So you know, every time you go into a new year, the key is to have a certain mindset.
00:00:02.880
Like if you were to choose a word for a year, or a couple words for the year, what would
00:00:07.880
Today I was watching a video that Mario shared with me.
00:00:10.320
It's a talk I gave in 2015 when I was living in an RV for 30 days, going from LA to Miami
00:00:15.120
to New York, to Niagara Falls, to San Francisco, back to LA.
00:00:19.760
And this is a stop at, I believe, San Bernardino Valley.
00:00:23.240
And we're there and I'm giving this talk, and it was probably one of the best ones I
00:00:30.460
And the message, while I'm listening to it, I'm getting emotional, listen to the five-year
00:00:34.880
younger Pat giving the message at 37 years old, 36 years old.
00:00:39.100

I'm not going to show you the whole talk because it's 23 minutes, but I'm going to just show
00:00:49.500
you a three, four, five minute segment of a speech I gave while I was on San Bernardino.
00:00:59.780
Do you ever wonder why some of us sometimes are so bitter and depressed?
00:01:04.140

00:01:39.880
But you know what causes bitterness and what causes depression?
00:01:42.940

00:01:49.060
Let me tell you what causes happiness and what causes bitterness.
00:01:53.680
People who no longer create anything are depressed and bitter.

My mom told me I would never be in the same room with your dad.
00:02:10.320
My dad said I would never see your mom ever again.
00:02:13.740
20 years I prayed I wanted to have them be in the same room together.
00:02:23.740
When she created that child, everybody showed up.
00:02:28.660
My mom and dad talked to each other with no problems.

Do you ever realize afterwards, what the heck was I thinking about going to this?
00:03:07.580

00:03:18.020
So then you go over there, you're all ticked off.
00:03:22.180
So we go over there, we're like this, talking behind, you know, under all, saying stuff.

Ikea has become a multi-billion dollar company because it figured out people become happy when
00:04:11.460
So dooku game is good because when you create and finish the diabolic formula, whatever it
00:04:20.400
But those are just actions that don't make you money.
00:04:23.640
Another thing we've realized we need is a community.
00:04:36.800
Hashtag, hashtag, da, da, da, hashtag, da, da, da, da, da.
00:04:44.800

00:06:31.800
Create community sense of ownership is all the activities that create happiness, fulfillment,
00:06:38.800
Do you know all entrepreneurs do all day long is create.
00:06:42.800
They're part of a community and they own their business.
00:06:49.800
But three words for you to be thinking about going into 2021.
00:06:53.800
Create, meaning stay in creation mode this year.
00:07:02.800
Stay in creation mode the entire year, especially in December with momentum going into 2021.
00:07:12.800
Wherever you are in your life right now, it's because of the community you're a part of.
00:07:19.800

00:07:35.800
Because in the book it's very challenging for the CEO to recommend a book like that.
00:07:39.800
Because in the book it tells employees to go shop your salaries.
00:07:43.800
So we're sitting there talking and I say, let me ask my opening question for everybody.
00:07:48.800

00:07:52.800
Yeah, we have no, why would you recommend this right now?
00:07:55.800
I said, because if we're going to go into 2021 with the vision to be able to fulfill,
00:08:14.800
And last but not least, we take ownership in what we do.
00:08:21.800
You know, one of the quotes I read in a recent book I read, it said, whisper your successes,
00:08:43.800
And our team really came through and they did their part.
00:08:45.800

00:08:47.800
Let me tell you about the 13 mistakes I made in 2020.

00:08:58.800
And you'll be surprised what's going to happen to you with the results you'll get.

I remember when I shifted to this mindset years ago.
00:09:06.800
You know, 90 days later, I couldn't even recognize my life.
00:09:09.800
There was a certain peace of mind that I had because I just kind of knew everything was
00:09:13.800

You don't have to worry about me filing bankruptcy.
00:09:45.800
