00:00:58.540 ask this question today uh by uh it doesn't matter who it was just a good question um and the question
00:01:05.200 was you know hey andy um you know there there's i'm going through a phase in my business and i know
00:01:12.880 you went through this phase as well where i feel like my health is suffering i've put on a lot of
00:01:18.120 weight um i've i and i'm paraphrasing the question i put on a lot of weight uh and and health is sort
00:01:25.160 of taking a back seat so that i can run this company and you know it's really really hard and
00:01:30.820 i don't have much time for fitness and taking care of myself and uh i plan on taking care of myself
00:01:37.160 once i get it going but right now um you know i'm not doing what i need to do and i want to address
00:01:45.480 this because i hear this same question over and over again uh and and and guys look i am the
00:01:53.180 epitome of that okay uh i i went through a long phase in business where i i didn't take care of
00:02:01.540 myself um and i told myself the same thing that this gentleman was telling himself which was you know
00:02:08.240 hey man i i only have so much time man and i got to make sure that i get this business going so i
00:02:12.820 can take care of my family take care of my employees and something's got to give and it's
00:02:16.820 right now it's my my physical health and i used to think that same thing guys um for a long time
00:02:25.400 and what i realized was i was justifying it to myself right like when i was wanting to eat poorly
00:02:32.440 or skip a workout or not do what i needed to do i i told myself this same story and i think a lot
00:02:38.580 of entrepreneurs which is the base audience of this show uh do the same thing i hear it all the
00:02:44.860 time guys and i want to kind of let you know and tell you my experience of how i answer answered this
00:02:50.500 gentleman's question um which is very simple i i understand i do uh i've been in business for 20
00:02:59.020 plus years uh i started literally with nothing and now we've got close to 400 employees under one roof
00:03:06.900 and and thousands and thousands and thousands of outside uh representatives of the company and so
00:03:13.080 there's a lot going on now and a lot more going on now than what was going on five years ago when we
00:03:19.080 had you know fuck i don't know 30 employees and i was 350 pounds and if we're going to make this on 0.98
00:03:26.400 youtube keith go ahead and throw that picture up of what i used to look like bro uh so people can
00:03:30.780 really understand what i'm talking about um and at that time in my life i was making way more money
00:03:38.760 than i ever had before right i i thought i was killing it you know i was finally not struggling
00:03:45.260 to pay my bills i was being able to bank some money uh i was living a pretty good life but i was very
00:03:52.820 unhappy and very unfulfilled and the reason i was is because i had let myself go physically and every
00:03:59.700 time i you know had to go to a wedding and put on a suit or i had to go to a pool party or i had to go
00:04:05.460 to a barbecue really any time other than than me sitting at home working in my home office because
00:04:12.220 back then you know i didn't i we had our warehouse but our office at our old hq but i didn't have an
00:04:17.880 office i'd given it up to someone else because we needed the room and so i worked at home a lot and
00:04:23.860 so like i never really saw people i i was like well i'm not working the counter at the store anymore so
00:04:28.740 it's not as important and i sold myself this bill of goods um that really hindered me uh for a long
00:04:38.280 time and it what what i want you to understand here is that when we sell ourselves this bill of
00:04:46.740 good of putting our health on the back burner uh and you know and then trying to put the company first
00:04:52.240 you really cannot do that uh it doesn't matter what you do it doesn't matter if you're a painter you own
00:04:58.660 whatever whatever the fuck you do it doesn't matter you will never produce what you can produce in
00:05:04.140 business without first taking care of your physical and mental health okay and physical and mental health
00:05:11.000 is not a bubble bath with fucking cupcakes and self-care like a lot of these people try to tell
00:05:16.680 you it is it's doing the things required to build a life that you don't need to fucking escape from 0.95
00:05:22.580 okay that's self-love so what happened for me was i had a moment of clarity right i i i was at home i
00:05:33.680 i got pneumonia and a lot of you guys are familiar with the story but some of you aren't i got pneumonia
00:05:38.640 i was sick for three weeks uh and i was picking up my phone every day and i'm looking at the phone and
00:05:43.560 i'm like fuck dude i'm still making money making more money i haven't made before i'm sitting at home 0.90
00:05:49.180 and a lot of you guys know i'd make the joke i watched that movie pacific rim like 30 times in
00:05:54.780 that three weeks uh which i still enjoy that movie but uh you know i clicked for me as to why uh i was
00:06:04.800 feeling you know unfulfilled and i started thinking about the stereotype right like of the wealthy
00:06:12.200 individual um who is depressed and not fulfilled and ends up killing themselves right and a lot of
00:06:21.020 people like to point at that when they point at successful people successful people but just because
00:06:26.760 you're making money and just because you have a nice income does not make you successful successful
00:06:32.060 is pursuing your true potential in all areas of life and i wasn't pursuing my full potential over here
00:06:40.220 with my health and because of that my business actually suffered i wasn't really aware of it
00:06:45.860 because i was making more money than i had ever made before so in my mind i was thinking fuck you're 0.89
00:06:53.680 kicking ass when in reality if i had taken care of business with my health i would have been kicking 0.92
00:06:58.880 that much more ass okay and this is what i've realized over the last four or five years and what i want to 0.53
