to my channel
Mead last night um or yesterday
afternoon when I was talking to some of
you uh I I alluded to it a little bit
last night before I left you to for the
homework by the way that's the seat you
sit in in my office when it's one-on-one
and I was practicing with Winston and
uh yeah but he's he's more disciplined
than you
um I was asked by a couple of you of the
six I saw um these are my words these
aren't the words of you guys have you
always been like
this in
essence um and I didn't even have to
think about it say
yeah and uh because the line of
questioning again as I said last night
um either directly or indirectly go back
to your insecurities your lack of
self-esteem your lack of
selfworth you're going to see a jillion
people that have done it and but can you
perform blah blah blah blah okay I could
beat that to death forever and even
though I've been beating it to death for
30 years the results aren't any
different so H how far have we U grown
as a homo sapien or
whatever was Darwin wrong uh I think
darwi one was wrong but anyway that's I
could give a whole lecture on that um
and the
uh and normally I get a uh a plethora of
emails about I meant to send you this Mr
P but I've done this deal it's my fourth
deal my eighth deal 16th deal 21st deal
third deal etc and I tell you at the end
of the salar just as I'm going to tell
you right now uh I'm not interested in
talking to you uh but I would be
interested in hear when you do your
first deal
um the um but that's the extent and uh I
alluded to it last night there are no
emergencies and I told you about the
girl that her mother had a heart attack
here at the seminar not here at the
seminar but while she was at the seminar
and I didn't know about it till later
and I was and then I had coffee with her
a few weeks ago in Las Vegas and I was
all thrilled to death about it because
you have the tools already last night at
dinner uh the two young men that the
Sally and I sat with and we'll sit with
different people every every night um
the
U and I'm going to ask a question soon
as I get finish this little sentence uh
one of them had already started had a
chairman had Dream Team y yada which I
tell you not to um because you're not
going to follow the steps and I I ran
and RAV like a psychopath last night
about how come I know you're not going
to follow the steps well then at dinner
the guy that sat next to me didn't
follow the [ __ ]
steps and that's why he's
here um and because your emotional bank
account is only so big some of you have
no emotional bank account not not just
you I mean every audience has ever been
here since 30 years ago your emotional
Bank cuts only so
big uh and as soon as you become an
adult and some of you are still
struggling to become an adult and as my
father said the only goal I have for
Danny is that for him to keep him alive
until he reaches the age of reason that
may be 20 30 40 or
never I would contend that I know a lot
of people that think I'm still haven't
grown up okay but then you as you as you
um uh gain maturity or you go and you go
through P puberty etc etc you meet other
people uh uh even though money's not
everything it's the only thing anybody
really keeps track of so you start
accumulating wealth or you think wealth
there's nobody got any wealth in this
room but I can say that about with five
exceptions in 30 years that have
attended the
seminar and wealth um is defined uh not
the gallop the poers know anything uh
but generally defined if you have a a
net worth of $30 million or more you
considered
wealthy okay our generation wealth is
significantly larger than 30
million uh I don't consider you wealthy
unless you have 100 million and actually
200 million is where really the lines
cross 200 million we have 200 million
after tax that's assuming you pay taxes
so there's certain giv and I'm going to
go through maybe 20 or 30 of
them and um and um some of you maybe not
NE not necessarily the older of you but
some of you uh that have been around the
block that just didn't follow up the
turnip truck uh uh will uh kind of
believe me and the rest of you won't
until it happens to you so the guy was
sitting to the right of me last night at
dinner uh committed the Fatal not fatal
fatal that you you don't have any
recourse but the the one of the most
obvious errors is
um until you come here is that you
follow the steps kind of and then you
get down to trying to finance the
[ __ ] thing and then you can't or as
they say in this part of the world you
canot they're illiterate up here you can
would not you know they leave letters
out um and it's a throwback to the galic
they used to
speak well if you can't Finance it after
you've gone through all that then you
you didn't do it
right there's a guy in here that's done
I think two or three Deals uh sth at the
right hand of kind of uh of um one of my
Superstars um but he's here because he
heard or
not heard I say categorically there's
nobody that's a billionaire that hasn't
attended a seminar that I'm aware of now
there may be five million of them that
I'm not aware of but I know for a fact
they couldn't keep their [ __ ]
mouth shut and I know if they were
billionaires I can tell you every one of
my 56 billionaires I can tell you what
shorts size they wear the last time they
came and their wife or the significant
other so
I I'm doubtful there's any billionaires
I don't know about other than kids that
attended here the
seminar which brings up another subject
that comes later Dan lock and Bruce the
Whipple uh about 10 12 years ago came
back to the seminar and they went
