00:06:18.480
like do you remember seeing anybody wear them joe i don't i don't either but then there's these
00:06:24.080
pictures on the internet that show up of people wearing them like what where does come from yeah
00:06:28.400
what's sorcery glitch in the matrix that's what it is yeah sweet well guys andy let's uh let's make
00:06:35.600
some people better let's do it let's do it we got uh got three good ones for you all right i do i
00:06:40.620
promise guys andy question number one andy uh what's up andy and dj i'm 18 years old and i'm a
00:06:47.260
future entrepreneur i want to ask you how you deal with laziness because you have said you're one of
00:06:53.560
the laziest people you know in a previous episode and i'm like that too even though i work out every day
00:06:58.740
and do what i need to do but a lot of times i just feel lazy and procrastinate for no reason how do
00:07:04.940
you deal with this um and do you have some tips for me i hate that i'm asking this question because
00:07:09.260
i feel like the answer is you just do it and just stop procrastinating but um i guess i'm hoping that
00:07:14.640
you have a different perspective or way of dealing with it how do we handle laziness andy well first of
00:07:19.720
all being lazy is not a terrible thing uh and i know you're probably like what the fuck is he talking
00:07:26.280
about but here i'll tell you why i'll tell you why because lazy people have a gift for figuring out
00:07:32.760
how to get things done without having to put a whole lot of effort into it all right so they are
00:07:38.220
natural problem solvers which makes them very effective yeah all right so i never thought about
00:07:44.300
it like that that's real no it's true a lot of the most effective people are super lazy because they
00:07:48.820
just want to get up get the shit done and go back to what they were doing so it's not a terrible thing
00:07:53.300
as long as you can get up and get the thing done right so don't beat yourself up over that i i find that
00:07:59.000
most most of the most successful entrepreneurs are contrary to what the internet will tell you they
00:08:08.940
are they are actually pretty inherently lazy people that have figured out how to be disciplined in
00:08:14.060
certain actions and they understand the more effective they are the more time they get to
00:08:18.840
themselves to do whatever they want to do this is part of why the power list is such a good tool
00:08:22.960
for you guys uh which you can get for free at episode 16 on the real af feed
00:08:27.460
because it teaches people to execute versus be busy all right we have this situation and culture
00:08:37.820
where everybody wants to talk about how busy they are you know it's almost like a natural response for
00:08:43.260
people people will say well how you doing oh my god i'm so busy and it's like dude there's no award
00:08:50.140
for that there's no reward for that there's no trophy for that it's just something that people say
00:08:55.960
to try to get people to like have empathy or sympathy for them and the truth of the matter is
00:09:02.160
is that no one gives a fuck about how busy you are they care about what you actually get done what
00:09:06.580
result you produce no one really says unless it's a very low level job how many hours did you put in
00:09:12.240
today really what they say is did you get this shit done was it done at a high level that's what they
00:09:16.160
care about that's what the the real world cares about so contrary to what most of these dumb asses
00:09:22.420
on the internet will tell you you don't have to work 30 hours out of 24 it's that hustle that hustle
00:09:28.800
mentality that the that these guys push is not true at all these guys haven't built shit they're
00:09:35.680
repeating shit they think they have heard from some dude on the internet they don't own real businesses
00:09:41.100
they don't they they sell you coaching this isn't real shit okay real people wake up and they say how do
00:09:47.700
i get my shit done that's going to move me forward and how do i get it done as quickly as possible so
00:09:51.900
i can still live a life because most people want to have what's called balance they chase balance right
00:09:58.360
well the only way to have balance is to get your shit done and then have some time left over to do
00:10:02.840
what you want and that's what the power list allows you to do it allows you to get five critical tasks
00:10:09.100
that are going to move you forward done every single day um and then the rest of the time after that you
00:10:14.380
get to do what you want so you don't have to do what these morons say on the internet at all it's
00:10:21.320
not even true it's not even true a little bit because now if it takes you a long time to get
00:10:26.380
things done that's one thing but there's no award for that so the quicker you can get them done at a
