WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160 I went to Robert Smith's house and tell you a quick story, the billionaire. 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:07.680 And the story is you got thirty minutes. 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.600 No one gets more than thirty minutes of his time, 00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:14.000 period. I was told that. 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.515 I done got a jet on a flew to Austin to his house. 00:00:17.915 --> 00:00:19.835 Cool. For thirty minutes, man. 00:00:20.235 --> 00:00:24.795 Do you know how bad I wanted to sit with this man to get a jet and go somewhere for a thirty minute meeting? 00:00:25.355 --> 00:00:28.795 I was at Robert Smith's house for seven hours. Wow. 00:00:29.770 --> 00:00:30.570 I 00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:32.010 was leaving his house, 00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:36.330 and I asked his the lady who runs it, I said, 00:00:36.970 --> 00:00:38.330 can I ask you a question? 00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:42.730 I said, I was expecting to leave in thirty minutes, forty minutes. 00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:44.090 I said, why 00:00:45.335 --> 00:00:46.375 was I 00:00:47.015 --> 00:00:55.895 in this man's house for seven hours? She said, you know why, Steve? She said, because you're the first person that sat with him for twenty minutes and ain't asking for no money. 00:00:57.190 --> 00:01:01.270 The biggest thing Robert Smith taught me was to scale up. 00:01:01.990 --> 00:01:04.870 Everything you're saying, Steve, scale it. 00:01:05.510 --> 00:01:12.285 You wanna bring 300 boys to your ranch? How do you bring 3,000 to your ranch? You bring 3,000, 00:01:12.285 --> 00:01:14.205 how do you bring 30,000? 00:01:14.685 --> 00:01:18.365 You wanna change 30,000 lives, how you change 300,000 00:01:18.365 --> 00:01:19.085 lives? 00:01:19.565 --> 00:01:27.510 He taught me that valuable lesson. And me and Robert Smith, we've been friends ever since, man. And when he gave that money to Morehouse 00:01:27.670 --> 00:01:29.350 and paid off all them loans, 00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:32.870 do you know he meets with them brothers once a month? He 00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:34.710 meets with them once a month. 00:01:35.190 --> 00:01:50.125 I was on the yacht for my birthday. He called me and said, Steve, need you to join this call with me on Thursday night. Man, ain't no problem. On got got on a lunch with him and set in got in on a Zoom call with him. He had about forty, fifty of them cats on the line, sat online, 00:01:50.285 --> 00:01:52.365 and all I did was give them 00:01:52.925 --> 00:01:53.805 information 00:01:53.805 --> 00:01:55.405 about the mindset 00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:57.460 you have to have for success. 00:01:57.940 --> 00:02:02.420 You gotta get your mind wrapped around this thing, man. If you don't get this here, 00:02:02.740 --> 00:02:12.295 you gotta have successful thought. Everything I think is big, and everything I try to think is positive. And I'm human, I have my days, you know, when I have doubts and I'm I'm human. 00:02:13.015 --> 00:02:14.375 But right after that, 00:02:15.095 --> 00:02:20.535 whenever I think something ain't working, I do two things. I start thinking of I get grateful, 00:02:21.575 --> 00:02:24.840 and I immediately go into prayer. I get grateful, 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:32.120 and then I just say, okay, God, I thank you for what all you've done for me. Let me just shut up and cool out, and then I go into prayer. 00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.080 And dog, what I have now 00:02:35.320 --> 00:02:37.720 is because of that. It's not because 00:02:37.925 --> 00:02:43.845 like, I'm the funniest cat out there, you know. Somebody asked me one time, you think you that funny? I don't know. 00:02:44.325 --> 00:02:49.445 I know enough people do. I got about I got a 100,000,000 people willing to give me a dollar. 00:02:52.165 --> 00:02:53.525 I made a few 100,000,000. 00:02:54.030 --> 00:03:06.110 Now you might not think I'm funny, but I don't really need you to make it though, do I? There's a whole lot of people hating on y'all, but you don't need neither one of them. That's a fact. You know, the fact that I ain't never heard neither one of Lil Baby's records. 00:03:06.535 --> 00:03:10.295 I wouldn't know a Lil Baby song, he don't need me. 00:03:11.655 --> 00:03:13.015 A$AP Rocky. 