00:02:54.940is monday it's time to get people better let's do it let's fucking do it i got three good ones for
00:02:59.040you guys andy question number one andy i grew up in a pretty average family my my parents worked
00:03:07.220hard, kept food on the table, and honestly gave me a good life. But now that I'm older,
00:03:12.240I want way more out of life than what I grew up around. More money, more freedom, bigger goals,
00:03:17.560all of it. And sometimes I actually feel guilty for wanting that. Like I'm somehow disrespecting
00:03:24.740where I came from or acting like I'm too good for a normal life. Did you ever struggle with
00:03:29.620that tension between appreciating where you came from while still wanting a completely different
00:03:34.600in life look you guys got to understand man the whole point of good parents is that they are
00:03:42.740setting you up to do better than what they did that is the point and you can be proud of your
00:03:48.340parents and you can be grateful for what you had and still want more and I promise you if your
00:03:53.220parents are actually good parents which they probably are that's what they did all this stuff
00:03:58.440for you for so you can't let your because this all comes from people in society man like and the
00:04:08.960noise from the small minority of people that are bitter and frustrated and you know have chosen
00:04:18.380to not go after their dreams and not go after their goals and not become what they could be
00:04:25.280and then pretend as if they chose this life under the guise of being humble.
00:04:32.020There's a lot of people out there like that, but you have to understand
00:04:35.320these are the people who will say things to you.
00:04:38.280Like, oh, you think you're too good for us or, oh, you think this or that.
00:04:42.120And all you have to hear it is once or twice, and it makes you feel very guilty.
00:04:47.900But you got to understand that's bullshit.
00:04:49.820that's coming from people who have never and will never do anything with their life even though
00:04:57.660they still had the same opportunity to do that so what happens with these people is
00:05:02.540they feel the way that you feel at some point in their life they had goals they had dreams
00:05:07.680they had ambitions and for whatever reason maybe it was too hard maybe uh you know they they
00:05:15.740succumbed to the social pressure of keeping it real and staying small like for whatever reason
00:05:23.780they didn't go and then what happens is over time in order to deal with like the frustration and
00:05:32.460the anger that they have with themselves for not going they convince themselves that this lesser
00:05:40.100version is actually what they wanted right and that there's some sort of virtue to it and that
00:05:45.080you know they're living at a higher moral standard than you because you know i'm humble and i'm
00:05:52.340grateful and dude this is just a disguise for their own dissatisfaction of their own choices
00:05:57.520in life and these people often will say things to people who have goals and dreams and ambitions
00:06:03.920that if you're a good person they're going to make you hesitate a little bit it's like oh
00:06:09.160fuck i didn't like that i don't want to be seen like that right i don't want to yeah but what
00:06:14.040you don't understand is that by you giving up on what it is that you have in your heart and what
00:06:21.120your dreams are those things were placed inside of you for a reason they didn't come from nowhere
00:06:27.720okay all of us were born with some sort of purpose or goal or mission here some people were born to
00:06:34.660build businesses some people were born to become coaches some people were born to be great parents
00:06:39.640some people were born to do all these different things that the world needs and if you don't go
00:06:46.080pursue that the only person that is going to be angry at you about it long term is you because
00:06:51.960those people that say those little things to you they don't give a shit okay this is gossip to them
00:06:58.100this is a fleeting thought this is something that comes in their mind and goes out and sometimes
00:07:03.260people say things they don't even know they're fucking saying them right and they don't understand
00:07:07.080how it'll affect you and the truth of the matter is dude is we tend to believe that when we hear
00:07:14.300those things that that's everybody's perception when the truth is it's not nobody gives a shit
00:07:21.080what you do okay people are too worried about their own lives they're too worried about what
00:07:25.500they have or don't have they're too concerned with their own thing and because someone makes
00:07:30.620a fleeting statement at some point in your life the wrong way or the wrong tone or it makes you
00:07:38.580feel a certain way it sticks with you and then you assume that everybody feels that way and it's
00:07:42.880just not the truth most people are going to look at you and admire your ambition and admire your
00:07:49.340drive and say man I'm proud of you and I would hope that your parents are going to be the most
00:07:54.600proud because dude they did struggle and they struggled for a reason they didn't struggle so
00:08:01.080that you could sit on your ass and waste your talents and your dreams and your goals that's not
00:08:05.120why they did that they did that so that you would have the opportunity to go out and do more than
00:08:10.900they did and so you shouldn't have guilt about doing better than your parents are but you should
00:08:18.920have extreme gratitude that they did the harder work of putting you in a position to have that
00:08:25.820happen. And that is a noble thing for your parents. So the way that you should feel about it
00:08:30.880is very grateful and very appreciative. And when you get to the place where it is, you know,
00:08:36.040you should be trying to take care of them and make their lives better. And dude, I'll be real.
