0:28 So you got like a four cylinder, you got
0:30 a sixcylinder, you got an eight
0:31 cylinder. I hear there's even a
0:33 12cylinder, right? What's the difference
0:35 between a fourcylinder, sixcylinder, 8
0:36 cylinder? [music]
0:38 What's the difference? Say it again.
0:41 That's deep. Yeah. Yep. That's deep,
0:44 right? Power. I like that. Right. And so
0:45 when you think about power, what can you
0:47 do with power? A whole bunch of stuff.
0:50 Right. So, so, so what happens then is
0:52 based on what you tell me, that's going
0:54 to determine what kind of engine you
0:57 working with. So, we all got skill.
0:59 Everybody like what what position do you
1:02 play? Good. Give me the average, you
1:04 know, like height for a center. 610.
1:05 Give me some like give me some
1:07 dimensions. 610
1:10 72 wingspan. Good. What about weight?
1:13 Good. So, so the average dude that's
1:16 playing center, he ain't 6'4.
1:19 If he's 6'4, he ain't doing what? He not
1:22 playing center. So, every center pretty
1:24 much looks alike. So, what's the
1:26 difference between what's the difference
1:28 between the centers? That's the
1:29 difference between two dudes who playing
1:32 center. If y'all both got the same skill
1:33 set, what's going to separate you is the
1:36 will. That's what's going to separate
1:39 you. And will is power. So, everybody
1:41 got the same skill set, but what
1:43 separates you is the will. That's what
1:45 separates you. That's when you got two
1:47 dogs that come up against each other.
1:49 Somebody got to take a L and somebody
1:51 taking a W. Right? So first quarter,
1:53 first half, second half, it you that's
1:56 what happens. So then how does how do we
1:59 create power? We create power by our
2:01 drive, by our engine. That's how we
2:03 create power. So that's why I ask you,
2:05 what do you want? Now I'm going to be
2:06 real. I ain't got no reason to lie to
2:08 y'all. The average person that I talk to
2:12 say championship and they say
2:14 NBA. Y'all, you said something deeper
2:16 than that. Matter of fact, bro, you
2:19 really said it. I don't The average dude
2:20 that's in the league don't even want to
2:21 be in the league, bro. The average dude
2:23 in the league ain't trying to play 82
2:25 games, right? What else is he not trying
2:28 to do? Let's be real. 8 82 games. What
2:30 What else is he not trying to do? What
2:31 are you Some of you not trying to do.
2:33 You love the game, but what are you not
2:35 trying to do? I'm not trying to go to
2:38 recovery. Bottom line, I don't feel like
2:41 being in recovery. What else? Workouts.
2:44 Good. What else? Travel. What else? Say
2:48 it again. Practice.
2:50 film weight. YOU FEEL WHAT I'M SAYING?
2:53 LIKE I JUST keep it 100, bro. Most of us
2:55 ain't trying to do that. You feel me? So
2:56 when Cat say, "I want to go to the NBA."
2:57 No, you don't. You want to take care of
3:01 your mama. That's what you want to do.
3:03 Because if you can make $40 million
3:05 without going to the league and make $40
3:08 million going to some school every day,
3:10 helping a group of kids, and you can get
3:11 up and go whatever you wanted to, you
3:13 can do one day a week, two days a week,
3:14 go train them. Which one would you do?
3:17 through the league, 82 games, practice,
3:19 injury, travel. Which one would you
3:23 Which one would you take? Same 40 mil
3:25 going to the kids.
3:27 It ain't rocket science. So, let's be
3:30 100. Most of us ain't trying to do this,
3:33 right? So, if we're not trying to do it,
3:35 what happens is when you do it the first
3:37 half, you do it a little bit, maybe a
3:38 little lot, then you get the second
3:39 half, then it get hard, then you quit.
3:40 You like, I ain't trying to do this.
3:42 Now, you might not say you quitting, but
3:44 you're not giving 120%. Man, does that
3:46 make sense? All right, so let's do this.
3:47 Y'all got to be fair and one of y'all
3:49 tell the truth. How many of you have
3:51 been in a game and somewhere in the
3:53 game, you lost interest in the game?
3:55 Just be honest. One person, you play the
3:57 game and you lost interest. Let me see
3:59 your hands.
4:01 Just lost interest. And so when you lose
4:04 interest, you lose what? You lose power.
4:05 That's what happens. So you lost
4:06 interest. You like, I ain't really
4:09 trying to be here. So you lost power. So
4:10 the reason why I'm asking you, what do
4:12 you want? Because if you know what you
4:15 want, that can drive you. So you say,
4:16 who said they want to take care of their
4:17 mama? Good. You want to take care of
4:19 your mama. What is that? Where you from?
4:21 St. Paul, Minnesota. Good. And when you
4:22 say take care of your mama, what does
4:26 that look like? Love it. Love it. So,
4:27 and again, we just going to be honest.
4:30 It's a small group. How many times have
4:31 you practiced and played the game and
4:33 watched film? Did you really think about
4:35 that and had that at the front of your
4:38 mind? Bingo. I asked him. He was like, I
4:39 he ain't even his mama. He was like,
4:41 "Uh, I've definitely not had it on the
4:43 front of my mind." You feel me? So, what
4:44 happens when you put it in the front of
4:46 your mind? You go from a four cylinder
4:48 to a 12cylinder. And here's the crazy
4:51 part. The cylinders are in you, but when
4:52 you're not interested, you go to a four
4:55 instead of a 12. And what my job is is
4:58 to find a way to make the best you show
5:00 up. Does that make sense? How many games
5:03 do you play? So, my goal is to make your
5:06 will show up for 35 games. Because if
5:08 your will shows up for 35 games, you
5:09 going to beat the average team because
5:11 they just come in with what? They just
5:13 come in with skill, bro. And they too
5:15 don't want to be there. And they too
5:17 don't want to practice. And they two out
5:19 of out of everything, which one do you
5:21 hate the most? Let's be real. Which one
5:22 out of what you have to do in
5:24 basketball, which one do you hate the
5:26 most? Practice.
