    I love going back through older videos and seeing where Mr. ET is NOW! When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe...

  • @brentcanfield4017

    You know, one of the MANY things that stand out with Eric? He doesn't start the video, showing a picture of his multi-million dollar house, trying to get you to believe that you can have it too, if you just follow him. He doesn't show you how you can be rich by taking part in some group that offers erroneous end results, like a Maserati or mansion. He simply identifies your core; he points out your true potential and then tells you to use your own talent and gifts that God has given all of us, to go after it! Eric is the real deal!! Been watching him for two years and he never lets me down. I'll have to look him up one of these days during my frequent trips to Detroit.

    @afropick93 11 лет назад +17

    the man is the definition of uplifting. I think the problem we have as failures & procrastinators is that we are never honest with ourselves on what we know is good/bad for us. I know Facebook/cell phone/video games/parties are counterproductive towards completing goals, yet I muffle that honest voice warning me about it & shoot the breeze until I'm in jeopardy at last minute. It's a horrid habit and I wish I could get rid of it as fast as possible considering the goals I have set for myself years to come, and the more I listen to Eric Thomas, I feel like i'm slowly inching toward listening to what that honest voice tells me.
    Gotta stop thinking about what I need to do, and actually do it.

    @GetOffTheRatWheel 11 лет назад +5

    ET goes IN on this video! Unlike many other speakers, ET is super transparent. Its one thing when you tell someone else what to do. But its speaks VOLUMES when you use yourself as an example. You're an icon, bro. I appreciate you.

    @hlb0111 10 лет назад

    I so needed to watch this at this very moment. I got fired from my job two days ago because they didn't like me being an entrepreneur even though my business doesn't compete in any way, shape or form with theirs and my clients were happy. My job was self-funding my business, and I stayed positive and started making moves immediately to get that income coming back in in a way that will let me focus on my business more and it is happening. I had a very tough come to Jesus with myself today to get at the heart of how and why I've been holding myself back, and procrastination has been a factor. I'm fearlessly going forward with full confidence knowing the universe will make a way because it is my intention. I do want it as bad as I want to breathe. I don't know the how, that's unfolding. I'm just holding tight in my dream. Everything you said rang true. Thank you. I really appreciate your videos. I can. I will. I must.

  • @NLCWELLBEING

In the past few years, I dont know why, but i settled for just passing exams when i should have done my best!. I have 10 days until the deadline the final project of my university bachelors. Its ironic,procrastination brought me to watch this video.But this is the last time. I heard enough by 8:40 minutes.Im gonna do it! God bless G

    What I learned today:
    1) It's not too late - Don't talk about it, be about it. Get it done, you still have time.
    2) Enough is enough - Put all your excuses and good reasons behind you.
    3) Break big goals into manageable pieces - Follow through and finish.
    4) I double dare you to do what you said you were gonna do when the year started.
    5) Get sick and tired of defeat.
    6) Get busy living!
    Thanks ET =)

    @Jordan Newman that's the strongest mindset you can ever have! Keep at it, don't let anyone ever tell you what you can or can't do, you are the one to decide & determine the success for your future, not anybody else. If you are doing what your doing now, greatness is only growing greater & stronger in you, stay hungry & stay blessed, but most importantly.. Turn your dreams into a reality, you can do it!
