00:03:41.700 hell yeah man

00:03:43.560 But it's a beautiful day to get better.

00:03:46.500 It is.

00:03:47.340 And as always, I have three good ones for you.

00:03:50.060 All right.

00:03:50.500 Let's do it.

00:03:50.980 Andy, let's get into them.

00:03:52.040 Question number one.

00:03:53.120 Andy, I work with a bunch of people who are twice my age.

00:03:57.680 And one thing I've noticed is that a lot of them seem disappointed with how life turned out.

00:04:04.000 They don't say it out loud, but you can feel it.

00:04:06.580 And you've been speaking on perspective a lot lately, and it's changed how I am now looking at my life now.

00:04:12.560 So what are some of the biggest and most common mistakes you see people in their mid-20s make that lead to that type of regret later on?

00:04:21.280 Not taking their 20s seriously and punting them away and thinking that, you know, they should go travel the world and experience life and party it away and eventually they'll figure it out.

00:04:32.180 People underestimate how much time and dedication and energy it takes to actually build what we call, you know, the American dream.

00:04:42.560 and we have, and by no means am I saying

00:04:46.200 that you can't enjoy your life.

00:04:48.700 And I'm not saying that you have to work 24 hours a day.

00:04:52.420 That's not even, I don't even say that

00:04:54.200 for the most driven human being,

00:04:56.020 but you have to take it serious

00:04:58.180 and understand that this time

00:05:00.780 when everybody else is kind of, you know, messing around

00:05:03.420 is the time for you to get ahead, right?

00:05:06.500 You know, if you're running a race

00:05:08.220 and everybody else stops to tie their shoes for 10 years,

00:05:11.920 then you're 10 years ahead of them and that's where the people who actually build the lives

00:05:16.880 that they really want that's where most of them get that space from they get it from their 20s

00:05:22.760 that most people just you know kick down the road and act like it's it's no big deal and we have a

00:05:29.320 lot of people on the internet who tell people um you know you got plenty of time you got plenty of

00:05:38.920 time you got plenty of time yeah that's kind of true but do you maybe want to win or do you want

00:05:46.940 to win for sure and that's where you gotta really take it serious so i think like getting serious

00:05:52.820 about what you want to be and who you want to become and what you're trying to build and what

00:05:57.520 your goals are earlier in life the better okay the other thing is is i think a lot of people

00:06:03.760 you know they ruin their lives by attaching themselves to too much debt okay they they

00:06:15.120 they get too much debt too soon which locks them into a career where they can't afford

00:06:21.000 to pivot right they live beyond their means in their 20s because they want to show off to

00:06:27.040 everybody which by the way you can't really show off in your 20s everybody's broke that's right

00:06:31.680 OK, like your new Jordans or your brand new, you know, M3 or whatever that you're financing out the ass.

00:06:38.480 Like, dude, that's going to come back to bite you because that locks you into a place where you don't have the freedom to make pivots and choices.

00:06:45.040 So living below your means for as long as possible is a huge part of it.

00:06:52.180 You know, not locking yourself in to.

00:06:56.660 The wrong romantic partner early on, it's a huge deal, man, because.

00:07:01.680 dude the thing is when it comes to young men especially ambitious young men they are not the

00:07:10.440 decision makers in the relationship generally at that point in their life and so what ends up

00:07:16.640 happening is they end up taking whatever they can get meaning whatever girl will you know

00:07:22.620 fucking get naked with them and and sleep with them they end up you know uh

00:07:27.860 thinking they're in love and they make a partnership with this person and that person

00:07:33.500 doesn't have the same goals or dreams or ambitions and you also haven't become the person that you're

00:07:38.800 going to be you know when you're in your later 20s or your earlier 30s when you got plenty of

00:07:44.700 time to do that um by no means am i now if you want to get married young and that's your goal

00:07:51.280 and you understand what you're doing which you probably don't i'm not going to judge it but i'm

00:07:55.960 just saying how do you ask me how do people get in these miserable situations well most of it is

00:08:01.560 just they build barriers that they can't pivot out of so they lock themselves into a lifestyle

00:08:06.260 that they really have a hard time changing and that forces them to accept other things in their

00:08:12.080 life that make them unhappy later and so a lot of these people that you talk to who are older who

00:08:17.480 are disappointed in their life if you go back to when they were in their 20s you would be able to

00:08:23.460 see what they did and what they did was they went out four nights a week drinking with their buddies

00:08:27.600 um they fucked every chick that they could find and they locked down with the one that they could

00:08:33.340 uh just because she happened to want to like date him for whatever reason and then they say they're

00:08:39.460 in love and you know they take a job because they've over financed themselves and over leveraged

00:08:45.320 themselves because they're trying to show off to everybody else that's broke and then they end up

00:08:49.660 in a situation they can't escape. They run themselves into debt. They don't have the

00:08:53.560 freedom. And then by the way, you know, you can escape that, but that creates a whole new set of

00:08:58.860 issues. And most people just don't have the courage to make those changes later, right? For

00:09:02.860 whatever reason, they don't want to be seen going backwards. They don't want to be the person that

00:09:06.780 got a divorce. They don't want to, you know, uh, they, they lack the ability to make those pivots

00:09:14.220 because of you know their fear of what that's going to mean then so really dude like if you

00:09:21.500 really want to build the life that you want at your age i would suggest that you live way below

00:09:26.940 your means i would suggest that you take your career seriously i would suggest that you don't

00:09:33.480 lock yourself down with the first woman that will you know let her see your boobies you know like

00:09:38.480 like bro you gotta fucking you know realize that you're not at your peak yet you know

00:09:43.720 a lot of these girls they peak when they're in their 20s all right and

00:09:49.820 what happens is is you know you end up getting better and they end up getting worse and then

00:09:57.540 you're unhappy with it and then you know you're locked in because you got three kids and a

00:10:00.880 fucking mortgage so and a lot of people don't like to hear that they don't like to hear that

00:10:04.460 No, it's the truth.

00:10:05.360 It's the truth, dude.

00:10:06.540 And anybody who's in that situation, if they're honest with themselves, they can look at themselves

00:10:11.680 in the mirror and be like, fuck, that's exactly what the fuck I did.

00:10:14.280 You know, I hear it all the time, dude.

00:10:15.660 Or vice versa.

