00:00:11.720 cost 250 what is up guys this is andy priscilla and this is the show for the realists say goodbye
00:00:17.780 to the lies the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality guys
00:00:24.260 today we're going to have some math lessons all right i know you're all thinking what the fuck i 0.74
00:00:30.480 hate math i hate math too but today i want to take some time and i want to break down some statistics
00:00:38.440 and some numbers to show you why so few people ever hit that upper echelon that so many claim to be
00:00:47.120 after okay there's only a small percentage of people who are going to make it in life we all know that
00:00:53.520 that's common knowledge so before i start breaking down the numbers to show you why i need you to
00:01:00.220 understand a very clear point success is not magic success is not built on luck success is not winning
00:01:12.400 the fucking success lottery it doesn't matter okay and far too many of you believe in these things and 0.90
00:01:19.600 today the purpose for this episode is to help you see why it is certain people end up where they do
00:01:27.940 by the numbers all right we all know people who think like this right sometimes it's even us
00:01:34.420 sometimes we are the ones who are blaming things on magic our luck our circumstance but we all know
00:01:41.380 people like this right you hear them all the time they're always saying stuff like uh you know i'm not
00:01:46.600 doing that that's not my job or you know no way they're not paying me enough to do that job but
00:01:52.620 they'll sit there on the bar stool and talk about how hard they work about how they put in just as much
00:01:59.840 effort as the other guys they just aren't lucky these are the same people that talk about success
00:02:06.260 but will not do any of the necessary steps needed to get there they won't do any of the necessary
00:02:13.680 extra work to get there they won't do any personal development they won't try to learn they won't try
00:02:19.500 to advance and they really don't even want to reach that goal they're just full of shit and to be honest
00:02:25.400 they're weak people who have reached real success in life who are successful in all areas being your
00:02:32.540 family your business your physical all of these different things they realize that winning and being
00:02:39.740 successful is a cause and effect relationship it's actions and results okay it's it's two plus
00:02:47.700 two equals motherfucking four all right you have to put in the inputs to get the outputs every truly
00:02:55.440 successful person understands this is fact so let's get into this math and for sake of ease and
00:03:03.440 convenience we're going to say there's a hundred people out there to start with all right some of us
00:03:08.440 aren't very mathematically inclined i'm one of them so let's just make it a nice even number 100 all
00:03:14.140 right now we're going to say that a hundred of these people have decided today that today is the
00:03:20.700 day they're going to go out and start working and grinding and building a new business how many times do
00:03:28.100 we hear that or substitute build a new business with build a new body or get my shit together all right 0.81
00:03:34.740 we hear this stuff all the time but after a few weeks or a few months what happens 70 of these
00:03:40.600 people out of the hundred they're going to be gone right out of the bat okay these people are going to
00:03:46.020 quit it's too hard it's too much work it's not working out the way i wanted it's not happening fast
00:03:52.400 enough and they're going to start something else and they're going to repeat this cycle over and over
00:03:57.380 and over again maybe they didn't see the immediate profit uh or maybe they realized that it's a lot
00:04:03.640 fucking harder than what it looks like on the outside i'll just save you a whole lifetime it is 0.93
00:04:07.540 whatever the excuse may be they quit so right out of the gate you've got to understand that 70 of the
00:04:15.520 people who say they're going to do shit don't do any of it all right and you recognize these people
00:04:21.480 you see them all the time these are the people that you know they like to physically be seen
00:04:26.800 working they're always look like they're busy you look around they're moving but what are they getting
00:04:31.300 done they have to be noticed they feel like that if they appear to be busy and they appear to be
00:04:39.000 working that somehow success will find them and sometimes months go by sometimes even years go by
00:04:46.220 before they finally actually even get started in this process they talk they talk they talk they talk
00:04:51.920 they talk but they never do we all know people like this they'll be talking about this amazing idea
00:04:58.260 they have for a business and how it's going to revolutionize the industry and they're going to
