00:00:00.000 What's up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am
00:00:13.320 the motherfucking CEO. Today is Thursday Thunder. That means I've got something to say. I've 0.99
00:00:22.600 got something to say that's going to make you think, and it's going to get you to move
00:00:26.780 in the right direction. I want to talk about limits. Ever since I got into the fitness
00:00:34.600 industry and I started learning about how to work out and how to eat properly, which
00:00:38.980 was right as I graduated high school, which was the late 90s, I have always done something
00:00:48.940 in my program that short-circuited, I think, my progress. That was every seven days or
00:00:57.340 every six days, I'd have a whole entire cheat day. Usually on this cheat day, I would eat
00:01:02.560 massive amounts of calories, and I would also drink. I've been able to, for the most part,
00:01:10.880 with a few years gap, stay in pretty good shape, except for whenever I let myself get fat as 0.97
00:01:16.700 shit between the years of 2012 and 15 or 16, I've been able to maintain pretty good shape. 0.73
00:01:24.860 But as I got older, the more and more impact that cheat day affected me. It made more of
00:01:33.100 a negative impact on my progress where I wasn't able to progress the way that I used to progress.
00:01:38.680 And now I'm in my late 30s. You know, I'm working hard to get in shape. I'm working hard
00:01:44.820 to do the things I need to do. But I've always had this limit. All right. I've always been the guy
00:01:52.100 who's looking forward to the cheat day, looking forward to the quote unquote reward. And I've
00:02:00.760 always taken one every six days, like I said. So that's always been instilled in my brain as a
00:02:08.820 limit as a mental limit. I can't go more than six days without having a cheat day. And recently,
00:02:15.140 because I learned that my body was no longer able to do the things that it was able to do when I was
00:02:22.040 in my mid 20s or late 20s. I realized that I was going to have to do better than an entire cheat day.
00:02:29.700 Okay. And so what I did was I forced myself to make it through that seventh day. And I had never
00:02:38.800 been able to do that before. Never, never, never, never. I had never been able to make it through
00:02:43.640 the full week without taking a cheat day. Never in my life. Okay. I forced myself to do it. All right.
00:02:53.400 Then I forced myself to stay on the next day after that and the next day after that and the next day
00:02:58.000 after that. And you know what happened? I developed a super, super strong sense of accomplishment and sense
00:03:07.000 of confidence and control. Okay. And the reason I want to talk to you guys about this is because
00:03:13.140 we always have limits in our brains that, and they are always mental. There are always things that stop
00:03:20.920 us. There are points in our progress that we self-destruct. There are points in our progress
00:03:26.760 that we want to stop. There are points in our progress when we tell ourselves, I cannot go any
00:03:32.440 further. And you have to realize that when you hit these limits, these limits are what keep you
00:03:40.460 insecure, what keep you feeling out of control, what keep you feeling at the mercy of other situations
00:03:47.460 and circumstances. And my message to you today, guys, is to figure out what your limits are. Figure
00:03:54.400 out where your limits are physically. Figure out where your limits are in your career. Figure out where
00:03:59.220 your limits are in your relationships. Figure out what your mental limits are. Identify them and make
00:04:05.660 it a point to push through. And I know that sounds cheesy. It sounds like some Rocky movie. Quote,
00:04:11.600 unquote, push through your limits, man. You could do it. Look, there is a very strong psychological
00:04:19.120 benefit of control and confidence that comes along with you pushing through your limits. When you take
00:04:25.640 something that is mentally limiting, all right, I can't run more than a mile. I can't diet for more
00:04:32.500 than six days. I can't work more than 60 hours. And you push it to the maximum. You are no longer
00:04:40.680 someone who is at the mercy of that mental thought. You are someone who has taken that limit and fucking 1.00
00:04:48.080 destroyed it to the point where you know that you are in control of everything that you do from that 0.99
00:04:55.820 point on. Now, that seven-day diet that I had an issue with sounds like it's not that hard. But for
00:05:03.220 me, and it might not be hard for you, but for me, that was a huge roadblock. A huge roadblock that I'm now
00:05:10.780 over. And now I'm proud to say I've gone 18 days straight without a cheat meal or a cheat day.
00:05:17.000 All right. And I've developed extreme confidence. I'm getting ready to leave to go to Las Vegas
00:05:21.660 today as you guys listen to this. And I know that I'm going to be able to go to Vegas and I'm going
00:05:28.460 to go there and I'm going to have fun and I'm going to eat some good fucking food and be a normal human 0.99
00:05:32.240 for a couple of days. And when I come back, I know that I will be able to get right back on track. 0.99
00:05:37.820 I don't have that doubt. I don't have that thought of, well, can I do it this time? I fucking know I
00:05:44.180 can do it. And that is the value in having limits, identifying limits and forcing yourself, no matter 0.98
00:05:51.920 how agonizing it may be, no matter how much of a struggle it may be, no matter how frustrating it may
00:06:00.000 be, forcing yourself to power through what your perceived mental limits are. Okay. When you do that,
00:06:07.540 when you take control of your progress and take control of what you dictate your limits to be, 0.99
00:06:16.460 that's when powerful shit starts to happen. That's when your career starts to take off. 0.88
00:06:22.240 That's when you start seeing physical development that you never saw before.
00:06:25.680 That's where you start thinking things you never thought before. That's where people start responding
00:06:31.020 to you in a way they never responded before. If you want to figure out how to accelerate your success,
00:06:37.240 in any area of life, take a minute and think about these mental thoughts that are holding you back.
00:06:43.820 Why aren't you successful? Why aren't you in shape? Why don't you have good relationships?
00:06:49.580 What are the things that you tell yourself you can't do? And you need to make it a fucking point 0.99
00:06:55.320 to go out and purposefully put yourself in those situations for no other reason than for you to push 0.98
00:07:03.960 through them so that you can gain the control and gain the confidence that you're going to need for
00:07:09.600 the rest of your journey. That's my message to you guys. Identify your limits, own your limits,
00:07:16.440 push through your limits, and get stronger in every fucking way. 0.99
