More resources will not make you more successful.
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:12.650
Becoming more resourceful with what you already have will think about that for a second.
00:00:13.070 --> 00:00:19.789
No one, and I mean no one that you idolize had everything that they needed before they got started.
00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:21.199
Not one single person.
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:28.728
They worked with the limited resources that they already had mixed together with a naive belief that they could do it.
00:00:29.689 --> 00:00:35.929
And when people on the sideline looked at 'em and called 'em crazy, they got started anyway.
00:00:36.738 --> 00:00:38.299
And this brings me back to you.
00:00:38.929 --> 00:00:40.128
Let me ask you something.
00:00:41.209 --> 00:00:42.588
What are you not starting?
00:00:43.774 --> 00:00:47.283
Simply because you think you don't have what you need.
00:00:48.253 --> 00:00:49.573
Let me set the record straight.
00:00:50.143 --> 00:00:51.194
That's all bullshit.
00:00:51.914 --> 00:01:00.853
Back to my original point, no one, and I mean no one had a complete success starter kit before they even got started.
00:01:01.274 --> 00:01:02.954
They built it how?
00:01:03.405 --> 00:01:04.213
Three different ways.
00:01:05.069 --> 00:01:07.530
Number one, they used what they already had.
00:01:08.039 --> 00:01:10.289
They got creative, they got curious.
00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:14.430
They had a duct tape, plywood and hammer kind of mindset.
00:01:14.849 --> 00:01:16.289
You remember that when you were a kid.
00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:22.140
See, your parents didn't take you to Home Depot to help you build a a Ford in the backyard.
00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:31.620
You used old scrap wood, rusty nails that you pulled out of the wood and reused, and you nailed that shit together.
00:01:32.608 --> 00:01:36.539
What you didn't have nails, you duct taped it and you made it work.
00:01:36.778 --> 00:01:38.879
That's the kind of mindset that I'm talking about.
00:01:40.198 --> 00:01:43.289
Number two, through the reps, they became more efficient.
00:01:44.189 --> 00:01:53.579
Your dues are in what you do, your DUES, the dues you pay, the reps are in what you do.
00:01:54.090 --> 00:02:00.390
You gotta pay your dues and it's doing and doing and doing so through the reps. This is how you're gonna be more efficient.
00:02:00.689 --> 00:02:09.539
See those people that have gotten started, they used what they already had through the reps, they realized.
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:21.909
What they needed, what really worked and what didn't work because what they thought they needed or what everybody was telling them, what they needed was total bullshit.
00:02:22.859 --> 00:02:24.629
They used what they already had.
00:02:25.349 --> 00:02:30.019
And this, the lack made a more c more creative.
00:02:30.633 --> 00:02:32.104
Your lack is your leverage.
00:02:32.343 --> 00:02:54.364
It actually is because it increases that muscle of creativity and curiosity and along the way, this is what builds the collaboration because you're gonna find some misfits that, that are just crazy enough to champion along with you.
00:02:54.724 --> 00:02:56.373
And help you put some shit together.
00:02:57.294 --> 00:02:59.274
This is that beautiful collaboration.
00:02:59.873 --> 00:03:02.664
think Steve Wasniak and Steve Jobs.
00:03:02.903 --> 00:03:15.399
Two Misfits man came together, built Apple, And because they used what they already had, I. And they realized through the reps, they got more efficient.
00:03:15.399 --> 00:03:17.829
And through the reps they became more efficient.
00:03:19.329 --> 00:03:21.399
Eventually they got what they wanted.
00:03:21.449 --> 00:03:23.969
And beyond, I've gotta emphasize and beyond.
00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:43.349
This is huge because when you get started, when you put your head down, when you knuckle up, when you throw your whole heart into it, not waiting for permission, not needing validation, not asking for opinions, not needing someone else's help, you just go, here's the kicker.
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:45.150
Your original dream.
00:03:45.735 --> 00:04:03.754
You're gonna realize was too small because, see, you were looking at it through a narrow lens, and you realize now that you're putting in the reps, now that you're just getting after it and you're building this thing, it gets wider, it gets deeper, it gets more vast.
00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:17.778
See, the lens that you were looking at was narrow and limited because you were shaping it based on your past and your present, and now you're building your future.
00:04:18.709 --> 00:04:39.620
When you get more resourceful using what you already have, your vision expands, your future gets bigger, deeper, wider, let me put your mind at ease on something, everything that you think that you need, if you instantly got it, number one, you wouldn't even know how to use it.
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.420
You couldn't even maximize it.
00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:51.050
You'd be so overwhelmed and stuck not knowing where to begin, and out of frustration, you'd revert back to what you already know anyway.
00:04:51.649 --> 00:04:54.379
And number two, the moment you got it.
00:04:55.324 --> 00:04:56.165
You'd want more.
00:04:56.495 --> 00:05:01.894
If you instantly got what you wanted, you'd want more because that's human nature.
00:05:02.225 --> 00:05:03.545
We always want more.
00:05:04.245 --> 00:05:05.925
We always want what's next.
00:05:06.074 --> 00:05:12.785
We always want what someone else has, so why not earn more by using what you already got?
00:05:13.204 --> 00:05:14.764
You don't need more resources.
00:05:15.725 --> 00:05:18.545
You need to become more resourceful and as you do.
00:05:19.413 --> 00:05:20.793
Your resources will come.
00:05:21.303 --> 00:05:22.444
All right, let's get outta here.
00:05:22.444 --> 00:05:23.043
Keep it simple.
00:05:23.043 --> 00:05:23.644
Keep it moving.
00:05:23.644 --> 00:05:24.184
Never settle.
00:05:24.184 --> 00:05:24.723
Stay tough.
00:05:24.723 --> 00:05:25.173
Peace.
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.339
