00:00:00.000 We gon' let the band deal with this, ha ha, mm-hmm, M-I-A style, old school, uh-huh, okay, shut up, uh-huh, okay, what's up, shut up, uh-huh, what is up, motherfuckers? 1.00
00:00:20.380 You're listening to the MFCEO Project, I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfuckin' CEO. 0.98
00:00:25.380 Guys, if it's your first time listening, this is Thursday Thunder, it is, uh, it's just me, it's just me riffin', uh, usually I've got my co-host here, Vaughn, the Impaler, the Pastor of Disaster, um, he's here to guide me through my, uh, thoughts, but on Thursdays we just do it different, we do what I wanna do, and we do it the way I wanna do it, and guys, today we're gonna talk about something that plagues entrepreneurs.
00:00:55.380 It's so much of an issue amongst young entrepreneurs, especially young entrepreneurs.
00:01:04.060 Let's talk about humility, alright, what does that mean, what does humility mean?
00:01:10.380 Most people hear humility and they think, they think modesty, they think I've gotta drive a shitty car, I've gotta live in a small house, and, um,
00:01:20.380 Um, you know, that's not humility, that's modesty, okay, we're gonna talk about humility and why it's important.
00:01:29.100 The number one thing about humility that most people don't understand is that it has tremendous value in your ability to progress, and why do I, I'm not gonna get all the way into humility, we have other podcasts on that.
00:01:44.940 I'm gonna get into the point of, you don't fucking know everything, alright, let's just get it right out there on the table.
00:01:52.000 I meet so many young entrepreneurs, they think they know everything, they want to know everything, they want to be the best at everything inside their company, and guys, that's just not reality, okay? 0.98
00:02:06.640 You have to understand, winning in business is not about you personally, as the CEO of a company, being the fucking best at every fucking skill set. 0.62
00:02:18.380 Dude, I can't put together graphics, I can't put together videos, I can't, there's certain things in my company that I have no fucking clue on how to do, but that's okay. 0.94
00:02:29.680 You know what my job is? My job is to go out and find people that can do that far better than myself, so that we can win as a team.
00:02:38.400 And this attitude of, I've gotta be the best, and I've gotta, I've gotta win, and I've gotta, you know, and I'm the best at everything, and I know more than you, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, that makes horrible leadership. 0.97
00:02:50.620 Nobody fucking respects that. Let me tell you what people do respect. 0.83
00:02:53.980 People respect when you look them in the fucking eye, and you say, hey, what do you think? 0.97
00:03:00.460 And then they give you an answer, and then it's your job to decide whether or not, on an honest playing field, whether or not that is the best thing to do, or whether or not somebody else has the best thing to do. 0.98
00:03:12.620 Alright? And that might be your idea, it might be another employee's idea, it doesn't matter.
00:03:18.280 As long as the best idea comes about, and you are able to decide which one that is. 0.99
00:03:24.440 You guys have to understand and get over your fucking selves. 0.98
00:03:27.780 Being a business, owning a business, is not about being right. 0.99
00:03:31.420 Okay? I see this also in the same thing as when people develop products for themselves versus understanding what the market likes.
00:03:40.700 Alright? The same people who I just talked about that can't accept the fact that they're not always the fucking best, 0.92
00:03:45.720 and that they're not always right, are the same people that develop products for the market based upon what they like,
00:03:52.460 and not based upon what the market likes. 0.96
00:03:55.240 And you guys, all of you who fall in those groups, you better learn to do what I'm fucking telling you to do, 0.98
00:04:00.560 or you're going to be out of business. 0.99
00:04:02.320 Because, dude, big egos, overinflated egos, they come from insecurity.
00:04:08.160 Alright? The only reason that you would act that way is that if you're actually insecure about the amount that you truly know,
00:04:14.000 so you over-inflate, puff your chest, feel like you need to be right, and guess what?
00:04:19.760 You're usually wrong. Your employees don't respect you.
00:04:22.660 Your peers don't respect you.
00:04:24.400 And this goes for you people who are in an office environment, working for another company,
00:04:29.480 owning a company. It goes for everybody listening.
00:04:32.620 You're not always going to be right.
00:04:35.960 That's okay.
00:04:36.820 The best leaders in the world are not the ones that are the smartest or the ones that are most right. 0.97
00:04:43.280 They're the ones that can decipher who's the best at which job, put motherfuckers in the right places to win, 1.00
00:04:49.440 and then also decide from a humble place, and humble meaning understanding that you don't fucking know everything, 0.96
00:04:58.020 which idea is going to be the best for everybody.
00:05:02.540 Okay? That's your job. You're the fucking captain of the team.
00:05:06.320 You're the fucking CEO. You're the fucking captain of the ship. 1.00
00:05:09.740 If you're going to steer the ship into rocks just because you fucking, you know, 1.00
00:05:14.460 argued with your first mate about your path being right, you're a fucking idiot. 1.00
00:05:20.260 Okay? It's okay to not have all the answers. 1.00
00:05:22.920 It's okay to not be right.
00:05:24.540 It's okay to admit that you weren't right.
00:05:26.560 And, in fact, if you want the respect of your team and your peers, you will be willing and able to admit that you made mistakes 0.96
00:05:33.660 the fucking minute that you make them. 0.98
00:05:36.700 All right? 0.99
00:05:37.100 Nobody likes people that can't admit when they're wrong. 0.99
00:05:39.640 Nobody likes people that can't admit when they fuck up. 0.99
00:05:42.100 And guess what? We all fuck up. 1.00
00:05:43.980 I fuck up every single fucking day. 1.00
00:05:46.140 All right? 1.00
00:05:46.660 I have no problem admitting it.
00:05:48.380 But that's also why our team wins.
00:05:50.560 It's why our team is tight-knit.
00:05:52.200 It's why our team cares about each other because, dude, everybody in this company, in my circle,
00:05:57.820 understands that I have the best intentions in mind.
00:06:00.720 And that's where you want to be.
00:06:02.660 You want to start building a great culture.
00:06:04.460 You want to build a great company.
00:06:06.040 You want to succeed in business and in life. 0.97
00:06:08.700 Dude, realize, number one, you ain't going to fucking always know everything. 0.83
00:06:12.760 Realize, number two, that's okay. 1.00
00:06:15.600 And realize, number three, that you're surrounded by a lot of people that know a lot more fucking shit than you. 1.00
00:06:21.240 Utilize that. 1.00
00:06:22.200 You guys have to get this through your head.
00:06:25.840 If you let your ego get in the way of your decision-making for the sake of, quote-unquote, being right,
00:06:32.160 you will never, ever, ever fucking win in the long term. 0.81
00:06:36.460 We're going to let the band deal with this. 0.98
00:06:39.520 Ha-ha.
00:06:40.400 Mm-hmm.
00:06:43.500 M-I-A style. 1.00
00:06:45.560 Old school.
00:06:47.080 Uh-huh.
00:06:49.320 Okay. 1.00
00:06:50.340 Shut up. 1.00
00:06:51.240 Uh-huh. 1.00
00:06:51.680 Okay.
00:06:52.820 What's up? 1.00
00:06:53.640 Shut up. 1.00
00:06:54.520 Uh-huh. 1.00
00:06:55.300 Okay.
