Common Threads of Success

This is follow CQ in Cassandra Lee and together we are the power couple man. Welcome to this inner circle audio I had to put my radio voice on there in a circle this inner circle audio. Welcome guys. Welcome We're so excited that you're here man to be honest with you, man. We're always looking forward to talking to you, man Yeah, man, we love you guys.

Yeah. Yeah. So what are we gonna talk? We're gonna be talking about today, baby This is a freaking awesome audio this one. This is probably gonna be one of my favorites It's called the common thread of success, right?

You know one thing that my husband I have noticed is that every successful person we talk to and when we say successful person It's just people who have what we want. Absolutely who have what we want. Yeah, so whether it's success in wealth in finances Yeah, yeah in career, whatever it is, right, you know We ask them questions and the one common thread that we consistently find is something called. What is it, baby? Whatever it takes Whatever it takes whatever it takes man, whatever it takes seriously, man.

I have not met one person yet who has been successful Conveniently exactly, you know who has reached their level of success by doing what's convenient. Never. I haven't met anybody I have met every single person who has this common thread and it's doing whatever it takes And whatever Like nothing stopping them whatever it takes man. You just got to go out there and do it He's got a win no matter what so, you know, you know I want to share this quick conversation to kind of set the tone. Yeah as for the rest of this audio man, by the way I hope everyone's having a great day So you might want to pay attention I don't know if you're you're driving and listening to this or you're doing your hair or you're cooking or whatever You know, I want you to really pay attention to this if you if you don't have time to write notes Make sure you relisten to this audio to write these notes.

Okay? so this is really powerful having a conversation and the guy says to me, you know How long do I have to work my business to reach X amount of dollars in income is two hours a week gonna help and I said no Well, well what will work dude, you got to do whatever it takes well What does whatever it takes entail? This is what he said to me and I said to him, dude, I cannot define What whatever it takes means for you, but I can tell you what whatever it takes means to me Because when I have a goal, I'm willing to do whatever it takes some of you guys say yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I'm willing to do whatever it takes like this guy But you put conditions to whatever it takes and I want to let you know that is not whatever it takes That's I'm gonna do Everything except I'm gonna do only this and this know whatever it takes has no limitation To what you're going to do, obviously, you know keeping it ethical and legal right?

Obviously that's the only limitation on whatever It takes but I'm talking about in action in motivation in speed in time, it's literally whatever it takes so is there a Right way of doing whatever it takes a wrong way of doing whatever it takes man. You define it Let's let's talk about this common thread, baby. Let's talk about it, man. Whatever it takes man You gotta do you have to be willing to do whatever it takes man in business, man You know what's more most importantly you got to be willing to do whatever it takes to live the dreams that you want to live Right be able to provide for your family and just do the things that you want to do in life, right? You have to be willing 100% to do whatever it takes right and you see sometimes you know, sometimes things have to either be taken away from us completely for us to kind of wake up or We kind of you know, something bad needs to happen in our life for us to just kind of jumpstart this whatever it takes This is a switch man This is a switch the way the same way you turn on your light in the same way the same way you turn it off It's a switch right and some of you guys number one have not realized that you have a switch there to turn on and some Of you guys have noticed a switch but you guys are not willing to turn it on right because you rather just be you know You'd rather just kind of lay in bed.

Okay, and yet rather just you know, it's I'm cool. I'm cool, right? You have to be willing to turn on the switch, right? Let me tell you something, right? Any look the cool, you know, the cool stuff happens outside the norm.

Okay, that's where the cool stuff happens, right? That's where the they're the cool and great and amazing things happen And it's only gonna happen when we turn on that switch and you do whatever it takes, right? Let me give you an example, right? I remember when I was younger, I got in trouble with the law for some petty theft and I did 90 days in jail Okay, I did 90 days in jail. Okay, and it completely changed my life or at least I thought it did right?