00:08:40.420That's one of the most rewarding things about becoming successful is that you could take care
00:08:45.120the people around you that took care of you and you didn't have anything. All right. So,
00:08:50.100and let's take this a step further. I know a lot of you guys struggle with this feeling of guilt
00:08:57.060about trying to be successful, but dude, this is a biblical concept. Okay. There's a concept in the
00:09:03.440Bible called the parable of talents. All right. And you need to go read it. And the whole point
00:09:09.260of it is that jesus rewards the people who take their talents and scale them out into the world
00:09:18.560okay he doesn't reward the people who hold on to him he doesn't reward the people who waste them
00:09:23.200he loves the people who take the talents and let them out into the world so that everybody can be
00:09:29.500inspired and everybody can learn it can do good things and being coming financially successful
00:09:35.060with your talents is what you're supposed to do and that's a biblical concept all right so when
00:09:42.140you have this and you know you might hear me saying oh yeah it doesn't matter well I don't
00:09:47.040know that's what Jesus said too okay so if all else fails go read that and tell me what you think
00:09:55.420because this feeling of not wanting to go because of guilt it's total bullshit man okay so you have
00:10:03.720to understand you were blessed with a vision you were blessed with a drive you were blessed with
00:10:09.680an ambition and if you don't put those things out in the world that's not what you're supposed to do
00:10:17.220man so dude it makes me think too it's like you know you kind of touched on it's like how much
00:10:22.780of that is just internal noise you're creating you know i'm saying like it's just static you're
00:10:26.680creating on your own bro dude it's the same thing look dude i can remember random people
00:10:35.140that i don't even really remember or know outside of that one or two things they said to me like
00:10:43.020that okay and what it makes you believe is that that person is constantly running around saying
00:10:48.420that shit about you no that person was drunk or in a bad mood or frustrated or angry and they
00:10:56.300showed their own insecurity and they projected it on you that's what happened that's all that is
00:11:01.220yeah yeah it's probably a fleeting statement i know this for sure i remember the people who said
00:11:08.580all these things to me and there's been a number of times where i've run into those people and
00:11:14.820i've said it back to them and i've said hey remember when you said that i think we're doing
00:11:18.940all right now and i'll say it as a joke i don't say it like hey fuck you yeah i'll smile and we'll
00:11:23.380make a joke out of it even though on the inside i'm like yeah fuck you that's right you're right
00:11:26.620right eat that shit yeah so but uh but dude every single time they don't remember it they don't
00:11:33.620they'll say i didn't say that and i'll be like dude i promise you yeah right that was 20 years
00:11:38.360ago you think i'm fucking making it up i remember it and uh they never do and and dude the reason
00:11:44.380they don't remember is because it's a fleeting thing that they're spouting off and so many people
00:11:49.280kill their dreams and their their their life and everything that they could have been because of
00:11:53.960some fucking moron at one point in your life who said this one thing and you've probably run into
00:11:59.800three or four of those people and those things stick with you and that's okay dude because you
00:12:04.180can use that shit I mean fuck dude I used all that shit to build myself into who I am and I
00:12:09.680still use it I still fucking think about those things intentionally um but you know I know what
00:12:17.440i'm really dealing with here what i'm dealing with is some idiot who said some dumb shit
00:12:22.280and i'm smart enough to understand that but i still use it yeah you know one other thing too
00:12:27.600that we've talked about before off air bro and it hits when because i think this is important
00:12:32.920for the young crowd too if more people knew how much good comes from winning yeah you know i'm
00:12:38.980saying like and you described this once to me it's like you know because when you were young
00:12:42.800you wanted the fucking coontage yeah how many jobs how many careers have you created because
00:12:48.340you wanted that fucking coontage correct thousands you know i'm saying if more people knew how much
00:12:52.440good comes from fucking just winning i mean how we just had cars and coffee yeah i do you remember
