Mike Ward six seven eight zero asks how
do you motivate yourself when no one
else believes in you well Mike I can
give you two answers one is the
politically correct one one is the
[ __ ] truth it depends on which one
you want to hear I'll give you both
actually the politically correct answer
is well you got to just hustle you got a
you got to just put your head down and
you got a you don't know your goal know
where you're going and you hear this
these things a lot he's the truth that
if you need someone to motivate you
you're not that motivated what I notice
is high performance people we are
self-motivated there are a lot of people
there looking for the family and they
used as an excuse oh you know my wife my
husband they don't support me my parents
don't support me my kids don't support
me or my friends don't support me guess
what
do not expect their support the air is
thin at the top and you have to learn to
be alone without being lonely that's
just a path that when you are becoming
more successful that's the biggest thing
that holds most people back it's not the
how to it's not the know what it's not
don't know what to do it's not the
business idea is the fact that they
cannot operate on their own
being able to self motivate at the same
time not having to get permission from
the people around them that they wish
how come
don't you know I'm doing this for you
how come mine how come you guys don't
support me how come my family don't
support me how come they don't
understand I don't get it I want to make
more money I want to be more successful
to better their lives how come they
don't understand guess what most of time
they will never understand you're
expecting something that that won't
happen that's what's holding you back
you're expecting them to give you
permission yeah go for the cheer you up
no now the question is why don't they
support you it's very simple
it's very very simple I go through this
whole thing exactly
in my own life first of all they don't
understand because most of us we grew up
in the Miss educational system where
it's teaching you to behave a certain
way go to school get good grades and
walk this path get a degree get a job
work to is 65 marry have kids get a get
a big mortgage that's your life anything
that deviates from that anything that's
not the traditional path that is stupid
that is dangerous that is wrong you
shouldn't do that you should do this so
the minute you want to walk a different
path you're the people around you your
loved ones do you feel like you're so
weird how come you can't do what
everybody else just just be normal just
saddle just just why we don't take risk
play safe gets a secure job and the more
you deviate from that traditional path
the more they feel like they're the
bigger the distance between you and them
they are afraid to lose you they're
afraid that to lose you the they're
afraid that you leave them behind that's
why you don't have to support and all
your buddies are your friends do you
really think they want you to be mega
successful to to lift that dream life to
travel live in that beautiful home to
drive that car that they can never
afford do you really think they want to
be that successful while they're living
paycheck to paycheck hell [ __ ] know
they might say oh yeah we cheer for you
we could congratulations man good for
you
deep down in venous jealousy lower self
it's human nature so what I'm saying is
don't don't even expect it you're
wasting your time you do what you think
is right you do what you believe it's
right you walk your own path they might
see it they might not see it I'm not
expecting to see them this is my life
it's not their life I do what I know I
need to do so if you need someone to
motivate you you're not gonna be
successful I me down log I don't need
anyone to motivate me I don't even need
people to understand me I understand me
I motivate me you're waiting with some
of the motive be
didn't support me how could it be motor
you can't even get yourself to get off
the [ __ ] bet and wake up and do what
it takes and you want to be successful
you want to be better than everybody
else you want to develop that skill not
gonna happen just not gonna happen you
need be self-motivated look across any
industry sports entertainment business
anyone who's achieved excellence usually
the motivate them because they demand
more from themselves than anybody else
could I demand more for myself than
anybody else could do you demand more
from yourself
than anybody else could so don't wait do
it and just do it
