00:04:45.020 yeah definitely wrong but um yeah man well let's make some people better today let's uh let's do

00:04:51.580 that let's see what we can get done here i got three good ones for you yeah let's knock these out i'm

00:04:55.860 shocked uh guys andy question number one uh andy is being a quote-unquote hard worker a skill or a

00:05:07.820 trait i've always felt like i've always took my time and took the slow and steady approach to deliver

00:05:13.920 quality work i feel like the i'm a hard worker gets overused a lot and it's associated with like

00:05:20.520 balls to the wall and or speed and quickness so can you give us some insight what is the proper

00:05:26.720 definition of a hard worker um what does that really mean and uh how do you not fuck it up

00:05:32.520 well do you think michelangelo worked hard on the sculpture of david

00:05:39.180 do you think do you think he worked hard i think he worked hard and long okay did do you think

00:05:45.160 that he worked hard uh to paint the ceiling of the sistine chapel do you think that was hard work

00:05:52.120 yeah do you think he did it fast no no he was just diligent he showed up every day he did what he

00:05:59.460 needed to do he did it at a high level and he's highly skilled okay so you have to understand hard work

00:06:09.360 doesn't mean speed it also doesn't mean slow it means i'm showing up i'm relentlessly giving my

00:06:18.060 best effort to produce my best product all right and there is a speed factor there right like if

00:06:24.260 you're a hard worker and you produce a good product but other people produce as good of a product and

00:06:28.680 half the time they're better than you that's a higher skill set all right so hard work is the

00:06:34.060 prerequisite it is the foundation you will never find a successful person that doesn't have that

00:06:40.340 as their foundation they show up every single day they give it everything they have they do diligent

00:06:45.800 work which means they put in massive amounts of effort at a high level they're consistent with that

00:06:51.020 now there's lots of people that work hard that never ever ever become successful financially

00:06:59.340 because they don't apply an in-demand skill to the hard work all right there's lots of people

00:07:07.140 that work really hard digging ditches every day and that are digging ditches when they're 70 years old

00:07:12.540 there's lots of people who work really really hard for a long time and never make it and that's

00:07:19.040 because working hard is just part of the puzzle the other part of the puzzle is how high your skill set

00:07:26.440 is how developed your skill set is and so we have these people that say these things like

00:07:31.860 work smart not hard all right well you're a fucking moron all right i'm going to tell you that right now

00:07:38.280 because it takes both it takes hard work and it takes smart work so while you have to be putting in

00:07:47.120 the work and you have to be showing up and you have to be giving it all you have you have to consistently

00:07:51.860 be aware and conscious of the intentional skill set that you are building along the way if you do

00:07:59.080 not have the skill set and you just work hard you're going to get paid a fraction of what you could get

00:08:05.260 paid if you actually intentionally built skills to go along with it and so because people usually learn

00:08:13.420 most of what they learn from their parents from their teachers from their aunts from their uncles

00:08:17.920 and because most people grow up in a very uh you know regular environment they're not surrounded by

00:08:25.080 successful people they're not surrounded by people who have actually built things they don't really

00:08:29.500 even know anybody in real life that has actually built things it's very hard for them to understand

00:08:34.780 that their parents and their aunts and their uncles who haven't done anything don't know that much

00:08:40.480 about how to become successful at doing things because they haven't done that all right so we end up

00:08:45.620 listening to our family and our in our immediate circle our immediate network of people about what

00:08:52.300 it actually takes and what usually comes out of those conversations from the old people is oh man

00:08:59.200 you know you can work as hard as you want but the system's still going to be the system and you're not

00:09:02.860 going to get ahead they don't care about you blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and the reality is is

00:09:07.780 those people will probably gave it their all for a little bit five ten years maybe but they didn't work on

00:09:13.400 developing their skill set they weren't intentional about becoming better they believe that if they

00:09:17.800 just show up and they give it their effort that eventually things will materialize and when those

00:09:22.340 things don't materialize they get bitter and they get pissed off and they start blaming other people

00:09:27.080 they blame their job they blame their situation they blame capitalism they make up all these excuses

00:09:32.940 as to why they're not getting where they want to get when in reality they're just missing part of the

