For a person to be living in Austria at the time that he was and to have the audacity to
Have a vision like that and then actually go after it and go through different failures because you see he got into bodybuilding
While he was still living in kin, Austria
He got into it then and he actually started to train his body when he was serving in the army, you know
and I remember he got
let's say demoted to working in the kitchen and that's where he started to learn about eating and that's how he was able to actually
Begin to bulk up his body
so it takes a tremendous amount of determination to set a goal or set a vision for yourself and
You know and follow through on that so that's really that's it. That's a key. That's like, you know, that's a key to success
Everybody, how are you?
This is Charles again coming to you live from Lagos Nigeria. And I'm gonna welcome you to the channel dreamers
Probably cover everything from entrepreneurship personal development and culture
Now today we're gonna be talking about the world-famous Arnold Schwarzenegger, and we're going to talk about you know
The secrets to his success and how you we can apply these
You know his methods to our life to also garner more success as we move forward
so just sit back enjoy, you know, enjoy the video and
Let's get into it. So for those of you who don't know
I'm sure most of you do know who Arnold Schwarzenegger is he's a he's an American movie star
Although he's not it was in born in the States is actually he was born in Austria
And he has a very he has a very fascinating story
but today I want to focus more in the business aspect of you know of his life and how you know
We as entrepreneurs can learn from him, but not just entrepreneurs
We're regular people how we can learn you know
You know how to sort of tailor our you know tailor our life not after him
But just to understand how successful people think and behave
Therefore we can't so we can take our you know, our careers to the next level
So the first thing that I've learned about honest Orson about washing, you know
A lot of his videos and interviews and speeches the first thing he always speaks about you know
And it's actually one of his, you know keys to success is to have a vision for yourself
Okay, that's that's a concept that he really stresses and a lot of his talks
He always speaks about the importance of having a vision. Now what?
Is it important to have a vision?
The reason is is actually quite simple if you don't know where you're going
How will you know that you're getting to the place? You want to be? The most important thing is that you have a vision?
Did you have a corn?
Because without that vision and without that core again, you're drifting around if you're never gonna end up anywhere people don't become successful
just by accident, you know, I mean, maybe the guy
That found gold in California and started the gold rush, but don't count on that
That's a one in in a lifetime kind of a situation
So you got to really have a specific Gordon to me to have that vision that I want to be. Mr. Universe
They don't want to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time
It's it's very important to have a target that you're trying to hit. Okay, I'll give you you know, the practical, you know application
What I'm talking about, let's say you want a business
Okay, it can be it can be a menu
It can be a construction business and you know
Let's say last year you did five million in profit
If you set a goal for yourself, if you say hey, look I envision us
You know working in this part of the country and doing X amount of projects and you know doubling, you know
Our you know our income that's a vision. That's a goal
So in your daily life as you go through the year you're able to sort of plot out your footsteps
That's the importance of having a vision if you just go through life sort of
Crossing your fingers, then you're not really gonna achieve any, you know major success for him
His vision was really clear. He wanted to come to the United States
You know when the mr. Li mr. Olympia?
competition and become a movie star and he also wanted to become
You know a political figure in the United States, so he had a very clear clear
You know understanding of where he wanted to go and what he you know, what specifically he wanted to do with his life
The second thing is the second thing about Arnold Schwarzenegger that I believe really sets him apart. Is that he has
unwavering confidence and determination
He is one of the most determined people that I've ever seen. I've never met him obviously, but
you know listening to him from the waking talks and
things that he's able to do he has you know
for a person to be living in Austria at the time that he was and to have the audacity to
Have a vision like that and then actually go after it and go through different failures because you see he got into bodybuilding
While he was still living in Austria
He got into it then and he actually started to train his body when he was serving in the army, you know
and I remember he got
let's say demoted to working in the kitchen and that's where he started to learn about eating and that's how he was able to actually
Begin to bulk up his body. So people always ask me
When they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they'd say why is it that you're working out so hard?
Five hours a day six hours a day and you have always a smile on your face
The others are working out just as hard as you do and it looks our in the face
Why is that?
And they told people all the time I said because to me I am shooting for gold
In front of mr. Mr. Universe title
So every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal to make this core this vision turn into reality
Every single set that I do
Every repetition every weight that the lift will get my step closer to turned his goal into reality. So
I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squat
I couldn't wait it to another 500 pound bench, press I couldn't wait to another 2,000 reps of sit-ups
I couldn't wait for the next exercise
So it takes a tremendous amount of determination to set a goal set a vision for yourself and you know and follow through on that
So that's really that's it. That's a key
That's like, you know, that's the key to success that we shouldn't overlook as we as we scares
We study, you know honest Orson eager and how he achieved, you know, this massive success and you know worldwide
Notoriety, so the second thing is have, you know dog-headed, you know determination the third distort
The third thing is he has a supreme level of self confidence
determination and self confidence with two different things
You can be determined to do something and you keep doing and you keep doing it. Keep doing it
Self-confidence has a lot to do with certainty
Certainty lets you know that it will happen
Determination is the thing that allows you to drive through every single day
But your self-confidence is the thing that allows you to say something like you know, what when I come to the United States
Not only am I going to be an action star an action movie star?
