I said for years that that you have to
0:11
celebrate your victories and really
0:13
celebrate your mistakes and what I mean
0:15
by that is that you have to learn from
0:18
the mistakes that you make and you’ve
0:19
got to create an environment where
0:21
people are not afraid to take a risk and
0:24
not afraid to do things that are beyond
0:26
what the expectations are at the same
0:29
time you got to set up a framework for
0:31
how those things are managed and judge
0:34
and evaluate mistakes are good things
0:40
mistakes are good things meaning if
0:42
they’re made in learning in other words
0:44
so mistakes are how we learn because
0:49
mistakes produce pain and if you produce
0:52
that and convert that to learning like
0:55
for example punishing people from the
0:57
stains is bad because they hide things
1:00
where if you were to say to your kid and
1:03
they make some a mistake the only thing
1:06
you have to do was tell me what would
1:07
you have done different in the future
1:09
and then we’ll be good that it learns
1:12
makes that a learning process or
1:14
weaknesses everybody has a weaknesses
1:16
has number of weaknesses the great
1:18
people that I’ve seen in almost any area
1:21
always have weaknesses they just have
1:24
known what their weaknesses out of our
1:26
and have ways of getting around
1:39
you should seek this see if you’re
1:44
playing it safe you’re not going to win
1:46
if you’re playing it safe like that will
1:51
say you know you were cutting your
1:52
little girl better to be safe than sorry
1:54
well that’s a bunch of crap it’s not
1:56
better to be safe than sorry it’s by
2:00
trying things that you figure out how
2:02
far you can go you got to get outside
2:05
the box like it’s reported Edison tried
2:09
three thousand ways before he built
2:11
incandescent light he made he said he
2:14
didn’t fail three thousand times he said
2:16
there was three thousand different steps
2:18
to building a life oh well there’s
2:21
different steps to get to where you’re
2:23
going and I really do treat winning and
2:26
losing exactly the same i do not let it
2:29
upset me
2:32
[Music]
2:49
one of the most important sort of
2:52
phrases in my life is you know it’s
2:54
protecting the downside and it should be
2:56
you know one of the most important
2:58
praises letting any different persons
3:00
life so okay we made it be sold move
3:04
from going from music company into
3:07
airline business but you know we said
3:12
myself a condition that I could hand
3:15
that plane back at the end of the first
3:17
12 months if the business if people
3:20
didn’t like our business and so one of
3:23
those important negotiations with Boeing
3:25
was you know we have the right to give
3:28
you that plane back off the 12 months
3:30
and that meant that I knew that you know
3:32
I put my toe in the water I could see
3:33
whether people like like the airlines
3:35
but if it didn’t work out it wasn’t
3:37
going to bring everything else crashing
3:39
down I’d be able to look my record
3:42
company bosses when the iron and we’ll
3:43
still be friends because they’d still
3:45
have jobs and you know so protecting the
3:49
downside
3:56
cool
4:02
[Music]
4:04
patience is for the impatient that in
4:18
fact when you’re getting started in your
4:21
in-laws are making faces at you and
4:23
you’re not sure if you’re going to be
4:24
able to pay the rent and you don’t know
4:25
why you’re living in Brooklyn to begin
4:27
with and you’re going to have to move
4:28
back to Florida it’s easy to say you
4:31
know what I need to go faster to pick up
4:35
these scraps of pick up the scraps and
4:37
sometimes what that does is it gives you
4:39
the foot up to get to the next level but
4:41
sometimes what that does is it just
4:44
makes your scrap collector and that one
4:46
of the things that we see when we look
4:48
at the work of people who have put
4:50
really big ideas in the world who have
4:53
built online platforms right is that
4:57
they got there by being patiently
5:00
impatient or impatiently may search
5:02
everywhere you want to just suppose that
5:04
if you look around at the blogs you read
5:07
or the people you respect online or the
5:09
organization’s you want to work with the
5:12
myth of the overnight success is just
5:14
that a myth that you know the
5:16
much-vaunted Twitter was a failure
5:18
complete failure for two years nobody
5:21
used it and if they took the mindset of
5:25
well if it doesn’t work in two weeks we
5:26
got to go do something else you never
5:28
would have heard of it
5:29
[Music]
5:41
[Music]
5:47
that is that going to happen as quickly
5:55
as you want it to happen a lot of things
5:58
going to happen that will catch you off
5:59
guard and so therefore you’ve got to
6:02
deal with and handle it as it costs and
6:05
not only that but that faith and
6:08
patience drives you into action you got
6:12
to keep moving and keep plugging away
6:14
and the Far East I have something that’s
6:18
called the Chinese bamboo tree the
6:23
Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to
6:25
grow and when they go through a process
6:32
of growing it they have to water and
6:36
fertilize the ground where it is every
6:38
day and it doesn’t break through the
6:42
ground until the fifth year okay but
6:49
once it breaks through the ground within
6:51
five weeks it grows 90 feet tall now the
6:59
