00:01:17.480
so the answers might be a little edgy i'm gonna let you know why i'm pissed off i'm pissed off
00:01:24.040
because i see a lot of people who didn't give two fucks about what was going on for the last two years
00:01:28.960
who didn't say one word about standing up for freedom who didn't fucking have the courage to
00:01:35.660
do anything other than just comply uh cry about gas prices and if you don't understand why that
00:01:42.940
irritates the fuck out of me then you shouldn't even listen to this show because you're too dumb
00:01:47.320
to connect the dots okay now on with the questions question number one for you andy um
00:01:54.300
andy what do you do when you recognize burnout i don't get burned out bro i know what it's like to
00:02:03.000
be poor i know what it's like to be broke i know what it's like to be fat i know what it's like to be
00:02:07.440
a piece of shit and i don't ever want to be that again so for that reason i don't get burned out
00:02:12.020
are there days i don't feel like doing it yeah pretty much every day but i also recognize that
00:02:17.940
me not doing it produces more of what i don't want it's a very adult decision it's called just
00:02:23.740
doing what the fuck you know you need to do so i don't i don't cry and whine about burnout i don't
00:02:29.760
fucking uh miss things i don't stay home from work i don't fucking i'm an adult and i'm determined
00:02:39.040
to be successful and i'm determined to be the best that i could possibly be and i am determined
00:02:43.360
to be someone that when i fucking die people miss so i don't do anything when i get burned out other
00:02:51.840
than keep moving forward and that's why i'm me and everybody else is not me and that's it so if you
00:02:57.780
want to be like me be like me if you don't want to be like me be like all the motherfuckers that cry
00:03:03.320
on the internet about dealing with burnout that's your answer yeah i know it's real it's the fucking
00:03:10.060
truth yeah burn down after every second fucking day you're not cut out for it bro go do something
00:03:19.180
else work at mcdonald's i don't give a fuck burned out you're burned out because your life is too
00:03:26.180
fucking easy i know see half of these people out now and i have 90 percent of the people out there
00:03:34.320
that are trying to become successful grew up in some sort of middle class situation where they're
00:03:39.000
fucking soft it's cush yeah they're cush they're soft as fuck you don't know what the fucking real
00:03:45.360
life is like what did i have shit you just don't i didn't grow up in the hardest of circumstances
00:03:53.820
but nobody helped me build this shit and i know what it's like to fucking struggle i mean i've seen
00:03:58.620
you on gravel road i mean any fucking what it what it is what it is i had good times i had bad times
00:04:04.760
i'm just as someone who makes excuses for my whole life because of fucking anything yeah so when i'm
00:04:11.660
burned out i realize that other people are burned out and i realize if other people are burned out
00:04:16.380
they're probably going to quit and that's my time to not quit because then i widen the gap between me
00:04:20.080
and them and it's worked pretty good so far i don't know many too many dude many dudes that are
00:04:25.020
42 years old they're even in the realm of where the fuck i am that haven't gotten massive help from
00:04:31.820
some sort of outside source whether they they got a huge investment whether they inherited a bunch of
00:04:37.220
money whether they come from a billionaire family it's blah blah blah blah blah blah i don't know anybody
00:04:42.820
that's my age that has accomplished what the fuck i've accomplished doesn't owe motherfuckers a whole
00:04:47.800
bunch of money i don't know people's shit all right so let's be fucking real i know a couple things
00:04:54.000
and one of them is i don't cry about being burned out i wake up i fucking make deposits into my
00:05:00.620
disciplined mindset i execute and shit works that's all i know just most of the time i feel like not
00:05:06.740
doing it yeah and i do it anyway and that's the secret but y'all don't want to hear that shit
00:05:13.520
because you want to be pussies and you still want to make it and those two things don't go together
00:05:17.580
andy question number two for you a question with a little backstory question is andy how do you
00:05:23.500
determine when and how to reward your employees uh he says i believe like most that you don't reward
00:05:30.240
for things that they are supposed to do but when they do go above and beyond what's necessary
00:05:34.640
what are some easy ways to reward them give them money yeah give them recognition
00:05:42.320
you know most people enjoy both uh i prefer to work around people that don't give a fuck about
00:05:49.480
recognition and only care about winning um i don't care about recognition i don't fucking care i don't
00:05:55.380
care i want to win that credit shit yeah yeah now certain people are wired to in fact most people are
00:06:03.300
