0.92
00:02:56.600
building i'm gonna get back up to fucking 280 no you know no that's not how it works yeah i know
0.99
00:03:00.800
it's a mind fuck yeah it's a mind fuck yeah just lift lift eat right do some cardio and things
0.99
00:03:07.240
will work yeah it's a problem dude i was talking to your dad the other day about it i'm like he's
1.00
00:03:11.820
like yeah you know i probably lost 10 000 pounds in my lifetime you know because it's that fucking
0.96
00:03:16.440
roller coaster dude it's it's it's it's a process man yeah i mean look dude most people go through
0.96
00:03:21.880
that and and that is why you have to address the issue at the mental level as opposed to the
00:03:28.060
physical level yeah you know it wasn't until that really clicked for me that i was able to take the
00:03:33.340
weight off that i had for those of you guys that don't know i was uh very heavy i was 350 pounds
00:03:39.960
not not that there's a good 350 but certainly wasn't good on me um and i had done that too
00:03:46.820
man i had struggled with my weight my whole life you know i grew up pretty chunky yeah uh you know
00:03:51.380
i i always got bullied for being fat um and then i went through phases my whole life where i would
00:03:56.800
i would kind of get in shape i would get in like 80 shape and then i would get fat again and then
00:04:01.900
i would get in like 80 shape and then i would get fat again and i would go back and forth and back
00:04:05.500
and forth and back and forth and it wasn't until it clicked for me that like this is not a problem
00:04:11.620
with my body this is a problem with my mental fortitude and my ability to understand that
00:04:17.520
discipline is a perishable skill and if you don't practice it and you don't keep it up it fades away
00:04:26.520
and um when i finally made that connection you know which was right around the time that 75 hard
00:04:33.120
was born uh you know i've i've been i've been able to keep off i lost 110 pounds that first
00:04:39.060
year and i've kept it off for it's been 10 years this is the longest yeah it's been 10 years without
00:04:44.700
me gaining you know more than three or four pounds on the upside that's crazy yeah it's not crazy
00:04:49.940
it's but it's yeah i mean the heaviest i've been the last 10 years is probably
00:04:53.660
you know 272 or three yeah you know what i mean yeah and uh that's pretty good for me you know
00:05:02.500
but i i uh in the last year or two it's probably been 260 you know what i mean and it keeps
00:05:07.720
notching down and as i get older i'm you know working my way down to just being more healthy
00:05:13.400
and more more lean you don't see a lot of old guys walking around 260 no you know what i'm saying
00:05:18.160
and if you do it's not good yeah so you know my goal for this year is to try and you know make
00:05:23.940
that next step to where instead of it being 260 where i hover at maybe it's like too low 250s you
0.99
00:05:29.920
know 250 yeah so yeah bro that's what i'm working on well gas on the right yep the fuck i said to
0.98
00:05:35.380
the other day so i said i said gas on the right side i said yeah and fucking pizza bar on the
1.00
00:05:40.660
left motherfucker i'm watching you yeah yeah i got you dog i got you hell yeah man well guys
1.00
00:05:46.820
it is monday um a beautiful day to get better i got three good ones yep yeah let's let's let's
0.99
00:05:53.400
dive into these guys. Andy, question number one. Andy, I'm 34, married with one kid,
00:06:01.840
and I run a small construction company with about 12 employees. Five years ago, my goal was just to
00:06:08.140
get the business stable and make more money than I did working for someone else. Now we're doing
00:06:13.380
pretty well. We're profitable. My family's comfortable. Life is good. But something weird
00:06:18.100
has happened. The things that used to feel like big wins don't feel like wins anymore. Hitting a
00:06:25.480
revenue goal, buying a new truck, growing the team. It's all great. But after a week, it just feels
00:06:30.080
normal. And I'm already chasing the next thing. Part of me questions if this is what ambition
00:06:35.160
is supposed to feel like. But another part of me worries. I'm setting myself up to never actually
00:06:41.000
feel satisfied. Did you ever struggle with the bar constantly moving like that? And how do you
00:06:46.280
keep yourself pushing without feeling like nothing is ever enough well look
00:06:51.460
there's a lot in that question all right the reality of ambition if you are a naturally
00:07:00.800
ambitious human is always bigger better more uh you know and that's the nature that's how people
00:07:09.420
that's how people think that are wired that way when you're not wired that way um you know you
00:07:15.620
get to a point where you could feel like you're doing something wrong um and and that doesn't
00:07:22.400
it doesn't help it that everybody around you is telling you oh you need to relax you need to take
0.96
00:07:27.400
a break you need to chill and you know breathe in the air and yeah no shit man we all know that
0.73
00:07:33.540
um you know when you when you first start out and you don't have anything like you're starting
0.96
00:07:42.180
from zero and you get that first win or that second win or that third win and you start to
00:07:48.860
climb the ladder of the of the levels that you're trying to to to push down the path you know you
00:07:56.300
you get used to winning and it's just like you know new shoes or uh you know you go to the store
0.74
00:08:03.260
you order a new pair of jordans you're like fuck these are awesome and then a week later you know
0.74
00:08:08.020
you're like ah just shoes yeah and that's kind of the norm for people that um are pursuing a
0.98
00:08:17.300
higher level of existence whether it be their business their life or whatever once you get a
00:08:21.040
taste of it and once you understand what's possible it's hard not to want to go right
00:08:26.280
most people never discover what they're actually capable of doing so they don't really go very hard
00:08:32.920
But once you get a taste, once you understand like, oh, this really is as simple as inputs and outputs.
00:08:40.680
And if I do the right inputs and I allow time to do his job, it produces the output I want.
00:08:45.260
Once you understand that mentally, it unlocks a whole new level inside of you because now you understand the rules of the game.
