Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is time for your closing remarks today.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I want to keep it positive, but I want to
keep it encouraging at the same time. And always as usual,
I just want to say this before I start. It's
not that I think I know everything, because I don't,
but I have learned quite a bit. I have learned
how to come from the back towards the front. I've
(00:25):
learned how to be at the bottom and work my
way towards the top. I've learned how to get over
because I've been under I've learned how to win because
I have lost so many times. I've have learned how
to develop an understanding because I have been more than
confused before. So I have paid for these lessons that
(00:49):
I've learned. So I'm just sharing and that's all I'm doing.
You don't have to take any of this that I
say to harder. You may choose to go another way.
But for those that are really open to just hearing
some theories of success, that's why I decided to start
doing closing remarks again.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Today.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I want to talk to you about something that really
helps everybody, and it's very simple.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Get focused.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You got to get focused, folks, You've got to become
what I call laser beam driven. You've got to set
your goals and visions up, and you've got to put
those blinders on that you see on the horse.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
See.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The reason they put the blinders on a horse is
so that the horse's peripheral vision doesn't distract him. If
you have up in New York and you see those
carriages going around Central Park, all those horses have on blinders.
It's so that they can keep their attention of the
horse straight ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Blinders are very good.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
If you want to be successful, you're gonna have to
put on a pair of blinders. That's so your eyes
when you look left right, it forces you to get
them back out front the way you're trying to go. See,
because those blinders block out distractions. They block out distractions
because they know. You got to get laser beam focused.
(02:13):
If you want to be successful, you have to focus.
You have to stop veering off track. You're just making
the journey longer. You know, they say the quickest way
from point A to B is a straight line. Now
in life, it doesn't work that way. There's no straight lines.
But you can avoid some of the detours, some of
(02:34):
the distractions, but you gotta quit veering off track. Everybody
come to you. You can't participate in everything. Hey man,
we going out tonight. Hey man, we're going over here
this weekend. Hey man, come on man, you ain't got
to study. We getting ready to do this. Hey man,
don't worry about that. We going a happy hour. Come on, man,
you can't go to everything. Stop veering off track. Next,
(02:57):
look at it like this. Get your mind made up.
Get your mind made up of what you want to
have in your life, the legacy you want to leave,
what you want people to think of you as, how
much money you really want to make, Where are you
really trying to go, How do you really want to
be viewed? What do you really want to accomplish? Get
your mind made up. Here's another way to look at it.
(03:20):
Make a decision. Stop just wandering around. Life is a
series of decisions.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Make one. Just make a decision today. Make a decision.
In other words, come to a conclusion.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Man, Just sit up and say to yourself, you know what,
this is the deal for me, This is what works
best for me. This is who I really am. Skip
the outside interferes from your friends and you and your
relatives of what they think you ought to be and
do what's really good for you. Don't nobody know what's
best for you better than you. Come to a conclusion,
(03:58):
make a decision, set a goal, have a vision, get thirsty,
want something so bad that without it, your mouth tastes dry.
You got to get thirsty, man. See when you thirsty,
you got to get that quenched. You have to quench
(04:21):
your thirst. And that's how you gotta pursue success. You
gotta pursue success like you thirsty. You gotta be thirsty, man.
You gotta want something so bad that if you don't
get it, your mouth tastes dry.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
What are you thirsty for?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
If you ain't thirsty for nothing, you ain't giving it
all you got. I'm telling you, man, this is how
I look at it. These are just some triggers that
I put in my head. Be relentless. You got to
be relentless about something. Being a relentless person has a
(04:59):
carryover a fit. And if you get relentless about your
dreams and goals, do you know that makes you relentless
about everything. If you develop these positive characteristics about being successful,
you can get there. You got to get focused. You
got to stop veering off track. You got to get
your mind made up. You got to make a decision.
(05:21):
You got to come to a conclusion. You got to
set a goal. You gotta have a vision. You gotta
get thirsty. You have to be relentless. If you're not,
you a ve off track. If you veer off track,
you will never get to where you're trying to go.
You got to get focused, y'all. It's as simple as that.
(05:45):
And if you know how to do it, ask God
to show you how. That's the other thing. No matter
what I tell you, if you include God and everything
I'm telling you that, it becomes a lot simpler. You know,
God can help you get focused. Anything you short of
He got plenty of. God in to make your dream
come true.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Business. God is in to turn your life around. Business.
God is in to pull it together. Business. God in
the get over business. He can do it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
So if you don't know how to get focused, ask
God to help you get focused, and then make a
decision to be focused and get on with your life.
