00:00:00.000 I wanna be a motherfucking hustler, you better ask somebody
00:00:03.760 What is up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO Project
00:00:15.380 I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO
00:00:20.520 Guys, today is Thursday Thunder
00:00:24.000 If you don't know what Thursday Thunder is, you better fucking ask somebody
00:00:26.880 It's the day that we come in, we rip your fucking face off
00:00:30.520 And we throw it to the puppy dogs
00:00:33.100 I don't know, it just sounded cool, so I went with it
00:00:36.040 Guys, Thursday Thunder, motivation, Tuesdays, practical knowledge
00:00:39.780 That's how we roll
00:00:40.700 Thursday Thunder is solo, Tuesdays with Vaughn the Impaler
00:00:45.180 And Tyler, the salmon shorts wear
00:00:48.700 So guys, look, I wanna tell you a story today
00:00:53.880 I wanna talk to you about something that I feel is very important
00:00:59.580 And I'm gonna use a story about myself and one of my passions to explain it
00:01:04.460 As you guys may know, I'm very into cars
00:01:08.760 I've always loved cars, I've always been a big car fanatic
00:01:12.320 Since I was very, very young
00:01:14.740 And they're a huge passion of mine
00:01:18.160 And some of you may know that there's a new car coming out
00:01:23.020 The 2017 Ford GT, which is very, very exclusive
00:01:26.680 They're only making 250 cars the first year
00:01:29.300 And to get one, you had to actually fill out an application
00:01:33.960 And meet certain requirements
00:01:35.320 And the requirements were you had to have a social media presence
00:01:38.120 You had to be a previous Ford slash Ford GT owner
00:01:41.620 And you had to make a video explaining why you should get a car
00:01:46.700 Very unorthodox thing for most car companies to do
00:01:50.700 But with the amount of cars that they were not producing
00:01:54.220 And the amount of demand
00:01:55.460 Because the old Ford GT, the 05 and 06
00:01:57.800 There was 4,000 cars
00:01:59.160 There's only 250 of these cars first year
00:02:01.720 That means there's huge demand, okay
00:02:04.840 There's lots of guys who have lots of money trying to get these cars
00:02:08.500 And you cannot just go buy one
00:02:10.440 You have to be hand-selected by Ford to have the opportunity to buy one
00:02:14.320 So, when I fill out my application
00:02:17.620 I, you know, clearly I have social media presence
00:02:22.100 I'm getting, you know, plenty of exposure there
00:02:24.460 I do have two previous Ford GTs
00:02:27.340 And people would say, oh Andy, well you're a Sherlock for that
00:02:30.340 Well no, you've got to consider the fact that like
00:02:32.040 There's guys that are celebrities
00:02:33.760 There's guys that are Jay Leno
00:02:36.380 There's guys that have five, six, seven, eight Ford GTs
00:02:40.160 I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's really a cult following
00:02:43.300 So, I was not really sure if those two things were going to get it done for me
00:02:50.640 So, when it came time to make the video portion of the application
00:02:54.780 I waited until the last day, alright
00:02:57.920 I waited until the last day for a reason
00:03:01.760 I wanted to look and see what everybody else was doing
00:03:05.300 Alright, I wanted to watch what they were doing
00:03:07.360 I wanted to see how they were doing it
00:03:09.000 And I wanted to make sure that what I did stood out from that
00:03:13.200 So, when we got two or three days out from the deadline
00:03:17.060 Tyler and I sat down and started Googling the videos
00:03:21.060 And what we saw was like almost embarrassing
00:03:23.740 It was like dudes standing in front of their garage
00:03:27.960 Like basically kissing Ford's ass
00:03:30.740 Talking about how good of an ambassador they're going to be
00:03:33.240 Or they were bragging about how many cars they owned
00:03:35.660 Or they would just talk and talk and talk about the new Ford GT
00:03:40.700 And how important it was to them
00:03:42.500 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
00:03:43.860 It was disappointing, man
00:03:47.000 Like I expected to see some very good videos
00:03:50.020 There was minimal effort put out
00:03:51.760 It just wasn't something that I was impressed by
00:03:55.680 So, what did I do?
00:03:58.920 I went out and made the baddest fucking video
00:04:02.480 That was ever fucking made about Ford GTs
00:04:04.840 In the history of Earth
00:04:05.680 And if you saw my application video
00:04:08.720 You know that I'm not lying, okay
00:04:10.980 I posted the video
00:04:11.900 It got reposted by all the major car websites
00:04:14.040 It got tremendous traction
00:04:16.280 It went viral
00:04:17.560 It got people talking about myself and Ford
00:04:21.020 And telling Ford that I needed the car
00:04:23.340 Okay
00:04:24.180 Now, after I made the video
00:04:27.100 And after I had seen the video
00:04:28.480 Because I was unsure before
00:04:30.140 The minute I made the video
00:04:31.960 And I saw the video
00:04:32.840 I knew for sure I was going to get a fucking car
00:04:35.640 Alright
00:04:36.280 Why did I know for sure?