00:03:13.015 --> 00:03:19.015 He don't he got Rihanna. What he need me for? Scripture says that your gift will make room for you 00:03:19.335 --> 00:03:21.815 and put you in the presence of great men. 00:03:22.350 --> 00:03:24.030 That's what a gift does. 00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:25.470 Now, 00:03:25.630 --> 00:03:26.190 if 00:03:26.510 --> 00:03:29.710 you can use your gift towards your family, 00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:40.605 you may have an affinity for loving your family and it provides a certain level of comfort or encouragement to them and that's just you being a beautiful person. 00:03:41.325 --> 00:03:44.365 But something in your life that you does 00:03:44.845 --> 00:03:48.365 will make room for you. And what that means is 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:50.560 it'll make a way for you. 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.280 Your gift will make a way for you. 00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:56.880 It'll provide your life to have purpose and meaning. 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.480 That's what it means when it says, your gift will make room for you. 00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:05.755 Like, my gift has made room for me. It has allowed me to spread out and expand. 00:04:05.915 --> 00:04:14.955 If you're a teacher, your gift has made room for you. You're an educator. You this woman's been an educator for thirty some years. She loves that. She loves. 00:04:15.810 --> 00:04:24.210 You need people like that. You who educates the children? You know what I mean? That's a gift. So it's not either or. 00:04:24.930 --> 00:04:26.130 You don't have to 00:04:26.690 --> 00:04:31.805 don't have to pick your family over your career. If you're doing that, it's because your your family 00:04:31.965 --> 00:04:34.365 is laying some type of guilt trip on you. 00:04:34.845 --> 00:04:41.725 And see, that's a very dangerous family member. Once again, I told you, the devil's job is to ruin you of your destiny. 00:04:42.290 --> 00:04:46.370 Some of the people who work for the devil are your family and your friends. 00:04:46.610 --> 00:04:52.450 So you got to be conscious, man. I've had family members when I first got started 00:04:52.450 --> 00:05:02.015 tell me you got to get out of comedy. You just need a regular job. You got these twins. You can't be going off nowhere. But if I don't go off nowhere, I never become this. 00:05:02.415 --> 00:05:05.295 I you're not gonna get famous in Cleveland, Ohio. You 00:05:05.775 --> 00:05:10.575 can't tell jokes just in Cleveland and get famous. So I had to go away to get it done. 00:05:11.170 --> 00:05:13.890 But I I I I think I understand. 00:05:14.530 --> 00:05:19.010 You can you can love your family and love your gift. And 00:05:19.330 --> 00:05:21.890 you shouldn't have to pick between the two 00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:25.650 because guilt is the most useless emotion 00:05:25.650 --> 00:05:33.405 in the world. Guilt serves the purpose of no one except the person who's trying to apply it for manipulative 00:05:33.405 --> 00:05:34.205 purposes. 00:05:34.605 --> 00:05:38.605 Every time I've ever been guilty is because somebody, oh, you just done forgot us. 00:05:39.690 --> 00:05:42.490 Oh, so now you thank you all that. No. I don't think 00:05:43.370 --> 00:05:46.010 no. See, what happened is you think 00:05:46.410 --> 00:05:51.850 that I'm all this and you think I now think I'm this when I'm really the same dude. 00:05:52.250 --> 00:05:53.690 One thing I learned about money, 00:05:54.215 --> 00:05:56.135 money doesn't change people. 00:05:56.695 --> 00:06:04.775 Money allows you to be more of who you really are. But if you're miserable, if you go into a job and you're miserable every day, you you needs to quit. 00:06:05.655 --> 00:06:20.810 You you gonna waste your whole life going to do something you miserable at? You ever heard the story of Marie Callender? You're familiar with Marie Callender, the restaurant? Yeah. The pies? You know how she started? She worked at a greasy spoon diner. Clear it up, please. The guy, 00:06:21.765 --> 00:06:26.245 she was single. That was her only job. The guy's diner was struggling. 00:06:26.405 --> 00:06:32.725 He didn't have hardly no customers in it. One day, Marie Callender said, you know what? I make pretty good pie. 00:06:32.885 --> 00:06:44.830 Let me try to sell some pies to help you out. He had nothing to do. He said, come on. She made one pie, bought it in the next day. One guy sitting at the counter bought a slice of Marie Callender pie. He 00:06:45.790 --> 00:06:46.670 loved it. 00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:49.790 He came back. He bought another slice and he told somebody. 00:06:50.195 --> 00:06:57.235 Somebody else came another. Next thing you know, all eight slices was gone. So the next day, Marie Callender made two pies. 00:06:57.635 --> 00:07:00.355 She came in the next day, sold two pies. 00:07:01.155 --> 00:07:02.755 Next day, she made four pies. 00:07:03.510 --> 00:07:05.430 Sold all four of the pies. 00:07:05.750 --> 00:07:11.830 She sold so many pies that the oven she had wouldn't keep up. So she saved the money and she bought a bigger oven. 00:07:12.390 --> 00:07:17.990 She was making so many pies for the greasy spoon hamburger joint that the guy stopped selling hamburgers. 