00:00:00.000 What's up, guys? It's Andy Priscilla, and this is the show for the realists. Say goodbye
00:00:21.040 to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking 1.00
00:00:26.120 reality. I am joined today. Surprise again, motherfuckers. We're going to have another 0.99
00:00:31.000 one of those shows, all right? We just decided before the show that that's going to be the
00:00:35.040 name, Surprise Again. I don't know if that actually, Surprise Again, like, it don't work
00:00:39.920 like that, but we just roll with it. I'm joined by my sexy co-host, White Lightning.
00:00:45.220 White Lightning, baby. What's up? What's up, dude?
00:00:48.840 That animation was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen.
00:00:51.560 Bro, I laughed for 10 minutes straight.
00:00:53.500 It was like, it was fire. You know what was fucking funny about it, bro? Is that, like, 0.98
00:00:57.360 I could tell, like, people didn't want to laugh at it, but then they started laughing at it.
00:01:02.840 Oh, no, it's completely fine. Please laugh at it.
00:01:04.740 Like, dude. Man, y'all are too fucking sensitive out there. Like, shit's funny. Lighting the 0.99
00:01:11.640 fuck up. Anyway, what do we got today for our new surprise?
00:01:15.900 Yeah, for another surprise. So the questions episode, the first surprise from last week
00:01:20.760 went over well. I think people really liked that. And so we got three more questions for you. I'm
00:01:25.100 gonna try to keep it at three. All right. That's it. That's the rule. That's the rule. It's only
00:01:28.480 three. That's the rule. So this works. I give Andy three questions from you guys. Again, we have
00:01:32.580 the email address. What is that, Sal? Shit, Sal. Damn.
00:01:36.700 Ask Andy at andyprishella.com. Was that an insult or a compliment? 1.00
00:01:40.220 What did he say? He called you Sal.
00:01:41.920 Yeah, it might be both. I mean, it depends on how you take it.
00:01:45.120 Sal's decently looking.
00:01:46.920 Decently?
00:01:47.520 Decently. Yeah. All right. Third best looking guy in the room.
00:01:51.620 Hey, look, in this room, you could be last. You're still pretty good looking. Yeah. Let's
00:01:55.240 just say that. All right. Thanks. All right. But ask Andy.
00:01:59.040 Ask Andy at andyprishella.com. Right. So we got all these questions and guys are awesome.
00:02:03.120 So we're going to get through this. You ready to roll? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it.
00:02:05.520 All right. So first question. All right. So wait, hold on. Before we get into that, let me just
00:02:10.660 remind you guys of the fee. OK, the fee is share the show. OK, we're going to talk about
00:02:16.340 all kinds of things in these Q&A shows where we're going. This is an opportunity for me
00:02:21.520 to sort of, you know, pick the questions that it seems like you guys are wanting to to have
00:02:26.620 answered and us get real granular on these answers. So if you do have a question, submit
00:02:31.280 it. Ask Andy at andyprishella.com. All right. So ask Andy at andyprishella.com. Send us an
00:02:36.860 email. Ask a question.
00:02:39.320 One question.
00:02:40.460 Yeah. One question. Yeah. Yeah. Not like a fucking book, bro. We won't pick those because
00:02:45.440 like it's too complicated. Usually what I do is I go through it. I see because there is
00:02:49.420 a few. I mean, there's thousands of fucking submissions. Yeah. So I really we do appreciate 0.99
00:02:53.200 that. But I find the questions that, you know, if you want your question answered, I'd probably
00:02:58.540 put it in the subject bar if you could make it fit in there. But anyhow, that's what we're
00:03:04.420 going to do. And if you learn something, if it made you laugh, if it gave you a new perspective,
00:03:08.920 you got real value out of the show, do us a solid and share the show for us. That's how
00:03:13.560 we grow. We don't go out and advertise the show and we don't run ads on the show. This
00:03:18.340 is totally driven by word of mouth and by you guys and our listeners. And so if we do
00:03:24.020 good, we win. If we do bad, we lose. I'm cool with that. I like that system. It works really
00:03:29.020 well in the whole entire world. So that's the deal. All right. That's it. All right.