through the seminar they paid just like
you know and I've known Bruce over 30
years I've known Dan uh almost 30 years
uh and uh at the end of the seminar
during graduation when when you loosen
up and you start talking uh they they
both say the same thing the the only
thing Dan doesn't do for you is Hold You
by the dick and sign your deal for
you because when they went to the
seminar no slides no webinars no this no
weekly reports nothing all I did is kick
them in their ass and tell them to go
get deals
done and now except for I'm not into
holding your dick signing the deal for
you that's the only thing that we don't
do yet less deals get done now you've
heard me pontificate about this for
those of you that say that you listen to
me on YouTube ad nause right
forever and I wouldn't keep saying if it
wasn't so true and unfortunately for
me as a
coach world renown coach is not getting
any better
and that's because you're getting
weaker the guys in the 90s and early
2000s had
some you know
grit and you don't
know and I use I've got a thousand
analogies my favorite is in 1986 a
woman handshake
pressure was 96 lbs
a man's handshake pressure was 102
pounds
2016 date is 8 years old a woman's hand
pressure is 111 pounds and a man's hand
shap pressure is 100
PB how's that possible especially some
of you fancy yourself a I won't say f
Fitness addicts or you
know well if you're Fitness is one of
your goals you're failing everybody in
this [ __ ]
room how is that
possible
um about three seminars ago four
seminars ago uh we had one young lady
from the Netherlands her name was Amber
she sat right back about where you are
and uh I have a lot of analogies about
big breasted women you know blonde and
big big tits will get you a long way and
every time I say that she'd stand up she
as flat as a board she'd stand up and
poke her little chest out like
this and uh she got to not everybody in
the class hated her but almost everybody
in the class hated her and so at
graduation night again when they loosen
up and she stood up and said if uh if
this is my competition and these are my
words I'm paraphrasing it uh if the
if this is my competition for you I'd be
ashamed to call yourself a man to the
rest of the
class I go to bed early and so normally
the fights start after I go to bed and
there are some fights sometimes I'm not
recommending this and um and she was the
first one to do a deal in her class in
fact she's the only one to do a deal in
her [ __ ] class to date
how's that possible she's
23 she's Dutch and she
uh attractive
girl I had um a coffee with her uh a few
months or a couple months ago uh in my
travels and uh she
asked did anybody do a deal
yet no
Amber you think I jst
him no
Amber you said what you said at the
graduation night was absolutely
accurate now in my day somebody would
have taken up the CH picked up the
gauntlet not
today now I've been criticized for 30
plus years actually 50 years because
I've been doing this 20 years before I
started
coaching because I'm I'm um I'm being
negative and you know and and the new
genre so to speak is everybody's
possible everything's possible y yada
[ __ ] [ __ ] okay but that's not
true that's a [ __ ] lie and for those
of you in this room that were told you
can be anything you want Johnny Sally
they were lying through their [ __ ]
teeth they knew it when they were saying
it and look at you now how's your
program worked out this is the
truth absolutely 100%
transparency and as I've said for a long
long time the reason why nobody talks
about numbers and we're uh after we give
you I give you the current news I'm
going to give you the four or five last
deals that came in um I mean in the last
72 hours or last week uh to show you
what's happening today um the um but I'm
telling you the truth it's just like
this is harder than becoming an Olympic
gold
medalist how many Olympic gold medalists
are
there not
many not
many but if you want it bad enough and
you can do it I know you can do it
because I've seen it with these eyes uh
you can become not overnight not
instantly
wealthy but 26 days is pretty not
instant to me it's overnight and as I
said last night quickest deal is 26 days
now quickest second deal is 7 days after
the 26
days and that's down from 4 five months
and it's like when Roger banister broke
the uh the 4minute mile years ago uh and
the uh and then a bunch of people broke
it and so a lot a lot of people uh have
uh it's like it used to be 2,000 cold
calls that's 1,400 cold calls and I just
did a quick calculation it's probably
down around 50 Co calls now to a
millionaire a short
millionaire because you're going to have
between 65 and 68% of the first
deal young man do you have a tie yes sir
um cat get him a
tie
um the
um so it's getting
easier it's getting easier now uh when I
when I hang it up here in the next not
too distant future um we're already
working on a hologram to sit
here so then I don't have to look at
you at heo airport when you go down and
to get under the tubes underneath heo
airport there's an attractive woman um
the uh in the old Barbie sense with
curves you know not the new Barbie and
she's talking so I walked through her a
couple times and you know so it's
possible say extend the life because
when I quit I'm not handing the Baton or
baton as they say in this country over
to anybody all the stuff's already
free so there's not going to be any
secondary markets or tertiary
Market
um last night um I I alluded to before I
left uh you saw Donald Trump oh excuse
me Donald Trump's youngest son Baron and
I said that U
