I have 4 black wires 4 white wires and 4 ground wires and 2 switches, 1 switch is for outside and 1 switch is for inside the door and the other wire is for the other switch.

1 of the black wires is hot, I wire the 4 ground wires together and attached to the boxes. I also attached the 4 white wires together. how do i wire the 1 (black)hot to the 3 black wires with 2 switches

There is no red wire and 2 small wires that are black

Most likely you have:

1) Feed in
2) Feed out
3) Switched load #1
4) Switched load #2

You'll have to experiment with the other 3 wires, to determine whether they represent switched loads, or one that should remain on regardless of what those switches are doing.

Then, you'll have to connect the wires together that represent the feeds (in and out), and connect pigtails from there to feed your switches.
