00:00:26.640
a real talk and it's going to be audio only so uh that's the way it's going to be well listen guys
00:00:32.720
you know we get lots of emails in for q and af and one of the most frequent emails that we get
00:00:38.400
is how to deal with people who talk shit who hate on you who don't believe in you and who discourage
00:00:45.360
you and i'm going to share with you a little bit about what it was like for me and then give you a
00:00:50.400
little bit of uh information on how you could deal with this and make it actually work for you you
00:00:54.880
know when i first started in business guys i was 19 years old i didn't have any real experience
00:01:00.720
i didn't have any resources uh we didn't know what we were doing and it was a joke to almost
00:01:07.200
everybody around me everybody around me thought it was some sort of side project or some sort of
00:01:13.200
trend or or temporary thing that we were going to do and then it would eventually fade out and along
00:01:19.040
the way you know when we first started we had people that would say oh man that's so cool that's
00:01:23.840
so cool that you guys are doing that and once we got going you know we got a year in we got two
00:01:29.280
years in we weren't making any money all right like i talk about all the time the first day we were in
00:01:34.720
business we sold seven dollars the second day we were in business we didn't sell anything and the
00:01:39.200
third day we sold 23 it took us eight months to have a day over 200 and it took us five and a half
00:01:46.800
years to open up our second location so the first three years i was in business i didn't make a
00:01:52.480
single dollar from the business both chris and i worked other jobs to keep the business going and
00:01:59.760
during that time we faced a lot of criticism we faced a lot of hate we faced a lot of jokes we had
00:02:06.880
a lot of people telling us that we needed to be realistic and we needed to grow up and we needed to
00:02:12.000
get a real job and you know as we progressed and we grew the company that never changed it actually got
00:02:18.640
worse and as it became more apparent that we were doing something the chirps from the crickets
00:02:26.240
got louder and louder and louder all right people were now saying things like oh you still got that
00:02:32.400
little vitamin shop how's the little vitamin shop going what are you guys doing with that and they would
00:02:38.000
still say things like when are you going to grow up and get a real job okay this is normal this is the
00:02:44.240
way it goes nobody is going to believe in you until you have actually done something nobody believes in
00:02:51.760
you in the process of you doing it but once it becomes apparent that you're going to do it everybody
00:02:58.800
believes in you and everybody's proud of you and all of a sudden everybody comes out of the woodwork
00:03:04.000
and pretends like they've supported you the whole time and what's ironic is that when that happens you
00:03:09.840
no longer need their approval you look at them and you're like well where the fuck were you when i
00:03:14.560
was struggling i remember all the shit that you said i remember all these discouraging remarks
00:03:19.520
because they hurt and they stick so the first thing you need to understand is this is normal this is
00:03:26.000
what people deal with when they break the mold of what everybody else is doing and go out on their
00:03:32.480
own to build a better life to build a business to build a career to do whatever it is that you want
00:03:38.640
to do that is outside the norm of what your peer group has okay and these people as you go down
00:03:45.920
the path they're going to talk shit they're going to make fun they're going to say you can't do it
00:03:51.040
they're going to instill doubt okay that is normal shit every single person that has ever built anything
00:03:58.080
that you look up to drive down the road and look at all the businesses on the left side of the road
00:04:03.680
and all the businesses on the right side of the road scroll through the internet and look at all
00:04:08.880
the people that you admire every single one of those fucking people dealt with this thing that
00:04:16.000
we're talking about all right so you have to understand this is not personal this is just the
00:04:21.520
way it is and you guys get overly frustrated and emotional about it which is not the way that winners
00:04:28.400
think about this okay there is a distinct difference between how winners think about this and how losers
00:04:35.840
think about this losers will hear these things they will get frustrated they will get angry they will
00:04:42.560
get pissed off and then they will sit on the couch and sulk it will paralyze them they will say things to
00:04:48.640
themselves like oh well nobody believes in me i guess i can't do it they will say things like oh my friends and
00:04:56.320
family they don't even think that i'm any good well no shit man because you ain't any good you have to ask
00:05:01.840
yourself what have you done to earn the trust to earn the belief of the people around you you have to be
00:05:08.640
real about it you can't be idealistic about it you haven't done anything yet and the fact that you
00:05:14.480
haven't done anything your entire life is all the evidence that they have to go off of so when you sit there
00:05:20.320
and pout and you let these things paralyze you you're doing what losers do now winners do the exact
00:05:27.920
opposite they hear these things and they take them and they deposit them into their energy bank and they
00:05:35.680
understand that when people talk this shit they take these things and they put them into this bank of
00:05:44.400
negative energy and the minute that they get tired the minute that they get frustrated the minute they
00:05:50.320
feel like they shouldn't go on or can't go on they think about what these motherfuckers said and they
