| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's QODS! I need you to take ownership of your time and your mind. Here we go. |
| 0:30.9 | Welcome back to the quote of the day show I'm your host Sean Crox and the |
| 0:37.1 | Sean Croxin.com. We got Eric Thomas also known as ET the hip-hop preacher on the show today. |
| 0:43.2 | He's going to keep us rolling with our kind of theme for the week, which is being disciplined, |
| 0:49.4 | which is saying, hey, I want to be great and I'm willing to do what it takes to be great. |
| 0:55.6 | I'm not just going to talk about it. I'm actually going to do it. I am going to take on the habits |
| 1:02.0 | of highly successful people so I can become just as successful as them. He's going to talk about |

| 2:26.2 | three games. You watching the one o'clock game, the 430 game, the 8PM game, and then you watch the |
| 2:33.4 | ESPN to rewatch everything you watch. That's why you ain't successful. You watching Les Brown |
| 2:43.0 | make his dreams become a reality. You watching the brunt, my mom, but make his dreams become right. |
| 2:48.0 | If you put the same time, Les Brown put in, and I started studying, and I realized I was an African |
| 2:53.0 | American male. I didn't get a master's degree in the PhD in order to do what I'm doing. And guess |
