00:00:21.400
the fitness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality guys today
00:00:26.100
we have a real talk okay this is basically where i turn on the mic and i say what's on my fucking
00:00:32.960
mind all right and that's what i'm gonna do for you guys today but before i do that um i'd like to
00:00:38.200
remind you of the fee okay the fee is very simple if it made you think if it taught you something
00:00:43.460
if it made you laugh if it gave you a new perspective if you thought it was good do us a
00:00:48.000
favor and share the show man you know one of my biggest regrets over this last two years has been
00:00:53.400
that i didn't work hard enough to grow my platform and i sort of took it um you know as a as an extra
00:01:00.860
thing that i do with my life as a and not as important as i should have and i feel like dude
00:01:06.000
had i had a bigger platform um i could have maybe influenced a lot more of this bullshit that's been
00:01:12.440
going on for the last two years that has invaded our lives and made it annoying as fuck but that's
00:01:20.320
neither here nor there that's why i asked for you guys to share the show and help me grow the show
00:01:23.780
okay uh look today i want to i want to talk about something that has been on my mind lately as i
00:01:30.260
observe the current climate in terms of um you know what's socially acceptable when it comes to success
00:01:36.840
and what people try to do we live in this world right now you know where society has conditioned all
00:01:44.080
of us to seek comfort all right fast easy automatic free low stress relax heal take your time no big
00:01:55.120
deal everything's okay and the problem with that is that it's all about instant gratification okay and
00:02:04.380
we're grooming society is grooming our citizens and you to look at life as if it's no big deal
00:02:13.280
as if everything should be easy as if everything should be quick and fast and uh you should get
00:02:20.200
the benefits today and that's just not reality and the problem with this guys is that we constantly
00:02:25.860
find ourselves looking for the easiest way to get somewhere and what that does is it and this is what
00:02:32.980
i want this is the point that i want to get across to you guys okay what it does is it makes us seek
00:02:39.160
comfort over seeking pressure all right you cannot develop the skills that you're going to need to
00:02:47.180
build the life that you want without being comfortable being uncomfortable in the pressure
00:02:52.700
all right the pressure that comes from you trying to do great things and you trying to become great and
00:02:59.980
you trying to uh build a great life is what actually is going to force you to develop the skills needed
00:03:07.240
to build those things okay so the danger here when you hear these things over and over and over and
00:03:14.440
over again about you know free easy fast uh no no effort etc etc etc the reason that you hear this shit
00:03:22.940
is because they can't sell you this hey guess what it's going to be hard as fuck it's going to take a
00:03:30.860
long fucking time and you're probably going to want to quit every motherfucking day for the next 10 years
00:03:35.820
they can't sell you that all right no one can write a program and say hey here's a program for 997
00:03:43.160
and it's called hard as fuck no one can sell that to you so you have to be aware and you have to be
00:03:50.080
smart that there's a lot of people who have hijacked the reality of what it takes to succeed
00:03:57.020
for their own benefit in their own pocketbooks and this is bad for you all right the whole reason i ever
00:04:03.960
started started doing this show was because i knew that i had learned things that other people
00:04:09.300
weren't privileged enough to learn because i had a father who happened to be an entrepreneur he taught
00:04:15.240
me a lot of different things growing up and one of the things that he taught me that has been the most
00:04:20.320
important thing i think in terms of my personal success that i want to share with you is to embrace
00:04:26.220
the pressure all right pressure creates diamonds that's what you have to understand if you constantly
00:04:35.320
work to avoid the pressure to avoid the conflict to avoid the serious problems that are in your life
00:04:41.900
you could never actually do the critical thinking necessary in order for you to come up with the
00:04:47.460
solutions to those problems and in the solutions to those problems is the skill set that you start to
00:04:54.100
develop that allows you to address things at a better rate moving forward so for those of you
00:05:00.740
guys who are young and those of you guys who are young in the game and you constantly find yourself
00:05:06.580
looking at things and saying man that is a huge problem right you're standing now at the bottom of
00:05:12.380
this mountain and you're looking at the top you're like fuck dude i don't have any sales i don't know how
00:05:16.820
i'm going to build this business i don't know how i'm going to get fit i don't know how i'm going to do
00:05:20.620
this and you're looking at the top of the mountain there's only one answer to that guys and it's real
00:05:24.540
simple it's one step at a time if you're willing to accept that and you're willing to understand that
00:05:31.140
and you're willing to go on that journey you are so far ahead of most people because most people just
00:05:36.780
look at the mountain and they keep fucking walking and they say that's for someone else or that's too
00:05:42.720
hard or that's going to take too much time or that's and then what they do is they go try to find
00:05:47.660
a fake mountain and you know that has an escalator and stand on the top of it take a picture and post
00:05:52.460
on fucking instagram and act like they made it that's not real shit okay so for those of you guys
00:05:58.920
who are out there right now and you hear people in your life telling you oh you need to take it easy
00:06:04.040
oh you need to do this oh you need to not worry about this or you need to not concern yourself with
00:06:09.240