00:12:57.660the kid that came up he's like bro your lambo was the first one i ever saw manchester road yeah when
00:13:02.460i was like eight years old yeah i got a lawn care business i'm doing this and this right okay that's
00:13:07.380the shit that happens okay and you don't know it and so like that's even taking it further like not
00:13:13.180only should you go out and win you should let it shine a little bit and and walk in that fucking
00:13:18.700power because dude that's extremely impactful for people and i know it's uncomfortable i had a buddy
00:13:25.280of mine who uh sold his company for over a billion dollars and you know his share was a few hundred
00:13:33.200million dollars okay now when the transaction happened he was like 100k in debt you know he
00:13:40.920didn't have a lot of money and it changed his life and i saw on his social media the other day
00:13:48.160like somebody had made a comment about like kind of a hater comment right and he put it on the
00:13:55.540social media made a reel he's like yeah but here's what you don't see in this and that and kind of
00:13:58.940explain himself. And I sent him a DM and I said, Hey, I said, never, ever, ever let those people
00:14:06.340affect you. You have to understand your story is incredible. You did all that work. They could
00:14:13.040have done that same shit. They could have went out and did these things. You did that. And that's
00:14:17.820inspired so many people that you will never even know the ripple effect of what you've done is so
00:14:24.800impressive and if you keep the results of that to yourself you're hurting other people you're
00:14:31.900hurting them you're keeping them from dude there could be a kid out there like little andy who
00:14:37.740sees that and it snaps him into like holy shit dude i'm gonna do something great okay and this
00:14:43.600guy bro he i will say this okay i know a lot of guys with a lot of money and none of them know
00:14:50.880how to spend it as good as me okay like you know what i mean buy dumb shit they don't know what
00:14:56.420the fuck they're doing this guy's cool like he built a he built a really cool three level uh
00:15:02.120loft apartment and a high rise and it's like all james bondish and super clap so badass
00:15:09.400and he's starting to get into cars and do all these things and he's nervous about people
00:15:15.440thinking so i'm like how can they hurt you you're already fucking sold they're not gonna hurt you
00:15:19.100yeah we're gonna say shitty fucking penthouse yeah bro you know it's just tie that shit into
00:15:23.920your journey man let people know where you come from let people know your story so you know because
00:15:30.560a lot i just shared this last week on my story for those of you that follow me on instagram
00:15:34.080you know i put my before and after pictures up there which i haven't done in a long time
00:15:39.560and there were so many people that were like dude i didn't even know that you used to be that big
00:15:45.280i i've always seen you as you are now i didn't even know that that's crazy that's incredible
00:15:49.940and then right after it i i shared i reshared a post off my instagram that kind of gave the
00:15:55.880timeline of our entire success story and i said i said for those of you that think that i was
00:16:02.340somehow this just was the way it was this read this everything i've earned everything i have
00:16:08.380in my life i've earned like literally the hard way all right i'm not that fucking smart i'm
00:16:13.940smart enough to not make the same mistakes over and over again and I'm tough enough to keep going
00:16:19.600and that's why I am where I am but there were so many people that follow me now that didn't even
00:16:25.560know that like they didn't even know how we started they didn't know that we got the money
00:16:31.140to start this on twelve thousand dollars from painting parking lots they didn't know that it
00:16:36.240took us 10 years to make 58 grand total they didn't know they didn't know these things and
00:16:42.460those are the things that really show people okay man well maybe I can do this all right so it's very
00:16:50.220important for you guys to not only pursue what it is you know you're supposed to pursue but it's
00:16:57.480also important to share it and it's also important not fucking apologize for it you did that they
00:17:03.880didn't do that there's nobody can make me feel bad for what the fuck I've done bro they haven't
00:17:08.420been here the last 27 motherfucking years they're not waking up every day doing the same thing over
00:17:13.220and over and over for damn near three decades the only thing they've done that long is eat breathe
