Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on. Ah huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Okay, I want to talk to you today
about success. But I want to talk to you about
(00:26):
it like I usually do in terms of a principle
of it, but I want to share something with you
about it. And I was talking to my daughter about it.
I've talked about my son in law about it, talked
about it with all my children, and I'm really starting
to express it to them now because I'm talking to
(00:47):
a wide range of people constantly. But I want to
share something with you. If you have any aspiration of
being successful, I want you to realize, starting right now,
the effort that is going to require. And that's why
I think it stops a lot of people. I think
a lot of people are never told or don't understand
(01:10):
the sheer efforts that it takes to become successful at
anything in any area of your life. If you think
that doing your best is enough, that I got news
for you. It's not. Well, Steve. What if you've done
your best, though, and your best ain't good enough? Well,
(01:32):
let me ask you that same question. Hold on, if
you want to be successful and you've done your best,
and best isn't good enough. What you threw that's it.
But Steve, it was my best. No no, no, no no.
It was the best you had at that time, in
that particular day. But tomorrow add something to it. You've
(01:54):
never done everything. There is no you can't go no
mo you can't add no more. I've seen marathon runners
end up crawling across the line. I've seen triathlone people
man just staggering in the street and didn't want nobody
to help them because they knew that would disqualify them
from the race. You got more? Have you ever dipped
(02:19):
into your reserve tank? That's what we're talking about now.
See all of us have a reserve tank, you know.
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
On my ranch, I like to ride four wheelers.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I have all terrain vehicles, and all of them have
a gas tank on it, and a gas tank in
most of mine.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Let me see all of them.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah, all of them have gas tank needles on them,
and it lets me know when I get down towards eight,
there's a little lane that's red that lets me know. Okay, Steve,
you're in the danger zone. Now you're riding into the
lowest part of your tank. But if I keep riding
and I forget to get some gas in there, guess
what when it runs out of gas. All of my
(03:01):
all terrain vehicles, all of them, Honda Polaris, all of them.
Those are the makers. There's a button on the gas
tank itself that I can click and it says reserve.
That means they.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Know that for the hard core riders.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They're gonna ride somewhere, they're gonna get themselves in a
situation and they're gonna run out of everything, They're gonna
run out of road, they're gonna run.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Out of gas.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They've prepared because they know for the hard core rider,
every hard core rider needs a reserve tank. And so
there's a button that you can click on the gas
tank that clicks it into a reserve and it'll give
you about fifty miles or twenty miles worth of gas
in that. Now, guess what in that reserve that may
(03:51):
be all you need to get you the where you're going,
or get you back to safety so you can refuel.
Don't tell me you've done your best. When your best,
don't cut it. What you're gonna do. See when best
is possible, then good enough ain't enough. See that's good enough.
(04:12):
But if the best is possible, why would you not
shoot for that? And you you are all capable of
making it. But you've got to change your mindset and
realize the effort that has to be put forth in
becoming successful. You've got to do it relentlessly, over and
over and over and over and every day. I try
(04:32):
to do something to progress my life for the better.
I try to do something every day. I wake up
every day with the plan. Some phone calls, some meetings,
some some some some interviews.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Something.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Man, that's going to advance and move the brand forward.
Because here's what's gonna happen. You are Let's say you
reach your goal. Let's say your goal is to make
now one hundred thousand dollars. Well, I got news for you.
Listen to this. When you make the one hundred thousand dollars,
you can't go nowhere and go on vacation and put
(05:06):
your hand behind your head and say I made one
hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Guess what you got to do.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You got to find a way now to maintain that
one hundred thousand to keep it coming in. See, you
can't just get there and stop and rest and whoa.
It is harder to maintain your success than it is
to get successful. See. Let's say, let me show you this.
Suppose it takes you five to eight years to find
(05:35):
a way to make fifty thousand dollars. Let's say it
takes you five to eight years to find a way
to make an extra fifty thousand dollars, and you finally,
through work and effort, you get to the fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Math. It's only just begun now because guess what.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
In order to keep the fifty coming in, you got
to duplicate what you did to get there. And then, oh,
here's what you're going to have the audacity being a
human being.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You're gonna want another.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Fifty because you're a human being, because you gotta have
something else to shoot for.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now you're gonna want another fifty. Well, now, I guess
what you gotta do.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now, Now you gotta do what you did before for
plus you gotta come up with something else. Then after that,
you're gonna have the audacity. Because you're humans, You're gonna
want another fifty. Says how this works, and see that
that that's the importance of your relationship with God, because
you're gonna constantly need it and ain't over a point
(06:39):
where you're gonna be through needing it. But that ain't
gonna become a point in your life where you're going through,
won't be through, won't nothing.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Unless you then just gave up. And if you done
gave up, who wants that?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Come on, y'all, this is going to take quite a
bit of effort, And if you think it'll come.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
To you any other way, you're sadly mistaken.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Because of all the successful people I know, I know
that the effort they put out on a daily basis
is daunting, and I think that the average person just
doesn't understand the requirement of time and effort that it
takes to get that and willingness to put it out.
You got to cut a lot of monkey business out
your life, all that hanging out, all that late and
(07:21):
all that club and all that drinking, all that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You got to cut a whole lot of monkey business
out to be successful.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Man, if you're planning on being successful, get up early,
stay up late, work, try, think, meet, greet, smile, attract.
It takes a lot let's go, but you can do it.
God is pressed to passing out blessings all day long.
Why are you not in line for yours? I'm telling
(07:48):
you right now, I want everything God got for me
because what he's shown me so far.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Who if he got some moke man or man? How
good is God? Huh? Steve Harvey Morning Show
Come on. Ah huh, I sure will.