00:05:02.660 make all this money and they're going to change all this shit except it never happens these are the true 0.82
00:05:09.900 barstool warriors all right we all know them and we all have them and some of our friends are even these
00:05:15.500 people okay this is what they're going to be they're going to be barstool people now that's 70
00:05:23.440 percent of people 70 percent of people make a relatively immediate exit all right what's that leave
00:05:30.080 us with at least with 30 percent of our original group all right now we're going to talk about another
00:05:36.120 20 of those 30 now these people they're hard workers they deserve respect they contribute they figured
00:05:43.940 out a routine they figured out how to be effective they listen they learn and they put what they learn
00:05:49.500 into effect but then something happens their store gets vandalized their business gets broken into they
00:05:58.380 end up in a car accident a family member becomes ill and guess what happens they give up and then you
00:06:06.960 hear things like this well you know what guys i really tried hard but it just wasn't meant to be
00:06:13.140 oh you know what guys this is what i really that was my dream but you know it just wasn't in the cards
00:06:20.060 and we hear that for the rest of their lives and that's the end of their story they punch out they shut
00:06:25.180 it down and that's it and guys i want you to understand something before i go any further
00:06:30.740 this journey that you're on is fucking hard trust me i know this there's going to be way more than 0.85
00:06:38.560 just one of these big tests along the way and you need to prepare yourself now to overcome these tests
00:06:45.420 and see these obstacles as tests you want to know how i know this shit because every one of those things 0.78
00:06:51.040 i listed above has happened to me and my business partner our first retail location was broken into and
00:06:57.100 robbed we've both been in car accidents i was stabbed in the motherfucking face chris's mom was 0.97
00:07:03.120 diagnosed with terminal cancer and you know what we kept at it chris while his mom was in the hospital
00:07:11.400 dying of cancer would drive three hours from springfield missouri to st louis every other day
00:07:19.120 but he didn't quit and we didn't quit he still found a way to run and maintain our
00:07:26.980 business it's dedication to the mission all right so you need to understand these tests are coming
00:07:34.920 and whether you face them now or you or you have it it's irrelevant they're coming and they're coming
00:07:40.480 for you and they're going to take a big motherfucking bite out of your ass that's the way it goes don't 0.98
00:07:46.440 let it sink you all right so where are we at with the math we've hit the point where 90 percent
00:07:54.120 of the initial crowd has fallen off in some way shape or form what's that leave us with at least
00:08:00.540 it's with 10 now these are the people who have built businesses they've gone through the setbacks
00:08:07.760 they continue to work hard every single day for it but then what happens the challenges the things
00:08:15.580 that they see as adversity as tests start to disappear every day starts to blend together
00:08:21.920 wake up shower coffee emails phone calls meetings dinner tv bedtime that's it it's over and we start
00:08:32.920 over again tomorrow they get stuck in this rut and stop looking for ways to excel or move forward they
00:08:39.160 stop trying to be better they let the routine numb their hunger and they fade away because things
00:08:46.560 became boring and i can't stress this enough guys you have to learn to master the mundane all right these
00:08:55.040 boring moments they're what's going to sink you in the beginning stages when the hardships are
00:09:01.580 happening those things are the ones that encourage you and push you to be stronger because most
00:09:07.320 people can recognize them as adversity and they're looking for a fire to keep them going but in the
00:09:15.080 mundane times guys these are far more dangerous because they offer up a false sense of security they
00:09:21.860 lure and lull you into a simple docile creature who's going to fade away and become irrelevant and that's
00:09:29.800 the real problem with this time period okay it's hard as hell to recognize when you catch yourself
00:09:36.900 saying you know what don't worry about that today we can take care of it tomorrow when you let a few
00:09:42.380 customer issues slide because it's just a few grand in the scheme of millions of dollars when you forget
00:09:48.020 to ship something out that was supposed to be overnighted when you forget to make that meeting that you were
00:09:53.200 committed to be at these are all clear signs it's a slippery slope and when you start letting these little
