00:00:00.000 What is up guys, it's Andy Fursella and this is the show for the realist's sake of biting 0.98
00:00:20.420 the lies and fitness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality. 0.96
00:00:24.120 Guys, today we have Q and AF. This is where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. 0.96
00:00:30.120 Now you can submit your questions to be answered on this show a few different ways.
00:00:34.060 The first way is, guys, you can email those questions in to askandy at andyfursella.com
00:00:39.580 or you can go on YouTube in the comment section on Q and AF episodes and put your question in there.
00:00:45.920 We'll pick some from there as well. Other times you tune in throughout the week, you're going to hear CTI.
00:00:50.420 That stands for Cruise the Internet. So we put topics on the screen. We talk about what's going on in the world.
00:00:55.840 We speculate on what's true and what's not true. And then we talk about what the solution is
00:01:00.160 and what we, the people, have to do to make that solution materialize.
00:01:04.320 Sometimes we have real talk. Real talk is just five to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talks
00:01:08.100 and things that I think you need to hear. Then we have 75 hard verses.
00:01:13.660 75 hard verses were people who have completed the 75 hard program,
00:01:17.020 which is the world's largest mental transformation program. 0.99
00:01:22.940 They come on, they talk about how their life was before, usually a shit show, 1.00
00:01:26.880 how their life is now, no longer a shit show, 0.98
00:01:29.580 and how you can do the same in your life using the 75 hard program.
00:01:32.920 If you're unfamiliar with the 75 hard program, it is the initial phase of the live hard program,
00:01:38.140 which you can get the entire program for free at episode 208 on the audio feed only.
00:01:43.420 It's not on YouTube.
00:01:44.080 There is a book called the book on mental toughness on my website.
00:01:48.000 You can buy, which will detail the entire program as well.
00:01:51.900 Plus a whole bunch of other chapters on mental toughness, what it is, how to develop it,
00:01:56.540 why it's important, and how it'll change your life.
00:01:59.120 So you can get the book on my website, andyfrusella.com.
00:02:03.720 And other than that, you can also get the program for free at episode 208 on the audio feed.
00:02:08.300 So we have this thing on the show.
00:02:10.200 We say pay the fee.
00:02:11.320 What that means is we need you to share the show, all right?
00:02:15.020 We talk about things on the show that usually get us throttled.
00:02:18.680 They get us traffic banned or censored or whatever, man.
00:02:22.600 All kinds of stuff.
00:02:23.640 They really hate us on the internet.
00:02:26.060 And so I need you guys to help us get the message out.
00:02:28.200 So if you're a regular listener of the show, I ask you very simply that if you get value out of a single episode,
00:02:33.880 please share that episode.
00:02:35.440 Please share it with one friend.
00:02:36.740 And if you brought me one friend for every time you listen to the show, the message that you enjoy,
00:02:41.200 that you believe is important, would be out there.
00:02:43.740 So that's what I ask of you guys.
00:02:45.300 And I ask that because I don't fill the trade.
00:02:48.180 I'm making a trade, okay?
00:02:49.360 This is a deal, all right?
00:02:51.080 The deal is I pass on spending 30 minutes talking about ads on the show,
00:02:56.720 which would be $10-plus million for me a year.
00:02:59.800 It would be eight figures a year for me in income. 1.00
00:03:01.840 And I fund the show myself so that you don't have to deal with that shit. 0.99
00:03:06.020 And it can actually say what I actually want to say and not have to abide by these companies' policies. 0.97
00:03:12.120 And in exchange, I ask that you share the show out for us.
00:03:14.760 I think that's a fair trade.
00:03:15.920 So I just ask that you share the show and help us get it out there.
00:03:18.900 So don't be a hoe. 1.00
00:03:20.120 Share the show.
00:03:20.920 All right.
00:03:21.440 What's up?
00:03:22.860 DMV today, huh?
00:03:23.760 Yeah, man.
00:03:24.520 How was that?
00:03:25.560 You know, I mean, you know, it's the DMV.
00:03:27.460 I don't, you know, I've never understood, like, you know, I remember watching all the shows
00:03:31.900 and they always had this, like, stigma on the DMV.
00:03:34.340 I just don't understand why it exists.
00:03:37.480 The stigma?
00:03:38.420 Yeah, like, of, like, just this.
00:03:39.600 Or why it's actually like that.
00:03:40.700 Like, why is it actually like that?
00:03:42.240 Like, it doesn't have to be, you know?
00:03:45.480 Well, that's what you get when you provide no incentive for people to process and do their jobs at a timely manner.
00:03:52.600 You know, if that was an actual privatized business, it would run completely different.
00:03:57.700 You know, like, if it was, if people were incentivized to process the amount of, like, let's say every single, you know, license, every single permit, every single thing they did, they got $3 for, $5 for. 0.96
00:04:11.460 How quick do you think they would get shit done? 0.96
00:04:13.060 Oh, yeah. 0.99
00:04:13.640 Right?
00:04:13.920 They don't move in there.
00:04:15.000 Bro, we got sense. 1.00
00:04:15.560 We got, we had to go, like, you come in, you get your shit. 1.00
00:04:17.880 Oh, well, you forgot this. 1.00
00:04:18.760 You got to get this.
00:04:19.320 Yeah.
00:04:19.620 Then you come back.
00:04:20.420 Oh, well, you got to do this thing, too.
00:04:21.540 Yeah.
00:04:21.720 Yeah. 0.99
00:04:22.000 Like, they make it such a fucking miserable process, man. 0.98
00:04:25.680 Every once in a while, you'll go in there and you'll get someone who's extremely helpful. 0.98
00:04:29.360 Yeah.
00:04:31.200 But it's not the norm.
00:04:32.840 Man, I just don't get it.
00:04:34.300 I do.
00:04:35.320 I mean, I get it, but I don't, I just don't get it.
00:04:37.440 I mean, what do the people that typically work in these places look like? 0.98
00:04:41.900 They look like they don't give a fuck about anything. 0.91
00:04:44.900 And they have found their way into a job that allows them to be themselves. 0.99
00:04:49.040 They come to work.
00:04:49.980 They're unkempt.
00:04:50.600 They're 300 pounds overweight. 1.00
00:04:53.000 They don't give a shit about anything, bro. 0.99
00:04:54.400 So, what do you think that they give about your license? 0.99
00:04:56.460 That's true.
00:04:56.960 They don't care.
00:04:57.580 I think, too.
00:04:58.060 I think a little bit of that, too, though, man.
00:04:58.900 This is the problem in the world.
00:05:00.260 Yeah, 100%.
00:05:01.160 But I think another little piece of that, too, bro, is, like, anytime there's, like, there's
00:05:05.940 positions of authority like that.
00:05:07.920 Yeah.
00:05:08.120 Yeah, they love to flex it. 0.97
00:05:09.060 They flex the shit out of it. 0.97
00:05:10.480 Yeah, because that's the only time someone like that has that authority. 0.97
00:05:14.700 Yeah, man.
00:05:15.700 People that have real authority don't flex it like that.
00:05:18.060 No.
