Yo, today's QOD is... You

0:03

Have More In You. Here

0:05

we go. Welcome

0:32

back to the Quota of the Day show. I'm

0:34

your host, Sean Croxton, and seancroxton.com. We

0:36

are kicking off the week today with Mr. Eric Thomas,

0:39

or Dr. Eric Thomas, because he

0:41

has his PhD, also known as

0:43

E.T., the hip-hop preacher. And

0:46

today E.T. is going to encourage you to

0:48

think bigger. And

0:51

also, he's going to talk about all the

0:53

good that you can do with

0:55

money. That's actually a topic for our first two

0:57

episodes of the week. So many

0:59

of us carry around limiting beliefs that

1:02

money is a bad thing and money

1:04

is corrupting and it automatically turns you

1:06

into a bad person. But

1:08

I see money so much differently. I see

1:11

money as something that

1:13

gives you a greater ability and

1:15

capacity to impact and help

1:17

others. Also,

1:21

money can solve problems.

1:24

If you look at your problems, a lot of them have

1:26

to do with a lack of money. It

1:28

reminds me of a quote. I think it goes, money

1:31

is not the root, or the love of money

1:33

is not the root of all evil. It's

1:36

the lack of money that's the

1:38

root of all evil. And

1:40

there's a lot of truth to that. And

1:42

so I encourage you, and E.T. encourages

1:44

you to set big goals.

1:47

Go out there and provide

1:49

a service that earns substantial

1:51

income. So not only can

1:53

you impact and help others,

1:55

but you can secure yourself.

2:00

Thomas is coming up. All

2:03

right, here's what I need you to grab your phones for me real quick.

2:05

Grab your, grab your phones for me real quick. All right, everybody

2:07

grab your phones. All right, I need you all to do me a

2:09

huge favor. Huge favor. All right.

2:12

If you're not done yet, right,

2:14

you're not done yet. There's some things that you

2:16

still want to accomplish. I want you to text

2:18

yourself. I have to watch this. Text

2:20

yourself real quick, whatever that is, billionaire.

2:22

Now I'm beyond, where's Cole? They told me Cole

2:25

was here. It's Cole here. They told me

2:27

Cole was in the building somewhere. So

2:30

Cole and I connected, I don't

2:32

know, it was before COVID. I'll never

2:34

forget Cole's in somewhere in

2:36

Orange County. I was trying

2:38

to move to San Diego at the time, so

2:40

I was looking for property or whatever. And

2:43

so, you know, I went to Cole's house and, you know,

2:45

we sat down and, you know, I

2:47

told Cole, like, yo, I need some code

2:49

check. I'm trying to take you to the next level. Right?

2:53

And so when we sat down, the first thing Cole

2:55

was talking about was money. I

2:57

was like, man, here we go again. You know what I'm

2:59

saying? Like all these dudes want to talk about is money.

3:02

I'm like, bro, I'm trying to tell you the world, bro. Money,

3:04

money, money, money, money. Right.

3:06

And then Cole was like, Oh, I thought you was

3:09

a Christian. I

3:11

was like, bro, stop playing. You know what I'm saying? Like,

3:14

bro, I'm a Christian for real, for real. Like I don't be

3:16

playing games with that. He's like, no, I'm serious. I

3:19

said, you know, I'm a Christian. He said, well,

3:21

okay, let me ask you a question then. I was like,

3:23

what? He was like, what's

3:25

like your biggest thing right now? I was like, I want to

3:27

put kids through college. Like that's my thing. I want to put

3:29

kids. He was like, all right, cool. How many people you put

3:32

into college right now? I was like probably about three. And

3:35

Cole was like, Oh, you putting three people through school? I was

3:37

like, yeah. He said, you think God only wants

3:39

you to put three people through school? I

3:44

was like, no. I'm

3:47

just saying if we're doing numbers, I can't see God starting with

3:49

three. Right. I

3:51

just don't think God would do anything in threes. Right. So

3:54

I was like, you're right. Right. So he was like, yo, E,

3:56

that's why I'm telling you you need to make a whole bunch of money. He's

4:00

like, okay, one more thing. I was like, what? He

4:02

was like, imagine money in, I'm

4:05

not gonna say the names that he

4:07

mentioned, but some professions that aren't necessarily

4:09

desirable. He was like, what

4:11

do they do with the money? I'm like, they buy

4:13

this, they buy that, they do this, they do that.

