00:00:00.000 With this rubber band, I'm going to show you why it's so difficult to leave your comfort zone,
00:00:02.980 especially what your friends and family do to hold you back, not knowingly, but they do it to you.
00:00:07.680 So here we go.
00:00:08.740 This hand represents you.
00:00:10.740 This hand represents your friends and family.
00:00:13.360 This is you saying, I want to go do something big with my life.
00:00:16.560 You go, you go, you go, but your friends are like, wait a minute, come back down here.
00:00:19.340 What are you doing?
00:00:19.760 You come back down.
00:00:20.920 You go, I want to dream.
00:00:22.460 I want to do something big.
00:00:23.380 Your wife says, babe, what are you talking about?
00:00:24.840 No, no, you're working too hard.
00:00:26.080 Okay, babe, you're right.
00:00:27.260 No, mom, dad, I'm so sick and tired of being broke.
00:00:30.340 Son, come back down here.
00:00:31.220 We're not special.
00:00:31.980 We're just regular family.
00:00:32.840 What do you think you're going to be a million in one day?
00:00:34.260 And you keep going.
00:00:36.060 Eventually, when you try to go and go, the tension gets harder.
00:00:39.380 When you get to this point, it's so difficult to break away because if you do, it's going to snap.
00:00:44.760 When it snaps, a couple things happen.
00:00:46.500 This illustration, I showed it to group last week on a Zoom.
00:00:49.340 Look what happened to me.
00:00:50.400 It's not a big cut, but it's a cut.
00:00:52.360 When it hit back, my fingers started bleeding.
00:00:54.100 I wasn't even looking at it.
00:00:54.940 Next thing you know, I'm writing.
00:00:55.720 There's blood all over my hands.
00:00:57.200 Like, that's the pain we're afraid of.
00:00:58.680 Watch what happens.
00:00:59.340 Let me just show it to you.
00:01:00.440 So this is you and I.
00:01:01.660 We want to go distance ourselves from our friends and family because we have dreams.
00:01:04.740 You go, you go, you go.
00:01:05.400 Boom.
00:01:06.020 That hurts right now.
00:01:07.020 But watch.
00:01:07.920 Many of you, you have not only one.
00:01:11.480 You have not only two.
00:01:13.100 So one represents your mom.
00:01:14.740 One represents your wife or ex or friend or peer or cousin.
00:01:18.860 Another one and another one and another one and another one.
00:01:23.080 These are all people that are holding you back.
00:01:25.080 Now watch.
00:01:26.140 Watch how hard this is.
00:01:27.660 I want to go.
00:01:29.120 Ah!
00:01:29.700 Ah!
00:01:30.180 You can't, right?
00:01:31.480 They're powerful.
00:01:32.740 Okay?
00:01:32.960 It's a very strong power that they have on you when they hold you back.
00:01:35.940 But if one by one by one, you show that you want to go out there and win big, eventually
00:01:41.140 they're going to realize how serious you are.
00:01:43.420 By the way, you know what the biggest fear is?
00:01:45.060 Look what happens to this.
00:01:46.380 When I'm going to show it to you, just watch closely.
00:01:48.520 When the disconnect, when this thing, when it cuts, look how quickly this goes.
00:01:55.440 Meaning, when you eventually get to a point that they no longer have power over your dreams.
00:02:00.840 They don't control you anymore.
00:02:02.240 Your old habits, your friends, your family.
00:02:03.860 You love these guys.
00:02:05.160 But they're afraid of you separating yourself from them.
00:02:07.880 It's an emotional scenario that you're going to experience.
00:02:10.740 But once you overcome that, look how quickly you explode.
00:02:13.460 Watch.
00:02:14.220 I'm going.
00:02:14.820 I'm going to go slow.
00:02:15.380 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:02:19.800 Your hand just goes up.
00:02:21.600 It explodes.
00:02:23.040 And the separation goes.
00:02:23.960 By the way, my finger right now got cut as well.
00:02:25.980 The separation is instant.
00:02:27.580 Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain.
00:02:29.260 I don't know if I can do this.
00:02:31.440 Bam, you're gone.
00:02:33.520 That's how life works.
00:02:35.000 I'm a regular guy making $3.75 an hour.
00:02:38.800 Dude, Pat, stop dreaming.
00:02:40.500 We're not meant to do something big.
00:02:41.980 I don't want to live a small life.
00:02:43.840 Pain, pain, pain, boom.
00:02:46.060 Then you make six figures.
00:02:47.820 And your peers are making six figures.
00:02:49.280 I don't want to just make six figures.
00:02:51.180 Dude, we're making more money than ever.
00:02:52.620 I want to do something big.
00:02:54.120 Boom, boom, boom.
00:02:54.760 God, boom. 0.99
00:02:55.420 You're going next.
00:02:56.040 I don't want to just be an average guy.
00:02:57.800 But we got a great life.
00:02:59.260 At every single level, new people with these rubber bands shows up.
00:03:05.440 It's not just your friends and family.
