- 0:02>> I got married at 21 years old.
- 0:04I had two kids by 25.
- 0:07And a third on the way by 27.
- 0:10I've never tried alcohol, never touched
- 0:12drugs. [music]
- 0:14I don't go to parties.
- 0:16I've only slept with one woman, my
- 0:17beautiful wife.
- 0:20I stay [music] away from pornography and
- 0:21I'm very conscious of what I put in my
- 0:23body. And some people would say
- 0:26that I'm missing out on my 20s.
- 0:29But the thing [music] is
- 0:31when I was young enough people that I
- 0:33looked up to
- 0:34people whose lives
- 0:36I wanted [snorts] to mold my life after
- 0:37[music]
- 0:39were all saying the same things.
- 0:42That what mattered most to them
- 0:45was never the money.
- 0:46>> [music]
- 0:47>> Was never the business.
- 0:49Was never the six-pack.
- 0:52It was the relationships
- 0:54that they'd built
- 0:55>> [music]
- 0:56>> with their loving wives
- 0:58or husbands.
- 1:00The amazing families they were building
- 1:02with their kids.
- 1:04So [music] I decided to just jump that
- 1:06phase of life
- 1:08where everyone's focused on
- 1:10having fun
- 1:13looking out [music] for only themselves
- 1:15making money
- 1:17sleeping around
- 1:19>> [music]
- 1:19>> just wandering without a purpose.
- 1:22And the thing is if you want to have a
- 1:24life
- 1:25in your 40s and 50s
- 1:27that's full of purpose.
- 1:30If you see yourself eventually
- 1:32focusing on building a family
- 1:35and becoming a good partner
- 1:38>> [music]
- 1:38>> why wait?
- 1:40Why would you waste any time
- 1:43not working on yourself?
- 1:46So that you can become [music] the type
- 1:47of person who would make a good partner.
- 1:50So you can become the type of person
- 1:52that another little kid will look up to
- 1:55and think I want to be [music] like
- 1:56them.
- 1:58So you can become a role model
- 2:01to your future kids.
- 2:03>> [music]
- 2:03>> If you see yourself like that
- 2:05in your 40s, in your 50s,
- 2:07>> [music]
- 2:08>> why are you not starting in your 20s?
- 2:11Don't fall into the [music] traps of the
- 2:12world.
- 2:14Just because you're young
- 2:16>> [music]
- 2:17>> doesn't mean you can't start
- 2:19building out habits
- 2:21>> [music]
- 2:21>> that make a truly successful life.
- 2:24Just listen to anyone
- 2:26who has found real success
- 2:29and they'll tell you
- 2:31it's not in the things that people
- 2:32typically focus on in their 20s.
- 2:35So if you want to be someone eventually,
- 2:38why aren't you starting now?
