What's the chance of you making $1 million this year? Give me, give me numbers. And everyone's like, 0%, 0%, 0%, 1%. There's always 1%. It's like 5%, and that's like the most it'll get to. And I said, okay, I'm gonna give you the most extreme example, but I just want to see what happens. Okay, what's the percentage chance of you making $1 million this year legally? And if you don't, everyone that you love dies. And everyone's like, 100%, 100%, 1,000%, 1,000%. I said, what changed? The goal didn't change. The timeframe didn't change. Why you're doing it changed.
I was at a Tony Robbins event and he gave an He gave an interesting example similar to this. He said, I will give you $100 million, but you have to lose 60 pounds by tomorrow morning. And like, could you do it? And everyone's like, well, no. Like, that's— what the— I can't lose 60 pounds by tomorrow. $100 million. Could you cut off your leg or both legs? And the whole room was like, huh? And he's like, I know it's an extreme example. A lot of times we don't think outside the box on what's possible. He goes, well, would your leg be worth $100 million to you? So the answer is I could. I could lose 60 pounds. I could chop off a limb. What he's getting at here is obviously the motivation behind money and setting up the thermometer of where we're at. We have a lot of people in our group that have various income levels. What's interesting is people always find a way back to get where they're comfortable.
