Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all all soon looking back to back down, giving them like the milking buck things in its tub. Y'all do me true good to the hearty to move to other stoley. Don't you join yeah by radio, join me in doing me? Honey? Do you turn to go? Yeah? Don't go to you. You gotta turn the turnout turns to you love. You got to turn out to turn water water go. Comey, come on your thing at it. I show will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show yesterday. I started up talking about my personal journey, and I want to remind you that I'm not saying this to say, hey, look at me. I think I'm more saying it to say, hey, here's what happened to me along the way of making decisions my way, and then what happened when I made a transformation. It's not so much that I made a transformation as it was that I made a decision to start just, you know, being being a little bit closer to my creator and having some conversations with him. And that's how it starts. It starts with some conversations with God. It starts with opening up to your creator and saying, hey, listen, my bad, I'm tripping. I've been doing it this way for so long, and it ain't really really got me to where I want to be. I know, to some people on the outside, I appeared to be successful, But I got news for you, man, Success ain't nothing man, when you ain't happy, and the appearances of successes is can be quite uh delusional at best. You know. Prince has a song out that says, I realized, in his best disguise, a pretty house don't make a home. That's one of my favorite lines in one of his songs, says, I realized, in its best disguise at a pretty house, don't make a home. And uh, you know, I may have had the appearances of a pretty house, but what no home? Man? It ain't. It ain't where you wanted to live, And it wasn't where you wanted to pull up to and reside. It really wasn't. It was. It was some misery. So the transformation started, y'all when I made a decision, and I was saying to people who have been fans of mine has followed my career or kept up with me or whether you knew, two thousand five begin a very life changing time for me. It started a little bit before that, but I was still in in in some some misery. But in two thousand five my life began to make a drastic change. And that change occurred, like I've been saying, when I made a conscious decision to start having more conversations with God. And I'm just trying to share with everybody how basic and simple that was for me, that to talk to God a little bit more, to admit that I've wronged, that I made a couple of bad plays, and I was asking for forgiveness, and forgiveness wasn't a big a big part of it for me because in asking God for forgiveness of my transgressions and my missteps and my sins and flaws and all of that, and asking him for forgiveness, it freed me up from the guilt of like, Okay, so now got well, you know, I mean what people gonna say? Now? You know, man, if you start talking to God a little bit more, how you how your close friends gonna feel? Well? I found out a lot of people wasn't close friends, and that I found out that a lot of people was around me just for the ride. I still got a few hanging on to me just like that. But you know, it is what it is, you know, um. But I found out a a lot of things, mostly about myself, that I needed these conversations with God, that I needed this relationship with him because it was calming me on the inside. It was starting to make the house feel like a home. It was starting to give me a peace of mind. And when you have peace of mind, what it allows, what it does is it opens up your creativity. It opened up your channel to be creative. And when your person, as myself, that's a creative person. That that's that's that's everything. But it's no different than of a person works well with his hands. When you get free in peace of mind, you can work do even better work with your hands. If you counsel better, you become a better counsel. If you're better teacher, you become a better teacher. If you if if you're a better uh E E M E M T person, if you're a better tech person, you become a better a better driver, you become a just a better person. When your mind is free. When your mind is occupied with toxic poisons, it stops you from being the best that you can be at whatever you're trying to be good at. It really really does you think about it. You can't be the best artist if your mind is twisted up. You can't be the best performer. If your mind is twisted up, you can't be the best ball player, if your mind is twisted up. When you free your mind, when you allow your mind to find out what peace really is, and that's the relationship with God, it gives you peace of mind. I told you the other yesterday, I was talking to this guy in the jim that told me he was a stone old hustling. Now we all know what that means. So I'm listening to the guy who's just real honest with me, said Mr Harvey. Seemed like a man with some