In this motivational monologue, the speaker urges aspiring entrepreneurs to "hit go"—to take immediate action on their dreams. He recounts the well‑known anecdote of a 12‑year‑old Steve Jobs calling Bill Hewlett for a job, using it to illustrate the power of reaching out and promptly answering calls. The speaker emphasizes that most people have dreams but never act, urging listeners to treat today as the only guaranteed opportunity. He advises leveraging hours outside a regular 40‑hour job to work on personal projects, stressing that the employer only pays for the standard workweek, leaving additional time for entrepreneurial pursuits. The overall message is a call to proactive outreach, responsiveness, and disciplined use of spare time to pursue one's own venture.

Chapters

What's one more piece of advice you have for any entrepreneurs that also want to get started today? Hit go. I mean, if you go to LinkedIn, everybody says it, hit go. I'll tell you a story and everybody's seen it over and over again. Steve Jobs. It's a video that gets played over and over again across millions of people, but he was 12 years old and he called Bill Hewlett. He called, he picked up the phone and he said, Bill, this is Steve. And Bill said, hello, Steve. And Steve said to Bill, I'm looking for a job. And Bill gave him a job. And then Steve tells the story of how Bill gave him a job, right? And he said, you know what? Bill picked up the phone for me when I called. He said, so when people call me, I pick up the phone too. So I tell people, hey, don't be afraid to call people just like Steve called Bill to get the job. But when people call you, pick up the phone and answer it. And then the final thing I'll tell you is, as Steve Jobs says, is so many people have a dream, but they never do anything about it. 99% of the people out there have a dream, but they don't pull the trigger. They don't hit go. If you have a dream, today is right now and tomorrow is not promised. I promise you, just go pursue it. You know, diversify yourself. Put yourself out there. You can still work for Gallo or Brown-Forman or Coca-Cola. Hey, look, the company pays you for a 40-hour week. They don't own your 160 hours. Take those other hours and do something for yourself. I promise you it'll be well worth it, especially if you pick up the phone, and especially if you pick up the phone when they call you.
