y’all got started loving your life and
whether you make it to the league or not
you are not you are not who you are
because of the league you are who you
are because of who you are and if you
make it to the link then the league is
gonna be blessed with your presence are
you hearing what I’m saying
be comfortable who you are because the
world y’all poor if you come from a
family right now that’s brother you you
that you got to your advantage I use
that to my advantage that I was a school
dropout that I was homeless that I trash
can
I love dealing with a dude who think
because he come for money you better
than me
let’s go let’s go you got money but do
you got that dog yeah you got money you
got pepper do you
that dog okay you got that stamina so
yeah you might have some model AB right
now but if I work hard I can have what
you add don’t forget who you are don’t
forget where you come from my last name
is Thomas I represent my stepfather who
stepped in my life because my old dude
in wonder pity I represent him I could
change my name if I wanted to but
everywhere I go I respect the man who
came in for me when my father wasn’t
there for me my mom was 17 years old
high school they totally get in the
Porsche I respect my mom for not giving
me for up an abortion and so I respect
the last name everywhere I go I bring my
mom apply everywhere I go I bring my
sister’s pride I bring my son’s pride
everywhere I go I got kids the decisions
I make my son has to deal with the
decisions I make my daughter has to deal
with the cities I made your mom and
daddy and your family have to deal with
the decisions you make so tomorrow you
start training train like this you and
train like this this your life not a
game like this your life like this the
last opportunity only opportunity give
it everything you got and if you fail
you can at least do what come on you can
say what you try but if you don’t want
then give 120% you not a made a man
don’t always put forth effort and
accomplish his goals as men we fail to
we don’t always do everything perfect
but if you’re a real man you try
I’ve always been there I ain’t trying to
tell you I’m the man cuz I got money I’m
the man because I have a responsibility
and I live up to my responsibilities I
give 120 percent of everything I do
that’s all I’m asking you to do so when
you go out there stop playing yourself
don’t disrespect this game don’t
dishonor this game if you’re gonna go
out there don’t go out there with your
skill go out there with skill and go out
there with will when you are who you say
you are you only have to try to act like
you are that you don’t even need a
business car write that down
get to a point where you don’t even need
no business cards write that down and if
they don’t know you is because they’re
not in there in a different industry and
they shouldn’t know when you are so I
don’t even get offended when people go
what up et another present go who’s that
I’m like he in a different hit history
tonight he gonna say that’s why y’all
know me because he don’t necessarily
need the motivation
if are you feeling me so we want to
spend our energy on being what who you
so watch this I’m about to blow your
mind that’s what the 1% is the 1% is
live on their own terms that’s what the
1% is are the 1% of don’t care about
what nobody else think they’re not
concerned about with the people they’re
not trying to impress nobody else no one
percenters all their energy goes into
being who they are that’s it all right
I’m gonna show y’all something in a
minute it’s gonna blow your mind is this
new competition going on how seeing it
all over the Internet
right so let’s do this real quick let’s
do this real quick I want to take my
time all right because I know some of
you didn’t pay for VIP but I still want
to give you VIP experience all right so
you’re gonna catch me right now you met
you know probably not gonna catch me in
the second half so I want to give you as
much as I can give me three or four
characteristics for real for real
don’t try to be deep I’m not asking for
nothing deep we’re gonna walk through
this what is a one percenter like what
makes it what what’s the diff between a
1% like what do they have that most of
the world they don’t have good
discipline good for okay write that one
down
that’s the one that write down write
that one down first freedom write that
down let’s take our time freedom what
kind of freedom financial freedom maybe
number two or three write that down time
is the first one when you and the 1% you
got you got time you got a lot you free
you got you on your own time and I
listen to me I’m not talking about those
of you who are self-employed that’s
different you own you you work for
yourself but you still don’t have time
you still gotta put in 12 13 hours a day
you can’t get up when you want to get up
do what you want to do you still got to
go to work all right so so the number
one qualification for the 1% is they own
their own time good well so I don’t know
money could be wealth could be one good
all right maybe two maybe I would say
three but we’ll debate in a minute what
else do they have in terms of freedom
your creativity good we could put that
down somewhere I don’t know where you
want to put it but they are super
creative super creative yeah somebody
else on that on the same one on freedom
good consistency are I’m looking for
