those of you who will never get to the
next level in success or in your life
because when you get to this point you
you you been the simple what man said it
you can do whatever you want to do
you’re not gonna flip the switch at
thirty years old and have the big house
nice cars and a fat bank account just
because you wished you got to put in the
work now and network compounds and
accumulates and put you in a position to
have that opportunity when you are of
that age so what I do I’ve worked I’ve
worked to such an extreme level that
when I push you on work
I don’t even ask you to do 50 percent of
what I did then your mama didn’t like
the fact that you was doing it your mama
to understand even let your mom and your
ear I think what your mama’s dream to
let your daddy talk you out of it that
was yours that was something to create a
game to you that belonged to you my
mother never understood was she working
for me now
I didn’t quit because people don’t
understand I worked harder you’ve never
done something before you expect
yourself to be awesome at it you haven’t
done the work you haven’t put in the
time you haven’t put in the study hours
and what I’m doing now I was doing 20
years ago and I have not been I didn’t
break so bad you don’t understand how I
do what I do this is what I’ve been
called to and under no circumstances
will I surrender under no circumstance
will I quit somebody who succeeds you
want to be somebody who builds something

about one day here what I’m saying
don’t feed into it don’t believe the
height somebody told you that hard work
don’t pill and you let her lip pain stop
you from your dream no it was there he
was running your business you were there
listen to me if you work forward if you
will put in that sweat that blood and
those tears baby I’m telling you you can
have what you want me but you won’t do
what you won’t are you hear me during
that point what did i do is i did what i
preached to all of you which is I put in
the work I gave up all my weekends and
holidays in high school because I knew I
had to pay that price because I wasn’t
gonna do the I’m gonna go to school meet
some good kids at Stanford and brown an
Ivy League school make some
relationships and that’s gonna be my
springboard I was gonna start with no
relationships and in the gutter and I
was gonna have to prove it and I would
have to show up and mean everybody like
I did in my 30s but in my teens and 20s
I was gonna have to work and so what I
did was to the extreme of anybody I’ve
met that had options I punted every
leisure activity in my life nothing no
weekends no vacations zero nothing
nothing
it’s my truth I didn’t take a single
vacation day never zero zero all my high
school friends God because I wasn’t
around all my college friends post
college god girl friends nothing all in
Kobe Bryant doesn’t sit there and talk
about how many MVPs he’s won or how many
championships he’s won no he is up at 3
o’clock in the morning practicing
every
he’s not great because he’s great he’s
great because he puts the work in on a
daily basis and he wins every day and if
you vote you gotta go get it you got to
play hard for it are you hearing what
I’m telling you is not for the weak and
the uncommitted reason why you stand no
to stuff the reason why you pushing this
move but the reason why you’re still
going to work trippin the reason why you
ain’t blow up is because you still own
70% you still own 60% you wanna know why
the world passing you up because
whatever you do for a living you barely
doing it you coming if you don’t want to
be there do not bring in the fire you
gotta do it quick you got to do it fast
you gotta hurry
Wow because there’s somebody else who’s
on the same track you are somebody else
who listen to me they’re on the same
path that you are listen to it’s
somebody else just like you trying to do
it and sometimes they’re working just as
hard as you’re working quit using the
word luck quit believing in luck and
start believing in work start believing
in fortunate start believing in results
that come from your actions and when you
do that and you wholeheartedly believe
it guess what that’s what starts to
happen now mister show if my teacher
gave me a promise and I want to give you
that promise now here was the promise I
got and I bring it to you here’s what my
teacher said if you will change mr. Owen
he said if you will change everything
will change for you you don’t have to
change the government you don’t have to
change prices you don’t have to change
taxes forget all that
he said if you will change everything
will change for you and the first thing
you start changing is what your
philosophy you start changing your mind
you start changing how you think you
start picking up new ideas and
information gather new knowledge make
better decisions about what’s valuable
and I’m telling if you’ll do that your
whole life will change your health will
change your relationship with your
family will change your ability to cope
with challenges and powers will change
I’m telling you income promotions all of
it will change if you will change it’ll
all change if you won’t change it isn’t
gonna change you can keep your fingers
crossed if you want to and hope they’ll
straighten it out you can wish for the
wind not to blow quite a severe but I’m
telling you wishing for the wind to
change in your favor we call naive at
best don’t do this any longer wish for a
better wind the key is to wish for the
wisdom to set a better sail utilize
whatever wind to blows to take you
wherever you want to go that is the
philosophy I picked up at age 25 and it
revolutionized my whole life and here’s
what I found I found it was easy
[Music]
gotta shut this down my definition of
easy meaning something I could do I
figure if it’s something you can do it’s
easy now here’s a parentheses
parentheses I worked hard at it I found
something I could do which was easy but
I worked hard at it I got up early and
stayed up late worked hard that six
years but what I did was easy meaning it
was something I could do you say well
mr. Owen if it was so easy how come
everybody else around you during that
six years how come they didn’t get rich
here’s why it’s easy not to how else