5:28 And you got to do that more than
5:30 anything else. AIN'T THAT CRAZY? LIKE
5:32 THE ONE THING YOU HATE, THAT'S THE THING
5:34 YOU GOT TO DO THE MOST OF. IT AIN'T LIKE
5:36 YOU PLAYING MOST OF the time. You only
5:38 plan how many days a week? TWO DAYS A
5:42 WEEK. HOW many hours? TWO HOURS. THAT'S
5:44 IT. YOU PLAY FOUR HOURS TOPS. HOW MANY
5:46 HOURS YOU PRACTICING? You can't even
5:48 think. He like I don't I He just I just
5:50 start looking disgust. My man was like,
5:52 "I can't even count it."
5:54 So you SEE THE PROBLEM WE HAVE HERE. WE
5:58 GOT A PROBLEM. We got a problem with you
5:59 skilled enough, but maybe you're not
6:02 willed enough. Does that make sense? All
6:03 right. We good? Does that make sense?
6:05 Good. So, we got to ask the question,
6:08 what drives you? What? Write that down.
6:12 What drives me? What drives me? And
6:13 every day when you wake up, I need you
6:15 to tap into that power. Now, there are a
6:17 couple things that drive me. So, the
6:19 first thing that drive me, and if you
6:21 know my story, don't say nothing, but I
6:23 left the crib at 16. The very first time
6:25 I ran away from home, I was like between
6:28 12 and 13. I called my mom, right?
6:31 Because the person that was raising me
6:33 was 6'8. And as you could tell, I'm not
6:36 6'8. You feel me? I I ain't even start
6:38 growing. Like I had a growth spurt at 16
6:40 and you could tell it wasn't a big one.
6:41 You feel me? Like it wasn't a lot,
6:43 right? So imagine how short I was in
6:45 high school. So people used to tell me
6:46 all the time like, "Yo, bro, I ain't
6:47 trying to be funny, but you know that
6:48 ain't your father, don't you?" I was
6:50 like, "What? You know that ain't your
6:52 father." I said, "That's my father.
6:53 That's not your father." I'm like,
6:55 "Yeah, it's my father." Cuz if it wasn't
6:57 my father, who would have told me? [music]
6:57 [music]
6:59 My mom would have told me it was where
7:01 my father. She ain't never said nothing.
7:02 So it's got to be my father. You know
7:04 what I'm saying? That's my sister.
7:06 That's my sister. So I think I was about
7:08 12, almost 13 years old. I called my mom
7:09 one day at the job. Was like, "Look, ma,
7:11 just be real with me. Just keep it 100.
7:14 Don't lie to me. Is this man my father?"
7:16 She was like, "No, he's not your father,
7:19 but I was going to tell you." I was like, "When?"
7:21 like, "When?"
7:23 Like 18, 17. Like when was you going to
7:24 get to it? She's like, "I was going to
7:26 get to it." So you can imagine when your
7:28 mama lied to you about your father. Like
7:29 what do you think happened between me
7:32 and my mom's relationship?
7:33 It went down. Why? Because I couldn't
7:35 what? Good. And what do you think
7:36 happened to the person that was raising
7:38 me that I thought was my father? Went
7:40 down. What do you think I said to
7:43 myself? You ain't my daddy. Flat out. So
7:44 I went to school with that mentality.
7:46 The whole nine. So I started running
7:48 away from the crib when I was 12. I
7:50 would come back, be gone 3 days, a week,
7:51 come back. When I was 16, I left for goods.
7:53 goods.
7:55 When I was homeless for good, you on the
7:57 street city treasure. A lot of stuff
7:58 that happened. Almost got shot a couple
8:00 times. A lot of stuff happened, right?
8:02 So I'm homeless. 16, 17 [music] years
8:04 old. I started hanging out with my boy
8:06 Bob. Bob started bringing me to church.
8:07 Like I'll never forget the first time I
8:08 went to church. I was like, "God, we
8:10 homeless. What we going to do?" He was
8:13 like, "We ain't no We not homeless. You
8:15 homeless. [music] We not homeless. You
8:16 the one making them crazy decisions." So
8:18 I remember, you know, being at a
8:20 revival. Like I ain't grow up in church.
8:21 I ain't never seen my mother pray. My
8:23 father who raised me, I ain't never seen
8:24 him pray. Like we didn't go to church.
8:26 We ain't do that. And I remember my man
8:27 was preaching. He was just talking about
8:30 like before your mama made you, God knew
8:32 you were in the womb. Like for real, you
8:35 got to understand I'm I'm 17, bro. 16,
8:38 17. If my mom lied to me about who my
8:40 father was and my mom got pregnant at
8:43 17, I'm thinking I'm a what? I'm a
8:45 mistake. So my whole life I'm walking
8:47 around like I'm a mistake, bro. Like you
8:48 ain't really want me. You got pregnant
8:50 at 17 years old. I don't even know why
8:51 you didn't have an abortion. I messed
8:53 your life up. You messed my life up. Now
8:54 I'm about to mess your life up. That's
8:57 what I was on. I was about 17. Started
8:58 going to church. The pastor did this
9:01 thing in Isaiah. IT WAS CRAZY. MY MAN
9:03 WAS LIKE, "YO, BEFORE YOUR MOTHER KNEW
9:05 YOU, GOD CALLED YOU." And I'm like,
9:06 "Ooh, that's pretty deep." You know what
9:08 I'm saying? I'M LIKE, I LIKE THAT. YOU
9:10 KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? BECAUSE IF THAT'S
9:12 THE TRUTH, AND I AIN'T NO CHRISTIAN. I
9:13 DON'T REALLY KNOW GOD LIKE THAT. BUT I'M
9:15 HOPING THAT'S THE TRUTH. Because if it's
9:17 the truth, then it means what? I'm not a
9:20 mistake. And if I'm not a mistake, then
9:22 that means I was born with a what? With
9:24 a purpose. I WAS LIKE,
9:27 "LET'S [screaming] GO." MY MOM DIDN'T
9:28 EVEN KNOW. I'M LIKE, "LET'S GO." AND
9:30 THEN THE PASTOR, LIKE, my man would come
9:31 up to me every week. He was like, "Yo,
9:33 E, did you graduate from high school?"