wired to earn recognition okay um there's a saying the saying is this uh people will work for money
00:06:12.480
but they'll die for recognition right yeah okay so if that should tell you something if you don't have
00:06:18.640
some sort of internal recognition program you probably need to have one it doesn't have to be
00:06:24.300
crazy shit uh but like you want to run down the list of how i recognize people i don't know buy them
00:06:30.180
i buy i bought and i don't know probably a dozen fucking cars for employees uh i've paid off
00:06:35.360
employees mortgages um i've given them awards like that little award that you got for two dollars
00:06:40.980
yeah okay yeah thank you the size of the listen the size of the recognition is not the bigger you get
00:06:47.480
the more cool shit you can do to recognize people right right all right but in the beginning you don't
00:06:52.280
have to do these big things to recognize people you could just recognize them and say hey dj's
00:06:58.040
doing a really good job i'd like to take a minute to recognize them but i don't recognize people i
00:07:03.240
agree with whoever wrote that for just showing the fuck up and doing what they're supposed to do
00:07:06.980
at my standard see my standard and our standard is much higher than what most people are required to
00:07:15.440
do at any other job on the planet so some sometimes people come here and they want to get rewarded
00:07:21.720
for the basic shit and they're disappointed when they're not well our standards are much higher here
00:07:28.040
okay so that shit works at starbucks not here yeah right yeah that's it so go work at fucking
00:07:34.100
starbucks that's what you're worried about yeah i mean recognition helps a lot uh i'm not very good
00:07:41.340
at recognizing people so i have to develop systems to recognize people i have to put that in other
00:07:44.760
people's hands because i don't care about recognition personally this is why i don't speak at every event
00:07:50.480
this is why i don't go to fucking i don't when when i win awards i rarely post about them i don't give a fuck
00:07:58.040
i'm trying to be the best ever until i'm the best ever i ain't fucking shit that's that that's how if
00:08:03.760
everybody had that attitude you win a lot more but you want your fucking trophy it's whatever man
00:08:10.760
recognize your employees acknowledge their hard work acknowledge them when they go above and beyond
00:08:16.300
take care of those people invest in those people pay those people well you know a lot of people want
00:08:20.860
all these fucking great employees they don't want to pay them shit you're not going to have great
00:08:27.380
people if you pay people shit they might come for a while they're going to leave
00:08:31.500
it's it's really simple what are they worth to you what are they worth to you how many headaches
00:08:38.960
do they keep from you how much initiative do they take how much problems do they solve on their own
00:08:43.220
without getting you involved and what's that worth it's usually worth a lot more than what people
00:08:46.580
you know are willing to admit yeah and and a lot of people who are making decisions about employee pay
00:08:53.920
will expect all these great things about from their employees and they want to pay them like
00:08:59.000
starbucks pays their fucking people right well you ain't going to get fucking first form level
00:09:03.360
motherfuckers by paying them fucking starbucks people that's just not how it works yeah so you got
00:09:08.580
to do both and and by the way just paying people more won't get more out of them yeah it won't push
00:09:15.040
them into complacency it doesn't does one of two things paying people more neither makes people
00:09:19.300
hungry or it makes people complacent and most people it makes complacent most people when they
00:09:24.600
get just enough money to be complacent they're complacent true savage winners like me you give
00:09:30.840
me more money i just want fucking i'm gonna go harder and harder and harder harder harder it's just
00:09:35.200
what it is i'm a fucking shark bro sharks eat that's what the fuck they're built for it's true
00:09:46.260
if you guys ain't built that way you shouldn't be in the game it's just the truth if you're built to
00:09:53.240
be like what we're about to go through in this country is a complete fucking revolution of and
00:09:58.800
a resorting of who the fuck is who you're gonna find out who the fuck the sharks are you're gonna
00:10:03.600
find out who the fucking minnows are you're gonna find out who the fucking bacteria is
00:10:07.360
so i'm confident i'm confident where i'm gonna end up but a lot of people have been riding this
00:10:14.680
fake wave of good times they've been happening in america for a long time this fake wave i'm an
00:10:19.980
entrepreneur because i can make some e-com ads and fucking make a little side money and shit
00:10:24.560
you're gonna see we're gonna see somebody i know has been trying to warn you all about it too so
00:10:32.020
create internal recognition programs uh recognize people every chance you get do it