00:08:59.420
and when we spend our whole lives around people who believe that it's luck or circumstance or
00:09:06.140
you know it's out of our control once we figure out that it is in our control it puts a whole
00:09:12.300
new level of like enthusiasm and and you know drive and ambition within us and that can happen
00:09:19.400
at certain points hopefully it happens as young as possible for you that didn't really happen for
00:09:24.400
me until I was in my thirties. Okay. Um, I worked and worked and worked and worked and work. I never
00:09:30.320
really saw much reward, but then when I started seeing the reward, like we started making a little
00:09:36.540
bit of money, things started going the right way that drove me into like overdrive dude, where I'm
00:09:41.720
like, Oh shit, this is how it works. Okay. So you're going through a natural progression of
0.97
00:09:49.360
someone who didn't really understand how it worked, you committed anyway, okay? And you did
00:09:56.020
the work. And now you're starting to have belief. We talk about this a lot on the show. The work
00:10:01.300
comes before the belief. You have to go out and be willing to execute over and over and over and
00:10:07.280
over again with nobody clapping, nobody cheering, nobody giving a shit, and you still showing up
0.98
00:10:14.200
and putting it at a high level. And you have to do that for a long time before the wins ever show
00:10:18.160
up. But once they show up even a little bit, now you change. Okay. So you're just someone who's
00:10:25.740
discovering this at 34. Some people figure this out at 25. Some people figure this out when they're
00:10:32.280
55. You're very young still. You may not feel it, but that's very young, especially in business.
00:10:38.520
And I don't think you should, I know you should not look at it like that's something wrong. You
00:10:44.700
should look at it like you just got a peek into uh what your true potential might be okay and once
00:10:52.380
you really understand what success is about because success isn't about your bank account it's not
0.96
00:10:58.600
about your businesses it's not about your personal development it's not about any of that shit
0.93
00:11:04.560
because the truth of the matter is everybody starts in a different place so you can't really
0.93
00:11:10.200
measure your result against someone else's result. That's not, you can, but it's not the
00:11:16.400
best way to do it. The best way to measure success is ask yourself, am I committed to the pursuit
00:11:25.220
of my own true potential? And what does that mean? That means that you are working to be the best
00:11:34.320
that you can be. And the better you get and the longer you go, you acquire more skills,
00:11:40.740
okay, which expands your potential for the future. All right. But because we're human beings
00:11:46.460
and because we end up dying, the reality is what you know when you're 80 years old
00:11:52.640
is way more than what you know at 40, but you don't have the physical capacity to still operate
00:11:58.140
that way so what happens is you have potential that you can't execute on all right so it's never
00:12:05.400
reached what does that actually mean yeah so what that actually means is that you make a commitment
00:12:12.300
to being the best you can knowing that you will never actually reach your potential you will never
00:12:20.060
actually reach it because it's always expanding this is specifically for business and personal
00:12:25.380
development, right? Like if you're a basketball player, you know, you get to be 45 years old and
00:12:30.640
you're probably going to start going downhill no matter what you do, right? But when it comes to
00:12:34.720
knowledge and it comes to information and it comes to what we know about the world and what we know
00:12:39.420
about business, and this is what I love about business is because it's a lifelong game.
00:12:43.960
You actually get better as you get older. So the guy who's 40 that's been doing it for 20 years
00:12:49.620
is going to kick the shit out of the guy who's 20. It doesn't matter how much money that 20-year-old
0.99
00:12:54.940
pours into it because he doesn't know all right so you have to understand that like as you progress
00:13:02.240
you're going to acquire more knowledge and more resources more skills more relationships
00:13:06.720
and that will expand your potential and when you've truly unlocked the the awareness that
00:13:14.740
you are capable and that your life is a result of your execution now you're working a different
00:13:24.620
game now you're you're on you're unlimited forward and that's where you're finding yourself right now
00:13:30.700
you just now cracked the code to where you realize okay i could keep winning but the wins don't mean
00:13:38.580
the same thing all right so how do we fix that well we fix that by expanding what it is that
00:13:47.400
we're trying to do all right and what that whatever that purpose is whether it's you're uh
00:13:52.440
you're a missionary okay and you you you you've served so many people for so long and you're like
00:13:58.520
man you know i'm kind of not used well okay what's the next level what's the next level after that
00:14:03.720
same thing with business same thing with anything the more you achieve the more skills you have
00:14:09.900
which allows you to achieve more and that cycle repeats over and over and over and over again
00:14:13.940
and the truth of the matter is there is no end and you hear this you hear this all the time right
00:14:20.900
it's not about the the destination it's about the journey that's actually true it is about the
00:14:25.760
journey and um so the answer for you is going to be you're going to have to adjust what your
00:14:35.240
purpose is your purpose by your email says i want to provide for my family i want to have a little
0.79
00:14:41.680
extra money i want to blah blah blah and that's all great shit that's like your foundation that's
0.97
00:14:46.040
the shit you have to have okay but that's not the win bro because now you have all this knowledge
0.99
00:14:51.900
now you have all these skills and now you have these relationships now you know how to execute
1.00
00:14:55.800
and if you stop now you're going to feel like a failure your whole life regardless because you're
00:15:01.080
going to always ask yourself what could i have been had i actually committed so the answer for
00:15:07.540
anybody who's in this situation is going to be to expand what it is that you're doing from here
00:15:15.000
just like you said you said the bar is always rising that's what champions do bro champions
00:15:19.880
don't hit the bar and celebrate when they get close to the bar they raise the bar okay and
00:15:26.680
they keep going and this is a fundamental difference between like perpetual achievers
00:15:31.300
and people who may win once or twice in their life and then end up losing yeah and what you
00:15:36.200
have to realize do is that 34 years old man you don't really have a choice but to go any
00:15:41.500
to go harder because the truth of the matter is, is the world is continuing to move. Okay. It's
00:15:50.040
always progressing forward. And if you're the guy who says, Oh, I'm 35 years old and I'm great where
00:15:55.640
I'm at. And you just kind of sit on that. You end up losing it anyway. So we don't have a choice as
00:16:00.780
entrepreneurs, but to keep pressing and keep pressing and keep pressing, expanding our purpose,
00:16:05.320
expanding the goals, expanding the horizon, not just for our own fulfillment, but also it's a
0.98
00:16:11.260
necessity of competition if you don't continue to push you will lose the shit that you have
0.89
00:16:16.640
okay so the only way to protect the comfort that you actually have is to stay on offense and keep
0.97
00:16:22.020
going okay so there's a lot there but at the end of the day it comes down to a very simple thing
00:16:30.060
you have the understanding now that you probably didn't have your whole life that if you execute
00:16:37.980
results happen and that's creating a situation where now you're equipped to actually win long
0.99
00:16:45.360
term and it's getting exciting for you but you're bored you're bored with the shit you're bored with
0.99
00:16:50.660
the truck or you're bored with this or you're bored with that that shit is irrelevant those
0.99
00:16:54.640
are nice things that happen along the way they're not the purpose of what you're trying to do right
0.97
00:16:59.700
like when i walk in my garage and i look at all my cars i don't think oh man i need to go work
