00:00:00.120 So we've got two different people here, both with big dreams, both very capable of their
00:00:03.800 dreams becoming a reality.
00:00:05.500 One of their dreams becomes a reality, the other ones doesn't.
00:00:08.520 Because at one point, this person had a conversation with themselves where they had to make a decision.
00:00:13.920 Behind closed doors, they weren't willing to do it.
00:00:16.080 It's been a secret of their life, their entire life they've had it, they're going to take
00:00:20.320 it to their deathbed with them, they will never share it with anybody else.
00:00:23.320 And I'm speculating a little bit today, but I'm going to share it with you.
00:00:25.760 You tell me what you think about this.
00:00:27.440 But in order for me to make my point, we've got to go back to me being 27, 26 years old.
00:00:31.000 I'm in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:00:32.000 I ran a sales contest for my sales guys, and we go to Atlanta.
00:00:35.740 This contest had to do with a hot dog eating contest.
00:00:38.380 Or guys, who's going to eat the most hot dogs?
00:00:39.880 Mario won, seven hot dogs in a minute.
00:00:41.780 Another one was Monopoly.
00:00:42.780 Another one was canoeing to see what we can do.
00:00:44.340 A bunch of people flipped in a lake, pretty ugly.
00:00:46.620 Another one had to do with horses.
00:00:47.680 Anyways, at the end of it, there was this house that the former founder of the company, I was
00:00:53.560 a part of, had built, and I wanted to see it.
00:00:56.880 And I asked the guy I was with, have you ever been to that house?
00:00:59.440 He says, no.
00:01:00.440 I said, do you mind taking me?
00:01:01.440 I want to see the house.
00:01:02.440 So we get into the car, and we go to the house, and we pull up to the house.
00:01:04.600 Massive, massive house.
00:01:05.600 Massive.
00:01:06.600 I'm talking $10, $20, $30, $40 million.
00:01:08.940 Massive house we're talking about.
00:01:10.600 And we pull up to the security guard, and I said, I'd like to get a tour of the house.
00:01:14.280 And the security says, who are you?
00:01:15.280 I said, I'm Patrick B. David.
00:01:16.280 And at the time, I'm coming up in the marketplace.
00:01:18.560 I have a reputation in the insurance industry of a guy that's coming up, but I haven't made it yet.
00:01:23.060 So he said, I'm sorry, I can't let you, and I said, I've got to see this house.
00:01:26.620 Listen, it's been on my vision board.
00:01:27.620 I've got to see this house.
00:01:28.620 Sir, you can't see this house.
00:01:29.620 I said, you don't understand how life works with me.
00:01:31.780 I've got to go see this house.
00:01:32.940 Sir, you can't see this house.
00:01:35.060 Gates open.
00:01:36.060 Boom!
00:01:37.060 I run to the door.
00:01:38.060 And the door's a good 50-yard run.
00:01:39.060 Okay?
00:01:40.060 So I'm making a run for the door.
00:01:41.060 Security's chasing me.
00:01:42.060 It's me, Mario, and one other person, or two other people.
00:01:44.540 We walk up.
00:01:45.540 The other four are like, we're not going to get arrested if we run.
00:01:46.540 By the way, I don't recommend you doing this.
00:01:48.380 You've got to hear the whole story before you go out there and try something like this.
00:01:51.420 So I get to the house.
00:01:52.420 I knock on the door, and I said, I'd like to get a tour of this house.
00:01:57.140 I know the owner.
00:01:58.140 Can you please tell the owner I'd like to get a tour of this house?
00:02:00.100 He's not here.
00:02:01.100 He's out of the country.
00:02:02.100 Can you please call him?
00:02:03.100 So security, what do you want me to do with these guys?
00:02:04.580 Just hang on for a second.
00:02:05.580 Calls the security.
00:02:06.580 He calls the guy.
00:02:07.580 Guy says, I know who he is.
00:02:08.580 Give him the tour of the house.
00:02:09.580 I get a three-hour tour of the house, okay?
00:02:11.660 By his brother, kind enough to do it, 26, 27 years old.
00:02:15.380 I get a tour of the house, and I'm looking, and I'm saying, oh, my gosh.
00:02:18.940 My dreams are like this.
00:02:21.900 This is insane.
00:02:23.500 I love this.
00:02:25.020 Reminds me of Iran, when I would go get a tour of Shah's house.
00:02:28.420 We'd get in the car.
00:02:29.800 As we get in the car, everyone's like, what happened?
00:02:31.940 Did you guys get arrested?
00:02:32.940 I said, no, we didn't get arrested.
00:02:33.940 We had a tour of the house for three hours.
