Transcript

00:00:00.420 I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.880 Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.060 What is up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host.
00:00:17.440 And I haven't done a podcast for so long, I forgot my fucking intro.
00:00:21.960 I'm sorry, guys. It has been a crazy few weeks. This is the busiest time of year for me.
00:00:28.820 I've got some major things happening with First Form, Summer Smash, new headquarters, new house, enrollment for next year's RTA class.
00:00:39.260 We've just got all kinds of cool shit going on.
00:00:44.480 And unfortunately, sometimes, because I'm not a social media dedicated person, I actually have real businesses and have a real life.
00:00:52.840 And I'm not just on here pretending to be something, like most everybody else.
00:00:58.480 And yes, that's a fucking shot at everybody that doesn't have a real business, so let's be fucking real.
00:01:05.660 I've been slacking on my podcast game, guys.
00:01:09.280 Now, don't worry. I'm still 75 hard. I'm still in phase one.
00:01:12.980 Today is actually day 100 for me.
00:01:16.680 Today is 100 days of no cheat meals, no alcohol, no miss weight workouts.
00:01:22.980 I did take two days off between phase one and 75 hard, or between 75 hard and phase one.
00:01:29.300 Because I had blisters on my feet that were so bad, I could barely move.
00:01:33.040 So I wanted to see if I could give them a chance to heal, but guess what?
00:01:36.520 They didn't.
00:01:37.140 So here I am, day 20, I believe, of phase one.
00:01:42.540 100 days in.
00:01:44.220 That's a huge deal for me, personally.
00:01:45.920 I know everybody has their challenges, but the food thing and the no alcohol thing for me are massive deals for 100 days straight.
00:01:55.140 I feel really proud about that.
00:01:56.700 I was actually texting my buddy earlier.
00:01:58.960 I'm actually more proud of that than I am anything else I've done, ever, which is fucked up because I've done some pretty cool shit and I've had some great experiences.
00:02:11.240 But the truth is, man, until you guys look at what it is you're weak at and attack that and conquer that, you're always going to feel like you're not in control.
00:02:19.880 You're always going to feel like you're waiting for the circumstances to come crashing down on you.
00:02:26.480 You're waiting for the world to kick you in the ass, you know, and that's how so many people live their life, guys.
00:02:33.480 And the cool thing about 75 Hard Program and the Live Hard Program is that it teaches you how not to become one of these people that is in a constant reactionary state.
00:02:44.240 And it's addicting, man.
00:02:45.480 I was talking to my other buddy, Mike Taylor, who's doing the program with me.
00:02:48.940 He's right along with me.
00:02:49.760 I think he's a few days ahead of me on phase one.
00:02:52.160 But he's been doing it.
00:02:53.540 And I can tell he's doing it because he's physically changing, he's mentally changing, and, you know, and I trust him 100%.
00:03:02.680 I know if he tells me he's doing it, he's doing it, which I can't say for all of you because the truth is some of you guys are not making changes.
00:03:12.080 And you're running through the program as if you think it's this easy thing and treating it like some fucking half-ass internet challenge.
00:03:22.220 And, guys, I can tell by looking at you that you're not following the program.
00:03:27.260 Some of you are over 100 days in and you look fucking the same.
00:03:31.420 You look the same.
00:03:32.280 If you're following a diet and you've gone at it for 100 days with no cheats, you are going to look drastically fucking different.
00:03:39.960 Not a little bit different, drastically different.
00:03:43.780 Okay?
00:03:44.280 So, this is how integrity directly affects your success.
00:03:49.420 This is why integrity is paramount to your success.
00:03:52.740 A lot of you guys look at people who are successful and you think that their integrity is fucked up.
00:03:59.460 I would argue and have argued that their integrity is usually, in most cases, especially nowadays with today's technology, very solid and very good.
00:04:09.560 And what I mean by this is this.
00:04:11.580 Those people who are posting and hashtagging and saying this shit every day but not making any fucking changes and acting like this shit is a piece of cake,
00:04:20.720 I'm going to tell you, it's not a piece of cake.
00:04:23.340 It's hard as fuck.
00:04:24.800 And I see these people smiling and laughing and not making any fucking changes and this.
00:04:29.380 Dude, you're not doing the program.
00:04:31.200 That's it.
00:04:32.200 You're not doing it.
00:04:33.720 I can tell.
00:04:34.300 I know some of the hardest, baddest, toughest people in this world who are doing the program that many of you don't even know are doing it because they're not posting about it.
00:04:44.880 And they will tell you straight up, these are dudes who have done Ironmans and marathons and fucking hard shit.
00:04:51.460 They're going to tell you this is the hardest thing they ever did.
00:04:55.140 And some of you people, the reason you're not successful in life is the same reason you're not seeing physical changes on this program.
