00:00:00.000 I want you to think about somebody named Alexander the Great who conquered 2 million square miles
00:00:03.660 and he was the most incredible, greatest leader, general we ever had.
00:00:10.040 And this guy's crushing it.
00:00:12.140 And then all of a sudden, after 2 million square miles, he comes back and he has so much idle time,
00:00:17.860 he starts drinking, partying, celebrating until he kills himself at the age of 33.
00:00:23.740 Do you know why?
00:00:24.540 Because he got so much success and he had no clue what to do after he retained the success
00:00:28.780 because he made one mistake.
00:00:30.580 He didn't know what was his next.
00:00:32.800 Let me put it through this way, what I mean by he didn't know what his next was.
00:00:35.680 Your biggest enemy sometimes when you're winning in life is winning.
00:00:39.380 I had a conversation the other day with a group of our guys and I said,
00:00:41.760 listen guys, let me tell you what I watch for people.
00:00:45.780 I watch people and see how they win.
00:00:48.480 Because it's so easy to win.
00:00:50.160 You know, you watch people who win.
00:00:51.780 Some of them win, they're like, well, let me tell you who I am.
00:00:53.900 I'm this, this, this, this.
00:00:55.920 Very few people know how to win.
00:00:57.260 Most people who win, they don't have a next milestone right afterwards.
00:01:01.720 Mario and I were having a conversation the other day.
00:01:03.360 Mario asked me a question and says, Pat, how do you,
00:01:06.460 what is it about the people that you see that keep advancing?
00:01:08.880 What do they do?
00:01:09.480 I said, every single time they reach a goal or a milestone,
00:01:13.080 immediately they have their next goal already set up.
00:01:16.740 Immediately they have their next set up.
00:01:18.980 Most people don't have it immediately.
00:01:20.820 Most people go and go and go and go and go.
00:01:23.040 Boom, they hit something.
00:01:24.120 Oh my gosh, I can't believe it.
00:01:25.840 But guess what?
00:01:26.800 Two months of celebration, boom.
00:01:28.860 And then to bring it back up, it's twice the effort.
00:01:32.480 Because you've got to recreate that momentum that took years to create.
00:01:36.860 You lost that momentum.
00:01:38.380 Recreating momentum is a very, very heavy task.
00:01:43.000 You've got to go through it all over again.
00:01:44.880 And this happens to the greatest of the greatest who don't sit there and identify their next.
00:01:50.620 And by the way, this is not your next move.
00:01:52.620 This is your next goal.
00:01:54.000 This is your next target.
00:01:55.860 This is your next milestone.
00:01:57.520 So I'll come back to you.
00:01:59.360 Maybe recently you had a victory.
00:02:01.400 What is your next?
00:02:02.560 And by the way, this is not other people's jobs.
00:02:05.740 This isn't somebody else's job to sit you down and identify your next.
00:02:10.240 This is your job.
00:02:11.760 Other people can be a source of inspiration.
00:02:13.760 You can say, well, I wish I had somebody, Pat, that would tell me what I need to be doing next.
00:02:17.780 Then that means you're a follower.
00:02:18.760 There's a part of you that will eventually in life, you've got to have those private conversations and say, my next goal is dot, dot, dot.
00:02:26.120 If you get to a point where every single time you reach a new marker, you say, dude, this was amazing.
00:02:31.580 This was so great.
00:02:33.160 Huh.
00:02:34.080 You know what?
00:02:35.640 I'm going for boom, boom, boom.
00:02:37.980 Next.
00:02:39.460 And here are my next 5, 10, 15 moves to get to my next goal.
00:02:43.160 Phenomenal.
00:02:44.020 Fire again.
00:02:44.960 If you don't have that, every single time you're going to do this.
00:02:47.360 Every single time you're going to do this.
00:02:48.840 It's one of the most frustrating things.
00:02:50.260 By the way, you know, you get what you want.
00:02:53.900 You're winning.
00:02:54.300 All the stuff that happens.
00:02:56.200 Alexander's enemy was what?
00:02:58.040 Idle time.
00:03:00.180 Idle time. 1.00
00:03:01.120 It sucks. 0.99
00:03:02.940 It's scary. 1.00
00:03:04.280 It's a drug.
00:03:05.520 Because idle time, you're sitting there, and there's time to think.
00:03:08.880 Don't get me wrong.
00:03:09.480 There's time for you to sit there and think and strategize.
00:03:11.900 But some people have way too much idle time and they have too much time on their hands. 1.00
00:03:14.640 Ooh, people do stupid things. 0.99
00:03:17.200 You can do 10 years focused, dedicated. 1.00
00:03:20.540 You did everything right.
00:03:22.140 And all of a sudden, too much idle time, not knowing how to handle victory, not having your necks identified, everything disappears.
00:03:29.540 10 years, you build it.
00:03:31.940 Idle time ruined everything for you.
00:03:33.720 So whoever you are watching this right now saying, Pat, this message is a little bit scary.
00:03:37.300 It's actually not scary.
00:03:38.420 Just got every single time you win, put your next milestone in place and say, I'm going after this thing.
00:03:43.000 And if you don't have one right now after watching this video, take a few moments to yourself and say, what's my next thing I'm going after?
00:03:50.160 And if it fires you up, go chase it.
00:03:52.660 If you don't come up with it, that idle time is going to get you to go backwards.