question is does it grow 90 feet tall in
7:01
five weeks or five years the answer is
7:06
obvious it grows 90 feet tall in five
7:11
years because at any time and that
7:14
person stopped watering and nurturing
7:17
and fertilizing that dream that bamboo
7:20
tree would have died in the ground how
7:23
long have you been working on your
7:25
dreams good and you have nothing to show
7:27
this is all you’ve got the show
7:29
people go and do that to you and some
7:32
people ladies and gentleman they stopped
7:33
because they don’t see instant results
7:35
it doesn’t happen quickly
7:40
[Music]
7:49
now here’s an important point nothing
7:57
works the first time when you try
7:59
something new it probably won’t work
8:01
when you try something new several times
8:03
it probably won’t work and the turning
8:04
point in my life came when I would hear
8:06
good ideas and I was so eager to be
8:08
successful in selling I would run out
8:09
and try the ideas and they wouldn’t work
8:11
I try a way of getting an appointment or
8:13
answering an objection or closing the
8:15
sale it wouldn’t work and my natural
8:17
response ah and I think just to be
8:20
disappointed and then I realized nothing
8:21
works at least the first few times so I
8:25
decided I would try a new idea 5 or 10
8:27
times before I pass judgment on I would
8:29
not just try it once and quit like most
8:30
people do and that changed my whole life
8:32
it was a turning point of my life
8:34
because I realized from then on if
8:36
you’ve got a good idea and you’ve got a
8:37
good goal and you want to double your
8:38
income and improve the quality of your
8:40
life and you have to try new things in
8:42
order to get new results it’s not going
8:44
to work the first time today well that
8:45
didn’t work try something else to try
8:47
something else and try something else
8:48
now if you try only two things can
8:50
happen what are them succeed or fail if
8:54
you succeed you do more of it if you
8:55
fail you learn from it get smarter and
8:58
try to get to cannot lose by taking
9:00
action you can only lose by not taking
9:02
action
9:03
[Music]
9:04
when we have had failures those have
9:15
ultimately resulted in some of the
9:17
greatest successes we’ve ever had you
9:19
talk about those particularly when
9:21
someone comes to see you and they say
9:23
yeah feel really bad because this didn’t
9:25
work out okay well let me tell you about
9:28
some other things that didn’t work out
9:29
that we learned a lot from and you know
9:33
let’s pick ourselves back up and let’s
9:35
figure out what what we what we learn
9:37
from this and how we go apply that next
9:39
time you know when you’re in the zone of
9:41
doing things that no one’s ever done
9:43
before if you’re only succeeding you’re
9:45
not taking enough words failure is a
9:54
part of the learning process right
9:56
what’s the risk of failure what moving
9:58
embarrassed or risk of joke how do you
10:00
distinguish failure from learning in
10:04
your whole life you know failure implies
10:06
that stopped that’s the game stops right
10:08
if it’s part of a you’re failing and
10:11
then you learn then that learning is
10:14
part of the moving forward right so that
10:18
is what the process is like to fail
10:20
learn move forward and constantly do
10:24
that it to look because you’re cutting
10:25
edge you’re going where people have been
10:28
before and inventiveness
10:32
[Music]
10:40
you know I haven’t have a terrible fear
10:42
that I lay awake at night with Nestle
10:44
fear of failure and embarrassment that
10:47
comes with and so people like to have a
10:49
lot of pride and saying I’m not
10:52
embarrassed and not I think anybody
10:54
that’s an entrepreneur deep down really
10:57
you guys are so has beautiful failure
10:59
what would people say or what would be
11:01
perfect and it’s hard it’s a hard
11:04
challenge and so I try to ignore it as
11:08
much as I can buy I find it kind of
11:11
hunting me and so I pushed through
11:13
because I really believe that I have an
11:16
obligation to keep trying and trying and
11:18
trying and I’ve had plenty of failure in
11:20
my life
11:24
if you get to a place where it’s easy as
11:29
an entrepreneur it’s about to get really
11:32
really hard and so what you find is with
11:37
really good entrepreneurs they’re
11:39
constantly making things difficult for
11:42
themselves and it’s pushing I’d like to
11:46
say you push until it hurts or you sort
11:49
of you want to be always pushing beyond
11:52
what you’re comfortable with and you’re
11:55
sweating just a little bit all the time
11:57
and when that happens when you’re when
11:59
you’re constantly pushing beyond what
12:01
you think what you know it possible
12:03
you’re always sweating a little bit and
12:05
you’re always a little bit nervous but
12:08
that is the drug of being an
12:10
entrepreneur and so when you’re pushing
12:12
like that and you’re never really
12:14
relaxed then it always feels small and
12:17
so in many ways it fuels to me the same
12:20
now as it did at the beginning it’s
12:24
still a little nervous
12:25
[Music]
12:34
[Music]
12:43
when you have a dream and the dream
12:47
isn’t something you dream and then it
12:49
happens the dream is something you never
12:51
knew was going to come into your life
12:52
dreams always come from behind you not
12:55
not right between your eyes it sneaks up
