00:00Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

00:03That one simple phrase changed the course of my life.

00:07And maybe today, it will change yours.

00:10My name is Jim Rohn, and I want to talk to you about the shift that separates the average from the excellent.

00:17The shift that moves people from hoping to doing, from surviving to thriving.

00:23So get comfortable, grab your notebook, and let's begin the journey to becoming better.

00:28Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something that took me years to understand.

00:35Most people go through life hoping it gets easier.

00:38They say things like, I wish my job wasn't so stressful.

00:42I wish I didn't have to work so hard.

00:45I wish success would just come to me.

00:48And I understand.

00:50I really do.

00:51And character is about choosing that new direction.

00:55Every day, even when it's hard.

00:57Character is built, not born.

01:01You don't get character from a book.

01:03You don't inherit it.

01:05You forge it through trials, discipline, sacrifice.

01:09Through doing the right thing, not the easy thing.

01:13Don't wish it were easier.

01:15Build a stronger you.

01:16The world is full of people with skill, but few with strong moral fiber.

01:21And guess what?

01:22When pressure comes, character is what keeps the house standing.

01:27How to build character.

01:29Let me give you some tools.

01:31Keep your word to yourself first.

01:34If you say you'll wake up at 6, then wake up.

01:37If you say you'll read a book a week, do it.

01:40Every time you break a promise to yourself, your belief in you erodes.

01:45Practice delayed gratification.

01:46Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.

01:51Successful people do what's hard now.

01:54So life becomes easier later.

01:56Failures do what's easy now.

01:59So life becomes harder later.

02:01Tell the truth.

02:03Even when it's uncomfortable.

02:04Even when it costs you something.

02:07Because trust is earned slowly and lost quickly.

02:09And the most important person to be honest with is you.

02:15Own your mistakes.

02:16Strong character means taking responsibility, not making excuses.

02:22Didn't get the job?

02:23Didn't lose the weight?

02:25Didn't hit your goals?

02:27Own it.

02:28Because when you blame the world, you give away your power.

02:32When you accept the truth, you can change your future.

02:35Internal strength, external success.

02:37Let me be clear.

02:39Money without character leads to arrogance.

02:42Thing without character leads to downfall.

02:45Power without character is dangerous.

02:48But when you grow your character, all of these, money, influence, success, become tools for good.

02:55The major value in life is not what you get.

02:58The major value in life is what you become.

03:02So ask yourself today.

03:04Are you becoming the kind of person you'd admire?

03:06Let me give you a challenge.

03:09For the next 30 days, speak the truth, even when it's hard.

03:14Do what you say you'll do.

03:16Show up when no one's watching.

03:18Respect your time and others.

03:20Practice humility.

03:22But never shrink from greatness.

03:24Because the more solid your character, the stronger your life will be.

03:28Let's talk about something very important now.

03:31Your value.

03:32Because your income is not determined by how hard you work.

03:36It's not based on time.

03:38It's based on value.

03:40You don't get paid for the hour.

03:43You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

03:46Let that sink in.

03:48You are paid for value, not time.

03:50There are people working 12 hours a day making minimum wage.

03:55There are others working 4 hours a day earning thousands.

03:59What's the difference?

04:01Value.

04:02The market doesn't care how many hours you put in.

04:05The market cares about what you can deliver.

04:08The problems you can solve.

04:10The needs you can meet.

04:11Don't ask for a raise.

04:13Raise your skill.

04:15Increase your value.

04:17So how do you become more valuable?

04:19Let me give you a clear formula.

04:211.

04:22Solve bigger problems.

04:24The janitor cleans up messes.

04:27Low risk.

04:28Low pay.

04:29The doctor solves life-growing problems.

04:32High skill.

04:33High pay.

04:34The more complex the problems you solve, the higher the rewards.

04:39Want more money.

04:41Solve more important problems.

04:432.

04:44Learn rare skills.

04:45Want to be in demand?

04:48Learn skills that are hard to replace.

04:50Communication.

04:52Leadership.

04:53Marketing.

04:55Sales.

04:56Critical thinking.

04:58Strategy.

04:59Emotional intelligence.

05:01These skills multiply your value wherever you go.

05:04Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

05:07When you improve, everything improves.

05:10Be reliable.

05:12Build trust.

05:13People will pay a premium for trust.

05:16Show up early.

05:18Deliver on time.

05:19Do more than what's expected.

05:21Under-promise and over-deliver.

05:24You will become irreplaceable and well-paid.

05:27Keep learning forever.

05:28The person who stops learning at 25 is stuck at 25 forever.

05:33Even at age 50.

05:36Read books.

05:37Take courses.

05:39Ask questions.

05:41Surround yourself with people who stretch you.

05:44Because when you grow, your value grows.

05:46The marketplace is fair.

05:49People say the world is unfair.

05:51But I'll tell you something Jim Rohn taught us.

