Valuetainment - Why Everyone Eventually Quits

00:00:00.000 What if I told you everybody eventually quits? Yes, you. What if I told you everybody, including

00:00:04.580 you, including everybody, the guy that you admire, everybody eventually quits? Would you believe it?

00:00:09.660 Let me make my case to you. And if I make my case to you and it makes sense, give it a thumbs up,

00:00:14.520 comment below, and subscribe to the channel. So here's what I mean by everybody quits. You know,

00:00:18.020 you know how when you were a kid and you're building this Lego and you're looking at the

00:00:22.000 thing and you're like, man, I missed one piece and I screwed this whole thing up. I can't believe I

00:00:26.160 did this and you sit there and you hit a wall where you're like, there's no way I can figure

00:00:29.900 this out. Five minutes later, 10 minutes later, 20 minutes later, 30 minutes later, you figure out

00:00:34.260 the one piece that you did. You move it, you put it in, then everything works out and you go back at

00:00:37.740 it. 30 minutes later, the piece is over. You're like, that's freaking sick. I was able to put this

00:00:41.820 piece together. It's 3,000 pieces, whatever, right? Or you're a kid, you're playing a video game. You're

00:00:45.900 like, I can't get past this level of Final Fantasy or whatever this game is you're playing that's an

00:00:50.540 RPG or technical game. I can't get past this monster. I can't get past this level. I just can't do it.

00:00:55.460 You're so annoyed. You quit, but you come back. You try again. You try again. You try again.

00:00:59.780 Boom. All of a sudden you beat this guy. You're like 13 years old. I can't believe I did this.

00:01:03.700 Pretty sick. I can't believe I figured this out. So you didn't quit. You figured it out. Okay.

00:01:07.960 So you say, you know, I don't know if I can edit at this level. I don't know if I can sell at this

00:01:13.160 level. I don't know if I can speak at this level. Whatever your trade, maybe whatever it is you're

00:01:17.900 doing, you hit something where you say, I don't know if I can figure this part out. It's intimidating.

00:01:21.740 I don't know if I can do it. Then you figure it out because you didn't quit. You eventually got

00:01:26.760 there, right? Okay. So how many times have you figured something out that you thought was

00:01:31.480 intimidating? That's something that was impossible. I'm never going to figure this out. How many times

00:01:34.780 have you done that before? How many times have you done something that at one point you didn't think

00:01:39.260 you had the capabilities to figure that part out? How many times? And why did you figure it out?

00:01:43.300 And how did you figure it out? Did you figure it out because you kept trying different angles

00:01:47.000 until all of a sudden you're like, dude, this is not as hard as I thought it was. You ever done something

00:01:50.860 that at one point was hard and now you do, you're like, this is a joke. Like this is ridiculous how

00:01:56.020 easy this is, right? So eventually the same happens with people in their industry, whatever they're

00:02:02.240 doing. They go here, look, oh my gosh, so tough. I figured out. They go here, there's no way I'm

00:02:07.880 going to figure it out. They go here, there's no way I'm going to figure it out. Eventually you will quit

00:02:12.720 using that same muscle that helped you crack through whatever challenge or whatever new skill you're

00:02:18.840 having a hard time learning. Eventually you're going to get to a level that you're going to be

00:02:22.840 content with that level you've reached and your muscle of trying to figure it out before. Like

00:02:29.700 there's no way I'm going to stop until I figure this out. Eventually that goes away. And by the way,

00:02:33.500 by the way, he said, come on, Pat, there's no way everybody quits. I'm telling you people at the

00:02:39.400 highest level, just because a person's like a boss of a 50 people, maybe he quit understanding what it is

00:02:45.500 to work with different personalities to get him to leading how a hundred employees will be or 200

00:02:50.820 employees or 400 employees or a thousand employees. So he's like, he's good enough for 50 or she's good

00:02:55.320 enough for 25 or he's good enough to do certain things at this level. And he's content with the

00:03:00.400 results he's getting. And he doesn't realize the same attitude of never quitting that helped him get

00:03:05.320 to that position. If he continues with that attitude, there's three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

00:03:10.460 nine levels ahead of him that he can get to, but will only happen if he goes back and digs in and

00:03:16.100 remembers what it felt like to not quit until you crack the code to get to the next level. Very

00:03:21.440 annoying. I'm telling you very annoying because I'm a by-product of 20 years. Every time, not thinking

00:03:28.540 I can get to the next level. And at one point I'm like, screw this next level. I'm content. I'm like, no,

00:03:33.480 we got to crack this code. And then you crack the code like shit. This is actually cool. This is actually 1.00

00:03:38.500 interesting, but hopefully for you, I hope you're not yet at the point that you're quitting to upgrade

00:03:44.460 to the next level. Yes, you may, maybe you're a little content right now. You need to hear this

00:03:47.840 message. Hopefully this kind of pissed you off a little bit and inspired you to say, I'm done

00:03:53.060 quitting at this level. Maybe I'm going to go 10 more levels before I quit. Great. Keep continuing to

00:03:57.560 figure out how to get to the next level. Anyways, having said that, um, I did a video seven years ago

00:04:02.660 titled 10 reasons to never give up. If you've never seen this video, click here to watch that

00:04:08.360 video. And if this video gave you inspiration and some value, give it a thumbs up and subscribe
