00:00Hello ladies and gentlemen, WinBeeTime is a free app on Oculus Quest, it's strictly
00:20for chatting, and it's usually like about 4 people, which includes myself.
00:29Over there there's a stone, a stone, and a stone, and it's open for people to sit down
00:35on the stone and we can talk about things, but since it's pretty new I haven't seen a
00:40lot of people here, which is okay, because I don't feel like talking to people, I feel
00:44like talking to you.
00:46I just want you to know the road to success is a heck of a road my friend, to become successful
00:57in anything you have two elements you're going to always be fighting, the internal and the
01:04external.
01:05The internal is you, and the external is the elements around you.
01:13The internal has to do with your willpower, your desires, your focus, your determination.
01:24It has to do with goal setting and discipline.
01:30It has to do with you being able to accept failures and be able to recalibrate yourself.
01:42The internal has to do with you getting up every morning, focusing on your goals.
01:49I spoke to a young lady named Batty from Batty Creations in alternate space, and she creates
01:55beautiful designs, and when I spoke to her she told me that every single day for 9 months
02:05she studied her craft, which is alternate space designing.
02:10Every single day for 9 months, she said she had no idea how to do it, she didn't even
02:15have a computer, but she's seen it, and she wanted to be a part of it.
02:24That takes dedication, if you want to be a baseball player or basketball player, you
02:33have to practice baseball and basketball every day.
02:38You have to watch baseball on TV, go to baseball games.
02:44You have to definitely have a bat and a ball.
02:49You got to force yourself that when you don't feel like getting up, to get up and go to
02:53the park and practice.
02:56You got to listen to other baseball players, how did they make it, what did they do to
03:01make it.
03:02You got to watch different techniques, when everybody on television is watching, did he
03:07hit the ball, did he not hit the ball, you got to notice the techniques that they use.
03:12Almost like Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali wasn't just a boxer, he had a craft, he would tell
03:18you what he's going to do and how he's going to do it, and he would practice to do that.
03:22Just like Rocky, Rocky would practice, you got to eat and drink your bowl man, the reason
03:29why is because there's so many things around you, but we're talking about inside you, there's
03:34so many things inside you that will kind of force you not to go as far as you want to go.
03:42First of all, you can see somebody doing something better than you, and you can get a little
03:46bit intimidated.
03:50You can be one of a hundred and not feel like you're going to be recognized.
03:59You have to, you got to deal with haters man, and when you have a dream or something
04:05like that, and you tell somebody your dream, that they don't encourage it, they might discourage
04:11you, and any kind of discouragement can be a mental block for you.
04:22You have to be willing to maybe give up a few things in order to get some more things.
04:28Nobody can hold on to everything at the same time, and sometimes during your journey, well
04:40not sometimes, a lot of times during your journey, you're not going to have a lot of
04:44people on the same page with you, why?
04:48Because maybe they don't have any dreams for themselves.
04:53Maybe they don't want to see you do well, maybe they're competing against you, maybe
04:57they had the same dream, but it didn't work out for them, and they don't want to see it
05:00work out for you.
05:03So all these things you have to keep in mind, so when you're going on the road to success,
05:08you don't be sideswiped by different things that are going to happen.
05:14Externally man, a whole lot of different things can happen externally.
05:18Externally, maybe the opportunity is not available, externally, maybe you're motivated but you
05:25don't have a place to go, externally, let me see, I'm just looking around the environment,
05:37sorry about that, it's a little hard to complicate, to focus on the words, look at the environment,
05:44and if I would've been here for a while, then I would've been able to talk a lot easier,
05:49especially if I can walk around, but in this particular app, you can only sit down, so
05:54it's kind of hard just to sit down, and just to talk about things, plus I don't have a
06:00book or manual that I can read from, so let me just tell you this, externally, let's talk
06:06about internally and externally, what if you're a multi-million dollar business, oh you know
06:13what else too, I'm going to talk about the multi-million dollar thing too, but let's
06:18talk about that thing, you got the fear of failure, and you have the fear of success,
06:26sometimes the fear of failure, that you can't do it, you can't make it, so why even try
06:33to get there, and sometimes the fear of success is like, okay, I'm already on top, now what
06:38do I do, it's almost like a writer's block, now that I'm here, I don't have any new ideas
06:44and I have everybody depending on me, that's a big thing too man, because being successful
06:51in anything means you're possibly going to be a leader in that area, that's what success
06:56is, you're a leader in that particular area, you'll be successful in baseball, or basketball,
07:01or boxing, and people are going to watch you all the time, and when you get ready to shoot
07:05a hoop, or hit the ball, or box someone, they're going to be expecting you to win, that's a
07:11lot of pressure on people man, and you never know inside of a person, what it takes to
07:16build their confidence, and if you don't think, you know what I heard somebody say, I heard
07:22somebody say it with two tennis players, if you have two tennis players with the same
07:25amount of skill, but one doesn't think they're going to win, and the other one thinks they're
07:30all going to win, then the one that thinks they're all going to win is probably going
07:33to beat the other one, even though they have the same skills, you can be a giant, right,
07:40and you can be facing a midget, and if the midget is more aggressive than the giant,
07:45the midget might fight the giant man, you have to believe in yourself man, you have
