Short motivational monologue from a YouTube video ("Are You Letting Your Family Down?") in which the speaker explains that his primary motivation is his family, argues that one needs a purpose beyond oneself or money, shares that he spent 17 years stuck at mid six figures and felt he was not living up to his potential, and urges listeners to identify who they are doing things for (team/spouse/family) and to stop settling for mediocrity when they have above-average skills.

Everything I do is for my family. And the reason why I say that is you got to have a bigger purpose than just yourself or making money. I was in this business for 17 years, stuck at mid six figures. I was really not living up to my potential. So honestly, I was letting my people down, my family down. First and foremost, I think you need to put it find out what are you doing this for? Maybe it's your team, it's your spouse, it's your family. And really, you have an obligation to do more. If you're playing at an average level, but you have a skill set above average, it is your obligation to do more and not keep settling for what you're settling for right now.