4:15

He was like, bro, what if you had multi-millions in

4:17

your hands? What could you do for the

4:19

kingdom? I'm

4:22

talking about changing my whole mind. So I

4:24

left like, all right, I'm about to be a multi-million.

4:26

And I was like, what? I'm about to be a

4:28

billionaire. Right now,

4:31

and I'm serious, right? So this year alone, we talk

4:33

about exposure. So this year alone, I was like, you

4:35

know, I wanna take care, I work for the NFL.

4:38

So every year I go into a city and do what they

4:40

call the Super Bowl experience. So I bring all

4:42

these kids in and play football. I talk to these

4:44

kids. And of course, you know, there's different events that

4:46

we do and then we go to the game. And

4:48

so one year I was like, yo, this is cool,

4:50

but man, I wonder if I can expose other kids

4:53

to this. So I told the NFL, I

4:55

don't need y'all to pay for it, but I'm

4:57

about to open it up to kids who live in cities,

5:00

who would never get a chance to do this. So this year for

5:02

the Super Bowl, I took 20 kids first

5:04

to San Diego. No, first I

5:06

got them picked up in the limo at their

5:08

high school. Right?

5:12

Because a lot of, I told, look,

5:14

I take as many kids that it

5:16

was like, you know, here's what I need

5:18

y'all to do. And they didn't take me serious. They're like, man,

5:21

my father ain't in my life. My father in jail, my father

5:23

dead. People promise us stuff all the time. You ain't taking us

5:25

in the Super Bowl. So I was like, all

5:27

right, cool. So the kids who want, I'm like

5:29

getting the limo cause I need the kids who didn't believe

5:31

me. Next year I need them to believe me. So

5:34

they looking at their friends getting them, they like, oh, he just

5:36

got in the limo. Where are you going? To the Super Bowl.

5:39

So they drove to Chicago, someone from,

5:42

you know, Michigan air, they drove to

5:44

Detroit airport, flew them in. I

5:46

literally flew them into San Diego cause I didn't

5:48

want them to see, I didn't want their first

5:50

experience with the West coast to be LA. I'm

5:55

just being real. I live in San Diego. I love

5:57

LA, but it ain't got nothing on San Diego. LA

6:00

is cool, but you know saying like

6:02

it just it's just city with palm

6:04

trees You know say

6:06

San Diego, you know, it's got that look

6:09

so I put them up on a harbor. They

6:11

all had hotel rooms They all had their own

6:13

bed. They open it up We took them to

6:15

dinner at the Harbor lights first class then we

6:17

drove them back and forth to LA Every

6:20

day for the different events right listen to me very closely that

6:22

cost me 120 grand But

6:25

that's why I need to be a billionaire Cuz

6:27

now so Super Bowl was one thing they was

6:29

geeked up. I was like I ain't finished with

6:31

Charles So in October November, I'm taking them to

6:34

Dubai Listen

6:37

to me and so every year we go into

6:39

Super Bowl We're going to Dubai and then we

6:41

go into a third world country in Africa and

6:43

they're going to learn how to Either build houses

6:45

for people or they're gonna be awarded well I

6:47

need to be a billionaire in order to make

6:49

that happen. That makes this Come

6:52

on does that make sense? So everybody say

6:54

one more Come on

6:56

one more. Come on one more And

7:00

look so one more is dual right?

7:02

So one more is this idea of

7:04

being resilient? Right. It's

7:06

this idea of you know what I

7:08

got I got one more in me,

7:10

right? I got one more or it's

7:13

only gonna take one more right But

7:15

then it's this construct that after you

7:17

do one more you realize you can

7:19

do one more I

7:21

want to make sure we understand what this book is about.