00:05:01.420 Because you don't have the integrity to follow through on shit when nobody's watching what you do.
00:05:08.920 That is why integrity is paramount to success.
00:05:12.460 You guys go through your whole day sometimes going through the motions.
00:05:17.020 You do this.
00:05:18.860 You do that.
00:05:19.920 You do what you think people want to see you do.
00:05:23.840 But that extra 2% or 3% or 5% that makes the difference in your results isn't happening because no one's there to watch you do it.
00:05:33.240 Okay?
00:05:34.060 Integrity and success go hand in hand.
00:05:37.760 Especially lasting success.
00:05:40.620 All right?
00:05:40.900 A lot of people out there find financial success and lose it.
00:05:44.900 Usually the reason they lose it has to do with their integrity.
00:05:49.200 It has to do with a lapse in their judgment on what they are doing when everybody's watching.
00:05:55.340 And what they are doing when no one's watching.
00:05:58.280 Okay?
00:05:58.720 And you can relate this to your life right now.
00:06:02.060 You might be going to your work.
00:06:04.320 You might be putting in the hours.
00:06:06.680 You might be showing up on time.
00:06:08.980 You might be staying an extra 10 minutes.
00:06:11.380 But it's what you do during that time that is going to transform your life for the better or for the worse.
00:06:20.720 The people who build amazing careers, who make lots of money, who impact millions of lives, who ultimately find their way to success, whatever success is for them, practice integrity behind closed doors.
00:06:37.800 They aren't just going through the motions for everybody to see.
00:06:43.220 They aren't just hashtagging 75 hard or hashtagging live hard and smiling in the fucking camera and saying, oh, this is great.
00:06:52.500 I love it.
00:06:53.020 It's the best thing.
00:06:53.820 Because that's what everybody else is doing.
00:06:55.840 They don't go to McDonald's where they work and make half-ass french fries when nobody's looking.
00:07:01.420 They make the fucking best motherfucking french fries whether it's a one minute before close or whether it's, you know, the busiest time of the day.
00:07:11.040 All right?
00:07:11.520 This has to do with your personal standards.
00:07:13.900 And the point of this entire program is to raise and elevate and become aware of your standards and then get you in a position where you use momentum and you use the skills that you're going to learn and the awareness that you come to know to improve upon your ability to identify and correct behaviors that are keeping you where it is you don't want to be.
00:07:43.000 All right?
00:07:44.140 And I can see it.
00:07:45.440 I purposely ask people to tag me in their stories for 75 hard because I want to see who's actually doing it.
00:07:54.220 Okay?
00:07:54.700 And if you're actually doing it and you've been doing it for 100 days and you've lost four pounds and you look the fucking same and you've really been doing it, you should be able to look in the mirror and say, man, maybe I need to adjust my fucking diet.
00:08:08.020 Maybe it's not hard enough.
00:08:09.620 Maybe I'm eating too many calories.
00:08:12.240 Okay?
00:08:13.000 This is the point I'm trying to make to you guys.
00:08:16.000 You guys aren't doing the program, some of you.
00:08:20.080 And because you're not doing the program and because you're not doing it and you know you're not really doing it, you're not getting results.
00:08:28.780 All right?
00:08:28.980 Now, most people, and it's like we have this opposites, this polar opposite thing happening with the 75 hard, especially now that we're over 100 days into it.
00:08:38.120 You have people getting fucking amazing results, talking about how it's the greatest thing they ever did, showing their before and afters, talking about the books they read, showing about the progress they made.
00:08:49.640 They're even making more money.
00:08:50.640 They're having more opportunity.
00:08:53.020 They're doing more shit.
00:08:54.020 They're doing more shit.
00:08:54.400 And then you have the opposite of people.
00:08:56.660 You have people who can't really show what books they read.
00:08:59.600 They can't really show how much progress they made physically.
00:09:03.120 And they're pretending like they're doing it because it's the cool thing to do.
00:09:07.340 You people are going to fucking lose your entire life until you wake the fuck up and you start to realize it's not what everybody else thinks.
00:09:15.540 It's not what everybody else sees.
00:09:17.540 It's what you see and it's what you think and it's what you do when nobody else is there to hold your hand.
00:09:26.120 When nobody else is there to point at you and say, ah, ah, ah, don't do that, what are you doing?
00:09:34.060 Because that's what's going to help you and what's going to dictate whether or not you become successful.
00:09:41.920 All right?
00:09:42.980 If you guys are going through this program and you think that this is going to be something easy and it's easy for you and you're not sore and it's just this fun thing, dude, you're not doing it.
00:09:54.820 You're not doing it.
00:09:55.700 I guarantee it.
00:09:56.700 You are not doing it.
00:09:58.060 You are not.
00:09:59.440 I don't care what you fucking say.
00:10:01.260 I don't care what you say.