07:51to believe that you can do whatever it is you want to do, and that the way that you
07:57do that, for me specifically, you know I hate to push things, but I got to tell you what
08:03my sources are, I don't have too many friends to talk to, and really nobody to motivate
08:09me, and when I look around, there's nobody around in my arena that can really give me
08:16any advice man, because a lot of people are stuck in one area, and they're not trying
08:21to do anything else, I know a bunch of people that own stores, right, because all I do right
08:26now is connect with people that own properties, stores, supervisors, managers, stuff like
08:31that, I don't really associate too much with the average person too much, and I can see
08:36some people that have stores, they're not thinking about building their store even better,
08:40they're not thinking about certain products, let's say you have a store, this is what I
08:44would do exactly, if I wanted to be successful in having a store, first of all, I'd see what's
08:50popular, in my store, I make sure that I have a team of people that are on the same page
08:56as me, I don't have time to have somebody that has a question mark, if I got a question
09:01mark, are they on my side, are they not on my side, can I trust them, can I not trust
09:07them, I need loyalty, you got to have loyalty when you're building a team, you got to make
09:10sure that you can count on everybody, everybody's on the same page, you got to also be able
09:15to offer friends benefits, if you got somebody on your team, let them know what they're going
09:20to get out of it, don't let them think that they're working hard for you to become a billionaire,
09:24a billionaire, let them know that when I make it, you're going to make it, so every time
09:29this happens, this is going to happen for you, every time this happens, this is going
09:32to happen for you, we're going to work it together, we're going to do this together,
09:37also you got to read up on your craft man, some people want to be successful without
09:41doing the studying, you got to study man, you got to study your craft, like let's say
09:46me for instance, right, the reason why I'm posting today is because I know tomorrow is
09:50going to be better, not necessarily tomorrow, tomorrow, but the day after today, and the
09:56day after that, and the day after that, somewhere down the line, I'm going to get more skills,
09:59because I know the technique now, I do virtual reality, and I do alternate space,
10:07you know, I do engage, right, I'm not promoting anything, but I got to tell you what I do,
10:11and then how I do it, and engage, I'm pretty darn good, I mastered it, why, because they
10:17have classes, I go to the classes constantly, why, because when the classes are over,
10:25actually I record it, right, I don't post it, I record it, and I study what I learned,
10:30when I have questions, I ask the instructors, and there's no question that I have that I'm
10:36afraid to ask, even if it's in front of a classroom, and if you're trying to be successful,
10:41you got to ask questions man, you don't know all the answers, the more questions that you ask,
10:46the more answers you get, the more real it becomes to you, because you can understand
10:51how it works, you go, oh, so that's how it operates, oh, so that's how I can do it,
10:57oh, and all the information you have, when you practice, and whatever your skill is,
11:02or whatever your activity is, or whatever it is you're trying to be successful with,
11:06now you have another idea of how to avoid a roadblock, then you hang out with people that
11:13are doing what you want to do, that's really important too, and it's best to hang out with
11:18people that will share the information with you, but for people who don't share the information,
11:23and you can't talk to, you can watch how they operate, you can listen how they talk,
11:29and you can follow their habits, and I'm just going to tell you now, my road to success,
11:36I've been blocked by several apps that I've been working with, but as you can see, I'm here right
11:41now, I've been blocked, I've had my Oculus, because you got to use Oculus for this particular thing,
11:48shut down completely, you got to be able to invest in what you believe in, let's say the
11:52Oculus for instance, virtual reality, if I want to do virtual reality, I got to pay for the Oculus,
11:58that's an investment, I got to pay for the online service, that's an investment, I got to go to the
12:04classes, I got to interact with people, you have to do, you have to live, and eat, and drink, your goals man,
12:12there's no way to do it, you can't snap your finger and wish to be successful, you have to take advice
12:21from successful people, and you have to do research on your own, it's a great feeling to be successful
12:27man, because it builds up your self-confidence, and it definitely builds up your income,
12:33no matter what you're successful in, it makes money, that's why you want to do it,
12:37if you're a writer, it's good sometimes, and then whatever it is that you're doing, sometimes,
12:44once in a blue moon, you have to take a break from this school, whatever it is that you're doing,
12:50you got to take a break, and look at the world, you see how the world operates, sometimes you can
12:55be so stuck in your own thing, like let's say for instance, you have an old-time shoemaker, all he
13:01does is make shoes, 24 hours is making shoes, making shoes, making shoes, making shoes, okay, excellent,
13:08he's good at making that particular shoe, it's good to step out of your store, walk around,
13:13going to other stores, look at other people's feet, sometimes it's good to take a little picnic
13:18like this, a little vacation, and just empty your mind, and get right back into your craft again,
13:25and you'll be hungry, you can't, it's like a person, you can't keep eating 24-7, man,
13:31you got to eat, and let the food digest, and when you take a break, it's like letting the food digest,
13:40what else can I say about success, man,
13:44oh, don't be a hater, man, if you see other people make it, it doesn't mean you can't make it,
13:51it means that success is still available, man, people have become successful before I was born,