00:07:05.380 to get through to you guys is this and when i was talking to this gentleman he said well you know
00:07:10.020 andy i i just don't have the time bullshit you're not organized and you're not prioritizing and this 0.96
00:07:16.360 is why i recommend 75 hard so much and i i believe in it so much in the live hard program is because what
00:07:23.660 it does is it shows you and i hate to tell people like hey this is what you're going to experience but
00:07:28.580 it's fucking it is the truth when you actually prioritize your health and your nutrition and 0.75
00:07:34.600 your workouts and you're focusing on getting them done what you start to realize is how much time
00:07:39.900 you're actually wasting and so what i was explaining this dude was look dude i know that you think you're
00:07:47.060 real busy right now but you're not really that fucking busy and you need to get this in check and 0.96
00:07:52.120 what will happen is you'll become much more effective much more organized and you'll actually have more
00:07:56.540 time over here to put in your business and not only will you have more time you'll have more energy
00:08:01.860 and the energy will be more effective which will help you grow and so if you're a young entrepreneur
00:08:07.740 right now and you know when i say young i mean young in the name of you know or in the way of uh years
00:08:14.580 experience as an entrepreneur take it from me okay someone who has gone through that phase where i let my
00:08:23.100 health fade telling myself i was going to put my business first and understand that that is not an
00:08:29.820 effective way truly to maximize your potential and if you really think about it it just it makes perfect
00:08:36.180 logical sense our body our mind those are our tools and if our tools aren't sharp and they're not in shape
00:08:43.860 how can you how can you expect to produce the most over here in anything especially in business
00:08:50.840 or in entrepreneurship which requires so much mental energy on a daily basis i mean dude if you've
00:08:57.340 chosen the entrepreneur path and you've been at it for a while you know what i'm talking about you're
00:09:01.640 talking about getting kicked right in the fucking nuts over and over and over and over and over again 0.92
00:09:06.080 literally every day um thinking one day that it will eventually stop and i can tell you it won't stop
00:09:11.580 you just kind of get used to it so the best way to tolerate these things is to be built for them
00:09:17.220 both physically and mentally all right so if you're a young entrepreneur and you're on the path
00:09:22.480 and you're starting to tell yourself man this is taking a lot of energy this is this this this i need
00:09:27.600 to step back from my fitness and put more more into here no dude you need to do the opposite of that
00:09:32.420 and what you need to do is pour into your physical health and your brain by creating mental toughness
00:09:39.860 and discipline and these other skills organization skills which will free up time for you to be more
00:09:44.860 effective over here and if we think about the practical aspects of how much confidence helps
00:09:51.320 in entrepreneurship how much grit helps in entrepreneurship how much uh fortitude helps
00:09:56.680 in entrepreneurship resiliency uh you know all the little things that we talk about through the 75 hard
00:10:02.860 program it it equates dollars and cents in your business okay you can actually pull these tools right
00:10:10.040 out of your tool belt and put them to work in your business whatever it is that you do whether you're
00:10:15.160 a sole proprietor or you're a freelancer or you run a big company so my main thing was guys i just want
00:10:21.780 to try to bring you guys real thought-provoking value and not just you know tell you a bunch of
00:10:27.780 bullshit this is real practical shit that will make your life 10 times better had i taken my health 0.84
00:10:34.100 seriously back in 2009 10 11 12 and not let myself get really fat to where i had to make a big
00:10:42.400 correction um we would be far better off in terms of where our company is right now because i would
00:10:49.900 have been that much more effective i would have been able to pour that much more energy into it i would
00:10:54.540 have been that much more sharp i would have had that much more fortitude grit and all the things i just
00:10:58.680 mentioned so if this is you and you're like this guy who asked me this question today and you're you're
00:11:04.920 you're letting your health fade you're letting your you're you know you're getting a little fat you're
00:11:08.280 getting a little uh you know maybe you're a laugh fat like i was um dude handle this shit because when 0.95
00:11:14.980 you handle that shit the rest of your life will fall in a line with that okay and it's not a physical
00:11:21.140 thing a lot of people look at you know they need to lose weight no dude what i'm you fix your mind
00:11:27.600 then your body follows then your life follows it's real simple but this is why i'm such an advocate
00:11:33.940 of 75 hard guys and why i live that lifestyle most of the time the reason i you guys you know
00:11:40.800 constantly say dude don't you want to break don't you know i don't want to break and the reason i don't
00:11:44.700 want to fucking break is because i have a lot of shit that i want to do and win at in life and i know 0.97
00:11:50.060 to win at the level that i want to win at i have to be my very best my tools have to be sharp
00:11:55.940 everything has to be great because i'm competing against people who are much smarter have way more
00:12:02.460 resources have a lot more advantages than i have and i'm aware of that i don't think of myself as
00:12:07.580 some gifted human i think of myself as for what i am which is a fucking regular dude who grew up in 0.83
00:12:13.120 st louis missouri who just never fucking quit okay so you guys all have that within you all of you but 0.91
00:12:21.240 just don't make the mistake i made okay it cost me five or six years of progress and i thought this
00:12:26.040 was a relevant question for us to bring up and talk about on the show because i know a lot of