00:05:18.780 Because, but dude, you got to remember, these people don't and haven't done anything in
00:05:23.500 their lives.
00:05:24.420 And this is their job.
00:05:25.640 They don't take it serious. 1.00
00:05:26.720 They don't give a fuck. 1.00
00:05:27.560 And they treat people like shit because they can, because there's nothing you can do about 1.00
00:05:30.540 it. 0.98
00:05:31.440 So, and I appreciate the good ones that are out there.
00:05:34.480 Every once in a while, I'll get in there.
00:05:35.880 And there's some people that really care.
00:05:37.380 And they don't want you to run around.
00:05:38.580 They value your time.
00:05:39.520 And they treat you with respect.
00:05:40.440 But it is the minority in that area. 0.99
00:05:42.700 So, the reason those stereotypes exist is because it's fucking true. 0.98
00:05:46.400 That's true. 0.99
00:05:47.780 That's the reason.
00:05:48.540 I'm sure we got one person that works at a DMV that's listening.
00:05:50.960 Yeah, well, do a better job. 0.99
00:05:52.100 You better be the fucking best one out there. 1.00
00:05:53.560 Yeah, no shit. 1.00
00:05:54.340 And not only that, on top of that, um... 0.99
00:05:57.560 There's a reason all stereotypes exist. 0.99
00:06:00.240 It's not because they're bullshit. 0.98
00:06:02.840 So, let's just say that right now. 0.99
00:06:04.560 A decent amount of truth in there.
00:06:05.780 Yes.
00:06:06.100 Yeah, that's real.
00:06:06.500 That's why they exist. 1.00
00:06:07.460 That's real shit. 0.99
00:06:08.460 You cannot have a stereotype exist that doesn't have a large amount of truth to it. 1.00
00:06:14.260 Otherwise, it would be a joke.
00:06:16.440 Right.
00:06:16.980 It would be Goosebumps myths.
00:06:18.160 You know what I'm saying?
00:06:18.920 Yeah.
00:06:20.920 Like, it wouldn't make sense to people.
00:06:23.300 It would be...
00:06:23.720 It would go right...
00:06:24.280 What do you mean?
00:06:25.080 Yeah.
00:06:25.620 What do you mean?
00:06:26.320 Yeah, the government's corrupt.
00:06:27.300 Yeah.
00:06:27.860 Right.
00:06:29.040 Yeah.
00:06:31.800 Oh, man.
00:06:32.460 Well, guys, let's get into it, man.
00:06:33.760 Andy, I got some good ones for you.
00:06:37.180 That's what you're supposed to say.
00:06:38.080 I'm just thinking.
00:06:38.800 I'm thinking of a stereotype that doesn't have truth.
00:06:40.940 There's not one.
00:06:41.900 Yeah.
00:06:42.920 You know, that's the...
00:06:44.000 You know, these people, they want to fight all these stereotypes and social justice.
00:06:47.360 It's like...
00:06:49.680 There's a reason that these things exist.
00:06:52.880 It's because they're true.
00:06:54.800 Yeah. 1.00
00:06:55.740 It's real shit, man. 1.00
00:06:57.760 Guys, let's get into this, man. 0.99
00:06:59.000 Guys, Andy, question number one.
00:07:01.880 Andy, your podcast has changed my life.
00:07:04.400 And I just got your new book and I blew through it in one week because I couldn't put it down.
00:07:09.420 Yeah.
00:07:09.940 I have one question, though.
00:07:11.880 Confidence.
00:07:12.280 How do I find it within myself if I feel like it's just not in me, period?
00:07:18.560 I act like I have it and never show lack of it.
00:07:22.020 But deep down, the truth is I feel like I have no idea what it really is.
00:07:26.320 I'm a small business owner.
00:07:27.740 I provide and do well for my family.
00:07:29.520 I have a great five-star rating on Google and Yelp.
00:07:32.060 But, man, I feel a huge void when it comes to never feeling like I deserve anything I have or good that ever comes. 0.86
00:07:40.120 And it happens and it's hella fucking frustrating and depressing.
00:07:43.880 Can we just take a dive in confidence here? 0.92
00:07:46.480 Yeah.
00:07:48.620 There's a lot to unpack here.
00:07:50.480 Number one, you're a driven human being.
00:07:52.120 And if you're a driven human being who is wired for success and ambition and growth and change, you are always going to feel like you're not where you're supposed to be.
00:08:02.700 You're always going to feel like you should have done more.
00:08:04.620 You could have done more.
00:08:05.800 You could have been better.
00:08:06.940 You should be further along.
00:08:08.260 I'm behind.
00:08:09.240 These are common feelings with anyone who is working to achieve anything.
00:08:14.840 Any champion that is out there at the top of their game, if you crack their head open and you looked in there, their brain is not filled with all of these, what the average person would think, all of these headlines about how great they are.
00:08:30.420 It is filled with insecurity, doubt, things that motivate them, things that people have said to them, chips on their shoulder, slights, disrespect, things that make them feel less than,
00:08:44.460 which is why, in reality, they push harder to develop a bigger, better game, whatever that game they're playing is.
00:08:53.040 So you happen to be someone, because you are an entrepreneur, someone who is driven.
00:08:59.240 You are building something.
00:09:00.380 You are creating something.
00:09:01.900 And I would bet that if you were sitting right in front of me right now and I asked you if you feel behind, you would say yes.
00:09:08.080 And that's because everybody feels like they're behind when they're in that game.
00:09:12.860 So you have to understand that is the way you're wired.
00:09:16.080 That is how it is.
00:09:17.420 Everybody else feels the same way. 0.99
00:09:19.200 And if they're out there and they're boisterous and they're cocky and they're talking all this shit, it's usually a cover for their own insecurity. 0.99
00:09:26.540 Okay. 0.99
00:09:26.780 So that's number one.
00:09:29.400 Number two, you're going to never feel confidence until you start keeping the promises that you make to yourself on a regular basis.
00:09:38.400 And these are the small promises and the big promises.
00:09:41.120 If you constantly had a friend who came to you and told you they were going to get in shape, they were going to get their money together, they were going to get their life together. 0.99
00:09:50.900 And they told you that over and over and over again, but then every single time you saw them in public, two hours, three hours later, they're drinking beer, they're eating shit, they're doing all this bullshit. 0.93
00:10:02.860 Every single time you task them with something to do, they fail at it. 0.99
00:10:07.540 They fail to accomplish that task.
00:10:10.100 How much confidence are you going to have in that friend?
00:10:13.340 Zero. 1.00
00:10:13.960 You're going to know that everything that that friend tells you is going to be bullshit. 1.00
00:10:19.460 All right. 0.99
00:10:19.800 And that friend is you.
00:10:21.740 That friend exists inside of you.
00:10:23.820 So when you tell yourself you're going to do all these things, I'm going to get in shape.
00:10:28.180 I'm going to get my money right.
00:10:29.640 I'm going to get my business going.
00:10:31.120 I'm going to take care of my career.
00:10:32.700 I'm going to be better with my family.
00:10:34.320 I'm going to do this and this and this and this and this.
00:10:36.420 And you fail to do those things on a daily basis.