7:24

Am I clear? Everybody say one more One

7:26

more. Come on one more. Let

7:29

me hear you outside one more So

7:32

whatever you wrote down and I hope you wrote

7:34

something down It's

7:36

only gonna take one more for that thing to happen

7:38

that you wrote down. I Need

7:40

you to understand what I'm about to tell you. It's only gonna take

7:43

one more Whatever

7:45

it is you wrote down. So for me. All

7:47

right first I wrote down what I wanted That's

7:49

for me my wife my two kids, but

7:52

now I'm focusing on the

7:54

next generation All right, so I don't want to get it wrong.

7:56

I always get this wrong. I think it was I

7:58

think was fine Roosevelt,

8:00

I think it was Franklin, right? Watch this.

8:03

He took, at that time, I think it was

8:05

maybe $2,000 and put $2,000 aside

8:07

for 100 years, right, to

8:11

give to the next generation, next generation, next generation.

8:13

It turned into about $6 million, right? So I

8:15

studied that. I was like, yo, this is crazy.

8:18

So I have an insurance policy, but I'm about

8:20

to do one more. Whoo! Yo,

8:23

I want you to listen to what I'm saying. I'm about

8:25

to do one more. What's the one more? Actually, I'm

8:28

going to do two. Like, he only did one for

8:30

100 years. I was like, I need to do one

8:32

more than what he did. So

8:34

he did one. So I'm going to put $50,000

8:36

to the side and an insurance policy, $50,000,

8:40

and that $50,000 in 100 years would turn into $100 million.

8:45

Whoo! Right? And that's just

8:47

going to be for whatever generation. So I got

8:49

an engagement for 100 grand. I just split the

8:51

100 grand up. I put 50 for 50 years

8:54

and 50 for 100 years. Now, I

8:56

need you all to hear what I'm saying. So I'm

8:58

going to make sure that one more generation is going to

9:00

be blessed. Whoo! 50 years or

9:02

not. That will make sure one more generation is blessed

9:04

100 years from now. Does that make sense? Whoo! So

9:06

100 years or not, my generation is about to come

9:08

in with a... You coming into the world with a

9:11

100 mil. Whoo! Whoo!

9:14

Noah, come on. Y'all got to hear what I'm saying. Whoo!

9:17

And so this idea of one more is you have more

9:19

in you. Whoo! So I

9:21

ask you, what's the next thing you want

9:23

to do? Because you're probably one idea away

9:25

from it. You're probably one step away from

9:27

it. You're probably one action

9:29

item away from it. You're probably one

9:31

person away from it. You're

9:34

literally one more away from whatever it

9:36

is you're trying to do to get

9:38

to the next level. Just

9:40

one more. And so this

9:42

isn't about selling books. This isn't

9:44

about us just coming together. This

9:47

is about putting into the atmosphere

9:49

one more. Now, I want to say this. I

9:51

heard Andy. So whoever

9:53

the young man was, for

9:55

whatever reason, whoever the young man

9:57

was, if... And

10:00

I'm sure he had been going through whatever he had been

10:02

going through. If he had

10:04

one more day to think about what he did, one

10:07

more opportunity in front of

10:09

the right person, see, when I see stuff like that,

10:11

I'm like, come on, you ain't doing enough, meaning what?

10:14

You got your videos out there, bro. But you got

10:16

to, you got to do it in a way where,

10:18

cause I'm sure there was somebody else who watched my

10:20

video who had some of the same kind of challenges

10:22

who watched my video and was like, bump that. I'm

10:25

not doing that. I'm doing this. Right.

10:27

And so if he had one more opportunity. If

10:29

he had one more day, things would probably be

10:32

different. So I need you to understand that there's

10:34

this power and one more, say it with me.

10:36

One more. Come on. One more.

10:39

Come on. One more. If we

10:41

would just do it one more time, just

10:43

one more, whatever you wrote down, you'd be a step

10:45

closer to whatever you wrote down somebody in the room.

10:47

Help me out. What did you write down? I want

10:49

to just see if somebody like took it serious. Yeah.

10:51

What's that thing? Good.

