00:00:00.440 Hey guys, this is Vaughn Kohler and you're listening to the MFCEO Project.
00:00:05.220 Halloween is coming up. Boo. Frightening. What are you afraid of? A lot of people fear
00:00:11.040 the unknown. That's what Andy talks about today.
00:00:30.000 All I do is work. All I do is work. All I do is work.
00:00:34.240 Hey guys, what's up? It's Andy. You're listening to the MFCEO Project, Thursday Thunder Edition.
00:00:40.420 I am the motherfucking CEO and we're going to talk about something today that everybody
00:00:45.660 suffers from. Every single person out there listening to this right now is afraid of the
00:00:51.760 what ifs. They're afraid of what might happen. They're afraid of what if I do this and it
00:00:57.440 doesn't happen. All right. And I used to think just like that. I used to wonder if all the
00:01:02.120 work would be worth it. I used to wonder what would happen if I did all this work and I still
00:01:07.400 didn't make it. Was I wasting my time? Was all the struggle for nothing? Was all the anxiety
00:01:12.760 for nothing? Was all the fear for nothing? Would it all pay off? Would the magical success fairies 1.00
00:01:18.000 and the powers that be grant me the life I desired? Would I be one of the lucky ones? Okay. These
00:01:24.280 are all thoughts that I used to have. I used to think like every single one of you guys
00:01:28.580 and then it happened. Okay. That's when I realized that it wasn't what if, what if, what if, what
00:01:35.740 if. Okay. And that day happened to me when I bought my first Lamborghini. I realized that
00:01:40.720 it wasn't a what if. It wasn't magical. It wasn't a lottery that you won. There's no chance
00:01:46.800 and there sure as fuck isn't a success fairy out there or powers that be that grant you anything. 0.55
00:01:52.480 I can remember thinking I did all this work all this time and now I'm here and this is my car.
00:01:58.720 That's it. That's all it is. I can remember thinking that. Okay. It wasn't what if anymore. It
00:02:05.260 was okay. This is very simple. You go out, you execute and good shit happens. All right. And so
00:02:11.560 many of you guys get caught up on the what if, what if, what if, what if that you end up paralyzing
00:02:17.680 yourself and doing nothing? And obviously if you're a success student, you know, that's called
00:02:22.000 paralysis by analysis. All right. It's a common term and it affects all of us. But the point I
00:02:27.880 want to bring to you guys today is nobody knows what's going to happen. I don't know. You don't
00:02:33.340 know. We don't know. I get hit by a bus walking out of here, recording this podcast. Who knows?
00:02:38.520 Nobody knows. But what defines success and what defines entrepreneur and what defines somebody
00:02:44.100 who's going to move through life with reckless abandon, accomplishing goal after goal after
00:02:48.400 goal after goal is not a perfect plan. It's not a plan of perfection with no obstacles. It's
00:02:54.380 how they respond to the shit that happens that we don't know is coming. Okay. So it's not
00:02:59.720 being afraid of the unknown. It's going into the unknown with reckless abandon, waving your
00:03:05.520 head saying, Holy fuck, I'm going to kick some ass today. And when that shit comes, you kick
00:03:10.440 its ass too. That's what being successful is about. It's about adjusting and taking the
00:03:15.480 cards dealt. You know, a lot of people think being successful is being dealt the perfect
00:03:19.600 cards. That's what losers fucking say. All right. The reality is it's not about being dealt
00:03:24.560 the perfect cars. It's about taking the cards you're dealt and making the most of them. That's
00:03:29.500 what being a true success is about. So while I understand the fact that you're upset and
00:03:34.600 you're scared and it's scary and it causes anxiety, it causes stress, it causes you to
00:03:39.020 have diarrhea and all this stuff. I get it. I've been there. I still have it. Seriously. I still
00:03:46.500 have it. Tyler's laughing at me. All right. I don't literally have it today, but there is times
00:03:51.960 where I have diarrhea from stress. All right, guys, it's normal. It's part of the process.
00:03:59.100 How are you going to look that shit in the fucking eye and defeat it? That's what makes
00:04:04.520 somebody successful. It's not about having the perfect plan. It's not about going down
00:04:08.760 the smoothest highway. It's about taking the things that pop up and punch you in the fucking
00:04:13.340 eye and hitting them back twice as hard so that you can keep moving forward. And that's
00:04:18.340 what I want you to get through this. Okay. Cause I get so many questions about what if, what
00:04:22.280 if, what if, what if, what if, what if, and it's normal to ask those questions. It's normal
00:04:26.860 to develop a good plan. I'm not saying don't fucking plan. Cause I know there's that one
00:04:30.900 guy out there saying Andy. So you're saying I should just run with no fucking plan. No
00:04:34.900 motherfucker. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, is it's good to have a plan.
00:04:39.480 It's good to have thoughts of what's going to happen. But at the end of the day, if that
00:04:44.200 stops you from going from here to there and moving from planning to acting, you're only hurting
00:04:49.560 yourself. All right. All, none of us know what the fuck we're doing. Okay. Do we, do
00:04:54.640 I have a better idea than probably you and you're on your first day for sure. Does Bill
00:04:58.820 Gates have a better idea than me? Cause he's been doing it twice as long and, and, and
00:05:02.680 all has way more experience. Yes. But that you develop that with time guys. And you have
00:05:07.660 the more time you put in, the more experience you have, the more confidence you develop in
00:05:12.380 your plan. So you lose a lot of that fear. So all this fear that you guys have about
00:05:17.300 what if, what if, what if, what if dude, that's normal. Just go out and fucking execute.
00:05:23.320 And when bad shit happens, figure out how to, how to get past it. Because the reality
00:05:27.080 is the bad shit that happens, 99.99% of it is not going to kill you. It's only going to
00:05:33.980 be there to serve a purpose for you to see, observe, find a solution and move forward.
00:05:38.920 So you don't do it again. And every time you accomplish that, you, you become stronger,
00:05:42.640 your company becomes stronger and you become more in line for success. So don't fucking
00:05:48.420 wait. Don't worry about what if, don't think of it as magic. Don't think of it as lottery,
00:05:53.960 make a list, execute the fucking list, do that every single day for the next 10 years. And 0.92
00:05:59.920 you will be where you want to be. I fucking guarantee it.
00:06:03.700 All I do is work. All I do is work. All I do is work. All I do is work. All I do is work.
00:06:23.340 All I do is work
00:06:24.880 All I do is work
00:06:26.580 All I do is work
