You've Got to DO SOMETHING! - Joe Rogan

Well when I was 21 and I was first starting Duke comedy, that's when I was really devouring as much of it as possible. Because I was trying to figure out how to not be so lazy, how to be motivated, how to get shit done, and how to find the correct path and think about things correctly. And so that's when I really got into the info process. So it's like the mind exercise. Yeah. I would follow all this personal power, like you had workshops that you would do, like notebooks and shit. Fill out and things to talk about and things to concentrate on. Like if you did do it, it would help you. But really what it's all about is just getting your shit together and moving. Just go do something. Like what you did by taking a job when you would show up at a gig and you'd be working there Tuesday through Sunday and then take a day job and work 9 to 5. That is more hustle and more hustle mindset than anything you're ever going to get out of an Anthony Robbins book. Like that is like just doing it. Just doing it makes you do more. Like do more hard shit makes you do more hard shit. Understand that you want it bad so you're willing to put into work and do things you don't want to do. It's what makes you have that confidence that you know how to push through. And the mentality that I'm the type of dude to get shit done. Like I'm not going to waste my day just sitting around a fucking hotel room. No, I'm going to go to work. I'm going to work all day. I'm going to drive 5 hours and keep that radio gig. And then drive 5 hours and spend 10 hours of the fucking 24 in a day in a goddamn car to do gigs. Forward focus. Just to do gigs. Keep that radio gig. Those things are every... Like I had a guy on yesterday, this guy Dan Crenshaw. He's a congressman. He's also a Navy SEAL. We're talking about mentality. I'm like when you went through BUDDS, do they teach you how to think or do they show you by example? They don't teach you how to think. They just show you. They harden you through all that work and through all that work through that insane hell week. All the shit that you have to do when you go into BUDDS training. The 6 months of breaking you down and building you back up. They teach you you can do anything. Just by making you do anything. So you will understand how you can pass your limits. What you thought your limits were are no longer your limits. That's what I feel like is missing from a lot of people that are getting into motivational this, motivational that. They ain't doing shit. You got to go do something. That's the number one thing. Right? It's fucking action. Take action. Do you believe that people that aren't as successful as you think they should be are qualified to be motivational speakers? No. No. Most people who are doing motivational speaking should stop. They should stop. You're just robbing people. You're not even motivated yourself. Like I want to say I want to wake you up at three o'clock in the morning. Go. Come on, man. We're going running like I'm going to see I want to see what you do when you're tired. Let me see how you push yourself. Come on, man. Get up. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. Get up again tomorrow. The next day. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Keep going. How long can you maintain a positive attitude? Where's all this teaching? You're teaching people. You can't do shit yourself. You need to show people that you could do it. The best motivational speakers to me are guys like David Goggins because that guy that's in that fucking coin right there. That guy does it every day and he's got videos. He just did a hundred mile race the other day. Put up the results on Instagram. You can see him showing up 22 hours after the race starts. He finishes a hundred miles like those type of people. Those are motor. Have you ever seen Goggins is Instagram page, but this is insane. Bro, he's a fucking animal. It's my fucking got abs on a coin. He's an animal. You chiseled him. He's got the world record chin ups in 24 hours. He did some preposterous number of chin ups. What's that? I believe he was beat recently. Somebody beat him. I think so. What a savage. Not for long. Yeah, he'll probably come back. Yeah, he's but it's those type of people. Those are real motivational speakers because they're actually doing something. There's a lot of people that are teaching you motivation. They don't have a business. They don't. They're not their business is motivation. Like it's a weird business. It's like, yeah, it's like teaching someone how to drive a race car. You never drove one.
