• and I just want to thank you all and congratulate you i know so many of you 1.5 million of you from almost every
• country in the world 195 countries all the countries the UN recognized participated in the challenge in January
• and I had a chance to see you know your Facebook posts each day and how you're making progress and what you're doing
• and I just time you know things drift a little bit it's just you lose momentum it's part of the process it's like
• working out you got to do it daily right so I want to give you a little quick little mini training real fast just five
• little points that I think can help you to maximize and keep that momentum going and getting the results you want in your life and if you just went through
• unleash the power within I know your results i've been reading those those have been so inspiring the
• transformations in your relationships in your business in your finances in your in your money financial emotional areas
• all the areas that matter most spiritually it's been gorgeous to read and gorgeous to see so I know you already have momentum but I figure these
• are just five quick keys that'll be helpful and then I want to give you a quick announcement of something really exciting so please stick around for the
• end here so I can share that announcement with you as well but let me just add some value to you in a simple way you know we're we're living in
• challenging times right you know we made it through COVID we've made it we got lots of inflation and there's always
• something to be concerned about something to be stressed about because we're in a season called winter winter
• doesn't last forever no you know pandemic lasts forever no war lasts forever it doesn't matter what it is
• things come to an end they change and something new is created but in order to make it through those times when it
• seems dark and challenging we got to maximize our skills and it's the skills to control our own mind our own emotions
• and our own results our actions which is where our results come from and so I I thought I'd share with you that when I
• was really just getting started when I was really young I was 17 years old I
• was really obsessed with trying to find ways to improve my life and part of that was I grew up in a really tough
• environment some of you know I had four different fathers a pretty intense mom who I love dearly she since passed but
• um you know when she used drugs and alcohol the mixture of those two prescription drugs and alcohol change
• your personality make things pretty tough so I I grew up in a tough environment but the good news about that tough environment is it made me look for
• answers it didn't let me settle it made me hungry and if you ask me what's the single most important element of
• someone's success well obviously intelligence is fairly important right really I love wickedly smart people but
• there are lots of smart people that can't fight their way out of a paper bag and the reason is because it's not enough to be smart you have to be hungry
• hungry to be more to do more to create more to want to contribute more to the world to not settle and if you're
• watching me right now and listening to me right now you obviously have that mindset or you wouldn't pop on this little mini training here this little
• conversation that we're having right now so when I was 17 years old I went to this seminar some of you know by Jim Ran
• this personal development speaker and I know many of you probably heard of him he passed away many years ago but he
• taught me some really fundamental things he taught me that for things to get better you've got to get better for
• things to change you've got to change you can't just hope hope is not a strategy and he taught me the idea that
• success leaves clues that if you want to be really successful at anything you can find somebody who's super successful
• figure out what they do differently than you and do that if you sew the same seeds you'll reap the same rewards so I
• remember going to a seminar i was 17 years old i scraped together the money it was $35 it' be like $250 in today's
• money for a little three-hour seminar and I was on fire man i was so excited i
• was 17 years old i'm going to go change the world and of course then I ran into some challenges cuz um you know in my
• family there were quite a few conflicts and one night my mom decided to kick my father out my fourth father and she was
• a powerful lady and my dad left and I talked back a little bit i get was was the perception and I was just defending
• my dad and so my mom chased me out of the knife they used to chased me out of the house on Christmas Eve with a knife
• and I knew she wasn't going to hurt me or kill me but I wasn't going back in that house and so it's Christmas Eve
• it's raining and I got to figure out to do i have nothing i should kept my 1960
• Volkswagen earned it $40 a week as a janitor and I decided I'll spend the
• night on top this hill this base little mountain nearby and of course then it rained so I'm trying to stay warm under
• a tree wrapped in these little blankets that I grabbed and so the next night I went to a girlfriend's house a a girl
• that was a friend not a girlfriend and her parents let me stay in their laundry room and I was depressed i was I felt
• like you my younger brother's five years younger my sister's seven years younger they were the love of my lives and I was separated from them i was separated from
• my family and I didn't know what to do and I thought back on Jim Ran and Jim
• Ran had this philosophy and I remember him sharing he said you know one of the most important things you have to every day is stand guard at the door of your
• own mind that somehow you've got to train your mind to think the right thoughts because all of our emotions
