you guys are just getting started you're not gonna start right here you're gonna start down there okay probably in another city another town i grew up in lake charles louisiana no money raised by a single mother i was in debt at 25 years old the first thing that i had to do in my life was not learn a new skill first thing i had to do to get my life moving in the right direction was self-development it is vital it was vital for me that i improved myself and i could start depending upon me i
had to show up every day with some rituals some disciplines and start getting myself to trust me not trust others but trust myself to do the right thing every day one of the things that i started doing was beating the sun up every morning i'm going to beat that sun up every morning so that i had the discipline and the control over my life so i knew hey before that thing pops i'm gonna pop i'm gonna get out of bed depend on myself get up at the same time every day and for me that time
regardless of where i was was beat that sun up no matter where i am i'm gonna beat that thing up so it gives me a sense of control over my own life second thing i had to start cleaning up my life and my friends and my environment when i was younger between 15 and 25 i was doing crazy stuff in my life wasting my weekends i have the same weekends are for the week i was drinking fooling around with a bunch of bad things bad people making poor choices at 25 years old i cleaned it
all up quit going to those places quit using those things quit hanging out with people that did not have ethics and discipline in their life that weren't committed to the same things that i was i wanted to build something in my life i wanted to become someone and to do that to become someone in the eyes of the world the first thing i had to do was become someone i could depend on so put some things together three or four things you can do every day to start the day kick start your day get going
in your day to give you a sense of respect for yourself accomplishment for yourself look just beating that sun up every morning gives me the sense of accomplishment that i did what i said said i was gonna do that i woke up when i said i would wake up and i start building respect for myself start believing in myself so that i can go out to the world and maybe maybe maybe today maybe today when i go into this meeting that i'm dressed for maybe they'll believe in me as much as i believe in me
and that'll show up in a contract a deal maybe even some money beat the sun up [Music]