00:10:32.780
high level the more free time you have and how it works is is when you have low skill in the beginning
00:10:38.340
you've got to put more time in to get the task done but as you develop skill it requires less
00:10:45.080
time to get the task done which creates more time for balance so in the beginning yeah you might have
00:10:50.180
to put in a lot of extra time to master a skill set but as you get older and as you get more
00:10:54.920
experienced your ability to execute gets better which means it takes less time which means you have
00:11:01.180
more free time now true winners people who go down in the hall of fame of whatever they do
00:11:06.320
they will fill that free time with more skill building and progress even faster and higher but
00:11:13.460
that's not required to just be successful that's required if you want to be a fucking legend okay so
00:11:19.840
there's levels to it so think about it like that but there is a hack for this okay if you are a lazy
00:11:27.180
person one of the things you need to do is you need to go listen to episode 16 you need to start
00:11:31.920
using the power list every single day and the second thing you need to do is you need to learn
00:11:36.580
that there's such a thing as called a production pivot all right and what a production pivot is is
00:11:42.920
it's like this all right let's say one of your things is to uh work out every day and you work a
00:11:48.940
job and you work hard every day and you get home and you're like fuck i work so hard and you start to
00:11:53.960
lay down on the couch and then you're like fuck i still need to work out and what most people do is
00:12:00.020
most people will just lay there and they'll start justifying and they'll say well i'll get up tomorrow
00:12:04.000
and train twice as hard or i'll do it in a couple hours or you know i worked a really hard day so
00:12:10.840
i'm gonna give myself a day off and we'll just pick it up tomorrow and that's where most people do and
00:12:15.660
then they do that their whole life and then they can't produce anything that they really want
00:12:18.940
so what you have to learn to do is you have to learn to pay attention to your internal dialogue
00:12:23.260
that when you start to convince yourself that you don't want to do it for whatever reason right
00:12:28.460
uh i'll do it tomorrow uh i work too hard today or whatever justification you have going on in your
00:12:34.260
mind you need to use that as the immediate trigger that pushes you from the couch to the thing and
00:12:41.400
then get the thing done and then you can go back to the couch okay and that's what successful people
00:12:44.980
do successful people take the justification dialogue and they use that as a trigger to move towards
00:12:51.940
the action that their internal dialogue is trying to talk them out of all right so those are the
00:12:57.540
things that you can do um and by the way as you acquire more discipline you know i would obviously
00:13:05.380
recommend the 75 hard program the live hard program as a lifestyle to lead um that will make you an
00:13:11.280
effective human that will get you acclimated to being effective and that's the last thing the last
00:13:16.640
thing is is once you get in the habit of being a diligent effective person the laziness sort of
00:13:24.300
becomes irrelevant because it doesn't matter what you do when you're not doing the thing
00:13:28.400
all right like i lay on the couch at night i don't do shit all right but i still get more done than most
00:13:34.560
people do uh in one day than most people do in a month all right because i'm getting them done
00:13:39.720
very diligently very specifically task by task by task by task and then when those are done those five tasks
00:13:46.420
i don't try to do 15 because i want to feel good about the five i got done a lot of you guys will
00:13:51.380
say well i'll do 15 well yeah you won't accomplish 15 and when you don't accomplish 15 you're going to
00:13:56.460
say well i didn't accomplish my goals for the day which drives your confidence down your belief down
00:14:00.360
your ability to execute uh and and your doubt goes goes down okay your doubt goes up your ability
00:14:06.320
to execute goes down so when we're in a situation where you start to get acclimated to the discipline
00:14:13.720
the laziness becomes irrelevant like you can be lazy and still get wherever you're trying to go as
00:14:20.720
long as you have the systems and the discipline to do so so that's what i would recommend i'd recommend
00:14:25.460
listening to the powerless episode episode 16 i'd recommend living the live hard program which is
00:14:31.880
episode 208 i'd recommend learning how to production pivot and then i and then i would recommend
00:14:36.780
you understanding that your mindset of laziness is actually a fertile soil for effective ideas to
