| 0:00.0 | The way the politics work in the United States of America is that it is a very partisan system, |
| 0:05.0 | meaning that the Democrats do things to support Democrats and they will do things to block |
| 0:08.5 | Republicans regardless of what it is. |
| 0:11.2 | Just because it came from a Republican, the Democrats will block it. |

| 0:23.6 | You are listening to Work on your game. |
| 0:26.6 | If you didn't hear the intro to this and my explanation of why I'm even talking about this, |
| 0:29.6 | please go back and listen to yesterday's episode. |
| 0:31.6 | But without further to do, we just pick up where we left off. |
| 0:33.6 | Point number four. |
| 0:34.6 | Topic once again here today is why I'm not a politician. This is an ongoing three-part series. This is a part two. Point number four, having to listen to, answer to, or be subordinate to others who have more seniority than me. When you're a politician, you kind of have to do this. Most of the time you end up in this position, even if you're the president, sometimes you got to do this. Because let me explain |
| 0:55.1 | something to you about me, for those you who don't know. Even though I'm an entrepreneur now, I've had a lot of |
| 0:58.9 | jobs. Before I became a professional athlete and full-time entrepreneur, I worked somewhere between |
| 1:04.3 | 20 and 30 jobs, meaning being employed, W2, biweekly paycheck, 20 and 30 jobs. Some of you who work at a job right now, I've worked more jobs than you have. And I'm saying that you say this, I know how to be a good soldier. I'm a very good soldier if I so choose to be or chose to be a soldier. I know how to be a very good soldier. I'll be one of your best employees if I worked for you, any of you who's a boss or supervisor. I'd be one of your favorites because I show up every single day and do the work. I know what I'm doing. I know how to take instruction. I know how to follow direction. And I am consistent and reliable, guaranteed. All of that being said, knowing how to show up every day, do the job assigned to me, be a trusted member of the boss or the supervisor. The problem is I simply don't want to be one. I know how to be a soldier. I just don't want to be a soldier. This is why I chose to become a general. And once I got a taste to being in general, I knew I can never go back to being a soldier again, which is why I can confidently asserts you that I will never have a boss ever again in my life. I don't like people being able to tell me what to do. It's just me. Now, if I was to get into politics, knowing that I stand in this space on this square that I just gave you, if I were to get into politics, there will be people there who have been in politics for longer than me. They are more entrenched than I am. They have more |
| 2:20.0 | and stronger relationships than I would have because I'm brand new. They've been in longer than me. |
| 2:24.7 | They have more leverage and more poll than I have. They have more donors and more money for |
| 2:30.1 | their campaign coffers than I have. They got more of everything than I got. Only thing I might have more of is, I don't know, social media followers, content on the internet. |
| 2:37.8 | Everything else, they got me beat. |
| 2:39.4 | Okay? |