00:03:37.200 So first question. All right. So, Andy, I've been having a killing ass week Monday through
00:03:43.000 Friday. Right. But I noticed a trend in my life where during the week I can work really, 0.98
00:03:48.400 really hard and do all the things I need to do to get done. But then when the weekend
00:03:52.460 comes, I lose momentum. So the question is, how do you maintain momentum going into the
00:03:57.520 weekend? Well, listen, I think that's a question that most people struggle with. And I know for
00:04:04.300 sure in fitness people do this, but what they don't pay attention to is that when they fall
00:04:09.820 off their fitness, they fall off of usually everything else as well. I mean, dude, I was
00:04:13.380 the guy, guys, you know, you don't get to be 350 pounds of mashed potatoes like I was without
00:04:20.340 understanding what that person is asking. You know what I'm saying? So first of all, you
00:04:25.920 got to understand there is a real, there's a real math part to this. Okay. If you're only
00:04:33.580 going, let's just say, all right, what most people do for sake of discussion, you have the
00:04:39.860 average person. All right. And this is how I used to live. I would, I would come into work
00:04:45.260 on Monday. All right. And I was usually hung over from Sunday. All right. So Tuesday I started
00:04:51.080 feeling okay. And I got to be productive Wednesday. I was also productive. I was finally feeling
00:04:56.500 normal and I execute Thursday would be happy hour. Okay. So I would get three quarters of
00:05:04.040 a day done on Thursday. And then Friday, I wouldn't care about what I was doing because
00:05:10.060 I was hung over from Thursday and I knew we were almost a Friday. And then I would go
00:05:13.920 out and hang out on Friday, Saturday, and then day drink on Sunday. So like, dude, if we
00:05:18.820 really be, if we're really honest with ourselves about that lifestyle, right, it really takes
00:05:23.280 up Friday and Monday too. So when you really think about the math on that against someone
00:05:28.640 who's actually putting in a a hundred percent effort, you know, what we're talking about is
00:05:35.680 really only three productive days out of seven, which means you're only executing 42% of the
00:05:41.860 time. You can't beat someone with 42% execution going against someone who executes a hundred
00:05:47.740 percent of the time. So once I started realizing that, cause like, dude, if we take it and we
00:05:53.040 just say, okay, it's only two days that we fuck off, you know, that's still, um, 28% of 0.99
00:05:58.440 the time, 30, that's one third of the time that you are losing to the guy who isn't fucking 0.99
00:06:03.880 off. And depending on how you look at that, um, you know, over the course of a year, if you 0.96
00:06:10.760 just say, if you do two days out of every week, um, you know, we're looking at 112 days
00:06:15.960 a year, right? Uh, divided by, let's see, that's 30% of your year. Okay. That's, that's
00:06:22.180 fucking, that's, that's fucking, uh, that's almost four months time that you're fucking 0.99
00:06:29.280 fucking off when, when the guy you're competing against is not, it's crazy when the numbers 0.99
00:06:33.220 change that you put the numbers in perspective. That's what I'm saying. So you literally cannot 0.98
00:06:37.020 win living like that. That's why you don't see people who run huge operations or the
00:06:45.360 companies that have the momentum that are kicking everybody's ass, um, and, and doing 0.75
00:06:49.820 big things. They don't live like that. It's just very simple. So it becomes a discussion 0.97
00:06:56.080 and a question in your head about what, what's it worth to you? Because a lot of people will
00:07:00.640 hear that and they'll hear, well, that's my, that's important to me. And that's my, that's
00:07:03.940 fine. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying it's a real math equation that you're putting
00:07:08.480 yourself behind when you don't understand the numbers like that. Okay. If you really
00:07:12.980 break down the math, there's zero possibility that you can beat someone who is giving a hundred
00:07:19.440 percent effort every single day. If you're living like the rest of society, you will lose.
