I call this video August and I'll tell you why.
我把这段视频叫做“八月”,我来告诉你为什么。
August fascinates me.
一提到八月我就非常兴奋。
I grew up in the wine business where you did a lot of business with Europe
我小的时候,我们家是做红酒生意的,经常与欧洲有生意往来,
and the late 90s, early 2000s I was always confused by August
一直到上世纪90年代末,2000年初那会,八月又让我感到困惑,
because August was a time that I completely got in the zone
因为到了八月份,我会完全进入自己的空间,
because I knew everyone was sleeping.
其他人都在休息,都在睡觉。
And what I mean by that is everybody was on vacation.
一到八月份,所有人都出去旅游了。
In Europe, all my vendors, they were gone the whole month. Ghost.
在欧洲,我所有的供应商都走了,一个月见不着人。
In the US, a couple weeks here, a couple weeks there and you know it was really interesting.
在美国也是一样,一连几周见不着人,一会去这儿,一会去那儿,我觉得非常有意思。
I just really used it as my time to get ready for that fourth quarter, right?
但我会用八月份来为我的第四季度做准备。
People came back in September and they were like just rolling fast for that prime time. I was in retail.
九月份人们重整旗鼓,努力干活,你知道我在最忙碌的零售业。
For all you young hustlers out there or old hustlers out there,
我想对那些天天忙不停的年轻人,还有那些年纪稍大一点的朋友们说,
August is the month, this is the month where guys,
其实八月份人们,
I'm taking plenty of time with my family, this is when people really slow it down.
我与家人在一起的时间也不少,但这个月人们的速度真的减慢了不少。
Look for those out of office replies cause they're on the up during August.
看看他们的回复,一看就知道他们在度假,他们在休息。
And if you're watching this video right now
如果你正在观看这段视频,
and if you want it as bad as I hear you want it and if this is your year
如果你的期望和我期望的一样高,如果你想这一年顺风顺水,
and if 2017 is gonna be your year and if this is your moment and if you're sick and tired
如果你想让明年也顺风顺水,不管你是病了还是累了,
and it's your time then, my friends, you need to understand these 30, is 30 or 31?
这是你的大好时光,你要知道这30天,是30还是31天?
These 31, I think, 31 days.
应该是31天。
I hope that's right in August. These 31 days in August is exactly when you triple down,
八月应该是31天,这个月一定是你努力冲刺,
when you 4X, 5X down on your hustle.
努力努力再努力的时候。
While everybody is at the pool, drinking rose, this is when you put in the grinding hours.
当所有人享受着休闲时光,喝着玫瑰红葡萄酒,游着泳,你一定要加大马力。
And get ready for your master plan.
为你的大计划做准备。
August, my friends, is always, always the month that sets the tone for your future,
八月份能决定你未来的走向,
for all the people that are complaining or disappointed at where they're at.
对那些天天抱怨,对自己失望的人也很有帮助。
Now, gonna flip it a little bit.
那么话说回来。
August is also the month for all those people that are content,got bags under their eyes,
对那些累得生出眼袋,对自己比较满意,
hustled all year, crushing it.
对那些忙碌一年的人来说也是一次机会。
It's a very strategic month to kind of go into that rest period.
这个月你可以稍微放松一下。
Get a little sun, play a little tennis, play in the pool with your friends, your girlfriend and your kids.
享受阳光沙滩,打打网球,和朋友,孩子在水中尽情戏水。
August is such an interesting month for me.
对我来说,八月份是非常有意思的月份。
You can play one of two ways but it depends on where your head's at right now.
这两种方式你自己选择,但重要的是自己的头脑是不是清楚。