00:10:39.340
publicly in front of their peers um when you criticize people do it behind closed doors make
00:10:43.580
sure they're paid well make sure they feel recognized make sure they feel valued but most
00:10:47.480
importantly make sure that their voices and ideas are heard you want good culture you want good
00:10:52.200
employees do those things if you don't do those things you're gonna suck it's a prerequisite it's
00:10:58.580
not a fucking that's not the extra that you do that's the basics you do for your culture if you don't do
00:11:04.260
those things i guarantee your company sucks so start doing them because it matters because you can
00:11:09.840
accomplish you personally no matter how good you are can't accomplish fucking anything if you don't
00:11:15.320
have the ability to get other people to row the boat with you and that notice i didn't say for you
00:11:20.440
right right i said fucking with you right because you should be rowing too dude most of the people
00:11:25.140
i've met in business i'm gonna be real honest and people are not gonna like this a lot of people
00:11:29.860
really aren't i don't care i've been in personal development for over a decade i've met a ton of
00:11:35.540
business owners i can count on both hands the real fucking sharks that i've met literally less than 10
00:11:46.260
out of the thousands and thousands and thousands so really think about that
00:11:52.960
most people ain't in it most people like to brag about business most people are playing business
00:11:59.860
most people think having their name on the building or their fucking office door
00:12:03.420
is business most people think driving a bmw 7 series is fucking business most people think having a cool
00:12:09.820
business card is business i don't even have a motherfucking business card motherfucker
00:12:12.480
like if you're not getting recognized it's probably a reason you're not you're not exceeding
00:12:17.700
the standard that fucking is set in your place or maybe you work for someone who doesn't value
00:12:22.360
culture or recognition for a long time i did it and guess what people left to go other places
00:12:27.400
good people left to go other places where they recognize people and guess what i learned
00:12:31.960
i learned that some people operate in that language and just because i don't operate in that language
00:12:36.800
doesn't mean it's not valid so i had to create an adjustment inside my company to better recognize
00:12:43.680
yeah you know what i'm saying like that was a hard thing for me to learn i probably lost
00:12:50.760
i don't know a couple hundred people over the course of my career because i didn't recognize
00:12:55.120
them when they probably deserve to be recognized yeah so then what do i do i get better at recognizing
00:12:59.380
people i learned a lot from ed my lead on that he's very good at that i'm very bad at that
00:13:03.480
you know why i'm very bad at that because i don't care i don't need do i need someone to tell
00:13:08.840
me i'm doing a good job do i need somebody to tell me shit i'm proud of you no no no i'm being
00:13:13.700
literally you're with me more than anybody other human do i need anybody to tell me a motherfucking
00:13:17.920
thing no do i need people to say hi to me do i need people to say hey how's your day no i don't
00:13:23.620
need shit fully self-sufficient that's right so i don't care if people recognize me i know i'm
00:13:29.200
fucking great because i know what i do every single day and that's the point if you want to
00:13:34.860
be great it's not about what other people think of you it's about what the fuck you think of you
00:13:39.540
which goes into 75 hard which goes into live hard episode 208 go listen to it do it live it
00:13:45.860
it'll change your fucking life you won't need shit from anybody you won't need a fucking
00:13:50.640
bullshit award for fucking anything ever again because you'll know what the fuck you're worth
00:13:56.260
andy our third and final question for you i think i think this question right here and i think a lot
00:14:00.020
of people need to hear this answer from me okay andy right now what are the three best habits you
00:14:05.340
believe are the most important to have right now look man if you're not a disciplined human
00:14:10.380
you're a worthless human okay you're floating around like the plastic bag like you ever seen that
00:14:17.060
movie uh what's that movie american something america beauty yeah okay and the fucking weirdo neighbor
00:14:23.460
who's like who fucking videos the plastic bag for the whole entire movie that's you that's you if
00:14:30.320
you don't have discipline you float around in the fucking wind and where you end up is where you end
00:14:33.820
up and you see people that try to uh you see people that try to uh you know pretend like they don't need
00:14:40.600
discipline and i'm just a flower in the wind and where i end up i'm discovering myself and look at
00:14:44.840
their lives their lives suck their lives fucking suck they pretend online that their lives are awesome
00:14:50.560