00:17:03.560
harder so i can get another car these are just things that happen along the way because i'm
00:17:07.540
committed to what i'm doing we also got employees too right and like that maybe that maybe that's
00:17:12.560
the expansion well that that was what it was for me yeah um you know back in 2014 i caught pneumonia
00:17:18.080
and i wasn't able to go to work for a long time seven 17 days in a row it's the longest i've ever
00:17:24.020
the reason i know that is because i've never missed that many days and you know i was sitting
0.98
00:17:28.960
at home and i'm watching my bank account you know continue to grow but i'm fucking miserable bro
0.98
00:17:34.480
i'm miserable and it dawned on me that like oh shit this is why because i never understood this
0.99
00:17:40.960
like why why does this successful why would a dude with all this success and all this good
0.99
00:17:46.120
shit going on why would they go kill themselves that doesn't make sense right and i started to
0.81
00:17:51.140
figure it out because once you like if you've made your whole identity achievement and then
0.99
00:17:56.160
you've achieved everything that you want especially if you're like naturally wired that way
0.95
00:18:00.440
it gets very empty because you don't know what to do you're like fuck dude i've done everything is
0.94
00:18:05.040
it like is this it and then you start like looking for a different purpose but you can't find one
0.90
00:18:10.460
because you've been doing this thing forever and the answer that i found in my little journey with
00:18:16.900
that was that i had to shift my focus from myself into my obligation for others okay and then you
00:18:24.280
know obviously continue to evolve the business too but whenever i went from thinking about just
00:18:29.660
myself to feeling obligated for all the people that helped me build this that changed my purpose
00:18:38.320
so now no longer is it it's not hard for me to show up at 27 years in because i know that if i
00:18:44.160
don't other people suffer you see what i'm saying i want to clarify that too because people will
00:18:48.400
hear that it's like oh well you know it must be saying it was it was bad to be selfless
00:18:52.940
or selfish in the beginning no you have to be like that's what got you you have to be
00:18:57.960
it was necessary you have to set the foundation yeah you've got it you've got to take care of home
00:19:03.140
first yeah that's the point yeah and then you understand like all right i gotta build and build
00:19:08.620
and build and build right yeah so important it's um you know being an entrepreneur comes with a lot
0.94
00:19:14.900
of mental battles it just does and most of the great entrepreneurs i know are somewhat fucking
0.98
00:19:19.900
crazy like they're just crazy type of people yeah and uh they're wired different they think
0.96
00:19:24.720
different they act different they talk different and none of the conversations that you have with
0.92
00:19:30.500
someone who is what you would call quote-unquote like a regular person those are not the conversations
00:19:37.360
that those people talk about like they don't talk about the kardashians they don't talk about sports
00:19:41.800
they don't talk about they're talking about business bro it's their whole life right like
00:19:46.560
even they're not gossiping and small no they're not gossiping like it's it's even when you're
00:19:51.600
having fun yeah and you're drinking and you're smoking cigars and you're doing the conversation
00:19:57.060
is always about winning it's always about like hey we thought about this did you see this guy
00:20:01.800
they're really doing it what do you think they're doing like that that's the conversation and that's
0.99
00:20:06.100
the kind of friends you want by the way yeah because you don't need this low life shit of
0.99
00:20:11.200
gossip and drama and all this shit in your life um but yeah man it's it comes with a lot of mental
0.98
00:20:16.960
battles and its growth and you're going through it and i personally believe that because of the
0.98
00:20:23.060
way that you frame the question you're much more aware than maybe you're giving yourself credit for
00:20:27.800
and the answer to your question is to continue to expand shift your obligation from yourself
00:20:33.520
to those dozen people that you have you said okay and and work on creating a big enough company
0.97
00:20:40.240
where they can have their dreams just like you're having yours you want to talk about big fucking
0.93
00:20:45.140
mission yeah you know how big you got to be for that it's got to be big yeah so like dude you got
0.99
00:20:50.400
a lot of work to do if you really if you really give a fuck about your people you know which you
0.54
00:20:54.020
should yeah so that's real man um so yeah man there's a lot to it and um at the end of the day
00:21:01.880
man it's a natural progression of of understanding and awareness dude i want to ask this too as a
00:21:06.800
follow-up like thinking about it this way too right because i've heard you say this before where
00:21:12.160
you know you're at a point where winning now is it's expected yeah right when did that when did
0.99
00:21:20.100
that shift or was it always that way because i got no i imagine like it's like you know fuck i
0.97
00:21:24.320
won i'm surprised i won yeah oh shit all right cool so when did that transition so
0.99
00:21:28.940
the first 10 years as you guys know we made
0.94
00:21:36.640
53 or 58,380 total for the first 10 years all right now remember this is before the internet
00:21:45.560
this is before social media this is before really like any of the new technology so that sounds like
00:21:51.240
a long time but you nowadays you wouldn't have to there was no way to advertise bro like now you
0.98
00:21:57.760
can run geo-targeted fucking you know uh e-com shit to your right i mean right down to the zip
0.99
00:22:03.760
code or the neighborhood right that shit didn't exist so it was just a lot harder and a lot longer
0.99
00:22:08.780
but uh for me you know it's the same thing i'm saying for this guy like once i started winning
0.98
00:22:19.800
a little bit and i realized like when i first started winning i was like oh shit dude it's
0.63
00:22:26.260
this is working this is amazing right i dissected what had allowed us to have those wins and i
0.64
00:22:33.100
started replicating those in other areas and it fucking translated so that's what gave me the
0.86
00:22:39.480
awareness for me to go from oh you know we had this one thing to work to like understanding
0.81
00:22:46.500
how it works okay and then once you understand how it works it takes winning from this thing
00:22:52.820
that is like lucky or happenstance or special circumstances to oh i'm in control of this
00:23:02.520
and when you if you're in control of it why wouldn't you expect to win yeah that should be
00:23:06.580
the expectation right so like true like real like great level achievers and winners they're they
00:23:16.180
anything less than a win it doesn't it's it's like i guess what i'm trying to say is like
00:23:25.520
the win stops doing the dopamine because you expect it but it also makes winning easier
00:23:31.360
all right yeah so you know what goes into it yeah yeah so it's not like there's it's only
00:23:38.300
magical when you don't understand it yeah and then once you understand it it's no different
00:23:41.680
than baking a cake bro you know if i put the ingredients in and i mix it up and i put it in
0.94
00:23:46.180
the oven for a certain amount of time i know what i'm gonna get i'm gonna get a fuck right
0.96
00:23:49.520
so once you understand the mechanisms and the process for creating you know the winning is
0.97
00:23:55.680
expected the downside of that is you're never going to get the dopamine that you got before
00:23:59.640
so like that's why the purpose is so important because it's not about like just the win it's
00:24:07.600
about winning big enough for everybody to win yeah has to be bro i love it dude hell yeah guys
00:24:14.340
uh andy question number two like dude nowadays like real talk i get way more excitement and
00:24:23.760
fulfillment from seeing people on my teams get a new car or or get a house or do their thing
00:24:34.240
right like that's the shit that i like now so it's different hell yeah no i'm in it dude
0.88
00:24:39.420
uh guys andy question number two andy i'm 20 and grew up in a house where money was always tight
0.98
00:24:49.360
My parents worked hard, but every conversation about money was stressful.