13:58while I'm alive, and when I'm dead, there's always room for success in whatever trade you're trying
14:05to do, you got to believe in yourself, the bible says that your gifts will make way for you,
14:11that means that if you have a particular skill somewhere, even if nobody noticed it,
14:15you keep practicing it, after a while, somebody will notice it,
14:20believe in yourself, man, believe in yourself by listening to and reading positive information,
14:28read about people that had struggles, read about people that went through, um,
14:35what, read about people that had to climb mountains like this,
14:41and what they went through mentally to get there, another thing that people don't talk about so much
14:49is that on the road to success, sometimes you might have a physical ailment,
14:55physical ailment can knock you back a couple of loops, you can think you're superman because you
14:59accomplish some stuff, then all of a sudden, you get a toothache, all of a sudden, you might find
15:07out that you have cancer, all of a sudden, you might lose somebody that you love in your family,
15:13that might knock the momentum down, now, all of these are real, and all of these will affect you,
15:22and all of these, if you're a human being, they will affect you, but you know how you have to
15:26look at it, you have to absorb it for a moment, and then say, it's just another challenge on
15:32the road to success, man, um, if you're a multi-million dollar, um, business person,
15:42and you have maybe thousands of people working for you,
15:47and they're relying on their judgment, what you do, um, the decisions that you make
15:56can affect all your employees and their families, and their families, man,
16:01people come in the day, coming to work every day, to work nine to five, to get their paycheck every
16:07week, every two weeks, or whenever they get it, and that's coming from you, they don't even see
16:12you sometimes when you make it that big, and if something happens to you, let's say, for instance,
16:17that, um, let's say, for instance, you have a tv show, you're the main character of the tv show,
16:23right, you're successful, everybody's watching tv show, then all of a sudden, you say something,
16:29or do something outside the tv show, gets into the newspaper, and now the production people don't
16:35want to have you anymore, now what happens, now, not only do you get fired, but now you made a
16:43difference in the cast, the show might not go on if they can't replace you, so you gotta remember
16:49that when you're successful, other people rely on your success, and just like I told you,
16:55I've been watching people and listening to people, if they didn't make it to where they were,
17:00then I wouldn't be able to get that information, so I just had a little bit of a situation,
17:08I was in, um, off space, and I was posting in off space, and, um, I put some of the things that I
17:15believe in, and all was, all of them was positive, nothing was negative at all, and some kind of way,
17:19I went there, and I found out, boom, I'm not in off space anymore, I do a lot of off space videos,
17:26so that kind of affects me a little bit, right, so I'm already used to having setbacks now,
17:33so what do you do, you say, okay, let me try another platform, right, I still have other
17:39platforms that I use, right, and also, um, with the VR, what's a little bit different from other things,
17:46is that, um, you gotta have more than one app, if you have more than one app, and something happens
17:52to one app, you can use another app and do recordings, so let's say, hypothetically speaking,
17:57I had an app called Bubbles, right, I don't even want to say Bubbles, let's say I had an app called App,
18:05right, and I was using App One, right, and if something happened to App One, I have nothing
18:11anymore, nowhere to go, no, you have to have App One, App Two, App Three, App Four, you have to
18:18chug them constantly, you have to keep working on all of them, that way, if something happens to one,
18:23you see, I always got two or three more things, you gotta stay positive, man, the way that you stay
18:29positive in a negative world, is you do something positive that you feel good about, even if nobody
18:34else knows about it, you know it, right, sometimes positive is just getting up, getting up in the
18:39morning and exercising, you go, wow, at least I got that done, if you have plans, I want to read a book,
18:47I have an appointment, you have to do your appointment and read the book, right, if you have
18:53apps that, I'm sorry about that, if you have a thing where you're on a diet and you follow your diet,
19:02right, then you feel good about yourself, you have to do things that you feel good about yourself
19:07every little step that you take to make you feel good about yourself, whether somebody sees it or not,
19:12builds confidence, don't worry about what other people think when you're on the road to success,
19:18to a certain degree, man, you can't say don't worry at all, because those are going to be your
19:23customers and your fans or something like that, so you have to listen, but if you have a burning
19:27desire to do something that you feel good about and it's not hurting anybody, then you do it, man,
19:33you don't listen to the negative voices, you listen to the positive voices and when you have
19:37no voices around, you always have books, you have YouTube, you have Google, you always have
19:44information online that you can get hope from. Today, I listened to Robert Shuler,
19:52I listened to T.D. Jakes and I listened to Dale Carnegie, How to Think and Grow Rich
20:00and also How to Win Friends and Influence People, so these guys right here tell you about the
20:05struggles that they go through, nobody is successful and just makes it over there,
20:10unless you were born into a family, you inherited money and that's not really the normal thing for
20:17everybody and even when you inherited money, sometimes your family members don't want to give
20:22you all the money, because it'll make you lazy, so you have to work for it, it's not the normal
20:29working, man. I heard somebody once say that it's not about getting there, it's about the journey,
20:37man, then I was listening to, I don't know if it was Twilight Zone or One Step Beyond
20:44and somebody said that if they can go back in time, right, they were already successful,