knowledge under your belt. Man, I just don't have no peace. Well, bro, come on, man, you're involved in the business that don't provide peace. You're in the destruction business of people. You may be making some money, but it's actually expense of other people. Now what you want to happen to you? You reap what you sold. You know, doing to others that you would have them do unto you. If you ain't bringing no good to nobody's life, but you're making some money, well, how how much good do you think that money gonna bring to your life? You know, man, it's it's gonna happen for you if you don't get out the game. You know, man, it's it's it's gonna go down bad for you. I can't fix that story up for nobody because it's a it's a story that's told too many times, and it and and it has the same end results. But I told him, the only way you're gonna get a peace of mind, bro, is you gotta have relationship with God. That's all. That's all. Now, here's what happened after I started having this conversation with God. If you followed what was happening to me closely after two from two thousand five two, now, it's almost unexplainable. And that's why I know it's God, because usually when something happens in my life of the positive nature that goes so well for me, and and I cannot explain it, that's God. Because I can't even take credit for this, I really really can't. Once again, listen to me closely. I'm not bragging now. I'm just telling you what happened to me that the same thing he's done for me he can do for you are the things he's done for others he will surely do for you. See when I see people as balling, that that's doing well. And when I say balling, I mean achieving their goals and accomplishing things on a rather large scale. I don't become a hater. I become a while Okay, so that's that's possible to see. I look at people who who are doing well, not for hate or I wish that was me. It just shows me the possibilities the power of God. You know, God can do this for somebody else. Man, maybe if I do this, I gotta now. I'm not complaining why I'm at not one bid or at all. And if you don't give me no more, please understand. I can make it like this. But I know it's more. I know it's more because God don't bring you this far to leave you. God didn't bring me this far this leave you. He won't bring you that. He hasn't gotten you to this point to leave you. He has more for you. See, this ain't about me. This is so you can see what's in it for you. God has more for you if you open yourself to him. But if you don't open yourself up to him, how you're gonna find out what that is? And if you're waking up every day, like I've said a hundred times, with the notion in your mind, that has got to be more to life than this, that's because it is. So Now I'm asking you, why would you not take the next next step to see what that is? Why would you not get closer to God? Why would you not have a relationship with your creator? How's that working for you? Not having the relationship? I'm just saying, Man, God change your life. Man, God move you in places. Man, you never knew you could be moved God cold. What you're waiting on sitting that tripping is your career is your life? So you're just gonna plame to the left. I mean, I don't know, man, I don't know. Man, Man, I ain't like I did as soon as I heard it either. So I feel you out there. But Man, if somebody came to me and showed me a way I could turn my life around and it wasn't going away I wanted. I take it. That took me a long time to hear the message too, So maybe it's taking you a long time to hear that. I feel you. I'm same with iss you. But Man, when I figured that out, this show got better for me. Man, and I am we I am because of God Almighty. I have no other explanation for you. If it was I wish I could take credit for it. Man, you know the book I would write if I could take credit for myself. Man, that's probably why your arm don't reach you all the way back there when you're trying to pat yourself on the back because you ain't supposed to. You ever thought about that? All right? You're listening to ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls people all around the world. You heard me? Can you hear me listening to it? Because we own don't need no station.

Is that uh market, The Daily Dragon. You can't find that movie nowhere else but on Netflix. Here another thing, I'm in love with nark Hoast. The whole sixth season of The Narkhoast is on there. And if I want to go back if I want to go back to the back of the day, all the Martin episodes is on now. Now, I'm not gonna boycott which that's the other thing. We can boycott, okay, but it ain't gonna be Netflix, like like say, like, you know, I want to boycott United. I'm with you. I'm with you on that. They dragging people all playing litt boycott them. Okay, we can. We can boycott that. Let's boycott this president, we can boycott that. But but we'll go ahead and try that. But what we're not gonna do is boycott Netflix. I'm sorry.