00:10:40.380 You are losing confidence in yourself bit by bit by bit by bit.
00:10:44.800 It's like a bank account.
00:10:46.380 You are either putting a deposit in or you are making a withdrawal out.
00:10:50.560 And every single time that you do not keep the promises that you make to yourself, you are making withdrawals, which means your confidence level will always be low.
00:10:59.500 So that's the second part to this.
00:11:01.240 So what you need to work on here, brother, is one, you need to recognize that driven people always feel behind and they're always going to have doubt.
00:11:09.000 They're always going to have chips on their shoulder.
00:11:10.840 That's what makes us fucking great at what we do when we become great. 0.81
00:11:15.120 It's not the affirmations. 0.99
00:11:17.580 It's not the feel good bullshit. 1.00
00:11:20.420 It's the fucking dark shit. 1.00
00:11:22.500 It's the people that told us we were losers. 1.00
00:11:25.000 It's the people that told us we were pieces of shit. 1.00
00:11:27.660 It's all that stuff. 1.00
00:11:28.880 And anybody who tells you different, they haven't achieved anything.
00:11:32.860 Look at what they've achieved.
00:11:34.100 Value them on that.
00:11:35.560 It's probably a bunch of smoke and mirrors. 1.00
00:11:37.800 Real motherfuckers remember all the dark shit. 1.00
00:11:40.080 They take the dark shit and they put it into productive action to build the life that they want. 1.00
00:11:45.580 And because that's the way that most of these people operate, they always end up feeling behind. 0.99
00:11:50.820 They always end up feeling like it wasn't good enough. 0.97
00:11:53.480 I bet if you go talk to Michael Jordan, who's the greatest fucking basketball player ever to play the game, 0.99
00:11:59.860 and you had a real conversation with him, real, no cameras, no fucking people around, 0.98
00:12:05.720 and you said, what do you think about your career? 0.98
00:12:07.640 You know what he's going to say?
00:12:08.560 I could have done way better.
00:12:09.820 I could have done this.
00:12:10.640 I could have done that.
00:12:11.320 I could have done this.
00:12:12.040 I could have done that.
00:12:12.880 I wish I would have done that.
00:12:14.000 I missed this shot.
00:12:15.100 I did this wrong. 1.00
00:12:16.200 And he's going to talk about all those things because that's what fucking champions focus on. 0.99
00:12:20.200 They focus on the shit, all the things that are wrong, and then they fix all those things, 1.00
00:12:24.540 which ends up making them great. 0.99
00:12:26.260 So you're wired this way.
00:12:28.100 Otherwise, you wouldn't be out trying to build your own business and start your own thing.
00:12:31.720 So you have to remember that, and you have to remember that confidence is built.
00:12:36.060 It is a bank account.
00:12:37.000 You make deposits or withdrawals.
00:12:39.080 And most people only make withdrawals and then try to cover for all their withdrawals
00:12:43.360 with a bunch of false bravado that is very easy to pick up if you know what you're looking
00:12:49.180 for, all right?
00:12:50.240 So if you want confidence, you've got to build confidence.
00:12:53.460 That's what the Live Hard program is truly all about.
00:12:56.220 It's about building an actual stack of evidence that says you are who you say you are. 0.97
00:13:02.520 And when you can look at the stack of evidence and say, I am who the fuck I say I am, and 0.99
00:13:07.360 you can remind yourself when you have all this doubt, and you have all this dark shit, and 0.99
00:13:11.540 you have all this drive that makes you feel behind, but you can stop and you can say, 0.96
00:13:15.840 wait a minute, I've done this, I've done this, I've done this, I've done this, I've done this,
00:13:19.720 I did this thing, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, and have a conscious reminder of who
00:13:24.540 you are, you can X out all those feelings at any time you want.
00:13:28.820 When I start, because I'm a very driven, competitive human, when I start to feel myself get down
00:13:34.360 on myself, and I stop myself and I say, hey, wait a minute, bro, you started a business 0.87
00:13:39.480 with 12 grand 25 years ago that now employs thousands of fucking people, okay? 0.97
00:13:45.300 Now you have a thing, you know, I go through a list of all the shit that I've done, and all 0.98
00:13:49.460 the good that's come of that, and then I'm like, wait a minute, I'm the fucking man, what 0.99
00:13:53.480 the fuck am I talking about, right? 0.99
00:13:55.200 And now all of a sudden, that shit goes away, and then I have access to it when I need it, 1.00
00:13:59.620 not when it shouldn't be there. 0.99
00:14:01.320 You see what I'm saying?
00:14:02.200 It makes perfect sense now. 0.99
00:14:03.620 Yeah, because look, dude, you want to have the dark shit because it's useful, but you 0.99
00:14:09.040 don't want it at the forefront of your mind all the time because it'll drive you crazy. 0.99
00:14:12.560 Right. 0.99
00:14:13.000 So you need this shit, and you need to remember, like, dude, there's times when I get lazy, 1.00
00:14:18.720 and I'm like, wait a minute, there's a bunch of young motherfuckers trying to take my shit, 1.00
00:14:22.000 they think they're better than me. 1.00
00:14:22.980 You know what? 1.00
00:14:23.560 Fuck them. 1.00
00:14:24.240 Right. 1.00
00:14:24.620 That's, you know what I'm saying?
00:14:25.760 Right back on the ground.
00:14:26.220 Yeah.
00:14:26.720 Yeah. 0.99
00:14:26.980 So this is real shit, and by the way, that's no disrespect because I'm friends with all 0.99
00:14:31.400 my competitors. 0.99
00:14:31.940 I actually value and respect and love them because their wins motivate me to keep going. 0.95
00:14:38.460 Otherwise, if no one's chasing me, where the fuck am I going to go?
00:14:41.540 I have to chase or be chased, and that is the truth for all winners, bro. 1.00
00:14:46.000 The minute that you have nobody to chase and the minute nobody's chasing you, you're dead.
00:14:50.480 It's over.
00:14:51.440 So that's my take on this, bro.
00:14:53.540 You've got to make deposits.
00:14:55.080 You've got to be aware of how you're wired. 0.99
00:14:56.940 When you get too dark, you've got to remind yourself of the shit that you're doing.
00:15:00.180 That's why doing the power list and seeing your progress is so valuable. 0.96
00:15:05.040 Going back and saying, wait, for the last 180 days, I have four losses.
00:15:10.360 No one else has four losses, right?
00:15:12.460 Now, all of a sudden, you don't feel so bad.
00:15:14.040 You're like, wait, I'm moving the needle even if it can't be seen out there, which helps
00:15:17.540 you feel better.
00:15:18.320 So there's a lot to this.
00:15:20.500 There's a lot of nuance to this, but that's the general answer.
00:15:23.020 Yeah.
00:15:23.280 I mean, when I was initially reading this question, it's like, I'm like, okay, well, what does
00:15:26.860 confidence have to do with this?
00:15:28.280 But I see they work in tandem almost.
00:15:30.380 Like you need the dark energy, but the confidence, having that confidence that you've done helps.
00:15:35.520 Yeah.
