Fall in love with the pursuit not the outcome. You’ll never arrive because the destination is always evolving. Base your goals on values and work hard to support those values. Don’t get overly obsessed with money because enough will never be enough. Keep the Lord Creator of all the worlds first!
It’s the journey 🤎 these guys I feel are missing out on the most important parts of what they have created
Love this
Elaborate on how to enjoy the journey many say the expression but never explain
Excellent conversation!!!!
I’m inside nearly every weekend, working. I don’t listen to music very often because I’m watching/listening to EYL, Myron Golden, Robert Smith/Magic Johnson/Rick Ross interviews, watching some business show and my list goes on and on… I don’t say this to gain pity but this is a chosen lifestyle while I build my agency. I just went statewide with my agency, gained a major VC partner and a major platform to go national as a BLACK WOMAN. We always talk about how we don’t get the same opportunities but we have to create them with our work ethic!Most nights I have to force myself to close the computer or the Bible and go to sleep. At 40 years old there is no more time to play around- being everything God has called me to be is the only option!!
Yes Ma’am! Grind state, it’s a state of mind. Grind over shine ❤
“No other success can compensate for failure in the home.”
But let’s not normalize that this is Healthy!!!!
"You gotta be able to love the grind, love work _more_ than your family. You gotta not be home. You kids will never see you. Your family is the money you earn
Everybodies definition of balance and success is different!
This is facts but unfortunately this video will get a lot of thumbs up but only because you're preaching to the choir. In reality this is extremely hard to explain to loved ones. They don't understand why you can't "just come to bed", or "just do what you have to in this particular time slot." Lol im like dude my suppliers are half way around the world, the time you want me not doing anything they're up. Lol until im rich i need to be on their schedule not the other way around.
Right✨
can I become your prodigy? An u be my mentor
When you seek balance goals are attained. Seeking balance breeds success.
I’m so glad this popped up on my feed, I really needed to hear this. I’ve gotten too comfortable, it’s time to get hungry again and sacrifice what I need to so I can achieve greatness. Thank you brothers 🙏🏽
🔥🔥🔥 same here
As a lady musician and single mom for most of my adult life, the sacrifices I made 20 yrs ago are still paying off - it was hard to explain to family and friends that I needed to miss events but I have no regrets... I think I'm hungrier now than I was as a youth. Thanks for doing what you do!
🔥🔥
Hi, wym hungrier now? Why? Isn't the goal to be living balanced now, and actually make it to the events now?
@@lildony1that's what I thought too 😅
Thank y'all confirmation to go harder and stay focused!
Only 2 mins in, but gotta say, before you communicate that you're sacrificing time with your people because you're "doing it for them" - you need to understand if they even want/need what you provide.
Some people just need time spent with one another. You need to know what others want instead of assuming you know what they want.
Flip side - maybe their wants aren't ideal, and if you can rationalise it for them, then good for you.
Great video as always, wish the best for eveyone!
14:56 Work hard, get money>> family. If you want to be like Steve Jobs, you have to be a deadbeat to your own kids like Steve Jobs
“In 2015 I was on the couch….” Thanks for sharing your story🙏🏾
You can have Work Life Balance/Integration it depends on youre desires. You can not have alot of money and work really hard vice versa. On your death bed what would be your biggest regrets. A Uhaul doesn't go to the grave. You can live modest with all you needs. Alot of your wants and desires. And make time for special events self care family friends etc. Its all about choices. Their are unhappy Billionaires too.
This is definitely a personal choice. But absolutely agree with your point. Been on my grind 17 yrs building a business and realized a work/work/work 24/7 grind was recipe for early grave. Still grinding but I’ve pulled back juuuuuuust enough to make time to stay healthy, have some fun and for family quality time. Means it might take longer to get to the mountaintop, but I’m happier than I was before. So I’m good with it
I 100% agree with this message a few years ago I bought my first house in that process my friends did not understand why I was living an unbalanced life by not going out, putting in overtime, and limiting my spending, a few more home purchases later and I would say it was worth it. I'm in the process of building my youtube channel, I hope in the future my efforts pay off like my real estate did.