9:34 And I was like, "Nope." He was like,
9:35 "You need to get your GED and go to
9:37 college." And I was like, "Bro, how am I
9:39 going to go to college? I ain't finished
9:40 high school." He's like, "Just get your
9:43 GED and I'll write a letter of referral,
9:44 a recommendation letter." And I was
9:46 like, "Is that possible?" He was like,
9:47 "Yeah." I was like, "All right, bet."
9:49 started dating this girl at the church.
9:51 I'll never forget, she was a year
9:52 younger than me. She came to me one day.
9:54 I was I was out of high school for two
9:56 years, bro. My boys were selling dope.
9:57 We were stealing cars off truck. [music]
9:59 It We was just doing some crazy stuff.
10:00 And she came to me. I used to go to
10:01 church every week. I never missed
10:03 church. Wednesday night prayer meeting.
10:05 I walked two hours to get there. I never
10:07 missed church. Y'all watch this. My girl
10:08 came to me and she was like, "Look, I
10:10 got I got to tell you something." I was
10:11 like, "What's up?" She's like, "Do you
10:13 love me?" I was like, "Yeah, I mean we
10:14 18." You know what I'm saying? Like
10:15 whatever that mean, you know what I'm
10:17 saying? I love you, but like what do you
10:19 mean? She's like, "No, do you love me?"
10:20 I was like, "I guess. What does that
10:21 mean?" She's like, "Look, I'm going to
10:22 college. If you don't go with me, I'm
10:24 breaking up with you." I was like, "You
10:26 doing what?" She's like, "I'm going to
10:27 break up with you if I go to college." I
10:29 ain't stupid. I ain't go to college, but
10:31 I know if my girl go to college, pretty
10:34 little red bone. I know if she go to
10:36 college for 4 years and I stay back in
10:38 Detroit, what's going to happen?
10:39 Somebody going to scoop her. I ain't I
10:41 might be I might not be the smartest
10:43 apple, but I ain't stupid. I went and
10:45 studied, got my G, bro. got in a whip
10:48 with her and went to college flat out. I
10:49 told the pastor, I was like, "Yo, bro,
10:51 are you serious? Can you really hook me
10:52 up?" He's like, "I got you. I graduated
10:54 from there. I'm a pastor. I'm going to
10:55 write a letter. It's a Christian school.
10:57 They going to let you in. Now, you going
10:58 to have to take like remedial classes
11:00 and stuff, but I could get you in." I'm
11:02 like, "Bet." Followed her to college.
11:04 Got to college, y'all. I'll never forget
11:06 I flunked out. That took me 12 years to
11:08 get a 40 degree. But I remember the
11:09 first time they had this Christian like
11:11 program and they was like, "Yo, E, they
11:12 don't even know me." It was like, "We
11:13 want you to speak." I don't even know
11:14 how they asked me to speak. It was like
11:15 something called commencement or
11:17 something. It was like for freshman and
11:18 one freshman get to your address for all
11:20 fresh. I got up and got on the mic and
11:22 preached and was like whoa. Like it
11:24 wasn't EVEN A SERMON. BUT I FELT LIKE
11:26 JUST LIKE WHEN you get the rock in your
11:27 hand, you got all them people in the
11:29 stand. You got your family in the stand.
11:32 They got the TV on. Talk to me, bro.
11:34 When when when you in that mode, you you
11:36 out there doing your thing, everybody
11:37 watching. How does that make you feel
11:39 with that rock in your hand?
11:42 Invincible, bro. What if you had a
11:44 football in your hand?
11:46 or a soccer ball, how would you feel?
11:48 You don't even know. But with the
11:51 basketball, YOU FEEL INVINCIBLE. THAT'S
11:53 HOW I FELT WHEN I GOT THE MIC. WHEN I
11:55 GOT THE MIC IN MY HAND, I WAS LIKE,
11:57 "WOO, I could do this." And so, the
11:59 first time in my life, I had purpose.
12:01 So, I started getting in the word. And
12:05 that purpose, it it drove me that like,
12:07 "Yo, E, you got to save the world."
12:08 Like, you the Martin Luther King of
12:09 2019. When I wake up, y'all, that's why
12:11 I wake up so FIRED UP. LIKE, YO, I AM
12:13 THE MARTIN LUTHER King of this
12:15 generation. Like, flat out. When older
12:16 people don't know who I am, I don't be
12:18 tripping. My man like 50, 60, 70 years
12:20 old. Like, I don't know who you are. I'm
12:22 sure you don't. But if you was 19 and
12:24 didn't know who I was. If you was 24 and
12:26 you ain't know who I was, I'd have a
12:27 problem. Are you hearing what I'm
12:28 saying? So, the NBA player of course
12:30 rocked with me. Chris uh CP3 just did a
12:32 shoe with all my quotes on it. This is
12:35 my generation. The millennials are mine.