00:15:35.700 Dark energy is absolutely necessary. 0.98
00:15:39.000 Right.
00:15:39.680 I don't care who you are.
00:15:40.880 I don't care what you've accomplished, how many trees you hugged, bro, real people who
00:15:45.960 have built real things in real life have a dark side. 0.99
00:15:48.940 Fucking all of them. 0.99
00:15:50.580 Okay. 1.00
00:15:50.840 Tim Grover writes about this in his books.
00:15:52.720 Yeah.
00:15:54.120 People who are great have positive motivation.
00:15:57.760 I want to become this.
00:15:58.980 I want to build this.
00:16:00.160 I want to do this.
00:16:01.280 I want to create this.
00:16:02.420 I want to do it for these reasons because it's going to cause these things to happen.
00:16:06.200 And these reasons have to be outside of self to be big enough to get everybody else to
00:16:11.420 help you do it.
00:16:12.680 Okay.
00:16:13.100 And it has to be real.
00:16:14.120 If it's not real, people won't buy in and do it with you.
00:16:17.720 And then you also have to have the other side, which is all the people that told you you were
00:16:21.980 a loser, all the people that told you to get a real job, all the people that told you you 0.99
00:16:25.320 weren't going to be shit, all the people that laughed at you and said, oh, you need to be 1.00
00:16:29.220 more humble. 0.99
00:16:29.840 You need to remember where you came from.
00:16:31.100 People, people like you don't do things like that from here. 0.99
00:16:33.940 You know, all this bullshit that we all hear, all the people that laughed at us, all the 0.99
00:16:37.940 smart ass comments on Instagram, you put those over there on the negative. 0.99
00:16:42.360 Okay. 0.67
00:16:42.760 And you use both real winners use both.
00:16:45.740 They don't just use one.
00:16:47.000 They don't just do affirmations and feel all good. 1.00
00:16:49.440 There's a reason why those people get their fucking asses beat because they're only drawing 0.99
00:16:55.300 on 50% of the available energy to drive you forward. 1.00
00:16:59.380 They want to be virtuous and they want to say, oh, you know what?
00:17:02.860 I hope everybody wins. 1.00
00:17:04.920 Well, guess what, motherfucker? 0.99
00:17:06.540 There's only one spot on the podium that says number one. 1.00
00:17:10.220 That's reality.
00:17:11.300 So you can want and wish and desire things to be different, but there is still reality
00:17:17.300 to deal with.
00:17:17.940 And the reality that you and I and everybody else has to deal with is that we are in a
00:17:21.980 real competition. 1.00
00:17:23.060 It is real shit. 0.99
00:17:24.440 There is only so much space for what you want to do, where you want to do it. 0.99
00:17:29.240 And so to do that, you have to be great.
00:17:31.020 And to get great, you have to use both sides of the energy equation, which are positive
00:17:35.300 and negative. 1.00
00:17:36.200 And you fuckers that think you're too virtuous to use a negative, you're going to get fucking 1.00
00:17:40.160 crushed by people who can use both. 1.00
00:17:42.820 So it's the truth. 0.99
00:17:44.580 It's been that way for fucking. 0.99
00:17:46.380 You didn't make the rules, man. 0.99
00:17:47.400 It's been that way for thousands of years.
00:17:50.200 This is not made up.
00:17:53.120 This is the way it is.
00:17:54.320 I don't know what to say.
00:17:56.560 Yeah.
00:17:56.740 I didn't make the rules, bro.
00:17:58.400 Yeah.
00:17:58.980 You're never sure going to play by it. 0.99
00:18:00.480 If you have a fucking, if you have a fucking Formula One car, okay, and you're running a 0.99
00:18:07.620 race and everybody else runs on four brand new tires, the two fronts and the two rears, 1.00
00:18:15.300 and you only change the rears because you think that's the way it should be, what's going
00:18:20.180 to happen to you? 0.99
00:18:21.420 You're going to fucking lose. 1.00
00:18:23.300 Okay. 1.00
00:18:23.600 And you're going to lose over and over and over and over again because your belief is
00:18:28.220 not based in reality, even though you believe it.
00:18:31.020 Yeah. 0.98
00:18:31.220 It's just a virtuous self, it's virtuous, it's virtuous masturbating is what it is. 1.00
00:18:38.760 You're masturbating your virtue. 0.98
00:18:40.620 You're saying, oh, I'm such a good person because I don't have any of the dark energy 0.99
00:18:44.840 in my life and I'm at peace.
00:18:46.260 Yeah.
00:18:46.480 You're also broke. 0.99
00:18:48.220 You're also getting killed.
00:18:50.060 You're also losing at the very thing you claim to want to do with your life because you refuse
00:18:54.660 to acknowledge the reality of both sides of the energy equation.
00:18:58.740 Yeah.
00:18:59.180 And the dark side, the dark side is far more powerful for most people if you can harness
00:19:05.220 it.
00:19:05.580 The problem is people ignore it or they're not willing to look at it or they just dismiss
00:19:10.320 it all as haters.
00:19:11.360 Oh, there's just a bunch of haters. 0.99
00:19:13.260 Actually, bro, I had a guy on fucking Instagram in 2015 and I got the comment in my motherfucking 0.99
00:19:19.320 phone. 0.99
00:19:19.780 I look at it all the time.
00:19:20.900 It says, was the CEO, uh, is the CEO too successful to use his own products? 1.00
00:19:25.700 A fat fuck. 1.00
00:19:26.760 You know what happened in 2015? 1.00
00:19:28.320 I lost a hundred pounds and the company grew hundreds of millions of dollars since then. 0.98
00:19:33.040 I should send this guy a fucking check because every single time that I haven't felt like 0.99
00:19:38.520 doing what the fuck I need to do. 1.00
00:19:39.880 I opened my phone and I'm like, yeah, fuck that guy. 1.00
00:19:42.140 And I put my phone down and I get to work. 1.00
00:19:44.360 That's how you do it, bro. 1.00
00:19:46.300 Fuck man. 1.00
00:19:46.740 I love that, man. 1.00
00:19:47.460 I love it.
00:19:49.680 Guys, Andy, question number two.
00:19:52.120 Andy, I'm a 30 year old entrepreneur who aspires to live life on a similar level to yours one
00:19:57.040 day.
00:19:57.380 As I've become more successful, I've noticed people, clients and contractors I hire making
00:20:02.440 comments about the nice vehicle I drive, not in a complimentary way, but more so of a must
00:20:08.500 be nice or this guy must be ripping us off way.
00:20:10.820 Now, as someone who is motivated by nice houses and cars, et cetera, how do you deal with this
00:20:16.280 perception from others and ultimately employees that may see my material wealth in the future
00:20:21.500 and not think that they are getting the short end of the stick?
00:20:24.380 Have you ever had this, this like moral dilemma, I guess?
00:20:27.080 Do you want anybody working for you that doesn't want nicer things for their own life?
00:20:33.020 Do you want anybody associated with you that doesn't want to win?