00:07:24.460 That's a hundred percent fact. So to answer the question, how do you fix it? Um, look, man,
00:07:30.940 uh, I, you have to force it. Okay. You have the first couple of times you have to force
00:07:38.420 yourself through the weekend, making it through a weekend for me without cheating or drinking
00:07:42.940 alcohol still to this day is somewhat of a challenge. And I have to force myself through
00:07:49.000 it. Now I will say it is, I mean, 99% easier than it used to be. It used to be like, I have
00:07:56.940 fear of missing out. Or that was my, my social circles was, you know, going to Billy G's and
00:08:02.780 drinking all day. All your friends are doing it. Everybody's doing it. Yeah. Right, dude.
00:08:05.740 And I do miss that shit. But now if I decided to do that, like I go drink coffee, you know, 0.99
00:08:10.880 and it sounds stupid, but like, dude, I actually prefer the, the hanging out in that without the
00:08:17.680 alcohol for, you know, so like, dude, it's just important to, to, to understand what it's 0.96
00:08:23.360 worth to you. And once you figure out and actually realize how much you're giving up by doing that,
00:08:27.960 it becomes easier to push through. So this is just one of those situations where the first,
00:08:33.280 you know, week is going to be the hardest weekend to push through. Uh, the second weekend you've got
00:08:37.760 to push through, it's going to get a little easier. The third one, it's going to, you're going to have
00:08:41.760 sort of established a new routine. Um, a lot of the problem comes from people who live in that,
00:08:48.560 in that life. They don't know what the routine should be on Saturday and Sunday. Right. It's
00:08:54.180 like they wake up on Saturday and Sunday. Yeah. What do I do? Right. Because they're usually not
00:08:59.200 going to the office, uh, and then their normal routine. Right. So the, the important thing to
00:09:04.400 establish is a, is a new routine for your weekend. And that dude, that's as simple as taking out a sheet
00:09:09.460 of paper and saying, what does a day look like for somebody who wins? And I can tell you what my day
00:09:15.220 looks like. And that's all I can share with you. Cause I don't know how everybody else does it,
00:09:18.040 but you know, for my day and you might see some of these older guys out golfing and doing shit and 0.51
00:09:23.860 you know, doing the thing on the weekends and you might be asking, well, those guys are already to
00:09:28.520 the point I'm building, I'm, I'm building here. You know what I'm saying? Like, so. Well, shit. I mean,
00:09:34.760 they might still be getting business done golfing too. You know what I'm saying? That's what I'm
00:09:38.200 saying. So like you, you have to be careful what you're looking at and what you draw from that.
00:09:43.080 But, uh, you know, for me, dude, I mean, DJ, you know, my routine, same shit. What do I do on 0.97
00:09:49.480 Saturday and Sunday? Same shit you do Monday through Friday. Like that's exactly it. So like 1.00
00:09:53.820 I wake up, I go to, I, I do my stuff at the house. I go work out and I literally do the exact same
00:10:00.260 thing. Even if there's nobody here at the office, I come here and there always is people here at the
00:10:05.160 office, but I come here. Honestly, this is the truth to, to maintain my routine. Like it keeps me from
00:10:11.520 drifting into that old life that I had. So, um, the things I would say that would be important to,
00:10:18.200 you know, here is one, uh, realize what the numbers really are to realize that you can't
00:10:24.300 beat someone who's really dedicated, who's giving all that effort and time with your half-ass effort.
00:10:29.760 You can't, uh, it's impossible. You're not going to get lucky. Your things aren't like, you're going
00:10:35.000 to fucking lose to that person. Um, so you have to then decide what's his worth to you. Right. Uh, 0.94
00:10:40.800 to me, it's worth staying on the routine. Um, not because, not just because, but because I want to
00:10:47.060 protect myself from going backwards. Um, and then, you know, you, you've got to force yourself through
00:10:52.840 those things. And, and for me, once I understand the consequences, it becomes easier to push through.
