00:01:06.180
real shit real advice things that should cost a lot of money for free so if you could leave us a review
00:01:14.400
it'd be very much appreciated guys today i want to talk about something that i've talked about in the
00:01:20.320
past but i've got to get at it one more time okay and maybe five more times maybe a hundred more times
00:01:26.900
but the point of this podcast is this easy never pays well let me say that again easy never pays well
00:01:40.300
in today's day of entrepreneurship we have all these young bucks kids that are under the age of
00:01:48.540
27 okay and entrepreneurship age and real age are two different things so let's just say under the
00:01:57.000
age of five in entrepreneurship or maybe three in entrepreneurship and they are constantly looking
00:02:03.180
for the grand slam they're constantly looking for the the overnight success they're looking for the
00:02:09.080
story that they read about on forbes on entrepreneur on yahoo they're looking to read about to create
00:02:17.240
something that mimics that story you know the guy who started uh this company and three years later
00:02:23.120
sold it for 20 billion dollars okay and they're so focused on the money that they forget that money is
00:02:31.040
not the point the point is to provide value the point is to create a service a product and some
00:02:38.580
you know whatever it is you create the the the information you create to create something that
00:02:46.140
helps people solve a problem okay you shouldn't be looking for the ways to make the most money you
00:02:53.940
shouldn't be looking for the ways to make the most money the quickest way possible the easiest way
00:02:59.660
possible that doesn't fucking exist in real life sure you read about these huge enormous success stories
00:03:08.340
on the internet every day but they're so rare it's like a four home run game in baseball or a perfect
00:03:15.920
game that's how rare they are so you guys are dedicating all your effort let's just use this
00:03:22.040
analogy as a pitcher you're dedicating all your effort to have a no fucking hitter every time
00:03:26.780
instead of creating the skills and practicing the skills of pitching a good game consistently feeling
00:03:34.760
the ball right helping your team win you can't pitch a perfect game with you know every time you go out
00:03:43.220
you can't create a billion dollar win or a 20 billion dollar win overnight with no effort every time you go
00:03:51.180
out and that seems to be the message that is being portrayed to everybody these days everywhere we look
00:03:57.660
it's buy this program you'll be rich in 12 months do what i do i'll teach you this i'll teach you that
00:04:04.600
i'll teach you how to be a real estate guy i'll teach you how to trade stocks i'll teach you how to trade forex
00:04:09.800
i'll teach you my how about this how about you learn the fucking skills that you need to learn to be a
00:04:19.600
and then use those skills to help solve people's problems commit yourself to 15 years commit yourself to 20 years
00:04:29.760
don't try to look at it as a one-year thing or two-year thing or three-year thing that's where most people
00:04:35.780
fuck up they get in a routine where they think that it's going to take two years and when it doesn't happen in
00:04:42.520
two years they go and try something else and then they do that for two years and then it doesn't work so they try
00:04:48.080
something else and then they do that for another two years and then they keep doing that over and
00:04:52.700
over and over and over again until they're 38 40 60 years old they say you know what i wasn't a very
00:04:58.940
good entrepreneur you weren't the reason you weren't a good entrepreneur is because you lack patience
00:05:03.000
and you're always looking for the quick easy way the easy shit is the fucking espn highlight reel
00:05:09.460
it doesn't really exist and a lot of you guys who are listening right now that you don't own your
00:05:16.920
own companies you work within a company you know so you come to work every day trying to be the dude
00:05:22.400
who hides in the corner who who's going to get by with the least amount of work and you think because
00:05:28.180
the rest of society thinks this way that if you put enough fucking time in eventually someone will
00:05:33.880
come to you and they'll say hey kevin i noticed that you've been here for 15 years and you know what
00:05:39.000
you deserve a promotion no you fucking don't you don't deserve shit you deserve to do what you're doing
00:05:45.380
and probably less than what you're doing because you come to work you hide in the fucking corner you
00:05:50.160
do the least amount possible and you expect that if you put your time in that it's going to be a
00:05:54.740
reward and that's not the way the world works maybe it worked that way 60 years ago but it doesn't work
00:06:01.100
that way anymore you're going to have to develop the skills that you anticipate needing now for your
00:06:08.960
future position guess what that means guys that means doing your fucking homework that means reading
00:06:14.240
that means researching that means practicing that means learning that doesn't mean going home and
00:06:19.860
sitting on the fucking couch and watching tv every night for seven fucking hours and then complaining
00:06:24.780
how you don't have the fucking time to improve yourself quit looking for the easy way quit looking
00:06:32.440
for the quick way quit looking for the overnight success and start looking for the fucking problems
00:06:38.200
how many times a day do you get annoyed at shit how many times a day do you see things and you say
00:06:45.100
to yourself man this shouldn't be run this way this should be run this way how many times a day do you
00:06:50.380