00:20:38.900 Do you want anybody associated? 0.97
00:20:40.620 Do you want to do business with anybody that isn't trying to win on the biggest fucking scale? 0.95
00:20:45.420 Do you want to be surrounded by poor little me's who say, oh, must be nice. 1.00
00:20:50.640 Yeah, it is fucking nice. 0.99
00:20:51.680 It's been 25 fucking years of my entire life. 0.99
00:20:54.060 I traded it all to have this life. 0.99
00:20:55.860 It's really fucking nice. 1.00
00:20:57.940 While you were out doing all your shit and taking your vacations and traveling the world 1.00
00:21:02.740 and getting in touch with nature, whatever the fuck it is you do, guess what I was doing? 1.00
00:21:07.060 I was working. 0.99
00:21:08.140 All those relationships you had, those four or five year relationships where you went out
00:21:12.480 and partied and did this and you went through four different careers along the way.
00:21:16.100 You know what I was doing?
00:21:17.280 This.
00:21:18.980 Okay?
00:21:19.800 So it is nice.
00:21:21.860 It's not must be nice.
00:21:23.120 It is nice.
00:21:23.900 That's what I say when people say it must be nice.
00:21:26.300 Okay? 0.94
00:21:26.740 I have no fucking apologies for what I've done because I have given everything I fucking have to have it. 0.95
00:21:32.720 All right? 0.93
00:21:33.460 Lots of good is created from that.
00:21:35.320 Lots of people have careers from that.
00:21:37.660 Millions of people have changed their lives because of that.
00:21:40.920 All right?
00:21:41.740 Do you think any of these people would have believed in me if I wasn't a driven human being? 0.99
00:21:46.440 If I pulled up in a Ford fucking Focus with rusted out buckets and I gave these motivational talks, would anybody fucking hear what I'm saying? 0.99
00:21:53.020 No. 1.00
00:21:53.480 No fucking chance. 1.00
00:21:54.360 Okay? 1.00
00:21:55.000 Would I have a company full of highly motivated killers if they didn't realize that I was a winner myself and that I was very serious about fucking winning? 0.99
00:22:06.240 You see what I'm saying? 0.99
00:22:07.320 Yeah.
00:22:07.820 You don't want these people around you, bro. 1.00
00:22:10.080 Fuck those people. 1.00
00:22:11.640 Okay? 1.00
00:22:12.960 That's it. 0.98
00:22:13.560 I fucking love it. 0.97
00:22:14.320 Yeah. 0.96
00:22:14.720 Now, was there a transition, Andy?
00:22:16.220 Because, you know, like early on in business...
00:22:18.460 That's a them problem.
00:22:19.820 Yeah.
00:22:20.160 That's a them problem.
00:22:21.560 Yeah.
00:22:21.740 And it's a good filter for you to use to weed out people's mentality.
00:22:26.240 Yeah. 0.99
00:22:26.740 I do not want a single person surrounding me that doesn't want nicer shit for themselves. 1.00
00:22:32.520 Now, their nicer shit might be different. 1.00
00:22:34.420 I got guys here that have lots of animals and they own a little farms and they do other things. 0.99
00:22:39.400 They have, you know...
00:22:41.080 It ain't got to be a lot.
00:22:41.880 Yeah.
00:22:42.100 It don't got to be cars.
00:22:43.120 Right.
00:22:43.260 It don't got to be a house. 0.99
00:22:44.360 But they want nicer shit for themselves. 0.99
00:22:46.860 They want nicer life. 0.99
00:22:48.460 They're highly motivated and inspired by success.
00:22:51.220 I don't want a single person around me, not even with a hundred miles around me, that would say something like that. 0.99
00:22:58.860 So, you should use that as a filter to filter out every single motherfucker that ever says anything with you. 0.99
00:23:05.140 Lose their number. 1.00
00:23:06.280 Don't do business with them.
00:23:07.720 If they're a contractor of yours, don't use them.
00:23:10.260 Find someone who wants to win because what they're really telling you is,
00:23:13.420 I don't have any intention of ever going where you're trying to go.
00:23:17.180 Why would you do business with that?
00:23:19.640 See what I'm saying?
00:23:20.660 From that standpoint, it makes perfect sense.
00:23:23.380 I was just thinking like, you know, like in your journey, right?
00:23:26.940 Like when you started to see the success, right?
00:23:29.000 Like when you started to see it, because I feel like...
00:23:30.620 Wasn't there a story about like the first Lambo you had?
00:23:33.020 Yeah.
00:23:33.760 I've struggled with this.
00:23:34.600 Because it's a natural incarnation, right?
00:23:36.120 You have nothing to start winning and like...
00:23:38.000 It's uncomfortable.
00:23:38.720 Yeah.
00:23:38.920 I get it, right?
00:23:39.520 Yeah.
00:23:40.140 And that was...
00:23:40.700 So, how quick...
00:23:41.300 Yeah.
00:23:41.720 So, let me tell you a story.
00:23:42.860 So, I bought my first Lamborghini in 2012.
00:23:47.380 2011 or 12.
00:23:48.820 Okay?
00:23:49.040 It was...
00:23:49.780 I think it was two...
00:23:51.600 I don't know.
00:23:52.160 It was 11 or 12.
00:23:53.000 I can't remember.
00:23:54.640 And it was a huge deal for me.
00:23:56.380 Yeah. 1.00
00:23:56.660 Huge fucking deal. 1.00
00:23:57.940 Huge deal. 1.00
00:23:58.580 But, dude, I felt the same way this person feels.
00:24:03.340 Because I was around a lot of people at that time who were still very much so just going
00:24:10.340 to live their life like everybody else does.
00:24:12.060 Which, by the way, that's fine.
00:24:13.320 If that's what you want to do, fine.
00:24:15.080 If it's really what you want to do.
00:24:16.300 If it's really what you want to do. 0.98
00:24:17.760 But I'm not buying your shit of pretending that that's what you actually wanted when in 0.99
00:24:22.480 reality I've heard you talk about all this other shit your whole life and the truth 1.00
00:24:26.360 is you're just too pussy to go out and build it. 1.00
00:24:28.340 Right. 1.00
00:24:28.580 All right?
00:24:28.940 Don't buy... 1.00
00:24:29.460 Don't fill me with that shit. 1.00
00:24:30.740 I have friends that don't give a fuck about anything money-wise. 1.00
00:24:33.920 I love those people. 0.96
00:24:35.260 But it's real. 1.00
00:24:35.900 It's real shit. 1.00
00:24:36.480 They don't care. 1.00
00:24:37.320 Okay?
00:24:37.660 And actually, those are some of the most interesting people.
00:24:39.740 Where I have a problem with it is the people who virtue themselves and... 1.00
00:24:43.880 It's no different than these motherfuckers on the internet. 1.00
00:24:46.560 Everything. 1.00
00:24:47.280 You know?
00:24:47.520 I'm for this.
00:24:48.880 I'm for that.
00:24:49.580 I stand with this. 1.00
00:24:50.520 Man, fuck off. 1.00
00:24:51.840 You know? 1.00
00:24:52.320 These people are the same.
00:24:53.560 They just do it with finances.
00:24:55.320 And so, when we...
00:24:57.340 When I first bought that Lamborghini, I was surrounded by...
