Without at least trying to give my best for this thing
00:02:45.580
And knowing that my best isn't good enough to go up there
00:02:50.180
But I have to at least know that I give my best
00:02:54.220
The guy's like, listen, we're closing up the gym
00:03:14.320
The only way this jump is going to work out for you
00:04:06.080
But that's the worst thing that's going to happen
00:04:33.840
Let me tell you why I'm sharing this story with you
00:05:11.900
What if your friends, your peers, people tell you
00:05:16.380
You thought you can go into sales and make this
00:05:43.040
By the way, this applies to every aspect of your life
00:05:45.280
Family, parenting, marriage, relationship, finance
00:05:51.020
I know this is maybe not the news you wanted to hear today
00:05:53.740
Because you were hoping I could give you an out
00:06:35.720
Everybody wants to know what you're doing with your life
