it takes courage to win people don't talk about people that don't win if you win they're going to talk about you you wasted too much of your life trying to change other people's mind about you don't tell me that you want something if you're not willing to throw what you got at it hello believe Nation my name is Evan Carmichael my one word is believe and I believe that entrepreneurs will solve all of the world's major problems so to help you on your journey today we're going to learn from pastor and thought leader Bishop TD
takes and my take on his top 10 rules for Success Volume 2 rule number 10 is my personal favorite and I'd love to know which one you guys like the best and as always as you're watching if you hear something that really resonates with you please leave it in the comments below put quotes around it so other people can be inspired might win a prize as well and also when you write it down it's much more likely to stick for yourself as well enjoy do you have the courage to act outwardly on what you see
inwardly or will you die a dreamer will you die on the verge and on the edge and on in the land of CA W and should [Applause] up the Str strong hand rules Ro do you have the courage I'm I'm going to drop some on you it takes courage to be [Applause] successful it is far easier not to be successful misery will always have Company Success breeds contempt if you don't want to make waves be mediocre be normal and fit in and if you're more concerned about people than you are God then neutralize everything he
put in you just fit in with everybody else dress like them walk like them act like them eat like them go where they go think like they think do what they do and once you've neutralized your uniqueness you don't need courage it takes courage to be different it takes courage to go where you've never gone before for some of you it took courage to come to this conference it takes courage to get you outside of the bar it takes courage to be successful it takes courage to win people don't talk about people that don't win
if you win they're going to talk about you do you have the courage to stand there though the storms keep raging and the people get to talking and you stand there and say I've come too far to turn around touch your girlfriend and say do you have the courage I'm going to I'm going to say something to you it takes courage to be exceptional it takes courage to be wise it takes courage to be rich it takes courage to be educated it takes courage to be knowledgeable because the moment you do you don't talk like
you oh you got forgot where you came from look at you T to it takes courage and I'm just wondering in this weak watered down mediocre society that we live in today in this reality TV world we live in today I'm wondering if there's anybody left that's got the courage to say after all I've been through and all my ancestors have been through and all my parents have been through I didn't come through all of that just to fit in with Normy I have the courage to go after my dream to be anxious just is
to have anxiety about something that hadn't even happened yet some of you are so worried by the threat of trouble you're not in trouble it's just that trouble has threatened you and the threat of what might happen What could happen it's wearing you down half of the things that you thought were going to happen never did happen but if you allow those thoughts to dwell in your mind it will succeed at robbing you of your peace robbing you of your joy robbing you of your life just because you thought yourself into a nervous breakdown you
thought yourself into depression you thought yourself into defeatism the mind is the Battleground the fight is in your mind so I want to challenge you to waste no more effort wrestling with other people thank you oh I lost you I lost you you were doing real good I lost you your destiny your future is not predicated on the decision of someone else you wasted too much of your life trying to change other people's mind about you it doesn't matter what they think about you God is not going to bless you by their opinion God is
going to bless you by how you see yourself touch somebody and say I believe I'm coming out I don't know how long it's going to take I don't know what I'm going to have to go through I don't know what I'm going to lose along the way but I still believe that I'm coming out I've been broke I've been busted and disgusted but I still believe that I'm coming out I'm locked up in prison they say I'll never get out but I still believe that I'm coming out I'm coming out if I don't have nowhere
to stay I'm coming out if my husband married somebody else I'm coming out if I don't have no job I'm coming out oh the people who became the most successful in our society are people who broke the rules you know there was no presidents for 24-Hour news Cycles until Ted Turner did it there's so many people who got out of the box uh look at Apple and the birth of the whole notion of apple or Nike I talk about in the book and the birthing of their corporation how they did something with the tennis shoe
that had never been done before if you only base your decisions on empirical dat you can only repeat what somebody else already did if you follow your instincts and your own god-given creativity we can go where we have not been before be strong and very courageous be strong and very courageous be strong and be of good courage be strong and possess the land because God knows that for what you're going to do it is not by our [Applause] strength you understand you understand she help me preach this thing this morning girl it's Inner Strength so
