ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ There are those of you in this room,
you're already there, your problem is
there's some stuff you don't wanna give up to go up.
I made a decision I didn't go to the doctor and get surgery,
and get a new brain and get a new heart.
I didn't pay any money to get an upgrade. I didn't get Eric Thomas 5.0,
I was the same guy. Then what happened E?
How do you have a multimillion-dollar company when you come from nothing?
One day I made a decision that enough is enough,
I'm tired of being average. I'm tired.
I'm tired of being good. I'm tired.
I wanna go to the dealership and buy the best car.
I wanna move to the nicest neighborhood. I wanna fly first class.
I made a decision, enough is enough.
It's showtime. Will the real Eric Thomas
please stand up. Some of you in the room right now,
you are where you are, you're giving 60%
when you have 120 in you, why?
'Cause you've never made a decision. ET,
what do you do on the days that you don't feel like...
Every day I feel like. Every day I feel like eating.
Every day I feel like giving my wife the best life.
Every day I feel like driving in a nice car.
Every day I feel like flying first class. Every single day of my life
I feel like giving 120, every single day.
Somebody said yesterday, ET, you gave 120,
what are you gonna do tomorrow? I said I don't know,
give 140. I don't know,
but I don't have days where I don't feel like it,
why? Because I'm counting on me,
my wife's counting on me, I don't have days to waste.
You gotta get a little bit more intense about your life,
about your business. You gotta stop being so daggum casual.
You gotta get in the game, if you're gonna play the game,
let's play to win it. Let's play to max it out.
Let's play to 10X it. I want you shaking,
I want you feeling it, I want your intensity level to go up.
Because it's decisions we make to chase that best version of us,
every second, every day, that every day
alters the direction of the course of our lives. Keep up.
Let's go. Come on.
You're supposed to be the man, I know you can be the man for a month, keep up,
we're doing this 365. We're doing it 365,
keep up. We got that dog.
When you play, I need that dog.
Don't expect front row seats if you're giving nosebleed effort.
Everybody wanna win, everybody wanna be on the winning team,
everybody wanna win, but everybody don't wanna work.
Everybody want the reward, but everybody don't wanna have to work.
We all gotta work. I gotta show up
and show up 120. Every time.
When you make a commitment to do something, your success
is predicated upon your commitment. You don't become successful just
because you say it, you become successful
when you commit yourself to it. You're gonna have some hard times,
there are gonna be difficulties, if success was easy,
everybody would do it. But whatever you have to do,
commit yourself to do what you said you will do,
and you will be successful. You gotta find a routine,
I'm getting up at 3, and stick with it.
I'm getting up at 5, and stick with it.
Yeah, out of 365 days, you're gonna have a bad day or two,
but I'm trying to tell you, the strength is in the routine.
Find a routine and stick with it. There's nothing wrong with the opportunity,
you're not giving 120. You're giving 70,
you're giving 60, you're giving 50,
and you want what these people who've given sweat,
who's given blood, who's given tears,
you want what they paid for and it ain't free.
Rewards come after you work, not before.
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
You will never regret making a sacrifice, ever.