00:10:16.580 Women get in relationships with dudes who don't do anything.

00:10:19.040 And I don't discount the fact that there's a lot of women that continue to get better

00:10:24.300 too.

00:10:25.280 But I'm talking about the wrong women don't get better.

00:10:28.440 Right.

00:10:28.720 And that's what I'm talking about.

00:10:30.020 You get locked in with the wrong woman.

00:10:31.900 You see what I'm saying?

00:10:32.980 Absolutely, dude.

00:10:33.460 who who's riding the high of being the attractive girl in her young 20s she doesn't develop the

00:10:39.920 good habits to to keep herself together she doesn't have ambitions because every dude's

00:10:44.120 given her attention and then by the time she's 30 she's aged out and you know she's not contributing

00:10:51.000 she's not what you wanted anymore and you're at a better spot and now you've got this fucking

00:10:55.980 problem so i just think dudes you know you guys have to understand that you're not going to hit

00:11:02.360 your attractive what you're going to be able to attract and potential until you are that yourself

00:11:09.980 and so the faster that you can get that the better your selection is going to be and you'll

00:11:14.520 be able to find someone who's aligned and also i would recommend building that career first

00:11:19.860 building the lifestyle that comes with that career and i don't with my lifestyle i don't

00:11:23.840 mean the fucking cool shit i mean the work ethic i mean the schedule i mean the shit you got to do

00:11:28.480 because that way when you meet someone you're already doing that and that's what they understand

00:11:33.800 you as whereas if you're with someone and then all of a sudden you start doing all these things

00:11:38.240 and you're working extra hours and you're all this now you got to deal with someone who's not

00:11:42.280 used to that who's nagging you over it and now and dude like it's impossible because now

00:11:47.620 you can't focus all your positive energy towards moving forward you've got to spend half of it

00:11:52.560 dealing with this person that doesn't you know really support you right so there's a lot of

00:11:57.240 different things that people do um that end up creating this situation life and then there's

00:12:03.500 some people that just make bad decisions no matter how much they know the good decisions you know

00:12:08.860 there's there there's such thing as stupid motherfuckers that's right i mean that's a

00:12:12.120 real thing that's right and you know but a smart person will ask questions like you're asking and

00:12:18.820 say okay how do i avoid becoming them and and really dude it's real simple live way below your

00:12:24.320 means keep yourself out of personal debt as much as you can get your career aligned the best that

00:12:29.100 you can become in the best shape that you can live the live hard lifestyle because it's going

00:12:33.320 to keep you tuned it's going to keep you moving it's going to get you way ahead learn about the

00:12:37.420 new technology so you can move as fast as possible stick to these things build these things and then

00:12:42.860 when you have all of that shit going then find someone who is willing to accept this lifestyle

00:12:50.920 that you have chosen because it's very hard to go from like regular joe to entrepreneur

00:12:56.380 with this new lifestyle with someone who's not bought into that it's it's it's it's really

00:13:02.560 fucking hard yeah you know one of the things that that you opened my eyes to looking at very early

00:13:09.440 on was just the i the very simple idea that i do that you control much more than you think you do

00:13:15.060 right and i think it's important especially for the young guys it's like for sure like there's

00:13:19.940 things out there in place there's paths that you know we're told to go on right go get the degree

00:13:24.600 and get yourself in three hundred thousand dollar debt right like yeah cool and you can argue whether

00:13:29.940 you're really in control of that but what you're trying to point out is like there's it's all the

00:13:33.080 other shit that you are absolutely yeah 100 in control yes 100 dude and that if you could come

00:13:38.180 to that realization this is why i recommend the live hard program for everybody to live

00:13:42.400 because when you start to figure out that you are in control of the main things that dictate the

00:13:48.820 quality of your life, how you train, how you move, what you drink, what you eat, who you hang around,

00:13:54.660 the information you put in your head, you know, this skill of mental toughness, persistence,

00:14:00.820 grit, fortitude, perseverance, learning how to build your own confidence. Now you've unlocked

00:14:06.600 a superpower that most people will never unlock. And so whatever plan that you're working on,

00:14:12.900 you can get there. Now you may have a plan that doesn't work, but as long as you're moving down

00:14:17.500 the path and you're smart enough, you'll be able to understand, oh, this plan doesn't work and I

00:14:21.280 can pivot it. And most people just live their lives in a reactionary state. They live their

00:14:26.440 lives and kind of think like they have no control. They have no decision and outcome. It's just

00:14:34.300 whatever they get is what they get. And that's that. And there's never been anybody who's built

00:14:39.040 a great life accidentally. It's never happened. And like, that's the myth. Losers will tell you

00:14:45.180 that. Okay. They will say, they will look at other people who are successful, who have built

00:14:50.040 things that they secretly want. And they were the shit on those things and say, Oh, I never wanted

00:14:54.440 that. Or they'll, they'll justify why that person has it. And they did it as if that person didn't

00:15:00.400 do a bunch of shit different than you did. Right. So you have to be very careful because when you're

00:15:06.800 young, you naturally want to listen to older people. You naturally want to, you know, you hear

00:15:12.740 older people talk and they you know they these fucking idiots will come up to you and say hey

00:15:17.860 kid let me tell you you may think this but this is how it really works that's right and they start

00:15:22.560 planting all this bullshit in your brain no bro that's how it works for you because you're fucking

00:15:27.920 stupid okay i'm not stupid in fact what you're telling me is making me understand what i don't

00:15:34.420 need to do and so when you have these conversations not everybody's worth listening to

00:15:38.620 not not every person that's older than you their advice is good advice that's why i preach so much

00:15:44.860 to you guys about paying attention to who you get advice from what does their life look like

00:15:50.460 does it look like the one that you want if it doesn't look like the one the one that you want

00:15:54.740 why are you listening to them for anything they don't have anything to offer you except what not

00:16:00.360 to do yeah right so they're leading with that like hey don't do this because yeah dude and

00:16:04.740 those people exist too there's a lot of people who will say hey man i fucked up don't do this

00:16:11.240 those are valuable people listen to them yes but like bro you know most people have too big of an

00:16:17.080 ego they they are too prideful they refuse to take responsibility for the position that they're in

00:16:23.840 and then what they do is they poison the minds of people coming up behind them

00:16:29.400 i don't i don't know if they do it intentionally or if they're just ignorant but to justify their

