Summary

Kevin Hart reflects on his journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world, attributing much of his success to the support and lessons from his mother. Hart shares that his initial foray into comedy began with a suggestion from coworkers to perform at a local comedy club, where he discovered his passion despite a rocky start. He emphasizes the importance of opportunity and the transformative power of laughter, which he witnessed in his family growing up.

He stresses the importance of authenticity in his comedy and business endeavors, recognizing that his flaws and experiences resonate with audiences. Hart's commitment to personal growth and his desire to uplift others remain central themes in his narrative as he prepares for the next chapter of his career.

Uploaded 29-06-20In this video series, Tony brings role models into his home to interview them about how they turned obstacles into opportunities. As Tony says, “The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.” Kevin agrees. His first tip is to take advantage of every possible opportunity that comes to you. Have no fear. Believe in yourself. Kevin says, “The one thing I’m most confident in is me. If I’m gonna lose I’m gonna lose on myself.” That’s an empowering belief system.

Instead of allowing failure to bring him down, he chose to find the lesson. This is a principle he brings to every area of his life – he’s always learning, adapting and becoming a better entertainer, businessperson and man. He says, “If I don’t make those mistakes, I don’t get to be the man I am today. You’ve gotta take risks. But you have to learn from it.”This is called a growth mindset, and it’s one thing all successful people have in common. As Tony puts it, it is the belief that “We can do, have and be exactly what we wish.” Discover how to develop a growth mindset at https://www.tonyrobbins.com/business/growth-mindset and watch the video to hear more about:Kevin’s role models and the life-changing impact of his momHow he passes his principles of success to his childrenAdmitting that you don’t know it all – and staying curiousHow to use the power of proximity to elevate your own lifeKevin Hart’s strategies for success mirror many of Tony’s own strategies.