00:10:59.140 So that's, that's my answer to that. 0.95
00:11:01.100 And I'll also add to that guys, just so you're hearing Andy say this, we still have fucking 0.96
00:11:05.300 fun. Like, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's always a good time. Like, it's never like, 0.95
00:11:09.720 oh, it's robotic shit. Like, no, we're having a good time. It's always good. So I think people 0.99
00:11:13.460 will hear that and like, oh, that just means I'm gonna be in this. Well, that's because they
00:11:16.740 haven't acclimated their life to the new way. To the new way. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, you know,
00:11:22.240 dude, I'm just telling you, man, uh, when you, when you take a break from that lifestyle,
00:11:28.020 you realize that you're wasting a lot of, a lot of your life. That's just, it's just the truth.
00:11:32.800 And dude, everyone, and I'm not pooing on it or making people feel bad, bro. I live that life.
00:11:37.820 And honestly, I still love to do that shit. I just know what it costs me. So I don't do it as much. 1.00
00:11:43.760 So that's how I feel about it. Yeah. All right. So next question. All right. So
00:11:49.500 I'm on, I'm, I'm beginning my success journey. Right. Um, and you know, I'm about, I would say
00:11:57.640 I'm about halfway through of where my initial goals were. I'm doing pretty freaking good. Um,
00:12:02.400 and halfway through this journey, it seems like all you've been met with was jealousy, envy,
00:12:09.580 you know, lack of support. And it mainly comes from your friends, sometimes even family. So how do
00:12:14.960 you handle the lack of support from friends and families when you're starting out on your success
00:12:19.080 journey? Uh, yeah, you shouldn't expect support. I mean, dude, that's entitlement mentality that's
00:12:26.400 been brought into our culture over the last 25 years. Um, the same thing that's called the deg 0.99
00:12:32.420 that's caused the deg degradation of basically our whole fucking societal framework at this point.
00:12:38.580 Uh, you haven't done anything to earn the support or the belief or the expectation. And so you 0.96
00:12:47.820 shouldn't expect people to believe in you. When you say, when you're just little old you and you say,
00:12:52.660 I'm going to fucking do this great thing. I mean, the people, instead of expecting people to believe 0.93
00:12:58.800 you, you should be super thankful for the people that do believe in you because they don't have any
00:13:02.480 reason to believe in you. So maybe if you switch your perspective from that expectation,
00:13:06.580 why the fuck don't you believe in me? Fuck you. Uh, to, Hey man, I'm, I'm, you know, 1.00
00:13:11.960 I don't have many supporters, but thank you for believing in me. And then take all the people who
00:13:16.220 don't support and use that as fuel. Okay. Like if you can't figure out how to turn criticism,
00:13:22.060 uh, first of all, criticism comes in two forms. Uh, a lot of times we get frustrated with people who
00:13:30.020 criticize us when in reality, they're giving us a peek into a place to get really to improve.
00:13:34.920 Right. But we can't hear it because we're offended or we're upset or we're emotional.
