It's just dedicating and sacrificing your life to be in a particular way you want to be. Like, you want to conduct yourself. Say you want to be like Tony Robbins. You get all the information you can about Tony Robbins. And you conduct yourself. This is how I want to live my life. This is almost like... What do we call these things? This is your manuscript.

Yeah, yeah. So you've got to live it, you've got to breathe it.

Yeah, and you have to be that before you actually become the person. Interesting. You're not going to become the person over there. You think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now, right? Tomorrow you're Tony Robbins. You didn't know. It's going to take time, so I'm going to become this guy. You know, I'm going to be this guy before, because you're not ready.

But when the time comes, you're going to be ready. You're going to be Tony Robbins. This is my life. I'm accustomed to this. Of course I got this role. Of course I got this job. Of course I got this rate. I prepared for it. You wouldn't even be surprised. Mm-hmm. Before you became the champ the first time, were you visualizing and imagining? Oh, yeah. Ever since I was 14, this is who I am.

This is who I'm going to be. This is the guy. You have to be the champ before you be the champion. You understand? Does that make sense? Yeah. You have to be him before you can be him. You can't just pop this by training and doing push-ups and knocking people out. No, you have to be the actual champ. Your conduct, your lifestyle have to be the champ before you actually wear the belt.

That's what I did. I would read books about them. That's all I did. Read books about them, watch them fight. That's my life. I wasn't in school. I wasn't training. I was watching them and reading about them.
