Yeah, we did, yeah.
I think the thing that people misunderstand about success is they're looking for the easiest way to get there. And it's funny, how many people books have you read or
won't say promoted but had on your show and everybody goes five easy steps ten steps to greatness yeah you know eight steps to this and those steps for success they're infinite they are infinite you cannot count them it doesn't matter how long you've been doing it those steps are constantly shifting You don't know if they're there.
Sometimes you have to trust that the next step is going to be there when you can't even see it. And sometimes when you step on that step, you go right into quicksand. But you got to be able to pull yourself back out of it again. So everybody's looking for these steps and there are no steps. Those steps never, never end. And you just can't climb steps.
Sometimes you got to crawl those steps and you finally get to the top. and everything shifts and you're at the bottom again. That's crazy.
Sometimes you're at the top and then you're at the bottom again. Well, you may get to the top and you're like, I'm here. And then you look back down and you look up again, you're actually on the first step. You're on the first step again. And where you thought was the top is not even the top. It's the beginning. It's literally the beginning of where you're supposed to be.
And that's when most people just quit. I just like, it just drives me crazy because everybody's like, here, look at, I always, people that I do the interview with, I always like to use them as an example because people can relate to that, all right? You've been climbing steps for how long to get to here?
So you have just, right, exactly. So all the steps that you climbed just to get started. Yeah. Just to get started. And people don't want to talk about those steps. They don't want to talk about those steps and how difficult those steps are and how many steps that you stumbled on and how many steps you didn't even see and how many steps that people placed in front of you and they pulled away.
People that you were very close to. People that you knew. People that you thought that were like, hey, these people actually have my back. Except, yeah, they did have your back, but they were actually pushing you down the steps. for stabbing you in there.
And it's funny when you talk about those things or people talk about it, they seem surprised, but you should know that in that path, all those things are gonna be there. They're going to be there.
Winning isn't all of us. That's what I always say, listen. And we have wins every single moment. And those are the steps that get us a little closer to what we want. Every minute, you have an opportunity to win. You really do. But with everything that went on in the world in this past year, people forgot how to win. People don't even know what a win looks like anymore.
Yeah, people don't even know like, And so many times a wind just comes by because there's a constant change, there's a constant shift. And now with the paradigm of the way everything is being handled now, you have to look at things completely different. Everybody's waiting for normal. A wind doesn't look like what it used to look like anymore. What does it look like now?
What does it look like now? For each individual, it's different. For each individual, it's different. For a lot of individuals, it's just like... getting out of that routine that you were stuck in for so long? And did the pandemic allow you to say, you know what? Yeah, I was in a routine, but the routine wasn't getting me anywhere. I was in a routine of comfort.
And the pandemic put a lot of people in a routine that was very uncomfortable, that they weren't used to. They weren't, but it was a necessity. It was needed. You know, people always wish for this time during this thing that happened, I want to spend more time with my family. And now they have it. Now you have it. Okay. Schools aren't doing a good job with educating my kids.
Now you're homeschooling. I'd love to work from the house. Now you're doing it. Now you're doing it. Now you have all these things going on that you wished you had as you thought were wins. And for some people they were. And for others, you're just like, no, these are not wins.
I do a lot of Zoom stuff at home and I got a cat and I got a very lively dog and you'll see the cat run right across the screen. Of course, I don't have little kids in the house anymore, but trying to work and have them in the background asking for school help or, you know, they're on their bandwidth trying to study in their school stuff. Winning became a distraction. It became a distraction.
And people were trying to balance all these different things and forgot, hey, this is what my win is. You need to recognize what that win is now. And during the pandemic, it's not getting back to normal. It's getting beyond normal, figuring out what your next win is, how to place it, and how to continue to move forward on that win.
Because it's easy to talk about the setbacks because so many people can relate to that. That gave us a nice little comfort thing. Everybody can use the pandemic as an excuse. And then you have other people that thrive during that time. They're like, I got to find out a new way to win. I got to find out like a real, real new way to win.
And you had some people that really, really won big during that time. Absolutely. They stepped up. They stepped up. Yes. They stepped up. They saw the steps. And I was like, okay. Are these steps stable? Are they unstable? It doesn't matter. I gotta climb them. I gotta climb them.
Continue to work like a maniacal individual on what you want.
