Yo, today's QOTS!

0:03.0

I don't have time for nonsense.

0:06.0

Here we go!

0:32.0

Welcome back to the QOTS!

0:37.0

We got Steve, back on the show for your motivation Monday.

0:43.0

What I love the most about Steve's clip is when he talks about how now it's his time to tell you how he did it.

0:53.0

I love that because these days when people make it when celebrities become super famous, instead of telling you how they didn't and how it's possible, they go around telling you how bad you've got it and why you can't do it.

1:11.0

So I really respect Steve for what he's talking about here but for what he's doing in general. Instead of trying to tell you you can't do it, he's saying here, here's how I did it and here's how you can do it too.

1:24.0

Steve, are we coming up in 60 seconds?

1:29.0

I mean, you know, look man, God gave me a life I'd never even really dreamed of. He gave me even beyond what I dreamed of.

1:42.0

I mean, you think about it. The money they pay me is to wake up, I either play music or I tell jokes. I either play music or I tell jokes.

1:56.0

I entertain people for living. They give me money. That's a blessing man. See, see when I wake up, I don't have to go to work. I get to go to work. See, that's a difference man. Some people have to go to work. I get to go to work. I get to, I don't have to.

2:19.0

I mean, I was doing this for years for no money but through Grayson Mercy, you know, he just kept blessing me. And then, you know, I got other things I want to accomplish, you know, I'm not through.

2:31.0

I've been at this a long time man, like I'm thinking about the end, you know. But all I want to do now is make enough money to change kids' lives.

2:43.0

You know, my foundation is the most important thing. I'm going to do some stuff over here in Ghana, Barcelona and Gilbert. Those are three cities I'm targeting for my foundation to come and change.

2:56.0

You know, so that's what it is now. That's motivation and then, you know, I'm a trailblazing man. I got to show other people how to do it. You know, my job now is to show y'all how I did it. That's why I talk all the time about motivation.

3:09.0

I talk more about motivation now than I do come because, you know, your career is what you pay for, your calling is what you made for.

3:17.0

So I'm in the calling part of my life now. You know, I have to like, when you ask me a question, say, I can't just, like if I tell you you got to write it down, I'm telling you how to make it.

3:29.0

You have to do it. Now, you can try to do it. If you, you could try to not do it. It's going to be hard. But so I always try to give people little pieces of wisdom because you're young, you know, everybody in this room, you want to be happy and you want to be successful.

3:45.0

Everybody in here wants to be happy and successful. If you don't want to be happy and successful, there's something wrong with you. Most people want to be happy and successful.

3:54.0

You just need the key. The how to. That's my job. It's it. Show you how to. Like if I give you one scripture that can change your life and I tell you, back or two or two, and then you don't follow that. That's not my fault.

4:10.0

So now you know that you have to write down like if you look at my iPhone, my iPhone has my vision board on it. I haven't got my picture no dog or my wife on my phone. My wife is at my house.
