    This man is amazing. He:
    1. Proved that a Black man can be successful without being a performer or a sports superstar. Make more money being smarter than by being strong or fast.
    2. Became an "overnight" sensation after years of hard work.
    3. There is more to him than just "business as usual."
    4. Gives back to the "community".
    "Dream Big," "Act on your intentions," and "Develop grit" all, go hand-in-hand.

These are the people who did the five years of college and possibly more time at other institutions of learning. When they come out, they owe $500,000 in school loans and what happens? They land a 'good job' to prove to the world that higher education pays off.........That 'good job' pays ...........$100,000 a year !!!!

    I know I am watching this at the right time but I must admit that I wish I watched it one year ago. Thank you for posting this Evan and #BelieveTeam. Mr. Robert Smith and I have some commonalities (similar first degrees, similar drive and similar philosophy) I am truly happy that I am watching this at the age of 25. I love all of his rules. He was inspired by James Bond, I am very much inspired by Bruce Wayne. A few things he has said that resonate with me...
    1. "You can actually make more money being smart than you can by being strong or fast. The importance of developing Intellectual Property can not be underestimated."
    2. Running your own race demands trusting yourself even when others don't.
    3. You have to put consistent action behind your vision for it to manifest.
    4. Dreaming BIG is a very important part of running your own race.
    5. Have and demonstrate GRIT.
    6. Education is not enough.
    BE PERSISTENT.
    I know theoretically that I will have to put in the 10,000 hours. This reinforced the need for those 10,000 hours on the road to perfecting my craft. PS: I do not believe I will ever perfect it but I will enjoy the journey.

    This guy is really inspiring I’d never heard of them before. Like when he said, “understand your background but don’t let it hold you back”. The work ethic, the understanding that you are in control of your own destiny, it’s all stuff that we’ve heard before but it’s great to hear it from somebody who actually put it in the practice with magnificent results.

    The beauty of Mr. Smith's presentation was that unlike MOST successful black folks, he didn't redirect to our personal failings (e.g. Obama; Bill Cosby, Morgan Freeman, et al) as being the most prevalent reason for our struggles. He kept it factual, skipped over the social impediments, and imbued us to embrace the belief that our God-ordained greatness will allow us to overcome those constructed barriers - provided we skip no steps and maintain our resiliency through to the end. One of the moist poignant COME UP presentations I've ever heard in my life.

    *Trusting yourself went right through my soul but these 3 points impacted me greatly.
    *Act on your intentions:if you don't act on your intentions who will know what they are or how will you impact people without your intentions manifesting in your Actions .
    *Enjoy figuring things out . This has encouraged me to seek and keep seeking and help me produce quality services with Excellence .If you don't figure things out how will you be a path finder.
    *Develope Grit , we all at some point in life struggle with dependency at all levels but without Grit we won't be able to bring out and share our hidden potentials with the world around us.

In fact it reminds me of the saying from E.E.

    Developing grit, being committed and enjoying figuring things out. He explained that his life didn’t happen without serious effort, discipline and lots of time put in to make the life he wanted happen. When he didn’t know what to do or know what something was, he took the time to study it and figure it out and I truly respect that. The deeper message there gave me a lot to think about and is also inspiring. Thanks for putting this video together.

    Develop your mind: One must become obsessed and immerse themselves in the thing that they wish to be. That takes concentrated effort , focusing the mind on a consistent basis.
    Trust yourself: Most of us are afraid to do things outside the box because they dont come easy and it takes time to work on a dream. But in between there will be lots of people who want to know why or what we are doing because they can't see it. So trusting you and doing you is key.
    Perfect your craft/Act with intention: You must but ACTION-WORK-EFFORT behind your dream or vision. It can't just be a want or dream it must be put into action. Participation in you dreams.

Yes, you do have to work additional hours both in and outside of work. The thought process never leaves you, as you are constantly counting, figuring, deciphering trying to understand problems. When the person above you needs that answer, needs to understand, you will get the call, so always be ready.