It's on Netflix that everybody like, all of the un FO sightings is on that. I watched all of them. I love the way that people talking about the UFO. I'll tell you came down. It was right there. I saw the life and they hovered and stayed right there for two days. Ain't nobody, Yeah, ain't nobody letting that go? You got to find something else to boycott Monique. That's all we're saying here. Another reason I can't boycotting the Case of Comedy is on Netflix. Hell, I'm gonna let that go. In the game would just be unplugged. Go look at me like I'm short. I can't let all that go. No, no, no, we're not gonna let all let go. No, we're not gonna stop one the Sykes came out and responded to Monique via Twitter. First of all, she thanked Monique for speaking up, and she said that Netflix, this is Wanda talking now. Netflix offered me less than half of your five hundred thousand dollars. I was offended, but found another home hashtag epics, so they offered her according to one to two d and fifty thousand dollars. She said she was offended by that, so she went someplace else with she should just go someplace else and shut it, which the way to do it. You know, this is a difficult spot for me because of how I feel about Moten, So you know, it's a tough spot. I wish it wasn't happening. I wish she didn't have to be the torch bearl or for all these causes. You know, I wish she wasn't fighting, because you know that it's it's hard when you try to be the torchbearer for all these causes. You know, I've had to learn my lesson. I've done some stuff publicly that was, i mean, just disastrous, and I just had to live up to him. So now I try to be a little bit more conscious of the fights. I pick you pick your battle, your battle so well, and what Wanda did was cool. She found another home. You know, she didn't like the TV and punch TV and get a deal because se Wanda didn't come out and tell y'all what Netflix offered her, not until now. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean, I want my mom shouldn't went on do some business somewhere. Sometimes in this business is it is tough when you speak out against the business, right But yeah, but but but then yeah, but then you have a right to do that if you feel that way. That's a good part about it. Yeah, if you feel you've been wrong, you know. And I hear what you're saying, Steve, But I mean, hey, she felt like she wanted to do it, so she did it right. You know, we got it, Jay, we got it, Folderime, I get ready only just the New Black. It was a big call. It was a big bold call on her part, and it took some courage. Yeah, but she did it. You know, you dinge watch just watch all of it. Yeah, Monique has caught a lot of backlash from it. Yeah, you know, I mean, I just I think you have to watch it, especially with the way social media is. Yeah, everybody's got a voice that didn't have a voice before. M h. And it causes the backlash can be greater than the results. And that's what you have to be mindful of nowadays. I have to remind myself of that all the time. Yeah, we just got a tweet right here to Steve Listener said that Monique when Wanda Sykes made her point. Now she totally understands where Monique was coming from. Yeah, so is it a black woman thing? Is it a right? You know, it's you have to think about all that stuff, you know. But anyway, um again, Jay, you're not by cutting netflick. We get it, We get it now. Okay, that's all I got coming up right after this, Nephew, Tommy's run that prank back. You're listening to Steve Alright, nephew, it is time for you to run that prank back.

And so it was, sir, laugher Lots was a really cool comedy called play was a movie theater. You know how to floor slant it and it had a little orchestra pit. And the dude came down and climbed cross the little rail and started climbing up on the stage. Jay took the base of that microphone and just tapped him in the forehead. Centers asked, falling right back down. It don't take much with the base of a microstafe, just a little top. He didn't like, try to kill a dude cock it back. He just took it that. He took both hands and just stabbed the base at him. Coming up our National News, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Steve, So here's the question, what do you think about the blame game for the government shutdown? Of course it's Republicans versus Democrats. Right now, do you think with all that has happened, this is a wake up call for voters from the two thousand and sixteen election. Republicans have proposed a funding extension. Uh, They're gonna give it till February eight, with a firm commitment to Democrats to take up the dreamer's issue separately and very soon, and if it hasn't been addressed by then February eight, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has committed to talking about DOCCA on that date. This is important to note as Democrats have been insisting on long term protections for Dreamers, young immigrants who were brought to the US illegally by their parents as children. To me, this whole thing is just political position all of it. Once we elect these people into these political offices, then the politics begin. There's nothing we can do about when they start doing this political positioning, because it's all becomes what they want, what we want, and they and you can see what they're doing to get what we want. To get what