Chapters

Lazy, arrogant, mediocre, or entitled. You can't recruit them. You can't win with them. Lazy, that's somebody who's not willing to work. Arrogant, that's somebody who thinks they're better than they are. Mediocre, that's somebody who's not very good. And entitled. That means someone who thinks they deserve what they haven't worked for. I ain't even got to explain it to you. I'm gonna just say the definitions again. Y' all tell me if y' all got a new teammate to come in the room right now. And I tell you, this guy is not willing to work. He thinks he's better than he is, he's not very good, and he think he deserve what he haven't worked for. We all could agree that dude is really. What? Lame. Period. Lame. That is a dude you can't even have on the squad. You don't need him in your circle. And you know the problem when we say know your people? You know the problem with having a lame in the room? You know what a lame catches you? Ls they'll cost you every time. Every time. You may think they funny. Oh, that's the homie from the same area, he and me. Oh, he a good dude. No, he not. He lame. And you gotta get all the lanes out of the circle. We can't reach our goals with any lanes. How many lanes? None. Cause they will cost us every time. They will cancel Christmas. So the first thing is personal responsibility. We said, a man's not defeated until he blames someone else. I gotta make sure I'm not a what? Lame?
