Y'all know what time to y'all don't know, y'all have a suit looking back to back down, giving them more like the Millian buck things, and its cubbing me through good it. Steve Hart listening to the movie to other for stum, please, I don't join join me in doing me. Honey, you gotta turn, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you haven't got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your fad uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on, dig me down, want and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, man on Man on Man. I just I have to tell you this. How good is the God I served? How amazing is he? That's that's all, you know? And you know what, really, man, when I try to explain um, how I feel about what he does for me, really, the words that I come up with that they just they inadequate. Man, They don't they don't cut it. They really don't. You know. I could say amazing. At one time I even just got that. I tried something real ignorant. One time I just said, you know, God is just super cadual fragilistic as be alludocious. I just tried that to see how that felt. That's that's all the change he is with me. I just try to because see how that felt. But then I ain't feel right saying that, the fact that he's amazing and awesome and he's an awesome God. You hear people say that as it's bigger than that too, man. So you know, as as hard as I try, no matter what I do every day, I'm gonna come up short with trying to explain to you exactly how he works and how he is for me. So I just thank him every day ever a chance I get here. It is it is your determination and your effort. Listen to me carefully. It is your determination and your effort. I think that the average person, and I'm not knocking you, I just want you to hear me out. I think what stops the average person from becoming successful is that we don't realize the effort that it takes. That's just truth. I found that to be so true in my life and my talking to people and meeting people, and people aren't asking me questions about it, and me trying to figure out the way myself. I don't think that you really can comprehend the effort that it takes to become successful. This is the thing that you have to wrap your mind around very quickly if you want to be successful on any level, in any area. The dream is the beginning. Good Lord, let me tell you something. The determination and effort is massive. You cannot be overly concerned with sleep. If you are a person who is always concerned about sleep, get success out your mind. A fit to happen partner is not fit to happen. You cannot be that concerned about sleep. Now listen to me. You have to get your rest. But this was my philosophy. I'm just sharing you with what how I did it. My philosophy was I stopped being concerned about sleep. I got my rest, but I got just enough to get back to it, and I got back on the grind to hop into hustle. I got just enough rest so I could go and put forth some more effort. But listen to me. You cannot sleep a third of your life away and expect to become successful if you're not already successful. If you are asleep for eight hours, that is a third of your day, you cannot be asleep a third of your life and expect to get successful. Not after you get successful. You know, you learn as you go to work smarter, not harder. So as you get successful, you may have eight hours available to you. But on the way up there, I don't see how you can do it, I promise you. I don't. Now I don't. Maybe somebody can come forward. I did it. I yeah, probably lying, But okay, tell your story, because everybody I know that's successful that I've sat down ahead real talks with it wasn't concerned with sleeping. You cannot be concerned with sleeping if you want to be successful. How how can this happen for you? Listen to me. The effort that it requires is massive. It's an all out of salt on your dream. Now you got to make an assault. It's requires and all out of salt on it. And you can't be sleeping. Fight at the same time. You can't fight when you sleep. Man. I wish I could get y'all understand this right here. Understand that the effort that is required to be successful will take everything you have, and when you think you've given your all, it's gonna require some more. The quality of your chill is amazing. See that's okay listening. What is sitting around having a bill every day? Fault? What? What? But I'm sitting down smoking weed for every day fault? Come on, man, for real, But if you took that beer, drinking weed smoking chill time and apply it to progressing yourself towards your dream when you do carve out a vacation, guess where you be able to go. Guess what part of the world you can go. See guess how you can chill Now Now I'm instead of you just driving every year your family to the family union, sit at the same picnic table. Everybody pull their money in to ten families. Don't never pull they money in. They down there eating like y'all eating you got attitude because the day or they side don't ever chip in, And no they down they eating the extra potatoes that are making place. You're not not arguing about this every year for real? Man, they ain't got the T shirt money. You know they got to say a T shirt, don't. They ain't put in that, really, man, so so so so so you want that to be it every year? Or do you want this year I'm taking my family to New Orleans or I'm taking my family see the Grand Canyon. I'm taking my family down to the beach this year, and me and my family gonna go sight see, We're gonna go ride cover the river on Chicago. Me and my family gonna go skiing this year, and me and my family going out to La Man, we're gonna're gonna go out there for the weekend. You