00:02:35.160 We thought you guys were getting arrested.
00:02:36.480 No, we were getting a three-hour tour is what we were getting.
00:02:39.180 Back then, there is no Uber.
00:02:40.180 So you kind of like say, can you come pick me?
00:02:41.540 We've got, they're 30 minutes away.
00:02:43.060 They've got to come pick us.
00:02:44.060 It was a mess.
00:02:46.520 But I leave, and I say, I'm going to have my dream house one day.
00:02:50.060 And it's not going to be like this, because I like the water.
00:02:52.600 I like privacy.
00:02:53.800 I like guarded security with guns.
00:02:56.180 I'm a military guy.
00:02:58.060 I want all of that, but I'm going to have my dream house one day.
00:03:00.940 Anyways, fast forward.
00:03:02.720 In that moment, there's a few series of questions we all go through.
00:03:06.820 You go through.
00:03:07.720 I go through.
00:03:08.720 All of us who are young dreamers go through.
00:03:11.000 What's the first one?
00:03:12.140 How big are your dreams?
00:03:14.600 Number one.
00:03:15.600 I write them down.
00:03:16.600 Here's what I want to do.
00:03:17.600 I also want to do this.
00:03:18.600 Also, I'm not talking about dreams.
00:03:19.600 I'm talking about big, lofty.
00:03:21.600 You know how they say, hairy, beehag, big, hairy, audacious goals.
00:03:26.600 Like I'm talking massive dreams and goals, not small ones.
00:03:31.060 And I write it down.
00:03:32.060 And I say, I want to be able to have this one day.
00:03:34.060 You can't have a path.
00:03:35.060 But I want it.
00:03:36.060 How do you think you can do it?
00:03:37.060 Are you out of your mind?
00:03:38.060 But I want it.
00:03:39.060 Okay, great.
00:03:40.060 So number one is, how big are your dreams?
00:03:42.060 I wrote them out.
00:03:43.520 Number two, how demanding is it for these dreams to become a reality?
00:03:49.520 What do you mean?
00:03:50.900 These dreams, if you want these dreams, this level of respect in a marketplace, this level
00:03:57.660 of freedom in a marketplace, they come with a lot of demand.
00:04:02.740 It's very, very demanding.
00:04:05.000 What does that mean?
00:04:05.940 Today is 4th of July, 5th of July, Monday, everybody's on the weekend, I'm at the office
00:04:10.260 here all day today.
00:04:11.260 We're working.
00:04:12.260 We're driving, right?
00:04:13.260 With my kids here.
00:04:14.260 Two of my kids are here with me.
00:04:15.940 They're doing their homeworks.
00:04:16.940 One just finished the book.
00:04:17.940 The other one's writing the ABCs five times, right?
00:04:23.160 The demand, how demanding are your big dreams?
00:04:25.940 Very.
00:04:26.940 The next answer to the question.
00:04:28.300 The next question is the technical one.
00:04:29.840 You ready?
00:04:31.280 Are you willing to meet the demands of your big dreams?
00:04:37.160 And that's where this person says, I don't think so.
00:04:40.820 But when this person makes that decision, nobody knows it.
00:04:44.200 It's subtle.
00:04:45.200 It's very small.
00:04:46.900 It's very subtle.
00:04:48.380 And they start redirecting everything else to big dreams are not that important.
00:04:53.900 They have to convince themselves.
00:04:56.180 But until they're 60, 70, 80 years old, and they go to their deathbed, and they remember
00:05:01.300 that 35-year-old conversation when they were 40 years old, they had that conversation, whatever
00:05:04.760 that conversation was, that I simply was not willing to meet the demands of my big dreams.
00:05:12.580 This person also hit that wall at one point where they realized how demanding it is, how
00:05:16.800 serious it is.
00:05:18.420 This person said, I am willing to meet the demand.
00:05:21.720 You know what happens?
00:05:22.720 I want you to think about this.
00:05:24.520 The one question that this person didn't ask, that this person asked, and they got deeper
00:05:28.340 into it, is the following.
00:05:29.340 A lot of times people criticize me.
00:05:30.700 They say, Pat's one of the best storytellers, but man, Pat's so much about details, and his
00:05:35.180 stories get drawn out.
00:05:36.760 Totally get it.
00:05:37.760 But to me, I'm about details.
00:05:39.620 The last question is critical.
00:05:41.260 The question is, how is it going to feel when your dreams become a reality?
00:05:46.120 Go there.
00:05:48.280 You go there.
00:05:49.640 Whatever it is.
00:05:50.640 Governor.
00:05:51.640 Congressman.
00:05:52.640 Senator.
00:05:53.640 Millionaire.