20:50they said if they can go back in time to the journey, they'd like to take the journey again,
20:55instead of being successful, it's the journey, man, it's like it's not Christmas Day when you
21:02get the present, the excitement actually happens on Christmas Eve or the day before,
21:09when you're thinking about what the gift you're going to get somebody, where you're going to shop
21:13and get it from, how they're going to feel when they get it, wrapping it up and boom, you hit the
21:19goal, it's under the Christmas tree, all they have to do is wake up in the morning, that's why somebody
21:25said, open up my gift, open up my gift, I want you to see my gift, because they wanted to see
21:31all the care and concern that they put into bringing this product, they made it, they had a
21:37goal, they had a goal, it was, they thought you'd like something, they picked it up for you, they
21:43wrapped it up and they got it under the tree, it's a different thing too, that when you get the gift
21:48and there's nothing to say about it, when you give somebody the gift the day after Christmas, it
21:52doesn't have the same effect as giving it the same day, because you missed the goal,
21:57the goal is Christmas, the goal isn't that they got a gift, the goal is they got a gift on that
22:02time, at that time, so you got to stick to your goal, success has never been easy, there's so
22:08many books out there, that if you go to a library or you go to a bookstore and you look for success,
22:14so many different roads, I'm just telling you one road, there's many different roads to success,
22:20but the thing that I realized about success is that your confidence can be knocked down,
22:26not so much by haters and haters can do it too, that's why you can't tell all of your ideas to
22:32everybody, you tell all the ideas to everybody, a bunch of things can happen, boom, they can downplay
22:40it and when they downplay it, put a dull shade on it and then all of a sudden you are super happy,
22:45oh I got an idea, I'm going to put this and after they, you listen to them,
22:49then all of a sudden you're not super happy anymore and you don't even believe it can
22:52happen and sometime you let it go man, I heard Les Brown, oh Les Brown is definitely another
22:58motivational speaker that I listen to, I heard Les Brown said, you know how many people died
23:04and are not here and they had dreams that they could have shared with the world,
23:10but they didn't get a chance to share it, how about Martin Luther King,
23:15you see how many obstacles Martin Luther King had to go through in order for him to get the
23:19Nobel Peace Prize, in order for him to get to be able to have um African Americans sit on a
23:25on a bus like a regular person, he had death threats, they bombed his house,
23:33they actually um physically hurt him before they actually assassinated him,
23:38right, so um there's a lot of things depending on what your goal is
23:43and the obstacles in the way man, you got to be determined, you know what it is to get up every
23:48morning, let's say you Martin Luther King, you're getting up every morning after your house has
23:52already been bombed, you have to, you already had a death threat, they said don't show your face
23:57around here and you're getting ready to go right into that area that they say don't show your face
24:04around and when you get there, you see the haters, the protesters, that's the difference between the
24:11haters today and the haters over there, some of the haters with the signs protesting that you can
24:15see with angry faces, you can't see it um with your with your eyes, but they're out there man,
24:23but just imagine that you have to still keep pushing through because people are getting up
24:28saying you know Martin Luther King, what should we do, what should we do Martin Luther King, what
24:32we're following you, if you can, if you um there's a thing that if you smite the shepherd, the sheep
24:39will scatter man and that's what they were doing and for a while the sheep scatters man,
24:44you're the shepherd of your dream, nobody knows your dream and can fill your dream the way you
24:51can fill it, you know what I used to um hear about an Amway, Amway said that when I was an Amway
24:56that if you had a dream about getting a car, something like that, I love Amway buddy, let me
25:01say that, they had a that if you had a dream about getting a car, you put the picture of the car
25:08on your refrigerator and you put the picture of the car in the mirror or wherever you can see it
25:13every day, so every day you remember this is the car you want, now that's the physical thing,
25:18I mean that's like a visual thing, the other thing is they said go down to the car dealer,
25:23look at the car, back then you could do a test run, I don't know if you do a test run now,
25:28but at least you can get into the car, you can have the um the salesperson explain to you
25:33how it operates, the luxuries in it and once you get into the car, close the door, sit down behind
25:40the wheel and uh put your hands on the steering wheel and just imagine yourself driving, look how
25:47close you are to your dream, another thing is that you have to be able to save money,
25:53nobody's successful without saving and paying bills, you got to pay your bills on time
25:58because no matter how much money you have, if you have bills to pay, you really don't have that money
26:03because that money goes there and you want to be debt-free when you get there man,
26:07a lot of famous people have been um taken down from their throne because they didn't pay the taxes
26:15and that's a bill that you have to pay man, a lot of famous people have been slandered
26:19because they didn't pay the hotel bill or they damaged something or they owe the money to
26:25employees man, you got to be a role model to be successful man, there's a lot of characteristics
26:33that you have to build or that you have to work on to be successful, you have to
26:39build a character, you have to say something like okay, this is what I want my success to be,
26:44I don't just want millions, I want to have millions, I want to be a role model,
26:50I want to be a leader, I want to have a good team, I want to be knowledgeable,
26:56I want to be focused and I don't want any distractions.
