In this episode, I talk about why it s so easy to sit around and do nothing, be nothing, become nothing, and criticize every single other person on the planet that s doing anything outside of that than it is to actually go out and build something.
00:00:00.000What is up guys, it's Andy Purcell and this is the show for the real and say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality.
00:00:25.160Guys, today I have a real talk, all right, and I'm just going to get right into it.
00:00:31.480You know, I look all over the internet and I see all these people, young people especially, trying to be successful, trying to go out and build something, become something, create something and everybody seems like they're super confused.
00:00:45.500And I want to give you guys a few points, four points, that I think will drastically improve the speed and the quality of your journey when it comes to becoming successful in whatever it is that you are.
00:00:59.520Now, most of the people I'm talking to out here, we talk in terms of entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship.
00:01:05.620But the reality is, is these principles apply to almost any area of life and it's something that you guys need to hear, all right?
00:01:12.040So here's the deal, the first thing you have to understand is that we live in a society where success is villainized, winning is villainized, becoming something greater than everybody else is villainized, all right?
00:01:29.820It is far easier for people to sit around and do nothing, be nothing, become nothing, and create nothing, and criticize every single other person on the planet that's doing anything outside of that than it is to actually go out and build it.
00:01:44.160It takes time to go out and build things.
00:02:20.320Poverty propaganda is this idea that you don't need any money, all right?
00:02:25.840And that it's somehow humble or noble to be less than what you could be, to give up on your dreams and just be a poor little me and stay right where you are and do nothing, create nothing, contribute to nothing, build nothing.
00:02:41.240And then you get to judge everybody else that's doing other things and say they're not humble.
00:02:45.440Well, that's not how it actually works because to be humble, you have to actually be good.
00:02:51.100Being humble because you haven't accomplished anything doesn't mean you're humble.
00:02:54.640It means you're making a justification for your lack of results, all right?
00:02:59.140So poverty propaganda is a big problem in culture right now.
00:03:08.000And when you understand what you are hearing and what you are looking at, it's much easier to ignore it and do the other thing, all right?
00:03:15.420A lot of you guys, you look at your friends, you look at the people that you're surrounded with and they're out doing all these things and they're telling you that they're going to, you know, go live their life in the mountains and they're going to tour the world and they're going to do all this shit.
00:03:28.700But here's the thing, guys, and that's okay to do those things.
00:03:31.800If that's what you really want, go do those things.
00:03:33.600But what I'm going to tell you here as an ambitious person is that if you buy into it at the expense of your actual, true, authentic self dreams and goals for what you actually want out of your life, you're going to regret it, all right?
00:03:47.360Which leads me to my next point, okay?
00:03:52.260You can have a hard life with a result or you can have a hard life without a result.
00:03:57.220But either way, life's going to be pretty hard, all right?
00:04:00.880You can choose right now to become the kind of person that is going to invest all of their time, all of their resources, all of their energy into becoming the person that lives the ideal vision that you have for your life.
00:04:15.540And it's going to be hard, really hard.
00:04:19.160You're going to have to make investments that other people your age and your position are not going to be making.
00:04:25.040And they're going to judge you and they're going to make fun of you and they're going to laugh at you.
00:04:29.000And you're going to have to keep going because if you don't, you'll never realize that version of yourself.
00:05:18.780So if you buy into the idea of the poverty propagandists, you're going to be in the ladder of those groups.
00:05:26.520You're going to be the person who has a great time now, who fucks their life away.
00:05:30.960And then in 20 years, bro, you're going to be making fucking double-decker tacos at Taco Bell on the midnight shift, wondering what the fuck happened to your life, and then blaming everybody else for it.
00:05:40.480No, you have the opportunity right now to change your life.
00:05:45.900Are you going to change it or are you not going to change it?
00:06:38.600So save yourself the time and energy and understand that if you're going to have someone help you, they better have fucking done what it is you're trying to do.
00:06:46.180But here's the thing about everything.
00:07:18.080Most people cannot push through the challenging, the draining, the frustrating times that make everybody else quit.
00:07:24.440And every time you push through one of these barriers, you're leaving all of your competition behind and you're moving forward without that.
00:07:34.540So you have to build yourself into someone who has the discipline, the fortitude, the grit, the perseverance to push through the hard times, to become someone who is literally fucking incapable of quitting.
00:09:00.380And every time you come up to a situation like that, based upon your previous experience, you're able to make better decisions than the people you're competing with who haven't been doing it as long.
00:09:10.840So this is a tremendous practical advantage that you have over everybody else if you don't quit.
00:09:16.520So not quitting and being able to learn from your mistakes and apply the skill set to the next situation that comes down the pipe is what success is all about.
00:09:57.520If you do not learn how to think, you cannot play the game of success because there are too many people that know how to think playing the game of success.
00:10:06.100And you can't copy either because if you copy, you're unoriginal.
00:10:11.240If you're unoriginal, nobody gives a fuck.
00:10:17.160If you're copying someone else, all you're going to be at the maximum level is a watered-down version of something that is already recognized as the best.
00:10:27.640So you have to figure out who you are, what you stand for, and you have to have enough courage to live that in real life.
00:10:36.980The reason no one cares what you say is because you never speak on anything that you actually care about.
00:10:46.340Most of your problems with your brand have to do with you analyzing everybody else's brand and then trying to be like someone else.
00:10:54.400And what you're failing to realize, because you don't have the experience of understanding this, is that what you're seeing in someone else's company or brand or persona is actually the result of decisions that were made two, three, four years ago that have come to materialize themselves into what you see today.
00:11:14.980So if that's the case, and you're looking at the result of ideas that are three or four years old, if you copy, you are automatically three or four years behind at every given point.
00:11:26.940And the only way to defeat that is to learn to think for yourself, to become authentic, to stand for what you believe, to speak for the things that you care about, and be original.
00:11:38.460This is the secret sauce that most of you can't grasp.
00:11:41.600We have far too many people chasing relevance for the sake of relevance.
00:11:47.540Chasing relevance for the sake of relevance is a guaranteed way to be irrelevant.
