Stay Motivated & Take On New Challenges | Jake Paul EP 437

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:13What's the biggest challenge you're facing right now? The opportunity, like too much opportunity. You can drown in opportunity. And so like figuring out what to prioritize, what to say no to, and what to say yes to. what I've found recently is there's so many people like trying to pull me in particular in different directions for this meeting or that meeting or to go meet this really important person but I'm like is this a really important person like invested into my career like I'm gonna meet them and they're gonna know who I am and like sometimes that's great but like I gotta double down on myself be focused and get my stuff done and get like my internal meetings done and get like my strategy and plan done and manage my employees on a day-to-day basis and get my content done and i think investing like in yourself is what i found is is the biggest thing and saying no i found like the the areas that i want to play in and like what i'm good at and we have like our vision and our trajectory to get there as a company and and both as like an individual right and not going away from that that trajectory and sticking to it as much as possible and a lot of times like you said it's saying no and uh staying in the office and working and we already i already did the meetings with the investors you know so first year or two you were doing meetings you're meeting people now it's time to grind exactly get it done right exactly i'm curious about the interaction with your brother.

1:53Now, I'm the youngest in my family, and my older brother is one of the most successful, talented jazz violinists in the world. He's played with the top artists, and he's always been very talented and successful. So I've always had that hunger to kind of, you know, friendly compete. I'm not trying to be a musician, but just like compete to be at the same level, right? Yeah. What is that like for you guys? I know you guys work together a lot of things, and you're obviously a family and supportive, but I'm curious for you you as the youngest are you the youngest in the family yeah yeah as young as how do you feel do you feel like this is constant hunger to to get you know kind of a little bit bigger and kind of be like oh this video did a little bit better than yours and kind of be competitive or what is that like for you guys 100 so there's it's a it's a like you said it's a friendly competition and you know we both feed off of each other uh and for him it's like i can't let my little brother past me and for me it's like i want to be better than my older brother people would even fans would comment like oh logan's vines are so much better and how'd that make you feel it was it was a tough thing to deal with but um there was more positive than negative and that's what i tried to focus on yeah i personally always knew that i was smarter than logan wow and i knew that i would work harder than logan one thing that logan is a lot better than than me at is like creating content he's brilliant at it yeah i've watched him yeah and so um that's one thing that that like he has the crown on but i knew i was smarter and i knew i would work harder and we're starting to see those like hints of me catching up or passing him because you pass him on youtube i pass him on youtube and you started around the same time.

3:43Yeah. Well, he started, he's, he actually has like 30 days on me. Wow. Um, I must hate that. Yeah. But it, but it drives him. Sure. Um, and same thing on like, uh, on the business side of things, and also like in traditional media, he's killing it there as well. He's getting movie deals. He's getting acting right. Exactly. But it's on billboards. It's like digital stuff. It's like digital stuff. So arguably like people are like, Oh, like you're doing, you're doing, uh, you know, better than your brother in the acting space. And I'm like, maybe um but I always told myself and even when I passed him on YouTube like my dad called me like my friends texted me and they're like you passed Logan and I was like yeah that's like a goal of mine but like if I just if that's what I live to do is to pass my brother then that's all I'll ever be and so I try to think like one step higher and say like that doesn't matter like I need to look above that um that's a great goal to hit now what's the bigger thing exactly and it was never like it was always in the back of my mind and like we push each other and he'll be in the gym late night so that like i want to go to the gym and he's doing crazy stuff for his videos and so i have to like you know up up my stuff and and vice versa um and so it's a friendly competition but it's only it's only healthy for both of us because we're just pulling each other up and up and up and up.