know, you know it can happen like that. But if you ain't working, listen to me. Average effort gets average results. That's that's all it is to it. See, ordinary effort gets ordinary results. But if you put forth an extra effort. See, the only difference between extraordinary and ordinary is one word, that's extra. If you do extra, you can take ordinary right on over to extraordinary. Do you understand you have to have a massive assault on your dreams? Quit sitting up in here, man, trying to chill all the time. I'm sorry, man, I wish I could tell you another way, but it ain't one. I didn't talk to jay Z about this. I didn't talk Samuel all about this. I didn't talked to said about this. I didn't talk I have talked to the President of the United States. I've had a conversation with him about his effort. You look at this. You cannot become successful with our effort. You cannot be concerned about sleep. Here's what I did. Now, you can take it from me, or you can try it your way. But when you get through trying it, just what you're gonna have to do. I wasn't concerned about how much sleep I got. I just had to get my rest. And once I got enough rest to get up and get the task done, I got up. Somebody sent me a tweet the other day, a partner of mine. He's someone to see if I can pull it up while I'm talking to you. But you just sent me a little sign. Just wasn't nothing, just a little something to say, Hey man, I ran across this, I thought about you, and I sent it to you. It said no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. It's in block print. He said, no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. That's what you got to be about. You gotta take that dream. You gotta get passionate about it, and you gotta get awake, and you got to get up and get at it, and you got to put forth a massive assault on your dream. Your effort has got to be extraordinary. If you put forth extraordinary. If you put forth extra effort, you go from ordinary to extraordinary. That's the deal. You think it's another way, If you got another way, could you please email it to me, Steve Harvey doctor, let me know so I can slow down. So I don't know no other way. All right, you're listening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Again. We invite you all join in with us because we is about to be ignorant gracious.

Take man, hey man, man past were gonna have to get to you the topta go ahead, Tyr brother Logan. Just wait on Saint Patty's Day, He's gonna be the left call. All right, guys, coming up at the top of the hour entertainment news, and we'll have an update on national news with miss Anne Trip. That's all coming up right after this you're listening show. All right. This has been trending guys on social media all weekend and part of last week as well. We talked about it on Friday. Remember, Gucci, the Gucci brand is in hot water right now, and after it received the backlash over a sweater that seemed to resemble black face. You know, it was kind of a turtleneck sweater that went over the mouth and part of the face. It was outlined in the red lips. Yeah, and as we kept this sort of thing is becoming an all too popular occurrence. Now, Gucci has sensed, apologized and remove the sweater from its stores and the website. It issued a statement, Gucci deeply apologizes for the offense caused by the woold jumper. We consider diversity to be a fundamental value to be fully upheld, respected, and at the forefront of every decision we make. Really Okay, They're certainly not the first clothing brand to create and sell products that could be interpreted as racist. If you remember back a year ago January of last year, to be exact, H and M stores featured a black kid, little black boy on its website wearing a sweatshirt with the words coolest monkey in the Jungle. Haven't been in that store since I remember that? Yeah, well, yeah, remember that? Okay. Then just in December, Prada luxury line, Prada pulled out a line of accessories that resembled a black Sambo character. Yeah, they issued an apology. Yeah, that was blatant to me. That sambo. Yeah, there used to be restaurants in that lake called Sambo Sambos. Oh dog Dog all across the South had a little black face on it too. Yeah yeah, all right, So I mean, I don't know what's happening here. Well, you know, I saw a Gucci sweater. I've seen it before, and when I saw it, I didn't pay it no attention. You know, when I saw it, I didn't pay it any attention. But I guess when you see it now, and if they say that it looks like that, you know, I mean, I saw on Nick Cannon's Instagram he said happy black Face History Month on the calendar. I mean just in reference to all the stuff that's going on now with black face. You know what is going on here, and this is Black History Month, but it's still it's still going on at the colleges and stuff like that. And they've been doing this for long yeah, yeah, stuff. Yeah, And that's not good enough for Tim. He took to social media as well. He's demanding that African Americans boycott Gucci, and he posted an apology. Is cool, but it's just not enough. The disrespect will not be tolerated. That's what um Ti put out on his Instagram. And now, according to a Nielsen publication from September of last year, we know what our buying power is as African Americans. We know that we spend a lot of money on labels. We love labels, We spend a lot of money on everything. Our buying power is at one point three trillion, with a tr trillion currently and is based on gains in population, income, and education. It's estimated to rise to one point five four trillion by the year twenty twenty two. So that's a problem here. Well, here's what I'm going to say. If if we are going to have a