• come from our thinking all our relationships come from our emotions all of the results all of our actions come
• from our emotions and decisions so if you can take control of that you can change your whole life and I remember
• life is really meaningful so for me the first and most important lesson of all was really that success leaves clues and
• when he was with me when I was sitting there that night feeling so depressed I was like I've got to change my life what
• the answers are out there and I decided I'm going to read a book a day i took a speedreading course and I didn't read a
• do I got to do i got to take control of my mind and so the first thing I did was I I took the little bit of cash I had i
• book a day but I read about 700 books a little more than that over seven years and I did it because I wanted to feed my
• had about I don't know 20 30 bucks 20 23 24 $25 something like that and I took
• mind i found books on philosophy on psychology on physiology how you could change your body anything that I thought
• these buses to this bookstore that was about I don't know 20 25 minutes away and it was a spiritual bookstore I'd
• could improve my life and what I did was I committed to not just read but to apply what I was reading find one thing
• been to once and I just felt like I'm going to find a book there it's going to change my life uh because Jim Ran had
• I could apply and do something with it because Jim Ran used to always say "If you let your learning lead to knowledge
• always said leaders are readers and I picked up this book called The Magic of Believing by Claude M bristol and in
• you become a fool if you let your learning lead to action you can change your whole life and you can help others do the same." And so for decades and
• this book I read every page over and over again it talked about how to program your mind how to condition your
• decades I did this after a while I found it hard to get that 30 minutes in you might find it hard to get those 30
• brain and your thinking and you should write your goals on a mirror and look through at yourself at those goals and
• minutes in because you know I spending time in my car driving to and from the places I was working which was usually
• see your own eyes and absorb that and I made these posters that said you know only a loser is depressed now that's not
• somewhere between 45 minutes an hour each way and so gradually I started using audio and now that's easy but back
• true people get depressed or not losers but to me I was not a loser so I use that as leverage to make changing myself
• then it was hard you know I was like where do I get these these things they're going to teach me you couldn't
• a must and not let myself stay depressed and you know Jim R when I met him he had
• go on YouTube and just get stuff for free which I had to go down and literally drive down in my little
• this really interesting philosophy he said you know think about it this way Tony he says because I was telling him
• Volkswagen i got a 1968 Volkswagen and I upgraded and I went down to downtown Los
• about my life and I was having all these challenges and you know I reaching out trying to get some way of getting some
• Angeles where's this place called Night Education Ki Ghtd like Knight with a sword and there's this man named Mario
• help to go to work for him and he said Tony you know people get what they have to have but you have to train your mind
• he's this Jewish man beautiful man that became my friend he was an older man and I came in my little pot belly i was 5'1
• you you you're just settling for so much and he said "You know you can tell me all these things but who are you
• believe it or not little short fat kid and um and I said like I want to learn
• spending time with who who's feeding your mind?" And I told him a few people he goes "Well they're the wrong people
• how to change my life and he goes "Well I have everything here." And this is a day those you would not understand we have these things called cassette tapes
• to hang out with." He said "Think of it this way Tony what if what if your worst
• were a breakthrough before that it was albums and eight tracks you had these little cassette tapes that are really portable and you could listen to them on
• enemy drops sugar in your coffee what's going to happen?" I said "You're going to have sweet coffee." He said "What if
• a little player you could stick it in your car and play it or car players in those days but just you could have a
• your best friend or a family member or somebody that really loves you by accident not intentionally drops one
• little handheld thing and uh in those days if you wanted to learn something he had all the best teachers psychologists
• drop of strick nine in your coffee?" I said "You'd be dead." He goes "That's right so life is both sugar and strict
• psychiatrists motivational speakers and but it would be like $300 for six
• nine so you got to watch your coffee." He said "Every day stand guard at the door of your mind." And what that means
• cassette tapes and like three workbooks that was the price and I was making you know $40 a week as a janitor and so I
• Tony is you have to feed your mind whatever you feed it is what you experience and he said "The more you
• learned that I got to take the money I've saved and invest it in the most important investment all which is me you
• feed it the right things the stronger you'll become the more decisive the more clear but you can't let the world feed
• know Jim Ran taught me that there is nothing more important than investing in yourself you know it's ironic a few
• you that." Because most of us know at this point you know the media they're not bad people they're just doing their
• years back when I was interviewing Warren Buffett and I said "What's the single most important investment you've ever made?" And I thought he was going