00:16:37.260 own decision making process you know it's almost like they see that same glimmer that they once had

00:16:43.180 yeah and then they say oh hey kid i know you thought this but this is the real world

00:16:47.340 you know it's bullshit real world's what the fuck you make of it i'll give you a clear example of

00:16:52.320 that there was a comment on the episode you did with tim grover yeah and that clearly explains

00:16:58.880 what you just talked about this guy is saying i worked harder than most successful or more

00:17:05.720 jacked people i know the truth is success is 98 genetics oh okay yeah okay yeah i i got i got

00:17:16.060 proof on that look at the yeah that's that's a dude trying that's a dude trying to justify his

00:17:20.040 own position exactly okay you don't know that you worked harder than anybody else bro you weren't

00:17:24.540 there to see it you have no fucking idea you have no idea what the fuck i've done you only see now

00:17:31.220 you don't see the last 27 fucking years you don't see the hard conversations you don't see the

00:17:37.660 breakups you don't see the kicks in the face and the fucking kicks in the balls and the shit that

00:17:42.480 had to happen and the sleepless nights and the anxiety and the fucking that you you don't fucking

00:17:48.060 know that bro i didn't sleep for 20 fucking five years legit not because i was busy because i was

00:17:54.920 so fucking stressed and overwhelmed i couldn't sleep okay like dude that to me ignorance yeah

00:18:01.620 look bro that's not ignorance that's just someone who's trying to justify their own position in life

00:18:07.720 and yeah dude there are people that work harder okay digging ditches every day for 50 fucking

00:18:15.860 years is harder okay but if you don't want to do that you got to be smart enough to figure out how

00:18:24.480 to move away from that so you know we have a lot of people to say like oh well it's work smart not

00:18:31.360 hard no it's work hard as you can and as smart as you can it's both and it's not one or the other

00:18:38.740 it's never working smart is never going to get you to where you think it is without the fucking

00:18:44.040 hard work attached to it and working hard at something that doesn't have the outcome at the

00:18:49.840 end of it that you don't want is not going to get you there either so you got to have a basic level

00:18:56.660 of intelligence dude like there's asterisks to everything there's nuance to everything i could

00:19:02.640 throw an asterisk on every single thing that you've ever seen but that's not what winners do

00:19:09.200 Winners say, fuck it, I'm going to do the best I can.

00:19:12.020 I want to get here.

00:19:13.280 Does this path lead me there?

00:19:14.580 No.

00:19:15.000 Okay, well, I need to change paths.

00:19:16.640 And they don't think there's an easy way.

00:19:18.380 They accept what it's going to cost them up front.

00:19:20.900 They understand that it's going to be hard.

00:19:23.640 They understand that it's going to take time.

00:19:25.740 They understand that it's going to create a lifestyle work-wise that most people aren't

00:19:31.360 willing to do.

00:19:32.520 But that lifestyle that they accept up front is the reason that they get a life at the

00:19:37.140 backside that people say shit like that about where they're like oh 98 is genetics or it's

00:19:42.500 what the fuck are you talking about yeah bill gates got great genetics yeah it's like come on

00:19:47.040 man yeah no that's real bro look dude look man here's the reality okay go on the internet

00:19:54.680 and go to realtor.com and do a search wherever you fucking live or wherever you'd like to live

00:20:04.900 for houses that cost above 3 million bucks.

00:20:07.800 Go look at how many of them there are.

00:20:10.140 There's a fuck ton.

00:20:12.140 Well, you think all those people just got lucky?

00:20:14.780 Okay?

00:20:15.640 You have no idea about the level of abundance

00:20:18.760 that you can have if you're willing to pay the price to have it.

00:20:22.240 All right?

00:20:22.640 It's not in this short supply.

00:20:25.560 It's there.

00:20:26.460 You just have to pay the price to get it,

00:20:28.560 just like anything else, bro.

00:20:30.340 If you want to wear cheap clothes,

00:20:33.920 you know you can buy a seven dollar shirt and a five dollar pair of shorts and and but if you want

00:20:39.440 to buy designer shit it's going to cost a thousand bucks that's the way of the world and your life

00:20:45.100 is no different if you want a fucking high life you the the cost is much different than the cost

00:20:50.660 of a regular life not everybody gets to win i don't know i don't know any situation in the

00:20:56.800 history of mankind where everybody gets to win winning is not the norm it's the exception and

00:21:02.280 create an exceptional outcome, you have to put in exceptional work and exceptional effort. That's

00:21:08.020 what's required. And you also have to be at least smart enough to evaluate the path that you're on

00:21:15.920 to be able to tell if it's going to lead to anything. Okay. You can work really hard on

00:21:21.100 the wrong path, but if it's not going to lead to anything or where you want to go, then you're on

00:21:25.560 the wrong fucking path. That takes basic IQ. Okay. You have to be able to see that. If you can't

00:21:32.060 see you on the path and see how now now look let's say you do dig ditches okay and right now

00:21:37.700 you're like fuck all i can do is dig ditches that's all i know how to do well how can you do

00:21:42.400 it better how can you do it faster how can you do it cheaper how can you make how maybe you could

00:21:48.140 invent a new way to do it maybe there's uh maybe you could scale out and do it better than the

00:21:53.780 other guy there start thinking these ways okay if there's no like dude i promise you you could

00:21:59.960 drop me off you could drop me off at this point in my life with what i know you could drop any

00:22:05.340 motherfucking business plan on me and i could figure out how to make it work i promise you that

00:22:10.400 okay but it takes thinking outside the fucking box okay like i use this example uh of butterflies

00:22:17.160 okay let's say you're fucking interested in butterflies 30 years ago if that was your

00:22:24.280 interest um you were fucked okay you were fucked there's no business in butterflies yeah but now

00:22:31.760 you know what you could do you could start taking pictures of butterflies and start a fucking social

00:22:36.600 medias and start doing butterflies and then you could make butterfly t-shirts and then you could

00:22:40.840 do a butterfly pinterest and then you could go into butterfly bed sheets and butterfly fucking

00:22:44.980 comforters and you could make butterfly wallets and you could do all these things and create a

00:22:48.800 whole fucking business around it. Okay. But that takes some thinking outside the norm. And most

00:22:54.740 people just don't have the ability to think outside the norm because that's all they've ever

00:22:58.620 seen. Most people can't think outside what they, what they've not observed with their own eyes.