my fourth point is you got to have Inner Strength for this fight it's not your outer strength it's not by might nor by power but by my spirit sayith the Lord so you got to have that inner that inner that inner that cut strength that belly strength that devil Define come hell high water strength that roll me out in front of them and I'll preach from a chair strength that tenacity to take a licking and keep on ticking that inner strength that when I can't do as I would I'm going to do as I can
but I'm not going to stop doing to the best of my ability I'm going to stretch Hallelujah be strong strong strong strong strong I am afraid that too many times we have P so much focus on teaching you to be good seed that we haven't taught you the power of good soil and so when we come to soil issues the seed ignores the soil we flick the channel that has nothing to do with me we close our eyes because we have been taught to be good seed but we have not been taught to pay attention
to so and yet the Bible is clear Jesus says the sore went forth sewing seed and in some fell by the wayside some fell amongst rocks some fell amongst stores the whole text is about [Applause] environment look at you and look at your environment have you been positioned to flourish positioning has a lot to do with flourishing to be in an environment in a family that supports you my sister and I were talking the other day I was telling her what an amazing person she is is that all of our lives together and and all
the things that God did in my life not once in all of the years that I've known her and she was there when Mama had me have I ever known her to be jealous of me not once not ever she has always been my cheerleader and my greatest fan and she said how could I be jealous of you you're my brother I said a lot of people have siblings that hate them that AR jealous of them that hope they joke and some of my development has to be that God planted me in an environment of
people that supported me my brother my sister my mother my father they all supported me you can have good seed but if you've been in bad soil people who hated you environments that denied you education that underserved you communities that limited you mentalities that poisoned you oh do you hear what I'm saying if if your soil wasn't right it doesn't mean that you're not right but if your soil wasn't right it's going to affect how you root and how you grow and you might grow a little bit the Bible says you can grow for for
a while but then the Thorns will choke you out or the rocks will not have enough soil for your roots to grow are you blaming God for something you ought to be blaming the soil for you cannot take a peach seed and plant it in a teaspoon of dirt and expect it to grow though the teaspoon of the dirt is the same size as the peach seed it will not grow the seed will only grow when it is planted in something bigger than itself and I want to know where are you planted this morning are
you planted in something bigger than you or have you always been planted in teacups surrounded by little dirt little resources small-minded people narrow limited places that never let you stretch to reach your capacity sometimes you got to go where the cord is who call Comfort in your book a cage Comfort is a cage we used to be Pioneers that's how the country was settled and and we start pioneering new things we we stay where it's comfortable we play where it's safe we we we don't really get out into the wild of the possibilities we stay
in the confined cage of of that that is tangible and touchable nine to five and that's it but we need more creativity and we need to follow our instincts now without that you you may make some money but you won't find fulfill always go to something bigger than yourself I'm wondering if you've been defeated because you have been giving yourself holy to something that was too small to hold [Applause] you have you thrust yourself yes sir into a glass of water yes sir have you leaped off the diving board into a cereal bowl person are
you not guilty of immersing yourself into things that were too small to hold your [Applause] vision oh my God this so good I'm going to get the CD [Applause] myself Jesus sent him to throw himself into something that was bigger than his condition and he had to go to get to it he had to get out of his comfort zone my problem is so many times you've thrown Big Ideas at small people you've given big commitment to seral bold people and you're trying to get your sight back from a source that's too small to support
what you're willing to put in is your investment bigger than the bank you should see the way you're looking at me is your is the reason you keep being disappointed by people is that you have wholly thrown yourself into something that was too small Jesus sends him to something that is bigger than himself so he and wash his eye are you trying to take a bath in a bowl David was a Shepherd boy out there time trying to take care of the sheep and didn't have nothing to work with and a lion came against him
and and he took a rag and and said this is the kind of stuff you make to fight back with when you don't have nothing to fight with have you ever gotten to a fight and you didn't have nothing to fight with but you took what you had and you said such as I have yeah I'm not g to let you take my stuff my job my opportunity my life my family's Legacy you after my family's Legacy I'm not going to let you do it and even though I don't have nothing fancy to fight with
like a degree or like a million dollars or like a bunch of friends but I'm going roll up what I got and I'm going to throw it at you you throw you kill the lion unless take your time kill the bear with this rag this rag old dirty rag had thrown rocks at everything that ever come against you if you live long enough a lot of stuff will come against you and you got you got to you got to throw what you got at it you can't throw what you wish you had you can't throw