12:56
on you but when you have a dream it
13:00
doesn’t often come at you screaming in
13:02
your face this is who you are this is
13:06
what you must be for the rest of your
13:08
life sometimes a dream almost whispers
13:10
and I’ve always said to my kids the
13:13
hardest thing to listen to your
13:16
instincts your human personal intuition
13:18
always whispers it never shouts very
13:23
hard to hear you have to every day of
13:25
your lives be ready to hear what
13:27
whispers in your ear it’s very rarely
13:30
shelves and if you can listen to the
13:32
whisper and if it tickles your heart and
13:35
if something you think you want to do
13:37
for the rest of your life then that is
13:39
going to be what you do for the rest of
13:41
your life and we will benefit from
13:43
everything you do
13:48
you
13:49
[Music]
13:55
I think there’s massive confusion around
14:03
entrepreneurship entrepreneurship sucks
14:05
I mean it’s lonely it’s high-risk I mean
14:08
I can’t live without it but it’s like a
14:10
bad boyfriend right or girlfriend right
14:12
like like if there’s a ton of bad days
14:15
being an entrepreneur not to mention
14:16
ninety-eight percent of entrepreneurial
14:18
ventures are going to fail so there’s
14:19
gonna be a really bad day in your future
14:21
um you know hopefully not for you I’m
14:25
plenty of you know for me I don’t know I
14:30
think it’s a very personal question I
14:32
think it’s how you’re wired I’m so all
14:34
in entrepreneur I prefer the pain I
14:37
think one of the reasons I love the jet
14:38
so much is because they bring me so much
14:40
pain you know I i love the climate
14:44
communis setback is exciting I love when
14:48
something goes wrong it’s where I shine
14:50
the most but that’s not for everybody
14:53
right I mean it could be very difficult
14:55
and when you start affecting your life
14:56
and your loved ones and all the other
14:58
things it can get real nasty to me the
15:02
way I handle things even though the
15:04
fleet rare days when I really struggle I
15:06
take a real step back and make pretend
15:08
that somebody called me and told me that
15:10
my mother or daughter were killed and I
15:13
know it’s very dark and I apologize but
15:16
it’s really what I do I literally am
15:18
able to at my deepest most struggling
15:21
moment within business take a step back
15:24
and remind myself that I could make a
15:26
drill Ian dollars tomorrow on Bitcoin
15:28
and and if something bad happened to the
15:32
people I love the most then he would
15:33
mean nothing and it very consistently
15:36
rewires me very quickly
15:47
[Music]
15:57
there is no prize out there the only
16:08
prize is this one and what you feel and
16:12
what you want to accomplish and if you
16:15
can as you start out these what could be
16:20
lean years or could be fat years I feel
16:26
that I very often watch a lot of young
16:30
people sort of meander around without
16:33
any idea about why they’re doing what
16:35
they’re doing I mean to want and to be
16:39
ambitious and to want to be successful
16:42
is not enough that’s just desire
16:48
to know what you want to understand why
16:52
you’re doing it to dedicate every breath
16:56
in your body to achieve
17:01
if you feel you have something to give
17:04
if you feel that your particular talent
17:07
is worth developing is worth caring for
17:10
then there’s nothing you can’t achieve
17:20
[Music]
17:27
it is a very very difficult struggle
17:30
most people you know you don’t see the
17:34
struggle part of a person’s life you
17:35
only see that success they have but I
17:38
haven’t met anybody here at the academy
17:40
or anywhere else that hasn’t been able
17:43
to describe years and years and years of
17:44
very very difficult struggle through the
17:48
whole process of achieving anything
17:52
whatsoever so and there’s no way to sort
17:57
of get around that and it did secret is
18:00
just not to give up hope and it’s very
18:02
hard not to because if you’re really
18:05
doing something worthwhile I think I
18:09
think you will be pushed to the brink of
18:12
hopelessness before you come through the
18:15
other side the news about paying through
18:17
that
18:18
you have to make sure that beyond the
18:30
intention that you put out there you put
18:33
action to support the intention don’t
18:35
say I want to be a millionaire but don’t
18:38
take the activities to do it where I
18:40
want to be the best at something but
18:42
don’t practice it
18:43
[Music]
19:05
it’s important to understand that you
19:09
are enough pieces you know you know put
19:11
in the vision have the vision of what
19:13
you want to become but you have to put
19:16
consistent action behind that vision in
19:18
order for that to manifest and it has to
19:21
be consistent you know I have the good
19:23
fortune bill was invited here by one of
19:25
my fraternity brothers Louie Tobias and
19:27
I remember many a day Louie and I Friday
19:30
night we’re going to go to the party and
19:32
we went to the party and we finished the
19:34
party at two-thirty and three o’clock we
19:37
were back studying so that we could do
19:41
well on an exam on Monday it is the
19:46
importance of knowing that it’s your own
19:49
intention and your power and your
19:51
actions that can actually lead to you
19:53
know the outcome that is good that that
19:55
you want to have manifest