00:09:37.100 equation and the reason that they don't know about the part of the equation about gaining skill

00:09:41.380 as you put in the hard work is because nobody around them ever did that all right so how do

00:09:46.020 you know something that nobody around you knows it's very difficult so we have to like reframe our

00:09:52.820 thinking about these statements it's not just hard work and it's not just smart work it's both and if

00:09:59.220 you lack both you're going to be paid very little and if you have both you're eventually going to be

00:10:05.140 able to write your own check in life of where you want to go you know it's interesting man because i think

00:10:09.940 you know when you were talking about this it's like i have this image in my head of just somebody

00:10:13.380 that's just spinning their wheels uh-huh like the wheels are fucking moving there is an output of some

00:10:18.580 type of energy but like you're not going anywhere right and i feel like most people like that's an

00:10:24.580 innate fear that they have is like i'm gonna do this and not do the work but then we're dishonest about

00:10:30.500 the actual work that we're putting in yeah oh yeah you know i'm saying can we talk a little bit about

00:10:34.500 that yeah i mean look dude that's an honest fear most people have look man most people drastically

00:10:40.580 overestimate the amount of work that they do that's just the way it is you know this is a cultural

00:10:45.860 phenomenon all right everybody wants to brag about how hard they work everybody wants to brag about how

00:10:52.820 busy they are but the reality is is that success doesn't give a how busy you are

00:10:58.420 it cares about how effective you are okay and if you're effective at a lot of because you work hard

00:11:04.900 and you have high skill you're going to get further in life this shouldn't take much logic to figure out

00:11:10.740 you're working hard you have a a c plus skill set okay you're going to get somewhere you're working

00:11:18.340 hard you have a plus skill set you're going to get 10 times further in half the time all right this is

00:11:23.780 what people don't understand so yeah you have to be honest about what you're putting in which most

00:11:28.420 people aren't honest with themselves about anything most people look in the mirror and they're you know

00:11:33.780 350 pounds and i know this because this was me and they say they don't say hey you're a fat fuck you

00:11:39.780 need to change they say you know they suck in their gut and they look from the side and they're like

00:11:44.180 you know i look all right i'm good i just wear this black shirt you know it'll cover me up you know uh

00:11:50.180 and then they live their life that way they live their life lying telling themselves that they're

00:11:54.580 good when they aren't good and then they get mad about the results that they fail to produce and

00:11:59.300 this is a big problem dude and another thing is i noticed this with especially young people and

00:12:04.100 really it's not even it's not a fair i guess it's not a fair thing to say especially young people

00:12:08.020 because i think it's all people most people have very tough time understanding that success and winning

00:12:16.580 is something that you have to seize you have to take it it's not something that is going to come

00:12:21.940 to you all right like if you want to raise you think you're worth more you have to figure out how

00:12:26.660 to prove that to the people above you and go sell yourself and have a conversation hey steve i did this

00:12:33.140 i did this i did this i did this i did this i i feel like i'm worth a little bit more money or this

00:12:38.180 is what i think is fair like you have to and people don't even do that right like people won't even have

00:12:43.300 that conversation because they don't have the evidence and what they end up doing is they end

00:12:47.700 up quitting places and they say oh that place sucked no you sucked you sucked that place didn't

00:12:54.260 suck at all you didn't even have the courage to go up and ask how you could get better you didn't

00:12:59.380 have the courage to go up and say hey what do i need to do to get here because this is where i'd

00:13:04.340 like to be you didn't even have that you just stop whatever you're doing you go on the internet you

00:13:09.540 type up some bullshit victim pussy shit about oh i'm gonna go fucked by this place or you know

00:13:15.860 another place blah blah blah taking a bro fuck off okay there's millions and millions and millions and

00:13:22.420 millions and millions of tens of millions of people who have accomplished what it is that you're trying

00:13:27.300 to accomplish who come from harder places worse places more difficult places than you and we have

00:13:34.020 a society and the truth is people don't want to hear this but it is true we have a society of

00:13:39.220 completely soft marshmallow motherfuckers okay they're not successful in any area of their life