boycott, it has to be a formulated boycott by a consistus of quite a few people, because what ends up happening is, you know, we have these things that everybody's supposed to line up with, and everybody is not aware of it. So if it's going to be a boycott, it has to be a concerted effort by a massive number of people for a boycott to be successful, because what happens is one or two people cry for a boycott, then they see you, then here they come slamming you, and everybody don't know. So it has to be a general consensus. I feel for it to be a boycott, we'll get the word he wants to hit him in the pocket because we spend so much money it too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, all right, so there you have it, all right, Steve, it's time to go to news. Now, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Tripp and good morning everybody. Here we are this is a trip with the news. Well, Governor Ralph Northam, Attorney General Marca. This is of course the Governor of New Jersey. Governor Ralph Northam, Attorney General Mark Harrying, both accused of dressing up in blackface, as you know. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax continues to deny accusations by now two women of sexual assault. Virginia Delicate. Patrick Hope says he intends to follow resolution today listing the reasons he feels that the Lieutenant Governor's alleged conduct Larrant's impeachment. The resolution would be the first step the impeachment process begins in the state House, and if it passes with a majority voted, then moves to the Virginia Senate, where a trial would be held to determine if Fairfax will be removed. Now, the Lieutenant Governor thinks this is all a setup. He thinks it's really convenient now that he might actually become the governor of Virginia, so he wants the FBI to actually investigate and see what's going on here. Meanwhile, all three leaders of the state of Virginia staying pat right now, refusing to resign their positions despite being embroiled in blackface and in sex scandals which I just told you about. One more Democrat is announced the presidential run, this time Minnesota Senator Amy Clobcher. We are tired of the shutdowns, in the showdowns, of the gridlock, and the grand standing. Today we say enough is enough. Santa Clobchure becomes the fifth Democratic Senator to throw her hat into the ring. The fifty eight year old moderate Democrat was elected as her state's first female senator in two thousand and six, the very first one, and she's been easily reelected ever since. The New week starting out not so good news. Negotiations to stave off another government shutdown said to have stalled, at least for now. And yes, the issue was born to security and how the US should handle people who want to enter this country. If no deal is reached by midnight Friday this Friday, the government could shut down again, only three weeks after the longest US governments shut down in history, and apparently the White House says it is not ruling that out. Get this. An investigation to southern Baptist churches, especially in Texas and elsewhere across the country, has apparently turned up widespread sexual abuse. Reporters from Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express News say they found over the last twenty years, some three hundred and seventy people who either worked or volunteered at Southern Baptist churches have faced credible allegations of sexual misconduct. Those accused included Sunday school teachers, youth passengers at pastors rather and ministers, and the adjoint prove also found there had been about seven hundred alleged victims and that Texas had more cases than any other state. At the weekend box office, the big one was the Lego movie number two, and of course Tarativ Henson's came in second. This has been an trip. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the String Show. Our Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts formally announced she then, guys, she formally announced her twenty twenty presidential bid on Saturday. She's calling for fundamental change on behalf of working people and arguing that President Trump is just the latest and most extreme symptom of what's gone wrong in America. Well, it didn't take Trump long. It didn't take him long. You know how he is with Twitter, right with his tweets. It didn't take him long to strike back at Elizabeth Warren. Following her announcement. President Trump tweeted today, Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as pocahannas, joined the race for president. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate? Or has she decided that after thirty two years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign trail, Liz, Wow, I told you you said that as soon as I just want the Democrats to pick the two candidates that they think had the greatest chance of winning, and let's go. Because all these people getting in, I'm just telling you flat out, it's some mistake. It's going to create a lot of confusion the hour primaries and all these primaries will start weeding people out because won't get money and votes. But it's it's already too crowded and sad to say Elizabeth Warren is a casualty already. Well, I mean, yeah, it's they're gonna ride her out to Jim Nay. I'm just gonna be ready, They're gonna ride her out to out there. Yeah, they're gonna show the video of her drinking the bill, how crazy it had a little well, let's see, let's see, let's just see, sir, h Yes, I'm not but one vote, and my job is to get everybody to the polls to vote. But when you take your one vote, we won't out vote to count. Well, it's not even time to vote. It's not looking like yourself. I'm I'm already and educated.