12:37 I wake up every day doing a video, not
12:39 to get paid. Don't nobody pay me to DO
12:41 THOSE VIDEOS. WHY DO I DO IT? CUZ I got
12:43 purpose. That's my drive. That's my
12:45 engine. That's why you see me so pumped
12:47 up. Cuz I wake up and like, God got a
12:48 mission for me. CHECK. IF I WAKE UP,
12:50 IT'S SHOWTIME. I'M LIKE, GOD, I JUST
12:53 NEED ONE FAVOR. Just wake me up. Like, I
12:55 can't do that on my own. I swear though,
12:57 if you wake me up, it's I'm It's a wrap.
12:59 I'm about to motivate somebody, inspire
13:01 somebody. I'm about to get somebody
13:03 through chemotherapy. I'm about to get
13:04 somebody who got a divorce back together
13:06 again. I'm about to get some CHILD THAT
13:07 AIN'T TALKING to their family. I'm about
13:08 to get them back again. I'm about to get
13:10 some dude who dropped out the league to
13:11 get back in the lead. I'm about to get
13:13 some girl who failed her board exam to
13:15 take it again. I JUST LET JUST WAKE ME
13:18 UP. That's that engine. And so for a lot
13:20 of you, for real, you a 12cylinder, but
13:22 you acting like a four cylinder cuz you
13:24 ain't got no drive.
13:26 And and when you don't have drive and
13:28 they making you go to practice, WELL, OF
13:30 COURSE YOU CAN'T DO PRACTICE. But if you
13:32 don't think about practice no more, but
13:34 you think about who?
13:36 Uh, so, so what I'm saying to you is
13:38 every time you get up and grind, you
13:40 that much closer. So when you do
13:41 practice, I don't want you to see
13:43 practice no more. I don't want YOU TO
13:45 SEE PRACTICE NO MORE. I WANT YOU TO SEE
13:47 I'M ABOUT TO CASH MY MAMA OUT. EVERY
13:49 PLAYBOOK. I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKE THE
13:51 PLAYBOOK OR NOT. HE JUST TOLD YOU I WAS
13:54 DR. THOMAS. I HATE SCHOOL.
13:56 I hate school. There's nothing about
13:58 school I like. And I went to Michigan
13:59 State, which means that I was going to
14:01 school with minus 10° with 12 inches of
14:03 snow on the ground. I hate school in
14:05 January. I hate school in February. I
14:06 just hate school. I'm a high school
14:10 dropout. At no point is my is my degree
14:12 hanging in my office.
14:14 Is my degree hanging in the house? You
14:16 know where my degree is? No, I don't
14:19 either. That's how much I hate school. I
14:21 don't even want to see it. I'm being
14:22 real. Like I don't even want to see my
14:24 PhD. I don't even want to be reminded of
14:26 school. That's how much I hate it. You
14:29 know why I went to got a PhD?
14:30 Because if I want to be number one
14:31 motivational speaker in the world as an
14:33 African-American, I got to have all I
14:35 got to have all the credentials, bro. If
14:36 I want to be number one, I got to be
14:38 better. I got to do more. It's just
14:39 real. Ain't nobody tripping. I ain't
14:42 tripping. You hear what I'm telling you?
14:44 So, bro, I hate school, but I had to do
14:46 it. Why? Cuz I wanted to be number one
14:47 in the world. And I woke up one day and
14:49 was like, "Yo, Tony Robinson making how
14:51 much?" But you know what I realized? I
14:53 didn't had a language he had. I'm not
14:55 mad. So, I didn't go to school TO GET A
14:57 DEGREE. I WENT TO MICHIGAN STATE TO
14:59 LEARN THE LANGUAGE.
15:00 AND I SAT IN THE CLASS and listened to
15:02 all them teachers talk. And I was like,
15:05 "Oo, that's how you say it. THAT'S THE
15:07 WORD YOU USE. YOU DON'T SAY TEACH, YOU
15:10 SAY PEDIGOGY?" WELL, PEDIGOGY it is. [laughter]
15:11 [laughter]
15:13 Let's go.
15:15 Are you hearing WHAT I'M SAYING? I'LL DO
15:17 WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE 50 RACKS an
15:19 hour. I'll do whatever IT TAKES TO FEED
15:21 MY FAMILY. I did the four year, the
15:23 masters, the PhD. I hated every minute
15:25 of it. But I tell you something. I hate
15:28 school, but I love freedom. I love
15:29 having my freedom, bro. I love choices.
15:31 I only fly first class. I was just
15:33 flying private jet with CP3. I love
15:36 options, bro. I love options more than I
15:38 hate school. And at the rate some of you
15:40 going, you don't like practice. Well,
15:43 wait. Do you get a load of real life? [music]
16:03 So, we're going to be very intentional
16:05 and deliberate, right? There's some
16:06 stuff we're going to do every Monday,
16:09 every Tuesday, every Wednesday, every
16:10 Thursday, every Friday, [music]
16:12 every Saturday, every Sunday. We're
16:14 going to be very intentional and
16:15 deliberate. And we're not going to let
16:16 success happen to us. We're going to go
16:19 take it. We're going to go create it.
16:21 We're going to make up something that
16:22 never existed before. I don't know. And
16:24 maybe you guys know more than I [music]
16:26 do, but I don't know any motivational
16:27 speaker in the world with a baseball hat
16:31 and a pair of Yeezys.
16:33 I I don't know. With the blue jeans on,
16:34 I don't I don't I don't know the guy
16:36 with the shorts and the t-shirt. Last
16:38 [music] time I checked, they all had on
16:41 a nice white shirt with a nice blazer,
16:45 right? And they all had a certain look.