00:24:54.540
Now that I'm starting my adult life, I noticed I still think about money from that place of fear.
00:25:01.740
I either feel like I need to save every dollar or I get anxious about taking any kind of risk.
00:25:08.420
For someone like you who's gone on to build real wealth, how did you change your relationship with money if you didn't grow up around it?
00:25:19.020
yeah um okay first of all you got to realize that as much as you love your parents and as much as
0.99
00:25:25.000
they're great parents and all these things they don't know shit about fucking money or they'd
0.87
00:25:28.900
have a whole bunch okay um so you can't you have to remove yourself from that that psychological
0.99
00:25:37.900
pattern that you have been brought up with right money's money's bad money's evil too much money
00:25:44.720
is this blah blah blah blah don't talk about it yeah that money is just a tool it's leverage
00:25:50.780
okay and when you make it you can decide how you want to leverage that in different ways
00:25:56.820
you can reward yourself you can create more things you can do things for charity it gives you all
00:26:03.980
kinds of leverage and power that you're going to want and by the way as good people we have
00:26:09.440
an obligation to seek positions of power because if we don't bad people will all right so we have
00:26:18.200
to understand there's a reason why that narrative exists money's bad you know uh it's for greedy
00:26:26.380
people it's materialism it's this it's that it's evil nobody with money saying that it's it's it's
00:26:34.180
put down through the system intentionally to make you feel exactly how you feel which is
00:26:39.400
weird about money. Yeah. Okay. So you have to change your viewpoint on money. You have to look
00:26:44.120
at it instead of it like something that you're chasing or something that you're after. You have
00:26:50.780
to understand that money is simply a tool that people use to trade for a solution that they are
00:26:57.460
after. Okay. And when you start to think about it like that, that removes a lot of the guilt and the
00:27:04.760
shame and the things about money because you understand that you're solving this person's
00:27:09.220
problem and they are willing to give you the money okay so money is really a great thing
00:27:15.520
because you're solving a problem that person is willingly giving you the money all right
00:27:22.840
what's wrong with that yeah yeah nothing right sounds good to me money's only bad when people
00:27:28.680
cheat other people out of money okay and the reason that people think that every single person
00:27:35.120
cheats everybody out of money is because for 70 years there was no blow-off valve or uh
00:27:44.080
accountability for the biggest companies in the world that could advertise they were allowed to
00:27:49.100
sell shitty products because there was no way for customers to complain about it there was no
00:27:53.460
internet there was no way for people to talk and the only way for bad word of mouth to really
00:27:57.600
spread is if i saw you in person and what are the chances that i'm going to see you in person
00:28:01.540
and we're going to be hanging out drinking beers i'm going to tell you how shitty this was right
00:28:05.520
so word of mouth did not travel the way that it does now so now we live in this scenario and by
0.99
00:28:10.340
the way that's why a lot of old people say that shit that's why a lot of parents say that shit
0.99
00:28:15.380
because they grew up in an era where companies could get away with fucking people they can't do
1.00
00:28:19.980
that anymore all right now you might have some course sellers and some some you know scammers
0.93
00:28:25.840
and things like that on the internet that i'm talking about a real company if you're a real
00:28:30.180
company with a real service a real product um and you do a job half ass and charge people for it
00:28:37.800
everybody's going to know okay so what does that mean that means that the only way to succeed
00:28:44.320
long term is by doing the right thing and solving the problem the best way possible
00:28:48.700
and then them willingly giving you their money all right what's what that's ethical that's how
00:28:54.900
you're supposed to do it okay and by the way not only is that how you're supposed to do it that's
0.87
00:28:59.280
the only fucking way it works anymore so you can't really get wealthy doing shit the wrong way it's
0.90
00:29:05.600
not possible unless you're and i'm talking about for regular people like unless you're one of these
0.99
00:29:09.960
elites that was born with trillions of dollars and all these that's different i'm talking about
00:29:14.260
you and me and the regular person all right so you have to understand once you start to understand
00:29:20.740
that it removes a lot of the bullshit thinking that comes around money okay and um you do need
00:29:29.060
to change it because the truth of the matter is is that when you put your focus on money being
00:29:36.520
scarce they call it scarcity mindset that it will be harder for you to get money okay and that's
00:29:42.400
because like what you're the signals that you're signaling the universe i know everybody likes to
0.99
00:29:46.360
say well it's god not the universe well who the fuck made the universe if you believe in god
00:29:51.240
okay god made it yeah that means the rules are the same all right did is gravity real
0.91
00:29:57.340
who made gravity that's right you see what i'm saying right so we have to understand
00:30:01.280
that our world rewards intention very strongly and if you have the vibes that money's hard to get
00:30:09.800
money's scarce i gotta i better pinch my pennies you're gonna have a really hard time bringing
00:30:14.720
money in it's not it's it's going to be you're putting up natural resistance the universe is
00:30:19.000
hearing you say man money's got money's hard so it's going to make it hard on you you know what
00:30:25.400
i mean so when you can have when you can switch that into an abundant mindset where you think
00:30:29.780
oh you know money's just a byproduct of the of the of the quality of the work that i do
00:30:34.760
you remove that completely okay and then money starts to flow easier another thing that makes
00:30:40.120
money flow easier and i don't want to be telling anybody to be irresponsible but spending it yeah
0.91
00:30:45.980
okay like letting it go yeah spending it on some shit making sure that you're not overvaluing what
0.90
00:30:52.060
that money is i'm not saying don't be responsible but money's meant to be spent on things okay
1.00
00:30:57.940
there's no award for the dude that dies with the most fucking money that's right right bury yourself
00:31:01.980
right yeah so so like dude you know really think about all those things because this works just
0.88
00:31:10.180
like when when when people hate on other people it's the same thing all right you have to be very
00:31:15.940
careful about how you think when you see other people win if you see somebody else win and all
00:31:23.840
of a sudden you're jealous you're angry you get upset you are telling the universe i don't like
00:31:29.840
winning. And you know what the universe is going to deliver to you? A bunch of losing. Okay. So
00:31:35.160
you got to be very careful. And this is not just what you speak. This is what you think and what
00:31:40.220
you feel. And it takes time for you to really retrain yourself to see people and say, fuck,
1.00
00:31:48.640
yeah, man, that's awesome. Because if that dude can do it, then I can do it. All right. And that's
0.99
00:31:54.060
how you should be looking at other people's achievements. They should be inspirational.
