I went to the party. lady asked me where I live. As of Monday she has nowhere to live, she gives me her address. If you have an emergency, you can stay with my roommate and I.  I took cab over with one bag with all my possessions. I lived there for 6 months. 

Her father, was a big time ENTERPRENEUR. oHe wned a company biggest parking in New York City. 

i was writing theme songs for successful sporting. my process: record the song, cold call the them. try to get a meeting. then play them a song .and convince them to play a song in their arena. i had no more money to write songs. 

someone had offered me 10k. for 10 percent of all my future earnings. Melissa said, go talk to my father about this.

Father said will you make this company successful? I said, yeah I know I can.

He slammed the book. I DIDN'T ASK YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO.  YOU CAN RUN A MARATHON. YOU CAN BECOME A MILLIONARE. I ASKED YOU WILL YOU? WILL YOU MAKE THIS FAM SUCCESSFUL? HE SAID YES, I WILL.THEN HE SAID, SO YOU TELL THAT GUY TO TAKE THOSE 10,000 AND TELL HIM TO SHOVE IT UP HIS ASS.

WILL VS CAN.  be very careful about the words you say. the words about your dreams and what you will do. 

LUNCH

ROB FROM SHAR TANK

WE DID THIS IN 2016. ( GROWTH CON!)

i was confident. i wasnt certain. 

GRANT- YOU HAD CONFIDENCE. YOU BELIEVED IN YOURSELF. YOU DIDN'T HAVE CERTAINTY. YOU DINT HAVE COMPETENCE.

NROB- CUBAN SAID WHEN HE WAS 12 HE SAID I'M GONNA BUY A BASKETBALL TEAM, I'LL BE A BILLIONARIE. WHEN I WAS 12, I SAID IM NOT GONNA BE POOR. I WAS GOD I HOPE IT WORKS OUT. IF IT DOESN'T I HAD A PLAN B. THERE IS NO PLAN B. YOU CANT HAVE A PLAN B.

ROB- POVERTY IS THE BEST MOTIVATOR. IM NOT A TECH GUY. GOT A DEGREE IN ENGLISH LITERATURE. I WENT TO UNI TO GET BUSINESS DEGREE BUT I FAILED MATH.

my dad in his 40s barely speaks english. he sees me at home between woring 2 shits at a factory. come sup to me and says

i was frantic, pure energy without focus. doenst go anywhere. COMBINE THAT WITH LACK OF TRAINING AND EDUCATION, YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. 

GRANT

ROB0 ENTERPRENEURIAL WITHOUT VISION. MY VISION, AT 19. I HAD A VISION BOARD. VISION WAS TO BUY AN USED CORVETTE. MAYBE PAY OFF MY HOUSE AND MAKE A 1K BY BY AGE. SO BY 50 HAVE 50K.

GRAT- THAT WAS POVERTY MINDED. MY GOAL WAS 10K PASSIVE INCOME A YEAR. HOW IMPORTANT WAS THE IDEA. ARE THEY UNDERESTIMATING WHAT THEY WERE CAPABLE OF.

ROB

G- BUT CUBAN WAS THINKING OF 1 BILLION

ROB- I WISH I WAS BORN LIKE YOU. AT 19 I WAS AFRAID OF MY OWN SHADOW. ENTERPRENEUSHIP IS A SKILL MINDSET, ITS A LEARNED MINDSET. 

GRANT WHY DO PPL NOT DO IT? DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PLACES?

ROB- BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. 

PISSED ME OFF- PPL IN SHARK TANK. THEY WERE BORNIN AMERICA, EDUCATION, HAVE A FAMILY? YEAH. IN ONE GENERATION YOU CAN DO IT HERE. 

PPL WANT TO BE SUCESSFUL. MANY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE. GRATN WHAT IS THE PRICE?

ROB: THE PRICE CHANGES AS YOU KEEP GOING. AT 19 YR OLD, THE PRICE WAS 2-3 HOURS OF SLEEP AT NIGHT . STAY AT THE OFFICE TO DO MY EMAIL. PPL WOULD SAY: YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU CAN FUNCTION 2-3 HOURS OF SLEEP. I WAS TIRED ALL THE TIME! I RATHER BE TIRED THAN POOR. THAT WAS THE PRICE I HAD TO PAY. 