I'm also gonna run for governor of California and win and then also marry again everything I ever did
The thing that they heard out of people's mouths was that's impossible
That can't be done you can't be a bodybuilding champion
The same was also when I when did do not just embody building. Listen. No when I wanted to come to America
It was all no no and it can't be done. It's impossible. And I remember then that's the same thing happened also
When I mean into show business ask a studio executive I say I want to get into movies. I
Want to be a leading man. He started laughing
So they all say that's impossible I
said why is it impossible is because
look at how big you are you weigh 250 pounds and
Then they told me this and you accent even if you reduce all your body weight and everything, you have a normal body
You accent I
Said you accent them in they would go give people a goosebumps
but you know something I
didn't give a shit it takes an
unbelievable amount of self-confidence
To do something like that and that's what he has. He one of you know, we did a video before that
Spoke about the the most important currency to have in business is self-confidence
And now you see how it pays off when you have self-confidence
You can do things you can you know, you can set high, you know
You know high standards for yourself and say hey I can do that. Even though most people don't think they're capable of doing it
I can do that
And that's how you really tap into your you know?
your true potential so self-confidence is
Critical the next key to the success of Arnold Schwarzenegger in my opinion is his ability to reinvent him
Okay, when he came to United States, yes, you know he wanted to be you know win. Mr
Olympia and he did but not many people know this though that
The before Arnold Schwarzenegger started doing movies. He was already a millionaire and
The thing that led him to become a millionaire is actually was actually real estate
Investment he did real estate investment
Okay, that's what turned him into a millionaire when he started buying a lot of these commercial property these you know
These are these apartments all around
Southern California so that gave him
The the ability to choose the right roles that he wanted to do in movies, so he should say he wasn't desperate
He wouldn't just take any role for the money
Okay, so he went from you know
Let's say a business person to a movie star to a politician and now he's doing movies again
That's that's how you reinvent yourself
You're constantly fluid. You're always changing you're ever, you know, you're ever-changing always learning new things
You're always you know, pushing the boundary and seeing what else
You can do and what else your your character and your personality has to offer
So if you're listening to if you're watching this video as a businessperson, make sure you try to reinvent yourself
Don't get too static and say hey, you know what? We have the success and it's gonna stay forever
you know, we've seen countless examples, you know, for example company like like Netflix came out of you know,
The mishap of Blockbuster blockbuster thought they were gonna be here forever. And now look what happened now Netflix, just you know, you know just
Superseded them and now Netflix is the number one thing when we think about movies
Because blockbuster wasn't able to reinvent itself as a company and therefore someone came and overtook them
So that's another key to you know key to the success of artists Orson Egger reinventing himself
Another thing is you want to make sure that you aim
extremely high have
Massive goals have goals that will scare you. You know, there's a saying to say if your goals don't scare you they're not big enough
You know
He had audacious or goals to say that you want to be the governor of a state is one thing
but then to know that you don't even
You're not even American and you have this accent that's so you know noticeable and people who used to make
Make fun you and then you knowing all of that you still say, you know, I'm gonna be the governor
it takes a tremendous amount of you know, I mean
It's almost ludicrous when you think about it on its face
But then when you see the results, you're like wow, but this guy says he wants to beat the you know
He wants to be the baddest. I want to be the mayor of California the dub California. He said I want to be the governor
Okay, so when you set goals for yourself when you when you're looking at your career and the things you want out of life
Try your very best to aim as high as possible get that learned that take that
You know the skill from him and finally one of the biggest
Keys to his success. He speaks about is giving back. Okay
Giving back is really really important. Why is it important?
Because the more good you do the more good will come to you the more you give the more you receive
It's it's a law of the universe
Okay
the more you give to people
You have you put a lot of good karma out there in the world and people want to give to you the more
Information you give the more you teach
People want to come around you and give you things that's why if you look at anyone Disick's, you know
That's they sort of reached the top of the mountain the pinnacle so to speak once they get there and they're sort of done
From that point to become a teacher
look at Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant, you know was a you know was you know, he's a you know, he's a
World-renowned basketball player nice careers over now. He's teaching basketball
He's doing you know short videos on how to teach, you know, look at Kareem. Abdul-jabbar
Look at Michael Jordan look at so many other
You know famous business people that go out there and and they just dedicate their lives to helping
Jack Ma talks a lot about this
He says you reach a certain stage in your life when you're in your 50s and 60s
Where now you become a helper you help people that are at the bottom and you help them get to where you are
By giving them your resources and your knowledge and your support
So giving back is really important and you don't have to say oh, well, I'm not a millionaire yet
Oh, I'm not at that level so you can start right now. For instance. I live in Lagos Nigeria
Well, I see, you know, there's poverty in Africa
So if you see somebody and you feel and if I feel you know
If I mean if I'm in the position to give I get it maybe something small
But it's my little a bit of contribution, you know to the to the environment of Romney
So giving back is extremely important. You know, it really take you a long way in life
So those are the keys to the success of honest or Sania and I think there's some valuable things that we can learn from him
moving forward so I don't go on too long with the video, but if you you know