00:25:00.260 I hadn't leveled up.
00:25:01.540 You know how I talk about leveling up?
00:25:03.360 And I talk about how when you have your first group of friends and you go out and try to
00:25:06.700 be successful, they're all going to laugh at you and they're going to make fun of you
00:25:10.460 and they're going to question you and they're going to doubt you and they're going to tell 1.00
00:25:12.980 you you're wasting your time and that you're stupid and you're going to be the butt of the 1.00
00:25:16.400 joke. 1.00
00:25:16.640 And this is why most people never try, all right?
00:25:19.700 And that's real. 1.00
00:25:20.560 That shit happens. 1.00
00:25:21.340 That does happen, okay? 1.00
00:25:23.080 But it's irrelevant.
00:25:24.260 That's what I'm trying to tell you.
00:25:25.360 Because you start to move down the path of creating a better life and that's where it
00:25:29.460 starts to feel lonely.
00:25:30.500 And this is where most people, when they're in the middle, they say, oh, it's lonely at
00:25:35.140 the top. 0.99
00:25:35.380 You're not at the top, bro, because you bought a fucking entry-level Lambo. 0.99
00:25:39.740 That's not the top, okay? 0.97
00:25:42.780 That's the top for where you used to be.
00:25:45.040 That's not the top.
00:25:46.920 And they'll say, oh, it's lonely at the top. 0.97
00:25:48.760 You don't fucking know what the top's like. 0.98
00:25:50.480 You've never been there. 1.00
00:25:51.620 I've never been there.
00:25:54.020 So you get to the middle and you start saying, oh, it's lonely at the top. 0.99
00:25:56.980 And then these people go back to their group because they want to be friends and they fucking 1.00
00:26:00.100 give up on all their shit, all right? 0.99
00:26:01.760 But the guy who keeps going, he finds a new group. 1.00
00:26:04.640 The new group likes the same shit. 1.00
00:26:06.320 They're on the same path. 1.00
00:26:07.440 And by the way, not only do they like the same stuff and are they on the same path, they'll
00:26:10.980 help you get to the next phase.
00:26:13.100 And that's what it's like for people.
00:26:15.280 So when I first got that car, I was in between.
00:26:20.820 I hadn't met my new network yet and I still have my old network. 0.99
00:26:25.480 And I was hearing the same shit you're talking about. 0.98
00:26:28.820 Must be nice. 1.00
00:26:29.920 And bro, I had to stretch to buy that car.
00:26:33.720 That car wasn't easily affordable for me.
00:26:35.660 You know, I would recommend you do it different.
00:26:40.020 But that's the truth for me.
00:26:41.220 It was important to me.
00:26:43.580 I'm a car guy. 0.97
00:26:44.920 I fucking made the deal to do it. 0.98
00:26:47.040 And that was it. 0.99
00:26:47.680 And it worked out pretty good for me.
00:26:50.380 But I wouldn't drive the car for like a year.
00:26:53.280 And my buddy at the time...
00:26:54.440 Well, you had this car for a whole year and you didn't drive it.
00:26:56.240 No, I drove it.
00:26:56.940 But I wouldn't drive it to like work.
00:26:58.320 Yeah, and what ended up happening was I drove the car out in public. 0.97
00:27:03.740 I saw one of my guys and they fucking was like... 0.98
00:27:07.600 They were like, holy shit, is that your car? 0.99
00:27:09.240 And I was like, yeah. 1.00
00:27:10.520 And they were like, fuck, dude, that's awesome. 0.99
00:27:12.980 And they were super pumped, all right? 0.99
00:27:14.660 So I didn't have...
00:27:16.020 I couldn't hide the secret anymore because everybody's going to know.
00:27:18.320 So I started driving it. 0.96
00:27:19.800 And yeah, some people got pissed and they fucking bailed out. 0.98
00:27:22.780 But since then, I've gone on to do the rest of the shit that I've done. 0.99
00:27:25.760 And you know why? 0.98
00:27:26.600 Because it weeded out all the people that didn't want success.
00:27:29.700 All right?
00:27:30.380 So when we think about these things...
00:27:33.080 And by the way, I went up to my friend during that time.
00:27:36.120 I had a friend at that time who had a lot of nice cars.
00:27:39.820 And I went up to him and I said, hey, man.
00:27:42.980 I said, do you ever get any pushback from driving these nice cars?
00:27:47.220 Very similar to this question.
00:27:48.780 You know what he said to me? 0.99
00:27:50.680 Do you want any people around you that don't want nice shit? 0.99
00:27:53.520 So I'm going to share that with you. 0.99
00:27:54.940 That's what you should think about. 0.99
00:27:56.940 Do you want anybody on your team that doesn't want nice shit? 0.99
00:27:59.900 Do you want anybody on your team that doesn't want to win? 0.99
00:28:02.440 Do you want anybody on your team that's not driven?
00:28:04.840 That's not on the same path?
00:28:06.160 Not on the same wave as you?
00:28:07.780 Now, it doesn't have to be cars. 0.98
00:28:09.320 But they sure as fuck shouldn't be hating on success. 0.97
00:28:12.500 You see what I'm saying? 0.99
00:28:13.140 Absolutely, man.
00:28:13.920 So that's my take on it.
00:28:16.680 I love it.
00:28:17.420 Bottom line is this.
00:28:18.640 Use it as a filter to weed out the people who aren't going to fit in the direction you are taking your life.
00:28:25.360 I love it.
00:28:27.060 Guys, Andy, our third and final question.
00:28:29.340 Question number three.
00:28:30.360 Andy, I've listened to you for about seven years now.
00:28:34.540 I'm a 38-year-old small business owner, not by choice.
00:28:38.420 So I don't really know if I would call myself an entrepreneur.
00:28:42.080 However, I've been selling my product for about 18 years now, storage sheds.
00:28:46.820 I've been in business on my own for the last eight.
00:28:50.080 Within those first three years, I managed to acquire four locations and an online store.
00:28:54.540 It was awesome.
00:28:55.600 In January 2020, I was finally able to start working from home.
00:28:59.760 At the forefront of living my dreams, while my business ran itself pretty much,
00:29:04.700 I was going to be chasing a music career.
00:29:07.420 Well, then the country shut down.
00:29:09.060 I kept my locations open for business.
00:29:10.960 We made less sales, but it was okay.
00:29:13.180 However, each year, the sales and income are being cut in half.
00:29:16.820 I made $34K last year.
00:29:19.060 That's not really feasible for me.
00:29:20.840 I've adjusted the business to take on new types of business so that we can hopefully stay busy.
00:29:25.240 I just don't know what to do.
00:29:26.520 I've pressed and pushed ahead and can't get up this mountain.
00:29:29.880 I don't think it's my fault, but it really beats me up mentally. 0.95
00:29:33.560 I feel like I'm failing at something that I know I'm a fucking G at, 0.89
00:29:37.300 but I don't know, man. 0.96
00:29:38.000 I don't want to be arrogant either.
00:29:39.860 I feel like I may have to switch up my game plan and start selling something else
00:29:42.980 that people can afford during this time period in the economy.
