Summary

The question that I get the most is, "How did you turn your life around?" "How were you able make it in business with only $47 in your bank account?" And the answer is that you should be your happiest when you're at your lowest point in your life. Now that sounds a bit farfetched, but hear me out. "When you succeed you party. When you fail you ponder" This quote is straight from a Tony Robbins' book that my mom gave me when I was sleeping on a couch which completely changed the trajectory of my life. This quote reminded me that when something in your life isn't going right, whether it's your finances being a wreck or you getting dumped by a partner, that is the best time for you to ponder. When you fail you should take time to think and reassess, that way you can come back even stronger than you were before. My second mentor Allan Nation said that the definition of an entrepreneur is someone that recreates the world in their own image. So remember when you think you're down and out you really have the clearest path to recreating your world in the exact way you want it.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:15.6	You can't find it. You can't find people that you want to spend time around.
0:19.7	Depression, if you're a fall in a fog all day, can't find happiness that
0:25.5	everybody sees. Out of the ashes you will rise. And that's it. That's at the end
0:32.3	of the day, the quickest summary. You can look through and read books. I've read
0:36.3	books by philosophers and historians trying to find the purpose of life. Well,
0:41.4	as far as I can tell, no one knows exactly the purpose of life. But what we do
0:46.6	know is that you will be tested and you can rise above the tests. The ashes
0:55.5	represent the nothingness. Everything that you thought you had burnt down. And then
1:00.9	you rebuild. And you rebuild better. And that's the fate, hope that you must have.
1:06.1	And if you look through history, the greatest people in the world, whether it's Martin Luther King
1:10.2	Jr. or Muhammad Gandhi or Nelson Mandela, think about Nelson Mandela. It's been 25
1:16.0	years in a prison unjustly comes out of it. Everything burnt to the ground. All of
1:24.6	his hopes and dreams, his career lost 25 years of his life. But out of it, he rebuilds
1:29.4	out of the ashes. Something better. Gets rid of apartheid, leads the fight
1:35.5	to get rid of apartheid in South Africa, wins a Nobel Peace Prize, changes the world.
1:40.1	Now you and I, I don't know if we'll get in the history books, but maybe we get in
1:43.9	somebody's history book. Maybe it's a friend, child, a neighbor, someone we don't know.
1:53.3	Like I said, I can't tell you there's tremendous philosophies have been put forward as to what
