Welcome to this special masterclass. We've brought some of the top experts in the world to help you unlock the power of your life through this specific theme today. It's going to be powerful, so let's go ahead and dive in. What do most people misunderstand about success in general? You're around the most successful people, you train them. What do people misunderstand about success?
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.
What does that mean?
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?
I mean, since starting this, it's been over eight years, but the journey before then, it was, you know, decades to build myself, to prepare myself for this. And now I feel like I'm just getting started. Right, exactly.
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.
It's the obstacles. You know, Ryan Holiday says the obstacle is the way. Do you think that anyone can become a winner? Your book is about winning the unforgiving race to greatness. Do you think anyone can become a winner?
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.
What does it look like?
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?
