 you want me to tell you what big boy mentors told me unless you've got 30 years in and you're the damn Picasso of what you've done of your industry give it a break the second you're proud is the day you stop working trust me say no Ty you need all this you need this to energize yourself and you got to look in the mirror and say I love you you need it my mentors didn't tell me I needed it you want something train people say oh Ty you know self-help well some people think I'm self-help I'm not really self-help I'm about logic I'm about reverse engineering the success of people trust me give the pride in yourself your mama might be proud of you but this ain't your mama's world you want to be an actor or an act actress train when I meet somebody here in Hollywood they say oh I'm here to be an actor I say how many hours you trained to be an actor yesterday oh uh inevitably the answer I well you know I trained a long time ago when I was in London you're gonna lose but no no no I believe in myself well the director doesn't believe in you the casting agent well you're gonna walk off the street with no skills and be like I believe in you when there's a hundred people standing behind you that put in the work come on now I'm just like I try not to be too hard-nosed on people now if you work for me I'm on hard nose but you know on YouTube try to go easy on people just because people get a little discouraged but come on the day my life changed was at 19 20 years old five mentors old rich guys they looked at me and say bro you ain't gonna make it and instead of being like everybody else that I know here in LA that gets all proud well I believe in myself I was like no they're smart I ain't gonna make it and I made a change and like my mentor Joel Soutton said there is no change without a change of routine one of the changes of routine you might need to make is the change that I had to make the day I woke up to the big bad world that cares about one thing are you good you want to be an entrepreneur people will pay you for something that's good Steve Jobs made something that's good you try to make an iPhone put together an organization that can do that it ain't that easy people go oh Microsoft Bill Gates you try it try to take the world from zero computer personal computing to real computer you know Bill Gates started at 12 he trained Steven Spielberg he started at seven he trained now belief in himself have belief in the mastery that you can create after you create it you know one of the 67 steps I have is called from whence does all the pride come or from whence the pride comes I meet people I'm like are you proud about what you haven't done yet Kobe Bryant trained he shoots 800 shots a day before practice takes four hours a day that's training he didn't need pride in himself because as poo riches poo Richardson tells me your confidence will become your confidence you will begin to have pride and confidence once you're a master until then you're a student students got to act like students if you are Pablo Picasso if you are John Malkovich if you are Mark Cuban then puff up the pride and be like I'm a badass until then tone it down man narcissistic world that's telling everybody that everybody's gonna just make it it's a curse you put on yourself and other people when you promise people they're gonna make it in fact I remember somebody in my family one of the they meant well but they always told me how you're gonna do big things I realize now in retrospect they handicapped me because I thought it was an inevitable fate because that's what they put into my head I wish they had told me you will be great if you practice and train and get a little luck and a little fate on your side but mostly practice
