00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Before we begin, Jim Rohn taught
us that the things that are easy

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,720
to do are also easy not to do. 
And that's where fortunes are 

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,880
quietly decided. 
Not in dramatic moments, but in 

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,560
small daily disciplines. 
We created the Self-discipline 

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,720
Hacks Playbook to help you 
remove, neglect, and execute 

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,880
those simple actions 
consistently. 

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,240
If you want the next six years 
to look different from the last 

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,600
six, you'll find it in the 
description. 

9
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,080
Now let's begin. 
I found an opportunity. 

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,760
That's all you got to do in 
America. 

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Search for an opportunity. 
Take the first one right. 

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,160
Try it. 
That isn't it leads to another. 

13
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:43,720
One door closes. 
Another door opens. 

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,440
This is what's exciting about 
America. 

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,960
It's full of opportunity. 
A chance to try, and then what? 

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Try again, and then what? 
Try again. 

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,000
Never, never run out of 
opportunity to try. 

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,800
See if you can't better your 
life and your health and your 

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,280
future and your bank account and
your income. 

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,000
Make your fortune here. 
I lived in America #1 found an 

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,480
opportunity #3 #2 here's #3 I 
found a teacher. 

22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,960
What a grand and glorious unique
thing that was for me at that 

23
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,960
time in my life. 
I found a teacher willing to 

24
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:19,120
teach me, and his teaching came 
in two parts. 

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,240
Here's what it was very simple 
#1 Mr. Ron, you have evidently 

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,040
messed up between ages 19 and 
25. 

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,320
Now I could understand that, but
he didn't leave me there. 

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,760
He said. 
Now here's the answers on how to

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,720
change it all the next six years
so that the next six years won't

30
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120
be like the last six. 
What an incredible teacher. 

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,000
Taught me how to have a whole 
brand new six years, 1st 6 what 

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,720
I messed up second six what I 
got it right. 

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Second six years, I became a 
millionaire. 

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,600
During that second six years, 
the government was about the 

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,400
same. 
I'm telling you, interest rates 

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,400
were about what? 
The same. 

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,240
The pay scale was about what the
same. 

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,039
Lord knows my negative realities
were the same. 

39
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Circumstances were about the 
same, the economy was about the 

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,680
same, the unions and their 
philosophy was about the same. 

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,560
What was going on around me was 
about the same. 

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,240
Then how come I got rich that 
second six years I was not the 

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,920
same. 
I changed. 

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,320
You said, well, Mr. Own, if you 
can do that, can anybody do it? 

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,800
Yes. 
I invite you on that journey 

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,480
anytime you want to. 
You can stay the same so that 

47
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,200
the next six years to be like 
the last six. 

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Take a look at the last six 
years and I'm telling you the 

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,000
next six years of your life is 
going to be like the last six. 

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,240
Or unless you want to count on 
this short list that we call not

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960
much list. 
Most everybody's counting on 

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,720
this not much list. 
What if all of your negative 

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,760
relatives turn positive? 
What would that do for your 

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,920
future and your fortune? 
What? 

55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,000
Not much, not much? 
What if prices came down a 

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,280
little? 
What'll that do for your future?

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,000
I'm telling you, not much. 
If the economy gets a little 

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,960
better, what'll that do? 
Not much. 

59
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Now that the Democrats are in 
power, what's that going to do 

60
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,760
for your future? 
Not much. 

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,360
We got it. 
We could get a good debate going

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,720
here. 
If the Republicans would have 

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,000
stayed in power, what would that
have done? 

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,560
Not much. 
Hey, we could get a good debate 

65
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,840
going here. 
I'm telling it's a not much 

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,080
list. 
If you don't make plans of your 

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,200
own, guess what? 
You'll probably always fit into 

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,720
someone else's plans. 
Guess what someone else may have

69
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:51,480
planned for you. 
Then what's going to make the 

70
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,840
difference? 
You're going to have to make the

71
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,080
difference. 
You're going to have to take 

72
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,640
charge. 
Now, Mr. Schoaf, my teacher gave

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,320
me a promise and I want to give 
you that promise. 

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Now. 
Here was the promise I got and I

75
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,920
bring it to you. 
Here's what my teacher said. 

76
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,800
If you will change Mr. Own, he 
said if you will change, 

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,320
everything will change for you. 
You don't have to change the 

78
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200
government, you don't have to 
change prices, you don't have to

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,360
change taxes, get all that, he 
said. 

80
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,760
If you will change, everything 
will change for you. 

81
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,160
And the first thing you start 
changing is what your 

82
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,360
philosophy. 
You start changing your mind, 

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,680
You start changing how you 
think. 

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,600
You start picking up new ideas 
and information, gather new 

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,760
knowledge, make better decisions
about what's valuable. 

86
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960
And I'm telling you, if you'll 
do that, your whole life will 

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,200
change. 
Your health will change, your 

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,760
relationship with your family 
will change, your ability to 

89
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,320
cope with challenges and 
problems will change. 

90
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,080
I'm telling you income, 
promotions, all of it will 

91
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,800
change. 
If you will change, it'll all 

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,400
change. 
If you won't change, it isn't 

93
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,880
going to change. 
You can keep your fingers 

94
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,840
crossed if you want to and hope 
they'll straighten it out. 