00:17:18.300and take shits okay so like not in that order so the point is is that that's your reward that's
00:17:27.640why you do this and it shows people that are like this person right here that's young it has
00:17:33.900ambitions that like not only do they have a chance but it makes them think man i need to be that guy
00:17:38.960for the next thing and this ties into what we talk about about personal excellence being the
00:17:42.780ultimate rebellion because when you start the ripple effect and it's how many people do we
00:17:48.060come up to us they say hey i lost 70 80 100 200 pounds hundreds fuck dude there was a literally
00:17:53.220a hundred literally that came up today saying that showing before and after pics bro yeah
00:17:57.140that's coming from me choosing to say fuck it i'm going and that will happen to you too but you got
00:18:05.380to have that courage in the beginning you gotta let go of this these two or three or five statements
00:18:10.520that people say that they don't even really understand what they're saying or how it affects
00:18:14.960you wipe that shit out you know or use it the right way and go out and become what you're
00:18:21.000supposed to become man 100 dude 100 guys andy uh we got question number two uh andy i own a small
00:18:29.280business and one thing that's been hard for me is accepting that nobody will ever care about it the
00:18:35.200way i do i'll stay up stressed about problems thinking about payroll customers meanwhile some
00:18:41.160of my employees are just there for a check and mentally clock out at five i don't even mean that
00:18:45.360in like a disrespectful way i just didn't realize how lonely leadership could feel sometimes
00:18:50.520how did you deal with that does it stop did it get better i really need some help because i know i
00:18:56.120can't do this by myself first of all what do you expect okay that's an entitled position that
00:19:02.680you're operating from there isn't you look man that is you are entitled you just don't know it
00:19:09.160okay you expect everybody to care about your thing the way that you fucking care about your thing
00:19:14.640that's not a real thing name me one person in a whole world that's like that people have their
00:19:21.780own lives they have their own problems they have their own goals they have their own ambitions and
00:19:25.980dreams your job if you really want people to help you with it is to create a big enough vision to
00:19:32.060where their dreams can fit underneath that umbrella then you will figure out that they actually care
00:19:37.280about that okay they don't care about your shit they care about your shit when they can build
00:19:43.060their shit with your shit. And that's what you have to understand. Nobody's going to care like
00:19:49.600you. Nobody's going to want to do the work you're wanting to do. And for you to expect that for
00:19:55.080other people to trade all of their life to do something that is just a job that's not real.
00:20:01.860And if you want them to step up and help, you have to be able to create it so their dreams can
00:20:06.180be accomplished. And I'm going to be real, dude. That's the most rewarding thing of having big
00:20:10.580goals and dreams and building big shit because when you could create a situation where other
00:20:14.680people do have the opportunity to do that and then they do it it's incredibly rewarding all right
00:20:20.760so if you want them to care like you care then you have to create opportunity by making the vision
00:20:27.860so much bigger than just for yourself when you do that you will find the right people that will
00:20:33.740step up and say fuck yeah i'm gonna do that fuck yeah that's gonna be awesome i'm gonna contribute
00:20:38.200to that. Now, all of a sudden they're invested in it. Now they do care. They're still not going
00:20:42.860to care like you care. Okay. Now to address the loneliness part, this is why it's important to be
00:20:49.360surrounded by other people who are on the same path. You can't hang around people who are quote
00:20:55.320unquote regular employees and you're that kind of person and then feel like they even understand you
00:21:01.380at all. So you need to look at things where you could be, you know, plugged in with other people
00:21:07.460with the same goals. This is why we have, and I have RTA syndicate. This is what operator standard
00:21:12.460is. It's people who are driven. It's people who want to win. It's people who are leading. It's
00:21:17.200people who are creating and becoming and doing big things. And when you surround yourself with
00:21:21.780people like that, you're not lonely anymore. Now you actually have shit to talk about. Okay.