00:31:57.120
you should root for them even if they're your competitor because if they can do it why the
0.93
00:32:01.600
fuck can't you do it why can't you do it a little bit better you see what i'm saying so once you
0.97
00:32:06.400
switch that and you and you do these things that we're talking about here your mindset about money
0.99
00:32:10.240
will slowly shift and you will become one of the people that you know gets it a lot more easily
00:32:15.320
yeah let me ask you this because you know i feel like a lot of people will say this also it's like
00:32:19.740
oh well money changes people you start making money you start you know oh he changed because
00:32:23.500
of the money does money change you or does it enhance who you are what's your what's your
00:32:27.700
feeling on that statement i think it depends i think it depends i think i know a lot of people
00:32:33.440
who have made money that have changed but not drastically like people like people like to say
00:32:41.580
yeah right yeah i think most of the time when people fucking say that i i think it's not about
0.82
00:32:46.940
the person with the money changing it's how that person sees that person right yeah so like and by
0.96
00:32:53.280
the way um you're supposed to fucking change you're supposed to change like i don't know
0.98
00:32:59.200
where this rule came about that you're supposed to stay in the same circle that you stayed in
0.98
00:33:04.820
high school and and and do you know like you're supposed to evolve you're supposed to grow you're
00:33:09.380
supposed to change and if you see someone that you haven't seen for five years and you haven't
0.73
00:33:13.740
changed you're not doing it right now then you talk shit about that right how does that make
0.78
00:33:17.260
so so like dude you know we have to understand dude that regular people are never going to
0.93
00:33:25.900
understand they're never going to understand it dude they're never going to understand it so
00:33:29.500
when you go out and you go from you know regular dude that hangs out with the boys you start the
00:33:35.960
thing and you know you start doing it and everybody's like oh that's cool you know and
00:33:40.160
then you start doing a little more and they're like oh when are you going to get a real job
00:33:42.940
and then you start doing a little more in 10 years all of a sudden you know you're killing it
00:33:47.780
and they're in that same spot of course they're going to see you as change because you did
0.99
00:33:52.000
fucking change right but like i would like to leave you guys with this thought why the fuck
0.98
00:33:58.280
would you not want to change don't you want to be better don't you want to be fitter don't you want
0.99
00:34:04.180
to be more intelligent don't you want to make more money is that a change yeah okay another
00:34:09.400
the reason you got going so are they wrong that you changed right they're not wrong right that's
00:34:14.600
their perception now i have seen some people that you know like i said they've changed a little bit
00:34:20.140
but mostly you know i think it accelerates the the qualities of the people it enhances them or
00:34:25.060
uh it amplifies the the negative traits about them yeah um like if you're a bad person with
00:34:31.260
no money you'll be a bad person yeah but dude bad people don't keep their money man yeah they always
00:34:35.060
end up doing something fucked up they get into something illegal they they try to cut a corner
0.96
00:34:39.760
they they piss people off they do they get their ego like here's one thing you're going to
00:34:44.760
understand in business if you keep going you're going to find out that even when you're a quote
00:34:51.100
unquote big dog you're still a little dog all right and there's still a lot of people that
0.99
00:34:56.560
are way fucking smarter than you and way better than you and it's funny to me because you know
1.00
00:35:02.140
you see a lot of these mid-sized business owners and they walk around like they got a 10 foot dick
1.00
00:35:06.620
bro and it's like bro like who do you who do you hang around like do you like you know what i'm
0.90
00:35:14.140
saying like you should always be trying to be surrounded by people doing better than you
00:35:18.720
that's my opinion i try to i try to have friends that know more than me that do better than me
00:35:24.820
that are kicking ass more than me so that i can learn to be better right and um that humility
0.79
00:35:31.320
has to stick regardless of what that revenue or your paycheck says you know what i mean absolutely
0.92
00:35:37.260
dude um but yeah dude i i think it amplifies people i think good people like good-hearted
00:35:43.900
people they make money they do good things with it they do more good things yeah very selfish
00:35:48.040
people um you know they will hoard all the money and their company will go out of business so like
0.99
00:35:53.500
you know does it change people yeah it fucking changes people you're fucking not broke you're
0.99
00:36:00.020
you're fucking living in a nicer house you're able to do shit you're able to do whatever the
0.99
00:36:04.020
fuck you want that's a pretty big change from where the fuck you were so they're actually right
1.00
00:36:08.300
that you change but it's not a bad thing yeah and that's where you got to get your mind around
1.00
00:36:12.200
it's okay if if if your p if your friends from high school aren't saying man he changed then
00:36:21.320
you did it wrong right you're doing it wrong that means you're staying in the same spot
00:36:25.860
and let me ask you something if the people that you used to be around
00:36:30.300
can still relate to you and you have these big goals doesn't that mean that you're you're still
00:36:39.440
understood by the the base level people which means you haven't evolved enough not good right
0.99
00:36:44.700
what it actually means is you're so far away from where the fuck you want to go
0.98
00:36:48.260
like if you're actually on the path to where the fuck you want to go everybody that ever knew you
1.00
00:36:52.480
when you were fucking in high school or 20 or in college is going to be like damn that dude
1.00
00:37:00.620
fucking changed yeah if they're not saying that shit then you're doing something wrong i love it
1.00
00:37:05.180
i got one more thing on this for the young bucks yeah i'm gonna because i know we we talk a lot
0.99
00:37:09.000
about this too right and i think you said it somehow to the effect of like you know like
00:37:15.800
because people will say like oh more money uh you know less problems or more problems i mean
00:37:21.380
said a few different ways where money makes you know uh you don't have any problems if you get
00:37:25.720
rich right yeah and the way you've you've said this to me at least is like no you just your
00:37:29.940
ability to solve problems gets faster that's true you know what i'm saying yeah but also
00:37:36.060
you have bigger problems yeah okay and also you you deal with mental problems okay like like like
00:37:42.700
For example, okay, if you, man, I don't know how to say this.