16:48 We made something that didn't exist
16:51 before. We created it. We call it the
16:54 hip-hop preacher. We made it up and we
16:56 made it popular. As a matter of fact, if
16:58 you go online now, there are many
16:59 sources that would say we're where in
17:02 the world, CJ, number one in the world.
17:05 We made it up. So, if it doesn't exist,
17:08 don't worry. Make it up. No, I'm being
17:09 honest. YOU THINK I'M WINNING? I JUST
17:12 MAKE IT UP. I'm a college graduate with
17:14 a PhD. Never happened in my family
17:16 before. I made it up. Nobody in my
17:17 family has ever written books. HE JUST
17:20 MADE IT UP. CJ's a graduate. Candace is
17:22 a graduate. Carl is a graduate. TAMISHA
17:26 IS A GRADUATE. WE JUST MADE IT UP.
17:28 And here we are in New Zealand. Let me
17:29 tell you something. Most people [music]
17:33 that I grew up with will never see this.
17:34 They'll never see this place. And we've
17:37 been all over the world. So, look, you
17:39 can make it up. You have [music] within
17:42 you the ability not to be a copycat. You
17:44 have an ability to go to an industry and
17:46 change that industry forever. It's in
17:48 you. And that's why you're in this room.
17:50 And that's why I'm challenging you when
17:52 you walk out of this room. Anybody see
17:54 the St. Louis video I did where I was
17:56 going off on this kid at a high school?
17:57 Anybody raise your hand? I just want to
17:59 see a couple people who saw hands out.
18:00 Watch this guy. People ask me, "Why
18:01 would [music] you do that?" I said,
18:03 "Because I love you." And I saw
18:05 greatness in him. And if you love
18:06 [music] somebody, you see greatness in
18:07 them. You can't let them walk out and
18:10 stay the same. So I'm challenging you
18:12 today [music] because greatness is in
18:14 you. And I need you to activate it. All
18:16 right. So before I go to my last two
18:18 slides, this is going to be painful for
18:19 some of you, [music] but I need you to
18:20 think about what I'm going to say. And I
18:21 want you to be honest. Nobody's
18:23 watching. Nobody I'm not collecting
18:27 [music] this. I want you to be honest.
18:28 The highest scale is 120%. And people
18:31 ask me, ET, why not 100? Because 100%
18:32 means that you do [music] exactly what
18:34 they tell you to do and you do it very
18:36 well. 120% means you know the
18:38 benchmarks, you reach the benchmarks
18:40 with [music] greatness, and then you
18:43 create your own benchmarks. That's 120.
18:46 So on a scale being 120 is the highest.
18:48 Would you say ET in terms of my life, in
18:50 terms of being intentional, in terms of
18:51 going at it, in terms of creating what
18:53 does not exist in terms of waking up
18:56 every day and boom, making the most of
18:59 every day, I can honestly say I'm at
19:02 120%, I'm giving everything I have. I
19:03 don't have anything else left. You're
19:05 giving 120. I just want you to raise
19:07 your hand. I'm giving 100. I don't have
19:10 nothing else left. ET, I'm giving 90%.
19:13 I'm giving about 90% effort right now.
19:15 Okay. 80%. Raise your hand. I'm giving
19:17 about 80% effort. Good. [music] Write it
19:19 down. Write it down. I'M GIVING I KNOW
19:21 ME AND I KNOW WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF. E I'M
19:23 PROBABLY GIVING 70% EFFORT. LET ME SEE
19:26 YOUR HAND. 70% EFFORT. GOOD. Hands down.
19:29 60%. Write down the number. 60%. Good.
19:32 Good. 50%. E. I know me. I'm probably
19:36 Let me tell you. Let me tell you
19:38 something. New Zealand Air. Is it New
19:40 Zealand Airlines? Is that what it is?
19:43 Let me tell y'all something.
19:45 We were in We We [music] were in We were
19:47 in England and we flew to Poland and
19:53 And when I saw the airplane, I said,
19:55 "Something's wrong.
19:59 This is crayon. Somebody used crayons,
20:00 right? It's like four colors." I'm like,
20:01 "There's something wrong with this,
20:03 [music] right?" I don't never been on it
20:05 before, but it looks average.
20:07 We had to walk and go [music] down and
20:09 walk like a mile to get on the plane.
20:11 I'm like, "Okay, something's wrong.
20:14 We're walking a mile, a mile.5. This is
20:15 This [music] is I could have I could
20:17 have jogged this." We start walking in.
20:19 I saw the seats. I saw the way the
20:20 people were. And I was like, "Unbelievable."
20:22 "Unbelievable."
20:24 One girl had like on a blue hookup.
20:26 Another one had on the orange. My man
20:28 had on like lime green. Like nobody was
20:29 matching. I was [music] like, "This is average."
20:31 average."
20:32 I'll be honest with y'all. We fly
20:34 Virgin. And so the Virgin told us, "All
20:35 the flights are gone. You guys are going
20:37 to be on New Zealand Air." I'd never
20:38 been on New Zealand Air before in my
20:40 life. I asked a lady, I was like, "Are
20:42 they are they good?" Like, "Y'all
20:43 switching with them?" Like, "Y I bought
20:45 from Virgin. Y'all [music] switching
20:49 with New We are going to be fine." So we
20:50 walked up to [music] the We walked up to
20:52 the counter. All of them had on the same
20:56 exact outfit. I was like,
20:57 "They looking I told her I said, "You
21:00 looking good, right?" Everybody was
21:02 friendly, right? Everybody's like that
21:04 family atmosphere. Matter of fact, we
21:05 had a little challenge and we didn't
21:06 know what our flight was. She like,
21:07 "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of
21:09 it. I'll call Virgin for you." She
21:11 called my man at Virgin. He walked over
21:12 and brought our returning tickets. I was
21:15 like, "Yes." We get on the plane. I'm
21:17 like, "Oo,
21:20 do they lay down?" I'M LIKE, "WE ABOUT
21:22 TO LAY DOWN TO GO THERE." WOW. TV'S
21:25 POPPED OUT but TV.
