All right, guys, we're talking on this segment about the importance of embracing this harsh truth. All right, there's no excuse. The centric people always just lose

Well, what does it mean to be centric? Centric is like the median. It's the average.

E centric means unconventional, slightly strange. Maybe somebody who is displaying a

disproportional amount of interest or focus in one thing. Napoleon Hill, the best-selling author, writes about the importance of having a white, hot, burning desire for your definite chief aim.

Some people call it a magnificent obsession, but you have to be obsessed and enthusiastic about something at a level that doesn't make sense for most people. Most people don't have an abnormal level of success, which is why their worldview is centric. Most people, according to Gallup, 70% of Americans hate their jobs.

According to Forbes, 90% of startups fail, startup businesses, and 80% of businesses fail. So the vast majority of people aren't happy with their success that they're having in their given sport, their given career, their given anything.

And so if you're going to be the kind of person who has tremendous and above average success in any area, it's going to require you to put in a regular, an abnormal, an uncommon, an unconventional, a strange, an extraordinary, a freakish, a bizarre and a lay-and-ish amount of energy into that calling and or task.

You have to start to view your job as a calling. The Latin word for vocation, the word the word vocation comes from the original Latin word, which means a calling that a person is especially drawn toward.

And when you meet anybody who's abnormally successful, they feel called to do what they do. They're obsessed with the achievement of success.

And that is why people that are measured and people who are focused on balance and people that are focused on being the middle and never offending everybody and never wanting to spend too much time obsessing on any particular thing, they never get great at anything.

You think about LeBron James? I mean, I'm sure he's successful in a lot of areas of his life, but the guy is obsessed on dominating the game of basketball.

There wasn't like he was playing, you know, at the college level, multiple sports. Now in high school, he did play a few different sports, but he eventually had to focus in on a particular sport.

So I'm asking you today, in what area of your life do you need to be eccentric about? Do you need to obsess about and so that you can stay happily married or be the kind of person that could get married and stay happily married?

You want to set boundaries on it. So that way there's, it's your maniacally focused on one thing as a result of saying no to a lot of things.

You're going to have to say no to a lot of things if you want to become great at anything. You must become any centric person.

So this is the tough knowledge here. Okay. I'm going to read the notable quoteable clay stairs. You're going to break it down.

I read the next notable quoteable chop you break it down. These are all hard truths that relate to embracing the concept that there is no excuse.

People that just aren't willing to be maniacally focused on one thing. People that don't have that white, hot, burning desire for success cannot win. Nature cannot be tricked.

You just have to focus your energy and attention and be just obsessed if you want to become successful.

So notable quoteable number one comes into us fresh and hot from Mr. Lee Cockrell.

Lee was the former executive vice president of Walt Disney World Resorts. He once managed 40,000 employees.

And he said the number one excuse that I hear people say for not getting things done is that I ran out of time.