00:14:47.220
take place because people that are lazy are always looking for ways to make things easier and as long
00:14:53.640
as you can make things easier without losing the quality of work or the effectiveness of the result
00:14:58.960
that actually makes you pretty valuable when it comes to innovating so there's benefits that come
00:15:04.040
from a lazy mindset if you're inherently lazy i am an inherently lazy person if i didn't have that
00:15:09.400
structure or i didn't work on my discipline or i didn't use the production pivot it would be very
00:15:14.200
hard for me to get things done and honestly i spent most of my life being uh a very lazy person that had
00:15:21.100
a hard time uh getting things done and it wasn't until i was you know around 30 years old where i started
00:15:27.460
to figure it out it wasn't until i was like 35 36 to where i really figured it out and had i figured all
00:15:32.760
this out when i was 20 um i would have been where i'm at now when i was 30 so you know if you can
00:15:38.540
learn these things it can make a big difference now let me ask you this too though because because
00:15:42.140
i feel i feel like most people you know they call themselves lazy but they're really just
00:15:50.200
procrastinating they're just holding shit off yeah what can we dive into that unveil that a little bit
00:15:55.480
like what do you think most people what do you think is the number one reason most people just
00:15:59.500
procrastinate on shit and and and because procrastination can't be a good thing well
00:16:04.440
let's be real dude most people don't know what it's like to achieve anything most people don't
00:16:09.340
know what it's like to finish anything most people have never done anything of relevance ever so if
00:16:15.360
you don't know of what it feels like to accomplish something what motivation do you really have to
00:16:20.800
accomplish anything and if you go years and years and years and years and years of never accomplishing
00:16:25.840
anything what's your frame of mindset about that it's that oh well you know i'm okay i'm alive my
00:16:32.180
life is all right it doesn't really matter and you start to accept that as reality that starts uh with
00:16:38.100
procrastination and then moves into the the mindset of acceptance right like oh i know i need to do this
00:16:43.980
but i'm gonna do this instead or i'm just gonna wait here i'm gonna do this later and then you know
00:16:49.460
that goes on for years and after a number of years people like well it doesn't really matter
00:16:53.100
anyway that's what i used to want to do now i'm just happy doing this and they settle for a life
00:16:57.680
that is far less than what they would want in the first place so when we think about procrastination
00:17:04.900
and how to overcome it it's the same thing as what i was talking about with the production pivot
00:17:09.120
all right the minute you start to tell yourself oh i'll do that tomorrow or i'll do that later or i'll
00:17:14.800
do that next week or i'll make that call later i'll send that email later or i'll you know get up and
00:17:19.680
do that workout later that's the production pivot that's the time that you pay attention to that you
00:17:26.060
hear in your mind and you say oh fuck all right well i'm gonna do that right now and that's what
00:17:31.040
winners do winners execute at it's not like they're immune to it dude that's the thing i think a lot of
00:17:36.900
people think that people who win big are immune to having any sort of thoughts of procrastination
00:17:42.940
all these people that you look up to every single one of them battles this all the time they just
00:17:49.580
know how to overcome it in the moment and that's what you have to teach yourself to do i think a lot
00:17:55.060
of people because of the fake internet culture on the internet they believe that all these people
00:18:00.440
never deal with thoughts like of procrastination or laziness you know if we go on the internet and
00:18:06.380
we look at every tom dick and harry on the internet they all tell you you know oh dude i'm the
00:18:11.600
baddest motherfucker alive i get up fucking the day before yesterday that's when i started my day
00:18:16.540
right that's the shit they say they say all this crazy shit and people who have tendencies of laziness
00:18:23.060
or people who have tendencies of procrastination are like well i'm fucked i don't i can't fucking do that
00:18:28.260
right and the truth of the matter is that's not true every single person out here who's built
00:18:33.880
anything gets tired they get frustrated they get angry they get demoralized they get lazy they
00:18:41.820
procrastinate and the whole thing that you have to understand is that all of those things are normal
00:18:46.680
