dig me now.

One and only.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, I want to
talk to you today about success. But I want to
talk to you about it like I usually do in
terms of a principle of it, but I want to

(02:29):
share something with you about it.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
And I was talking to my daughter about it.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
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
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,

(02:57):
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
the sheer effort that it takes to become successful at
anything in any area of your life. If you think
that doing your best is enough, I got news for you.

(03:20):
It's not. Well, Steve. What if you've done your best, though,
and your best ain't good enough? Well, let me ask
you that same question.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Hold on.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
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 adds something to it.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You've never done everything.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
There is no you can't go no more, you can't
add no more. I've seen marathon end up crawling across
the line. I've seen triathlon people man just staggering in
the street and didn't want nobody to help them because
they knew they would disqualify them from the race. You
got more? Have you ever dipped into your reserve tank?

(04:18):
That's what we're talking about now. See, all of us
have a reserve tank, you know. You know. On my ranch,
I like to ride four wheelers, I have all terrain
vehicles and all of them have a gas tank on
it and a gas tank in most of mine. Let
me see all of them. Yeah, all of them have
gas tank needles on them, and it lets me know.

(04:39):
When I get down towards eight, there's a little lane
that's red that lets me know. Okay, Steve, you're in
a 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.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
All of my.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
All terrain vehicle, 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.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
That means they know.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
That for the hard core riders, they're gonna ride somewhere,
they're gonna get themselves in a situation and they're gonna
run out of everything.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
They're gonna run out of road, they're gonna run out
of gas.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
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

(05:49):
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.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
But if the.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Best it 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 to do something

(06:31):
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 (06:43):
Something.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
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.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
When you make the one hundred thousand dollars, you can't go.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Nowhere and go on vacation and put your hand behind
your head and say, I made one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Guess what you got to do.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
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.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Let's say, let me show you this. Suppose it takes you.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Five to eight years to find 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. More, it's only

(07:50):
just begun now because guess what, 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. You're
gonna want another fifty because you're a human being, because

(08:10):
you gotta have something else to shoot for.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Now you're gonna want another fifty. Well, now that guess
what you gotta do.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Now, Now you gotta do what you did before, 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's the importance of your relationship with God, because you're
gonna constantly need it. It ain't have a point where

(08:37):
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 unless you then just gave up.
And if you done gave up, who wants that? Come on, y'all,
this is going to take quite a bit of effort,
and if you think it'll come to you any other way,
you're sadly mistaken. Because of all the successful people I know,

(09:00):
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 all that club and all that drinking, all

(09:22):
that you gotta cut a whole lot of.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Monkey business out to be successful.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Man, if you're planning on being successful, get up early,
stay up late, work, try, think, meet, greet, smile, attract.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
It takes a lot, let's go, but you can do it.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
God is plussed to passing out blessings all day long.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Why are you not in line for yours?

Speaker 4 (09:46):
I'm telling you right now, I want everything God got
for me because what he's shown me so far. Who
if he got some moke man or man? How good
is God?

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Huh? You're listening morning show
