00:00:48.600
for your life, okay, a lot of people are like, oh Andy, I'm not an entrepreneur, I don't know
00:00:54.040
if I should be listening to a CEO show, well, you are an entrepreneur, you're an entrepreneur
00:01:00.300
of you and the way society is going the way, the world is going the way, the economy is
00:01:05.520
developing, if you don't take control of yourself, of your own personal brand, quite frankly,
00:01:14.440
Normally on Thursdays, we come at you with Thursday Thunder, on Tuesdays, we have a longer
00:01:19.960
Today, we're going to do a Thursday Thunder episode.
00:01:22.660
I want to tell you guys a story and the story is about a baby elephant, okay, when an elephant
00:01:28.780
is a baby, it can be restrained with a small stake and a piece of twine, alright, the little
00:01:36.460
baby elephant is so weak that it fights, it struggles, it tugs, but it can't pull the stake
00:01:42.940
out of the ground because it's just a little baby, alright, eventually it just accepts there's
00:01:47.800
no point in fighting anymore and it just quits, okay, so there it is, this little baby elephant
00:01:53.720
with this cute little piece of string and a stick in the ground, alright, but here's what
00:01:58.320
happens guys, as we know, the elephant doesn't stay little for very long, it grows into this
00:02:03.960
massive, powerful, super strong beast of an animal that can easily escape the little
00:02:10.300
stick and a piece of twine, but it doesn't, it doesn't fight, it doesn't struggle, it doesn't
00:02:16.140
tug on the rope, why, why doesn't it tug on the rope, it's a massive beast that could easily
00:02:21.460
escape, but it doesn't know that, you know why it doesn't know that, because it's accepted
00:02:26.900
that the stake and the rope have control over it, it's accepted its limits, and that's the
00:02:35.680
problem guys, people are like the elephant, at a very young age, okay, when we're really
00:02:42.920
really young, people tell us, oh you could be an astronaut, oh you could be this, oh you
00:02:46.160
could be that, oh you could be an athlete, but you know what happens the first day we
00:02:49.940
go to school, our teachers, our kids, our peers in school, they laugh at us and they
00:02:55.100
tell us, oh be realistic, blah blah blah, and our limits start to form, okay, we get duped
00:03:01.500
in believing that we have a rope and a stake tied around our necks, all right, we accept
00:03:08.300
limits, we accept things that aren't true, okay, the rope and the stake, those are metaphors
00:03:16.200
for the cage that we build for ourselves, but here's the thing guys, it's imaginary, these
00:03:21.360
limitations that you feel are reality aren't, they're not real, okay, you've accepted the
00:03:28.520
limits that society and other people have imposed upon you, and you've built walls around
00:03:34.620
yourself based upon these opinions, okay, and a lot of people can never look themselves
00:03:41.120
in the mirror and realize that they've built these walls themselves, instead they go through
00:03:46.380
life thinking that, you know, they just weren't meant for this kind of life, or they just weren't
00:03:51.480
meant to be great, or they were just meant to be an average worker bee, bullshit, nobody
00:03:56.840
listened to this was meant to be average, at some point in life, if you're living an average
00:04:01.220
life right now, you were, you were, you were molded, you were convinced, and you accepted
00:04:07.120
that you were just an average person, okay, and look, I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh
00:04:15.160
dude, you know, fuck you if you're average, that's not my point, but you're probably, if you're
00:04:19.820
listening to my podcast, you're probably somebody that wants to improve, you're probably somebody
00:04:23.700
that wants to have more, you're probably somebody that wants to be a fucking animal in life and
00:04:29.200
attack life with reckless abandon and become successful in any way fucking possible, and
00:04:36.460
you can't do that when you're letting yourself be limited by a little bitty stake and a little
00:04:41.380
bitty rope that you give perceived control over yourself to, okay, you don't have limits,
00:04:48.620
you have excuses, you don't live in a predetermined reality, the excuses that you make on a daily
00:04:55.380
basis, that's what creates your cage that you live in, a cage created by imaginary thoughts
00:05:00.900
in your brain based on your environment and your own unwillingness to test the waters, to
00:05:06.940
fight, and to do the fucking work required to build the life that you want, and there's
00:05:12.220
nothing more weak, there's nothing more pussy, there's nothing more sad than letting imaginary
00:05:17.360
thoughts keep you from building the life that you truly want for yourself, the poor little