00:13:38.920 So you have to identify is the criticism valid? Is it real shit? Or is it just somebody trolling 0.99
00:13:44.720 you to, to get an emotional reaction? Either way, it's useful because one, you can take the
00:13:52.360 criticism, examine your, whatever it is they're criticizing and see if you can improve, which is
00:13:57.520 what smart people do. And if you can't improve and you're doing your best, you write that shit off 0.99
00:14:02.300 and you say, no, I'm doing it here. Um, you know, and then if you get the troll that's, 0.99
00:14:07.520 you know, or like the aunt or the uncle or whoever that says, Oh yeah, good luck with that shit. 0.99
00:14:13.120 You know, that that's for rich people or that's for this, or they're discouraging you. Then you 1.00
00:14:17.620 take that shit, you put it in your brain. And every time you decide, every time you start feeling lazy, 1.00
00:14:21.700 every time you start feeling like, man, this is too much. Think of that shit because it'll keep you 1.00
00:14:26.100 going. All right. And, and there's two kinds of people, by the way, you know, one, one person 1.00
00:14:31.520 hears that shit and they're like, Oh man, fuck. I can't do it, man. Fuck your uncle. Your uncle 1.00
00:14:38.160 don't know motherfucking shit. He never did what you're trying to do. You fucking look up to him 1.00
00:14:42.580 because he's your uncle, but that ain't a good enough reason to take what he says and not shove 1.00
00:14:46.580 it down his fucking throat. Dude, I got told my whole life, dude, my whole fucking professional, 1.00
00:14:52.000 the first 15 years of my company, I got asked regularly by people. I knew my whole life. 0.97
00:14:59.380 Oh, you still got that little vitamin shop? I mean, dude. And like, I wanted to, dude,
00:15:04.280 I know every motherfucker to ask me. I can fucking think of them. I can see their fucking face right 0.99
00:15:09.140 now. Right. And, and, and dude, I'm way past that. But the point is that'll still get me to execute on 1.00
00:15:15.620 projects now. Like, dude, when I have shit that I got to do that, I'm not looking forward to doing 0.92
00:15:19.760 because contrary to popular belief, um, I don't like doing everything I got to do every day. 1.00
00:15:24.700 Like everybody's like, Oh, I love your fucking shit. Yeah. You, you, I love it, but I don't love 1.00
00:15:29.060 everything about it all the time, you know? And so I think of those things and they drive me to take
00:15:34.960 action. And so that's really the trick here. The trick is realizing that entrepreneurship and success
00:15:40.760 is really fucking hard. So you have to have and develop the ability to use literally everything you
00:15:47.480 can as fuel and as motivation to move yourself forward because it's that hard. So my advice
00:15:54.460 would be stop, stop, uh, thinking that they hate you start listening a little closer. Maybe you can
00:16:00.520 improve for some of the shit they say. And the motherfuckers that make you mad that, that, 1.00
00:16:04.260 that, you know, are wrong. Remember that shit and use it because that's going to be the most valuable 1.00
00:16:09.300 shit you ever fucking hear. I can promise you that everybody talks about all this shit they learn 1.00
00:16:13.760 and, you know, positive reinforcement. And I get it, dude, but positivity really is, is, you know, 0.99
00:16:21.020 it's, it's, it's, yeah, bro. It's limited. It's, it's only part of the equation. Sometimes we got to
00:16:27.880 be told, uh, some negative shit to get us off the fucking, get us off our asses. Everybody's like that. 1.00
00:16:34.820 So embrace those opportunities to use that because it's a gift. It's a gift that most people will hear
00:16:40.920 and fucking let it go one ear out the other and sit their whole life and be upset about it. 0.98
00:16:45.500 Instead of being upset about it, say, Hey, you know what? Fuck you, uncle Joe. 1.00
00:16:49.860 Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, what's your name? But you know what I'm saying? Like, dude, 1.00
00:16:56.760 it's, we, we have to understand that we haven't earned it. And then, you know, what'll happen
00:17:02.520 after you've used their, their fuel for 20 fucking years and you're fucking still pissed about it, 0.98
00:17:08.120 you'll be able to appreciate them for what they gave you. Right. Cause now I look at the people 0.99
00:17:12.680 who said that and I'm not bitter. I'm actually fucking thankful. I'm thankful. They said that 0.97
00:17:18.360 shit to me. I'm thankful. They doubted me. I'm thankful that they fucking didn't believe I could 1.00
00:17:22.700 do these things because that's driven me to improve. So while, you know, and, and dude, 0.91
00:17:28.280 people realize once you figured it, like, dude, all the motherfuckers who said this shit to me today, 1.00
00:17:33.240 now they're like, damn. Okay. Like now it's a big vitamin. Yeah. Like I fed them their piece of 1.00
00:17:40.120 pie, bro. It feels good. Oh yeah. You know? So use it. That's my advice. That's fucking fire.