But I'm sharing this with you because I want to really illustrate a point so you guys can fully understand right what while I was there Right, I everything was completely taken away from me. My freedom was taken away from me what I wanted to do You know, I had very limited opportunities. So every time I saw an opportunity I had to take it I had to capitalize on it right and I started to realize while I was in there that I had taken so many things for Granted so many resources right so many opportunities that I had to really make something out of myself, right? And sometimes right it takes something like that to that extremity or something to be taken away from us to realize that the Opportunity is there the resources are there, but we're just not willing to turn on the switch, right? And the moment I was there for 90 days I took advantage of every opportunity and one of the opportunities that they gave me was that I had the ability to Somehow I forgot what it was called, but I can actually work and then come back right go to work and then come back Well, you know what?

I did that. Okay. I was up at every day at 5 o'clock in the morning I was my dad would pick me up from jail and then he would take me to work Okay, I would deliver furniture with him and then he would bring me back. Okay. I was doing that day in day out I was hungry.

I was now going to sleep. I was okay with it And then I'm realizing and I'm saying to myself man. I remember I'm sorry I remember when I remember when I wasn't even willing to do this man I remember when I was I didn't want to do this. I thought it was too much work and now all of a sudden Now all of a sudden right? I'm taking advantage of this opportunity.

You have to look at your life that way, right? You have to be willing to do whatever it takes, right? I mean think about it if you got locked up right now and you did, you know, three four five, let's say 20 years Okay, 20 years. Okay, you come out of there. How do you think you're gonna handle life?

How do you think you're gonna go afterlife? You just got 20 years of your life taken away and you did absolutely nothing behind bars Okay, you're coming out of there. You're gonna have massive urgency, aren't you? Right because now you know that you're behind now You know that you don't have a lot a lot of time left to make something to make something out of yourself Right and until the levels of urgency the love the level of urgency in your life is that high You're never gonna go out there and do whatever it takes And then my next question is what needs to happen in your life for the switch to be turned on Okay, what needs to happen? Okay Because some of you guys are literally one paycheck away from just completely your whole life your whole family just collapsing and you're comfortable You're okay with it.

Some of you guys some of you guys are so comfortable So comfortable that honestly, okay, you really don't have a lot of time left before something happens, right? But why wait for something to happen? Why not? Just take action now. Why not?

Just do it now Why not just decide look, you know, we're doing this audio for you know, we got we got asked to do this audio okay, when we got the Permission when we got when we got picked to do one of the inner circle audios guys. We got excited didn't we? Heck yeah, and what did we say? Did we say man? Let's just shoot one audio.

What do you say? Do we're gonna go for 10 because first of all, we're pretty sure that other leaders got the same email We said dude, one of them is bound to stick and then all of a sudden, you know All of them started sticking all of them started to stick and then all of a sudden, you know We were you know, they wanted us to keep pumping more audios and we're like dude, we're gonna do it Yeah, we're gonna do it man. We love doing this Well, you know, but why but why look listen while people are just doing one. We're deciding to do 10 Why is that because it's whatever it takes man Look man when you're trying to reach a goal when you're trying to reach a level of Success that you've always envisioned for your life. You never settle for the minimum of what's required Never the common thread of success is Always doing above and beyond what's convenient.

Yes, and this is what a lot of people don't understand Well, you know, I have a family arrangement to go to well the successful person who knows about whatever it takes says, okay I will be at the family arrangement, but I will still meet my quota for this month I will still make some time effective Whatever it takes is waiting at the bank when there's a long line and still using the time at the bank Waiting to do something effective making some calls writing a book Recording an audio in front of everyone great, right? Whatever it takes is just going above and beyond what's convenient, you know A lot of people just accept the circumstances at hand. They accept the moment for what it is They accept man if like for example Man, God forbid, but let's say I was sick right in a hospital or something. Some people accept it They just sit there while I'm sick. I can't work I can't do anything and whatever it takes is while I'm there.

Let me do something effective with my time Whatever it takes whatever it takes right? It's it's the people who say well, it's Thanksgiving, you know, there's no work required here No, it's saying let me do something effective during Thanksgiving without minimizing my family time But still being effective towards where I need to go exactly. It's it's about the people who say you know what from this day to this Day, I'm gonna go non-stop. I'm gonna go nuts man. I'm gonna go until I hit my goal, right?

I'm gonna persist until I succeed right? It's that's what whatever it takes. Absolutely means man. It's doing Above and beyond what is convenient. Absolutely Look, listen, we went to Cancun for my wife's birthday and obviously it was kind of like both It was like a good birthday present for both of us But most importantly we also decided to invest into our education at the same time The same way you're doing the same way you listen to this inner circle, right?

