00:00:00.000 Everybody wants to know the key to success. How do I become successful? But in 1977,
00:00:04.000 when Muhammad Ali was being interviewed by Phil Donahue, Phil asked him a question. He says,
00:00:08.240 listen, what is the central part of your training? Is it running? Is it training? What is it? And
00:00:14.160 Ali's answer shocked the entire audience. It was funny. It was comical, but he was telling 100% 0.96
00:00:19.580 truth. And by the way, if you get value out of today's video and I give you the message,
00:00:23.460 give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. Let me get right into it.
00:00:26.280 So Ali's being asked this question, what is the central part of your training?
00:00:28.520 And this is what Ali says to Phil Donahue. He says, it's dodging the nightclubs and the parties
00:00:35.000 and the girls. You want the truth and being in bed by yourself at nine o'clock at night.
00:00:42.760 And if you can get by that, you'll make it. He says, and that's the truth. Now I'll tell you the truth.
00:00:49.860 Hitting the bags and jogging and vitamins won't. Dodging ladies is the main thing, 1.00
00:00:56.140 especially when you're pretty like me. So rather than answering the question of what to do,
00:01:01.100 he told you what not to do, right? I'm 24, 25 years old. I got big dreams, but I love playing
00:01:06.640 poker. When I would finish my last appointment at 10 o'clock at night, Tuesday nights, I would go
00:01:12.000 straight to commerce at a 45 minute drive. I'd go to commerce. I would play cards for three to four
00:01:17.140 hours. And then I would come back by five o'clock in the morning. I'd get three hours of sleep. Then I
00:01:21.520 would go run my appointments on Wednesday morning, getting three to four hours of sleep. So how
00:01:26.480 effective you think I was on Wednesday? You think I had maybe a little bit of a shorter fuse? You
00:01:30.420 think I could give my best to close or sell or explain my clients or build relationship? Well,
00:01:34.940 you think it was just kind of like, Hey, let me just kind of give you what I want to give you.
00:01:37.900 That was one of my distractions. The distractions prior to that was going to the nightclubs. The
00:01:42.520 distractions prior to that was women. As much as I was looking for the keys to success, 1.00
00:01:46.960 sometimes it was about what not to do, not going to the club, not going to the casino to play
00:01:51.660 blackjack, not going and hanging out with your friends till four in the morning, not doing any
00:01:55.580 of that stuff that was constant distraction from doing something big. So often rather than looking
00:02:01.900 for your to-do list, sometimes it's better to make a do not list. What not to do. Here's what I'm not
00:02:08.040 doing. I told my friends, I'm not going to the club. I'm not going to the pool hall. I'm not going to
00:02:11.820 the bar. I'm not going to Vegas. I'm not going to go hang out with another girlfriend of mine. I'm not
00:02:15.920 going to do any of this stuff that gets in my way. Instead, I'm going to take that time and develop
00:02:20.100 myself. And all of a sudden you're going to wake up one day saying, how the hell am I competing with
00:02:23.960 everybody that's best in my industry? It's because of what you didn't do, not necessarily what you did
00:02:29.320 do. So if you got value out of this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel. I got
00:02:33.700 another video I want you to watch. I gave a message seven months ago and the title of the message
00:02:39.360 keynote was will versus want. If you've never seen this video, click here to watch that video. Take care.
00:02:45.900 everybody. Bye-bye.
