Put in the Work

- During that point, what did I do? Is I did what I preach to all of you which is I put in the work. I gave up all my weekends and holidays in high school because I knew I had to pay that price because I wasn't gonna do the I'm gonna go to school, meet some good kids at Stanford and Brown, Ivy League school. Make some relationships and that's gonna be my springboard. I was gonna start with no relationships and in the gutter and I was gonna have to prove it and I would have to show up and meet everybody like I did in my 30s but in my teens and 20s, I was gonna have to work. And so what I did was to the extreme of anybody I've met that had options, some people lose their father, mother, welfare but anybody who had some options, I punted every leisure activity in my life. Nothing, no weekends, no vacations, zero, nothing. Like we're making jokes about the seven days, I didn't take a single, and by the way, it's my truth. I didn't take a single vacation day. Never and I'm sure you worked on your side hustle, I just love you and I didn't want to razz you. None. Zero, zero. All my high school friends, gone, because I wasn't around. All my college friends, post-college, gone. I'd see them a little bit. I love those guys but gone. Girlfriends, nothing. All-in. So what did I do? I worked. I worked to such an extreme level that when I push you on work, I don't even ask you to do 50% of what I did and I guarantee you'll fucking win.