00:13:45.460 they're not fit they're not mentally fit they're not good at their work they're not good in relationships

00:13:51.140 but somehow it's everybody else's fault that they suck bro look in the mirror bro look at your life

00:13:58.020 look at the decisions you're making look at the work you're putting in tell yourself the truth and the

00:14:03.060 answer will become apparent and once you tell yourself the truth you are now free to change

00:14:08.980 the situation but people are so afraid of the truth and they're so afraid of confronting themselves

00:14:14.500 with things that might hurt their ego that they continue to lie they continue to tell fairy tales

00:14:20.740 and at the end of their life nothing has materialized and they can't figure out why so i got

00:14:26.340 screwed or it just didn't work out for me or it was god's plan for me to be a loser no it wasn't

00:14:31.300 that was your plan that's a result of your actions i love it i love it man guys any question number two

00:14:38.660 uh hey andy i am 25 and i am building my insurance book for business uh from scratch

00:14:45.940 i feel like i have glimpses of when i am hyper focused on my goals and then days and even weeks

00:14:52.020 when i feel like i am not even when i am doing my power list i still feel that i am not 100 focused and

00:15:00.020 feel like every little thing distracts me and gets me off path is this a discipline problem

00:15:06.340 or do i need to do a better job at eliminating things that knock me off path thank you for all

00:15:11.060 you do how do you maintain that focus is that is that discipline um or do you need to be trying to

00:15:15.940 figure out what's happening around you well look first of all you have to understand that discipline

00:15:20.740 doesn't imply that it's going to be easy discipline implies that it's going to get done even when you

00:15:26.100 don't feel like it so there's a lot of times when you're exercising high levels of discipline

00:15:30.820 that you're like i don't want to be doing this it's extremely hard i'd rather be doing other things

00:15:36.820 i'm not really focused on this but the thing gets done regardless because of the discipline so just

00:15:42.420 because it's hard doesn't mean you don't have discipline discipline is required to do the things

00:15:49.220 that are hard when you don't feel like doing them that doesn't mean they're going to feel less hard

00:15:52.980 it just means they're still going to get done and if you take inventory of your life and everything

00:15:57.540 you ever told yourself you wanted to be and you go back in time and you say what if i had been able

00:16:04.020 to adhere to the plan i laid out in front of my path for me to get where i wanted to go

00:16:11.300 and i had stuck to that no matter what what would my life look like now what would my life look like

00:16:16.660 if every single time i told myself i was going to get in great shape i actually followed through the

00:16:21.460 first time what would my life look like if all the times i told myself i was going to take my

00:16:26.820 career more seriously i just did that the first time where would i be now right it's a life-changing

00:16:33.060 skill set being able to have high discipline that does not mean that it's easy you can't look at someone

00:16:40.340 who is constantly it's almost insulting to look at someone who is constantly working hard and think that

00:16:47.220 it's easy for them to work hard it's not easy bro i struggle every day i'm so dude i am so physically

00:16:54.820 sore every day like i don't want to lift weights i don't want to do i could barely i'm dude i'm i'm

00:17:00.820 like a lot older than you motherfuckers most of you okay like i'm sore you think i want to go train

00:17:06.500 with weights you saw me going to train with weights today the first thing i said when i got up is i'm

00:17:10.340 like don't get old you know what i'm saying like my back's stiff my knees are stiff my elbows are stiff

00:17:15.620 i'm fucking it's not fun it hurts i'm in pain when i train uh and don't fucking message me all

00:17:22.020 this fucking bullshit about touching the grass joe's got some green teeth i know i know what i'm

00:17:26.420 doing okay like i'm gonna get all these messages from dudes i've been training i've been training for

00:17:30.180 30 fucking years yeah okay i'm gonna get all these people who are new fitness influencers telling me i

00:17:34.740 need to fucking do butthole stretches or some shit send me a video let me let me check your phone yeah

00:17:39.060 right i'll come over and stretch out your anus i bet you will so so dude anyway my point is is that

00:17:47.460 don't message me some dumb shit all right my point but my point is is don't look at people who are

00:17:52.100 doing all these hard things and insult them by thinking that it's easy just because they're doing