Here it is straw very letter. All right. Subject, if you lost your underwear, please call me. Excuse me, you're I can't hear you. Excuse me. I would come into the house just on one leg, but below my leaf and all the draws was in one past league. All right, there's Steven Shirley. Here we go. I am a married man that drives part time as a lift Flash Uber driver for extra income for my No you ain't, no, no, you ain't both now wait, yeah, that's what you can do. Well, he's both okay. Anyway, he's he part time drives for Lifting Uber for extra income for his family. So last week he got on late. I'll get Uber and I don't like my drive and I call lifting. Hear his ass come back around the corner. Would you get let me kiss through this letter? Honey? All right? Last week I got home late one evening after working my part time job, and I decided to take my wife and two year old out to dinner. As my wife was securing our child in the car seat, she yelled out, what the heck is this? I immediately what the hell is this? That's what it says. I immediately turned around in my seat and I see my wife pinching a huge pair of Ladies panties by the corners. Not only were there some random panties on my back seat, there were several sizes larger than what my wife wears. My wife was yelling and screaming, accusing me of messing around with a big girl in the back seat of our car. First off, let me say that I don't have anything against full figured women, but that's not my thing. And secondly, by the size of those panties, there is no way I could have been getting it on in the back seat of my compact car with a girl that size. My wife refuses to believe that a random overlift passenger would mistakenly leave her panties behind in my car. And now, whenever I'm out working as a driver, my wife keeps close tabs on me, and it's wearing me down. If there is a big girl missing some panties, please come forth so my wife can get off my back. What should I do? How can I get my wife to chill? Please help? Well, first of all, if someone left their panties in your back seat, they're not gonna call you. They're not gonna do any of that, especially you know, to get you out of trouble. If anything, they left them to get you in some trouble, all right, but not to get you out of trouble. And how do you get your wife to chill? Well, that's a big one. Please help, you say, I just got to ask you, are you for real? With this letter? I can't even believe that this really happened. And as a wife myself, do you honestly know how hard this is for a wife to believe she finds some panties on your back seat. Yes, she's going to react just like your wife did, Just like your wife did, yelling, screaming, going in all of that hollering everything. Forget taking them out to dinner, because she's probably not gonna want to go now she's so mad. Panties in the back seat. It's just too hard to believe, you know, It's just wrong on so many levels. So from now on. You have to check your seat every time a passenger gets out. That's for the future, but you're in it now. You're gonna have to bank on every good and wonderful thing you've ever ever done for your wife as a husband. I mean, you know the fact that you're a good dad. You've got to win her over again. You've got to make her believe that you're telling the truth. How are you gonna do that, I don't know, but she has to know that there's some good in you, or else she wouldn't still be married to you, and and you wouldn't be you know, you got to tell her, for instance, that remind her that she's that you're a good man, that she's married to a good man. You're holding down two jobs, all right, so you can take care of your wife and child. You're making time for them even after your second job. You're taking them out to dinner, not just your wife but your child. You're a family man. You got to remind her of all that stuff and hopefully, maybe I don't know, that'll explain away or win some of the trust back for those big panties that were left in your back seat. But good luck, though, good luck because I don't know. It's gonna take a lot. It's gonna take a lot. This is hard, and this is not even your fault. You're a victim of circumstance. Here I feel for you, my brother Steve. I don't know how to approach this letter. Poe guy lift uber drivel, trying to hustle up extra money for his family, got in late one evening from your job and you're gonna take your wife in your two year old out to dinner. And your wife is back there putting the baby in the car seat. She shared, what the hell is this and what happened? I immediately turned around in my seat and see my wife pinchion a huge pair of Ladies panties by the corners, not only wearing some random panties in my back seat, they were several sizes larger than what my wife wear. All right, now we got a problem. So now she's accusing you of messing around with somebody in the back seat. Now he wants to clearify