The one mentality that you must have in

life is that regardless of what's in

front of you, you still must [music]

grind.

I'll never be in the Olympics. I'll

never be a professional athlete, BUT

STILL I GRIND.

I fail at most things I do,

but still I grind. I don't want to do

half the [ __ ] I do, but still I grind.

And that one day you see me down a dark

alley running at 1:00 in the morning,

know one thing.

I was grinding.

Stay hard.

>> The grind is your responsibility.

There's a hundred people you could wake

up and go work for today, but only one

person is going to wake up and work on

your [ __ ] and that's you. Everybody

want to be self-made, but nobody want to

be self-accountable. Sometimes the

biggest challenge is looking the man in

the mirror and telling him when he ain't

working hard enough.

>> [ __ ] pour your time into yourself,

bro. We only get 24 hours. I'm telling

you that [ __ ] going to work, [music]

[ __ ] I didn't pour so much time into

myself sitting at them computers, [ __ ]

Editing, [ __ ] Going to the studio,

spending money, all this other [ __ ] all

on my self, and now I'm at where I'm at.

If I never would have did that, I

wouldn't be here.

>> Hey man, look. This is what you got to

do, bro.

>> [music]

>> Wake up and grind. Wake up and grind.

Wake up and grind every day. That's the

method. I mean, it's not hard. If you

get up every single day and put your

mind to something, how could you really

believe that you won't win? It's not

possible. I mean, 99% of people already

don't want to grind. So, you just

starting, you becoming the 1%. This junk

is really simple, but you making it

hard. When all you have to do is wake up

and grind every day.

That's the method.

>> You become a dangerous person when all

you want to do is grind. All you want to

do is change your situation. All you

want to do is improve your life. When

it's all you think about. You don't care

if it means being by yourself. You don't

care if it means cutting off certain

people. You don't care if it means

distancing yourself for a while.

>> I'm going to grind it out now. You know

what I'm saying? I'm going to set up the

foundation so I can enjoy myself later.

That's that's been my mentality. Like,

I'm not going to trick off my early

years for partying. Then worry about

struggling, how I'm going to make it,

how I'm going to take care of my family,

how I'm going to take care of everybody

else. Like, that's not going to be me.

Man, I'm built different. Period.

>> We're just built different, man. And

I've always had an eye

and discipline and a work ethic [music]

that I've had at a young age that I just

kind of I just applied to everything

that I that I want to do. So so I would

say that

you know,

rarely go out, you know, reading, you

know what I'm saying? Trying to reverse

engineer how to be successful. Like, how

do I you know, start my own production

company? How do I do this? How do I do

that? And I always felt like if other

cats was out partying and I was home

studying, I would have an edge.

>> Sometimes you got to disappear, bro.

Sometimes you got to get away. Isolate.

Distance yourself. Sometimes that grind

is going to require your focus, 100% of

your focus. That's going to require you

being away. That might require you

disappearing for a while. That might

require you being out for 2-3 months.

You got to be all right with that.

>> Have to be willing to just really throw

yourself into something and know that

especially in the beginning, there's no

time to [ __ ] off here. If you really

want to do something that's really hard

to do, you got to be all in cuz there's

too many people that are all in and

you're competing with them.

>> Hey dollar, you want to know how you

going to win? You treat every day like a

Monday and every month like a January.

You got to wake up every day and put

110% to your craft because there's

someone out there that's getting in more

than you. So don't be acting shocked

when they up and you down. The person

who grinds the hardest always gets it.

Hard work beats talent every time.

Remember that.

>> Think that. Understand that it's it's

very hard because it's luck. A lot of

it's luck and I I think that you you you

got to just put your mind to it, man.

And and when you are in that mode where

you're grinding and coming up, you got

to just be like straight on that. Like,

no partying, no going out, no

distractions, lock in.

>> Didn't you say you were going to lock in

this summer? What happened?

>> It's already been like

pretty much 2 and 1/2 months.

>> Where the gains at, man? You said you

were going to hit Planet Fitness every

day. So what's What's on here? I'm sure

that may have hit home a little bit too

hard for some of you.

But,

don't forget the passage of time stops

for no one. So, try your damndest

>> [music]

>> to capitalize on it when you know that

you can.

The last thing you want to do is fast

forward 5 years, 10 years, however many

years, and think to yourself, "Holy

crap,

I probably should have spent those years

doing something a little bit different."

Whoops.

Inaction is

I would say inaction's [music] probably

far worse than wrong action. Cuz at

least if you make some mistakes and some

fuck-ups, you get to learn from them.

You know, if you don't do anything, you

just kind of stay comfortable.

So, you got to be the guy who has to

deal with the thoughts on the regular of

oh, man, what could have been.

You know, get that membership. Do uh do

whatever it is you're thinking about.