00:21:25.880Because if you try to hang around your old friends, when you're on this new path,
00:21:29.880you're going to go to dinner with them and you're going to be talking about all the things you're
00:21:33.100doing and they're going to hear it as bragging, okay? People who are on the same path, they just
00:21:38.040hear this as like, oh, that's my life too. That's this and this and this. So you've got to figure
00:21:42.780out how to actively surround yourself with people who are on the same kind of path as you are and
00:21:47.740you'll feel much less lonely. And like I said, that is why RTA Syndicate exists. That is why
00:21:53.720the community aspect of the operator standard exists, okay? It's not part of the technology,
00:22:00.500but it is the community part these people are driven they're hungry they want to win and when
00:22:04.840you're around people like that you don't feel lonely yeah on the on the piece for the employee
00:22:09.120side right like when you had how first question is how long were you in business before you realized
00:22:15.200that lesson there 11 years 11 years yeah and then what what how did you find was the easiest way to
00:22:20.760kind of implement like how did you realize what the goals were or like did you intend like go
00:22:24.760figure out hey what are your goals guys cool let me make this bigger or what like how did that work
00:22:28.340No, I had a revelation like I just I realized if I want this to be big, just like she said, I can't do it alone.
00:22:37.700And and that means that I'm not going to be able to like a lot of people come in here, dude, and they're like, well, how do you find all these people?
00:22:45.160It's like, dude, we don't. First of all, we don't find them.
00:22:47.960OK, we hire for character, teach for skill. We hire for ambition and drive.
00:22:52.140We teach for skill. We we hire for hunger. We teach for skill.
00:22:56.140so it's a different process when you go to find people but secondly and more importantly
00:23:03.480you have to understand that these people are choosing to bet on you and when people choose
00:23:13.520to bet on you you have an obligation to them to create a path for them to accomplish what they
00:23:20.520want to accomplish and it's hard for somebody with massive dreams to understand that not
00:23:27.200everybody wants the same shit what you might want and see as success is generally not what
00:23:34.200everybody else wants what they want it like you might want to build a 10 million or 100 million
00:23:40.380dollar company these people want to make a great living they want to contribute to something that
00:23:45.460matters they want to be recognized for their contributions and they want to have fun and be
00:23:49.960able to then go do their other things you know whatever their life their life is you know and
00:23:54.260that's another thing it's like dude when you pick entrepreneurship as a path you have to understand
00:23:59.340it is not a job it is it you're you're you're it's an identity okay it becomes your life
00:24:05.380all right entrepreneurship is a life style it's not a it's not a career it's a lifestyle it's
00:24:11.980all-encompassing it bleeds into everything if you want to win and uh not everybody wants that
00:24:18.340they just don't they see the stress they see that they see the the weight they see these things
00:24:23.820they people don't want that they want to do well and they want to do well enough so they're not
00:24:29.520struggling they can you know live a lifestyle they want maybe a vacation a year yeah or a couple or
00:24:35.160whatever you know like but most you got to understand dude if you're an entrepreneur man
00:24:39.260generally your dreams and goals for yourself are much bigger than everybody else and here's the
00:24:43.520beautiful part if you could create a bigger big enough vision where they're all bought in and they
00:24:48.740want to win your your goals happen too so everybody wins but you have to look at it like an obligation
00:24:55.120okay like this is how I look at it if someone bets on me okay and and let's just use an example
00:25:03.420someone comes and they say I want to be a part of something that Andy's doing
00:25:07.840and they have a family and they have a wife