that he don't have nothing against four figured women, but that's not my thing. And secondly, by the size of them draws, there's no way I could have been getting it on in the back seat of a compact car with a girl outside. Let's talk about the draws for a minute, because this could be out. See the thing that got you in, it's the same thing that can get you out. Oh see, you let her bring a false accusation against you that you had something to do with them draws. Now they were draws when she was picking them up, But when you turned around, your identification of them could have been anything but draws. And had you went with what it looked like as opposed to what they was, you could have got your ass out this situation earlier. They ain't pattis. That's a car cover. Yes, you know what I'm saying, Baby, they may they ain't patties. I took the kids camping. That's a pen. See what I'm saying. You got to throw them off because if they that big, you got to go with that. That's not baby. You don't see you don't recognize them. That's how comfort to. You Gotta come up with real big stuff because you need them. Minute. King Kong jumped in the car and tried to hijack you while you was driving, and King Kong had on drawls, and when he jumped out the car dammage. His draws got caught on the seat though, then k got to say something. That's all that? And why is you talking to me? Right? And depends on what color they are, they could be a country excuse me, They depend on what color day is they hit black. If they was green with a little yellow on him and some black Jamaica, that could have been a Jamaica flowering been a flash. You got to get this off you. It's nothing new, all right. Look, we're gonna have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour, and hopefully that that's all we got. We'll be back right after this. You're listening to all right, Steve, let's recap the letters subject if you lost your underwear, please call me. Yeah, here's second party, just let which is really nothing we could do about this matter? You do? You got bucket down. This big girl been in the back seat and it wasn't your not believe it.

But yeah, he's big in the music business. Right now, we got coming up more Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this you're listening to show. All right, Steve, here's a crazy, weird, crazy story for you. This is true though. We all know that many New Orleans Saints fans are still upset. They're still angry about the controversial call at the conference championship game against the Rams. So they did everything they could to avoid watching the Super Bowl. Remember they were it was a blackout, they were, they were boycotting everything in New Orleans. Well, one sixty five year old Saints fan went so far as to die so that he wouldn't have to watch the game. Uh yeah, yeah, his name is Henry A. Uh he passed. He passed away about five hours before kickoff. Yes, he died on Super Bowl Sunday. So when his family released his obituary in the New Orleans Advocate, it read, um Henry A Senior, age sixty five, passed away on Sunday, February third, two thy nineteen at one o'clock PM. Determined not to watch Super Bowl fifty three. Fan, I'm not killing myself. Just turn it off. I don't care Donald Trump and the White House administration playing against the clan in the dam Super Bowl. I bet I don't keep myself. I'll give wall. He wasn't very much. Yeah, that was a bit much that he just died. But his family took that to mean that he didn't want to watch the super Bowl. That's how much of a Saints fan he was. Yeah, yeah, Okay, you're gonna hold your breath that alone. Okay, Okay, See what if it were the Browns and they made it to the super Bowl. I know you won't kill yourself. They made it to the super Bowl, but something happened, a bad call, a wrong call, and they lost, and you were mad. What would you do. We're just gonna be a lot of stuff. I'd be mad. I'll because I'll cuss on the radio and do it. I I've sent three hundred thousand to the FCC and the paid it fine. But I'm coming on the radio to cup. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I'm coming on the radio. I'm gonna sending the fine in before I get up that morning. I'm gonna mail it in three hundred thousand. I'm gonna I'm gonna do some heavy customs. I just want that to be known, and then after that I wear about it from now, You're gonna kill yourself? What the Browns or I was killing myself over the Browns, I'd have been dead years ago. Boy, before making Mayfields. Mayfield, I've been back there with Bryan Site and did a bunch of times dead, Brian wil Mike Pruit dead, Ernest Byner dead, le Kelly dead, nws Man, damn Brown. I'm not killing myself open, no game. I don't give a damn if I played on the team and you know what stuff I had lost, I'm not I'm not doing it, man, I'm not doing it. I've lost a bunch of times, and the majority of times I lost people didn't