00:37:56.260
When you make a lot of money, all right, and let's say your friends and family don't, okay,
0.96
00:38:03.220
and they come to you for 500 bucks all right you know that 500 bucks means a whole fucking
0.97
00:38:13.620
lot to that person okay but you also know that if you give them the 500 bucks you're actually
00:38:21.100
keeping them from learning the lesson of how they got in that position in the first place
00:38:25.800
so there becomes this like moral argument inside of your head that comes with a lot of guilt
00:38:31.920
sometimes all right sometimes you want to really help someone but you also know that if you help
0.98
00:38:36.780
them you're actually handicapping them and then those people think that you're a fucking greedy
0.97
00:38:41.740
penny pinching uh you know miser that doesn't want anybody to fucking have any money right you
1.00
00:38:47.020
know what i'm saying so they there's all kinds of things that come with it dude yeah it does not
0.98
00:38:52.340
solve your fucking problems that's for sure it takes away the problems that you have now and
0.99
00:38:57.500
replaces them with different problems that quite honestly are a lot more emotionally intense to
1.00
00:39:03.420
solve than what you had when it was just like hey i want to go to the steakhouse but i can't so i'm
00:39:07.840
gonna go to steak and shake you know what i mean that's right so it's it's different man it's not
00:39:12.320
it's it it allows you leverage it allows you to make better decisions it allows you more freedom
00:39:17.340
it allows you to help more people um it allows you to live a better life but at the end of the
00:39:24.440
day there's more responsibility with being that person because you know then on top of it dude
00:39:29.100
you're gonna have people that come to you and tell you this like bro i could tell you so many
0.67
00:39:34.460
fucking war stories about this dude one time i tell one okay one time i had an employee
0.93
00:39:42.620
who and this is many many years ago who came to me and said they weren't doing very good
0.98
00:39:51.680
and I went back and I asked him I said hey what's up well you know I got medical bills I've been
00:39:56.420
having all these medical problems I I owe you know eight thousand dollars and it's making me
00:40:01.060
freak the fuck out I max out on my credit cards this that the other so at one point in time this
0.98
00:40:07.820
was a pretty good employee and so I'm like fuck all right well let me let me handle this all right
0.99
00:40:14.880
so i gave him a check for eight grand all right
0.97
00:40:18.340
the next week the person quits quits the company yeah yeah so i call back to the department that
00:40:29.700
they work in i say hey did so and so quit and they're like yeah and i'm like what's going on
00:40:37.320
with this person and they were like well you know they they were they've been kind of like missing
0.88
00:40:42.920
work and they've been kind of you know they've been dealing with this medical shit i'm like okay
0.77
00:40:46.600
well how many days have they missed and this was like may and i said well how many days have they
0.98
00:40:55.620
missed this year 72 fucking days 72 fucking days i didn't know this jesus so then i was like well
0.99
00:41:04.640
why does this person still have a fucking job anyway yeah how did he quit why didn't we fire
0.98
00:41:08.160
right yeah so so then i go in and i tell my brother i said dude let me tell you this story

00:41:21.700
i'm like what and he goes dude that same person i'm not going to use her name i should that same
0.98
00:41:30.420
person came to me two weeks ago and i gave him five grand oh fuck yeah yeah yeah yeah yep totally
0.96
00:41:41.140
fucked us okay and so like when you when you oh when you know someone who can help you and they
0.99
00:41:47.620
decide not to there's a reason and the reason likely is one they know that i'm holding that
0.92
00:41:56.280
you they the person with the money knows that if they solve the problem that the person won't learn
00:42:01.560
a lesson number two um they know how many times they've been fucked by people okay so but that's
0.99
00:42:10.720
the kind of shit that happens to you when you when you're a good-hearted person oh man people
0.98
00:42:14.680
try to take advantage of it so that's fucked up dude i could tell you 20 i've never heard this
1.00
00:42:19.480
story i could tell you 20 other fucking stories just like that that's crazy yeah listen i'll tell
0.99
00:42:25.640
you this i've never helped someone not one fucking time where they didn't end up fucking me on it
0.99
00:42:32.640
ever fucking ever crazy so that's crazy yeah that's crazy fuck man i have two follow-up
0.99
00:42:42.400
questions in this so you said earlier that if somebody solves a problem and earns money for it
0.99
00:42:47.300
that's totally good that should we should try for that yeah what if someone's business is not
00:42:53.800
exactly solving a problem and some something selective or elective like for example uh
00:42:59.320
decoration lights selling cake ice cream things like that you're still solving a problem for the
00:43:05.000
experience well how how would you position it okay let's use your your uh decoration lights thing
00:43:12.920
what's the problem i need lights no what's the problem i don't have decoration i don't know how
0.92
00:43:19.480
to do it i don't like this fucking room okay that's a fucking problem for me the design okay
0.99
00:43:24.500
like i look around here and this doesn't feel right i don't like this shit okay all right so
0.99
00:43:29.120
i go hire you to come in and do the decoration and when i walk in it's fucking awesome and i'm
0.98
00:43:36.600
like holy shit z shot this is amazing bro and you have like a bottle of champagne sitting on the
0.97
00:43:43.000
table and you do a little extra kind of little extra things that person me is going to say
0.99
00:43:49.040
how much is this and you're going to say i'm going to say fuck that's it here here's some more you
0.98
00:43:55.100
know what i mean that brings me to my second question like for example when people are offering
0.96
00:43:59.580
those kind of services which are elective meaning like people don't need them they choose to have
00:44:04.740
them yeah so often people are very hesitant to ask for appropriate amount of money because the
00:44:10.300
i don't know people want this or not or they lowball themselves how do you tackle that the
00:44:14.620
reason most people price incorrectly is because they're pricing emotionally based upon their life
0.87
00:44:24.420
experience up until that point funny enough this is what makes most sales people suck
00:44:29.800
all right a salesperson that's selling a let's say a thousand dollar product who's making
0.99
00:44:36.280
you know 20 bucks an hour all right thousand dollar products fucking a lot of money to them
0.89
00:44:43.980