that or you're working too hard or what you know what do you think you're too good for us all this
00:06:12.980
shit that we hear when we set out on a journey that is abnormal to the rest of the world we are
00:06:19.140
always going to question ourselves and what i want you to take from me and what i want you to take from
00:06:25.780
this show is that those people i could tell you from experience that tell you that will be the same
00:06:32.320
motherfuckers that are asking you for a job 10 years down the road okay you have to remember that
00:06:38.920
you have to understand that okay so don't be afraid of solving problems don't have anxiety about
00:06:47.200
pressure welcome pressure start to take the pressure that you feel from what it is you want
00:06:53.380
to do and turn that into productive action all right let it move you let it push you let it be the thing
00:07:00.600
that makes you get where you want to go when everybody else is just taking it easy eating motherfucking
00:07:06.340
bonbons watching fucking bullshit on tv okay so guys recognize that that message that you hear
00:07:14.900
of easy fast convenient quick etc instant you know overnight million those are all stories for the
00:07:23.560
fucking sheep are you a sheep no you're not a sheep or you wouldn't be listening to this fucking show
00:07:29.940
because as far as i know i'm one of the only people out there if not the only one no i'm not the only
00:07:34.540
one there's a couple others that are actually telling you this is going to be hard as fuck
00:07:38.840
okay let the sheep believe all that shit let them buy those programs let them go to those seminars
00:07:44.780
let them you know do what they're going to do and don't concern yourself with where they are because
00:07:50.060
they are going to pretend to be way ahead of you when in reality you're chipping away chipping away
00:07:54.280
chipping away building a real foundation that you'll be able to stand tall and stand proud
00:07:59.360
and stand profitable on all right so stop paying attention to the sheep messaging and start
00:08:08.820
understanding that if you want to build a championship life if you want to build a life
00:08:13.760
that at the end of you're going to be completely and utterly fulfilled and happy and excited that you
00:08:20.560
fucking executed upon and proud that you built that you have to understand that that easy quick
00:08:28.420
nonsense is made for the fucking sheep and the sheep never fucking win all right so here's a piece
00:08:35.900
of advice for you when you see all these people running one direction run the other direction okay when
00:08:42.500
you see everybody going for the new shiny thing go to the old thing all right these are rules that have
00:08:49.020
served me well these are rules that have helped me win these are rules that have literally built the life
00:08:55.440
that i am really proud of especially for only being added for 20 something years okay we've done things
00:09:01.460
that 50 year old companies haven't done the only way i've been able to achieve that guys is by embracing
00:09:07.480
the pressure by understanding that it's not for everybody understanding that that pressure that i'm
00:09:13.980
feeling day in and day out over time over years is the thing that has given me the skills that allow me
00:09:21.520
to operate at a competitive advantage now all right so stop buying the bullshit stop believing hype
00:09:28.080
it's gonna you're gonna have to pay your dues it's gonna take time and it's gonna be hard as fuck
00:09:33.100
if you could accept that if you could understand that there is nothing out here there's nothing
00:09:39.480
nothing out here that can stop you from getting where you want to go guys and on the way on this
00:09:45.980
journey that you've chosen for your life you are going to see people who are somehow mystically
00:09:52.460
further ahead than you and you're going to see them and you're going to think man they got lucky or man
00:09:57.720
you know they had rich parents or man you know what they have i had all that same thoughts i had all
00:10:03.960
those same feelings growing through my business okay i was always bitter that everybody else who i knew
00:10:10.280
i worked harder than was ahead of me that was bitter as fuck about it but here's the thing that you need to know
00:10:17.460
that time when you're struggling when you're grinding and you see all these people seemingly win quick and easy and fast
00:10:24.780
they're not building any real skills there will come a day when you not only catch these people
00:10:30.940
but you beat their fucking asses in a competition because you went through this hard time that develops
00:10:38.960
all the skills that you're going to need so don't look at these people and think they're lucky they are not
00:10:44.980
lucky they don't even know what they're doing and they're going through life pretending to be successful
00:10:51.160
making you feel like shit when you're actually the one out here building real skills that will stop their
00:10:58.100
motherfucking throats at the end of the day so stop looking at the pressure as a bad thing and start
00:11:04.620
jumping right in the middle of it when you have the opportunity this goes for if you own a business
00:11:08.940
it goes for if you work in a business it goes for any situation in life because people that are willing
00:11:14.440
to adjust and adapt to the pressure and then solve the problems within the pressure because that's
00:11:19.040
what creates pressure right there's problems that need to be solved and there's a timeline and then
00:11:24.140
there's some urgency and a lot of people don't like that because they think it's uncomfortable
00:11:27.680
real champions that's their time to shine this is why we see hall of fame quarterbacks time after
00:11:35.300
time after time after time win games with 13 seconds left to go all right it's the pressure
00:11:42.660
where champions thrive and if you want a championship life you are going to have to get comfortable
00:11:48.900
jumping into the pressure when every other motherfucker jumps out
00:11:52.560