ROB: 18 MONTHS. BOUGHT AI COMPANY. PUT IN 20 MILLION. IN 18 MONTHS WE'LL RAISE CAPITAL END OF THIS YEAR. (MISSED THE NUMBER)

15 YEARS. NEXT COMPANY WAS 20 YEARS. 

ROB- NOW THAT YOU ARE ME OR YOU. OPPORTUNITY COMES TO YOU. WHEN YOU ARE YOUNGER, YOU GOTTA LOOK FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 

RED CAR THEORY. AS IVE GOTTEN OLDER. OPPORTUNITY IS UNLIMITED. YOUR ABLITY TO EXECUTE ON IT

IF I ASK YOU TODAY HOW MANY RED CARDS DID YOU SEE? YOU WOULDN'T KNOW. BUT IF I ASK YOU TOMORROW YOU WOULD NOTICE EVERY RED CAR.

GRANT- AND IF THERE WAS A PRICE/REWARD FOR IT. THEN YOU WILL BE PAINTING CARS RED. 

rob- I'm more worried about his money than my money. I'm such a loyal guy. cuban invested because he had faith in me. so I gotta make sure we get the return back.

i was at AI conference. nvidia. superbowl of AI. its gonna transform everything. ppl have such an opportunity with technology. how do we participate?

100 mil valuation. now 10 times. we think 2-3 billion company in 3 years. 

YOU CAN NEVER OUTSOURCE THE RESPONSABILITY OF SUCCESS FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR YOUR LIFE - ROB

NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM SOMEONE THAT IS NOT INVESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS.

THOUGHT- IS ALAKA INVESTED IN MY SUCCESS? PROB NOT. I SHOULDN'T LISTEN TO HIM. I USED TO LISTEN TO HIM. NOW ITS ERRANDS HE CALLS ME ON. HAVEN'T MADE MONEY WITH HIM. THAT'S THE TRUTH. AND HE WONT HELP WHEN MY SON AND I ARE HUNGRY OR PUT UP $100 ON A BUSINESS THAT HE'S BRINGING TO ME.

ROB- I WAS SUCCESSFUL AND SO MANY MISERABLE THINGS HAPPENED TO ME. MY FRIEND IS A PREACHER AND HE SAID COME TO SEATTLE, YOU NEED TO GET FIXED. WORKED AT UNION GOSPEL FOR A MONTH. MISSION THAT HELPS CHRISTIAN THAT ARE TRYING TO RECOVER FROM AN ADDICTION. WHAT I LEARNED ISS.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING. ADDICTS AND PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS,

 I HAD NO JOY, NO PURPOSE, NO LIGHT AND NO BLESSING IN GOD. I MEET THESE PEOPLE. THEY GO JOY, AND PURPOSE AND THEY HAVE GOD IN THEIR LIFE.  I WALKED OUT OF THERE AND I WAS LIKE, 

2 WAYS TO LIVE YOUR LIFE: NOTHING IS A MIRACLE OR EVERYTHING IS A MIRACLE. I AM BLESSED TO BE HERE WITH YOU. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THESE PEOPLE, THE OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM IS A BLESSING FOR EVERYONE THAT IS COMING HERE. 

G- HOW IMPORTANT IS SUCCESS?

ROB- YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUCCESS TO BE HAPPY. UNREALIZED POTENTIAL IS A SIN. PPL DOESN'T WANT ME TO BE RICH, PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED. GOD WANTS YOU TO BE PLENTIFUL. YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE.  YOU WERE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE DEPENDING ON YOU. DO IT FOR THEM.

G- WHAT DOES 10X MEAN TO YOU?

ROB- FOR ME, ITS MULTIPLYING THE ABUNDANCE AND OPPORTUNITY THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GIVEN MORE. HOW DO I LEARN MORE HOW DO I PERFORM AT THAT LEVEL?

3rd speaker- WOMAN

LADY: MILLIONAIRE, I JOINED THEM, PAID THEM. DID WELL FOR MYSELF. WENT TO THE GOVERNMENT. I MAKE GOVERNMENT SALARY. I CANT RECEIVE GIFTS OR GET PAID. LEAST AMOUTN OF MONEY THAT IVE MADE IN 15 YEARS. GREATEST HONOR, I SERVE YOU GUYS.

GRANT- BIGGEST CASE YOU TOOK CARE OF?

LADY- CHILD WHO WAS BEING BULLIED BECAUSE OF A PICTURE OF HIM RUNNING TRACK AND GENITALS WERE OUT. HE'S DOING GREAT NOW.

LETICIA JAMES, SEH CAME AFTER HIM. FIRST TIME I SAW JUSTICE SYSTEM WAS BROKEN. WHEN I DECIDED TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE, I WAS HAPPY TO WALK AWAY FORM THE LAW PRACTICE BECAUSE I WAS SO ANGRY ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY. NO ONE SHOULD BE TARGETED BY OUR GOVERNMENT OR OUR STATE.
