Speaker 1 (00:00):
So what do you have for us yesterday? A real
good piece of motivation that makes your quest to become
successful a little bit simpler. You know, oftentimes people are
stuck in a rut because they can't think, they way
clear to see the end result. What I mean by is,
(00:20):
some people make such lofty goals and then they sit
there without a plan of attack to achieve that lofty goal,
until they've created a goal that seems so daunting that
they don't even start the process of a trying to
accomplish it. For example. And this doesn't have to be
the case. I'm just using this as an example. Let's
(00:42):
say you want to be a millionaire, and you say, wow,
I want to make a million dollars, and then you
start thinking of how to make the million dollars, and
because you can't, it becomes so daunting. Making a million
dollars is difficult. If it were easy, wouldn't you do
it by Friday? Wouldn't you? Of course you would, But
(01:05):
it's a little more difficult than that. So here's what
I had to learn in my life. Everybody listening to
this was born with a gift. It's inside of you.
Because God is very fair, He didn't put it on
a mountaintop. He didn't hide it under a rock. It's
in you, and your gift is the thing that you
(01:25):
do the absolute best with the least amount of effort.
In that lies your greatest chance for success. There's a
scripture that says your gift will make room for you
and put you in the presence of great men. Let's
just look at the first part of that, your gift
will make room for you. My interpretation of that has
(01:48):
meant what my gift has done for me. It has
allowed me to spread out, It has taken me places
I never dreamed i'd go. Your gift will do the
same thing for you. So now let's just talk about
your ability to get to the million. I think it's
what your gift because if that's that he gave you
and instilled it you at birth, was to make room
(02:11):
for you. Here's your chance. Now how do I do that? Steve?
I call it to maximize your effort by ten theory.
It's just something I came up with driving when I
was homeless and coming up with how to make it,
and I discovered something. All of you have something that
some would pay you ten dollars to do. Some of
you paint, some of you teach, some of you babysit tutors.
(02:34):
Some of you work with your hands, some of you
can sing, some of you can choreograph. Some of you
it's so many things. Cut grass, I mean, play the pianos.
Some of you do something. Some of y'all work on cars,
some of y'all drive. But all of you have something
that you will do that someone will give you ten
(02:55):
dollars to do. All of you have something that someone
will pay you ten dollars because you do something that
someone else can't do. So now all you gotta do
instead of trying to figure out how to make a
million dollars is go make the ten dollars that you're
able to make. Once you make that ten dollars, I
want you to do it ten more times. When you
do it ten more times, you now have one hundred dollars.
(03:15):
Once you have one hundred dollars, it's very simple. Do
the same thing you did to make the one hundred
dollars ten more times. You now have one thousand dollars. See,
you don't have to keep thinking of something else to do.
Just keep doing the same thing that you've been doing.
Just do it multiply the effort. It's the effort that
maximizes and brings about the fruition of what your life
can be. So, if you make a thousand dollars and
(03:38):
you do that ten more times, I have news for you.
Now have ten thousand dollars. Now. Now, in order to
make one hundred thousand, you might need a little bit
of help. You might need to hire somebody and help
you do the thing that you do. But if you
make ten thousand dollars and you do what you did
to make ten thousand dollars, which is the same thing
you did to make ten dollars, if you do it
ten more times, you now have one hundred dollars. Now,
(04:01):
listen to me, my friends. Once you have one hundred
thousand dollars, I can assure you you are going to
need help because in order to maximize one hundred thousand dollars,
you have to have some like minded people around you.
Nobody gets to the top alone. Nobody becomes successful and
wealthy by themselves. They form partnerships, relationships, they get employees.
(04:21):
But once you make one hundred thousand dollars doing the
same thing you did to make ten dollars if you
do it ten more times, I have news for you,
my friends. Congratulations, you have just made one million dollars
with a ten dollar idea. Stop trying to figure out
how to make the million. But all you got to
do is take your ten dollar gift that God has
put in you. It's a million dollar gift that you have.
(04:44):
You just haven't broken it down inch by inch. Anything's
a cinch. And maximize the efforts. That's how you become successful.
These jokes that pay me what I make now, it's
the same jokes that pay me twenty five dollars a night.
They the same jokes. It's all English. This is not
in another language. I don't know no more words now
(05:05):
than I knew then. I've taken these twenty five dollar
jokes and I maximize them over and over and over
and over and over and over and over. It's the
same jokes I was telling. Babysitters who charge fifty dollars
to watch kids. Babysitters end up opening up daycare centers.
(05:27):
Daycare centers turned into franchises crim Dela crim Monossori schools.
These are national franchises. Somebody was just babysitting my partner
used to cut grass fus three dollars in the front,
three dollars in the back. He got a landscape. Come
here in Cleveland. He make four million dollars a year.
(05:49):
You know what he do? He cut grass, same six
dollar grass cutting he been doing. He check out some trucks. Now,
what is it that you do that somebody will pay
you ten dollars that you can maximize your effort for
and turn it into your million for trying to figure
out how to make the million. Take your ten dollars
skills set and start hammering it and beating it and
(06:10):
working it and grinding and hustling and multiplying and magnifying it,
and you'll make a million dollars. That's my closing remarks.
Thank y'all very much.