00:23:05.420 All right. We live in the greatest time in the history of earth for someone who

00:23:10.500 doesn't really know that much to be successful, but you still have to think outside the box and

00:23:18.760 You can't buy into this old guy mentality of, oh, hey, kid, this is just how the fuck life works.

00:23:24.080 Tough shit.

00:23:24.960 You don't have to accept that.

00:23:26.800 That's not something you have to accept.

00:23:28.780 That's not true.

00:23:29.860 That's the decisions they made.

00:23:31.280 And as a young person, it can be very difficult, especially like when you've never met someone in real life who's actually built something, right?

00:23:42.500 We have to keep this in mind.

00:23:43.840 Most people don't know a single person in real life

00:23:48.500 That has become a millionaire or a multi-millionaire or a billionaire

00:23:52.280 They don't know

00:23:53.080 I'm spoiled

00:23:54.500 Almost all my friends are fucking like that

00:23:56.660 Okay, but it wasn't always that case

00:23:58.920 When I was young, I knew one guy

00:24:01.580 I knew one guy

00:24:03.200 That guy happens to be in fucking jail

00:24:05.300 Okay, but the point is

00:24:07.240 Is that I saw a guy with my own eyes

00:24:10.400 go from nothing to multi hundred billion or a hundred million dollar business i saw him i saw

00:24:17.300 him do it because i was able to see that happen i knew it was fucking possible four minute mile

00:24:23.500 what yes so so now we're exposed to a lot of people who have done that via the internet so

00:24:31.020 you know it's possible you know but and that's that's another thing dude you've got to like

00:24:38.680 figure out how to like touch and feel and make this shit real for yourself you know things i used

00:24:44.400 to do i go around and look at houses i do that now yeah yeah bro me and me and alex do that now

00:24:50.700 yeah i drive around and look at fucking big ass houses bro in fact two of the houses that i used

00:24:56.180 to look at when i had nothing i've lived in two of them both of them yeah i've lived in two different

00:25:00.420 ones yeah the one i live in now and then the one i lived in before this were both houses that i

00:25:05.380 to go look at when i had nothing all right i used to go to car dealerships exotic car dealerships

00:25:12.020 and walk in and look around and you know i was a little embarrassed because i knew that i wouldn't

00:25:16.340 i didn't belong there but i didn't give a i surrounded myself with this

00:25:21.540 you could touch it though yeah yeah and i'd ask the guys you know like i can remember dude one time

00:25:28.100 one time i went

00:25:28.900 this is actually funny so i had a car i wrecked one of my cars okay i wrecked my car when i had

00:25:41.060 one car and i needed a new car all right and the car i drove was a grand cherokee

00:25:46.500 i went to the jeep dealer and i was trying to get another grand cherokee

00:25:51.500 and i couldn't afford it like they had gone up so much in price

00:25:55.600 and i asked the guy i was talking to him about this and that and he goes well dude you know

00:26:00.560 if we're being honest you know 80 of the people that buy these just write a check for it and at

00:26:06.060 the time they were like 40 grand and i was like these motherfuckers are writing a check for 40

00:26:11.220 grand for a car like they're you got no and i thought he was fucking lying to me like i actually

00:26:15.660 got irritated because i thought he was posturing to me like talking down to me

00:26:19.600 so i went and bought a dodge ram pickup truck which i loved but my point is when i heard that

00:26:27.840 it pissed me off because i was like there's no fucking way there's no way that someone's dropping

00:26:34.820 40 grand and just writing a check for i couldn't even comprehend it all right but now i look at

00:26:41.340 that and i'm like and i don't want to sound like an asshole but i'm like bro i spent 40 grand on

00:26:49.220 cigars that's right you know what i'm saying like you're you have to expand what's out there

00:26:55.020 and what is real dude gotta think bigger like it dude the first time i flew private ever

00:27:02.000 i flew to teeterboro which is the private airport outside of new york city

00:27:08.320 when you fucking land at teeterboro okay

00:27:12.760 i'd never see anything like it and i flew up there on like a little citation you know it

00:27:19.140 it was a stretch for us to pay for it we landed dude and there i'm not shitting you dude there

00:27:27.100 was hundreds hundreds of gulf streams and g5s and g4s and g6s and 50 60 million dollar jets and i'm

00:27:38.420 like holy shit they're writing checks for 40 grand yeah but my but my point is is that dude it's out

00:27:47.400 there yeah it's out there and just because some fucking loser in your life says that it isn't

00:27:53.000 doesn't mean it's not for you you see what i'm saying absolutely dude i fucking love it bro

00:27:57.760 i had that same experience when uh we flew to scottsdale and i saw for the first time i remember

00:28:02.040 that i'm like holy shit yeah we flew that 7x out there yeah bro i'm like yeah and there was like

00:28:06.480 200 other fucking planes out there i'm like what the fuck yeah and like and i remember you and i'm

00:28:11.160 like yeah man yeah that's that's how it is there's more out there fucking dude bro just look at your

00:28:16.080 city man like look at the properties in your city go on the real estate website and look at the

00:28:22.740 properties that are in your city or a city you'd like to live in that are above two million bucks

00:28:28.360 there's hundreds of them okay and those are the just the ones for sale yeah that's not all of

00:28:34.640 them that's just the ones for sale that's right okay that's right you're limiting belief about

00:28:39.660 what's possible is literally what's fucking holding you back that's it man i love it it's it

00:28:44.840 I love it, dude.

00:28:45.740 Let's keep moving, man.

00:28:46.660 I love this line of thought we're on.

00:28:48.920 So let's actually change up some of the order on this question.

00:28:51.200 But let's get to question number two, guys.

00:28:53.360 Guys, Andy, question number two.

00:28:54.440 Andy, I had a realization recently that I spend a lot of time admiring people who have things I don't have,

00:29:01.520 but not a lot of time thinking about what they had to give up to get them.

00:29:06.540 Success looks attractive until you start looking at the sacrifices behind it.