>> I know you probably feel like you ain't,

you know, doing everything you're

supposed to do, but I'm telling you

right now, if you lock in today, if you

start today, 4 months is just enough

time for you to get your life together,

bro. You're not too late. You on time.

I'm letting you know right now, if you

just get focused, you grind, you cut out

all the distractions, bro, you just lock

in on your goal,

I'm telling you going to get it, bro.

But, I can't trust in you more than you

trust yourself.

It's going to be something you dig in

within, bro.

I believe [music] in you, though.

>> No remorse when you're hustling, you

know what I mean? So, now man's just up

all night, man's just grinding,

grinding, grinding, grinding. Going to

the shop, opening, closing. We're just

hustling, bro. There's no time for

games. We're not booking no holidays,

bro. The only time we're on a flight is

if there's money to be made. Wish they

hungry, always have faith. It's good to

have faith in something rather than just

ourselves. Just keep grinding. Don't let

nothing or nobody make you feel like

you're worthless or don't make nothing

in this dunya make you feel like you

want to quit your dreams or quit your

hustle. We all face hardships, do you

know what I'm saying?

>> I think one of the hardest things to

hear after you don't get your way is

keep working.

>> [music]

>> But, it's also one of the only solutions

to be successful.

Not going to get your way most of the

time in your life.

Just keep working. Hard work pays off,

no one tells you when.

You'll never know the true feeling of

accomplishment if you've never faced a

setback. You'll never know the true

meaning of confidence if you've never

had to bounce back from anything.

Just keep working. [music] You're not

getting what you want, keep working. You

are getting what you want, keep working.

One thing's for sure,

overthinking's overrated. Have a great

day.

>> So, look, one thing I want you to

promise me is that no matter how long it

takes, keep going.

No matter how much it hurts, keep going.

See, you was placed on this earth for a

reason. You weren't meant to be average.

You were meant to excel.

You got to understand that this grind is

meant to make you who you supposed to

be, a dog. A little grinding never hurt

nobody.

Stop being soft. Let's embrace it. If

you go through that fire, you're going

to come out real cold.

That's what we want.

>> A lot of people can give up. It's easy

to give up.

>> Hell yeah.

>> It's easiest thing in the world to do,

all right, man, I'm I'm done. I ain't

going. I ain't going to keep going.

>> I don't feel like going to work. I'm

done.

>> It's easy. It's very easy. But, what's

hard is going, yo, yesterday I got

nothing from working as hard as I could.

[music]

Nothing happened from that. I'm going to

do the same thing again today, but I'm

going to try to go harder. That's the

hardest thing in the world, to get up

every day and give 100%

>> [music]

>> and and be in the same position that you

were each day, but mentally know that

you're trying and trying and trying.

That's that's a real That's a real

grind.

>> The minute that you trip and fall,

when you hit that ground,

that's who you are.

And if you really want to know who you

are, it's how you get back up. To me,

that's what this is all about. It's like

the way that you react to that is sort

of who you are. That's where you're

That's where we can really see a true

illustration of your DNA. Would you like

a life where you never did anything that

challenged you or pushed you? Would you

choose that? No.

So, why are you complaining about your

life being full of that? Pressure in

itself isn't the problem. It's the story

we tell ourselves about our pressure

that causes us to be unhealthy. Stress

and pressure don't actually kill people

unless

you believe it will.

>> Whatever you're going through, you're

not the only one going through it. It's

just life, man.

It's just life. We do what we can. We do

the best we can. We handle things the

best we can, but things still happen.

There are things that even the strong

and the wise hit

that they can't fix and they can't get

through.

And what makes them strong and what

makes them wise and what makes us

strong, you and I, and what makes us

wise is we deflect and we go on a better

path and we keep moving. We are

unstoppable.

>> In the words of my grandmother, when

you're born, you look like your parents,

but when you die, you look like your

decisions. Every decision that you make

has a domino effect on your life. It's

not what is in front of you. It's what

is behind you, the things that you've

already went through to get to where

you're at. And normally, when you're

just about ready to blow,

>> [music]

>> right when you get it's just about ready

to succeed, it gets harder and harder.

Success is like riding a bike. It's

enthusiastic when you first start, and

when you get up that hill, it gets a

little harder. So, keep grinding.

>> It's about the grind.

The sleepless nights, [music]

the sacrifices,

the prayers you whisper when nobody was

watching.

It's all about those moments when you

could have folded, but you didn't.

You see, the underdog story is the

realest story there [music] is. Cuz when

you come from nothing, you appreciate

everything.

You hustle different. You love

different, and you lead different.

So, today,

I want you to do three things.

Stay humble.

Never forget where you came from.

Stay hungry. [music]

Keep that fire in your soul.

And stay true. Always be real with

yourself and the world. Because the

world don't need no more copies.

It need originals. And trust me, ain't

nobody else that can do what you do like

you do.