This is the most truthful perspective & I’m not even done the video. Ppl never under understand this. We’ve been lied to/brainwashed for YEARS thinking we could “do/have it all”. You continually have to work at things and no person in their success would admit there “balanced” in their lifestyle. Men especially understand this as we were created to chase purpose.
Had to pick up a side hustle again while my wife was on maternity leave. Was too proud to call my man to ask for work. But that's when I heard the drink champs interview where Tony Yayo said 'The boss will never call. you have to call the boss" And even if we're partners, he got the work, so I called. And my wife didn't have to complain about anything. Sacrifice is hard. But a peace of mind will trump that any day.
This brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons first it’s the first I’ve ever seen on this topic and 2nd I’ve been so confused about having balance etc because I have always been the one going hard pursuing my dreams and for over 10 years now I’ve pretty much shut tv off and people think I’m crazy and the feel I’m punishing myself but I feel like it’s allowing me to focus and not allow all the outside influences to permeate my brain. Anyway, lately I’ve been saying ok I have to have a balanced life because 24/7 I’m consumed with achieving my dreams and goals & never doing anything fun. Seeing this today was such a blessing. Im glad I stumbled upon you guys. Kudos
This is valuable content and perspective to share. Apply what you can from this and that which doesn't apply to your life, don't apply.
These types of conversations are invigorating.. thanks gents. I cant let myself get comfortable..
Thank y’all so much for having this conversation. So many of us have this “idea” of what success is but have no idea the level of delusion it takes to get there. You gotta be some kinda crazy.
I got this on repeat. This needs to be named one of the top 5 videos. Keep doing what you doing family. #WHATISBALANCE
I’m glad I just watched this. I was trying to achieve Balance , when whole time my times of unbalanced put me in better situations . Communicating with your kids and their mothers usually be the hard issue and spending time with family. I really needed this no bap 💯
Thanks....People just don't know the sacrifice and what goes on behind the hard work for a better life.
I absolutely love Ian and his bluntness we need more realistic men like him! #IanForPresident
Love the dialogue here.. but also believe this is a very complex subject. success is very relative. Some may define success as working a 9-5 but yet still having time for family at the end of day. Some see success as traveling for business deals across country without family. I dont think either one is right or wrong; I think we should decide which works best for our situation and love ones and strive to become better at that. What makes us more fulfilled should be the goal! But overall good convo!!
Exactly , for me having money to travel and having the liberty to spend time as much time as possible with the family is the most important thing
when chatting is your business model eventually you'll chat for content, cool channel I liked the episode with Shetellia Irving
I needed this. Thank you, gentlemen. Forever grateful. 🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽
On the journey of being in the state of success, you have to go through trials and tribulations. I've been learning on my journey that success requires growth. The growth definitely doesn't feel balanced. Sometimes it's just plain ugly haha. However, it's worth it everytime. For me, it started with the desire and the faith in God to manifest that desire. To this day I am still holding on to God's unchanging hand and life is getting better and better.
Balance is in part specific any individual. Balance is the point in which internally your able to sate your internal needs and achieve the results you want.
If true knowledge is the knowledge of self, at all points in time, your simply striving to reach better balance. Focusing on externally finding balance anywhere except internally seems ultimately like a dead mission.
Finding joy in pursuing your desires seems like a good internal balance point.
I need to wake up to this clip every morning.
Excellent content brothers.... love from Canada.
We all assume we know the answers for one’s life everyone wants to be the sorcerer and the overseer of life let people live.. success is balance, what you’re talking about is accumulating an abundance of assets.. that’s physical success but real success finding balance within your world of achievements and goals
You guys are like the older brothers I never had. Y’all care so much it’s crazy man. All love to you guys. Thee most relevant.
This podcast, Nice and Neat, and ET is all you need!
Thank the mother of your child for allowing you to have that time to yourself.
Thank you for this message. This is what I needed to hear today. You brothers stay blessed.
The youngers need you more than the money you provide and at some point your spouse will eventually give up after years of sacrificed quality time.
You have to sacrifice something to achieve that balance, its a fouble adged sword, something has to give eventually.
