00:00:00.000 All I do is work, work, work, never run the sidelines, I only hustle, I don't ever take
00:00:05.780 your day off, I only work, work, work, I don't mess around, kid, I only can't, can't, can't,
00:00:11.760 what he never sees, get you, all I do is work, all I do is work, all I do is work,
00:00:15.840 Hey guys, what's up?
00:00:16.980 You're listening to the MFCEO Project.
00:00:19.140 I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:22.520 Guys, Thursday Thunder, you know how this is.
00:00:24.940 We're going to come in, we're going to hit you with something short, and I'm not going
00:00:28.300 to take up much of your time.
00:00:29.220 I want you to go out, I want you to be productive, and I want you to do something.
00:00:31.920 Something that was on my mind today, as I was getting ready to sit down and talk about what
00:00:37.000 we were going to do for Thursday Thunder, was like these before and after pics, okay?
00:00:41.980 Everybody's seen these before and after pictures, whether it be in a magazine, on TV, right?
00:00:46.220 Here's the dude before he used the Ab Destroyer workout program, you know, all flabby and marshmallow-y,
00:00:52.900 you know, looking like a fucking hippopotamus. 0.69
00:00:56.760 And then here he is after, just nine days after, using the Ab Destroyer, looking like 0.90
00:01:01.120 he's a model off of Men's Health with washboard abs, badass, surrounded by all these hot chicks,
00:01:06.580 right?
00:01:06.760 His life's totally changed in nine days.
00:01:09.320 And it got me thinking, you know, it's so funny how opinions changed about people as
00:01:17.440 they move through the journey of life, especially entrepreneurship.
00:01:21.240 You know, if you want, everybody who wants to be a successful entrepreneur or really successful
00:01:26.940 at anything in life needs to understand that there's going to be the before voices and there's
00:01:33.240 going to be the after voices, all right?
00:01:37.020 And what I mean by that, guys, is there's going to be ways that people talk to you and
00:01:40.600 think about you before when you're the hippopotamus and they're going to think about you after when
00:01:46.320 you're the ripped, you know, ripped diesel, MacGyver, solve anything, nuclear physicist,
00:01:51.900 rich, banging all these hoes, right? 1.00
00:01:54.680 After you proved them wrong, that's what we're getting at.
00:01:57.340 All of a sudden, you're a stud before you were just a hippo, all right?
00:02:01.280 And it goes that way for success too, guys.
00:02:03.620 When I'm talking about the way people look at you at the before and after, let me give
00:02:07.320 you some examples of my life, all right?
00:02:10.400 On our first day, we sold $7.
00:02:13.100 We were sleeping on a piss-stained mattress in the back of our first retail store that
00:02:17.660 we got from the Salvation Army three or four stores down in our center.
00:02:22.120 You know what people used to tell me?
00:02:23.600 This is people I love, people I believed in, people I trusted.
00:02:26.820 I said, Andy, that's never going to work.
00:02:29.760 You're never going to be able to do that.
00:02:31.660 Andy, you're crazy.
00:02:33.180 Who do you think you are?
00:02:34.320 Why are you doing this?
00:02:35.720 Do you really think that's going to work?
00:02:37.880 That's not how it's supposed to be done.
00:02:39.720 You dream too much.
00:02:41.920 When are you going to get a real job?
00:02:43.840 Andy, you need to be realistic.
00:02:46.180 Hey, man, do you still have that little vitamin shop?
00:02:48.820 And as years went by, guys, and day, I'm talking day after day after day of frustration, day
00:02:55.100 after day of work, day after day of execution and struggle, the conversations changed, okay?
00:03:00.660 Because results started to appear.
00:03:02.840 And instead of being, hey, you know, be realistic, it started being more like this.
00:03:07.400 Hey, Andy, are you still working on that?
00:03:10.140 How's that going?
00:03:11.540 Man, I can't believe you guys are still doing that.
00:03:13.980 Is it going well?
00:03:15.980 Wow, I'm so proud of you.
00:03:17.800 Andy, I always believed in you.
00:03:19.920 Hey, man, do you have any job openings?
00:03:21.760 And this is exactly what the conversations have gone for the past 16 years of my life.
