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.
00:00:12.140
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.
00:00:24.540
Because he got so much success and he had no clue what to do after he retained the success
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.
00:00:51.780
Some of them win, they're like, well, let me tell you who I am.
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?
00:01:09.480
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.
00:01:28.860
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.
00:01:38.380
Recreating momentum is a very, very heavy task.
00:01:44.880
And this happens to the greatest of the greatest who don't sit there and identify their 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.
00:02:13.760
You can say, well, I wish I had somebody, Pat, that would tell me what I need to be doing next.
00:02:18.760
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.
00:02:39.460
And here are my next 5, 10, 15 moves to get to my next goal.
00:02:44.960
If you don't have that, every single time you're going to do this.
00:03:05.520
Because idle time, you're sitting there, and there's time to think.
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
00:03:22.140
And all of a sudden, too much idle time, not knowing how to handle victory, not having your necks identified, everything disappears.
00:03:33.720
So whoever you are watching this right now saying, Pat, this message is a little bit 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?
00:03:52.660
If you don't come up with it, that idle time is going to get you to go backwards.
00:03:56.100