Is interesting because I always think about the fact that I don’t go out and network or engage because I’m constantly in pursuit of success with in my business. The most rewarding part of the sacrifices that I’ve made are my children high age and college said to me on a ride to New York one evening, the biggest take away about what I showed and they learned was sacrifice. They have seen me at low points and high points but I never let them feel it but they did when we went 10 months homeless and no one knew because I kept pushing and now back even better and grateful!
Sidebar most of the sacrifices that I mean were so I didn’t miss a beat to their education I even homeschool them at one point in addition to that they’ve played sports for the past 15 years and continue to in college and I still have always been at 90% of everyone’s event. For me, I could work seven days a week if I have to as long as I’m able to get to those important things so there is a Sacrifice on both ends that we make it’s how we look at it and get through it.
I watch this every other day. Very motivating
So much wisdom. I've been through it. It's dope to see the fruits of your labor grow.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I needed to hear this message and I am tremendously GRATEFUL 🙏❤️
This is the best explanation of balance I have ever heard! Thank you for sharing! ! 100%
Great conversation that need to be had so we all can hear. Our loved ones won't understand right now
Real man talk, wisdom for women and men. It's the really of life. Real Talk. Thanks Brothers🎉🎉🎉
The hardest part of this in entrepreneurship is when your sacrificing time away from your family but their still no rewards to show for these sacrifices yet.
Your away working trying to make things work but still nothing to show for it in the beginning stages.
This is facts bro. And if you have a family, they won’t understand because there is no or little time and no or little money to show for it.
Thanks for posting this! I needed to hear this!
But if you or a loved one were to die tomorrow, would you sacrificing time with them while chasing “success” have been worth it? Some sacrifices are priceless i.e., your health, your family, and most importantly your soul.
Exactly
Men have to work. It’s that simple
@lakecrowell9119 boom! If one puts all the effort they have into learning and building a relationship with their soul that they put into ‘chasing the bag,’ wealth and balance are sure to manifest. Everything else in non-sensical.
@@LloydAlmightyWork yourself to early death, Lloyd. Let other people raise your kids like 13:59 Future. You think Future sees his dozens of kids? The grind don't stop for changing diapers! If you don't feel like a slave you're not working hard enough
I’m on a 10 year grind. Just so I can retire early at 53. Then from there I’ll focus on investments & real estate. Working for myself, the grind never exactly stops though!
I LOVE this clip…have listened to it prob 10 times by now 😂
“if you failed to achieve what you wanted in life, it’s a sign that you truly didn’t want it, or you tried to bargain over the price”
-Rudyard Kipling
Schedule time with your family like you do for your business. It helps to cover the imbalance
I watched the original interview last week. I believe there can be balance with success but it has to be intentional. One example that Rashad pointed out was Mayweather running at 12 midnight. For some we may see that as unbalanced but what he is able to achieve from it is in fact the balance. I remember Oprah saying that she still makes sure Stedman eats dinner even if she makes it herself. So I believe balance and success and can go hand in hand. But we have to be strategic with our time. Even their other video where they stated that in order for there to be success egos must be put aside, everyone must know and respect their roles, and everybody eats. That too is balance.
Thank you for this!
I think they mean work- life balance. They just want to work. Work is life
Balance and Perfection DO NOT exist!!! Just keep doing your passion! 😊
I NEEDED TO HEAR THIS TODAY!!! , THANK YOU SOO MUCH
Thank you so much, i was waiting for this segment cut from the show!!!
Congrats, you have done interviews with the top business owners in the world, but you lost pivotal times in your children life…. Don’t be financial free while your family becomes emotionally bankrupt. That’s not a valuable investment.
Sacrifices are extremely important, But Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs and MANY others,.. all have said some of there biggest regrets is not spending more time with their family. I have missed a lot of important times with my family and it still eats me up thinking about it, and some of them are grown now. Even though I gave him “financial freedom,” I was still in slave to getting more money and making more connections. Once again Don’t be financial free but allow your children to be emotionally bankrupt. That’s not a valuable investment.
💯💯💯
Whoooooo!!! Boy y’all spitting straight facts on this episode 💎!!!!!!! 💯
This is a Master Class of a video. Buy some merch. We owe these men for this content.
