And how many sleepless nights are you going to have to do to make that goal become a reality? But once you reach that goal, you no longer have to do that. Once it becomes a reality, then you can chill. That make sense? Nick Padea: Yeah.
Eric Thomas: Gotta love your sister. Lewis Howes: But it was a good lesson… My sister is great! How am I going to earn this? How am I going to make this?
And I realized that I was able to work that much harder, because I was just saving two hours a day on, whatever. And when there was a game on, I would go watch the Buckeyes play on Saturdays and go to a bar and watch the game, or go to the game, whatever it may be, to do that purposefully.
Eric Thomas: Yeah. And can I be honest? Lewis Howes: What time did you go to bed? Eric Thomas: What time did you go to bed? And I was religiously into bed between 21h30 and 22h Going to bed early, not burning the midnight oil, and then getting up early in the morning. Lewis Howes: There you go. Jeremy: ET, what up, what up? Eric Thomas: What up, what up? Lewis Howes: Nice! Eric Thomas: Smart man!
Jeremy: Respect! Both of you gentlemen have helped me build my business, and have also helped me in my relationships. Things that you talked about. Appreciate you. My relationship is similar in some ways. I knew my father, but he and my mother divorced when I was young. But this sensitivity as well. You know? Lewis Howes: Right, right. But at the same time, you also need to take care of yourself, and I know you like to give, but what are you doing for you?

Show Notes:. Mental health has become a priority issue for the NBA in recent years, particularly after DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love came forward to discuss their mental health experiences.
And while the league offers multiple official support systems for its players -- systems that NBA officials acknowledge might be needed more than ever with the league on hiatus -- Thomas has become the unofficial go-to source of support for players around the league. He's someone they know they can lean on when they're going through difficult times, whether through a personal connection or just through the inspirational messages he posts on social media.
Sometimes I listen to his stuff whenever I'm feeling off or I need a certain message. He has messages for all different types of things. He has connected with rookies, including Zion Williamson , as part of the NBA's annual rookie symposium.
Players point to his rise from his humble beginnings and his raw, powerful delivery of his messages as sources of inspiration. Now, with the NBA on hold and no return date in sight, Thomas finds those messages resonating like never before.
He'd teamed with MVP James Harden to lead the Rockets to the most successful regular season in team history and the top seed in the Western Conference. And, while he hadn't heard from Thomas for months, he wasn't surprised to see his trusted adviser's name pop up on his phone. They initially connected when Thomas spoke to Paul while he was with the Clippers, then stayed in touch as the veteran point guard changed cities, with Paul even inviting him to speak at his North Carolina summer basketball camps.
A lot of people want you to hurt. A lot of people want to take your spot," Thomas told Paul through a voicemail. Paul got the Rockets within a win of the NBA Finals before a hamstring injury knocked him out of the series against the Golden State Warriors , who went on to win the title. A year later, Thomas and Paul connected again, with the Houston Rockets point guard presenting the speaker with a customized pair of his Jordan CP3.
XII signature sneakers featuring motivational quotes from Thomas such as, "Avoid being your own enemy" and "Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep. Said Paul: "ET is always somebody I know that's going to kick it to me straight. He just makes you be more than you think you can.
When I think of ET, I just think of pushing myself. Whenever you think that you have gone as far as you can, you can go a little further. Thomas rose to the top of his profession despite being a homeless high school dropout. He was born in Chicago to a teenage mother but was raised primarily in Detroit.
His biological father wasn't in his life until Thomas was Thomas spent 12 years working toward getting his bachelor's degree from Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama, in , and went on to earn his master's and doctorate from Michigan State University. He got his big break in after a speech at Michigan State, where he was working as an academic adviser. No Birthdays! The dream can be had by anyone.
The memory — must be made. You attract great! You attract average. Decisive movement. The most effective movement. But you know what? You can never be satisfied with losing. Cause your boy is coming. When you got something good, you get every single thing you can get out of it! Because guess what? When you take care of something good, that something good takes care of you. Greatness is upon you!
You better act like it! No, to sleep when you should be working out. Saying no, to quitting when you still got a hundred more shots to make.