21:27 I'm like, "Wow." I couldn't sit down.
21:29 What you like? Champagne, apple juice,
21:31 orange juice. I was just like, "Can I
21:33 have everything?" I was like, "No pick."
21:34 I was like, "Well, I'll take the orange
21:35 juice then." I'm talking about, "Man,
21:37 but then we had a conversation. I don't
21:38 remember the young lady's name, but we
21:40 had a conversation with her for about 25
21:42 minutes." I was like, "Can you do that?
21:44 Don't you have a job?" We were in the
21:46 air. She just And where are you from?
21:47 And you do what? And it's not your first
21:48 time. She said, "How many restaurants
21:51 did she tell us about?" See, about six.
21:52 The Grill. You remember any other ones
21:54 that were on there? That's just a whole
21:55 bunch of restaurants. I'm talking about
21:57 I didn't want to get off. When we
21:59 landed, I was just It was like, "E." I'm
22:01 like, I'm good. I'm [laughter]
22:02 I'm like, I hope when we go back they
22:04 cancel Virgin cuz I don't want to fly
22:07 Virgin no more. I want new there. I
22:11 mean, it was an incredible experience. 120%.
22:12 120%.
22:16 120%. I went in the bathroom, guys. The
22:19 bathroom had a window. I was like,
22:22 [laughter] I LOVE IT. LOOK, I I WENT
22:23 BACK. I DIDN'T EVEN USE THE BATHROOM. I
22:25 WENT BACK AND GRABBED MY PHONE AND WENT
22:27 IN THERE AND DID A VIDEO. [laughter]
22:28 I was like, "All right, y'all. First
22:30 time. You're not going to believe this.
22:31 Okay. You see that? And then they had
22:32 What was the little decorative thing
22:34 they had in the Was it like a It was a
22:38 towel made like a What was it? What's
22:39 that again?
22:41 >> Yeah, there we go. Origami. She's
22:42 smarter than I am. Right. I didn't know
22:44 the name for it. Right. And I'm It's
22:46 right I'm saying what? Like a cruise
22:48 ship. It's right there. And so I'm in
22:50 the bathroom videoing. I forgot to use
22:52 the bathroom. Right. I was so excited.
22:54 That's 120. And can I tell you the
22:57 truth? I hate when people give 70% but
22:58 they want the life of somebody that's
23:00 giving 120%.
23:02 I challenge you. Your life is where it
23:03 is because of the percentage that you're giving.
23:05 giving.
23:07 That's why I get up at that's why I get
23:08 up at 2:00 in the morning. Why? Because
23:11 I'm 120 and I'm living the 120
23:13 experience. All right. So, let's get out
23:14 of here. All right. All right. All
23:15 right. Real quick, I got to go. All
23:17 right. So, all right. So, what's your
23:18 routine? I need you to have a routine. I
23:20 want you to get up at the same time
23:22 every day for the rest of your natural
23:24 life or earlier.
23:26 Right? Take breaks [music] when you need
23:29 to take breaks. Your body will tell you,
23:30 your creativity will tell you. [music]
23:31 So, we're not saying don't take breaks.
23:33 A part of going 120 is knowing when to
23:36 rest. Need a daily [music] routine. What
23:38 time you go to bed, what time you wake
23:39 up, what are the activities of the day.
23:42 Now, Glenn, I don't have any empirical
23:46 evidence, but I believe for every goal
23:48 you have, there might be a there might
23:50 be a thousand 2,000 [music] activities
23:51 that have to take place in order for
23:53 that dream to become a reality. I need
23:55 you to identify what those are. I don't
23:57 know what it is for you, but in order
23:59 for me to do a video, there's a lot that
24:01 has to take place in order for me to do
24:02 a video. One, making sure that the
24:04 clothes that I wear actually match the
24:07 content. Making sure the environment I'm
24:08 in is in the right environment. Listen
24:09 to me. When we were with Rebel [music]
24:11 Sports this morning, we were
24:13 unfortunately in an environment where
24:14 there was a studio. It was a lot of
24:17 noise. We had to do a few takes, right?
24:19 We weren't we while we were prepared, we
24:21 weren't in the best environment because
24:22 [music] we had to do several takes.
24:24 People ringing the doorbell in the
24:26 middle of our take. Now, that's kind of
24:27 difficult when you were like me and
24:29 [music] like you feel stuff and you got
24:31 to start all over again, right? So, I
24:33 don't know how many activities, but I
24:35 guarantee you for every milestone,
24:37 right? There might be a thousand task. I
24:39 need you to identify what those are. And
24:41 I need you to do it daily because this
24:42 is what happens when you start [music]
24:45 doing it daily. There's a mo there's a
24:47 momentum that happens. And there's some
24:48 success that starts to happen to your
24:50 life just because now look guys I did a
24:52 [music] couple videos couple voiceovers
24:54 in the states and guess what happened
24:56 now I'm doing them all over the world
24:58 right got it and so today a big one came
24:59 out in [music] the states during a
25:02 football game good year are you blimp
25:04 worthy and here I am with a video
25:06 [music] releasing and I'm in New Zealand
25:08 doing another right so routine good we
25:10 good good routine good good so what's
25:12 your routine now be honest how many of
25:15 you guys in this room already have an a
25:17 routine that you're giving 120% to raise
25:20 your hand. You're giving 120% to that
25:21 routine. [music] No variation. How many
25:23 of you about 90% of the time you're
25:26 sticking with your routine? Good. 80% of
25:27 the time you're sticking [music] with
25:30 your routine. Good. Good. 70% of the
25:32 time you're sticking with your routine.