they want, they put it in a way where we gotta give something so they can give that. But it gets to a point where every time where there is no more compromise. Now we have a government shutdown. Eight hundred thousand people's jobs are affected by this. Okay, So now then the back blame game begins. Ain't point it's it's it's the Shumer shutdown. It's the Trump shutdown. It is the Trump shutdown. He said it on Fox and Friends last year talking about President Obama and the shutdown. It clearly rests on the shoulder of the commander in chief, whoever is president. The blame has to fall on the president because it is his job to bring all parties to the table to discuss and make a deal. He showed it on Fox. CNN has been showing it Fox all in Lord, Fox ain't showed it out time. Fox act like they ain't got the footage. Fox with Fox News all the Fox act like he never said that. They won't play it back. But that's what he said. So we are all falling victim to politics right now. And it's ridiculous because and then the child health health care program is being placed up against the Docker program, So we're pitting children against children. We'll give you chip if you let go a doctor, We'll give you a doctor. But we need vote. It's ridiculous what they're doing. We have to vote. I think the Women's March this weekend is going to have a major impact on the upcoming election because when women unite and bad women control stuff. Let me explay some pillow talk at night with these Republicans and Democrats. What your wife is saying in your ear, you us to listen to it or else Guess what you keep coming home to that unhappy house. When women get together and start deciding we're not gonna head, it's no more. See women are concerned about the immigration and doctor and chill because they're the mother of these children. All right, Steve, we gotta go to Missan now with our headlines, Junior, do to honors today, Yes, sir, ladies and gentlemen, miss a and trip. Thank you, junior, Thank you everybody out there. This is a trip with the news. Okay, yes, you heard a little bit about it. Here it goes. The federal government shutdown is over. Members of the U. S. Senate okay to bipartisan deal yesterday to end the shutdown, and the President signed it. It's pretty much the same as the one rejected four days ago, except that the end date is different. The new stop gap funding measure provides for a period of wasn one week shorter than the other one, so it only last until February eight, with the promise from the Republicans that the issues involving immigration are going to be discussed before any newer government funding bill is approved as expected, both is acting like winners. Here are Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton and then Michigan Democrat Gary Peters. Shutting down the government driving American citizens of services because you want amnesty for illegal immigrants is a massive political blunder.

That then you have their attention. But if we don't have a plan of action, see two boycott Netflix. Do you want them to a cancel their subscription? Be stop watching or see what what do you want them to do in the boycott? Because when you say let's boycott Netflix, okay, so we're gonna quit watching it or we're gonna unsubscribe to it. And how do we know if you're the boycott is effective? That's what I mean. But you have to have something, a point to attach other than that, it's just a random cry for help, and you gotta give people somewhere to go. It's like the uh what you're saying? So she could take that to Netflix and they could say, oh wow, all these people because of Monique. Yeah, maybe we should look at her a little differently now. So if you got a million signatures and it's Netflix is nine dollars, that's nine million dollars gone this year, next year and the year after, they're na they're listening if you have a valid point. But if there's no point to it, there's no plan of attack nowhere to attach it to. It's just a random act, a solo renegade move, and I don't think it will have any effect at all. That's what you have to have if like you know, when she's saying the beginning of middle and an end the end, you know, man like Shopton comes on and asked us for that action network to do something. He has a petition a march. We're gonna show up, We're gonna do this, We're gonna do that. It's something has to be a plan of action. There's no plan of action national networks. He says it, that's your national network. Did you have to say that right now? I mean, he's the most inappropriate fired him. I did not stop saying that about me. You don't want him. We're having a serious moment. I provided an opportunity. You brought Reverend Allen to it, and he said, what network? I said it? What is that important? Right now? But that's moment. But to him thought, he'll think where he speaking? Never is that a question? Carla really undecorated comedian's so stupidated. I have not accomplished nothing but Steve heard you anyway. Imagine that you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning showy uh, what what do you have for us? This is things you shouldn't tell your kids when their pets are about to die. What well, everybody who has a child has probably experienced when a pet has passed on. Pet is no longer like a goldfish or hamster. They don't last long or ants. The kid has broken up.

