There's a difference between a dude who know how to shoot and a sniper. Dude know how to shoot, they might shoot up the whole place and kill three people. They done wasted all kind of bullets, all kind of energy.
The sniper on the roof, one spot, three days. Don't use the restroom, don't eat. And at the right time, boom.
Sniper don't use the bathroom, he don't move from that spot because he might miss an opportunity. You're not hearing what I'm saying. You're not staying long enough to make something happen.
You're not there long enough. You're not studying long enough. You done read a whole book, and got what?
I'd rather for you to read one page a hundred times than read a hundred pages once. You can't get nothing from reading a hundred pages one time. I'd rather for you to read one page a hundred times, and I mean consume it.
In your life right now, the reason why you're not successful, you all over the place. You just taking an axe and just swinging it. And you wonder why you're not getting the results you want.
Because what real students do is sharpen the axe first, and then they don't just hit the tree a thousand times, they hit the tree a thousand times where? In the same spot. You hitting it all over the place.
You need to be intentional. You need to be deliberate about your thinking. I need you to think about what you thinking about.
Because where your focus goes, your energy flows. You concentrate on winning. You concentrate on dominating.
Nothing needs to change, but your mindset. I don't need knowledge. I need specific knowledge.
Stop thinking you deep 'cause you reading and you studying. No, you need explicit knowledge. Get focused on the target.
The target is not the activity, the activity can change. It's what's the result I'm after? Clarity is power.
The more clear you are in specifically what you want, the faster your brain can get you there. True winners, they never lose focus. They always focus on the goal.
They always focus on the process, and they always focus on being the absolute best that they can. The reason why you stop and start, and you stop and you start, is because the goal is not meaningful enough. Who you doing this for?
That person that you think about has to be louder than the snooze button. So when you think about granny, you got to think about, do I hit the snooze button or do I get up and make it happen for granny? It's not just about you.
When you finally go after the stuff that you are afraid to go after, that's the stuff I'm talking about. I'm talking about going after the stuff that scares you. What are you going after?
Or better yet, why aren't you going after it? All I need you to do is declare that yesterday was the last day that you were a loser. Like, yesterday was the last day you expected to come up short.
You do the work now and all of the sh*t that you could ever want to do for your family, your kids, your loved ones, it's all going to be on a whole nother stratosphere. I made a decision, Pat, I truly want to find out what you're capable of if you fully focus. Anytime in my entire life I've been a 100% focused, I've always won, anytime.
You have as well, by the way. So if you think about yourself, go back at any time in your lifetime you've been focused for 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, guaranteed you won, 'cause it's a formula. And I knew most people weren't going to do it.
I knew most people would get discouraged, I knew most people would get distracted, I knew most people are going to say, I have family issues, health issues, market issues, this isn't for me, it's not my passion, all this stuff that they make up because they simply don't want to do the work 'cause they're frightened of the work. Now you, you don't have to be that. Most people, half-ass half their life all the time.
I knew they were gonna get tired. They were gonna flinch. They were gonna get down.
They quit improving themselves. They start sleeping in. They spend all their damn money.
I'm not gonna do that stuff, I'm gonna save money, I'm gonna get up early. I'm gonna say relentless. I don't alter my mission at hand.
No one f*cks with me. Because I don't allow them to. It's got to be that way, it's got to be unconditionally focused.
I don't care about the partying. I don't care about TV. I don't care about any of this stuff.
100% focused. I am not going to get distracted. And every day you try to master, remaster, be the best you can be.
Practice only makes improvement. Perfection doesn't exist. You can always better your best.
You have not done your best work yet. As long as you're here, you have a chance to transcend yourself. Meditate on this stuff.
Focus on this stuff. It don't mean negative things won't happen, but we're not focusing on it. We're going to focus on what's positive.
We're going to focus on what's good. And when we focus on that, that's where our energy is going to go. I need you to take ownership of your thoughts.
Own your life, guys. You have every opportunity. There's no excuse not to be the hardest motherf*cking worker in the room.
And I guarantee you, if you put the right energy, the right effort, the right focus, it's only a matter of time.