25:33 Good. 50% of the time you're sticking
25:35 with your routine. Good. Here's a Here's
25:37 a key. If you don't have your dad in
25:39 your life, your mom got pregnant early,
25:40 you don't have a lot of money in the
25:42 bank, you don't have a deep network, you
25:44 [music] can catch all the guy. I I could
25:46 name all the top motivational speakers
25:47 for you. And I caught them by using this routine.
25:49 routine.
25:51 So I caught them,
25:53 right? That's how I caught them. I'm
25:55 going to prisons. I'm going to
25:56 elementary, middle schools, high
25:58 schools. I'm going to small
26:00 universities, major universities. This
26:02 how I catch them. I have a routine. [music]
26:03 [music]
26:05 And what I've discovered is that the
26:07 bigger you get, the less you do. So I
26:09 just did the opposite. The bigger I get,
26:11 the more influence I have. I was just
26:12 with a guy back at home with the
26:14 Clippers. His name is CP3. He's a
26:16 basketball player. He has about 5
26:18 million followers. So we were on
26:19 together. He was like, "Yo, ET is the
26:21 best motivational speaker in the world."
26:23 So all my stuff went up, [music] right?
26:24 So immediately after that, boom, I'm
26:26 hitting schools. Like I'm I will not be
26:29 outworked. So I'm I'm the opposite. When
26:31 my influence goes up, my work goes up,
26:33 which means what? Now I can go into a
26:34 school because I'm famous back at home.
26:36 I [music] can go to a school and I don't
26:37 need to do any paperwork. I can just
26:39 call and say, "Yo, I'm in Detroit today.
26:40 I'm in Chicago today. I'd love to come
26:41 to your school." And they're like, "We'd
26:43 love to have you. When can you get here?
26:44 I can be there in an hour. We'll have
26:46 all the kids in [music] the auditorium
26:48 when you get here." Right? So my routine
26:49 is how I kill them. Listen to me. This
26:51 is what I love about what I teach. It
26:52 doesn't require money and you don't need
26:54 a certificate.
26:55 Listen to me very close. You don't need
26:57 anything to have a routine, but make
26:58 your mind up that you want a routine and
26:59 that you're going to stick with that
27:01 thing. Right? So, I'm not saying you
27:02 have to get up at 2 or 3:00 in the
27:03 morning like I do. I'm not saying that
27:04 you can get up whenever you need to get
27:06 up. But you need a routine and you need
27:08 to stick with that routine. All right.
27:11 Good. I just want to show you 2:30 a.m.
27:13 4:30 a.m. That's my spiritual, my
27:14 personal time, my prayer, and my
27:16 meditation. Every day it happens. All
27:18 right. Every day it happens. I start the
27:20 same way. Spiritual. I just believe that
27:22 that that I need to be spiritually
27:23 [music] strong. I believe that. Right.
27:24 Now, I don't teach that to other people.
27:26 I'm not telling you to be what I am, but
27:27 this is what's important for me. All
27:29 right. Number two is the physical. I'm
27:30 hitting that treadmill, right?
27:32 Stationary bike, push-ups, sit-ups,
27:34 that's my thing. And now I have a a
27:36 prayer line from 5:30 to 6:30 in the
27:37 morning. They're a group of men that I
27:39 call and we hold each other accountable.
27:41 We talk about this is what our goals are
27:42 for the day. This is what we [music]
27:43 need to get accomplished. And at the end
27:45 of the day, we actually take what we've
27:47 accomplished and we put it on a board,
27:49 right? Group me. Anybody heard of Group
27:51 Me before? There's [music] a it's an app
27:53 called Group Me and we're all together
27:54 and we put all our stuff up at the end
27:56 of the day. Can I be honest with you
27:58 guys? I think I'm more committed to the
28:00 accountability than I am to the actual
28:01 physical workout. Does that make sense
28:04 to anybody? Like I don't think that I
28:06 really like working out, but what I
28:07 don't want is everybody's putting up
28:08 their stuff and I don't have nothing to
28:11 put up. So I I think that I'm not really
28:13 like into, you know, being physically
28:16 fit. I'm into accountability. Right? So
28:18 every day this happens. Good. See was
28:20 teasing me. Where were we? Were we in
28:22 England? I was on a prayer line. [music]
28:23 Right. What do you call that package
28:24 that I had? >> Blowout.
28:24 >> Blowout.
28:28 >> The blowout. Meaning what? See? Yeah.
28:30 How many prayer lines do I hit? Why?
28:32 Because no matter where I'm in the world
28:34 and no matter how much it costs, [music]
28:35 I have to stick with my routine because
28:39 my routine has made me great.
28:41 IF IT COST $5,000 TO talk on the phone
28:45 and to be able to do that right there,
28:47 MY ROUTINE. THAT'S WHAT WARREN BUFFETT
28:49 SAID. RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. I'M IN
28:50 THE ROOM WITH 30 dudes and the richest
28:52 man IN THE WORLD. AND HE TALKS ABOUT HIS
28:54 ROUTINE, HOW HE HAS THE SAME ROUTINE.