even know it. The majority of my losses in life, nobody even knew. Then I got the public losses. Oh yeah, Oh you know, man, when people come for you in a tacky run, dag got a few more coming. We're gonna be just fun winning. You're still winning. You're still winning. Keep you keep moving. Well, that's just how life is, though. I mean, life is full of ups and downs. If peaks and valleys. Man, if you don't understand that, you in a world of trouble, ain't gonna be just peaks. All right, We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this, you're listening to show. All right, this has been trending guys on social media all weekend and part of last week as well. We talked about it on Friday. Remember, Gucci, the Gucci brand is in hot water right now, and after it received the backlash over a sweater that seemed to resemble black face. You know, it was kind of a turtleneck sweater that went over the mouth and part of the face, and it was outlined in the red lips. Yeah. Uh, and it's become this sort of thing is becoming an all too popular occurrence. Now, Gucci has sensed, apologized, and removed the sweater from its storys and the website. It issued a statement, Gucci deeply apologizes for the offense caused by the world jumper. We consider diversity to be a fundamental value to be fully upheld, respected, and at the forefront of every decision we make. Really okay, They're certainly not the first clothing brand to create and sell products that could be interpreted as racist. If you remember back a year ago January of last year, to be exact, H and M stores featured a black kid, Little black Boy on its website wearing a sweatshirt with the words coolest Monkey in the Jungle. Haven't been in that store since I remember that? Yeah, well, yeah, yeah remember that. Okay. Then, just in December, Prada luxury line Prada pulled out a line of accessories that resembled a black Sambo character. Yeah, they issued an apology. Yeah, that was blatant to me, Sam really Yeah, there used to be a restaurant in that lake called Sambo Samboles. Yeah. Oh, dog across the South had a little black face on it too. Yeah, all right, So, I mean, I don't know what's happening here. Well, you know, I saw a Gucci sweater. I've seen it before, and when I saw it, I didn't pay it no attention. You know, when I saw it, I didn't pay it any attention. But I guess when you see it now, and if they say that it looks like that, you know. I mean, I saw on Nick Cannon's Instagram he said Happy black Face History Month on the calendar. I mean, just in reference to all the stuff that's going on now with black face. You know, what is going on here and this is Black History Month, but it's still it's still going on at the colleges and stuff like that. They've been doing this for long. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and that's not good enough for Tim. He took the social media as well. He's demanding that African Americans boycott Gucci, and he posted an apology. Is cool, but it's just not enough. The disrespect will not be tolerated. That's what Ti put out on his Instagram. And now, according to a Nielsen publication from September of last year, we know what our buying power is as African Americans. We know that we spend a lot of money on labels. We love labels, We spend a lot of money on everything. Our buying power is at one point three trillion, with a tr trillion currently, and it's based on gains in population, income and education. It's estimated to rise to one point five four trillion by the year twenty twenty two. So that's a problem. He's well, here's what I'm going to say. If we are going to have a boycott, it has to be a formulated boycott by consistus of quite a few people, because what ends up happening is, you know, we have these things that everybody's supposed to line up with, and everybody is not aware of it. So if it's going to be a boy how it has to be a concerted effort by a massive number of people for the boycott to be successful. Because what happens is one or two people cry for a boycott, then they see you, then' here they come slamming you, and everybody don't know. So it has to be a general consensus. I feel for it to be a boycott. All right, Steve, coming up closing remark right after this you're listening to all right, Steve, it's time for your closing remarks. Okay, today I thought a good subject to talk about was about I think mentors being mentored, how to attract the right mentor. I don't care what you're thinking of doing in your life. I don't care what decisions you've made. Somebody's already done it, attempted, it gone down that role made the attempt. Maybe not your ideas specifically, but the route to get there has already been traveled for the most part. If you want to be successful, there are successful people. If you want to be a star athlete, there's a star. You know what I'm saying. I'm saying to you that whatever it is, you're