00:03:07.100 At every level.
00:03:08.640 Say you're an athlete.
00:03:09.920 High school.
00:03:10.340 I want to go to college.
00:03:11.460 But no.
00:03:12.000 Let's just high school ball.
00:03:12.880 No.
00:03:13.540 I want to be disciplined.
00:03:14.960 I don't want to smoke the weed and go party like everybody else.
00:03:17.260 I want to play in the NBA.
00:03:18.720 Boom.
00:03:19.180 Separation, friend.
00:03:20.040 Look at this guy.
00:03:20.600 All he cares about is himself.
00:03:21.760 Now you're playing college.
00:03:23.200 But I don't want to just play in college.
00:03:24.600 I want to go into the NBA.
00:03:26.000 Boom.
00:03:26.820 Separation.
00:03:27.380 Look at this guy.
00:03:27.960 He thinks he's a guy that can go into the NBA.
00:03:29.780 He goes into it.
00:03:30.520 I don't want to just be a guy on the NBA team.
00:03:32.440 I want to.
00:03:33.440 This whole thing is so flippant scary.
00:03:36.140 But it's so real.
00:03:37.700 So the next time you're sitting there and you're worried about the pain.
00:03:41.700 My finger right now has pain.
00:03:43.360 You're worried about that pain.
00:03:45.500 Once you make that distance and you go this way.
00:03:48.200 Let me put it to you this way.
00:03:49.840 I'm experiencing certain things in my life right now that makes no sense.
00:03:53.160 Certain things in my life right now that makes no sense.
00:03:55.500 Recently, I just got a property.
00:03:57.720 I didn't want to make it public.
00:03:59.000 But all of a sudden, everybody's texting me.
00:04:00.860 Because when you buy a house this size, everybody wants to write about it.
00:04:04.200 Because it's a record-breaking sale that I had.
00:04:06.760 Do you know what it was like for me living in an apartment complex in Glendale on 1323 Broadway?
00:04:11.980 One bedroom with my sister and my mom.
00:04:13.680 And we were broke.
00:04:14.460 Now, no money.
00:04:15.340 My mom ran out of money going back to Iran.
00:04:17.260 I joined the army because I had nothing to my name.
00:04:20.160 Nothing.
00:04:21.420 Get out of the army.
00:04:22.480 I live with my sister.
00:04:24.220 When I'm living with my sister and I get out of the army, I'm living with my dad.
00:04:27.740 Trying to figure out life.
00:04:29.280 But I have dreams.
00:04:31.300 I want to do something big.
00:04:34.460 Everybody's holding me back.
00:04:36.180 And then today, you know what the next level is?
00:04:39.180 There's still people like that.
00:04:40.680 But you know how much harder it is for people to convince you to stay small?
00:04:44.280 You know how much harder it is?
00:04:45.640 You know what muscles you've developed at this level?
00:04:49.040 However, you know how many of you are actually going to go to...
00:04:51.280 By the way, later on today, you know what's going to happen to you?
00:04:53.200 You're going to talk to your friend, your wife, your mom, your dad.
00:04:55.500 Someone's going to say something.
00:04:56.380 You're going to say, you know what, Mom?
00:04:57.240 I want you to watch a video.
00:04:58.120 You remind me of a rubber band.
00:04:59.900 What?
00:05:00.400 Just watch this video, Mom.
00:05:01.360 Don't be a rubber band.
00:05:02.180 Man, baby, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
00:05:04.840 Just watch this video.
00:05:06.000 You're being a rubber band.
00:05:07.260 You don't even know you're doing it.
00:05:08.740 Your wife will do it to you. 1.00
00:05:09.920 Show them this video.
00:05:10.840 Your husband will do it to you.

00:05:12.860 Your boyfriend will do it to you.
00:05:14.160 Show them this video.
00:05:14.960 Your cousin will do it to you.
00:05:16.080 Show them this video.
00:05:16.720 Just say, text them.
00:05:17.580 Don't be my rubber band holding me back.
00:05:21.520 Let them think.
00:05:22.920 And after they watch this video, if somebody shared this video with you, let that person
00:05:26.880 go after their dreams.
00:05:28.840 Stop holding them back.
00:05:30.860 And hopefully, maybe you ought to also join them on the journey of wanting to do something
00:05:34.920 big with their lives.
00:05:35.640 So if this video made any sense to you to look at rubber bands in a whole different
00:05:40.820 way, I've got another video I want you to watch.
00:05:42.660 It's a video I did a couple years ago.
00:05:45.200 I gave a message at this one event in Long Beach.
00:05:47.800 And it was called Think Like a Grand Master Entrepreneur.
00:05:50.980 If you type in entrepreneur on your phone, it's one of the first videos that comes up.
00:05:53.580 But if it doesn't, click over here.
00:05:55.620 Go watch that video.
00:05:56.920 I talked to you about step-by-step mindset on how I went from just being a regular guy
00:06:02.420 to thinking about my next 5, 10, 15 steps.