00:29:11.380 so how did you get comfortable making sacrifices it's not a sacrifice if you win bro it's an

00:29:17.900 investment okay and the real prize isn't the shit it's not the plane or the car or the house or the

00:29:24.540 recognition the real prize is who the fuck you become along the way okay after 30 years almost

00:29:31.840 of doing this for my whole life since i was a fucking 19 year old kid i'm a i'm not saying i

00:29:37.520 have things to learn, but I'm pretty fucking good at what I do. Okay. That's an amazing skill that

00:29:42.720 no one could take from me. I can lose everything and I'll get right back on track with something

00:29:48.260 else because I understand how it fucking works. I know the recipe. I know the game. I know all

00:29:54.200 the pieces that go together, which took me a long, long time to learn because I didn't have anybody

00:30:00.460 to show me and we didn't have social media. And I also wasn't confused by a bunch of liars on

00:30:05.800 social media okay which is a whole nother problem we have all these young kids getting sucked in

00:30:10.700 to all this bullshit on the internet you know oh i made five million dollars a fucking month and

00:30:16.320 all this bullshit bro dude that shit ain't true and it makes these people think that when they

00:30:24.700 see that and then they're not doing that after the first month that there's something wrong with them

00:30:28.320 they're like well i guess i don't have what it takes and then they punt their whole life

00:30:31.180 that's why it's bad okay but the truth of the matter is is that when you look at it and say

00:30:39.040 oh well first of all i'll give you credit the fact that you admire them is a good first step

00:30:43.360 because most people can't even make it there most people look at people and they're like man that

00:30:47.340 guy's probably a dick that guy probably fucked everybody over that guy blah blah blah they don't

00:30:51.160 know anything about how it works if you fuck everybody over for 30 fucking years by the way

00:30:55.420 your reputation is ruined you can't fucking do anything okay so the only way to really win long

00:31:02.200 term is by doing it the right way and you're going to be alive a long time you can't just do this for

00:31:08.240 two years even if you make 50 million dollars in two years guess what you're going to fucking

00:31:13.040 figure out how to spend it okay because you don't know how to be responsible you don't know how to

00:31:17.980 invest you why do you think there's so many 30 for 30s on pro athletes that go broke because

00:31:22.720 they're 20 years old this big large amount of money comes to them and then they spend it all

00:31:28.080 because they came to them relatively quick and easy all right so when you have to fucking take

00:31:33.340 a long time to get it you learn how valuable it is and you're smarter about what you do with it

00:31:38.080 okay like you know people say oh well you got all these cars yeah motherfucker all my cars go up

00:31:43.400 that's right you know say i don't buy the shit that goes down you know 30 for 30 right there's

00:31:47.860 not a thing there's not a thing i do where my money goes down there's not a single thing i do

00:31:53.720 now like i might buy a fucking dirt bike or utv or some shit like that but i'm not talking about

00:31:59.160 that shit i'm talking about big expenditures okay there's not a thing i do where my money goes down

00:32:04.200 and that's because it took me years and years and years and years and years to get it and then i was

00:32:09.620 like okay well i want to enjoy the things i want but i also don't want to fucking lose my ass so i

00:32:14.420 learned about that and i learned about other things so we have to understand dude that like

00:32:19.580 easy come easy go you don't want it to come easy because if it comes easy then you haven't became

00:32:25.680 the kind of person like i am where you could literally drop me off on a fucking desert island

00:32:31.100 with some fucking sticks and no customers and i'll figure out how to fucking make a business work

00:32:35.500 you know i'm saying like i i don't know i'll figure it out yeah right i'll be selling shit

00:32:40.920 to the fucking monkeys i don't know okay i'll be picking their coconuts they'll be giving me

00:32:46.120 berries we'll fucking figure out a system you'll be king of the island that's it man i'll be lord

00:32:50.700 of the fucking flies bro like but i'm just saying like dude that's the prize so you can't look at

00:32:58.060 it like would they give up like what the fuck do you mean what they give up oh they gave up a bunch

00:33:02.160 of nights at the bars they gave up a bunch of fucking hoochie chicks that don't fucking that

00:33:07.360 are disgusting anyway they gave up a bunch of meaningless bullshit and probably getting in

00:33:12.560 trouble and ruin their life to be successful what the fuck are you talking about i didn't give up

00:33:16.580 anything they invested they took their time and they invested it wisely and it produced a return

00:33:22.980 so this idea of sacrifice is not it's not sacrifice dude it's investment it's only sacrifice if you

00:33:32.260 look back and you didn't get where you want to go and you gave up a bunch of shit. Okay. But that

00:33:38.720 doesn't happen. That's the thing. Like people who are, that is the biggest fucking lie, bro.

00:33:44.760 People think, what if I do all this shit and I work so hard and I do everything I can and I still

00:33:53.380 don't make it. That rarely happens because the person that you become along the way

00:33:59.540 acquire skills you acquire things that you know and so that way if you do lose shit along the way

00:34:06.240 let's say you get five years in six years and you lose something well that's just a lesson if you

00:34:10.820 keep going okay so you pick your shit up you get yourself back together you keep going and you're

00:34:16.240 that much more equipped to win and that usually happens three or four times bro i have a bunch of

00:34:21.480 businesses that i tried when i was younger that fucking i lost my ass on okay

00:34:26.340 now i would understand like that's not going to work because it didn't work so the same thing

00:34:34.740 comes to me in a different way i can look at him like yeah no that's not going to work or i could

00:34:39.120 say that might work but it won't work this way right so you got to understand dude that's poor

00:34:46.940 people thinking poor people thinking is what if i do all this shit and i work blah blah blah and i

00:34:53.360 commit myself and it doesn't happen. That doesn't happen, dude. That's not an actual outcome

00:34:59.340 because if you keep going and you've learned and acquired skills along the way because you've made

00:35:06.180 mistakes and you've risked things and you've lost things, you learn lessons and those lessons

00:35:11.200 compound. And if you have the grit, the fortitude, the perseverance, the endurance, the ability to

00:35:17.540 not quit, you move down the path with those skills and then you make better decisions and

00:35:22.680 eventually the outcome that you're chasing materializes so this whole idea it's like saying

00:35:28.260 what if i'm at the what if i try to climb this this mountain and i can't get there well bro

00:35:33.560 there's lots of people who went up everest and fucking didn't make it the first time or the

00:35:37.660 second time or the seventh time or the tenth time and they kept going eventually they fucking made

00:35:41.120 it now there's a few motherfuckers that died still up okay they're up there though okay yeah

00:35:45.420 yeah but the point is like there's always risk involved yeah okay but assuming you don't die