27:02Sometimes being alone is the best thing you could be man,
27:05when you be alone, you can be yourself 100% without having to worry about ridicule,
27:11sometimes when you hang out with a group of people and you get ready to make an idea,
27:14they go oh no, I don't think this, I don't think that, the numbers can, it's like a scale,
27:20too many numbers can lean you over to the left too much or to the right too much and if you're
27:26driving a car and you got to drive straight, you don't need to go to the left or the right
27:31sometimes, sometimes the road that you need to go is a straight road. So I just wanted to tell
27:36you, it's not just so much for you, it's for me also, to remember that, stay focused, believe in
27:44yourself, take care of your health man, you don't want to get to the top and find out that you didn't
27:48take care of A, B and C and now you can't even enjoy the fruits of your labor because you're
27:54physically messed up, stay motivated by constantly, constantly listening to positive things every day,
28:02the world we live in today is very negative man, let me just tell you this, you see the environment
28:08I'm in right now, see the water, see the ram over there, see the trees in the mountain,
28:17the sky and the rainbow, see this area, it's beautiful, beautiful,
28:28where do I really live, I live in the blocks, the west side with almost the south side,
28:35there's crimes every day in my neighborhood man, I know I've been part of, I've been part of crimes
28:42and I know my friends that own stores have been part of crimes,
28:46one of my friends is in, was on YouTube in the news because they shot up in the store,
28:53they killed somebody, another one of my friends, that's Sammy right, that's on Burnside,
28:59another one of my friends near Fordham, a manager of a chicken spot, showed me a video where a lady
29:08got killed right outside of the store, right on my corner, somebody broke the glass to the display
29:14thing that when you're looking out, when the guy's behind the counter and you look under the display
29:20thing, you see the glass where he has a lot of insurers, a lot of food thing, they smashed the
29:25glass over there, okay, another one of my friends had a store, maybe a block down, he got stabbed
29:32right in my neighborhood, everybody's smoking weed and everybody's drinking and you got a
29:38bunch of homeless people that live right outside the liquor store and for some reason they want
29:43to hang around the grocery store all the time and I know people, I know people personally
29:49that for years, I can go back five years, they've been asking for money, you got a dollar,
29:54you got a dollar, you got a dollar, you got a quarter, the same people for five years brother,
30:01so what do I have to do? I come here, this is recharging, I come here to relax,
30:10I come here to get away from the places that I don't need to see man,
30:15I don't need to keep seeing negativity every single day when I'm trying to build something
30:19positive, it's like a person that goes to church, you can't go to church just every Sunday or
30:25Saturday and you have five other days that are negative man, whatever you're doing, you got to
30:32keep doing constantly until you master it man, what my plan is eventually is to keep working
30:40hard and get out of this neighborhood so maybe I can live in a place like this man, in an area like
30:45this, so also you got to know why you're being successful, don't be successful just to beat
30:54somebody off, be successful because you have your own paradise in your mind and you want to go to
31:01that paradise, you want to be a part of that paradise, don't take it too hard when you get
31:07roadblocks, expect roadblocks right, expect to have obstacles in your way man, you're not just
31:16going to want the success, it's not going to happen like that, you're going to have obstacles but be
31:21prepared, always have in the back of your mind that you overcame one obstacle, this is just another, you
31:28overcame another obstacle, this is another and just remember this too man, one obstacle is only one
31:35obstacle, your mind can calculate a bunch of detours when there's only one obstacle, if you're going down
31:43a road called Hancock street or you're going down a road called Harrison street and then you can't get
31:49down that road because the ambulance are down there, the police are down there or they're doing
31:54construction, what does that mean, you don't get to your destination, of course you can get to your
31:58destination, it might be a little bit longer, a little more difficult but you can still get there
32:04and when you get there, you'll be able to say hey, I'm here anyway and that's how you got to do it man,
32:10when you overcome an obstacle, you give yourself credit and say hey, I made it over here anyway, I'm
32:15still doing this anyway, so let's say for me for instance, when I saw the obstacle
32:21walking in space, what did I say, I said hey, let me do this V tunnel, I feel like talking about it,
32:28I don't want to hold it in to, I don't want to hold it in to let it manifest and spoil my day
32:36and just remember this man, it's a good thing to go to sleep with a plan and wake up with
32:43determination, never go to sleep with a problem because you'll toss and turn, you don't want the
32:51morning to come, when you finally get up in the morning, you tread the morning, no, you have an
32:57obstacle, you have an idea, when you have an idea, you wake up in the morning and you want to put it
33:03into action right away, right away because you want to get the results right away, like I'm
33:08getting the results right now, I can actually stay over here man, you know alternate spaces are a heck
33:14of a thing man, almost everywhere I go, I can almost stay there for a while and just relax,
33:21I wish I can walk around over here, I hope they upgrade it so you can walk around here,
33:25I love to walk around over here man, look at the water, very beautiful man,