think man it would be cool if this was the way it was or you see a product you say hey it'd be cool if
00:06:55.900
this product did this instead of that that's where the fucking ideas come from
00:06:59.920
they come from the fucking problems and if you unless you live in a perfect world and I know I
00:07:08.280
don't you you you you confront it with these problems every day and the great people that
00:07:15.320
come up with great companies that make a lot of fucking money are the people who are always looking
00:07:20.120
for the problems and then figuring out how you could actually solve it and then going out and putting
00:07:24.820
that into fucking play they're not the guys who are buying real estate programs on the fucking
00:07:29.980
internet or forex programs on the internet or fucking stock trading programs on the internet
00:07:35.200
and even if you do buy those things I'm not even knocking those things but you're you're buying them
00:07:41.240
with the with the idea that you're going to have to put in fucking two months worth of work and
00:07:46.240
you're going to be balling out you want to be an expert at real estate you want to be an expert
00:07:51.060
stocks put in fucking 15 years it's nothing's overnight nothing's easy and I'm going to tell
00:07:58.760
you right now when you're the guy who's thinking like that your whole life you will never ever
00:08:03.080
fucking succeed and that goes for everybody it goes for the people who are out there trying to
00:08:07.880
start companies and it goes for like I said the guy out in the warehouse who's hiding in the corner
00:08:11.900
every fucking day trying to do the least amount of work possible so that he can get by and not get
00:08:16.520
fucking fired but yet when he goes home on the weekend he is sitting there thinking about and
00:08:21.640
talking about and bitching about how he's getting screwed over and his boss or his manager is out
00:08:28.600
there making so much more money and he should be getting paid more and all this other fucking
00:08:32.740
bullshit that just isn't fucking true if you provide real value in your company you get fucking
00:08:39.320
paid I don't care what fucking company you work for there's no excuse you want to make more money
00:08:48.860
figure out how to be more valuable you want to become higher paid you want to move up figure out
00:08:55.220
how to become more valuable there's not a company out there that fucking exists today that that that
00:09:01.980
doesn't want more talent in their program and guess what if you do happen to work in one of these
00:09:07.440
companies that quote-unquote doesn't fucking exist guess what if you develop the fucking skills that
00:09:13.200
you need to develop by putting in the fucking work on your own you can leave that company and go find
00:09:20.520
a fucking company who does reward that and make more money and progress the bottom line of this whole
00:09:26.160
conversation is this easy doesn't pay well and you need to keep that in mind when you think about how
00:09:33.660
you're spending your time most of you go through life doing the least amount of shit possible and
00:09:41.200
that's the truth most of you go through life thinking about how you can make the easiest money possible
00:09:47.340
easy and money don't go together it's like oil and water they do not fucking go together
00:09:56.300
but we're all enamored by the easy money fairy tale right the overnight success the lottery winner
00:10:04.220
the the guy who made 17 billion dollars and three years worth of work
00:10:08.660
but let me tell you something you got to be willing to put in three fucking years before that and most
00:10:14.300
of you won't even fucking do that you'll put in a year and you'll say man i'm not getting anywhere
00:10:19.360
with this well why aren't you getting anywhere with this i guarantee you i come fucking work for your
00:10:23.080
company and work in your company and in a year i'd be running the motherfucker and that's fucking truth
00:10:27.720
you guys you guys don't get it i get it from the fucking questions that you send me
00:10:35.720
you don't understand what i'm talking about whenever i say it's not going to be easy and you have to be
00:10:41.180
patient and you have to put in the fucking time you talk to me about three months how you fucking
00:10:46.860
worked your ass off for three months and it wasn't recognized that ain't nothing i take naps longer
00:10:52.160
in three fucking months it takes real fucking time and real commitment and it takes that every single
00:11:01.380
day it takes a conscious effort to be more valuable to be better than the next guy every single day and
00:11:08.200
that shit is not easy so quit looking for the easy way quit looking for the short way quit looking for
00:11:15.720
the fucking overnight success fucking focus down lockdown commit to something for 10 fucking years
00:11:22.520
to be great at it and guess what wherever you are in 10 years it's going to be a hell of a lot better
00:11:28.180
than where you are now otherwise you could just accept where you are now you could stay where you are now
00:11:34.560
you keep bitching about where you are now and your life will fucking suck like most fucking people's lives
00:11:42.300
andy you're being mean no i'm not i'm telling the truth most people hate their fucking lives most
00:11:50.680
people most people hate their jobs they hate their careers they hate their existence and they put on a
00:11:55.920
fake fucking smile for the world to see everything that people tell you all the shit you've been taught
00:12:02.320
by society it's all bullshit there is no quick way there is no easy way and only motherfuckers that win
00:12:09.800
long-term are the ones that are willing to do the shit that they know they need to do when they