but how do you overcome them to still get where you want to go and that comes down to you understanding
00:18:52.100
and you hearing your internal dialogue and then doing the opposite of what it actually tells you to do
00:18:59.000
until you get the positive internal dialogue which is called the boss voice which is if you check out
00:19:05.180
75 hard you'll understand what that means until that voice starts to take over you do the opposite
00:19:10.760
of what the weak voice the bitch voice says okay and it's that simple when it says oh we'll do that
00:19:16.700
tomorrow get the fuck up and go kick ass right now and that it comes down to that man i love it i love
00:19:22.960
it guys uh andy question number two uh andy you've mentioned many times uh that you wanted to quit
00:19:29.200
a lot but you just never did can you give us some insight on what was the closest you ever came to
00:19:36.320
legitimately quitting and why you didn't um and how did you pivot during that time to move forward and
00:19:42.280
get your head back in the game well i would say out of all the times i've wanted to quit um we were
00:19:50.440
about 10 years in on the company and chris and i both decided we we we basically had an idea for
00:19:57.760
first form that was just starting and then we had a bunch of stores that weren't making any money
00:20:02.240
and we both decided that you know this was never going to work out and we need to start looking at
00:20:07.400
other options and remember we were closer to 30 years old then we were like oh man we got to get
00:20:12.420
our shit together you know we're getting old everybody you know all our friends were having kids
00:20:15.960
and doing all these things and so we felt that pressure and so we started looking at things to
00:20:21.920
do and chris was going to go to officer candidate school to be a pilot in the military and i didn't
00:20:28.320
really know what i was going to do so my dad and i decided that we were going to try to buy this sears
00:20:33.240
carpet cleaning franchise and um i went to training in columbus ohio and ended up getting hurt and i
00:20:43.280
hurt my back and i was in bed for nearly 30 days and during those 30 days you know chris and i were
00:20:49.480
the conversation started on the phone of how are we going to close the stores and move on and by the
00:20:54.960
end of that 30 days we had made conversations like fuck dude i don't really want to clean carpets that
00:20:59.500
sucks and he's like yeah i don't want to go do all this and so we actually had changed our mind
00:21:05.740
and started talking about what we liked about what we did and what we liked about what we did was
00:21:14.060
when we worked with people sometimes accidentally we would spend an hour or two with someone because
00:21:20.920
we weren't busy we didn't have a lot of customers and so people would come in and we would spend time
00:21:26.000
getting to know them we would spend time listening to them we would spend time actually helping them
00:21:29.400
and then they would come in months later you know down 40 50 60 100 pounds in tears right being i'm so
00:21:37.040
thankful and so grateful that we helped them figure out how to get themselves on track and that was
00:21:42.720
awesome dude like that was one of the coolest things that was the coolest things um about what
00:21:48.180
we did when those situations happened and we had the conversation on the phone about that we were
00:21:55.560
kind of like well what do we like what do we don't like well i like this i like this too well let's
00:22:01.240
start trying to replicate that okay and so we shifted from a company that was trying to just sell shit
00:22:07.280
to a company that was trying to help people get results and dude right after that our company exploded
00:22:13.540
so that was the probably the closest to where i was going to quit and what it the reason i didn't
00:22:20.920
was because i didn't want to do what i was going to do after that and i i figured out what i liked
00:22:27.300
about what i was doing and i remember what i liked about what i was doing and then i just committed to
00:22:31.320
doing more than more of that and uh that brought us through that time would you say that like that
00:22:37.620
that's that would be true for most people like i feel like most people find themselves in times where
00:22:43.040
all right this this just isn't fucking working right but then like would you say that it's true like if you
00:22:48.980
just if you just look at the situation differently it's highly possible you can actually push through
00:22:55.660
this if you if you set your i think most people i think most people get in that frustrated state
00:23:02.580
now remember i was doing that for 10 years at that time or nine or 10 years okay so i've been doing this
00:23:08.760
for a long time this wasn't like like two or three this wasn't like i was here for six months and
