00:00:31.580
with you guys um you know it's that time of year it's that time of year when everybody's talking
00:00:37.760
about what they're going to do next year and what they're going to become and what they're going to
00:00:41.760
achieve and how they're going to change and how they're going to do all these things that they
00:00:45.980
have failed at doing many previous years before this year and what makes you think that next year
00:00:55.520
is going to be any different what makes you think that when january 1st rolls around that all of a
00:01:01.960
sudden you're going to change everything about yourself and become this brand new version of
00:01:06.740
yourself haven't you told yourself this before haven't you told yourself this over and over and
00:01:13.980
over again how many mondays have you told yourself that you were going to start how many years have
00:01:20.940
you made the same resolutions that you failed to keep how many times have you had the conversation
00:01:26.380
when you say it's for real this time this time i mean it no seriously i mean it we're doing it this
00:01:32.160
time how many times have you told yourself that my guess is a lot and when you go look at yourself in
00:01:38.980
the mirror or you look at your life or you look at your bank account or you look at everything in
00:01:44.480
your life that you wish was different and you ask yourself why aren't things different i would like
00:01:51.600
to provide that answer to you today you have to understand that if you are to make a change in your
00:01:59.580
life you have to develop a very specific skill set and that is the skill set of discipline the ability
00:02:09.060
to adhere to a plan your problem is not that you don't know what to do that is nobody's problem
00:02:15.720
it's nobody's nobody with the amount of information that we have available to us is sitting around
00:02:22.700
wondering what the fuck they need to do you all understand that there is no secret you know what to do
00:02:32.280
to fix your body you know what to do to fix your relationships you know what to do to make more
00:02:39.200
money the problem is is that you're not able to do it and why can't you do it because for years and
00:02:48.800
years and years you have told yourself the same lie over and over and over again which is this
00:02:54.600
i lack the skills they have something that i don't have they were born with these traits that i
00:03:02.220
don't have that person just has it and i don't have it success comes easier for them none of which
00:03:09.900
are true the truth of the matter is this you've made some misjudgments and miscalculations or had
00:03:17.960
the misfortune of being told the wrong information and the correct information is all of these things
00:03:24.580
that you admire about other people their ability to stick to a plan their ability to follow through
00:03:30.380
their ability to build and create and become all of these things are within your ability as well
00:03:37.380
but it requires you intentionally developing those skill sets see i was like you guys for most of my
00:03:44.980
life for most of my life i looked around at everybody else and i thought why is it so easy for him
00:03:52.780
why can he show up and do all of these things and go out and win and why does it look so effortless when
00:03:59.980
i can't even get through a single fucking week without cheating on my diet or falling off my program
00:04:06.200
or going back to my old habits why can they do it and i can't they must have been born with this thing
00:04:12.180
they must have been gifted with a gift that i didn't receive and i lived a lot of my life that way
00:04:19.440
and it was frustrating and it made me bitter and it made me angry
00:04:24.300
but i met someone a number of years ago named james lawrence you guys might know him as the iron cowboy
00:04:35.260
when i met him he said something to me that made this click the key to winning the key to development
00:04:45.320
the key to progress is intentionally putting yourself in uncomfortable situations intentionally
00:04:51.580
putting yourself in uncomfortable and difficult situations why would you do that why would you
00:05:00.820
intentionally make things harder why would you intentionally make things more difficult because
00:05:07.180
when you make things more difficult intentionally you get the opportunity to gain the skill set that
00:05:14.980
is produced from the endurance through the difficult times and so i want you to realize
00:05:21.960
that as you make all these plans and as you make all these goals and as you say you're going to do this
00:05:28.740
and that and all these amazing things i want you to understand a couple things number one yes
00:05:36.120
it is possible you can do all those things you can become all those things your potential is actually
00:05:44.100
limitless but number two unless you develop the skill set of mental toughness unless you develop the
00:05:51.740
ability to adhere unless you develop the skill of discipline fortitude grit belief perseverance confidence
00:06:01.180
you will never do any of those things ever and you guys all know and you've heard of 75 hard and the live
00:06:13.080
hard program and this january 1st a little more than a week away from today there is a massive group of
00:06:21.700
people that are going to commit to changing this skill set within themselves and i am one of those people
00:06:30.740
and i hope that you will be as well because the reality is is that our dreams our desires our goals our
00:06:40.360
purpose our destiny is on the other side of the skill set of discipline and if we can develop the
00:06:48.000
discipline to adhere to a program to see things through when we can identify that the actual problem
00:06:55.160
that we all have is not that we don't know what to do but we lack the ability to actually do it now we're in
00:07:03.240
a position to actually go out and win we have identified the source problem we have identified the crack in
00:07:09.760
the foundation and we understand what we need to develop which brings me to my announcement
00:07:16.780
you guys know that i develop 75 hard and live hard and i've given it away for free i wrote a book it's on
00:07:25.880
my website called 75 hard a lot of you guys have read it but i've written another book and the book
00:07:35.640
