  • the number One question that I'm asked everywhere I go around the world is always How is it that I stay so motivated?

  • What are the motivating factors in my life that keep me in this psychological space?

  • Um, number one will be gratitude.

  • I try and find a way to be grateful for every single thing I have.

  • Every single day wins losses, loved ones, you name it.

  • My life wasn't always this way.

  • It was much different many moons ago.

  • So these days, I am grateful to the bone for everything.

  • The other thing is hunger.

  • You always hear people say, Well, it's about being number one about being at the top.

  • Or how about this?

  • You always gonna find somebody out there is gonna work harder?

  • Well, I don't know that that might be bullshit, but I know no one is gonna be hungrier than I am.

  • Uh, and I try and find a way to be grateful, so I hope that helps.

  • I know what it's like to operate every single day, regardless of the success that I've been a lucky son of a bitch to achieve.

  • I operate every day is if I'm starving, so keep starting at four o'clock in the morning is when no one else is up.

  • So no one else is bothering you, and you could focus on whatever work you have to get done.