00:05:54.640 Founder of a company.
00:05:55.640 Taking the company public.
00:05:56.640 The house.
00:05:57.640 The yacht.
00:05:58.640 The boat.
00:05:59.640 The trips.
00:06:00.640 The travel.
00:06:01.640 The accolades.
00:06:02.640 The respect.
00:06:03.640 The comment from your mom.
00:06:04.640 Your dad.
00:06:05.640 Your teacher.
00:06:06.640 Your professor.
00:06:07.640 Your enemy.
00:06:08.640 Your competitor.
00:06:09.640 Whatever it may be.
00:06:10.640 Big.
00:06:11.640 Audition.
00:06:12.640 How's it going to feel?
00:06:13.640 So insanely good.
00:06:14.640 Then you would be willing to pay the price that the man needed for your big dreams to
00:06:20.640 become a reality.
00:06:21.640 But if you can't sell yourself on that feeling worth experiencing, you're going to be in this
00:06:28.640 camp.
00:06:29.640 But if you can, you're going to be in this camp.
00:06:30.640 By the way, this camp is not that busy.
00:06:32.640 This camp is busy with a lot of different people who did not want to answer that question.
00:06:35.640 And they don't want to meet those demands.
00:06:37.640 So for you, how's it going to feel?
00:06:39.640 Look, I'll give it to you from multiple different areas.
00:06:42.640 You.
00:06:43.640 People around you.
00:06:45.640 Your legacy.
00:06:46.640 For you, the way you look at yourself in the mirror to know that you said something's
00:06:49.640 going to become a reality and it became a reality, that level of respect is priceless.
00:06:53.640 You can't buy that at Walmart, Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus, or online.
00:06:56.640 You cannot.
00:06:57.640 You can only earn that, right?
00:06:58.640 Number one.
00:06:59.640 Number two, how's it going to feel in the marketplace?
00:07:01.640 The marketplace, a lot of people are going to say, man, this guy said he's going to do
00:07:04.640 it, he did it.
00:07:05.640 This girl said she's going to do it and she did it.
00:07:07.640 Level of respect and salute goes to the highest level.
00:07:09.640 Of course, more haters show up, but even haters respect you.
00:07:12.640 You know what's the biggest one?
00:07:14.640 The legacy side is your kids, if you do it right, your next generation, if you do it right,
00:07:20.640 they're going to watch it and they're going to say, man, my dad, my mom's fired.
00:07:23.640 I want to replicate that.
00:07:24.640 And if you teach them the right way and you raise them the right way, that legacy continues
00:07:29.640 if you do it the right way.
00:07:30.640 So yes, at one point, we all have to answer four questions.
00:07:35.640 How big are your dreams?
00:07:37.640 How demanding are your dreams?
00:07:39.640 Are you willing to meet that demand?
00:07:40.640 And how's it going to feel if those dreams become a reality?
00:07:43.640 If the answer to those questions are very big, you write them out.
00:07:47.640 Very demanding, you write them out.
00:07:49.640 I'm willing to meet the demand.
00:07:51.640 Go do it.
00:07:52.640 And I want to experience it because I think it's going to feel incredible.
00:07:55.640 Then you go pay the price and eventually your big dreams are going to become a reality.
00:07:59.640 If you're watching the same path, I just kind of want to go experience this.
00:08:03.640 What do you suggest I do next?
00:08:05.640 I've got a video specifically for you.
00:08:06.640 It's called How to Reach Your Full Potential.
00:08:08.640 If you've never watched it, go watch it.
00:08:09.640 If you watch it, you may want to watch it again because that formula has been a proven formula
00:08:13.640 for my life, constantly.
00:08:16.640 My life, it's happened so many times.
00:08:18.640 I'm in the middle of the ocean yesterday in Fort Lauderdale.
00:08:23.640 And when Tom, his kids, and my kids, in the middle of the ocean, this husband and wife
00:08:27.640 run up to me while I'm with Tico, Dillon, and Senna.
00:08:30.640 Oh my gosh, we follow that.
00:08:32.640 You don't even know this.
00:08:33.640 They're talking to me and they said, we took our business from a half a million dollars
00:08:38.640 to ten million dollars a year simply because the content we devour.
00:08:42.640 They said, I tell you, I guarantee you, no one's devoured your content more than us.
00:08:47.640 We are students of this business.
00:08:49.640 I'm simply sharing with you stuff that's worked for me and my life.
00:08:53.640 Hopefully today's message to you inspires you to answer one question.
00:08:56.640 Are you willing to meet the demands?
00:08:57.640 If you do, the future looks bright.
00:08:58.640 Take care everybody.
00:08:59.640 Take care everybody.