Real talk 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
this is my favorite thing yall ever uploaded. please talk more about this family dynamic
There's no family in this dynamic. Put your family behind you to achieve success. They'll hate you but they will understand
Anything without balance will eventually fall.
Boy yall spitting facts!
🎯 This message is so misunderstood! Thank you guys for breaking this down so eloquently. ✊🏾
You can have a successful life and be balanced. Just spend way less than you make, save & make smart investments.
YO the wise council making points perfect delivery man thanks
I like more of these conversations fellas 💯💯
Preciate the reminder Kings 💯
Preach y'all! This is all such good advice, sacrifice is a real B____, but all so worth it!
This message resonates with my soul💫💫💫
Hearing him say, he still routinely, sleeps on the couch hit different for me because I never could explain why I don’t feel comfortable going to the bed, but now that I think about it, I am afraid of being too comfortable
Enjoyed this video Kings! 👏🏾 I love reading
Agreed success doesn’t equal balance until success is achieved….
Needed this man!
Be Present and Attentive at where you're in the process..(gym, childcare, building, crafting, writing,drawing..etc..etc.
Y’all are absolutely right

EXCELLENT & VERY REAL & TRUE CONTENT.... FACTS... 1000 PERCENT
Right ✔️ thanks for this great reminder 😊
Needed this one today 💯💯
You have to put the work in to see results you want to see.
Great conversation. Message received
Thanks for the video. Informative and Powerful 💎
I needed to hear this
Read📚: The One Thing, by Gary Keller. Chapter on balance is 🔥
So true, it is what it is!!
It’s a best feeling in the world to be a part of something bigger than yourself
I've always been of the belief, do what you need to do to get to where you're trying to go (within legal & moral bounds) and a byproduct of that might be imbalance for a period of time. The issue we have in our pursuit of greatness is ppl around us apply negative labels imbalance (its bad, wrong). If your not willing to pay the price, change your goals.
I would even take out the legal part. obviously going to jail is good for nobody but the jail, but if I gotta push the line I'll do it.
😂@@darkskinwhite
Fire conversation 🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate this.
This really hits home
I like that. Its not a debatable fact!
Go 'head shad!!! ❤❤❤
You have to define balance… you can achieve harmony in life with consistency.
This is a great video
Solid show brothers I learned something
To have a balanced life and success is to be successful at creating a balanced life.
Ian a beast 📝💡🚨🙏🏿🥇✅
Balance is challenging to maintain while achieving top levels of success. There's no excuse for not taking care of yourself while striving for greatness. Health appointments, eating properly, exercise, etc should be maintained. Far too many successful and top level folks with poor health. When balance actually is possible because you worked so hard, will you be healthy enough to enjoy it? Food for thought. Du Your Best!
There is always a cost. Nothing in life is free
This is a little bit cap. I like these brothers but I have to call cap when I hear it. "The goal in life is to be unbalanced to achieve balance." Bullshit guys. And do not believe you have to sacrifice a personal life or family life to achieve business success. My success may not have been at the level of some but I have made six figures since 2006...and that has been between $200,000 - $364,000/year. All while never missing a birthday, going to all of the kids recitals, attending school functions, having dinner with the family the majority of the time, playing basketball and throwing the football with my son, etc. Now, the part about sacrificing movies, spending all kinds of time on social media, etc...absolutely correct. Also, the part about complaints of not having certain "things" and luxuries if you spend all of your time with your family - yep.
I agree ☝🏽 life needs perfect balance, he sounds like he’s obsessed with materialism and that in itself is a toxic way of thinking.
That what keeps you from going from 200k a year to 200k/month. Everyone always has a comment on money, success and sacrifice from people way ahead of them. This video isn’t for you
I agree, if your family doesn't have an emotional attachment to you, then ironically you become exactly what you're chasing, a commodity. You'll only be valuable to them because of your money.
There are levels to this. Congratulations on your level of success. Kids need resources. The world isn’t fair. Teach them along the way; we should all attempt to reach our full potential. It’s over for everyone one day.