00:29:46.080 Any thoughts on this?
00:29:46.940 First off, bro, you said everything was going great, 1.00
00:29:51.120 and you decided to go work at home and fuck off. 1.00
00:29:53.340 What did you think was going to fucking happen? 1.00
00:29:54.740 This is the result of your decisions. 1.00
00:29:57.080 And by the way, you are arrogant. 0.92
00:29:58.940 You're misunderstanding the game. 0.71
00:30:00.580 You can't win without your best.
00:30:02.920 You are in the most competitive game in the world, which is entrepreneurship.
00:30:06.740 It's not pro football.
00:30:08.300 It's not pro baseball. 0.99
00:30:09.900 It's not the fucking Olympics. 0.99
00:30:11.360 It's business. 0.99
00:30:12.500 And the consequences of being bad at business are life-altering.
00:30:16.620 And you're not understanding that.
00:30:19.720 You've allowed your sales to get cut in half and cut in half again
00:30:22.520 because you want to pursue a music career.
00:30:25.460 You're right. 1.00
00:30:26.220 You're not a fucking entrepreneur. 1.00
00:30:27.660 Because if you were a fucking entrepreneur, you'd be in there every motherfucking day 1.00
00:30:31.580 winning the goddamn game that you're playing. 1.00
00:30:34.200 But you want to go play a different game. 1.00
00:30:35.820 So my advice to you would be get out of that fucking shed business 1.00
00:30:38.760 and go play fucking music. 1.00
00:30:40.640 That's what my advice would be. 0.99
00:30:42.220 Now, if you say, oh, well, that's not the answer I was expecting, 0.99
00:30:45.340 that's why the fuck you asked me. 0.99
00:30:47.180 Because I'm going to tell you the truth. 1.00
00:30:49.040 All right?
00:30:49.640 You are not good enough to win on half your effort.
00:30:53.220 Neither am I, and neither is anybody else who's out here winning. 1.00
00:30:56.060 And the reason that your shit is cut in half is because you weren't listening to me close enough. 0.99
00:31:01.300 I've listened to you for seven years. 1.00
00:31:02.720 Clearly fucking not. 0.99
00:31:04.380 All right? 0.97
00:31:05.020 So do you want to fix it?
00:31:07.000 I'm going to assume you do.
00:31:08.240 All right?
00:31:08.720 So that's the truth.
00:31:10.080 Now let's talk about fixing it.
00:31:11.920 All right? 1.00
00:31:12.780 You can't become a professional musician while you're digging your business out of a fucking hole. 1.00
00:31:18.160 And from the way that the question was framed, 1.00
00:31:20.680 I'm assuming you inherited the company and are running the company for eight years on your own.
00:31:25.640 That's the way it sounds like to me.
00:31:27.040 You said not by choice.
00:31:28.160 I'm not an entrepreneur by choice. 0.99
00:31:29.840 Well, if you're not an entrepreneur by choice, you're definitely going to fucking lose. 0.98
00:31:32.480 Because there's too many people that want to do it, that'll kill for it, 0.99
00:31:35.540 that'll give everything that they fucking can for it to beat you. 0.98
00:31:38.480 And I guarantee you, in the shed business, there's plenty of those people. 0.98
00:31:42.160 All right?
00:31:43.100 So how are we going to fix your business?
00:31:44.980 You're going to have to make a decision.
00:31:46.920 Am I going to grow this business into a real business?
00:31:49.520 Or am I going to let the family business die and me going to live my other dream,
00:31:54.380 which is going to take another however many years?
00:31:58.300 And by the way, you're, what do you say?
00:32:00.160 38.
00:32:00.900 You're 38.
00:32:02.320 You can do it still, bro. 1.00
00:32:04.080 There's fucking country music stars now, 0.99
00:32:06.540 like Jelly Roll and these other guys who are coming along later in life, 1.00
00:32:10.320 kicking ass. 1.00
00:32:10.980 Killer Mike just won Grammy's at fucking 50 years old. 1.00
00:32:13.800 Yeah. 0.99
00:32:13.940 Okay? 0.98
00:32:14.700 So, comes out of nowhere after being dormant forever and fucking crush it. 0.99
00:32:19.440 It's possible. 0.97
00:32:20.940 But just like business, if you are not completely bought in with all of your effort,
00:32:26.420 all of your intent, all of your work ethic, you cannot make it.
00:32:30.060 Because just like business, there's people that are willing to give everything
00:32:33.200 to be successful in that avenue.
00:32:35.140 And the biggest mistake that we all make is thinking that we can compete 0.97
00:32:38.680 with half of our effort with other people that are willing to fucking die to get there. 0.96
00:32:43.160 That is not reality. 0.97
00:32:44.860 It's not reality in music.
00:32:46.580 It's not reality in sports.
00:32:48.040 It's not reality in art.
00:32:49.500 It's not reality in business.
00:32:51.420 All right?
00:32:52.300 So, what do you want to do?
00:32:54.100 Do you want to be a musician?
00:32:55.640 Are you willing to give 10 years of your life?
00:32:57.720 Are you in a position to starve and become, maybe, if you're great at it, a star?
00:33:03.840 And by the way, to get great at it, you're going to have to first understand what I'm saying,
00:33:07.580 which you don't yet.
00:33:08.800 It takes everything, man. 0.87
00:33:10.900 This is not bullshit. 1.00
00:33:11.840 You're not going to buy a fucking course from one of these online fuckheads 1.00
00:33:15.460 that's going to make you a professional fucking business guy. 1.00
00:33:18.420 It's not going to happen. 0.99
00:33:20.000 You have to put the time in.
00:33:22.020 So, do you want to put the time into music for the next 10 years
00:33:25.020 and maybe be able to survive?
00:33:29.040 Not be a star.
00:33:30.080 Be able to survive.
00:33:30.760 Or do you want to take something that you already know very well that you're at a position in life
00:33:37.000 to operate and dedicate yourself to doing that and build it into something real 0.94
00:33:41.020 that gives you, you don't have to become, you don't have to be, you don't have to become the fucking Nike of sheds. 0.98
00:33:47.260 But it sounds to me like you're the kind of guy that wants to make enough money to fucking live his life. 0.97
00:33:52.840 That's not ideal when it comes to being the main guy at a company. 0.99
00:33:57.480 The main guy at a company is in it for the fucking win. 0.99
00:33:59.700 They're not in it for the fucking, I'm trying to, you got a fucking regular dude mindset, bro. 1.00
00:34:05.780 There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't win the game with that mindset when you're playing the game. 0.99
00:34:10.080 So you have to decide what you want to do.
00:34:11.660 Do you want to put the time in to resurrecting the shed business and create a situation where you get real income? 0.52
00:34:17.800 And when I say real income, it sure as fucking 34K a year. 0.94
00:34:21.420 That, bro, I'm going to tell you right now, that would freak me the fuck out if I were you. 0.97
00:34:25.740 I would be in a straight up panic.
00:34:27.280 The fact that you're not even more panicked is a red flag to me that you shouldn't even be in the game.
00:34:32.020 Because you're going to fail, bro.