trying to accomplish. Somebody has already taken the path. Now, finding these people is really really not that difficult. Now, getting in front of them is where you're gonna find the difficulty. So let me give you a couple of suggestions. What is the best way to approach a mentor? What is the best way to approach a mentor of means and a mentor with means, because that's that's two different people. You know, Martin Luther King was a mentor of means. He wasn't a wealthy man, but Lord have mercy man the knowledge that he could have given you about struggling and overcoming and sticktuitiveness, those lessons he could have taught you would have been invaluable. So you have two different types of mentors. You have mentors of means and mentors with means. Now, if you can find the two combined, that's even more special. But you're getting into more of a rare territory. Now. It's harder to find mentors of means and with means combined, because how do you get to that person? How do you get to the Oprah Winter flees When you find someone in your life or you meet someone, or you hear someone, you put them on your vision board. I want to meet this person one day. I would love to have a conversation with this person. You have to understand something. Most people with means of any kind, like Bishop Jake's, he has a lot of means man. He does well financial, but he is also just a man of wealth of knowledge. How do you get to these people? Well, it's several ways to do it. But if you can somehow find that way, because there's no specific way. Right when you get in front of this person, I want you to understand something. When you're facing them, they don't mind teaching and sharing, because most people of means are great sharers and great teachers. A Bishop Jake's, a Joe Oldstein, that brother that has the app out, the hip hop preacher Eric Thomas. Brothers like that too, and I listened to him man a lot of times. But getting in front of them, taking their course or whatever you might do. When you get in front of them, they don't mind teaching and sharing. They will mind giving you money. See, most people want to meet them mentor so they can present an idea to them and get some financial help. That's the quickest way to run them off because everybody is used to that. Do you have any idea how many times in a week I'm asked for money? It's sickening. But if you come to me and say, man, could you just give me a piece of advice? I usually don't have no problem with that. I got time for most Anybody that wants them advice wants me to share a wealth a piece of knowledge. That's okay. So when you get to these people, have a plan to be taught something. Ask them to teach you to fish, not to give you a fish sandwich. Ask them to teach you to fish. They don't have a problem with that. Now, that several ways to get in front of them. But when you do get that, when you finally do meet them, and meeting them ain as difficult as you think. Now, if you live in you know, New York, and your mentor lives in LA, You're gonna have to find a way to get to La, or you gotta find out when you come to newall you got to do some research. But you have mentors closer than that. You have somebody who's a really well mentally balanced person that you need information from. You have a person who seems to be doing really well with a wife and their children. You need information from because it's all a balancing act. You can't be successful in your business and why your family sitting over the struggling and in ruins is not going to work. Once you learn the traits of success, it filters over into every other aspect of life. So you got to have a balance. You can find these people right here. Don't ask them for money. People want to share and teach and give you information. Everybody needs a mentor. You cannot make it without mentorship. You know, there's an incredible saying, and we ain't got to get into why so incredible. But friendship is essential to the soul. You know why friend ship is so essential to the soul. I've lost my mother, my father, I've lost my brother, I've lost my best friend. Before you can live your life without your mother, you may have to eventually one day. You can live your life without your father. You may eventually have to do that. One day. You can live your life without your uncles and your relatives. But you know what, it's very very difficult to live your life without a friend. It is very very difficult to live in this world with no friendship nowhere. You can't pick up it's man you got. Friendship is essential to the soul. Do not avoid mentoring. Don't try to do it all by yourself, because nobody gets to the top by yourself. There's no such thing as a self made man. You've got to have a mentor. For all Steve I re contests, no purchase necessary. Avoid where prohibited. Participants must be legal US residents at least eighteen years old, unless otherwise stated.