00:10:03.740 I just don't care.
00:10:04.840 I can tell you're not doing it.
00:10:06.820 And if you're honest with yourself, you know you're not either.
00:10:09.200 You're having an extra handful of fucking this or you're having an extra serving of almonds or you're having an extra protein shake or you're having an extra meal.
00:10:18.260 You might be eating clean, but you're overeating your calories.
00:10:21.340 That's still cheating on your fucking diet, motherfuckers.
00:10:24.100 You guys, if you want to win, you've got to start practicing integrity.
00:10:31.560 All right?
00:10:31.820 A lot of you guys don't even understand what is on the other side of this program because you're treating it as if it's some other bullshit challenge.
00:10:41.700 And because you're quote unquote going through it and you think you're going through it and you think that it's not working well because you're not putting your heart into it, you're going to think it doesn't work when this is the ultimate fucking tool to fix your whole entire life.
00:10:56.620 And there's literally tens of thousands of people that will tell you that already.
00:11:00.580 All right?
00:11:01.100 So that's my little rant on that.
00:11:04.460 Have integrity.
00:11:05.780 It's practical.
00:11:07.660 Okay?
00:11:08.500 It will make you successful.
00:11:10.700 All right?
00:11:11.360 And that brings me to another point.
00:11:14.800 You know, the longer I'm around, the longer I live, the more I notice that there are so many people that could be extremely successful.
00:11:25.080 I look around and I see potential everywhere.
00:11:28.280 I see people who could be very happy.
00:11:32.080 They could be accomplishing really impressive things on a daily basis.
00:11:37.600 They could be growing and developing and impacting people at a blinding speed.
00:11:45.200 They are doing 99% of what they're supposed to do.
00:11:49.160 But there is something stopping them.
00:11:52.840 And what's stopping them is something that we hear all too often.
00:11:57.560 It's fear.
00:11:58.820 Not fear of something that they've actually experienced.
00:12:02.800 It's not logical fear like some relative who criticizes them or some struggle in their life like not being able to pay their bills on time or not being able to lose weight.
00:12:13.580 We've all had those kind of struggles.
00:12:16.700 But these people are most fearful about the things they haven't experienced.
00:12:22.580 They are fearful about the things they might experience in the future.
00:12:27.100 And I'm saying that they are possessed by fear of the unknown.
00:12:33.280 What if this happens?
00:12:34.820 What if this doesn't happen?
00:12:36.620 What if that happens?
00:12:38.080 What if that doesn't happen?
00:12:39.820 And on and on and on and on it goes.
00:12:43.620 They consistently worry themselves in circles.
00:12:47.540 And guys, that's a tragedy.
00:12:49.820 Okay?
00:12:50.420 It's really, really, really fucking tragic.
00:12:53.660 And you know why?
00:12:54.500 Because that's the kind of fear, if it's not attacked, if it's not dealt with, it leads to three things.
00:13:01.780 One, paralysis.
00:13:03.920 People get so frightened about moving towards the future with confidence and swagger that they just do nothing.
00:13:11.340 They stop.
00:13:12.320 They stand still like a deer in the headlights.
00:13:15.180 All right?
00:13:16.080 This is what happens to most people.
00:13:18.140 Now, the second thing that happens is, as a result of them standing still, is they start to become unproductive.
00:13:26.080 If you are paralyzed with fear, you're obviously not feeling hopeful.
00:13:30.840 If you're not feeling hopeful, you're not going to be able to motivate yourself to work.
00:13:35.540 And if you're not going to be able to motivate yourself to work, guess what?
00:13:39.280 The work doesn't get done and neither do the results.
00:13:43.940 Okay?
00:13:44.200 And the third phase of this is regret.
00:13:47.380 All right?
00:13:47.760 And do I need to really connect these dots for you?
00:13:50.040 Because if I do, I should probably send you a helmet to wear every day.
00:13:53.200 All right?
00:13:53.480 If you do nothing, you accomplish nothing.
00:13:56.420 That's common sense.
00:13:57.920 But time, this is the part people don't understand, time still marches on.
00:14:02.420 And every day that passes you by, you're going to say, fuck, I could have done this.
00:14:08.140 I should be here.
00:14:09.640 I didn't achieve my goals.
00:14:10.920 I'm not even one hour closer to my dream life.
00:14:13.840 And that regret is going to start to set in.
00:14:16.700 It's going to creep in a little bit at a time.
00:14:18.680 And the longer that it stays, the more and more it's going to weigh you down until you
00:14:23.820 come to the day you die and say, holy shit, I wasted my entire life.
00:14:31.980 Guys, if you struggle with the fear of the unknown, you cannot beat yourself up.
00:14:36.920 It's a very common thing.
00:14:38.440 I get it.
00:14:39.380 We all get it.
00:14:40.960 All right?
