It's IMPOSSIBLE to NOT get paid what you're worth!

The way the market works is in the following way. It's mathematically impossible. Mathematically impossible for the market to not pay you what you are worth, period. It's mathematically impossible. You can lose it all. The market will say, he's going through a bad season, she's going through a bad season. Within a year, two years, three years, the market's still going to come back and give you that money. Now, if you've made a fatal mistake, if you've made a royal mistake, what does that mean? If you lost your money over the last 20 years? Because the way people saw who you were for 20 years was a profile of a guy who did this, this, this, this, this great. And then all of a sudden you flip and you all of a sudden start doing something dumb that has not been part of who we've known you for 20 years. Then, yes, the market is not going to pay the same thing. You just ruin your reputation, the marketplace, you. And you're going to take a hit and you're going to have to come back and try to rebuild that. You can still do it, but it's going to be a lot of work. But if you lost it because of a business decision, if you lost it because something happened to the market, the money's going to come back up. Really, no question about it. People fear that too much. No question about it. If you're still willing to teed up, if you're still willing to go out there and, you know, improve yourself. You know, earlier today I wrote something on my notes that this temptation of falling for a few trap, you know, like the moment you start thinking you made it plateaus around the corner. The moment you fall for the trap of, you know, flattery. Now, flattery is a very dark thing, and it's used in a very eloquent way by your opponents, and you don't even know it can give me an example. So, for example. Hey, Louis, I gotta tell you, man, all these other guys, I know you and Jay are good friends, but dude, Jay's not at your level. You're 10 times better than Jay. You know, you're better than Jay. And I think Jay kind of picks some of the stuff that you're doing. Now you and Jay are friends? Yeah. Yeah. What an move, right? That's flattery. Yeah. Interesting. I'm pinning you against somebody. A friend. A friend. So now you're going to walk away and saying, oh, but he's right. And the next time you see Jay and you're talking to him, you kind of like, are drugged up and you don't even know it because somebody. So. So you have to be, by the way, this happens in marriages. This happens in relationships. People will say things like, well, look, let's face it, you know, Lewis, she's lucky she's got a guy like you. You know, any woman will be lucky to marry a guy. Right, right, right. And I guess what people are telling her, hey, he's lucky to have a girl like you. Him, he's super lucky to have a girl. You can have any guy you want. This is a form of flattery, you know, and then when you're winning, I think. I don't. I don't think they appreciate you enough. I don't think the company. I don't think they appreciate you. You deserve more. Yeah. You know what? You know how many times you see these wide receivers, divas, they flip against the team. With a quarterback, you do your throw you the ball. The team doesn't do this to you. Right. So you have to be like this, right. And understand all this gamesmanship. Wow. And keep telling yourself, I'm not there yet.