33:32I don't see too many people using this app
33:37because I don't know, maybe too many people don't like to chat so closely because look how close you
33:42are, you're right up on somebody man, that's not how you make friends, you can make friends by walking
33:47around and talking while you're walking around but just sitting over here, almost like an interrogation,
33:53like an interview, like you're under the pressure or something like that, even if I had a girlfriend
33:59and I was talking to her, I wouldn't want to just talk to her right on the rock, so I use this app
34:04specifically to tell you what's on my mind and how I feel about life, yeah and just to take it easy man,
34:15but that's what we're going to do for a second, I'm going to let you absorb the environment
34:30so
34:40sometimes in life
34:44you gotta take time to smell the flowers man,
34:52I used to go to people's homes when I was younger, they had a lot of um expensive um
35:02dishes placed in a cabinet with a glass on it like a display
35:11and you never get a chance to use it man, it's just there for display
35:16or I remember when I used to work two jobs, like that was a big thing there, back and forth, back
35:22and forth, going to the house, sleeping, going back to work, sleeping, traveling, sleeping, back and forth,
35:29and I never got a chance to sit on my couch and lay down on my couch and enjoy my couch,
35:35so I sit on my couch, I sit on the floor, whatever I have in the house, I'll enjoy it man,
35:43enjoy it man, that way you know you're working for something, don't just work
35:48to accumulate things that you never get a chance to enjoy, you gotta take time out man,
35:56it's a lot to being successful man, but I tell you this,
35:59the more you hang around successful people, the more successful you'll be,
36:03and I'll give you another example too, I worked as a CNA for 20 years,
36:08CNA's do a lot of good work to help people man, however, the environment I was in was always negative,
36:14negative, negative, negative, negative, nobody really trying to get any place,
36:19because people are glad that they got the job at CNA, then I worked as a job, I worked on a job
36:27in Bellevue Hospital for a while, and let me tell you buddy, it was a completely different environment,
36:32and let me tell you buddy, it was a completely different environment,
36:36all the workers in there were in college, were planning on being doctors,
36:44I was super motivated there man, the money was different, the benefits was different,
36:50but the motivation was really good man, because while I was working at one spot,
36:55and nobody really cared about it, and everybody was trying to, they couldn't wait to get off,
36:59this other one, you could feel the energy of ideas, and let me just tell you this man,
37:05if you're in an environment, or you're hanging around people, and you don't feel good, and you
37:11feel negativity, that's not the place for you man, you can't recharge your batteries in a negative
37:16area, you have to be around positive people, and positive environments, for you to be able to
37:22recharge your battery, I don't even think you can get healed physically, if you're hanging around
37:27negative people man, something about negativity, it puts a little dent in your face, and you become,
37:34you don't see it, but you frown a little bit, and then the more negativity, your face starts to frown
37:39constantly, and I always said when I was younger, that I wanted my face to look happy, when I get
37:44older, and even if I'm not making a face, and someone looks at me, I look happy man, another
37:50thing is, don't be a liar, when you're successful, when you're on the road to success, be an honest
37:55person, liars will always get caught, there's so many different roadblocks man, you got roadblocks
38:00of people that are successful, and they, like let's say guys for instance, and all they do is look at that
38:06women, women, women, well I can tell right off the bat man, they're not going to go too far,
38:10because look at the distraction, right, you got people that are, that have businesses, and they're
38:16liars, you can't trust them man, let me tell you, a liar is not a good business person, for no reason
38:23you should lie, you should always tell the truth man, so people can trust you, at least they might
38:27say things about you, but at least they won't say you're a liar man, a liar is right next to a thief,
38:32if you're a liar, you're a thief too, right, because you're dishonest man, all of my success, you know,
38:39and this might be a little different for everybody, but I gotta be honest with you, you gotta be honest
38:43now, it comes from God man, and this is how it works man, I trust in God, and even though I don't
38:52want to see what my next step is, look at this man, he's God of all things man, he'll guide my steps,
39:01all I gotta do is trust in him, and doors will open, you'll get favor with people man,
39:07you get favor, people say, you know, you know what, I like you man, and, and not only that,
39:12you gotta learn how to network man, network with people, you can't do it alone, find the right
39:17people, find people that are still hungry, and that you get good energy from, and see if maybe
39:23you can ask them questions about their job, and that's how you start, you go, wow man, you look
39:28like you're doing pretty good over there, you know, every time I see you, you're doing A, B, and C,
39:33okay, you make them feel good, they know now that they can put their guard down, right, you say, no,
39:39I like to be able to do something like this, and that's how you can hit them off,
39:42you can say, let's say you were on an interview, right, and then you ask them all the questions
39:49that you want to ask them, that you can learn from, and they wouldn't mind doing it, because
39:54they'd like to feel like they're on an interview, and that they're important,
39:57you say, how long did it take you to build this, what were your obstacles, right, sometimes people
