good morning good morning Big B coming to you Monday morning how you doing what can work today listen you might feel like a lot of people out there including myself to be honest with you which direction do I go you might be feeling confused you might be feeling anxious you might be feeling lazy you might be feeling upset too angry but mainly lost I went through all these emotions and the truth is it's not a simple world you know you have you were set up for years and what is it you were doing maybe you owned a business that got completely wiped out maybe you're in a job that you got let go or temporarily laid off for three months yeah right it's done maybe you just don't know what to do with yourself because you got so good at your job or you got so good at your company that you don't know how to prospect and you don't know that skill which is getting yourself into something new so here's a few piece of advice that I gave to myself and I'm gonna give to you number one is this is not vacation time we had our time we had our quarantine we stayed in our houses it was very nice we were blessed with all kinds of family time that time is over okay between from Monday and Friday it is hustle time it is grind time so what does that mean practically hustle and grind what does that mean practically first of all showing up is half the battle when you show up you already are ahead of 75% of the people out there because most people are still sleeping most people are still in quarantine in their brain all right and you have an opportunity right now where you could start moving ahead of them so what does that mean practically let's start as if let's start as if you've lost your job okay we're going to start from there if you lost your job there's competitors that are in your space that most likely are still open my suggestion is pick up the phone and call those competitors you are a huge asset you're a huge asset to those people that are in the same line of work of work that you are because you have a tremendous amount of knowledge start networking with those people and try to get yourself into a job try to get yourself into a career try to get yourself out of your house that's something very important as well I'm walking thing because I want to be outside as much as humanly possible now let's say you're a business owner what do you do like me I'm walking to the office today baby I'm meeting with my team you know we're not 15 people anymore I'm not gonna lie we've got hit really really hard we're down to less than half a dozen but I'm gonna meet with them today we're gonna figure this thing out we're gonna figure out the direction we're going and we're gonna figure out how we're gonna move forward we're gonna figure out how we are gonna make it rain and you got to do the same thing all right this morning where you going I said I'm going to work I'm going to the office I've been home for three months I'm gonna work she said good luck and go get him tiger so the point is you're a business owner figure it out you can't sell the same product that used to sell figure out how to sell a new product figure out how to sell a new industry figure out how to use your resources figure out how to use your team but to die in apathy is a sin look at these people look at them chillin 5b yeah don't be like those guys waiting for something to happen five people standing around there on payroll they don't care they get paid by the city you don't and if you are getting paid by the city its temporary just because the city just because the city or your government is paying you money today doesn't mean they're gonna pay you money tomorrow and you got to figure out how to make it work on your own and not be spoon-fed we're on in school anymore we're not in kindergarten anymore we're not in high school anymore you're a big boy and a big girl and it's time for you to get your butt off up off the couch and go do something and I want to say by the way it's okay to feel lost it's okay to feel disoriented we literally were all messed up from this thing we're all messed up from this thing don't think that I wasn't messed up either but the question is is what we gonna do about it are we gonna sit around and blame cómo blame Trump blame this one blame that one blame China doesn't get you anywhere let everybody else blame them you and I are gonna move forward you and I are gonna go strong you and I are gonna rebuild we're gonna rebuild greater than we ever built before but it starts with getting up in the morning and it starts at the routine and it starts with not giving up not giving up I want to emphasize this if there's one thing in the video that I really want emphasize it's okay to feel lost we're all walking a tightrope when we've got pushed off and we all fell into the ocean that's okay but guess what there's a shore and we could swim to it I hope you have a great day hope you have a great week hope you have a great Monday it's okay to be lost for a little bit but the way to get lost unlost is to get up just start finding your way and today is the first day for that god bless I hope this brought you value