00:03:26.580 Guys, you have to understand that most people are incapable of thinking big.
00:03:31.580 They're pre-programmed by the system to instill limits on themselves.
00:03:35.320 They look here and see big things and automatically get scared and accept as reality that they
00:03:40.320 are incapable.
00:03:41.880 And that's why you make them uncomfortable.
00:03:44.500 This is why you can't expect people to agree with or understand you trying to accomplish
00:03:49.540 big things.
00:03:50.480 And I know, guys, it hurts.
00:03:51.640 It hurts when people you love say they don't believe in you, but you're going to have to
00:03:55.240 learn to be okay with people not understanding or trusting or believing your end result if
00:04:01.380 you plan on getting anywhere in life.
00:04:03.660 You know, this is just part of the process, guys.
00:04:06.820 People are going to nag you.
00:04:07.880 They're going to discourage you.
00:04:08.740 They're going to criticize you.
00:04:10.140 They're going to hate on you to try and get you to quit.
00:04:12.880 And it's not because they hate you or think you're a bad person.
00:04:15.320 It's because your success serves as a constant reminder as to what they could have been had
00:04:21.340 they just done the work.
00:04:22.700 And if given the chance, these same people would switch places with you 100% of the time.
00:04:28.320 So stop giving a shit what other people think.
00:04:30.900 Focus on your action because that's what matters, not your talk, not your doubts, and especially
00:04:35.900 not their chirping in the background.
00:04:37.780 It's all about what you do.
00:04:39.960 All right?
00:04:40.220 And this is the way it is, guys.
00:04:42.080 You have to realize that when you're talking about the quote unquote average crowd, you need
00:04:47.000 to realize that they are not going to see the after until it exists.
00:04:52.040 You, as an entrepreneur, as somebody who has dreams, sees the after before anyone else.
00:04:57.600 Okay?
00:04:58.040 Successful people, which you're successful already if you're listening to this because
00:05:02.180 you are going to move forward.
00:05:03.660 You're showing a genuine investment moving forward.
00:05:06.140 Your thoughts should be, fuck yeah, I'm crazy, but I'm a mad fucking genius for doing this.
00:05:10.800 And one day you're going to see it.
00:05:11.860 You have to use their criticism and use their doubts and use the things that they feed you
00:05:16.340 and use that as fuel.
00:05:18.060 You know, so many people hear these negativity, you know, the people who they trust and who
00:05:22.540 they believe in and who they want to take their opinions from, and they say, oh, you
00:05:27.000 can't do it.
00:05:27.920 And that causes so many people just to stop and quit and say, you know what?
00:05:32.380 I probably can't.
00:05:33.720 But guys, you have to realize it's not just you.
00:05:36.240 Just because your peer group or your parents or your teachers or your friends are saying
00:05:41.460 they don't think you can do it, that is a normal process of being successful.
00:05:47.340 It wasn't any different for me.
00:05:48.600 It wasn't any different for anybody that stepped outside the regular realm of success.
00:05:53.280 The difference between successful people and people who quit and reside to being an average
00:05:59.460 person and left their dreams just fade off into the sunset is that successful people
00:06:03.880 know that when the roar of laughter from the crowd dies down, there's only one person who's
00:06:08.540 going to have the last laugh, and that's going to be you.
00:06:11.080 You have to quit giving a shit whether or not the crowd supports you, okay?
00:06:16.260 You have your vision.
00:06:17.720 You believe it.
00:06:18.600 And that's enough.
00:06:19.680 And as long as you take daily action on that vision every single day, step after step
00:06:24.640 after step, you're going to get where you want to go regardless of what anybody says.
00:06:29.000 This is the hardest thing that I have to get through with the young entrepreneur mindset
00:06:33.660 is that they think that other people's opinion is going to affect their outcome, and it's
00:06:38.240 not.
00:06:39.000 What's going to affect your outcome is how well you execute on a daily basis, day after
00:06:44.460 day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
00:06:48.140 And if you do that, guys, it doesn't matter what your parents say.
00:06:51.320 It doesn't matter what your teachers say.
00:06:52.800 It doesn't matter what your friends say.
00:06:54.420 It doesn't matter what your peers say.
00:06:56.320 You'll get where you want to be.