00:23:12.700
this isn't for me or i'm here for two years and i'm not a millionaire yet that that's not what this
00:23:18.380
was this was 10 years of struggle now remember we didn't have anybody invested in us we didn't have
00:23:23.340
social media ads we didn't have the internet the way that it is today like it was a lot different and
00:23:29.160
it was a lot fucking harder to grow business back then so like we were burnt bro and we had given it
00:23:35.640
our best shot we thought and when we re-evaluated how we were doing things we realized that we were
00:23:44.500
doing things the wrong way we were trying to sell instead of trying to serve and when we started
00:23:50.100
trying to serve because we had accidentally done that enough times to recognize that we like that
00:23:56.000
result the best that's when things change for us and so i think that most people if you would just
00:24:01.240
take a minute to step back and say what am i doing here why am i doing this why did i start this what
00:24:07.020
am i trying to accomplish and you actually keep that shit in mind yeah i think it does help you push
00:24:12.300
through because there's going to be a million times when you are frustrated angry doubtful want to quit
00:24:19.820
that you have to push through so you have to be able to step back and say hey i'm just frustrated
00:24:24.560
this is a bad time for me i still love what i do what do i love about it i love this part of it and
00:24:30.040
then you have to lean into doing that part of it which helps pull you through the hard times and
00:24:34.400
usually helps you make a lot more money too is it fair to say that i mean you can pretty much be
00:24:39.800
successful like in any line that you're in if you're just doing the shit the right way for long
00:24:44.680
enough i mean is that really the i mean obviously there's things that can't scale up or there's
00:24:49.460
like for example like if you're a tattoo artist right you're trading your time for money yeah okay
00:24:56.560
so your only opportunity to really scale out is to get so good that you could charge a bunch of money
00:25:03.140
but then you're still limited you see what i'm saying so then you have to look at okay can i open
00:25:08.320
shops can i do this can i do that anytime you stay in the zone of trading your time for money
00:25:14.520
that's where you start to cap yourself okay so you have to figure out how can i scale this out
00:25:19.820
how can i get better how can i improve and that's the only situation that i would say
00:25:25.860
where you have to think a little bit differently um about how you're going to move forward but yeah
00:25:31.800
in most situations dude uh you know this is gonna this is gonna help you get through yeah so
00:25:37.080
basically what you're saying is you and chris were able to keep pushing through and move forward
00:25:40.560
on this because the other option that you had on the table was was shit so much worse yeah and that's
00:25:46.220
the other thing to consider it's like what are you going to do if you quit okay a lot of people quit
00:25:50.800
whatever they're trying to do in some sort of emotional state right they get emotional they get
00:25:56.160
frustrated for a month or two and then they quit without even having a plan of what they're going to
00:26:01.040
do and then six months a year later they're like fuck why did i quit that why did i fuck off there
00:26:08.320
why did i get let go from that place why did i allow myself to do that i had five years in there
00:26:13.280
i had three years in there i had this and this is how people get in these binds dude where they can't
00:26:18.220
get out of it right they get in the hamster wheel they go three years at a thing then they change
00:26:23.560
things and then they go three years at a new thing and then they change things and then they go
00:26:27.640
three years at a new thing and then they change things again you can't get anywhere in three
00:26:32.980
fucking years that's going to be relevant to you and your dreams that's the reality it takes way
00:26:38.620
longer than that and so i think most people fall in this trap of getting a little bit burnt out
00:26:45.320
getting a little bit emotional and then thinking the answer is to totally change up their life and
00:26:50.080
sometimes it might be but you only have once or twice where you can really get away with that
00:26:55.220
because you're running out of time and when you're young you don't understand that you only
00:26:59.660
have limited time so when you're in your 20s if you go three years three years three years three years
00:27:05.440
all of a sudden i'm 34 fucking years old you see what i'm saying so now you're like fuck i really am
00:27:11.760
running out of time so dude you have to be able to say hey i'm committing to this this is the path i'm