oh i'm on this great adventure of life of discovering my own blah blah blah blah blah no
00:14:55.040
you're not doing anything you're getting your ass beat and you're proud you're you're eating shit
00:14:59.000
pretending it's fucking ice cream and everybody sees it you're not fooling anybody you're only fooling
00:15:04.100
other motherfuckers that aren't willing to develop discipline yeah so discipline's number one uh the
00:15:09.300
second thing i would say is gratitude things could be a lot fucking worse okay and the third thing i would
00:15:14.800
say is uh um not being a bitch about doing the work you know a good work ethic a strong work ethic
00:15:21.640
i mean there's a ton of them dude uh i would say another one that's important to the world
00:15:27.480
if we're gonna add a fourth one is speaking the fucking truth speaking we wouldn't be here if
00:15:33.360
people hadn't self-censored themselves in the name of being offended for the last 20 years that we
00:15:38.880
wouldn't even be in this situation a lot of people have trouble connecting that entire fucking timeline
00:15:44.600
because they lack the perspective or they're only 20 years old political correctness is a fucking
00:15:50.120
weapon it's a weapon to create self-censoring behavior so you don't speak the truth and if you
00:15:55.720
don't speak the truth there's less resistance to what the fuckery is that's going on so i would say
00:16:00.880
discipline uh great fucking work ethic gratitude for how things are and knowing that things could be
00:16:08.660
way worse that might change soon uh and then speaking the truth the truth the fucking truth
00:16:15.700
not the bullshit truth not the politically correct truth the fucking truth those habits will fucking
00:16:22.000
get you places yeah you know people have this idea that like if they're in an organization that somehow
00:16:27.720
you know they get one of two things in their mind they get if i don't if i don't speak if i say what
00:16:33.320
they want me to say i'll get where i want to go or you get these other people who think they're
00:16:37.260
contrarians and they think they're smarter than everybody disagree with everything and they fucking
00:16:41.020
disagree with every fucking thing that you say thinking that makes them valuable no that makes
00:16:44.860
you annoying and it makes you want to kick you the fuck out of my company or out of my life or
00:16:49.020
whatever yeah right oh i'm not only telling you this because no one else will tell you this no
00:16:54.240
you're not bro you're telling me this because you think that telling me that anti this shows some sort
00:16:59.400
of courage or character in you which doesn't do either of those it makes you seem like a fucking
00:17:04.320
uneducated unexperienced with people moron yeah basically basically that's gonna get you real far
00:17:15.180
tell tell every fucking point that the people that run your shit and control your whole fucking future
00:17:20.560
and help you disagree with everything they fucking say no matter what makes you valuable stupid fuck
00:17:26.380
i'm just saying no it's the truth i can't stand those guys no it's you got to be the you got to
00:17:32.480
tell the truth but the truth is not not your highly manipulated version of the truth to produce this
00:17:39.840
result that you're trying to get the truth i think those habits are valuable those are the habits i
00:17:46.580
respect those are the habits that have gotten me where the fuck i am discipline i've got it i didn't
00:17:54.660
always have it i fucking built it okay it's an on-demand skill for me i turn a motherfucker on
00:18:00.560
it's fucking on there's no there's no ifs ands or buts about it hard work i've made it a habit to work
00:18:07.660
hard every motherfucking day um gratitude i'm very i'm very thankful for where i'm at because i used to
00:18:15.620
be somewhere a lot worse and i ain't going back and if i do go back i'll be the king of that shit again
00:18:20.900
okay the fucking truth you you you people who are so scared to speak the truth and then you wonder
00:18:30.100
why you're not making any money or why you lack courage dude because it takes it takes courage to
00:18:35.300
speak the truth and courage is a skill just like fucking just like discipline okay if you don't
00:18:41.840
practice courage you won't have no courage so you have to fucking build your courage by doing small
00:18:48.620
things just like we do with 75 hard and live hard to invest in our discipline but only with courage
00:18:55.180
which means having hard conversations saying things that you know to be true that you're scared to say
00:19:00.220
embracing those opportunities yeah it's an opportunity to invest in the skill of courage when you have the
00:19:07.140
opportunity to speak truth and courage by the way for those of you listening for your money-making
00:19:12.900
ventures which uh is important um without courage you will make no money just so you know when i said
00:19:20.380
those 10 people that i know all 10 of them have courage all of them well andy guys that is three
00:19:30.800