00:17:48.320 All right. We're two for two. Here we go. All right. I'm working a corporate job full time. Okay. But I 1.00
00:17:57.140 also have a respectable side hustle. Okay. How do you know when it's time to leave the security
00:18:03.020 of a full-time job and just go all in on yourself and take that side hustle to the next level?
00:18:09.800 Oh, well, um, first of all,
00:18:15.520 the, the, it's very simple. It's math. Once you can get to a point where you can pay your bills
00:18:23.320 for your new hustle. Okay. I don't like the, the side hustle. I don't like that terminology
00:18:30.720 because it makes it feel like it's not ever real. Um, but I would say your project. Okay.
00:18:37.160 Uh, once your project gets to a point, like I fucking hate that term side hustle. It sounds 0.92
00:18:43.260 like you're going to lose, bro. It sounds like something your uncle Joe tells you. Yeah. It
00:18:46.200 sounds like you're going to fucking lose. Yeah. Okay. It sounds like a bunch of weak shit. 0.99
00:18:50.060 Okay. So quit calling your side hustle and start calling it your fucking project. 1.00
00:18:54.220 Here's my project. This is what I'm going to do. Um, it sounds more confident, doesn't it? 1.00
00:18:59.580 No, for sure. Yeah. Like I'm fucking doing this for sure. You know, not, Oh, I'm side and see
00:19:03.600 how it's fucking going. Stick my toe in the water. Yeah. Right. Yeah. No dude. Ooh, it's a little 0.99
00:19:07.560 cold. Yeah. Right. No, it's going to be cold for a while, but once that thing gets warm enough
00:19:12.620 and it can start paying the bills. All right. Where you don't need your other source of
00:19:17.480 income. You should, you, you need, if you're serious, which you should be, that's when you
00:19:22.420 move. Okay. And a lot of people never get to that point because they live beyond their
00:19:26.540 means. So there's actually a two in one answer here. One, when you start that project that
00:19:31.780 your goal is to eventually become your life work, um, you should be reducing your costs of
00:19:39.180 living. You should be, you should be downsizing your apartment, your, however you could cut
00:19:43.680 whatever it is out. Okay. And start running real lean. All right. That gives you flexibility.
00:19:48.460 A lot of you guys want to flex and you want to fucking drive shit that you shouldn't be 0.99
00:19:52.000 driving and live places you shouldn't be living. And what that does is that removes your ability 0.99
00:19:56.860 to be agile and flexible in life circumstances. And you have to be when it comes to being an entrepreneur.
00:20:02.380 So my advice would be to take your, your expenses, get them streamlined, get your project to a point
00:20:12.660 where you, where it's paying your bills. And then I would transition away from this and go over here
00:20:19.480 full time. Okay. And that's how you do that. That's how you make that transition. A lot of people
00:20:25.000 will do that too soon, right? They'll jump into this with no income. And then, you know,
00:20:31.560 they have no way to survive and then they have to go back. That happens a lot. But what also happens
00:20:37.620 is people wait too late. So what they do is they start this project. They stay over here in this job
00:20:42.900 and they wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And then this never happens because they never
00:20:48.040 have the courage to make that jump. All right. So that's how you need to be thinking about it.