00:17:55.700 it there's a lot of shit i do every single day i don't fucking feel like doing a lot in fact most of

00:18:01.060 the shit that i do every day i don't want to do all right it's hard what i do is very very hard it's

00:18:06.500 very very stressful it's very very there's a lot of weight to carry it's hard it never gets easy

00:18:11.940 and you've seen that firsthand bro dj's around me as much as almost anybody and i mean dude just

00:18:20.980 honestly there's days you know that it crushes me dude like fucking straight up but does the

00:18:25.940 shit get done on the days of crushing it gets fucking done and that's what matters about discipline

00:18:30.820 so just because you think it's hard and just because you think that you don't feel it or you're

00:18:35.380 you're not catching it and you're going to have off days doesn't mean that's something that's that's

00:18:39.620 it that's how it's supposed to be bro you're mistaking it thinking that once you develop a

00:18:43.620 strong discipline that things are just easy that's not the way it is right i love that yeah so didn't

00:18:49.140 he have another part of his question just maintaining the focus so so with that so is this a focus issue

00:18:54.020 right like he's you feel like he has issues maintaining his focus on things that he knows he's supposed to

00:18:59.780 be doing yeah well if you're having one of those days dude it's always a good thing to sit down

00:19:05.140 and you know remember why it is you're doing it you know what i mean and usually if you can remember

00:19:10.260 that what you're doing is not really for you it's for everybody else then you have more of a you have

00:19:16.580 more ability to sort of harness that internal energy that internal focus to get shit done right like

00:19:23.700 yeah i don't have kids at home but i look at all these people here as my kids i look at all these

00:19:28.740 people here as my little brothers and my little sisters that i gotta do my or they're

00:19:32.820 gonna starve okay so there's a lot of pressure when you think like that and and if i didn't think

00:19:38.580 like that i probably wouldn't be as effective because i would just be doing things for me

00:19:42.340 i seriously doubt i'd be here six seven days a week working if i was doing it just for me at this

00:19:47.620 point in my life you see what i'm saying so we got to find external motivations and external causes

00:19:53.300 and take a minute when we're not focused and say okay well this is why i'm doing this

00:19:57.300 just take five minutes and reflect and say hey why am i doing this yeah what who's benefiting from

00:20:02.020 this who's depending on this and that will help get you focused and then also i think another thing

00:20:06.660 is um is that you know you can always manufacture the momentum you know when you when you force

00:20:14.660 yourself through three or four days that are hard eventually that momentum kicks back in and it

00:20:20.580 starts to get easy again and yeah after a while it's going to get monotonous but if you force yourself

00:20:25.940 for another three or four days it starts to get easy again so it's just it's ebbs and flows and i

00:20:30.660 would i would really caution everybody to not make the mistake of thinking that just because someone

00:20:36.500 is disciplined and just because it looks easy from the outside that's that doesn't mean it's easy it

00:20:43.620 just means they're just doing what they need to do and as long as you do what you need to do um

00:20:49.620 you know how you feel about it really is irrelevant like when you're at when you're in the

00:20:54.660 place you want to be and you've built the business you want to build or the life you want to build

00:20:58.900 it should be very easy for you to look back and say i'm proud of that you're not going to remember

00:21:04.100 all the times you didn't feel like it like i don't look back at like where i'm at now and and think like

00:21:09.780 you know fuck dude i remember all those days in 2006 where i didn't feel like no like i don't even

00:21:14.660 think about it it's like going on a trip dude like you never remember the fucking airplane ride

00:21:18.980 you remember being on the trip you know what i mean and so that's that's how it is like so

00:21:23.380 you're going to have hard times i love that because and i feel like i've seen this in work

00:21:27.300 too man with with you because it's like what you're saying is like in those hard times kind

00:21:31.380 of realign your intent yeah right like like you for example like i know your calendar bro you'll you'll

00:21:36.740 go from this meeting that's tailored for this specific department in this company and you'll walk

00:21:41.380 right into another office in a completely different business you know i'm saying and so like

00:21:45.060 maintaining you realign that intent in that meeting how does that work for you i mean that's that is a