Man would about well listen, little Cindy down down the street needed some gloves. God, I don't believe either one of you said what you just said. And you know better, Mr. He was a bad gold fish.

The two ks will be listening to him. Yeah, I didn't, I ain't. I ain't hear all that. Man. I had a goldfish and I had it last about two weeks. I was hurt. I told my father that my goldfish, that boy fish die. We all looking at like that boy fish, that fish to one day we have fish to night. You think they're looking at it? You ain't. You ain't got no more. You don't about look at the bright side. You don't have the responsibilities. Wo. You gold fish want to be outside. But you know what, you could go in and try to replace the pet with your parents at They can tell right away that ain't the same. They tell they ain't doing. I killed the gold fish one time. I like, I've always had fish. I love fish, and what had What I did was, you know, you know, to remember that little fish flake food that used coming to look like a little salt container. I had messed around and I had to take care of my fish with my paper rounding pop bottle, hustle, my father, that's your fish, you pay for mess around and knocked the flakes over in the water one day, so I had to get him out. So I went in the kitchen. What looked like a flake that a fisher eat. I threw over in there some pepper flakes. Fish been into that red crushed pepper flakes. His eyes got twice. Say the shock that was on that damn because will over eat. That's another thing you ate the inside out of here there sad don't really pepper looked like white and white. Yeah, so I figured he had no tongue. It ain't gonna burn his tongue, So go here, and he should eat anything you put in there. They will grit. Still. I don't care what you put in there. Horn, Yeah you put it, Yeah, you put anything. They don't know. They just eat it. They don't care. And they died. That's what my dad said. I had a dog. His name was my dog. That was his name, my dog, dog Dog. And I said, sir, have you seen my dog? Well, what's the name my dog? So they already knew you was crazy. So so when my dog died, my dad said, if he did, okay, just doesn't worry. But he did, Yeah, he got, he got. Don't don't worry about it. No, I couldn't. I couldn't crab. Some black parents are not sympathetic with it. They don't care. Actually, yeah, sending a bit talking about the damn fish. I got one more month of work for Star Snow and then we were out for a month. About food anymore anyway, Yeah, that's cold. I come around there crying back. Can't give four days in a row. Hey, hey, hey, you're gonna be outside and can't your house. That's why it's gonna be, if you'll shut up out it. No, I did name King King. Yeah, like now, I named him because I want his name to be a k too o king. Yes. And a little poodle. Oh yeah, get a little poodle. But he wouldn't shave like the poodle get around kinky.

I ain't know how dogs dad, I ain't. I wasn't umber seven. Okay, more craziness when we come back right after this, I know your dog day. We just made that up. You're listening to Steve Morning Show. Have you guys seen Sierra's Instagram post about single women? Uh, it's stirring up a lot of social media debate. Uh, Carlo, you know how much you love Sierra. I love to see you dance like Sierra the whole bit. Well. Uh yeah, Sierra's marriage to Russell Wilson is a hashtag relationship goals for most. However, she made a few people, I guess a little upset with her recent post about single women. She posted a clip of pastor John Gray giving a sermon with the video title too many women want to be married, but you're walking in the spirit of girlfriend and the caption Sierra wrote hashtag level up, don't settle. Some felt the message shame single women and uh Sierra quickly started trending on Twitter. One user who disagreed tweeted, um level up. These types of messages are so toxic to women. Your value does not depend on a man wanting you, and marriage is not the be all and end all. Stay away from that one. H Yeah, I think that Sierra what she meant, she meant. She shouldn't have said it like that. She should have talked about her past. You know, she had baby from futures in some crazy relationships, and she should have said that part first, and then people will probably understand and relate to her where she's coming from because we, you know, we as women, surely you'll agree. We've all been in bad relationships with me and we chalk it up to the game. We try to and not settle and set he was trying to do. She was trying to do a She was trying to do it. Beyonce, all the single ladies. If if he likes to let him put a ring on it, that sort of thing. And but it didn't come off that way, and it came off like, you know, I'm married. Now, you know, you ladies are single, you must not be doing the right thing. That's how the single ladies take it. Yeah. But yeah, and and that's not what she meant meant. This is a question. Could she have meant, don't allow a man to make you just a girlfriend if you want more than that. Yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly, that's exactly what she meant. That's what from right, because you know, yeah, a woman doesn't most some women don't realize this. But you can get what you want from relationships because you're the deciding and the controlling factor. I'm surprised you you decided to stay away from that one, Steve, you wrote the books. You know, well, I mean, what she's talking about, the standards. But if they've already pushed back, what I don't want to do is get in the middle of that and and be a part of the pushback, because you know, I can understand where she's coming from. I think it was taken out of context. And so now see as soon as you tell somebody, as soon as someone hears something that affects them and in a negative way. Then you get the comments like you know, being married is not the end all. That's a dangerous thing for women thinking that they need a man. So I just stay away from you when you married, right when you're outside. Look if you don't want all right, Absolutely, that's what the lady said. Your value does not depend on a man wanting you, and marriage is not the end all be all. That's what one of the women who responded said. He shouldn't respond, Sierra did, He says to those who didn't get her message in a note on the Graham, I was one that girl wanting to be loved a certain way, but was making the wrong choices. I found myself at my lowest moment. I was a single mom sitting at home, and then I realized that the perfect love I was looking for was how God loves me, how he wants me to be loved, and who he was calling me to be as a mom and as a woman. That's when I realized, married or not married, I needed to love myself. Hashtag level up. All right, all right, we'll be back to talk about the White House and what's going on with our government. You're listening to the Steve Show. Steve, So, here's a question, what do you think about the blame game for the government shutdown of sits Republicans versus Democrats right now? Do you think with all that has happened, this is a wake up call for voters from the two thousand and sixteen election. Republicans have proposed a funding extension. Uh, They're gonna give it till February eight, with a firm commitment to Democrats to take up the dreamer's issue separately and very soon, and if it hasn't been addressed by then February eight, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has committed to talking about DOCCA on that date. This is important to note as Democrats have been insisting on long term protections for Dreamers, young immigrants who were brought to the US illegally by their parents as children. To me, this whole thing is just political positioning, all of it onlus we elect these people into these political offices, then the politics begin. There's nothing we can do about when they start doing this political positioning, because it's all becomes what they want, what we want, and they and you can see what they're doing to get what we want, to get what they want, they put it in a way where we gotta give something so they can give that. But it gets to a point where every time where there is no more compromise. Now we have a government shutdown. Eight hundred thousand people's jobs are affected by this. Okay, So now then the back blame game begins. It's it's it's the Shumer shutdown, It's the Trump shutdown. It is the Trump shutdown. He said it on Fox and Friends last year talking about President Obama and the shutdown. It clearly rests on the shoulder of the commander in chief, whoever is president. The blame has to fall on the president because it is his job to bring all parties to the table to discuss and make a deal. He showed it on Fox, CNN has been showing it Fox all week in Lord, Fox ain't showed it out time. Fox act like they ain't got the footage. Fox with Fox News all the Fox act like he never said that. They won't play it back. But that's what he said. So we are all falling victim to politics right now. And it's ridiculous because and then the child health health care program is being placed up against the Docker program. So we're pitting children against children. We'll give you chip if you let go a doctor, We'll give you a doctor. But we need both. It's ridiculous what they're doing. We have to vote. I think the Women's March this weekend is going to have a major impact on the upcoming election because when women unite and band women could troll stuff. Let me place pillow talk at night. Yeah, with these Republicans and Democrats. What your wife is saying in your ear, you guys to listen to. We'll be back to close out of the show. You're listening to show how this show went kind of quickly. Today. Here we are, yea with our last break of the morning. Just one more thing. Closing remarks are back. Motivate us today, Inspire us today, Mr Harvey, I have something that I keep in my um motivational section of my photo albums. You know how you have your photos and they've broken up in the categories. Well, I created a section in my photo albums called motivation and