40:03want to share this information, there's nobody around to share the information with,
40:07you say, if I wanted to start, what would you suggest that I do,
40:12even before that, you can say, is there any way that I can help you, because I want to start
40:17doing something myself, and I don't mind learning from you, and helping you to get your thing,
40:23maybe I might get lucky, and I might get something too, right, but I'd like to learn a little bit
40:29more about you, every time you see them, say hi, say good luck, say you're doing a good job,
40:35congratulations, you're one of my heroes, you boost them up, man, you don't want to be the
40:40type of person that when you come around somebody, oh no, here comes that person again,
40:45you want to be the type of person that when you come around, they go, yo, I'm glad he's over here,
40:51I get good vibes, I know I'm going to get a compliment, I know that something's going to
40:55happen, I know that when he leaves out of here, I'm going to feel good about myself,
41:00you want to have people around you to make you feel good about yourself,
41:04and if you can't find people to do that for you, do that for somebody else, right, now,
41:11don't be, um, dismayed that if you give somebody a hundred million compliments,
41:16they won't even give you one, right, these are the people you really don't need to be around,
41:21buddy, because if you give somebody a hundred compliments, right, and you're wearing a beautiful
41:25sweater, brand new sweater, you come around them, and they can't say that you have a beautiful
41:30sweater, or you look nice too, that's a sign, a certain sign that you have haters around you,
41:36haters around you, when you tell them your ideas, they don't have any comment, or they throw shade
41:41on you, haters around you, that when you tell them something, they act like they got other
41:45things that are important, they look around, they never give you any information that will help you,
41:50the reason why I used to be able to tell, um, that if I have good people in my life,
41:56is do you add to my life, or do you subtract from my life, when I'm around you, do you say like,
42:04hey, you want something to eat, you want a soda, you look nice, or is there anything I can do to
42:09help you, or something positive, I hope you're having a great day, something like that, positive,
42:15negative things is probably nothing at all, it's empty, you get nothing from it, you're just there
42:22in their world, they're not part of your world, and you gotta remember man, this world is big,
42:28everybody has their own world in their mind, you have your version of your world, don't spend your
42:33time working on their, their dreams, and you're not doing your dreams, and it goes like this man,
42:39if you come to a business, and you start working in the business, right, from a low person,
42:44right, let's say you're the low entry level, right, don't forget there's a board,
42:49somebody's in charge of that place man, you might never see them, all you see is the supervisor,
42:53manager, but there's somebody above them, and somebody above them, that had a dream and started
42:57it, you come over there, you start working hard, you learn your craft man, you learn your craft,
43:03and you help other people, and that's how, you know, that's the secret too, helping other people
43:09to get to their goals, can help you to get to your goals, right, now let's say for instance,
43:15boom, you put all that work and energy, bam, and you got fired, incredible, what do you do now?
43:22And let me tell you man, if you're working on the job, try to stay there as long as you can,
43:27unless you have another opportunity, because once your income is gone, that's your livelihood,
43:34that's bills, that's dreams, I remember one time, I got fired from a stock market,
43:40I used to work in a stock market, and then it was like on a Thursday,
43:44and normally I was young, I used to hang out at the clubs on Friday and Saturday,
43:49I walked around, I said, oh my gosh, I have no, and then you gotta, that's why you gotta say it
43:55man, I have nothing, if you live it from paycheck to paycheck, and you, and you get fired buddy,
44:02that's a heck of a thing, my friend, if you, if you manage to save money and your bills are paid
44:08up, right, and you save money, and something happens to your job, at least you have the time
44:14and you can breathe a little bit before you make it, you make your next move, all right, so um,
44:22as ideas come to me, I'll let you know, like I said, I don't know everything man,
44:28you know what I'm saying, I'm not like a, in a newspaper, on television or anything, I'm just a
44:32guy on the road to where I'm on the road to, and um, I keep this as a little diary for myself,
44:39and maybe a little information for you, to let you know the bottom line is this man,
44:44the road to success is not going to be easy, there's going to be obstacles,
44:50you gotta prepare yourself for the obstacles, sometimes it's good to say,
44:53what can happen down this road, okay, this can happen possibly, this can happen possibly,
44:59this can happen, you know a motivational movie, you can get a chance to see, see Rudy, Rudy is a
45:04motivational movie man, excellent movie, about a kid who's trying to make it to the Northern Game
45:09football game, right, so you gotta say, what can happen here, what can happen here, and before it
45:14even happens, you already plan a strategy for it, so when it does happen, boom, you can take right
45:20off, I knew that was going to happen, aid being sick, and um, what else, enjoy your little
45:28accomplishments, right, the little things that you do are valuable too, you don't have to have those,
45:34be good to people, be honest, work hard, stay focused, and um, I gotta tell you this man,
45:43if you're drinking, smoking, marijuana, medical marijuana, whatever the heck it is,
45:51you might want to decrease that man, because sometimes that clouds your judgment,