00:21:51.620 that's a difficult skill to develop yeah it's still difficult for me at 25 years of doing this yeah

00:21:57.300 because if i'm focusing all my intent all my energy all my thoughts all my creativity all my problem

00:22:03.140 solving solutions which is really my biggest thing in this one area and then i have to walk into this

00:22:09.860 completely different area and do the same thing it takes and then do it in a snap

00:22:15.060 it's honestly it's a skill dude it's you just do it over and over and over again but i could tell

00:22:20.100 you out of all the skills that i've had to learn to be an effective ceo that's probably the hardest

00:22:28.260 one being able to switch my focus from this one to that one on the fly and you know it i don't really

00:22:35.060 have a plan for it other than it's just one of those things you have to do yeah i love it yeah love

00:22:39.700 it interesting thought provoking yeah there you go mixing it up guys and let's get lovely lovely

00:22:48.500 answer yeah lovely um guys andy our third and final question question number three uh hey andy and dj

00:22:56.180 i want to say thank you andy for your spirit of giving and courage to be vocal uh and hashtag

00:23:01.700 real af my question is how do you maintain a high level of hunger i consider myself a disciplined

00:23:09.380 person i don't drink i don't party or go out i just started 75 hard i work a competitive sales job

00:23:15.940 i just find myself looking back in certain periods of my life and thinking to myself

00:23:20.900 i wanted it a lot more back then um or i was making way more sacrifices there and way more discipline and

00:23:28.180 hunger there i know i'm doing okay for myself but i also am still on a journey uh away from my

00:23:34.580 end goals and can be definitely be doing a lot better i'm looking for that same drive and hunger

00:23:39.620 i know i'm capable of um and i'm not really sure what the answer is to getting to that level and

00:23:44.980 maintaining it how do you stay hungry um you got to set bigger goals okay you got to put yourself in

00:23:51.220 an intentional position that you're extremely far away from where you want to be so that you understand

00:23:56.020 every day i have to get up and go at it as if it's day one right so in the and by the way this is for

00:24:04.900 this advice i'm about to give is not for everybody this is for here on this show we are speaking to

00:24:11.220 the most driven the most hungry the most ambitious people on the planet or you wouldn't listen straight

00:24:17.540 up you go listen to all these other guys they're way softer than me they're way less intense they

00:24:22.260 they want to work so they can live their life i want to work so i can win okay there's a big difference

00:24:29.460 i'm talking to the people who want to win there's lots of people to get to a certain point and they

00:24:35.460 do the math and they figure out i got enough money to go live my life totally cool bro totally get it

00:24:42.420 i'm not wired that way i'm wired to be the best i'm trying to be the best ever all right and i know

00:24:50.340 that's unrealistic like you might hear that and say oh but you ask why i fucking could why i wake

00:24:56.500 up every day and go hard because i'm so far away from where i want to be that i i have to i don't have

00:25:03.620 a choice and i'm serious about getting there like when i say we're going to build first form into the

00:25:08.580 next quote unquote iconic american brand like the nikes and the underarmors and the like that

00:25:14.980 i'm serious and we're very far away from that and so i wake up every day and i go hard as

00:25:19.700 fuck when i when i wake up every day and i say hey i want to be in the top point zero zero zero zero zero

00:25:26.180 one percent of men my age i'm serious about that and i know there's other dudes that are my age that

00:25:32.660 are kicking my fucking ass i'm serious about that not many but i'm they're they're out there but i don't

00:25:38.420 want to be kind of the best i want to be the best and so for me this is about setting bigger goals

00:25:45.380 all right and i learned this lesson uh a number of times because over the 25 years that i've been

00:25:52.420 in business there's a lot of times where i felt the way that this person is describing where i was

00:25:57.860 i got a little bit soft i got a little bit comfortable i got a little bit complacent and

00:26:01.460 that's easy to do when you've got a decent house and you're driving a nice car and you got a few bucks in

00:26:07.060 the bank it's real easy to tell yourself man i'm doing good i can just relax the problem is

00:26:13.140 is that eventually you're not going to be doing so good because the whole flow of success and the

00:26:19.700 whole flow of society and progress is like a river it's always moving all right now if you get off the

