Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we are with your closing remarks. What you have
for us today, sir? All right? Today, I want to
share something inspirational to all of you. Again. I want
you all to understand some It's not that I know everything,
because I don't, but I have been through quite a bit.
(00:20):
My life has been a walking testimonial if I'm allowed
to say that, I am a walking testimony of the
power of prayer, what prayer can do to change a person.
I am a walking testament of what grace and mercy
(00:40):
is because God has forgiven me thousands of times. He
has poured into my life above and beyond anything that
I ever really imagined I have. You know, it amazes
me when people say always knew I'd be here. I
can't say that, because how can I say I always
(01:01):
knew I'd be here when I didn't even know here existed.
I had imagined some things, but I am beyond what
I was capable of imagining back as a child. What
how would I know any of this? And so what
I want to talk to you all about is a
couple of things that it takes to become successful. And
(01:26):
if you're willing to do a couple of things, you
can be successful. One of the things is first things First,
the Bible says a man without a dream or vision
shall perish. So first thing, you gotta want something. You
got to have some dreams. But after you have these dreams,
(01:50):
you have to convert the dream into goals. The only
way to convert a dream into a goal is to
start planning how to make the dream come true and
then start taking the necessary steps towards the goal, which
(02:11):
can still be your dream. Now here's a cool thing
about taking that step in the right direction towards your dreams.
Your dreams can change, which means the goal will change
and your dream will change along the way, because you're
going to get exposed and see some things that you
didn't even know existed before, and you'll add that to
(02:31):
the vision board, and then and then and then and
then you'll make that a new goal. It's just going
to be a lot of that. And so what you
have to do is you have to keep on pushing.
You have to keep pressing forward because all of that
is going to change, Trust me, it will. So you
(02:55):
got to convert the dreams into goals. That's simply making
those dreams have a plan of action. The next thing
you're gonna have to do is you're going to have
to be willing to give up some free time. You
got to get rid of free time. Time is something
you can never get back, and free time often is
(03:17):
wasted time. I'm not saying you can't have no free time,
because everybody needs some free time, but you gotta limit
the free time until you get to where you're going.
See when you see a person who's wealthy taking some
time off, they've accumulated some stuff where they can take
(03:37):
some time off. But if you check to check, you
ain't got that. You don't have that. See, wealthy people
accumulate time and wealth, so they have a reserve. So
when they out of work for five eight weeks, they
still got income coming. They still got money being made.
(04:00):
But for those of you that's on the hustle, in
the grind, you gotta cut into some of that free time,
take some of that free time, and turn it into
productive time. See it's PT time. See FT is free time,
but PT is productive time. And you've got to swap
(04:21):
those two out so you can take advantage of your
times in the day. People ask me all the time, man,
how you do all that that you be doing. I
got the same twenty four everybody else got. I've just
decided to remove some of the free time and replace
it with productive time. And then here's the deal. I
spend all my time building my dreams, so when I
(04:45):
get some time, I can live my dreams. Do you
understand me? That's the exchange that you have to be
willing to make. Y'all. Success is not gonna walk up
to the door and just present itself in the basket
the doorbell and walk off and you open it up
in there. It is the male man, don't drop it off.
It's a grind and a hustle. I say it all
(05:07):
the time. The dream is absolutely free. The hustle is
so separately. I'm on the hustle man. I invite you
to get on the hustle, and folks, you can do it.
You can do it, man, if you, if you, if
you swap out some of this free time for productive time,
if you take all this stuff you dream, Nothing comes
(05:28):
to a dreamer but some more dreams. Eventually, you gotta
swap those dreams out and replace the dreams with goals.
If you're dreaming of a big house, you gotta make
the goal a big house. If you're dreaming of owning
a business one day, you gotta make that owning a
business a goal. It's gotta be a necessity. You gotta
(05:51):
want to be successful like you want nothing else. You
gotta want it. You gotta break it, you breathe it,
you gotta dream, dream, dream it. You got to live it.
You gotta eat it, you gotta taste it, you gotta
want it. You gotta get funky to get it. You
got to get funky to get it. Man, you got
(06:12):
to have a lot of dog in you. So if
you want to be successful, convert those dreams into goals.
Keep on dreaming and just keep converting them into more goals.
Take some of that free time, get rid of it
and turn it into productive time. You can change the
course of your life. That's a truth statement, all right,