00:35:53.000 okay for real dude like assume like okay like look let's talk about a real example of this

00:35:58.100 all right kobe bryant yeah all right kobe bryant dedicated his entire life to being

00:36:06.900 the best basketball player he could be and there's not a single person that knows basketball that

00:36:12.500 doesn't argue that kobe was a top three player of all time okay i can promise you because the

00:36:20.560 when kobe retired he went directly from basketball to family right okay and unfortunately he had the

00:36:28.340 accident where he was killed okay that that does happen yeah and what i mean by that is

00:36:34.020 there you might work your whole life get to a point where things are good and you think you're

00:36:39.700 going to pivot and you get in a car accident and you get fucking killed okay but let's be real

00:36:46.500 about it Kobe Bryant's a fucking legend he's gonna live forever he's gonna live forever okay

00:36:51.660 people gonna talk about Kobe Bryant 100 fucking years from now right okay so it's not a total loss

00:36:56.480 it sucks it's horrible I wish it hadn't happened and so does everybody else but there's risk in

00:37:02.960 life man and you can't eliminate it so you know yeah you might be trying to climb that mountain

00:37:08.180 and you might be on your seventh try and you might get run over by a bus but you ain't gonna

00:37:12.520 know it that's right you know did you know did you know when did you know when you were dead

00:37:17.860 before you were born yeah no did you know the whole life was going on before you were born

00:37:21.840 were you aware like do you do you remember before you were born because i don't okay so what the

00:37:27.600 fuck difference does it make it was dark and i think i was swimming yeah like like you you get

00:37:32.560 run over and and you did what you could and that's the fucking way it goes but like bro

00:37:37.060 think of the lives that are changed because of the way kobe lived yeah think of all the young

00:37:42.960 talent that's in the league right fucking now because of kobe bryant think of the lives that

00:37:47.880 are changed because of the commitment that he made so like you can't look at it and say oh man he'd

00:37:52.500 wasted it no fuck dude the guy's an icon or he sacrificed no he didn't sacrifice i promise you

00:37:59.680 if he was to rise from the fucking dead and we say hey kobe what do you think he might say

00:38:04.780 something like this hey knowing what i know now i probably would have tried to be more present

00:38:10.420 with my family but those were learning lessons yeah okay but i guarantee you he wouldn't take

00:38:17.360 away any of the other shit no so like it wasn't worth it no bro come on man it's it's and dude

00:38:24.360 This is the other part

00:38:25.660 The lifestyle that you create

00:38:30.740 Is so

00:38:32.880 I've been broke dude

00:38:34.180 I've been broke

00:38:35.440 I've been

00:38:36.500 I've been broke longer than I've been fucking rich

00:38:40.360 There were many many

00:38:44.500 Many years where if I had

00:38:46.740 $500 bro I felt like I had

00:38:48.840 A lot of money

00:38:49.440 I felt like I had a lot of money

00:38:54.360 i know what it's like to live like that i know what it's like to live my life now and there's

00:39:00.740 not a single thing that i would fucking change about it i would there's nothing i look back and

00:39:05.440 say oh man i wish i'd done it there's things i look back and i'm like man you know i could have

00:39:09.640 went on that late trip yeah i could have went to that do that vacation those are things that that

00:39:14.560 i do i recognize but i try to adjust that moving forward and maybe something happens to me and i

00:39:19.820 don't get to do it but the growth happened because i realized it yeah so like we're always making a

00:39:25.580 trade but i can promise you the trade for being poor and being in poverty is worth the trade of

00:39:33.240 the effort and the investment required what most people call sacrifice to become not that way it's

00:39:39.520 just worth it and and you're not going to hear anybody that's ever done anything that you say

00:39:44.960 you admire that's going to look back and say yeah i wish i hadn't done that you never hear

00:39:49.320 have you ever heard that i've never known have you ever heard a wealthy person say man i wish

00:39:54.420 i hadn't done all that work i wish i hadn't built that thing i wish i hadn't uh you know

00:40:00.600 take all that time to do that you don't hear it bro all you hear it is from other broke people

00:40:06.940 that say shit like well i bet he's not happy that's just them justifying their shit so like

00:40:12.780 i've never heard that i've never heard someone say ever that is successful that have built it

00:40:21.280 themselves say they regret doing it i've i've never fucking heard it one time so how can that

00:40:26.620 be a sacrifice of anything yeah when you were explaining this i was also thinking the people

00:40:31.200 who say that they don't want to make the sacrifice end up making the biggest sacrifice yeah because

00:40:37.620 that when they don't go for it and in the at the end of their lives they regret they wish that

00:40:42.440 that's right they could have done it they just can't see that now you've said this over and over

00:40:46.500 the biggest risk is not taking the risk and when you think about what it could have been if i would

00:40:52.920 have gone for it i can't think anything worse i can't think anything worse it's crazy man i love

00:41:01.060 it dude let's get uh we got one more for you third and final question uh question number three

00:41:06.500 Andy, last year I started my own construction business and things have been going well and I've been staying busy and what I believe to be a pretty good long term plan.

00:41:16.960 I want to build up my customers for a few years and focus on quality and building a stronger customer base and reputation.

00:41:23.720 I know the analogy which you speak about baking a cake and trying to turn up the temperature to get it done faster, et cetera.

00:41:31.880 but also I've heard from your show and others about how things are different now and there's

00:41:36.980 not much time, possibly just a couple of years to get a spot before it's not possible anymore

00:41:42.480 with just the way the world and the government is heading. I'm in my mid 20s and I believe a lot of

00:41:49.720 what my generation misses that I try to implement and that building up businesses and really

00:41:54.720 anything worthwhile is that it takes time. I am perfectly OK with that idea. And like I said,

00:42:00.440 what I believe I have to be a really good set out long term plan and just letting the cake bake.