45:56and you don't want to become dependent on something man,
46:00being dependent on anything besides your goal is another obstacle and distraction,
46:05from what I've seen in life, um, um, sex is an obstacle, alcohol is an obstacle,
46:13drugs is an obstacle, dishonesty is an obstacle, and um, and uh, what else,
46:22those are four big things man, sex, drugs, alcohol, and you also have to have willpower,
46:32and determination, and stay focused man, those are some of the um, things that if you start
46:38working on that, you get other things later on, everybody's road to success is different,
46:44you have to adjust it to what's comfortable for you,
46:49some of these things I told you might work for you, hopefully they will, they're working for me,
46:54and also take a break from life, reward yourself man, right, give yourself little rewards to say
47:01well, I'm going to buy myself this, because I got that, and you can also do it like this,
47:07you can say when I do accomplish this, I'm going to get this, this is not just a gift for me,
47:14this is a um, this is a bookmark, this is um, this is a landmark for me, this right here
47:22doesn't represent what it represents for everybody else, this represents a goal that I accomplished,
47:29when I was younger, I used to go to, I got like maybe 12 different certificates and stuff like
47:34that, my goal was every time I took a class, I want a certificate, I want a certificate,
47:38I want a certificate, I took a class, say can I get a certificate, I want a certificate,
47:41so I can see my achievements, and now when I'm a little bit older, I got a bunch of achievements,
47:47it doesn't mean that my road to success has ended, you know, I got a bunch of other goals too,
47:52writing a book, I got a good toy at the house, I haven't really learned how to play that,
47:56I got a keyboard, I haven't really learned how to play that, I haven't done everything I want to do
48:00in alternate space, so it's a lot of things man, but it's still out there, always have a bunch of goals,
48:06and that you're working on simultaneously, because if you're working on one goal and
48:10something doesn't happen, or something fails, at least you got two or three others that are doing good,
48:16so I hope this has been helpful to you, and I wish you success, I really do, I wish you success,
48:25you know, why, because I like to see beautiful things, I like to see people make it man,
48:32I like, I gotta be honest with you, I like to see people make it, who worked hard to get there,
48:37and who are good people, I like to see good people make it man, you know, the more good people make it,
48:43the more the world has a foundation of good people, that I can rely on as a resource for myself man,
48:57you know what I really need for this thing, I need, you can't have like a regular chair,
49:01you can have a swivel chair, and I get a swivel chair, because if I look too far,
49:06up or down, or anything like that, I won't be able to see the environment,
49:11but it's definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, I hope that next time I can walk over here,
49:18I would love to walk over here, I probably have a lot more things to talk about if I can walk,
49:23but thanks for watching, stay positive, and follow your dreams man, follow your dreams,
49:30don't put 25% on your dream, put a lot on your dream, it gives you a reason to wake up in the
49:36morning time, if you don't have a reason to wake up in the morning time, right, the negativity will
49:41grab you, and you'll start to go where the wind shift you from the left to right man, when you
49:46really don't have a purpose to wake up in the morning, people might contemplate suicide, well
49:51why am I here, I can't wait to leave the planet, because what, you don't have a goal man, when you
49:57have a goal, you can help other people man, and you can see the joy in their faces when you help
50:02other people, you know, and if you have information, share it man, you know, you never know when it's
50:08coming back to you, sometimes you have to hit a thousand people to get one positive one, but
50:13you keep that in your mind, so if you hit one or two and nothing happens man, remember it's not one
50:19or two, it's the numbers man, you have to hit a hundred, you have to hit a thousand, if you're
50:24getting subscribers on YouTube, you might have to hit, you might have to put out a thousand videos
50:30just to get five subscribers man, or know where to go, sometimes a good thing to know exactly where
50:37to go, to get what you want to get, if you're trying to get um, if you're trying to get fish,
50:46you wouldn't go in the mountains looking for fish, you have to go in the water looking for fish,
50:52so you gotta know where to fish sometimes, so thanks a lot, have a great day, and stay positive,
50:59and uh, thanks for this software, like I was talking to you about, if it wasn't for VTime,
51:07um, and the person that had the dream about VTime, I wouldn't be over here right now,
51:16so every dream is connected to somebody else's dream,
51:20yeah, if it wasn't for somebody doing YouTube, there wouldn't be so many millionaires out there
51:26making money on YouTube, if it wasn't for Bill Gates buddy, Bill Gates with Microsoft,
51:34the world would be completely different, Bill Gates was like a, um, Thomas Edison,
51:39you know, and you don't even hear too much about him anymore, but they're using his products constantly,
51:47you know, so um, stay strong, God bless, and um, it'd be nice to hear some of your
51:54successful stories, or any struggles that you're going through, because whatever you write down in
51:58the comments, somebody else will be able to read, it's not just for me to look at, somebody else
52:03will be able to read, make a comment on it, you know, plus when you put all the comments together,
52:10that's like a little successful summary right there, you know, so thanks a lot again guys,
52:16have a great day.
