but you're still looking at your dream

reviewing it every day and say to yourself, it's not over until I win.

If you wanna make your dream become reality

the people that are running at their dreams know that it's possible that you can live your dream

that's it's necessary that you're relentless, that you have a plan of action, that you are creative.

The people that are living their dream of finding winners to attach themselves to

the people that are living their dreams are the people that know, that it's

if it's going to happen it's up to them

and they're resolving within themselves, it's not over until I win

Listen to me very closely, winners win

and losers lose.

And there are those of you out there, you lose it, and you don't deserve to lose

you put in the work, you worked hard and you lose it

and I mean you do me a favor

this is a year to turn that around

The people that are running after their dream

know they're gonna have hard times, they keep on running

because they're saying within themselves

I'm the one, I'm the one, no matter how bad it is or how bad it gets, I'm going to make it.

The people that are running after their dreams are the people that are hungry.

Listen to me very closely

some of you are broke

listen to me, you flat-out broke

right! you ain't got gas money

and we're not just talking about money

you've broken your relationships, you've broken your health

and you're not broke because you have to be

right! and I'm telling your whole life is gonna change

If you would, if you would get off the couch, not playing video games

When other folks are having a good time, you've got to have the strength of character

to concentrate, to read, to digest information.

You've got to learn how to become resourceful

You've got to learn how to become creative.

like for real, you're broken, you're broke, you're broke

stop complaining, stop going to a job you don't like, you are broke

listen to me you going to a job you don't like, you been there for 15, 20 years, and I ain't tripping on the job

I'm not even saying you should quit the job

but I'm saying that after you get off work

just like you invested in them, you need to invest in yourself

And the problem is simple, you're not investing in your idea

that you're always looking for a way to get over

always looking for a way that you can break through

and always looking for a way that you can strike a telling blow

and your broke because you not getting the I

you do not understand the I, I told you last week

it is about an invention and idea

And I've got to separate what I do from who I am.

Listen to me, you ain't got, your phone getting cut off, only

listen to me you are broke

You've got to make it your personal business to make it happen

and you've got to resolve within yourself, that I can do this, that it's hard

but you've got to say “I'm the one”

I'm the one to make this happen, I'm the one to become successful in this business.

As you work to help other people to become successful, that feeds your success.

That if you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it

to work day and night for it

to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it.

If all that you dream and scheme is about it

and life seems useless and worthless without it

and if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it

and lose all your terror of the opposition for it

and if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity

strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity

if neither cold, poverty, famine nor gout, sickness or pain of body and brain

can keep you away from the thing that you want

if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it with the help of God you'll get it.

It's not over until I win

I asked him and said "how are you able in spite of all thet negative publicity saying that you couldn't win?"

"How, how did you do it?"

He said "I ignored my critics, I just didn't pay any attention to them, I ignored myself"

because they kept on saying it so much

there were times I doubted whether or not I can do what I needed to do

see, the last chapter to your life has not been written yet

and it doesn't matter about what happened yesterday

It doesn't matter about the things that you've done, that you feel guilty about

if you wouldn't do it today, you're convicting an innocent person

So I really want to be a certain kind of person

and I get a massive amount of chemical joy

for being the kind of person I want to be

acting in order to that, being tough, doing the work, grinding it out

pushing forward, having a goal, going after it, developing myself, being the learner

like seeing how much potential I can actually wring out of myself

because this is what I do

because, because of that neurochemical rush that I get every time

where, and don't let Jayce hear this, but like when I'm up and I'm working at 4:00 a.m.

and I know all my employees are sleeping, all my competitors are sleeping

and I'm grinding it out

and when I got up at 4 a.m and I was working my hats off

because you're wasting your life

If you do all of that for something that you don't care about and this is where it gets terrifying.

You've gotta be excited about the future that you're building

that is the key, you've got to be really amped up about it

it's got to give you energy, when you think about doing that thing

it's got a really amp you up, and if it doesn't then dear God, what are you doing?

There's no moral obligation to go hard and live your life like I live mine

but man let me tell you right now, if you're not doing things that excite you

if there's nothing in your life that you've built into this incredible empire of excitement

you are really missing out

Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality

The disproportional reason so many people in here will not win

let's just get right to the chase

the disproportionate reason that most people in this room will not win

is actually not the hard work

-which is what I'm going to talk about probably for the next 45 minutes-

It's your lack of patience

I think there's literally 300 million different ways to win in the U.S.

There is no blueprint, there is no exact way

it only comes down to being able to factor in the 40 or 50 indexes

input points, context points around your life

and then navigating through that

and so what, what I really want is for people to understand

don't do it like me, don't do it like you, don't do it like Zucks, don't do it like Trav, don't do it like Cuban

and the lack of patience is what hurts so many people.

If you decide in any particular area that you're concerned about

to make a conscious deliberate determined effort to read one book a month in that area

in five years you'll be among the top 5% experts in the world.

I read a minimum of two books a week

the average american reads only one book a year.

If you decide that area that you love

that you are going to master that particular area in this era

of accelerated change, overwhelming complexity and tremendous competition

As you begin to develop and expand your skills and your talents and your vision of yourself

you will always be in control of your destiny.

And I'm saying to them “you can live your dream”

It was hard ladies and gentlemen

it was very difficult to pick myself up each day believing that I can do it

there were times that I doubted myself

I said "God, why? why is this happening to me?"

I'm just trying to take care of my children and my mother

I'm not trying to steal or rob from anybody

How did this have to happen to me?

it was very hard

and here's what I want to say to you

For those of you that have experienced some hardships

don't give up on your dream

No one could have convinced me by holding on

by continuing to push forward, by continuing to run toward my dream

that one day I would have my own talk show.

It's a long shot ladies and gentlemen from Liberty City and an abandoned building on the floor

never knowing my mother or father, It's a long shot.

Being here with you today in this dome in Atlanta, it's a long shot

no college training, labeled ineducable, mentally retarded, but I kept running toward my dream.

you've lost again and again and again, the lights are cut off

but you're still looking at your dream

reviewing it every day and saying to yourself "IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL I WIN.”