what your neighbor had you got to throw what you got at it that's what separates the men from the boys cuz you you got to throw what you got at it if you don't don't tell me that you want something if you're not willing to throw what you got at it since we're talking about business we're talking about money you can't be tribal and and be a global thinker at the same time the reason money is called currency is that it needs to be able to flow and the issue is do you have a vision
that flows Beyond people who look like you dress like you and vote like you and if you're going to do business you can't do segregated business and do it well if you got a product that you believe in or a message that you believe in or a movie that you believe in or whatever it is you want to reach the broadest amount of people and most people think tribally all of their relationships their contacts their Associates are tribal and you block the ability to succeed when you block the ability to communicate beyond your tribe life
demands that you pick up the pace if you don't pick up the pace you're going to be left behind I'm amazed at the people that like the flexibility to pick up the pace they just get in a rut I stroll down here and I'm going to stroll back I'm going to stroll over here I'm going to stroll over there one of the most amazing thing about the design P at Malaysia is that when it happened everybody had to pick up the pace all the news media had to pick up the pace they were booking night
flights and flying over here and flying over there somebody had to work overtime won't be home for 3 Days typing in the middle of the night research going on because when something happens everybody got to pick up the pay that's why I can't deal with people who cannot pick up the pace don't be strolling when I got a 911 on on you I need people who can pick up the pace slap your neighbor and say pick up the pace thece something is about to happen pick up the pace something is about to happen pick up
the pace something is about to happen pick up the pace something is about to happen pick up the pace something is about to happen pick up the pace something is about to happen I came to tell the young people pick up the pace pick up the pace pick up the pace something is about to happen the danger of low expectations I would rather aim for the stars and not hit them than to not aim at all I would rather go after it and not get it than not go after it at all I'd rather try
and fail than not try at all I don't want to live with the idea wonder what would have happened had I done more with my life I'm going to go for it come hell or have water I'm going after my destiny touch your neighbor and say run you got to run after your destiny you can't stroll after your destiny you can't walk after your destiny you got to run somebody holler run yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you got to run you got to run you got to run you got to run you can't just wake
up in the morning let me see what's going to happen today ah I don't know what I'mma do I don't know what I'm going wear I don't know what I'm going cook I don't know where I'm going to go I just woke up oh you should stay in the bed give the day to somebody who's going to run after their Destiny give the day to somebody who has a plan who has a strategy because success is never an accident and if if you don't want it get out of my way because there are some people
who want to do something with their life who will [Music] run thank you guys so much for watching I made this video because Christopher asked me to so if there's a famous entrepr that you want me to profile next check out the link in the description and you can go and cast your vote I also love to know which clip resonated the most with you what lesson are you going to take in this video and immediately apply to your life or to your business somehow leave it down in the comments below I'm really curious to
find out what you have to say I also want to give a quick shout out to Cyrus web Cyrus thank you so much for picking up a cop of my book your one word I'm making that video on your YouTube channel I really really really appreciate it bro and I hope you're enjoying the video your one word by Evan carmichel thank you guys so much for watching I believe in you I hope you continue to believe in yourself and whatever your one word is much love I'll see you [Music] soon have you franchised what works
in your life that's what the second step is so many people become fruitful and they say this is working and I've done this and I've accomplished this but I'm not fulfilled at it anymore and I'm frustrated I wonder why I'm I feel the way I do the reason you do because you haven't taken the Second Step once it works in a microcosm in a controlled environment in this city or that neighborhood or this place you want to then multiply that which is fruitful you want to terminate that which is not I talk you know I
talk you'll be surprised I talk a lot when I'm on stage I'm quiet when I'm at home I'm very quiet when I'm at home I tend to be a very quiet person you got to balance you can't just be rattling all the time it drives me crazy when people talk too much it drives me crazy when they just go on and on and on and on because see I pay attention yeah and if you're not going anywhere with this it drives me crazy one one of the strengths of preaching is outline yes sir because outline
gives a listener something to follow that has structure when you're all over the place everything you're saying may be true but because your message has no focus it becomes hard to follow it's hard to follow somebody who doesn't have Focus where are we going with this what is the point of what are you talking about get to the point what is this about and for a while you'll listen because you're trying to see if it has structure and when you figure out that they're just talking and it has no relevance you go death
