ladies and gentlemen in three years i doubled my nba income in the marketplace you hear what i'm saying and i've never had a real job but i got a mindset lesson number one for you to get to that next level here's what you need information you need to get information no offense i don't even watch tv cnn don't pay my bills okay power don't pay my bills i don't even watch tv i might catch a sporting event i don't get mad about football game i love to watch football but i don't watch tv why it's
unproductive in my opinion i get 24 hours a day just like bill gates i get 24 hours a day just like beyonce and jay-z you get 24 hours a day ladies and gentlemen what do you do with your 24 hours you need to get more information in our coaching program all we do is drop content non-stop and people like wow i didn't know that wow i didn't know that see you don't even know what you don't know how did you let me come from behind to clip you do you guys know the studies show the
better we look the more money we make which means your website should pass the eyeball test your truck should pass the eyeball test your people should pass the eyeball test you should pass the eyeball test everybody in this room has a promised land somewhere but you can't be stuck on the city you like you got to hear god and go to your promised land your promised land might be utah your promised land might be minnesota your promised land might be wyoming hear me clearly you better use your money to get information and access and you
better be flexible because a real shark is flexible can we stop fronting and get real about this thing and if i can do it you can do it i knew nothing about life i knew nothing about business but i had the right mindset and i learned it through sports and y'all got to hear my story so you understand i didn't even start on my college basketball team i came off the bench at the university of minnesota i came off the bench but in my mind you can bring me off the bench but i'm an nba
ball player when you get through talking when you get through i'm an nba ball player and that's why i would walk around and say you can't check me you can't check me you can't check me if i was you i would walk around every day and say i'm a millionaire i'm a millionaire i declare it right now i'm worth millions i'm worth millions i will receive my salary right now but i won't accept it that's my value so whatever you receive right now receive it but don't you accept it as your vow because there's more
out here for you if you change your mindset in my coaching program i got a concept called the black tie effect all i wish i had more time is called the black tie effect if you don't own your own tuxedo and go to at least six to ten black tie events in your market you suck there's no better way for you to distinguish yourself as a top business leader in your area than to go to black tie events i didn't say fundraiser black tie events attract the top businessman in your area and what happens at
a black tie event you sit at a table in america we ask two questions what are those two questions what is your name and what do you do what is your name and what do you do what would happen in your local marketplace you became known as a philanthropist what would happen in your local marketplace you were known as being charitable what would happen in your local marketplace if all the other business owners who are highly successful not only know your company but they know you personally can i ask you a question how many black
tie events do you go to when i stopped playing basketball i had no money coming in and all i would do is go to black tie events and be around highly successful people and i would sit at the table they would ask me my name [Music] the second question i was waiting for what do you do well i'm a former nba player but now i'm a motivational speaker and at those black tie events you know they attract not only successful business people they attract the good guys too [Music] see snake business guys who only care
about money they don't go to black tie events people who go to black tie events care about the community people who go to black tie events make a difference in their community let me tell you something i noticed right away at the black tie events these were the successful people that i wanted to know and i began to build leverage i began to build a brand by building relationships with the top business people in my community because i was willing to go to black tie events there's nothing more important you can do business owner than
to buy you a tuxedo and go to black tie events because everybody in the building is going to ask you your name and they're going to ask you what you do what would happen if your company became endeared to some charity in your community ladies what better way is it to build the culture some of your wives why don't you drive this he's busy trying to make money you drive to charity you found the organization and you make sure that your company is synonymous with some philanthropic area in the community there's nothing better than changing
a life there's nothing better than blessing somebody who's less fortunate i made a commitment of lifting the spirit of people who were trying to get to that next level [Music] start your business with charity there's no better methodology than that never forget this all great brands are built on passion [Music] so before you build your brand it's not about the color it's not about the font all great brands are built on passion so can i ask you a question what are you passionate about see if you're not passionate about anything your marketing is going to
be whole hum as well does that make sense you can't build a great brand without passion let's take a look at nike phil knight built nike and the brand out of passion he loves to run and he couldn't find good running shoes so he said well i'll just start a company and make some myself because a good runner needs to have good shoes he's built an international brand based on passion [Music] if you want to be a millionaire you got to think like a million dollar person you can't fake this thing y'all hear what i'm
saying you got to be legit in this game you can't fake it to the nba you got to be able to ball out you got to be able to hoop you got to be legit and then business is the same way you got to be legit so take your money and get some information in your head and then take some money and get access i got three kids and this is why you got to get access so you can make life easier for your kids well ain't nobody do nothing for me oh your mind set
this jacked up ain't nobody do nothing for me so i ain't gonna do nothing for my kids you ain't thinking about your legacy right now it's like a track meet you're running a four by one 100 meter dash four by one and your baton is in your hand and let me tell you something i want you to run as strong as you can as fast as you can as hard as you can and one day you're gonna get old one day your knees gonna buckle and your son gonna be right behind you your daughter's gonna
be right behind you and that attract mate then yell stick and you gotta make a successful handoff to the athlete in front of you and that's your son that's your daughter so can you do me a favor you got to get on that track and run because the baton is in your hand right now and to me 50 grand ain't enough to live your dreams to me 80 grand ain't enough to live your dreams who's trying to live in that big house who's trying to live in that big car who's trying to retire with some
real money in the bank ladies and gentlemen you guys know the average american only has fifteen hundred dollars in savings [Music] you're a car accidental way from going broke hear me closely don't sell product sell hopes and dreams don't sell product sell hopes and dreams don't sell product again sell hopes and dreams i give myself away and blessings come my way in your community be charitable in your community be a giver in your community get to know the other givers and i promise you one thing something's going to happen to your heart something's going to
happen to your culture and the lagging indicator something's going to happen to your pocket [Music] [Music] [Music] you