00:05:56.320
go up there and they pull the energy out of this negative energy bank and they get up immediately and use
00:06:03.040
that energy to productive action so what they're doing is they're taking what people are giving them
00:06:09.520
and they're using it to propel themselves forward versus the loser who hears this information and
00:06:16.720
lets it paralyze them this is the biggest difference between people who win and people who lose it's not
00:06:23.840
that people who win don't face any negativity it's not that people who win get to go down the path and
00:06:30.800
get a smooth sailing all the way to the finish line it's that people who win understand how to utilize
00:06:37.840
negativity doubt disbelief and shit talking to their advantage and once you figure this out once you
00:06:45.520
figure out how to take everybody else's words put them into action and shove them down their
00:06:50.960
motherfucking throat you will start to actually have gratitude for the times that people talk
00:06:58.000
shit all right and i know that's hard to believe because you think it hurts and you think it's painful and
00:07:03.040
you're like fuck i don't know if i can do it because so and so said that i couldn't do it what
00:07:07.920
the fuck has so and so done they haven't done shit either so are you going to sit there and listen to
00:07:13.360
these people who have never done a motherfucking thing tell you what's possible for you and sit on
00:07:18.720
your couch because they don't believe in you or are you going to say hey that little pussy over there is
00:07:24.560
talking shit and i'm going to show them what it actually looks like to take something and build
00:07:30.320
something and become something and create something all right that's the attitude that is the difference
00:07:37.040
winners have a fucking chip on their shoulder losers don't so learn this right now you are not being
00:07:44.000
singled out it is not personal you are not the only one with this hardship you are not the only one that
00:07:50.080
faces criticism you are not the only one that faces doubt you aren't the only one it is a natural
00:07:57.600
progression of going down the path that is outside the realm of normal for your peer group all right
00:08:05.600
every single successful person that you have ever dealt with or ever looked up to or ever admired has
00:08:12.000
faced this exact same challenge the only difference between them and you is that they understand how to
00:08:18.560
leverage it and they are actually thankful for when people give them that energy all right so start to
00:08:25.120
think of it this way when someone talks shit when someone doubts you when someone says you can't do
00:08:31.200
it when someone insults you or they laugh at you or they giggle at you take that shit personal use it
00:08:38.000
use it to get you off the couch use it to get you into motion and i can promise you if you can become
00:08:43.680
one of these people who can take all the energy and use it for productive action you cannot be
00:08:50.640
fucking stopped and when you become one of these people who cannot be fucking stopped you are unlimited
00:08:58.320
in your potential so now that dream that you have that vision that you have that goal that you have
00:09:04.160
in your mind for yourself your family and your life is literally impossible not to achieve okay you have to
00:09:12.080
keep this vision in mind because there's gonna be times where these people get you down there's gonna be
00:09:17.680
times where it still hurts you there's gonna be times where it frustrates you and it makes you angry
00:09:23.440
and as long as you can keep that vision at the forefront of your mind and learn how to leverage the
00:09:28.800
productive action you will get where you want to go and this is one of the biggest differences between
00:09:35.280
people who win and people who lose all right people who win take every bit of energy they have and they use it to
00:09:43.600
propel them forward towards that vision that they have had and developed and created for themselves
00:09:49.840
and people who lose hear this negativity and they let it crumble them they let it paralyze them and they
00:09:56.080
let it dilute the vision of what it is that they want to become and what ends up happening for these people
00:10:01.920
that lose once they dilute that vision they say okay well i can't be that ideal version of myself so i'm
00:10:08.880
going to make a lesser version that is maybe more realistic and then when people laugh at that
00:10:13.680
version then they reduce it even more and then people laugh at that version and then they reduce
00:10:18.880
it even more and they keep reducing who it is they want to be want to become want to create for themselves
00:10:24.960
back down to where they are currently and then they tell everybody this story about well this is this is
00:10:31.200
what i wanted for my life so they go from having this grand vision and they consistently reduce it based
00:10:37.840
upon what other people think about it until their vision fits their current present life and then
00:10:44.560
they pretend like they chose that life that is the ultimate loser shit when it comes to your life okay
00:10:52.480
don't let these motherfuckers dilute your vision don't let these people get you off track take every
00:10:58.160
motherfucking word that they say to you and you use it to become that vision there is no bigger
00:11:03.920
fuck you than actually doing what it is you said you were going to do and then walking in the room
00:11:09.680
and having everybody know that they were fucking wrong and you'll know that they know they were wrong
00:11:16.080
because they'll look at the motherfucking floor the minute you walk in the room
00:11:20.800
went from sleeping on the floor now my jewelry box froze
00:11:24.160