00:42:07.000 I really want to do right and take my time, but I feel like my plan may have to change because of

00:42:12.960 the times we're in. Everyone that I know that is successful in business personally and the guys

00:42:17.900 that I like to listen to, like you, have all built their businesses to great success over long

00:42:23.620 periods of time and consistency. I guess my question is, should I still be OK with my plan

00:42:29.620 or do i need to change course to make things happen quickly because of the times we're in

00:42:34.420 i'm afraid to make a shitty burnt cake that way if that makes sense yeah 100 that makes sense okay

00:42:39.640 first of all there's always going to be opportunity to win okay are times changing absolutely do you

00:42:51.460 have 20 years to do uh whatever i don't fucking know nobody knows what's going to happen bro we

00:42:59.280 could get a nuclear war who knows okay do you have the technology available to move much faster

00:43:06.900 than people like me yeah i know dudes that are 30 years old that have built amazing companies

00:43:12.140 in a much faster time frame because of what was available to them that wasn't available to me

00:43:16.900 okay so

00:43:18.980 the answer is yes you should go for your fucking dream here's the thing that concerns

00:43:29.220 me about the way that you asked your question you kept saying slow and let the cake bake

00:43:37.720 you are misunderstanding what i'm saying

00:43:41.360 i have this concept that i call aggressive patience okay

00:43:48.060 when people hear patience they hear what you just communicated which is set it and forget it that is

00:43:58.420 not how the fuck it works. Aggressive patience is working as intensely with as much urgency

00:44:06.020 and most effectively that you possibly can to get as far as you can in the shortest amount of time.

00:44:13.340 Also understanding that if you go that hard and if you press that hard, it is still going to take

00:44:21.560 time. So you have to act with urgency, with intensity, with the outcome in mind every

00:44:29.380 single day and be effective. And then also understand that you still have to do that

00:44:34.840 for a long time. There is no set it and forget it. I'm going to start this thing and it's just

00:44:41.720 going to end up materializing. That is not how the fuck it works. Okay. There's a lot of people

00:44:47.440 that preach patience and I don't like it because when people hear patience, they think, oh, well,

00:44:53.500 that's cool. I can just sit my feet up on the desk and it'll just happen. No. Aggressive patience is

00:44:59.360 a completely different thing. It is going as hard as you can, as effectively as you can, as intensely

00:45:05.140 as you can with as much urgency every single day with the outcome in mind and then allowing time

00:45:11.180 to do its work because you can't substitute time. It takes time. It takes time for customers to

00:45:19.080 become familiar with your product. It takes exposure. It takes time to build things. It

00:45:23.740 takes time to do that. You cannot eliminate that. Now you're lucky, dude, because you were born in

00:45:30.520 an era where it takes the shortest amount of time. And the amount of information available to us and

00:45:36.340 the help available to us is at it's most abundant that it ever has been you guys have clod you have

00:45:42.760 chat gpt you could go in there and talk to it about what you want to do and it'll give you a

00:45:47.800 rough outline about how to do it i have the operator standard the operator standard has

00:45:53.340 arcane arcane is the world's most intelligent personal development fucking ai that exists

00:45:59.920 i'm 100 confident on that okay it's specifically geared towards fucking helping people win

00:46:05.580 we didn't have that fuck dude we had like trade catalogs i don't even know what the fuck that

00:46:14.340 that's what i'm saying like you had to like you had to like find somebody that did what you did

00:46:20.900 and like go in and ask them and say hey where do i get information on this and maybe if they told

00:46:26.020 you you could like order a catalog and the catalog would come and it would have these things in it

00:46:30.460 like you have no idea how fucking spoiled you guys are when it comes to the speed at which you

00:46:37.200 can operate but as fast as you can operate it's still going to take time to materialize into a

00:46:43.520 bigger thing so that's what concerns me about the way you ask that question we're talking about

00:46:49.400 aggressive patience not just patience in regards to the fact that is it worth it or can you still

00:46:54.840 do it? Yes. In fact, it's the most important thing you can do because what's going to actually fix

00:47:01.320 this shit is more people becoming more successful, creating more leverage, infecting culture with

00:47:10.160 positivity, having employees, letting that culture bleed through your system and go down into the

00:47:16.540 households. Entrepreneurs are going to be the ones that change culture, bro. They're going to be the

00:47:21.460 ones that fix everything okay you have to become wealthy you have to become successful it's not a

00:47:27.840 choice and this idea of what's going on in the world you know when you hear me say things like

00:47:33.600 hey man you better get after it because we only got a limited amount of time um that's to make

00:47:39.700 a point to you that you better fucking go now you better go now that should drive urgency not

00:47:46.300 demoralize you yeah okay that's the purpose of me saying that is to drive urgency not to not to let

00:47:53.160 you say oh well fuck dude we're out of time i'll just i guess i'll just punt it yeah that's right

00:47:58.600 you know or it's the cake's in there you know i'll just wait 27 years that's not what happens

00:48:02.980 dude and like dude when you hear me talk about how long it's taken me understand that with today's

00:48:08.740 technology i could have done what i've done in probably four to seven years wow okay where it

00:48:15.100 took me 27 yeah all right we didn't have the internet when i started that we didn't have the

00:48:21.120 fucking internet you guys don't even know what the you can't even comprehend what that was like

00:48:24.900 okay we had to call people's houses and talk to their dads when we wanted to talk to girls

00:48:30.120 okay like it sucked that's right all right there was no interconnectivity there was no way to meet

00:48:36.780 people outside of the people you knew in your neighborhood okay then social media comes around

00:48:41.300 okay now the whole world's connected by a click and this goes back to what i was saying a minute

00:48:47.360 ago about the people that still have this idea of like that you can fuck people over and stay in

00:48:52.980 no you can't because everybody knows everybody and it's real easy for someone for we see it

00:48:59.020 every day how many stories do we see go viral about companies doing fucked up shit okay the

00:49:04.800 word gets around too fast so to be an effective entrepreneur long term you have to do things

00:49:10.760 ethically you have to treat people right you have to offer a good product you have to take care of

00:49:15.000 your customers you have to make things right when you fuck up these are ethical ways of doing

00:49:18.900 business if you don't do things ethically you can't hide like you used to be able to before

00:49:23.240 all this shit yeah so that's just old thinking that these old heads fucking say okay um then you

00:49:30.880 have like all these people myself included doing things like this that did not exist free game it

00:49:38.200 did not exist, bro. There's so much free game. Oh, dude. It's like, you just don't know how good

00:49:47.480 you have it. Like you just don't know. And so to answer your question, dude, don't worry about

00:49:55.460 what's happening in the world other than knowing that the only solution is for you to become as

00:50:00.580 excellent as you can, becoming as fit as you can, becoming as financially fit as you can,

00:50:04.980 becoming as intelligent as you can becoming as healthy as you can spending your time on the

00:50:10.260 right things doing the things right in your community that's how things get fixed and that's

00:50:14.660 how we end up in a situation where the the window doesn't close and the american dream persists

00:50:21.000 yeah yeah this is exactly what you were saying earlier too it's like you know control what you

00:50:25.660 can i can't control iran launching fucking nukes that they've been building for 40 years no and

00:50:29.880 You sure as shit shouldn't sit there and say, like, well, you know, Iran might nuke us,

00:50:35.140 so I guess I'm not going to do anything.