00:26:26.740 river and you say fuck i'm good i'm i'm kind of tired of swimming you know even though you're swimming

00:26:31.460 down the stream i'm going to take a break and you get off on the riverbank all the motherfuckers that

00:26:36.020 were up the river a mile up the road they're going to fucking pass by you okay so you have to stop

00:26:42.020 and say what do i really want to be how far away am i from that and be honest with yourself and then

00:26:48.900 take the appropriate action so i can't tell someone who is where they want to be and comfortable

00:26:59.300 by design that they need to go expand their vision because this is their vision their vision is

00:27:04.420 that but there's things to be cognizant of if you stop and get out of the river and and that's this

00:27:10.580 you think you have a lot of money now but what about 15 years from now what about 20 years from

00:27:14.980 now what about 40 years from now do you have 40 years worth of money living at your lifestyle

00:27:19.940 and does that consider uh inflation and the devaluation of dollar or emergencies or economic collapse

00:27:27.700 we need a lot more money than what we think we need we need a lot more success than what we think we

00:27:32.580 need and i think it's very very dangerous as a man considering that it's our job to build and

00:27:38.260 provide and inspire and show the way for us to think that we have it made at any point in our lives

00:27:43.460 because you don't you never know what's going to happen and at the end of the day if you keep going

00:27:48.340 you'll be in a position where you can do all kinds of really good stuff for people so to sum this up

00:27:53.940 you have to expand your vision you have to say all right i'm here and where i really want to be is

00:28:04.500 here and i'm a gazillion miles away from that and so i have to work hard just like you had to work

00:28:10.260 very hard on the real day one to get where you are now you see what i'm saying so it's about expanding

00:28:16.260 vision expanding potential and i i would challenge anybody you know that thinks like oh man i'm in a

00:28:20.900 in a really good spot and and i okay well if you're you know a lot of a lot most of our people

00:28:26.340 i think believe in god that listen to the show if you're the product of god and god gave you all this

00:28:32.820 potential and you only decide to squeeze out half the potential do you think you're honoring god or do

00:28:38.260 you think you're failing god something to think about okay so i think about that so i think it's our

00:28:45.300 job and i think success is ultimately defined by us making a commitment to the pursuit of our own

00:28:52.340 true potential understanding that our own true potential can never be realized because eventually

00:28:57.060 we run out of time but and by the way as we gain skills along the journey the potential on the

00:29:03.460 backside of it expands if you were to take someone who was 90 years old with that whole life experience

00:29:09.460 and put them back at 30 think what they could achieve because of what they know you see what i'm

00:29:13.620 saying but they eventually run out of time and they die but if you commit to that and you squeeze all

00:29:19.620 the juice out when you're gonna die you could at least look at yourself and say well i did it you

00:29:25.780 know what i'm saying i squeezed all the juice out of what i had you can feel good about it and um

00:29:31.460 you know everybody has a different path of how they want to live and i'm not here to tell people how

00:29:35.540 to live but you asked how to get hungry again uh you should probably realize that that you ain't

00:29:40.740 shit that's what you should realize and and and dude you know that's why when people and you hear

00:29:45.620 this because you're around me all the time they come up to me and they say andy congrats on everything

00:29:50.260 you've done man thank you for everything you've done congratulations it's amazing what you've done

00:29:54.260 and i'm like bro i'm just getting fucking started i this is day one because i mean that that's legit i

00:30:00.180 legitimately mean that like bit one of the coolest things about an entrepreneurship as in business

00:30:06.180 is that it's one of the only games that you can play over the course of your whole life

00:30:11.300 and the older you get the better you get right because like for me to compete against a 30 year

00:30:17.620 old guy i've got 15 years more real experience than that guy like what he's going to have to figure out

00:30:23.780 i already figured figured out so if i continue to go i could scale up my success at a much faster rate

00:30:31.220 in my 40s than i could in my 30s because of the experience that i have all right so i set my goals

00:30:36.260 big bro like in real big like you know people like to say well comparison is the thief of joy well it's

00:30:42.420 also the driver of realizing your ultimate potential all right i love it man i love it that was three man
