Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I shall will a good morning everybody. You're
listening to the voice, come on, dig me down one
and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show, man on
Man on man. I just I have to tell you this.

(00:20):
How good is the God I served? How amazing is
he here? It is? It is your determination and your effort.
Listen to me carefully. It is your determination and your effort.

(00:44):
I think that the average person, and I'm not knocking you,
I just want you to hear me out. I think
what stops the average person from becoming successful is that
we don't realize the effort that it takes. That's just truth.
I found that to be so true in my life
and my talking to people and meeting people, and people

(01:07):
aren't asking me questions about it and me trying to
figure out the way myself. I don't think that you
really can comprehend the effort that it takes to become successful.
This is the thing that you have to wrap your
mind around very quickly if you want to be successful
on any level in any area. The dream is the beginning.

(01:32):
Good Lord, let me tell you something. The determination and
effort is massive. You cannot be overly concerned with sleep.
If you are a person who is always concerned about sleep,
get success out your mind. A fit to happen partner
is not fit to happen. You cannot be that concerned

(01:55):
about sleep. Now listen to me. You have to get
your rest. But this was my philosophy. I'm just sharing
you with how I did it. My philosophy was I
stopped being concerned about sleep. I got my rest, but
I got just enough to get back to it, and

(02:18):
I got back on the grind to hop into hustle.
I got just enough rest so I could go and
put forth some more effort. But listen to me. You
cannot sleep a third of your life away and expect
to become successful if you're not already successful. If you
are asleep for eight hours, that is a third of

(02:40):
your day. You cannot be asleep a third of your
life and expect to get successful. Not after you get successful.
You know, you learn as you go to work smarter,
not harder. So as you get successful, you may have
eight hours available to you. But on the way up,

(03:00):
I don't see how you can do it. I promise you.
I don't. Now don't. Maybe somebody can come forward. I
did it. I yeah, probably lying, But okay, tell your
story because everybody I know that's successful that I've sat
down ahead real talks with it wasn't concerned with sleeping.
You cannot be concerned with sleeping if you want to

(03:22):
be successful. How how can this happen for you? Listen
to me. The effort that it requires is massive. It's
an all out of salt on your dream. Now you
got to make an assault. It's requires and all out
of sault on it. And you can't be sleeping fight
at the same time. You can't fight when you sleep. Man.

(03:43):
I wish I could get y'all understand this right here.
Understand that the effort that is required to be successful
will take everything you have, and when you think you've
given your all, it's gonna require some more. The quality
of your chill is amazing. See that's okay. Listen what

(04:03):
they're sitting around having a bill every day? Fault? What? What?
What they're sitting around smoking weed for every day? Fault?
Come on, man, for real. But if you took that beer,
drinking weed, smoking chill time and apply it to progressing
yourself towards your dream, when you do carve out a

(04:24):
vacation Guess where you be able to go. Guess what
part of the world you can go see? Guess how
you can you Now I'm instead of you just driving
every year your family to the family union, sit at
the same picnic table, everybody pull their money in. Ten
families don't never pull they money in. They down there
eating like y'all eating. You got attitude because the day

(04:46):
or day side don't ever chip in, and no they
down they eating extra potatoes. That making places. You're not
arguing about this every year for real, Man, they ain't
got the T shirt money. You know they got to
say a T shirt, don't. They ain't put in that really, man,
so so so so so you want that to be
it every year? Or do you want this year, I'm

(05:07):
taking my family to New Orleans, or I'm taking my
family see the Grand Canyon. I'm taking my family down
to the beach this year, and me and my family
gonna go sight see. We're gonna go ride couple the
river on Chicago. Me and my family gonna go skiing
this year, and me and my family going out to
La Man, We're gon We're gonna go out there for
the weekend. You know, you know it can happen like that.

(05:28):
But if you ain't working, listen to me. Average effort
gets average results. See. Ordinary effort gets ordinary results. But
if you put forth an extra effort, see the only

(05:49):
difference between extraordinary and ordinary is one word, that's extra.
If you do extra, you can take ordinary right on
over to extraordinary. Do you want to stand? You have
to have a massive assault on your dreams. Quit sitting
up in here, man, trying to chill all the time.
I'm sorry, man, I wish I could tell you another way,
but it ain't one. I didn't talk to jay Z

(06:11):
about this. I didn't talk Samuel all about this. I
don't talked to said about this. I didn't talk I
have talked to the President of the United States. I've
had a conversation with him about his effort. You look
at this. You cannot become successful with our effort. You
cannot be concerned about sleep. Here's what I did. Now.

(06:35):
You can take it from me, or you can try
it your way. But when you get through trying it,
this is what you're gonna have to do. I wasn't
concerned about how much sleep I got. I just had
to get my rest, and once I got enough, rest,
to get up and get the task done. I got up.
Somebody sent me a tweet the other day, a partner

(06:58):
of mine. He's someone if I can pull it up
while I'm talking to you. But you just sent me
a little sign. Just was nothing, just a little something
to say, Hey man, I ran across this, I thought
about you, and I sent it to you. It said,
no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. He said,

(07:18):
no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. That's what
you got to be about. You gotta take that dream.
You gotta get passionate about it, and you gotta get awake,
and you got to get up and get at it.
And you gotta put forth a massive assault on your dream.
Your effort has got to be extraordinary. If you put

(07:38):
forth extraordinary, If you put forth extra effort, you go
from ordinary to extraordinary. That's the deal. You think it's
another way, If you got another way, could you please
email it to me, Steve Harvey doctor, let me know
so I can slow down. So I don't know no
other way, all right,