00:20:53.480 You need to think of it as first off, reduce drag, you know, reduce your expenses, get humble,
00:20:58.380 get lean, right? Move over, move into this new thing that's paying the bills and then put all
00:21:03.680 your energy into it. Because over here, you're now, you're, you're now competing with other people
00:21:09.240 and there's other people who have better circumstances than you. There's, there's people
00:21:14.420 that have rich families. There's people that have rich parents. There's people that have,
00:21:18.000 and I've competed against all these people. These are things I didn't have. All right. But they,
00:21:22.420 but, but here's what you do have by not having those resources is you have a zero options mentality, 0.99
00:21:28.380 meaning you have to fucking execute or you will lose. All right. And that brings a sense of urgency 0.98
00:21:34.000 that all the people with all the resources will never have. So if you don't have the resources and
00:21:40.120 you're in a situation where you have to earn it, be thankful because all those motherfuckers that get 0.99
00:21:44.600 the backing and this was me, dude, I was so bitter. I didn't have the finances or the backing or this or 0.99
00:21:49.560 that. And I was mad about it. But what I realized was, had I had those things, I would have fell
00:21:54.640 back on the money instead of getting creative and learning my skills. So you guys out there that
00:21:59.800 are in this situation, this person where they, they're just getting started and they want to
00:22:03.300 jump in, do so intelligently, but also realize that starting so lean is actually a great thing
00:22:09.780 because it forces you to learn creativity. And then what happens is you develop skills that your
00:22:15.340 bigger competitors don't have. So for example, um, you know, the, the big, the big giant companies
00:22:23.220 out there that are being run now, they're not run by the founders of those companies. They're run by
00:22:27.840 employees that have never been through the trials and tribulations and fire that you're about to put
00:22:34.040 yourself through. So you're going to learn all these lessons. And then they're sitting there not
00:22:37.760 understanding the game because they never went through it, which gives you an intelligence
00:22:42.260 advantage and experience advantage over even the bigger companies who have been around longer,
00:22:47.000 if that makes sense. So you have to put yourself through this process because dude, that fire and
00:22:53.160 battle that you go through is what produces all the skills and the skills are what pays the fucking 0.99
00:22:57.400 bills. All right. And let you compete, uh, you know, on a playing field where you're not necessarily 0.99
00:23:03.900 the one with the most resources. So it's a long answer, but no, no, no. So didn't you,
00:23:10.660 cause didn't you, when you first started as two, didn't you work as like a bartender on the side,
00:23:14.760 but you put all, you were still full on in the project. Yeah. But you had the side hustles.
00:23:19.800 Yeah. But I was also 19, 20, 21 years old, 22 years old, dude. You know, there's there,
00:23:25.740 a lot of these people have families right now, right? They have a family. So one of the things
00:23:30.400 that I had that worked for me that, you know, was for, for a lot of people listening, you're going to
00:23:35.360 resonate with is I didn't have any drag when I started my business. I didn't have kids.
00:23:39.420 I didn't have a family and I don't mean to insult anybody by calling it drag. I'm just using the 1.00
00:23:43.940 terminology. I didn't have any obligations that were real. Right. Um, so that, and that's where
00:23:50.940 you want to be as much as possible when you start, dude, I'm just telling you, it's just much easier.
00:23:55.700 But if you do happen to have those things, you need to minimize and streamline it. So you can get
00:24:00.640 your energy focus over here because dude, I don't care how good you are. There's if, if, if,
00:24:06.220 if you're taking, if you're taking the average human, all right. And even, even a smart human,
00:24:11.320 and you're going to get someone who's average is just willing to put in the time. The guy who's
00:24:15.880 willing to put in the time, a hundred percent is probably going to beat the guy who's smart.
00:24:19.380 Um, because we're all not that far away from each other. You know what I'm saying? So anybody can win
00:24:25.260 like, that's why they, they say football, you know, like any given Sunday. So like, dude, this is,
00:24:30.160 this is, you are not that much better. And the guy you think is better is not that much better than
00:24:35.940 you. And you just have to understand where the time equation plays out and make it. So you have
00:24:40.380 the biggest possible chance to succeed there. So cool. Well, that's surprise number two in the
00:24:46.900 books. Yeah. Surprise again, motherfuckers. All right, guys, if you got some value, uh, share the