00:07:18.695 --> 00:07:22.375 All he started selling was Marie Callender pies. 00:07:22.375 --> 00:07:22.855 She 00:07:23.575 --> 00:07:25.335 just made pie, man. 00:07:27.895 --> 00:07:31.095 Today, there are over 122 00:07:31.095 --> 00:07:32.695 Marie Callender restaurants. 00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:38.500 You can't go to a frozen food section and you don't see Marie Callender frozen foods and dinners in there. 00:07:38.900 --> 00:07:41.940 You know what Marie Callender do? She make pie. 00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:42.740 She 00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:45.140 was gifted at pie. 00:07:45.140 --> 00:07:45.700 If 00:07:46.260 --> 00:07:47.780 you babysit, babysit. 00:07:48.565 --> 00:07:52.325 Everybody bring their kids, you babysitters turn into day care centers. 00:07:52.725 --> 00:08:02.805 Day care centers making hundreds of millions of dollars. You just gotta get a chain of them. Man, come on y'all. You sitting on these incredible gifts that God gave you and you're not using them. 00:08:03.910 --> 00:08:05.990 Use your God given gift. 00:08:06.150 --> 00:08:13.830 You're have to make a decision because I'm a tell you right now, you ain't gonna live on that job you got. Now if you're gifted at your job, that's another thing. 00:08:14.790 --> 00:08:17.510 That's a whole another thing. People are gifted as teachers. 00:08:17.945 --> 00:08:24.585 People are gifted as ministers. People are gifted as nurses. That's a whole another thing. You're doing your gift. 00:08:24.905 --> 00:08:29.865 But if you're miserable, if you go into a job and you're miserable every day, you you needs to quit. 00:08:30.970 --> 00:09:03.480 You you gonna waste your whole life going to do something you miserable at? Are you kidding me? You're talking about the rest of your life, you're gonna do something that you are miserable at doing. Are you kidding me? When God clearly has given you a gift that will make room for you. The bible says your gift will make room for you. You know what that mean? It'll let you stretch out. It'll let you do things you never thought you'd be able to do. It'll make space for you. Take you places to put you in the presence of great men. That's what your gift do for you. You ain't gonna get none of that down at your job. So 00:09:04.040 --> 00:09:24.445 now that's up to you, but you gotta make a choice now. You got to go live and do your gift, or you can exist and keep your job. That's a choice you gotta make. And if you think you're too old, you can stop that right there. Because Kentucky Fried Chicken was trying to sell his chicken recipe for 40 years. Nobody believed in it. He didn't get his first franchise till he was in his sixties. 00:09:24.685 --> 00:09:27.325 Why you think that picture of him? Look at the picture of the colonel. 00:09:29.050 --> 00:09:31.290 He ain't 26 on that picture. 00:09:31.770 --> 00:09:32.810 He old. 00:09:33.290 --> 00:09:35.610 He didn't hit it till he was old. 00:09:36.250 --> 00:09:47.925 And he sold more chicken than anybody in the world until the company came along called Chick fil I read self help books and motivation books. I learn other people's stories to help keep me motivated. 00:09:48.085 --> 00:09:50.645 Stop filling your head with this nonsense 00:09:50.645 --> 00:09:53.525 watching all the Housewives shows and stuff. 00:09:54.565 --> 00:10:04.190 Go buy the book called The Secret. Go home on Netflix and rent that movie called The Secret and sit down and watch that yeah. I'm telling you, it's all about the bible. Everything 00:10:04.430 --> 00:10:08.910 is I'm on the road now. So just I'm just trying to listen to me. 00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:11.310 You got to look, man. 00:10:12.345 --> 00:10:15.465 That bible is the greatest self help book ever written. 00:10:15.625 --> 00:10:25.625 Everything I only read one book in the bible. That's Proverbs. Because the book of wisdom and understanding. I never read another book in the bible. But I remember I got Proverbs down. So 00:10:26.025 --> 00:10:27.705 he gave me wisdom and understanding. 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.240 I ain't got no book knowledge. I ain't got nothing. I ain't got no degree. I ain't got nothing. 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:39.200 But I got dreams and visions. I know how to apply about six scriptures. But I know six real good ones. 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.440 You need to learn a couple of scriptures, 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.715 apply them to yourself, and go on and change your life.