unfortunately uh my kids were raised
very much like that with a maybe not a
platinum spoon in their mouth but
certainly a silver or gold spoon in
their mouth and they're
spoiled they're not as spoiled as some
so I I I take uh that's my rest bit I
make myself feel I [ __ ] myself just
like you [ __ ] yourself I [ __ ]
myself and my kids aren't as bad as some
of the kids I
know which means nothing really but it
sues my ego from time to time um
comments
uh well I'm gonna ask the question I
know the answer is anybody in this room
raised like Baron
Trump I don't think so comments about
how Baron was
raised questions about how Baron was
raised yes sir seems like they're trying
to prepare for life
well I mean um Donald didn't do a bad
again full disclosure I know Mr Trump
from another lifetime um Donald didn't
do a bad job with his kids um other than
he wanted them to grow up and be just
like him and the boys he was pretty
successful his daughter he wasn't that
successful um
but those were under different wives
mothers and his current wife who's
arguably the most elegant first lady uh
the US has ever had uh added some panach
um she's well educated speak seven or
eight languages y Yad y okay and um she
also was able to witness the mistakes
Donald made with other wives with his
other kids so whether Baron turns out to
be worth a [ __ ] or not you know time
will tell
um but it's hard when you've been in
that
environment to be
normal um when we lived in Texas I was
known to have the longest limo in Texas
which was true and they used to take our
kids to school every
morning and uh the convicted murder
driver that I had
Jimmy uh uh and bodyguards for take but
only to about six blocks before school
and they drop them off because the kids
didn't want to drive up in the longest
Lim on Texas and so then Jimmy and The
Bodyguard would walk him to school and
make sure that nothing happened to him
because one of the things when you get
more or less super wealthy people want
to kidnap your kids and one of the
reasons we moved here is Guthrie is
easily
defendable the head of security used to
be the former head of security for for
the royat brania retired Marine named
Chris fi um but those are things down
the road you you know I'm not telling
you to worry about it but that's going
to happen it just
will uh it's because it's easy you're a
soft target just a minute you're a soft
target because you love your
kids I don't suffer from
that so there's a whole bunch of things
okay the other thing you saw was
what oh uh which I told you we I never
wrote it I I tried it I don't know a
thousand times it's not true but a few
hundred for sure didn't even come close
and some little seven-year-old [ __ ]
came in and
just uh and um but that's my job is to
rewire
you because that's how you think now
and for engineers accountants lawyers
doctors scientists and a few other is is
very difficult to rewire and in some
cases
impossible doesn't mean you can't make a
lot of
money um but that's my job and there's
nobody better at it based on
results uh there may be people better at
it based on uh lovey W that everybody
you know that jelly roll back in the 70s
there was a program called EST which I
went to which you put you in a room and
you had to stay there for several days
and uh you [ __ ] on the floor there was
no urinals okay and then you did a jelly
roll every three or four hours jelly
roll is when everybody comes together
and hugs each other you know which is
not similar to what's going on now and
uh the uh I and another guy that were at
the same class um
we were you know single
uh not every woman [ __ ] everybody but
almost every woman [ __ ] everybody so
it was just you
know the uh and I so we're back to the
jelly rolls now you know it's it's like
I have a slide coming up U are you
okay nobody's ever asked me in my almost
80 years if I'm okay
never
happened now Sally in addition to being
a chartered accountant is this
registered psychologist and she she she
I'm not going to go through the long
[ __ ] winded answer but people
assume I'm okay and there's nothing
wrong because the way I
act I'm waiting for I'm okay
another thing that's never happened to
to the high performance people I've been
privileged to be around um you're doing
something and uh it's deemed it's wrong
and you say I'm working on
it well I had a privilege of known Steve
Jobs and I never heard him say I'm
working on
it change can be instantaneous if you
want it
the reason I didn't do drugs in the 60s
which I mean everybody did drugs in
except me and my two best friends uh
because my dad had sat me down when I
was 14 years old in the living room of
our little teeny house and he went to
his uh lock boox which was never locked
and he pulled out a 8 in 38 uh Smith and
Wesson 8 inch barrel and um he loaded it
and he put it to the side of my head I
can still see if I close my eyes I can
still see the the bull in the bottom two
Chambers and he gave me his uh drug talk
and he said U the only cure for
[ __ ] Drug Attic is a
[ __ ] bullet in your
[ __ ] head and I'm the
[ __ ] that'll put it there and my
mother was sitting over here she had
gone around the house turning on the two
TVs we had and the three radios we had
full blast so the neighbors couldn't
hear and she was screaming and crying
Manny Manny Manny you you might pull the
trigger and hurt him and he says no if I
pull the trigger I'm going to blow his
[ __ ] brains all over the wall and I
believe my
dad never did drugs I did everything bad
other than drugs but I didn't do drugs
okay YouTube Go [ __ ] Yourself
