Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's my close remarks. I just want to remind them,
but I want to Almo always try to be encouraged. Hey, y'all,
listen to me. Get committed. Get committed to your visions,
to your dreams, to your hopes, your aspirations, your wants,

(00:26):
your progress, your success, your happiness. Get committed to it.
There are steps you can take if you live you know,
I live by a simple analogy. You know. You know
what stops a lot of people from going towards their
goals and stuff. They look at the end result. They

(00:46):
look at the end, and they don't see the steps
to get there, and so they never start. You know, y'all,
that's not how you accomplish a goal. Yeah, you should
know where you'd love to have happen eventually, but they
eventually will never happen if you don't start. And let

(01:08):
me tell you something. There is always something you can
do to start the progress or to start the process.
There's something you can always do. I tell people all
the time when they come to me about accomplishing their dreams.
I said, listen to me, what could you do right
now to start the process. Could you start researching it?

(01:31):
Could you go down there and order you a business card.
Can you open up your business line? Can you make
a deposit into your bank account? Can you make one
yourself and sell it? See everybody trying to figure out
how to make a million dollars, when you really got
to show me how to make ten. That's how you

(01:55):
get to the million. Nobody starts with the million. Somebody
start with ten. Somebody have ten dollars. Listen to me.
Everybody God created has a gift. God never created a
single soul without bestowing a gift upon them. And in
this gift that you have, somebody will give you ten

(02:16):
dollars for it. I'm just betting. If you into culinary,
somebody pay you ten dollars to cook, bake a cake.
Somebody pay you two dollars, ten dollars to do they hair,
they eyelashes. Somebody pay you ten dollars cut their grains.
Somebody pay you ten dollars fix their car. Somebody will
pay you ten dollars to tutor. Somebody will pay you
ten dollars. Come over, babysit. Everybody has something they can

(02:39):
do to produce ten dollars. Why don't you do that first?
If you do that, and you can make ten dollars.
Here's what you do. I call it the ten x theory.
If you do that ten times, you have one hundred dollars.
Whatever you did to make one hundred dollars, if you
just do that ten more time, you have one thousand dollars.

(03:03):
After you make a thousand dollars, y'all, this is what
I want you to do. Do whatever you did to
make a thousand dollars, do it ten more times. You
now have ten thousand dollars. Now here's where it starts
to get difficult for people. After you make the ten
thousand dollars from the ten dollar idea that you just

(03:24):
did once. Once you make the ten thousand dollars, here's
what I want you to do. Locate some like minded people,
get you some help, do it ten more times, and
ladies and gentlemen, you have now one hundred thousand dollars.
But guess what you started with your ten dollar idea

(03:45):
that everybody can do. Everybody has a ten dollar idea.
You just got to multiply the effort. The idea don't change.
And then when you make one hundred thousand dollars, here's
where it gets really really challenging. And here's the part
that stops most people from becoming rich. After you've made

(04:08):
one hundred thousand dollars, here's the hard part. I want
you to do whatever you did to make the one
hundred thousand, I want you to do it ten more times.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have now made one million dollars
from a ten dollars idea. That's how it's done. I

(04:33):
didn't get here charging this much for jokes on family feud,
on the radio, on celebrity, on the Judge Show, on
the Steve Harvey Show, on the Kings of Comedy. I
started making twenty five dollars a night. That's what I made.
I remember when I got it up to fifty a night.
I remember when I was making seventy five dollars a night.

(04:55):
I remember I would drive six hours for one hundred
dollars a show. I remember then I got up to
one twenty five. Everything was in twenty five dollars increments.
I remember one fifty a night. I remember when I
started making two fifty a night. I said, man, this
is great. If I could just make five hundred dollars
a night and do X amount of nights, man, I'll

(05:15):
be hugely successful. Guess what. I messed around and started
making five hundred dollars a night. And then I found out, man,
that it was dudes making ten thousand dollars a week
for headlining. What let me go try that? Then I
got to that. Then I kept stacking it and stacking

(05:36):
this tack. And guess what, y'all, all I'm doing is
the same thing I'm doing that made twenty five dollars.
I'm just telling jokes, man, now, I don't care if
it's telling jokes, cutting grass, doing hair, frying chicken, baking pies,
doing eyebrows, fixing cars, babysitting. I don't care what it is.

(05:57):
You have an idea that you can do for ten dollars,
all you gotta do is start multiplying the effort. You
can do that, but you gotta start somewhere. Here's the
mantra that I live by inch by inch. Anything's a cinch.

(06:17):
I just take one step at a time. You're gonna
look up one day and you're gonna be messed around
and made it. Those are my clothing remarks. Talk to
God today. He would absolutely love to hear from you.
Y'all have a great day. Man man. But y'all get started, Okay,
start today with what you can do. For all Steve