You're investing into your education You're investing into putting good stuff in your mind right and taking out the old the old gunk right the old trash the old garbage and replacing it with fresh and Fresh things that are actually gonna serve you. Yeah things that are gonna serve things that are supportive to your future Well, we were out there. We got to hang out with a multi-millionaire. Okay, and while we were hanging out with mr Grant Cardone some of you guys know what I'm talking about. Okay, I you know, we were just like we were just like flies in the Wall, man we wanted to know everything that we needed to know in order for us to just get to the next level right and You know one of it we actually got to be on the show for a couple of minutes and you know One of the questions that me my wife asked them was hey, look, listen, man You know, what would be the best advice that you'd give somebody my age somebody around their 20s?

Okay, what they need to do to hit a billion dollars. What would be the five top things? Yeah, you'd give them right and he answered he said look listen, there is no top five things So there's I'm gonna tell you one thing in this one thing only look listen. Look first of all, it's such a he says first of all, it's such a Astronomical number. Okay that for you to be thinking that way, right?

You're bound to hit it because it's great that you're thinking like that now the gate So the reason why I'm sharing that with you guys is because some of you guys have set small goals How much do you want to make per month? Some of you guys are saying a couple of thousand dollars, man I can get by with a couple of hundred dollars. Look don't cut yourself small Look if there's plenty for you to go is there if there's plenty out there for you Why not just take the whole thing for your family right go for it. Look your family depends on it, right? It's the least you can do for your family.

Okay, there is no shortage in money or supplies Look, listen, they print money every single net every single day. Okay every single day. There's no shortage the only shortage is in our minds by our limiting beliefs that make us that make us think that there's not a lot of money out For everyone right there is I read in a book that if money was distributed to every single person Everyone would be at least at a billion dollars net worth serious. Okay, plenty of money, man You're worth it. You're worth doing whatever it takes to exactly, right?

You guys need to get over this mentality of oh, you know, I don't know if it's gonna work You know, you got to just do whatever it takes. You're the only person that determines the success or failure of your life Seriously, yeah, like do you want to be in the same place a year from now if the answer is no Then do whatever it takes. Yeah, exactly You do whatever it takes the people see some of you are just not willing to do whatever it takes Because you're putting other things of as a priority over your success like where you are right now Oh, but I have to take care of this dude. It's gonna call but I have this no, you don't have to take care of anything other than your success Not doing whatever it takes has is costing you how much money how much has it cost you actually hurting this point You're hurting yourself more and your family more by thinking that you need to take care of whatever is now Rather than the success at hand, right? I mean, oh my goodness, you know that whole topic is a whole nother audio Which we're probably gonna do.

Yeah So but let me get back to whatever it takes guys, man. You need to get over this mental block of Well, that's too that's too much no, whatever it takes there's no limit to too much it can never be too much What's the thing you say, baby? You've never seen anybody get penalized for doing too much. Look listen They say you never get you know, you never get punished for taking massive quantities of action, right? You will always get in trouble for taking little action.

Whoa, this is what Grant Cardone says, right? It's so true No, it's I've read in one of his books Okay, and you should just go ahead and look them up because I mean, it's it's it's a great content, right? It gives you good business, you know wisdom, right? But look listen when I was when I was talking to mr Grant Cardone right has a has a portfolio of over 350 million dollars just in real estate Okay, not to mention his other streams of income. I said dude, you know, what do I need to do man?

What do I need to do and he says look listen forget about five things. You only need to do one thing Okay, I'd just be talking about it. I'd be writing about it I would remove all negativity anyone who doesn't believe in you anyone who doubts you anyone who's gonna tell you to settle for at last Just get rid of them and just continue to keep thinking about it because here's what he said He said man, if you took a billion dollars today out of the economy, no one would even know No one would throw a party there. It's not like it would be an earthquake. It wouldn't shake anyone's house No one would know you just sucked a billion dollars out of the economy, right?