00:27:17.000
taking i'm going to do this no matter what and i'm going to push through and make it happen and if
00:27:22.260
there is no future there for real then it would take some re-evaluation but as long as there's a
00:27:28.660
future there yeah bro it's you have to learn how to push through because it's never going to be fun
00:27:34.180
every day i think that's one of the biggest lies it's told about business you know nobody gets on
00:27:39.660
there who's successful and says yeah some days i really want to quit except me i'm the only fucking
00:27:44.680
guy that says that everybody else comes on and they posture and they want you to think they're
00:27:49.000
superheroes i never quit i work 24 hours a day okay well you must not be very good at what you
00:27:55.900
do if you got to work 24 hours a day you know what i'm saying um and they tell these these younger
00:28:01.020
people this and younger people are like well fuck i just can't do it i can't hang i'm not you know
00:28:05.560
and they're and and what's crazy is these influencers are telling people this for their own ego
00:28:10.100
they want people to see him as a superhero instead of actually helping people so yeah that's real shit
00:28:16.140
yeah that's real guys andy our third and final question question number three uh good morning
00:28:22.120
evening or afternoon to your fellows first and foremost uh thank you dj for coaching me uh at
00:28:27.600
your time at st mary's uh my name is key i stumbled upon this show around this time last year uh the
00:28:33.820
mental fortitude the lessons and the desire to win that i have right now started from you guys my
00:28:39.520
question is for both you dj and you andy uh when it comes to having to make your dreams a reality
00:28:44.920
what are the one or two crucial things that a person has to have uh in no matter what industry
00:28:52.700
is it routine is it work ethic is it consistency discipline effort which of these should stand out
00:28:59.700
the most and hit hard um so that the average person can become the person love what you guys do and
00:29:05.040
just know the black community is with y'all andy for president 2028 oh he speaks for the whole black
00:29:10.100
community huh apparently yeah well you know the board there's a couple of us on the board you on
00:29:14.940
the board too yeah all right are you like a junior board member are you like on a big board i'm like
00:29:20.420
i got like a 30 percent stake all right all right all right dude easy easy answer dude the most important
00:29:28.560
thing that you have to have is the ability to execute when you don't feel like it which is otherwise
00:29:35.840
known as discipline everybody thinks it's about motivation everybody thinks it's about feeling
00:29:42.060
like i'm so powerful and i want to go run everybody over today yeah that comes and goes but what about
00:29:48.200
when it's not there okay so being able to execute when you don't feel like it when you are tired when
00:29:54.940
you are doubtful when you are frustrated when you would rather do anything else than do the thing
00:30:00.920
is a superpower because 99.9 percent of people lack the ability to do that so if everyone else can't do
00:30:10.760
it but you can think about how much further ahead that puts you over the course of your life
00:30:15.460
a normal person who works you know monday tuesday wednesday and then goes to happy hour on thursday
00:30:23.560
then goes out friday night fucks off on saturday they don't these people can't understand why other
00:30:31.760
people get there but when you break the math down and you say okay there's that lifestyle then there's
00:30:37.960
this other guy this guy executes every single day he gets his five tasks done seven days a week and by
00:30:45.420
the way he doesn't have to wait till his weekend to have some time off because he gets a little time
00:30:49.560
off every day because he's become very effective at getting his five critical tasks done that guy
00:30:55.000
over the course of five years 10 years ends up opening a gap over everybody else that is insurmountable
00:31:02.100
because time is always diminishing so when you think about what skill can you build that will give
00:31:08.640
you an advantage over every single other human on the planet because i am in a competition with other
00:31:14.380
humans for those placings and you are it is discipline and the ability to adhere to a plan
00:31:21.140
where would you be in your life right now if all the plans you ever made for yourself in the past you
00:31:30.120
had executed on without fail stop and think about that for no matter where you are no matter how old you
00:31:36.380
are stop and think right now if i had executed on the plans i made in the past a hundred percent with
00:31:44.620
a hundred percent effectiveness where would i be currently and think about that okay because most
