In this motivational monologue, the speaker recounts a grueling period of 20‑hour workdays with minimal sleep while handling a high‑stakes $35 million business jet (BBJ) deal. He emphasizes that the business world demands relentless stamina and that setbacks—such as deals that appear sealed but then collapse—are inevitable. Each rejection is framed as a learning opportunity, and the speaker uses the metaphor of “wings of power” to illustrate that true success requires the ability to bear the accompanying responsibilities and pressures.

I worked 20-hour days with less than 4 hours of sleep and still had to be fresh, ready, and presentable the next morning. The price on that BBJ is $35 million. This grind went on for years. Trust me, this business is not for the weak or faint-hearted. There were moments when I thought a deal was sealed, only to watch it collapse. And it's in those moments you really feel the test. But here's the thing: success doesn't come without failure. Each rejection teaches you something. If you want to feel the wings of power, you have to learn how to carry the weight of it too.