so they get this natural hesitation based upon what they think is expensive and then they hesitate
00:44:51.200
to ask for the sale even though that person over there thousand dollars might be like five dollars
00:44:58.280
to them so there's a psychological barrier that has to be overcome how do we overcome that well
00:45:04.260
you have to understand why do you think this is what we talk about multi-level thinking okay
00:45:09.760
i think this here's what i think i think this is too much why do i think that
00:45:16.440
that's where you're going to find the answer okay so you think this you catch yourself thinking that
00:45:22.260
why do i think this the answer is because you grew up in a situation or you are currently in
00:45:28.740
a situation where money is scarce correct so you are afraid to ask for something that is expensive
00:45:35.880
to you that may not be to that person this is a huge dude when i was training our sales force
00:45:42.620
just in the stores a big problem that we used to have is that people would judge people based upon
00:45:47.460
what they were wearing or what car they drove up in and you cannot do that bro because some of the
00:45:52.440
most wealthy people they don't look wealthy dude they look they walk around in jorts and a harley
00:45:57.680
davidson shirt and you know loaded yeah and they'll have five thousand dollars in cash in their
00:46:02.740
pocket yeah yeah right so you don't you don't know and you have to understand that the reason
00:46:09.160
that you think that's a lot of money is because it's a lot of money to you yeah but is it a lot
00:46:13.620
of money for what you offer and you have to be honest you know um if you're offering a great
0.99
00:46:19.000
product and it's you know like you're doing your room decorating and i walk in and i'm like fuck
0.97
00:46:24.300
this is awesome and the and i say how much is it and you say oh it's two grand and i say
0.98
00:46:30.900
two grand fuck yeah bro you're way too low you're way too low you need to be at like 10 grand to
0.97
00:46:39.360
where the person who's buying has been like this is a lot of money but fuck dude it's really good
0.99
00:46:46.280
too okay like you have they have to pause for a minute to understand if it's like worth it yeah
0.70
00:46:52.880
and that's where you start to find out if your pricing is in the right spot or not if they don't
00:46:56.460
hesitate at all you're way too low way too low you're not gonna make any money okay you got to
00:47:01.900
be in that zone and it's got to be appropriate to the quality that you offer right like if i come in
00:47:07.260
and it's pretty good and you say uh it's two grand and i say
0.97
00:47:13.440
that might be appropriate for the level of work that you did right but if you're kicking ass and
0.89
00:47:20.560
you're undercharging that creates a problem for you and that comes from your own inability to
00:47:26.840
understand what your product's actually worth meaning what the solution is worth to that person
00:47:32.280
you're not your customer dude that's right you know what i'm saying so you have to think about
00:47:39.040
it and separate yourself from the idea that nobody will buy this no that's not true you
00:47:46.220
you just can't afford it yeah and by the way by the way you guys have no idea how much money is
00:47:53.140
out there okay you live in a if you don't have any money it's probably it's a high likelihood
00:47:59.780
that none of your friends have money too all right which means that you're living in a scarcity
00:48:04.540
mindset all the time you're going to dinner and everybody's bitching about oh i had two beers i
0.97
00:48:10.200
had one beer i had fucking nachos i and they're divvying up the shit right rich people don't act
0.99
00:48:15.680
like that they they fucking fight over the bill they're like no i'm fucking paying it right yeah
0.99
00:48:21.400
it's a different thing and when you start to remove yourself from this scarcity mindset
0.97
00:48:27.940
it because this goes into the question that we were answering it allows you to price things
00:48:32.960
more appropriately okay got it we got time for one more yeah we could do a whole episode on
00:48:40.620
on pricing dude yeah like but but but but that's the basics of it yeah yeah yeah well the market
0.98
00:48:47.400
is going to tell you too right the market always tells you yeah yeah yeah you're too fucking this
1.00
00:48:51.380
too much well it ain't they good well or you're marketing the wrong customers yeah yeah oh fuck
1.00
00:48:57.960
bro that is you can't market a premium product to a regular customer bro they're always going to say
0.99
00:49:02.320
it's too much it's not for them right the biggest the number one attitude that you can have about
00:49:07.960
your business is really simple i'm not for everybody you're not going to get every customer
00:49:13.880
you're not going to get every single person no matter how great you think you are you are not
00:49:17.820
going to have it you the best you can do like we talked about i think last week or the week before
00:49:22.780
is you have 50 of the population that might like what you have they might like it your job is to
00:49:31.000
make as much of that 50 love it as you can okay you have to not worry about the people that just
00:49:38.660
aren't for you that you know what i'm saying like like dude the dude buying uh costco protein
00:49:44.620
ain't buying first form it ain't happening i don't even we don't even market to that person
00:49:49.140
you see what i'm saying that's right it's a different thing so uh you just have to understand
0.92
00:49:55.160
where you're at and and to add on top of that dude it's fucking math okay like does the math math
1.00
00:50:04.560
like are you running a profitable business if you're not it's probably because you either suck
0.99
00:50:10.700
or your prices are too low it's one of the two it's probably a combination of both yeah i love
0.89
00:50:15.640
it dude i love it guys we got time for one more we gotta get this in here guys andy question number
00:50:21.620
three. Andy, I'm almost 40 and I've been working in corporate finance for about 15 years.
00:50:31.120
It's a good job, good salary, good benefits, stable career path. But for the last few years,
00:50:37.960
I've had this idea for a business in an industry I know really well. And I can't shake the feeling
00:50:45.560
that if I don't try it, I'll regret it later. The problem is problem is I've got a mortgage.
00:50:51.620
two kids, and a lot more to lose than I did when I was younger.
00:50:59.220
Walking away from stability to take a risk feels irresponsible sometimes.
0.98
00:51:05.060
When you were earlier in your career and thinking about making a big move,
00:51:09.360
how did you decide when it was time to actually bet on yourself
00:51:16.220
All right, first of all, I didn't have an option.
