Some of you will never be, you'll never have, you'll never do, because you're sitting around waiting on a phone call,

because you're sitting around waiting for somebody to give you an opportunity.

Your opportunity to get your mama out of that neighborhood and get your mama into a new neighborhood,

listen to me, that opportunity might come in the next six months.

You knew it's your job and you like, E.T.

Look, I just got here. I got forever.

Listen to me very closely.

You gotta hear me.

You might be at that job another 10 years.

You might be there another 20 years.

But that opportunity, somebody's about to leave and get another job.

Hear me very closely.

Somebody's about to quit. Somebody's about to get fired get another job. Hear me very closely. Somebody's about to quit.

Somebody's about to get fired.

And you will not, listen to me, you will not be ready at that particular moment to go to the next level.

Question is, will you be ready when that opportunity comes?

So you're rolling out of time.

There's a certain determination.

There's a certain level of resiliency, a pounce back a get back up that you have to have to reach certain levels of success. It's about being prepared beforehand so that when the opportunity comes, you are already ready for the opportunity. It's not playing call a call the duty and waiting by it and putting the phone by you waiting for somebody to pick up the phone and call you

That's not what it's about preparation. We're getting prepared just in case the opportunity comes

I don't want to start practicing on the opportunity. I want to practice before so when the opportunity comes

I can stroke it are you hearing what I'm saying? You are who you are in practice when you play. And if you hadn't practiced, then when it's time to play, your play is going to be practiced. You heard me, your play is going to be practiced. It's working in the off season. It's doing what you got to do in the off season. So in the regular season come you ready. You heard me say it before. I am an athlete. I am a professional. So whether there's a game or not, I wake up and shoot. I heard a little kid called me last week. He said, E.T. Thanks, bro. I got up today at 5 o'clock in the morning and I'm practicing my soccer game. He said, but guess what? That's not what's important. He said, I'm not on the team, Eric. He said, I didn't make the soccer team, but I'm getting up at five o'clock every morning practice it as if I made it. There are two types of people. There are people who plan for events, and when the events don't show up, they don't show up. And there's another group that's hungry, and they want it as bad as they want to breathe. And whether there's an event or not, they get in out. Whether there's an opportunity or not, they're getting up and getting dressed. They're getting up, they getting out, and they're going to make it happen. Are you hear what I'm telling you? I don't plan for events anymore. I plan because it's a part of the process. I plan because I'm a professional. I plan because I create my own luck.