the only thing in it just motivational quotes pictures that people have sent me over the years. UH analogies about success, scriptures stuff out of daily word. I just have an album full of that stuff. So when I'm feeling kind of some kind of way, you know, I just go through it. Man. There's always something in that collection of stuff that I keep that motivates me. And I ran across something this morning that I wanted to share with you all, and I did it at one of my act like a success conventions, and it went over really well. And it's the twelve things that successful people do differently. There are twelve things that successful people do differently. Number One, they create and pursue smart goals. They create and they pursue smart goals. You know what that simply means, just what it says. They eliminate as much ignorance as they can much foolishness. They pursue smart goals. Your one of your goals can't be to get back at somebody. One of your goals can't be to get revenge on this person founding. One of your goals can't be definally make them see who you really are. It has to be smart goals, things that move you forward. The next thing that uh that successful people do differently, they take decisive and immediate action. One of the worst things in trying to become successful is procrastination. Successful people take decisive and immediate action. As soon as you think of an idea, start the process of the action. You don't have to know all the way of how it should go, but at least start the process because you're not gonna do one thing today one the one thing may take weeks to accomplish. So just decisive an immediate action. Next, they focus on being productive, not being busy. That's a difference. Some people just do busy. They don't do productive. Do things that are productive in your life, not busy. Uh. Next they do they make logical and informed decisions. When they make a decision is based on logic, but it's an informed decision. They sought some type of advice to to start it and make a decision. You know, you can see counseling before you make a decision. Number five, They avoid the trap of coming. They avoid the trap of trying to make things perfect. You know some people, you know, I'm gonna do this when I get all my ducks lined up in the road, so when all the kids leave, you know what, as soon as I save enough money. That's a trap. Man, There is no perfect time to do it. The perfect time to do it is now. Number six. They work outside of their comfort zone. If you want to be successful, you got to do some things that's uncomfortable. You know, I've said it a million times. If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting. Here's another one. If you want something you've never had, you're gonna have to do something you've never done. If you want to have something you've never had, you're gonna have to do something you've never done. And that's usually get yourself outside the comfort zone. If you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you will fail. Number seven. They think. They keep things simple. Don't complicate it, Just go about your business. Number eight. They focus on making small, continuous improvements. Remember what I've always told you, Inch by inch, anything's aessentch Just get some small accomplishments and keep moving. Number nine. They measure and track their progress. They're always watching what they're doing, where they are. They measure it, and they track their progress. They don't just keep looking at the goal. They track their progress because there's joying the journey. On your way to becoming a millionaire. You should be overjoyed at the fact that you're making two hundred and fifty thousand, because that's better than the twenty five thousand a year you used to make. Next thing. Number ten. They maintained positive outlook as they learned from mistakes. All mistakes are just valuable learned experiences, and successful people look at it that way. Stop getting buried under your mistakes. Number eleven. They spend time with the right people. Association brings on participation. If you're the smartest person in your new in your group, you need a new group you associate. Spend time with the right people, people as of like mindedness, going in the same direction as you. And number twelve. They maintained balance in their life. There's a time. My building block for success. The balance that I had to learn to do as a man was first is God, second is family, third is education, and fourth is business. God first. That's the balance of life. Family, second, education. And when I talk about education, I'm not always talking about going to school. I'm talking about gathering the knowledge and know how you need in whatever endeavor you're undertaking, whether it's opening a new business, whether it's going back to school, whether it's learning to drive a truck. Educate yourself to it, google it, look it up, study it. That's what I mean by education, and then four business will immediately come into order and have yourself a great weekends.