28:56 AND I'M SAYING IF THE RICHEST MAN IN THE
28:57 WORLD HAS A ROUTINE, IT'S NOT ROCKET
29:00 SCIENCE. SEEMS LIKE the routine must be
29:02 the thing to do,
29:04 right? AND SOME OF YOU ARE LOSING. YOU
29:05 ARE LOSING because you don't have a
29:08 routine. You are losing.
29:11 Listen to me. I KNOW MY WIFE SO WELL
29:12 THAT I know how much time I have to
29:14 spend with her. I know how many days in
29:16 a row I have to spend with. She's an
29:18 only child. IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE YOU
29:19 GETTING on her nerve. And now that she
29:21 has MS, what happens is there's a
29:23 coating on your nerve that's no longer
29:25 there. And so you really when she say
29:27 you getting on my nerve like she really
29:29 mean you getting on a nerve. I know my
29:32 wife only needs two hours a day
29:39 very intentional deliberate focused two
29:40 hours not on the phone not watching TV.
29:42 She [music] needs you right here. My
29:44 wife like I'm taking my nap. I need you.
29:46 I'm like I don't even like to sleep. All
29:48 right. Just hold me and when I fall
29:49 asleep you can get out. And if I [music]
29:53 hold her five times out of seven days,
29:54 she's going to say, "I'm an excellent

30:58 game." Coach, what about the strate? We
31:00 don't need a strategy. We're great. Just
31:03 go out and do your thing.
31:04 What position am I? Don't worry about
31:10 positions. Everybody just go beast mode.
31:11 We've been winning for years. We'll
31:14 continue to. We don't need a strategy.
31:16 Just go beast mode. It's not how it
31:18 works, guys. They have this and you
31:21 don't. Come on. PAGE TWO, GUYS. 8 to
31:24 one. Grind, read, write, school, gigs,
31:26 meetings, quality time. My wife, every
31:29 day she comes home, it CJ, it never
31:32 fails. We do what at 1:00? Good. It's so
31:34 Let me tell you something. It's so bad.
31:36 C got See, where do we go to lunch at?
31:39 Just give me the spots. Outback. First
31:41 of all, I love it cuz the Outback is an
31:43 Australian restaurant that we go to at
31:46 the States. It's like down under, right?
31:48 And so I came to Australia like, "Yo, I
31:50 got to go to the Outback, baby. Let's go
31:52 to the Outback." He was like, "The who?"
31:55 I was like, "Come on, the Aussie Aussie
31:57 onion rings." He's like, "We don't have
31:59 that." I'm like, "It's got to be." I
32:00 heard the Australian accent on the
32:02 commercials, right? So, at least two,
32:04 three times a week back at home, we feel
32:06 like we're still in Australia. We going
32:08 to the Outback. Where else do we go?
32:11 Cheesecake Factory.
32:15 What's my favorite seat? Chipotle. Guys,
32:18 I do it so much. He It's a joke now.
32:21 He'll call me at 1:15 like, "Where you
32:23 at?" "Yeah, I'm back." I'm like, "Yep."
32:24 He's like, "Yo, you keeping that place
32:26 alive. You know they would close if it
32:27 wasn't for you." [music] Right? So,
32:29 guys, I need it. I need it. This is why
32:31 most of you are losing in certain areas
32:34 because you don't have this
32:35 one. You don't have meaning attached.
32:37 You don't have value. and you don't have
32:38 your schedule. I need you to get your
32:40 schedule. All right. Come on. Come on.
32:43 Simple stuff. I'm not real smart. Like,
32:44 I'm not a I'm [music] not a real school
32:46 smart guy. But watch this. Watch this.
32:48 This is the second thing or third thing
32:51 of how we blew up. Not only do we know
32:54 what our sweet spot is, we hit the same
32:55 spot every single day. This is the
32:57 beauty of a routine. Now, this is what
32:59 I'm telling you. You cannot knock, you
33:02 cannot bring a tree down by hitting it a
33:04 thousand times. If you hit a tree a
33:06 thousand times, there's no guarantee
33:07 it's going to fall. What do you mean by
33:09 that, Eric? If you hit a tree a thousand
33:11 times in a thousand different spots, the
33:13 tree is not going to fall. But if you
33:15 hit a tree a thousand times in that same
33:17 exact spot,
33:18 she going to come to the ground. Your
33:20 problem is you did hit it a thousand
33:22 times, but [music] in a thousand
33:23 different places. What makes us unique
33:25 is that we do the same thing every every
33:27 Monday you get in TGI. [music] Every
33:29 Thursday you get in our podcast. Are you
33:32 hearing me? It's the same stuff. We
33:33 hitting the same spot [music] every day.
33:35 And even when you're not real smart and
33:36 you're not that deep, guess what? You
33:38 can still bring the tree down by hitting
33:39 the [music] exact same spot. When you
33:41 see me on the road, I got the same out.
33:42 I'm so bad. I wear the exact same
33:44 outfits. Only thing might change is my
33:46 shoes. I got the same hat. I got the
33:48 same shirt. I got the same shorts. I got
33:50 the same My wife said, "ARE YOU STILL
33:51 WEARING THEM SAME SHORTS?" I SAID,
33:52 "ABSOLUTELY." SHE SAID, "HOW MANY PAIRS
33:56 DO YOU HAVE?" I SAID, "ONE."
34:01 Need to do me a huge favor. Stop trying
34:03 to be deep. I need you to do the exact
34:05 same thing every single [music] day for
34:09 the next 10, 15, 20 years and watch that
34:12 tree come down
34:14 and watch you [music] go from zero to a
34:16 multi-million dollar company to working
34:18 with the top NFL teams, which is our
34:21 football league, the top NBA teams,
34:22 doing commercials. Nothing's [music]
34:24 changed, guys. I'm doing the exact same
34:26 thing I was doing 20 years ago. I just