00:14:41.300 I remember early on in business when I was so worried about what might happen when customers
00:14:46.440 came into the store because I literally knew nothing about our business.
00:14:51.060 What if I can't answer their question?
00:14:53.580 What if we don't have specifically what they need?
00:14:56.680 What if they think the price is too high?
00:14:58.760 What if they're in a bad mood and are complete assholes to me?
00:15:02.360 And then I remember worrying about bigger picture stuff too.
00:15:05.420 What if I market our business all wrong?
00:15:07.360 What if I piss everybody off?
00:15:09.480 What if I make a huge accounting mistake and cost us millions of dollars?
00:15:13.700 What if I trust my employees and they fuck me over?
00:15:16.600 Guys, here's the thing.
00:15:18.580 I wasted so much time worrying about all that shit that I literally could have been where
00:15:24.640 I'm at now probably a decade earlier.
00:15:27.660 And guess what?
00:15:28.460 Here's the fucking funny thing about it.
00:15:30.680 Every single one of those things I just mentioned happened to me.
00:15:35.340 Every single one.
00:15:37.080 But am I still here talking to you on the number one business rank podcast on earth?
00:15:42.380 Yes.
00:15:43.120 Did I still end up making millions of dollars every year?
00:15:47.200 Yes.
00:15:48.040 Did I still end up becoming a successful author and speaker?
00:15:52.940 Yes.
00:15:54.080 How did I do all these things with all of this crazy shit happen?
00:15:57.660 Well, guys, write this down because here is what you need to understand.
00:16:02.920 And I guarantee you it will make all the difference in the world to you.
00:16:07.120 It will guarantee your success in business and life.
00:16:11.400 If you can just remind yourself of this.
00:16:15.380 The number one strategy to overcoming fear of the unknown is to go hard in the motherfucking
00:16:21.740 paint on what you do know.
00:16:24.920 And I always knew three things.
00:16:27.440 And I didn't doubt those three things for even one millisecond.
00:16:31.520 First thing is I knew I wanted to help people.
00:16:34.600 I wanted to provide values of their lives.
00:16:36.920 I didn't want to be just some dude who collected money and sat up in my cool house and looked
00:16:42.940 at all the peasants.
00:16:43.760 That's not what I'm about.
00:16:45.620 All right.
00:16:46.040 I want my life to matter.
00:16:47.780 I want my work to matter.
00:16:49.200 And I want to make a lot of fucking money doing it.
00:16:51.660 Okay.
00:16:52.060 The second thing was this.
00:16:53.800 I was willing to work and I was willing to work hard as fuck.
00:16:57.080 And I'm willing to work smart and I'm willing to learn and I'm willing to do those things
00:17:01.340 for a long, long, long time.
00:17:04.400 And I'm willing to bet I will do it longer than anybody else.
00:17:08.980 That's how confident I am in number two.
00:17:11.360 And number three is this.
00:17:12.520 I will never, ever, ever quit.
00:17:17.480 I don't have a plan B.
00:17:19.280 Okay.
00:17:19.540 I took a piss of my plan B and threw it in the fucking dumpster fire years ago.
00:17:23.840 I have a zero options mentality.
00:17:26.800 If this doesn't work, I'm going to be digging ditches.
00:17:29.800 That's the reality.
00:17:31.120 That's what I knew.
00:17:32.160 So it didn't matter to me what I didn't know.
00:17:35.920 What mattered to me is that I went hard on what I do know.
00:17:40.760 And I learned not to fear the unknown because it was irrelevant, guys.
00:17:44.300 I learned that what might happen in the future has literally no bearing on what I was going
00:17:50.360 to do now.
00:17:51.200 And that was the key to me getting where I'm at.
00:17:54.040 And that's going to be the key to getting where I'm going.
00:17:57.640 That's where the fearlessness comes from.
00:18:00.220 It comes from going hard on what you do know and ignoring the shit you don't and letting
00:18:06.320 it organically manifest itself into your life through experience.
00:18:10.840 I never let what I didn't know determine my future.
00:18:16.460 Okay.
00:18:16.760 I don't give a fuck about the unknown.
00:18:19.440 What I want to know is how can I utilize the skills I have to move me forward today?
00:18:27.060 I don't spend time worrying about what might happen.
00:18:30.260 I don't try to focus on what could happen.
00:18:32.940 I focus on what is, and I focus on doing things that help people working as hard as I
00:18:39.960 can and making sure no matter how frustrated I get, I replace those feelings with productive
00:18:46.060 actions.
00:18:47.140 And if you learn to go hard in the motherfucking paint on what you do know, you will never ever
00:18:54.020 have to say what if again.
00:18:57.440 And more importantly, you'll never have to say what might have been.
00:19:09.960 Have a great day.
00:19:18.900 Have a great day.