10:55

Help 7 billion people, 7 billion

10:58

people find Jesus. All right. I love it. I

11:00

love it. Good. Who else? Good.

11:03

Change the world. Good. I love it. Who else? Good.

11:09

20,000 units of apartments in five years. Good. Who else?

11:13

Want to be the greatest motivational speaker of all time.

11:16

I'm simply doable. That's doable. Talk to me

11:18

in the back. Good.

11:23

Over here. Talk to me. I saw a hand. Good.

11:26

Whatever. Yup. I see you. Good.

11:30

Change. Let's just to be very closely. I

11:32

need you to make sure before we get out of here, how

11:34

many people do we have in the room? Somebody what's the numbers

11:36

in the room? Listen

11:39

to me. We can release 400 people

11:42

right now. That's going to change the world. Like

11:45

you got 400 people in this room. If

11:47

the 400 of us walk out of this

11:49

place on fire, if the 400 of us

11:51

take this concept serious, if we go, we

11:53

all go out and do one more thing

11:55

based on our dreams and our goals, the

11:57

world's going to look different. How do I

11:59

know? One day I was just sitting

12:01

there going, we in a recession. I

12:03

just was sitting there like, yo, we in a recession. What

12:05

can I do? At this time, nobody

12:08

even knew who E.G. was. And I

12:10

said, what can you do, E? What's

12:12

one more thing you can do, Eric? One

12:15

more. I said, you know what I can

12:17

do? The one more thing I can do,

12:19

one more, one time. The one thing I

12:21

can do is I can cut that camera

12:23

off and I can be motivational. Does

12:26

that make sense? I just got on

12:28

the camera and I said, what up, what up, what up? It's

12:32

your boy E.G. Keep bringing from the

12:34

bottom. Thank God it's Monday.

12:39

And listen to me. The reason why I said thank

12:41

God it's Monday, one more. One

12:44

more. Friday was already taken. So

12:48

I was like, look, Friday's already taken. What?

12:50

I'm going to take one more day. What's

12:52

another day? Monday. So while they're

12:54

going into the parties, I'm going to catch

12:56

them on Monday while they're coming into their

12:58

dreams. I'm

13:00

going to let whoever those people are that convinced

13:03

them that they need to go party, they need

13:05

to go drink, they need to have a good

13:07

time, they need to spend time, whoever that group

13:09

is, go for it. But one more, one

13:12

more concept, one more idea, one

13:14

more. I got one

13:17

more enemy. And you know what that one more

13:19

was? Thank God it's Monday. Which

13:23

has changed me. I had

13:25

one video, one video

13:27

that went viral and it's over a hundred million

13:29

hits. One more. What's that one more for you?

13:32

What's that one more for you? What's

13:34

that one more for you? So when I

13:37

saw what I saw yesterday, I, of course,

13:39

morning I had my church praying, but I

13:41

didn't get discouraged. I went, come on, E,

13:43

one more E. You got one

13:46

more viral video in you, E. Come

13:48

on, E, you got one more lesson in you, E. E,

13:51

you got one more spirit that you could pour

13:53

out into the world. E, you got one more

13:55

E. Don't give up, don't give in. One more,

13:57

say it with me on three, one, two, three.

14:00

One more. Come on. One, two, three. Come

14:03

on. One, two, three. That

14:06

was Eric Thomas. His website is

14:09

etinspires.com. You can watch today's entire

14:11

talk on the YouTube. It is

14:13

called Max Out Live

14:15

Full Events. Right, my friend?

14:17

That is it for me. Hey, we've got

14:20

two Instagrams now. I've got my own Instagram.

14:22

You know, my Instagram has to do with

14:24

the show, but it doesn't always have to

14:26

do with the show. And so we

14:29

have relaunched the Quote of the Day

14:31

show Instagram account at the Quote of

14:33

the Day show. And so you will

14:35

see reels on that page for all

14:37

of our QOD talks that go with

14:39

actual videos. And so again, that's at

14:42

the quote of the day show.com. And

14:44

also follow me at Sean Croxton. I

14:46

will see you tomorrow with Reverend Ike.

14:49

Have an amazing day. Peace.