00:31:51.940
people would be in a completely different place living a completely different life and the reason they
00:31:57.500
aren't in that completely different place living that complete different life is because they don't
00:32:02.580
have the ability to adhere to a plan that is where it's at it's not that people don't know what to
00:32:08.660
do it's that they can't fucking do it when they don't feel motivated so if you're going to ask me what
00:32:14.100
i think a superpower skill is it's always going to come down to discipline grit mental toughness fortitude
00:32:22.180
the ability to push through when you don't feel like it which is the entire reason for the existence
00:32:28.180
of the live hard program all right and if you haven't done that you can get it for free to episode
00:32:33.060
208 it is a lifestyle program that helps you develop the skills that we're talking about right here which
00:32:39.540
gives you a tremendous advantage over everybody else it's not just about getting lean it's not just about
00:32:45.060
getting in shape yes you will get shape however you will learn this skill in a way that other people
00:32:53.060
will never have it and when you possess that and they don't how the fuck can they compete yeah yeah
00:32:59.940
i feel like most people they look at something like discipline as more of a an actual like character
00:33:06.500
trait rather than something that gets built for sure right and so like what's the it's a skill yeah
00:33:12.020
what's the dynamic there and then like just like simple i mean like how how do you build discipline man
00:33:16.740
well you build discipline by practicing discipline you build patience by practicing patience
00:33:21.940
okay these things are things that you have to build most people including me have always thought
00:33:28.820
that discipline was a trait you look at people who can who can stick to a diet you look at people who
00:33:34.660
constantly get their stuff done who keep themselves in great shape who seem to have it all together
00:33:39.300
you're like fuck why didn't i get that why did he get that why didn't i get that but the truth is
00:33:44.660
you did get it you just haven't developed it yet and so you have to switch your framework from
00:33:49.460
looking at these things as like traits or gifts they got that you didn't get into these are skills
00:33:55.460
that they invested in that you haven't yet all right so when we think of discipline grit fortitude
00:34:01.780
perseverance self-belief self-confidence okay these are things that you build and you build them day in
00:34:09.860
and day out by sticking to what you say you're going to do which allows you to build trust and belief
00:34:16.580
in your ability to adhere all right that is the entire live hard program that's
00:34:21.540
what the purpose is of it because most people don't have that most people don't have the ability
00:34:26.980
or the understanding that discipline is a skill set when you tell them this and they have never
00:34:32.500
experienced it before they're like that's that's not true i know this guy he was born that way
00:34:38.420
no you don't you haven't you didn't see what he did behind closed doors you don't see the way that
00:34:43.060
he works when you're not there you don't see the things that they do you don't know what happened
00:34:47.780
in the past to help them develop that skill set most people are never born with that maybe they're
00:34:52.660
around parents that are routine discipline maybe they had a sport they played that taught that to
00:34:57.140
them but these people picked it up along the way they weren't just born with it and you weren't
00:35:01.380
born without it you just haven't put the investment into creating that and once you figure out
00:35:06.100
that discipline grit fortitude mental toughness you know all of these things are skills that you
00:35:13.300
have to polish and invest in that are perishable and what that means is is when you stop polishing
00:35:18.900
them and you stop investing in them they go your ability goes down once you start to understand that
00:35:24.580
the game changes because now you know that if you make the investment in these areas of skill
00:35:31.140
they go up and you become more effective so it's really a game changer for people to change the
00:35:36.980
framework from these are things that people were born with to these are things that they developed
00:35:42.660
and i can develop them too and you can millions of people have done this this is how it works so it's
00:35:49.060
a skill it's not a trait i love it man i love it guys andy those three yep go pay the fee
00:35:55.300
we're from sleeping on the floor now my jewelry box froze
00:35:59.860
fuck a pole fucker stole counted millions in the code bad bitch booted swole got her on bank road
