TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF EVERY DAY! | Tony Robbins, Ryan Holiday, Sam Harris
leverage is power leverage is ultimate power there is another level the only reason you keep seeing there isn’t is you feel so exhausted about where you are but life the universe or god is just testing you because there is another level if this is good giant jump to excellence giant start good poor to good to excellence there’s a level where all your dreams are realized there’s a level that you’ve always dreamed about it is real it has not gone away but it takes that extra burst when you think there’s nothing left there’s no way you’ve tried everything 10 million times and you keep going it’s almost like god is saying if you keep hitting this wall enough times i will see that you will not stop that you are filled with that level of determination faith and courage and then the door opens and you get to that next level but most people don’t know is the next level is just two millimeters above and it’s called outstanding ladies and gentlemen outstanding what’s it called what’s it called what’s it called outstanding magnificent unstoppable extraordinary not excellent it’s a different level it’s a level where you are not one of the best you are the best you know what’s amazing you only have to be two million years more than everybody else and you get everything you get the joy the laughter the fun the family the passion the economics the freedom the spirit it’s all there what jerry maguire called the quad baby all of it and it’s just two million views above and most excellent people give up because they’re exhausted and there’s some people to go the harder i hit it the more i hit it sooner or later it’s going down i’m not stopping and when you do that enough it pops open ultimately if i was going to sell this if i chose to i have to know who what i sell this to so that i have long-term value not just in income along the way i have this critical mass here i get a multiple of my business and most people don’t have a clear exit strategy they think i’ll come up with that someday you’re going to start with that end in mind that’s got to be part of your focus if you’re going to be successful in your business i can remember um a gentleman who built caa in hollywood his largest most successful agency right michael ovitz remember that name he put together nike and coca-cola and these billion dollar deals and eventually mike obits went to go sell that business he never thought through an exit strategy and he got almost nothing for it because the laws prevented him from selling it to a studio he had to sell to some of his employees for pennies on its real value well mike found a way to make money later on in another place off of disney but the bottom line is the guy didn’t have an exit strategy and there was brilliant made lots of money in the end didn’t get the value what’s interesting i’m doing this program right now and i got a room you know a couple thousand people from 44 countries they’re all business owners some of them are businesses that are approaching a billion dollars some of them are haven’t even started yet right they’re just picking their business so it’s really variety and one of my goals in that event is to actually get people to not go in business and the reason it sounds horrible is someone spends ten thousand dollars come to an event i told them up front some of you are not made for this because to run a business requires a certain natural capacity of nature if you would beside skills that you learn and it’s the ability to handle risk it’s the ability to handle stress it’s the ability to do a lot of different things and you have to be able to manage finance so you most people they have some of those skills and that’s why every year 50 of businesses that start are out of business you know you look at over any you know five year period of time eighty percent are out of business and over a ten year period of time only four percent make it now make it doesn’t mean that they’re making any money what are five of the most important choices you’ve made in your life just think about that for a second begin to list them off in your head five of the most important choices you’ve made in your life maybe it was a decision to get involved in a particular business or to leave a particular business maybe it was a decision to get involved with a particular person or to become uninvolved with a particular person maybe it was a friend but you chose to walk across the room and meet and it changed your life maybe it was a friend that you had to walk away from in order to improve your life what are the five most important choices of your life just think about them for a second and if you altered those five choices good bad or indifferent how different would your life be today because i’m a believer that there’s everyday choices we make that when you stack them up they make a massive difference in our life but i’m also a believer that there are between five and ten a handful of moments in everybody’s life that if we make the proper choices in those moments the complete trajectory of our life changes and i think as you just asked yourself that question you may say there haven’t been five there’s been two what were they and how they alter the direction of your life and to practice success before you’re successful one of the stories and i know peter remembers it before i had any money i used to go to the rolls-royce dealers and sit in the cars and smell the leather touch the leather okay and these days this is 40 years ago i went to million dollar houses and my wife and i would walk through the house and they’d say what are your parents getting here kids no we are the buyers okay and to get used to it and that’s the reason the castle is so effective the reason i stopped giving outside seminars is that the success rate is almost five times greater going to the castle having a butler wait on you dressing thinking more of yourself because self-esteem is the key to high performance if you feel good about ourselves and we hang around with people the average of the five people that we are mostly around is who we turn out to be if you actually believe something in a meeting and it might be against the grain saying it in a respectful way matters because in three years when it becomes true the other seven people in that room will remember that and that may lead to the growth in your career that you’re looking for people think they grow in their career by staying within the framework of their organization they’re actually quietly subconsciously ruining their career if they don’t agree with the point of view and i know for fact because the best part of can for me hands down is 2 3 o’clock in the morning when people have so much rose in them they start talking truth i know for i know for a fact that there’s a lot of people that have strategies or executions they don’t personally believe in it’s just a framework of where the margin is in their company or what they have to be held accountable to a bonus and that’s a tough life in in some way this is only just work there’s much bigger things going on but i will say being on the record in a room respectfully of what you actually believe brave is a very very good idea and honestly back to brave there’s so much content there’s so much going on in the world what i think this room believes and defines as brave is actually the only prayer to break through consumer attention to make something happen in your business i’ve known that one of the most powerful affirmations you can use is i love and approve of myself i love and approve of myself and when you first say that it’s amazing what can come up and come to the surface lots of times when we begin to say that all the negative messages come to the surface and it’s marvelous because that gives us an opportunity to know what’s been in the way you see if you don’t hear your negative messages you don’t know what’s in your way so when you start to do an affirmation like i love and approve of myself you want to really pay attention to what the negative messages are because they’re the ones that are in the way and when you find a negative message if you could write it down it’s wonderful because you want to think i found a treasure this is something that’s really in my way and really creating a problem remember we get to choose the way we think and we can choose to change the way we think it’s always our choice