00:51:20.080
if i didn't do what i what i did i would have been digging ditches all right nothing wrong with
0.96
00:51:25.700
guys that dig ditches but i didn't want to do that yeah all right so i didn't have a fucking
0.99
00:51:29.040
option so i had to go that was it i didn't have a choice one of the things and this is why i
0.68
00:51:34.780
encourage all you young people to get now get in the game now all right and young people doesn't
00:51:40.340
mean 20 it means like under 40 okay which you are but especially for you guys that are 20 yeah all
00:51:48.140
All right. Get in the game now. Don't fucking wait, because here's one of the things that allowed
00:51:54.740
me to be able to continue to press. I didn't have a mortgage. I didn't have kids. I didn't
0.98
00:52:02.500
have real bills to pay. I live way below my means for a very long time. I limited the ability or
00:52:10.080
I'm sorry, I limited the responsibility that I would have and the financial obligations that
00:52:15.800
would have which allowed me to go freer okay and i didn't have a problem i didn't have a problem
00:52:22.040
living below my means because i never had anything you know what i'm saying so it was just like once
00:52:26.760
i started being able to go to dinner and pay for it and not worry about it like that was a that was
00:52:31.240
a big deal right so it wasn't like i was like living i didn't feel like i was starving right so
00:52:37.800
all of these things contribute to having a lot a lot less drag and more momentum moving forward
00:52:44.760
Now, for someone who does have a mortgage and kids and family, let me say this.
00:52:51.780
There's lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of people who have
00:53:00.280
And the way that they do it is they think about it.
00:53:03.420
They do a couple of things tactically, but how they think about it is just like you said,
0.99
00:53:11.720
What's my life going to be like if I don't do it?
0.99
00:53:13.620
Am I going to be 60 years old, 70 years old, wishing I had, which you will, especially
00:53:28.460
It probably means we're going to have to make some different moves with our life for a little
00:53:32.160
We're going to, we're going to, we're going to sell this house.
00:53:39.300
and you start to minimize your liabilities which allow you less drag and more freedom to go where
00:53:45.720
you want to go the whole system works if you why do you think they tell you go to school get a
00:53:53.740
degree let me ask you this why do you think let's just stop right there let's forget about have a
00:54:01.300
family do this do that do this this this because i do think having a family is very important
00:54:06.040
why do they tell you to go to high school get a college degree to trap they they want to
0.95
00:54:14.600
financially trap you done so that you have to fucking work inside their system all right
0.97
00:54:21.200
so the more that you can keep this drag off of you the better and more free you are to chase
0.90
00:54:28.240
your dreams this is why guys like warren buffett even though he's like the richest dude in the
0.95
00:54:33.580
world or one of them still lives in his fucking same fifty thousand dollar house in omaha right
0.90
00:54:38.500
so when you think about like should i do this or should i not i would highly recommend that
0.80
00:54:45.740
you do it for a bunch of reasons one you're going to regret it if you don't two um you said you work
0.97
00:54:53.200
in the financial industry how long do you think it is before ai smart enough to fucking advise
0.96
00:54:58.180
people on their finances yeah i got a mass scale fucking it's very quickly it's not happening right
0.89
00:55:05.140
now there's a lot of failures right now with that but it will come yeah all right so i don't think
0.99
00:55:10.520
you have the security you think you have that's real shit and you should think about that if i
0.97
00:55:17.180
were you and i would like let's say i was your homie and we were i would say dude you need to
1.00
00:55:22.600
go fucking do that right now and that's what i would say to you you need to go fucking do it
0.99
00:55:27.360
Two, you're not as secure as you think you are.
00:55:29.300
Three, you're going to need a lot more money than you think
00:55:31.040
to be into the upper split that's about to happen,
00:55:39.060
And everybody that's listening to this, that goes for you.
00:55:45.640
And the people who are working like what would consider
00:55:48.500
to be traditionally a secure job is now in question.
00:55:56.280
i think i want to follow up on this piece because i think it needs a little bit more
00:56:00.920
clarity bro it's like you know helping people understand like there's gonna be things that
00:56:08.000
like the sacrifices people were like oh i gotta get a smaller house that's a sacrifice it's only
00:56:11.800
a sacrifice if you lose yeah it's only a sacrifice if you lose otherwise it's investment yeah yeah
00:56:18.900
but like i mean you got to make those choices if you if you if what you say you want is really
00:56:23.500
what you want right for sure that's what you got to do but most people are so afraid to take any
00:56:29.240
step backwards maybe it's because you know their family or maybe the social pressure they don't
00:56:34.800
want to they don't want to be embarrassed they don't want to look like they're losing
0.99
00:56:37.680
that shit doesn't fucking matter and most people waste their whole lives sitting on something that
0.99
00:56:43.440
they really want to do because they're trapped in this scenario and you can get out it's just
1.00
00:56:47.920
going to take some creative thinking and some willingness to look stupid for a minute which
0.76
00:56:52.000
is required for anything that anybody's building so you know these are all these are all fears that
0.93
00:56:59.840
most people have when they start a business because most people when they do start their
00:57:02.960
business they do have other liabilities in their life quote unquote meaning things that they're
0.99
00:57:09.160
financially obligated to right your kids your family your fucking house you got three car
0.99
00:57:14.680
payments whatever right you need to minimize all that shit okay and nobody's going to remember that
1.00
00:57:19.620
when you're fucking when you've built your company into a 20 million dollar company or 50 or 100
0.99
00:57:24.520
million dollar company no one's going to remember that you went from driving a fucking denali to a
0.99
00:57:29.660
to a fucking toyota corolla bro yeah they're not gonna they're not gonna remember that because
0.98
00:57:33.700
you ain't driving it now yeah it's automatic and by the way they don't even care yeah they don't
0.98
00:57:37.860
even care it's a it's a it's a you're afraid of like these people gossiping about they're
00:57:46.420
going to gossip about you anyway what do you what do you talk if you don't win they're going to call
00:57:50.200
you a loser if you win they're going to say oh you did something like these people are going to
00:57:54.280
gossip anyway so like you can't let all of these fears roll around your head and keep you from
1.00
00:57:59.600
going after what you really want that's stupid yeah like how stupid is it to give up all of
1.00
00:58:06.200
your hopes all of your dreams everything you've ever wanted because people that you once were
1.00
00:58:11.340
close to might not like it that's that's extremely fucking stupid okay so if i were the if i were you
0.99
00:58:19.960
i'd fucking go right now and i would make those decisions i would do what needs to be done and i