05:54The marketplace is not unfair.

05:57It's just accurate.

05:58If you're not getting what you want, it's because you haven't yet become the kind of person who can command it.

06:04Tough truth?

06:06Yes.

06:07Empowering truth?

06:09Absolutely.

06:10Become the person worth more.

06:13So stop wishing for easier jobs.

06:15Easier clients.

06:17Easier work.

06:18Become better.

06:20Become sharper.

06:21Become more skilled.

06:23More valuable.

06:24For things to change, you have to change.

06:27For things to get better, you have to get better.

06:31Here's your challenge.

06:33Tonight, ask yourself, what skills do I need to learn?

06:37What habits do I need to improve?

06:39Where can I add more value?

06:41And commit, not to comfort, but to growth.

06:45Because the day you become valuable is the day the world starts paying attention.

06:51Let me ask you something very serious.

06:53Who are you spending your time with?

06:55Because this might be why you're stuck.

06:58And it might also be the secret to your breakthrough.

07:00You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

07:05Your environment shapes your thinking.

07:08Look around at your circle.

07:10Their habits, their thinking, their ambition.

07:13Now look at your life.

07:15See the connection?

07:16If everyone you know is negative, you'll feel drained.

07:20If they complain all day, you'll start to do the same.

07:24If they settle for less, you'll stop reaching for more.

07:28Because your environment creates gravity.

07:31It either pulls you down or lifts you up.

07:34Toxic company equals stuck life.

07:37You can't fly with eagles if you're walking with ducks.

07:41You can't think like a winner when you're surrounded by victims.

07:44It's tough love, I know.

07:47But here's the truth.

07:48If you want to change your life, you have to change your crowd.

07:52Now, stop letting average people talk you out of greatness.

07:56Be around winners.

07:57You need people who push you to grow.

08:00Call out your excuses.

08:02Share opportunities.

08:04Celebrate your success.

08:06Tell you the truth, even when it stings.

08:10These are rare.

08:11But when you find them, hold on tight.

08:14And if you don't have that yet, become them.

08:17Be the one who inspires.

08:19Be the one who encourages.

08:21Be the one who rises and helps others rise.

08:25You'll start attracting better people too.

08:28Upgrade requires letting go.

08:30Now I'll warn you.

08:32As you rise, some people will criticize you.

08:36Say you've changed.

08:38Try to pull you back.

08:39And they're right, you have changed.

08:42You're not wishing for easier anymore.

08:45You're becoming better.

08:48That threatens people who've stayed the same.

08:51But don't dim your light to keep others comfortable.

08:54Some people you have to love from a distance.

08:57Not because they're bad, but because they're not growing.

09:01Choose growth over comfort.

09:03Create a circle of mentors who've done what you dream of.

09:07Peers who are hungry and humble.

09:09Friends who believe in your best, not just your current.

09:12And then, build each other.

09:16That's how teams rise.

09:17That's how businesses grow.

09:20That's how legacies are made.

09:22Here's your challenge.

09:23Tonight, write down the five people you spend the most time with.

09:27Ask yourself, do they inspire me?

09:30Do they challenge me?

09:32Do they reflect the future I want?

09:34If not, it's time to make bold decisions.

09:39Because your future is not just shaped by your habits.

09:42It's shaped by your environment.

09:44Let me be honest with you.

09:46You don't need more time.

09:48You don't need more resources.

09:50You don't need a better background.

09:53You need more discipline.

09:55That's the key.

09:56Discipline builds the bridge.

09:58Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

10:01You've got the dream.

10:04You've got the plan.

10:05Now you need the daily action that gets you across the bridge.

10:09But most people never cross.

10:12Why?

10:13Because they're busy wishing.

10:16They wish for more time.

10:17They wish for more motivation.

10:20They wish for better conditions.

10:22Let me tell you.

10:24Conditions don't make champions.

10:26Choices do.

10:28Excuses are lies dressed in logic.

10:30We all have our lips, don't we?

10:33I'm too tired.

10:34I don't feel like it today.

10:36I'll start when I have more energy.

10:39I just need to wait for the right moment.

10:42Sounds reasonable.

10:43But it's a trap.

10:45Don't let your excuses become your story.

10:47That's why you wish for more skills.

10:49Don't wait for motivation.

10:51Build daily discipline.

10:53Don't chase success.

10:55Become the kind of person success finds irresistible.

10:58Final words.

11:00So the next time life feels hard, don't run.

11:04Don't complain.

11:05Don't shrink.

11:06Rise.

11:08Because greatness is never handed out.

11:10It's earned through effort, through growth, through perseverance.

11:15And remember, for things to change, you have to change.

11:19For things to get better, you have to get better.

11:21Your life is waiting for you to level up.

11:26So take the first step today.

11:28Not hoping it gets easier, but committing that you'll get better.