It's a billion dollars. He's not a lot of money He said that yeah, he said a billion dollars is not a lot of money Some of you guys are still playing small some of you guys said a couple hundred dollars, man Look, listen, whatever it takes means look just go out go for go for it Go look like you guys got to separate yourselves from you and the outcome okay, some of you are so are so focused on seeing like a Significant result in your first two weeks in your first day in your first month, right? Hey, that's awesome But detach yourself from the outcome man if you see the result that's a bonus That's a bonus, right? You have to just go for the productivity. You got to increase productivity and that should be what your focus should be on your focus should be did I do?

Whatever it takes today Did I do everything in my power to take massive quantities of action in this one day? That should be your focus every single day. It shouldn't it shouldn't be It shouldn't be oh but Did I reach a million yet? Oh, but no that's gonna come because you're taking quantities of action So if you put all of your focus on the quantities of action Consistently every single day doing whatever it takes the results of that is a bonus That's just actually that's the cherry on top But if you put all of your focus on just the action that's where it needs to be Some of you are like man, but I did X Y & Z and I still didn't get the result I was looking for right you start putting this list baby voice on you start crying about things and it's like but dude It's probably not there because you still haven't done whatever it takes Focus on doing whatever it takes and you'll find that all the stuff you're looking for is actually looking for you Because you're doing whatever it takes. Do you understand I'm saying like this is the mentality you need to have Stop focusing on what the person left and right of you has Start focusing on what you need to do to get what you want Do if you if you pick up any biography from anyone who's successful You will see that they were probably one of the most unreasonable people.

Okay, you look at Thomas Edison Okay, he tried 10,000 times see the right temporary defeat until he figured it out right until he finally invented the light bulb Is that is that it right or something like that, right? Maybe I mean, maybe I'm messing this up, right? But hey Thomas Edison, right? That is unreasonable, right? Some of you guys are giving up on the first shot Some of you guys are getting in here and saying okay this I'm getting let me get my refund man Look, listen, dude, you got to be unreasonable man.

You got to be completely 100% unreasonable, right? You look at Henry Ford guy was completely unreasonable. Okay, he was thinking about creating a car when everyone was stuck on horses Okay, you look at the flight the Wright brothers. Okay, completely 100% unreasonable. Okay, they had the trains at the cars, right?

The brothers these two brothers wanted to wanted to have a machine that flies right completely unreasonable, right? I can continue to keep naming more and more people right and those people were just completely 100% unreasonable I mean you look at Steve Jobs, right the founder of Apple right completely unreasonable, right? 100% unreasonable look guys Everyone who succeed in business a common thread is that they're unreasonable people can do whatever it takes Let me tell you some so there's anything that you can get out of today's audio. Is that if you want to have? the success that you see a lot of others have the people you look up to The only thing you need to do and I mean the only thing there's no secret.

There's no there's no Strategy to it. It's literally the only thing you need to do is Whatever it takes Whatever it takes. That's it, man. Look what how many how many things throughout your day? Are you doing that are unreasonable?

Are you waking up early, right? You know you getting you look you getting some of your studies on right seriously like this is right before you go to work This is work and working again. Are you being a reason look? this is literally the answer to the success that is waiting for you like if you are where you are and success is over there and There's a bridge to get there that bridge is called whatever it takes look listen guys like this will literally separate the people who are going to be where they are for the next few years or The people who are actually gonna get to the level that they want and then some this one audio will separate The successors from the failures this right here this right here. It's whatever it takes man You just got the answer you need to succeed man That rhymes and I don't even mean to make it right this up guys before we leave, right?

I want you guys to imagine that we're all in the race. Okay, every single one in this world Okay, just imagine that we're in the Olympics Okay and you know kind of when you know how the people who run the race is kind of like the first kneel down they Have their foot the gun comes out and then and then it pops right and then they kind of they kind of start running Right. Here's the deal, right? Here's the deal guys Okay people The gun has been shot, POW! And only three people are actually moving.

Everyone else is still knelt down, looking at the floor. It does not take a lot. Getting into the race, and actually placing in the race, is not very difficult at all. Because 97% of people, they've heard the gun go off, and they're still not running. They've completely disqualified themselves from the race.

Look, listen, all you gotta do is just do whatever it takes. And you'll place, trust me. You'll have a place. You'll have first, second, or third place, trust me, it's not hard to get into any of those places. Whatever it takes, baby.
