In this motivational monologue, the speaker recounts his repeated failures on financial licensing exams—failing the SIE three times, Series 6 three times, Series 63 twice, and Series 26 four times—totaling twelve setbacks. He frames these experiences as evidence that personal success hinges not on innate sharpness but on self‑discipline, self‑belief, and self‑worth. Emphasizing that doubting oneself is a double defeat, he highlights consistency as the tool that helped him overcome obstacles. The core message is that taking imperfect action is always better than waiting for perfect conditions, as action brings clarity and progress in business and life.

All right, and somebody said to me the other day, Tajay, I would love to know what you're doing. And I said, okay, let me give you the first breakdown. I said, I want you to write down these thoughts. I said, I failed my SIE 3 times, I failed my Series 6 3 times, I failed my 63 2 times, and I failed my 26 4 times. I said, you still want to be like me? I'm not the sharpest knife in the kitchen, guys, but what we have is what is called self-discipline and self-belief and self-worth. All right, they said if you doubt yourself in life, you're twice defeated. All right, so consistency was my source to overcome these obstacles, guys. That's why imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time. Action provides clarity in our business.