some specific good faith okay
good faith good autonomy yeah they got
they own they own everything write that
down if you are in business but you
don’t own it something’s wrong you got
like you should have at least 51% here
I’m saying or whoever you wit is 50/50
I’ve decided chuckling 5050 right some
of you are doing things right now you
don’t own it that makes sense you don’t
own the product you might have like some
software that’s killing the game but you
don’t own the software so at any point
whatever you’re doing if somebody wanted
to snatch that away from you they can
snatch that away does that make sense
how many you in a situation where you’re
doing very well but you don’t own the
thing that is bringing you in the income
let me see your head you don’t own the
thing raise your hand high let’s pray
jack good so that so that that’s the
goal right so for those of us who live
in a house and we got electricity the
challenges you don’t own the electricity
so you pay your electricity bill but if
the electricity company was just like
flat out no more we will like you and
we’re gonna get lectricity more they
could just cut you off right that’s what
that means all right here’s the last one
that I want you to get relationships
right if you are in the 1% head girl if
you are the 1% right you have there’s a
freedom that you have in relationship
you pick up the phone you make some
phone calls
all right good what else so we talked
about wealth we talked about time this
is the 1% autonomy right which is huge
right and so what I want you to do is
just check on these one check which ones
you have which ones you don’t have this
real quick check which ones you have
which ones you don’t have after you just
put a check next to the ones you have
right you don’t put a check with the
ones you don’t have we’re gonna come up
with a plan and here’s what here’s what
broke people do broke people wake up
every day I focus on what
getting money getting what get money
right and I just told you if you get
money you don’t necessarily have the
other stuff but if you own your own time
you got all of that if you own your own
time you can own your own time without
having all the other stuff so that’s why
we’re going we don’t shift our focus
broke people wake up and like much money
do I need money you know you don’t need
money when you’re creative you don’t
need money when you create you need
money when you broke when you create if
you don’t need money why because you can
wake up and create something that can
make you ten million dollars if you
creative so you’re spending so much of
your time trying to make money that
you’re not focusing on what you supposed
to focus on so give me a scrap sheet of
paper and let’s really write out what
would it look like you know I’m saying
what would what would what would my life
look like if I was really into 1% what
would it look like and again that’s why
I said be careful because you can start
getting on the internet and you can
start making it look like something that
is not and I’m not telling you not to
market yourself I’m not telling you not
to be creative but I’m saying don’t get
to a point where it’s a thin line and
you lying to yourself and you’re waking
up lying you’re waking up doing
activities to make other people feel a
certain way and then you looked up and
your whole life knowledge become about
making people feel a certain way about
you
I’m telling you invest your time and
really making what you wrote down happen
so that that can happen and then they’re
gonna see it there those of you in this
room please don’t buy another pair of
shoes to impress somebody that don’t
really like you please don’t buy another
piece of a sensory for somebody that
don’t like you please don’t buy another
car to get people to affirm you that
don’t really care about you can we make
the rent can we make a vow to make the
rest of your life about you and your
family don’t buy nothing else for nobody
else don’t go get yourself in debt don’t
go buy nothing else
don’t get nothing enlarge for somebody
who’ll really care about you
I’m just being real like you’re doing
all of that for somebody to affirm you
when at the end of the day they still
ain’t gonna firm you over the stuff they
still only gonna love you for real for
real because of who you are because of
who you are so can we get to a point
where we can just live an authentic life
because when si talked about the super
our that’s what the superpower is when
he said no your superpower at the end of
the day your superpower is when you are
your authentic self that’s your
superpower is when you’re you if I’m
going to be like anybody else it’s not
gonna work so any other speaker that get
up here I don’t care what they say how
they say what they say I’m not gonna try
to say it I’m not gonna try to do it I’m
gonna be Who I am and at the end of the
day if you are your authentic self
that’s the one percent there’s one
percent of us that don’t care about what
nobody else say or think about us we’re
gonna be our authentic self that’s what
the one percent is that’s why I’m the
number one motivational speaker in the
world
it don’t mean nobody else ain’t number
one I’m number one why just because I’m
being myself so so before I go into
these quick principles I’m just being
real you have a better chance of being
your authentic self