00:34:33.220 I hate to say it. 1.00
00:34:34.300 It's real shit. 1.00
00:34:34.820 You're going to fucking fail. 1.00
00:34:36.600 All right? 1.00
00:34:36.960 So what do you want to do?
00:34:40.340 If you were my friend, I'd say, what do you want to do, bro?
00:34:42.480 Here's the reality of the two choices.
00:34:44.700 Play music.
00:34:46.640 Dedicate all your time to it. 0.99
00:34:48.260 Figure out a way to earn some income so you can fucking eat during the way. 0.98
00:34:51.320 Maybe do some lessons. 0.99
00:34:52.340 I don't know what it is.
00:34:53.620 I don't know.
00:34:54.380 I don't know how good you are.
00:34:55.400 I don't know if you have any skills.
00:34:56.520 I don't know if you have any talent. 0.99
00:34:57.660 I don't fucking know. 0.98
00:34:58.500 You could be beginning in day one guitar lessons. 0.99
00:35:01.040 I don't know what you mean when you say play music.
00:35:04.300 But it's going to take 10 years.
00:35:07.600 You got that.
00:35:08.320 You're 38.
00:35:08.840 10 years at a minimum to maybe make it.
00:35:12.800 Do you want to take the shed business and do you want to make it so you can make a million bucks a year?
00:35:17.140 You could probably do that in three or four years with the shed business.
00:35:21.260 So you have to make a decision. 0.95
00:35:22.380 But if you go with the shed business, you can't go play guitar all fucking day and expect it to go.
00:35:27.340 It's not going to happen. 0.75
00:35:28.460 You got to start taking it serious.
00:35:30.080 You got to set up your company the right way.
00:35:31.880 You got to give it everything you got. 0.99
00:35:33.660 You got to go full guerrilla fucking warfare mode on your business and go straight hard as fucking long as you can. 0.98
00:35:40.340 And that's it. 0.99
00:35:41.240 And that's what it takes.
00:35:42.060 If you're competing in this game, you will lose with anything else.
00:35:46.240 And anybody who tells you any different, I promise you, is losing.
00:35:49.480 Yeah.
00:35:49.980 Dude, there was something you said that really clicked for me too because even me personally, I've always looked at when you think about a company or just a business, right?
00:35:58.920 Like, when you think about it, it's like, oh, well, you know, that's a taco stand or this is a construction company, right?
00:36:06.900 Like, and you think that they're different, but when in reality, the principles of-
00:36:10.360 It's the game.
00:36:11.620 It's business.
00:36:12.820 Bro.
00:36:13.280 Business is business.
00:36:14.560 Bro.
00:36:15.300 Everything is everything.
00:36:17.240 Yeah.
00:36:17.420 It's not just business.
00:36:19.380 It's do you want to be a master at your craft? 0.99
00:36:23.120 If you want to be a fucking artist and you want to be great at it, you're going to have to put in 10,000 fucking hours or 10 years of time. 0.99
00:36:32.080 Malcolm Gladwell talks about this, okay? 0.99
00:36:35.000 In his book, Outliers.
00:36:36.440 He defines what this means.
00:36:38.440 10,000 hours or 10 years of your time.
00:36:41.580 That's what it takes.
00:36:42.860 That's what it takes to be great at anything.
00:36:45.400 You want to be a great graphic artist?
00:36:47.000 That's what it takes.
00:36:47.880 You want to be a great audio engineer, a producer?
00:36:51.020 That's what it takes.
00:36:51.800 You want to be great at operating weapons?
00:36:54.300 That's what it takes.
00:36:55.300 You want to be a great musician?
00:36:56.680 That's what it takes.
00:36:57.740 You want to be a great entrepreneur?
00:36:59.360 That's what it takes. 0.71
00:37:00.620 You have to pick a thing and you have to go all the fuck in because it is arrogant to think that you can win a game against other people where they are all in and you are giving half of your effort. 0.79
00:37:12.360 You can't win that way. 0.96
00:37:14.540 Nobody's that good.
00:37:16.060 Nobody's that good.
00:37:16.920 When I say to this guy, you're not that good, nobody's that good.
00:37:22.480 Nobody.
00:37:23.500 It's a myth.
00:37:24.600 It comes from comparing yourself to these people on the internet that smile all day and act like this is easy. 0.99
00:37:32.180 I run my business and I got 17 other ones and they do all this shit and you know what I do? 0.99
00:37:37.900 I fucking buy cars all day. 1.00
00:37:40.640 Like, dude, bullshit. 1.00

00:37:57.280 I'm meeting with people. 1.00
00:37:58.660 I'm fucking making sure this shit runs. 1.00
00:38:02.020 Like, if you took half the week off to go play guitar, bro, sales would start dropping. 1.00
00:38:08.080 Shit would start getting mid. 0.99
00:38:09.300 Like, and that's what I wanted to bring up. 0.99
00:38:11.600 It's like, like how you said, it's like nobody's immune from it.
00:38:14.800 Yeah, but see, here's the thing.
00:38:16.380 There is guys that compete against me that take half the week off to play golf.
00:38:19.960 Yeah. 0.98
00:38:20.120 And take half the week off to fucking go on vacation and play guitar. 0.99
00:38:23.340 And you know what? 0.99
00:38:24.340 I beat all those guys.
00:38:26.120 I'm the guy that you're competing with and you don't get it.
00:38:30.080 In the music industry, there's me.
00:38:32.880 In the music industry, that guy's going to win. 0.99
00:38:35.120 In the fucking art place, there's me. 0.99
00:38:37.300 With that mentality, that guy's going to win. 1.00
00:38:39.540 In business, that guy's going to win.
00:38:41.620 All the time.
00:38:42.400 A thousand times out of a thousand. 1.00
00:38:43.880 It's fucking math. 1.00
00:38:45.240 It's inputs and outputs. 1.00
00:38:46.740 That motherfucker's putting in ten times the inputs that you're putting in. 1.00
00:38:50.120 He's going to get ten times the output. 1.00
00:38:51.660 Yeah. 0.99
00:38:51.860 And you want to say work-life balance and all this shit? 1.00
00:38:55.420 Listen, when you're the fucking head honcho and it's your shit, 1.00
00:38:58.280 that shit goes out the fucking window. 1.00
00:39:00.780 Okay? 1.00
00:39:01.120 Your employees, fine.
00:39:02.420 Totally get it.
00:39:03.700 I totally get it. 1.00
00:39:05.200 But when you're the fucking captain of the motherfucking ship, 1.00
00:39:08.100 which this guy is, 1.00
00:39:09.540 that shit is way far down the line of priorities. 0.99
00:39:13.100 That's why I want you to get the shed business 0.99
00:39:14.940 to the million-dollar mark over the next three years
00:39:17.400 and then maybe you can have some of that.
00:39:19.020 But you don't get it all, bro.
00:39:20.680 And you ain't in a place to get it all right now,
00:39:22.720 even if you want it.
00:39:24.040 And you're not good enough to compete at half your effort 0.99
00:39:26.560 just like every other fucking person out here that's competing. 0.99