00:50:36.360 Yeah, I'm not going to go fulfill my dream or my potential.

00:50:38.780 Bro, you could get run over.

00:50:40.420 Yeah.

00:50:40.800 Who knows?

00:50:41.440 Yeah.

00:50:41.840 You know, like, who fucking knows?

00:50:43.140 You could get sick.

00:50:43.940 You could get struck by lightning.

00:50:45.760 Shit happens.

00:50:46.640 Yeah.

00:50:46.900 You're not going to base your whole life around those things might happening.

00:50:50.500 It fucking happens.

00:50:51.940 Okay?

00:50:52.320 Maybe.

00:50:53.480 Usually doesn't.

00:50:55.000 So you should probably base it off of that.

00:50:56.820 Yeah, I was going to say that, too.

00:50:57.580 There's been a couple of big resets, too.

00:50:59.320 i mean shit that you've been through like 2008 fuck i mean you know i'm saying like where

00:51:03.200 what was ending 2008 dude that's the other thing about this time that's going on okay

00:51:08.340 dude this is a really important point i'm glad you brought this up

00:51:12.040 we're going through what's what's what's basically a weeding out of ineffective

00:51:17.960 entrepreneurs okay

00:51:20.740 in the beginning of my business journey okay from 99 to 2007 8 there was lots of competition

00:51:32.240 all right because per our first question i lived way below my means and i really couldn't afford

00:51:41.660 to do anything other than that i was actually in a really good position because i didn't owe

00:51:46.540 anybody anything so when 2008 happened and the economy got tight a ton of our competitors went

00:51:52.960 out of business all right when they went out of business we gobbled up the market share all right

00:51:58.820 2020 another another same thing happened only this time we were in a position with some resources to

00:52:06.360 gobble up the business so we're going through another one of those transitions right now we

00:52:10.960 You know, where if you don't adapt or you lack the ability to adapt, they're going, those companies are going to lose, which is going to open up market share for people that understand how to operate now.

00:52:22.340 So you guys who don't have anything and you don't have the momentum, you should understand.

00:52:28.320 And you don't have bills and you don't have a mortgage.

00:52:30.420 You know, you're at a massive advantage, dude, because all these other guys that you're competing with do.

00:52:36.760 so they they are likely going to ride their shit to the bottom because most people who have been

00:52:45.440 successful develop an ego and that ego tells them what worked five years ago is going to work

00:52:50.960 today and business is moving so quickly that what you did six months ago might not be working today

00:52:56.900 so when you develop and this is why i tell you guys like people who have won

00:53:01.360 one are actually the people who most frequently lost because they attach their identity to that

00:53:07.000 one win and they refuse to adapt moving forward when you're young and you're hungry and you don't

00:53:12.060 know what the fuck you're doing you don't have any egos so you're willing to adapt and do whatever

00:53:17.260 is required which allows you to learn the skills that are required right now that puts you at a

00:53:22.640 massive advantage over even companies that may be established for 20 years a lot of those companies

00:53:28.200 are going to go out of business and the market share is still going to exist and somebody's

00:53:32.200 going to take it. And for those of you who have been in business and you're like at a point right

00:53:37.000 now where you're like, things are shrinking, you better figure it the fuck out. You better adopt

00:53:41.220 the new technologies. You better figure out what the fuck is going on or you're going to get eaten

00:53:44.340 up. So like, but these times excite me. These are the times that excite me because I don't attach

00:53:51.620 my ego to anything that I've done in the past. I look at every day as a new day. It's one day at

00:53:57.260 time for me. That's how I view my life. What's it going to be today that I get a win today?

00:54:03.120 Okay. And I don't care about what I did yesterday or a year ago or five years ago or 10 years ago.

00:54:08.320 I don't walk around saying, oh yeah, I fucking won, you know, and I made all this money and I

00:54:12.920 want, that's not my identity. My identity is am I winning fucking now? Am I winning now? I don't

00:54:19.060 give a fuck what I did five years ago. I don't care what I did 10 years ago. I don't care what

00:54:22.600 i did 20 years ago now i talk about it here for perspective and reference but i certainly don't

00:54:28.340 walk around beating my chest on that i come to work i do my thing i go after my shit just like

00:54:34.060 i tell you guys to still today which is why we've been in the game so long and we continue to

00:54:40.200 fucking dominate it's an attitude okay so like you guys you guys got to understand dude you're

00:54:49.000 at a massive advantage over most people you you guys who don't have shit going on right now

00:54:53.480 because whoever you perceive yourself to be competing with in business there's going to be

00:54:58.580 a lot of them that fail when they fail you could eat up their market that's the reality business

00:55:04.240 that's how it works dude that's how it works we go through cyclical cycles and one of the biggest

00:55:09.420 things for long-term companies that makes them successful over decades as opposed to having a

00:55:15.680 three or four year run is that they're willing to throw away the old blueprint and create a new

00:55:21.460 blueprint today as if today is the first day and that's how we've always operated we've always

00:55:26.360 operated that way we don't we don't say oh that worked five years ago so let's keep doing that

00:55:30.720 we say what's going to work now and we fucking throw that shit in the trash that's real bro

00:55:36.060 i love it man that's a hell of a way to uh get better today yeah so uh guys that's three all

00:55:42.280 All right, guys, don't be a hoe.

00:55:44.240 Share the show.

00:55:45.300 Went from sleeping on the floor.

00:55:46.960 Now my jewelry box froze.

00:55:48.680 Fuck a pole, fuck a stove.

00:55:50.340 Counted millions in the cold.

00:55:52.000 Bad bitch, booted swole.

00:55:53.680 Got her on bankroll.

00:55:55.320 Can't fold, doesn't know.

00:55:57.020 Headshot, case closed.