would you describe it that’s it you say
no no for all of the rest of them it was
hard for them and it was easy for you
that’s not true
you couldn’t debate me on that in front
of this intelligent audience so you’ve
got the choice here today of one of two
Easy’s easy too easy not to I can give
you in one sentence how I got rich for
the time I was 31
here it is in one sentence I did not
neglect to do the easy things I could do
everyday for six years underline I did
not neglect that’s the key I found
something easy I could do that led to
fortune and I did not neglect to do it
made your reason for not having
everything you want in America major
reasons we’re not having more of what
you want in America more health more
money more power more influence more
everything major reason why you don’t
get it simple answer neglect neglect and
here’s the problem with neglect it
starts as an infection and if you don’t
take care of it it becomes a disease and
here’s what else is the problem one
neglect leads to another neglect to do
wise things with your money you probably
don’t get to do wise things with your
time neglect to do wise things with your
time you’re probably neglect to do wise
things with your business one leads to
another leads to another pretty soon
neglect has you by the throat emptying
your purse emptying your heart and
your chances for equities and power and
all the good things neglect what if you
should be walking around the block every
day for your good health and you don’t
I’m telling you you’re on the wrong
track
you should do it you could do it you
don’t do it that’s called formula for
disaster all you’ve got to do is let
that and a few other things accumulate
for six years and now you’re driving
what you don’t want to drive wearing
what you don’t want to wear living where
you don’t want to live doing what you
don’t want to do maybe having become
what you really didn’t want to become
I’m telling that’s it just neglect along
drift along and it’s got you by the
throat it’ll take all your values leave
you with just a little bit of dust in a
summer wind and it’ll soon be gone I
hope I said that well that’s it that’s
when I found myself at age 25 until my
teacher came along and said mr. Owen up
till now you’ve messed up let’s see if
we can’t clean that up change it all I
did change my life not just the money
all the rest of the values that came
pouring in when I understood that it was
me it was me so take the easy approach
this stuff’s easy to figure out getting
rich is easy I teach it to teenagers how
to be rich by 40 35 if you’re extra
bright the stuff is not difficult
[Music]
greatness is about making things better
greatness is about getting better you
know we were kids granny used to say
good better best never let it rest until
your good is better and your better is
best you know so for me greatness is
about nobody knows Gary Thomas nobody
knows what I’m capable of but I know
what I’m capable of and getting better
every single day
[Music]
never saying well I got a PhD so I’m
finished you know well I’ve got a video
a few videos that went viral most people
have never done that I’m doing good I
wrote three books I’m good no no Eric
you know you know at the end of the day
when you lay your head down to sleep you
know when you’ve given your best you
know when you’ve gotten better and and
and greatness is challenging the today
you and the future you said you can get
better you’re grinding or money grinded
or to use it grinding on Wednesday if
you’re driving six seven days a week for
span of five or six years something’s
got to come out of it and I think we
would spend more time on what’s my goal
you know meaning what do I need to
accomplish in this day to live this
lifestyle and you go after it and I’m
not saying you should have goals I just
think that goes for people is too high
on the priority list and I think what
should be on the priority list is gonna
be so you can wake up the next day and
you can grind it out
it’s possible I can do this I can make
this happen no matter how bad it is or
how bad it gets I’m going to make it
it’s possible yes your dream is possible
say that to yourself every day feed your
mind with words that you write in words
that you hear and words that you speak
to yourself feed your faith and your
doubts will starve to death say to
yourself it’s possible it’s possible
it’s possible even when you have no
evidence to point to say to yourself if
spacely there’s nothing as powerful as a
made
it’s a struggle some time to do that
especially when you have people around
you telling you that it’s not possible
that you can’t do it and they’re
constantly pointing out your failures of
the past constantly reminding you of all
of the things that you don’t have going
for you I’m reminded of the story of the
two little boys that were playing in on
some ice during the winter and and and
as they got further out on this ice one
filled through the the thin ice and and
so the little fellow that was still on
top of the ice he was trying to save
this his little buddy and he couldn’t
reach him he was trying to pull him he
could see him through the thin ice as it
got further away from him struggling and
and he couldn’t reach him and is trying
to break the ice and he couldn’t do it
he looked around and he saw a tree in
the distance in Iran and in he got up on
the tree and he pulled and broke down an
enormous sized branch and came back and
and savagely begin to beat that ice and
broke it and and miraculously he saved
his friend and when the paramedics came
and they were able to revive this little
boy
they were scratching their heads to turn
to figure this out said how could this
little pruning fellow go up in a tree
and break off a branch this size and
then come back and beat and break the
ice and save his friend they thought it
was just miraculous baffling and an old
guy who was there said I can tell you
how he did and it’s at how I do it
and he said there was no one here to
tell him what could you do what could I
do what could all of us do if we did not
have the naysayers in our lives that
that that we believed naively like that
little boy that it was possible what
would you do if if failure was not on
the tape
[Music]
