My First Million | Steve Harvey Stories

[Music] here's what you have to think about and consider on your trip to becoming a millionaire I remember man when I first made my first million dollars it was in the night my manager who was living my best friend's name was wonho he's passed now one of her great friendships of my life and he came over to the house one day to give me a check and he said Big Dawg I don't know if you realize this but you a millionaire and I hadn't even been thinking about it because when I'm working I keep my head down just looking at the next step I got a tape I hardly ever look up at the top of the mountain I just looked down at the footings watched a sure footed along the way so I looked up with him I had 1 million 110 dollars he said man let's go celebrate so me and him went out to dinner I took some of my staff with me Tiffin glasses everybody toasted Steve millionaire and the next day he came over he said damn dog we spent $1,200 last night he said don't you ain't a millionaire oh by the way we got to pay taxes on this money that's another 40 percent I hadn't really half a million dollars I just know how hard it took me to get to the millionaire status there was a lot of nights man that I didn't get eight hours sleep but I was willing to lose some of that sleep to gain what I had gained and so I realized now in order to be rich I had to keep putting forth that effort because in order to get rich I just didn't know how I could sleep eight hours now I've since then change that and told people to get all the sleep you want if you want ten hours don't give yourself ten my bad don't let Steve get in the way of your health requirement but I live for myself that it held that I had to keep grinding and hustling and losing sleep to get to the million mark rich people really can't sleep eight hours wealthy people can sleep because they got money making money for them they got mailbox money coming in rich people usually don't have mailbox money we have service and appearance money we got to keep providing the service and the appearances in order to make the million but now in order to make the million I now have to go out here and really make two million so after I pay my taxes and go out and celebrate I still have a million but oh excuse me because I'm a millionaire I might want a nicer car so now I gotta go make some moment now excuse me because I'm a millionaire I might as a millionaire wanna have a nicer house so now guess what I gotta go spend that money to get to nicer house but now guess what I got to work harder than I worked before to afford the nice house the nice car pay my taxes and still have a million and oh by the way I want my mama to leo better than me so I gotta go get my mama house teeth which means I got an easy little bit mostly so I could make some more money pay the taxes on that money give my mama house give me a house give me a cop over mama might need a new car too I bought my mom a new car I don't by the way excuse me I might want to help one of my siblings out cuz I got two brother juices coming out and then somebody go on a boss and money and I'm gonna feel fun so I gotta go make some more money to help them and the feed goes on and on and on so if you think you can get eight hours of sleep and keep that alive and still stay a millionaire show me a better way and I'll do that too congratulations the only way to make a million is to constantly hustling back there hopefully by the grace of God one day I could become wealthy and give mailbox money and have my money making money from me you're not gonna get in that cat food then maybe then I can get eight hours sleep but until then [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] - - pom pom pom
