Andy talks about the difference between a CEO and a boss and how to be a good one. Also, a company cancels an order that was supposed to arrive on Tuesday, but it arrived on Wednesday, and they won't even waive the signature on the order.
00:00:00.440I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.920Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.260What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:19.300Guys, today, fuck, I don't even know what day it is. I'm just gonna roll. I think it's Wednesday, and I think you're gonna hear this on Thursday.
00:00:27.260So this would be a Thursday thunder. That's how busy I am right now.
00:00:32.660If this is your first time listening, this is called the MFCEO Project. That stands for motherfucking CEO Project.
00:00:42.000Couple elements going on there. One, the MF. Obviously, there's a difference between a CEO and a motherfucking CEO.
00:00:52.260And a motherfucking CEO is someone who understands the power, the control, how to dictate their journey, how to do it with some swagger, how to take ownership of their life and have a good time doing it, inspiring others, bringing others up.
00:01:10.880Okay? It's not some boring little dude in his office in a $5,000 suit with cool jewelry on.
00:01:20.280And I like watches, just gonna say. I like watches a lot.
00:01:23.580But the typical idea of what a CEO is, is not what the modern CEO is going to look like.
00:01:33.260The modern CEO is going to be someone who, honestly, looks a lot like you.
00:01:40.440And the reason that this is called a project is because our goal here is to tell people and teach people and show people what it truly takes to succeed.
00:01:54.260It's not about buying programs. It's not about attending seminars.
00:01:58.560It's not about subscribing to my academy or any of this other bullshit.
00:02:03.500It's about understanding that we have been told a shitload of lies and us as a group, us as a community, working to eradicate that mentality from society.
00:02:21.020We see it everywhere we go. I don't need to cover it. I don't think.
00:02:25.220But, no, I'm not going to because it's going to get me mad.
00:02:28.860And I am already mad today. I am fucking mad.
00:02:31.580My day started with literally the most ridiculous conversation from a company that I've had in a long time.
00:02:39.640I'm not going to name the company because I'm going to give them a second chance.
00:02:43.400But I'll just give you a little bit of rundown.
00:02:46.200I've been a customer of this company for 10 years.
00:10:02.080The first kind of person will let that day push their emotional state into such a negative place that they start not only making everybody around them uncomfortable,
00:10:16.600but actually saying things that are damaging to other people, damage trust, damage relationships, damage their ability to have respect on the good days because they're having a bad day.
00:10:33.280You guys don't realize the full consequences of your actions.
00:10:37.400It's very easy to be in a bad mood and say something or come off a certain way and, you know, offend people or hurt people or damage people.
00:10:49.180And what you don't realize is that those have consequences on the long term because the truth is this, guys.
00:10:56.060It doesn't matter if you apologize whenever you do things like that.
00:11:03.120And that is what people do and that is why people have a hard time succeeding long term because if you have, let's say, one or two of these days a week,
00:11:14.540you're automatically branded as the black sheep.
00:11:17.720You're automatically branded as the person nobody wants to be around or listen to and you're definitely not in the conversation of who do I want to do business with?
00:11:34.780You all have consequences to your energy and you all have to deal with those consequences regardless if you actually meant to say those things or do those things or not.
00:13:12.420How do you control what some other company does to piss you off to keep you from going down this dark place?
00:13:21.060Well, here's one way to think about it, and this is how I think about it.
00:13:23.940I'm going to become so fucking successful that I have somebody make those fucking orders for me and I don't even have to deal with that shit.
00:13:33.980That's the way you should be thinking.
00:13:36.160You should be looking at every inconvenience.
00:13:38.640You should be looking at every struggle.
00:13:40.440You should be looking at every single thing as something to use as energy so that you can then move beyond that, not just today, not just tomorrow, but forever.
00:13:57.320And if you can't straighten out your thought process and use it to control your emotions, you're going to have a very hard time succeeding because every single person is going to feel every single thing that you feel.
00:14:10.280And because we are human and all of our emotions are all over the fucking radar, depending on what's going on at the time, you have to be consciously aware of what you're putting out.
00:14:23.620And by the way, if you're doing 75 hard, you're already starting to realize this if you're eight or nine days in, okay?
00:14:31.080You're starting to become aware of your willingness and ability to actually cut corners.
00:14:37.840And best part is you're starting to catch yourself and not cut them.
00:14:41.160And not just in your program that is defined by 75 hard, but also in all your other daily activities that align with them.
00:14:47.880I think if you're eight or nine days in right now, you're starting to see a little bit of the point of what this program is all about, which is building the building blocks that will create the life that you want.
00:14:57.320But the point is here, guys, summarizing this, you have two choices.
00:15:03.560One, you can let the outside circumstances dictate your mood, which dictates your actions, which dictate your consequences and results for the rest of your life.
00:15:11.740And you can be someone who kind of floats along like a buoy in the ocean and kind of just floats along and lets the current take it where it may.
00:15:23.160Depending on other people's energy, you can be in a reactive state or you can be in control and you could be in an active state.
00:15:30.460And when days happen where all this shit is out of your control, instead of taking it out on other people, you can take it out on tasks and activities that are going to push you forward so that you ultimately don't have to deal with any of this ridiculous bullshit that we get from other people.
00:16:13.420It's about who you are now and what changes need to happen to get to that place.
00:16:20.280See, everybody talks about where they want to be and what their goals are and what their ideal existence is, what kind of shape they want to be in,
00:16:29.360what kind of money they want to be in, what kind of house they want to live in, what kind of car they want to drive, what kind of relationship they want to have.
00:16:39.500But people miss the second part, and the second part is taking inventory of who you are right now in an honest way and then figuring out the changes that need to happen because that takes guts.
00:16:55.760It's hard to look in the mirror and say, you know what, dude, you're lazy as fuck.
00:17:01.160You know what, dude, you're kind of a dick.
00:17:03.740You know what, man, you're not as good as you think you are.
00:17:06.960You know what, you know what, you know what.
00:17:09.360And that's a hard conversation to have because you can't hide from it.
00:17:14.420And everybody, including you, including me, we're taught to brush all the other shit aside that needs to be addressed and to never address it.
00:17:25.180So becoming someone who gets what it is you ultimately want has a lot more to do with addressing who you are now and saying what I need to become than it is about visualizing all the shit that you want.
00:17:41.820That's the difference between hoping you get somewhere and knowing you're going to get somewhere.
00:17:47.800That's the difference between dreamers and fucking doers.
00:17:51.300It's the difference between I could have been or I am.
00:17:59.180And it all starts with taking control of the days that you seem to be out of control.
00:18:07.140And by the way, if you're looking for an actual program to give you the discipline that you need in a very short amount of time so that you can be 100% in control of the times you're out of control,
00:18:24.080you need to go back and listen to the 75 Hard Podcast, which is actually the one right before this one, and you need to do the program.
00:18:31.540This is not a physical fitness journey.
00:18:38.280It is a journey of creating the building blocks that you need.
00:18:43.700Everybody out there is trying to sell you a program on how to make more money, how to pick up chicks, how to get in shape, how to, how to, how to, how to.