is called the book on mental toughness and this is the book right here holding it in my hands
00:07:45.000
this is the book that includes the entire 75 hard program the entire live hard program
00:07:53.120
and a shit ton of case studies and information as to what mental toughness is and why you need it
00:08:02.720
and why it is the key to unlocking your true potential in your life and this book
00:08:10.820
is on pre-sale today you can go to my website andy for seller.com and you can order this book
00:08:19.500
you don't have to order it the program is still free you can get the program for free at episode 208
00:08:26.920
that's on the audio feed only that's not on youtube it was on audio only
00:08:34.860
now the reason i wrote this book is because i understand very clearly that the biggest thing
00:08:44.300
that we are all missing in our pursuit of excellence in the pursuit of our dreams
00:08:47.980
in the pursuit of our true destiny as human beings is the ability to adhere to the plans that we set out
00:08:54.440
for ourselves and like you i spent a lot of my life bitter and frustrated and angry that i did not
00:09:01.720
naturally have those skills some people do have those skills a little more naturally than others
00:09:06.600
but the reality is is that all the people that you witness all the people that you look at all the
00:09:12.220
people that you wish you were like have the skill of mental toughness and discipline they are able to
00:09:17.760
execute when they don't feel like it they are able to do the things they need to do when it is the last
00:09:23.540
thing that they want to do this is the magic you are missing this is the skill you are missing
00:09:29.700
this is the power you are missing and once you develop it you become unstoppable and it's my hope
00:09:37.100
that whether you buy the book or not that you will understand that the key to your entire
00:09:45.960
fucking existence and becoming who it is that you want to become is going to come down to your
00:09:53.240
commitment to become a mentally harder more disciplined individual i want that for you
00:10:00.520
i want that for all of you and whether you buy this book or not the information is still free
00:10:06.760
you can get most of the information in episode 208 on the audio feed or a lot of the other podcasts
00:10:14.080

00:10:18.600
we put it in this book that you can buy on my website right now you can pre-order it right now
00:10:23.820

00:10:28.740
this book i believe this is a book that you will not just use once but you will go back to over and
00:10:34.780
over and over again over the course of your life to help guide you and sharpen your blade so that you
00:10:40.760
can stay on top of your mental game and continue to execute and continue to win this is why i'm here
00:10:47.620
this is what i'm here to do and my hope is that you'll do your part when you guys think about what
00:10:56.680
it is that creates greatness and when you think about all the things that you wish you could be
00:11:02.040
and wish you were and wish you could become you have to understand that that requires effort from you
00:11:09.860
that requires you doing things intentionally that are going to make you uncomfortable that are going
00:11:17.040
to help develop skills that skills that you can then apply to any plan that you move forward one of
00:11:24.680
the things that you need to understand is that the live hard program 75 hard program is not the end
00:11:32.000
this is the beginning this is the boot camp this is the skill development program and you are to use
00:11:39.460
these skills on a different plan a lot of people think just doing this over and over and over again
00:11:46.260
is going to somehow get you there no it won't you are to take what you learn here and you are to apply
00:11:53.240
it to a life plan that you have thought out that you are committed to that you are dedicated to and this
00:12:00.100
program will give you the skills to follow that plan whatever that plan may be it doesn't have to be
00:12:06.100
the same path everybody walks it doesn't have to be the same journey that everybody goes on but no matter what
00:12:13.460
you pick for your journey no matter what you pick for your plan or your path for life you are going to
00:12:19.840
need to follow the plan and your ability to follow that plan or not follow that plan will determine your
00:12:27.340
outcome so remember no matter what your goals are no matter what your outcome is that you desire
00:12:35.020
if you cannot adhere and follow a plan day in and day out day in and day out day in and day out and
00:12:52.720
past the time that it is fun past the time that you have excitement past the time that it is easy and
00:13:01.400
you have momentum if you can't continue on that path past those times you can't do anything in life
00:13:11.580
so guys when you set out at the beginning of this year make it your mission to sharpen those skills
00:13:21.920
make it your mission to become more disciplined make it your mission to become more mentally hardened
00:13:27.780
make it your mission to become someone who exemplifies what discipline actually is and what it looks like
00:13:35.880
and what it can build and what it can become because the reality is is the world is starving for examples of
00:13:42.820
excellence and it is our duty as individuals to be that example to be that light for the people that are coming
00:13:51.160
behind us and a lot of us are failing that and i say us because whether we win or lose is going to come
00:14:01.840
this burden cannot be put on just certain people
00:14:07.560
this burden has to be carried by the collective
00:14:14.740
it is the way that we are going to fix what's going on in the world
00:14:18.460
it is the way that we are going to fix what's going on in our household
00:14:28.320
we must take that obligation and that duty seriously
00:14:40.200
if you make one promise to yourself this year make it this
00:14:44.480
that you are going to solve the fundamental problem
00:14:48.460
that has kept you in this place of dissatisfaction for so long
00:14:55.380
and the core issue is that you lack the ability
00:14:59.180
to do things when you don't feel like doing them
00:15:05.080
and what i've given you for free in episode 208
00:15:24.540
and maybe buy a couple copies for people that you think