00:09:59.660 things slide these things that two years ago you prided yourself on they add up real quick and before
00:10:06.420 you know it you shit the bed with your reputation it's called the grind for a fucking reason guys it's 0.98
00:10:12.720 grueling you have to recognize these moments and build off of them you have to recognize that the
00:10:18.400 mundane times are just as much of adversity as the difficult times and if you feel like everything has
00:10:26.420 gone to a standstill you need to use that as a as the trigger to get you into motion all right getting
00:10:34.180 through these mundane times are the times that will make or break you from that 10 percent to that two
00:10:40.560 percent which is where you want to go so yeah you might have all the time in the world right now
00:10:46.800 okay your focus can be wholly on the future but you got to start acting like you did when you first
00:10:53.380 started you have to find that hunger you have to find that drive and you have to be willing to make
00:10:58.940 things happen so that you can reach that next level i've seen more successful people ruin their
00:11:05.840 entire existence their entire life's work from ignoring the mundane and not recognizing it as the
00:11:14.360 adversity as a dangerous adversity that they had in the beginning when things were challenging and things
00:11:20.960 were hard all right so you have to recognize that because that's going to gobble up another eight
00:11:27.100 out of these 10 guys so if eight out of these 10 guys the top 10 are going to drop off when they hit
00:11:34.520 the mundane what's that leave us with it leaves us with two out of a hundred only two and i want you guys
00:11:43.220 to understand this this is reality this is why there's so few people that win long term this is why
00:11:51.100 successful people ingrain the drive into themselves they master the mundane they are consistent with
00:11:57.880 that mastery they understand the concepts of longevity and the adjustments that need to be made
00:12:03.280 these people don't limit this to the concept of business their whole lives are driven by these ideals
00:12:10.020 they don't have to tell people how successful they are because it fucking shows okay they don't 0.62
00:12:15.720 believe in magic they don't believe in luck they don't believe in lottery they don't believe in the
00:12:20.020 fucking success fairy they believe that they can handle the bumps in the road no matter how big 0.61
00:12:25.660 or how small they're the ones who are going to get there early stay there late and you'll never hear
00:12:31.760 them say anything that sounds like they don't pay me enough to do that because when you're in the two
00:12:38.600 percent you're going to get what the fuck you want a hundred percent of the time in all aspects of life
00:12:45.940 and if you're the type of person that says well the odds are stacked against the average person well
00:12:50.980 that sucks for you motherfucker because average is just as close to the bottom as it is to the top
00:12:56.300 and most people don't realize that so it depends on what you want but those are the numbers
00:13:01.800 two percent of people make it to elite for a reason and you can recognize where you are along that scale
00:13:10.160 where are you are you in that first 70 percent are you in that next 20 percent are you in that next
00:13:17.680 eight percent are you in that two percent that never gets stale that never loses that hunger
00:13:26.200 that never loses that drive that never loses the will that is constantly focusing on bettering
00:13:33.460 themselves at the fundamentals while still working to innovate and find better ways to win
00:13:39.420 i'm not going to tell you where i'm at because i think it speaks for itself and that's reality if
00:13:45.460 you think that's cocky it is what it is facts are facts fiction's fiction all right where do you want to
00:13:51.380 be where do you see yourself do you see yourself as one of these people who's going to sit on a bar
00:13:57.400 stool and and talk about how successful they could have been or would have been are you going to be
00:14:03.000 one of these people who finds a little bit of success and gets a little bit things going and gets a little
00:14:09.140 bit better and then gives up when it shit gets hard are you going to be one of these people who 0.51
00:14:13.820 actually becomes successful and then gets lazy and loses it are you going to be one of these
00:14:19.800 motherfuckers that wins and keeps winning and inspires other motherfuckers to win till the end of 1.00
00:14:25.440 fucking time because the choice is yours and those are the numbers 0.65
00:14:30.520 told my teacher dumb bitch i'm gonna get millions watch this in the project living down spoke it till 1.00
00:14:36.380 existed
00:14:36.840 you