95
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,520
You can wish for the wind not to
blow quite as severe. 

96
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,680
But I'm telling you, wishing for
the wind to change in your 

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,160
favour, we, we call naive at 
best, don't do this any longer. 

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,400
Wish for a better wind. 
The key is to wish for the 

99
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,960
wisdom to set a better sail. 
Utilize whatever wind that blows

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,440
to take you wherever you want to
go. 

101
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,360
That is the philosophy I picked 
up at age 25 and it 

102
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:22,000
revolutionized my whole life. 
And here's what I found. 

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,560
I found it was easy. 
I got rich by the time I was 31 

104
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,320
and it was easy. 
Now here's my definition of 

105
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,800
easy. 
Got to jot this down. 

106
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,880
My definition of easy meaning 
something I could do. 

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,960
I figure if it's something you 
can do, it's easy. 

108
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,040
Now here's a ( (. 
I worked hard at it. 

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,920
I found something I could do 
which was easy, but I worked 

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,600
hard at it. 
I got up early and stayed up 

111
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,240
late, worked hard that six 
years. 

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,720
But what I did was easy, meaning
it was something I could do. 

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,800
You say, well, Mr. Own, if it 
was so easy, how come everybody 

114
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,280
else around you during that six 
years? 

115
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,760
How come they didn't get rich? 
Here's why it's easy not to. 

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,680
How else would you describe it? 
That's it. 

117
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,680
You say no, No, for all of the 
rest of them. 

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,520
It was hard for them and it was 
easy for you. 

119
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,600
That's not true. 
You couldn't debate me on that 

120
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,120
in front of this intelligent 
audience. 

121
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,200
But here's the challenge. 
Let me give it to you in the 

122
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120
philosophical phrase. 
I tend to be a little 

123
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,240
philosophical. 
Here it is. 

124
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:37,680
The things that are easy to do 
are also easy not to do. 

125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,200
That's the difference between 
success and failure. 

126
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,880
So you've got the choice here 
today of one of two Easys Easy 

127
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,800
to or what? 
Easy not to. 

128
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,920
I can give you in one sentence 
how I got rich by the time I was

129
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,280
31. 
Here it is in one sentence. 

130
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,800
I did not neglect to do the easy
things I could do every day for 

131
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,920
six years. 
Underline, I did not neglect. 

132
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,040
That's the key. 
I found something easy I could 

133
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880
do that led to fortune and I did
not neglect to do it. 

134
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,080
Major reason for not having 
everything you want in America. 

135
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Major reasons we're not having 
more of what you want in 

136
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,320
America. 
More health, more money, more 

137
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,840
power, more influence, more 
everything. 

138
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,440
Major reason why you don't get 
it. 

139
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Simple answer. 
Neglect. 

140
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Neglect. 
And here's the problem with 

141
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,200
neglect. 
It starts as an infection and if

142
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,360
you don't take care of it, it 
becomes a disease. 

143
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,880
And here's what else is the 
problem. 1 Neglect leads to 

144
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,080
another. 
Neglect to do wise things with 

145
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,360
your money. 
You'll probably neglect to do 

146
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,200
wise things with your time. 
Neglect to do wise things with 

147
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,560
your time. 
You'll probably neglect to do 

148
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,480
wise things with your business. 
One leads to another leads to 

149
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
another. 
Pretty soon neglect has you by 

150
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,760
the throat, emptying your purse,
emptying your heart, emptying 

151
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,520
all of your chances for equities
and power and all the good 

152
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560
things. 
Neglect. 

153
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,000
What if you should be walking 
around the block every day for 

154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,920
your good health and you don't? 
I'm telling you, you're on the 

155
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,920
wrong track. 
You should do it. 

156
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,560
You could do it. 
You don't do it. 

157
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,560
That's called formula for 
disaster. 

158
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,880
All you've got to do is let that
and a few other things 

159
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,360
accumulate for six years, and 
now you're driving what you 

160
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,120
don't want to drive, wearing 
what you don't want to wear, 

161
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720
living where you don't want to 
live, doing what you don't want 

162
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,560
to do, maybe having become what 
you really didn't want to 

163
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,680
become. 
I'm telling you that's it. 

164
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,400
Just neglect along, drift along,
and it's got you by the throat. 

165
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,400
It'll take all your values, 
leave you with just a little bit

166
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,720
of dust in a summer wind, and 
it'll soon be gone. 

167
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,679
I hope I said that. 
Well, that's it. 

168
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,480
It's where I found myself at age
25 until my teacher came along 

169
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,320
and said, Mr. Owen, up till now,
you've messed up. 

170
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,400
Let's see if we can't clean that
up, Change it. 

171
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,000
All I did changed my life, not 
just the money, all the rest of 

172
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880
the values that came pouring in 
when I understood that it was 

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,320
me, it was me. 
So take the easy approach. 

174
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,800
This stuff's easy to figure out.
Getting rich is easy. 

175
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,360
I teach it to teenagers how to 
be rich by 4035. 

176
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,280
If you're extra bright, this 
stuff is not difficult. 

177
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,120
I love to teach kids enterprise.