00:04:38.280 Because I kicked everybody's fucking ass
00:04:40.520 In the one aspect that everybody else sucked in
00:04:45.420 Alright
00:04:46.180 What it means is
00:04:48.280 And what the lesson I want to tie to this is
00:04:50.640 Guys
00:04:50.900 Is I did not leave it up to chance
00:04:53.220 Okay
00:04:54.340 So many people go through their whole lives
00:04:57.100 Leaving things up to chance
00:04:59.360 They go 40, 50, 60, 75% of the way
00:05:03.040 Let's just call it three quarters of the way
00:05:05.580 To a job well done
00:05:07.640 And they leave the rest up
00:05:09.400 To somebody else
00:05:10.780 Okay
00:05:11.600 That is loser mentality
00:05:13.740 Alright
00:05:14.560 You have to understand how important it is
00:05:18.540 To go all the way
00:05:20.820 To go the extra mile
00:05:22.440 To do things in such a way
00:05:24.660 That it forces people to take note of you
00:05:28.960 Whether that be
00:05:30.020 Developing exceptional skill
00:05:32.460 Or whether that be going
00:05:33.960 So far above and beyond
00:05:36.000 Your job requirements at work
00:05:38.000 Or whether it be
00:05:39.160 Doing something extraordinary
00:05:41.080 To attract the mate you want
00:05:42.700 It doesn't matter
00:05:44.740 It applies to all areas
00:05:46.320 You have to let go
00:05:47.700 Of the idea of leaving things to chance
00:05:49.960 Winners don't do that
00:05:51.640 Winners go so far
00:05:53.680 And above and beyond
00:05:55.480 What is actually expected
00:05:57.700 Quote unquote
00:05:59.140 The extra mile
00:06:00.060 Or exceeding expectations
00:06:01.420 That they do not leave anything up to chance
00:06:05.400 They force
00:06:06.460 The result
00:06:08.260 And I get it guys
00:06:09.720 There is some times
00:06:11.080 Where not everything is in your control
00:06:13.700 But you have to separate
00:06:15.500 The idea
00:06:17.120 Of leaving things up to chance
00:06:19.900 Or using the idea
00:06:21.300 That things are not in your control
00:06:22.800 As an excuse
00:06:23.960 Lots of people hide behind that
00:06:26.860 They will say
00:06:27.940 Oh you know
00:06:28.620 Well it's this person's will
00:06:30.300 Or it's the company's decision
00:06:31.740 Or it's God's will
00:06:33.940 And some things are God's will
00:06:35.560 But most of the time
00:06:37.520 When it comes to success
00:06:38.840 Most of the time
00:06:40.120 When it comes to getting a result
00:06:41.720 Most of the time
00:06:43.020 When it comes to producing big
00:06:45.000 And earning big
00:06:46.340 It's not somebody else's will
00:06:48.880 It's your fucking will
00:06:50.140 And what keeps you from getting to that spot
00:06:53.080 Is your inability to recognize
00:06:55.580 That you are in control
00:06:57.460 Of that last 20 to 25 percent
00:06:59.960 You are in control
00:07:01.280 Of putting so much effort
00:07:03.880 Into something
00:07:04.540 That people have to notice
00:07:05.960 Whether it's your employer
00:07:07.120 Whether it's your customer
00:07:08.600 It doesn't matter
00:07:09.880 You have to go that far
00:07:12.680 You have to force their eyeballs on you
00:07:16.300 You have to make people say
00:07:18.380 Well fuck
00:07:19.200 That guy's definitely the right guy for the job
00:07:21.480 Look how much better he is than everybody else
00:07:23.820 Okay
00:07:24.780 But we have a tendency as humans
00:07:27.140 To do what everybody else is doing
00:07:29.520 We look around at the people
00:07:31.080 Who are our peers
00:07:32.200 And we say
00:07:32.760 Okay well
00:07:33.180 John's doing 80 percent
00:07:35.480 Mary's doing 80 percent 1.00
00:07:36.820 Susie
00:07:37.740 She's doing 72 percent
00:07:39.520 So you know what
00:07:40.400 I'm going to do fucking 81 percent
00:07:41.800 And I'm better than them
00:07:43.340 No
00:07:43.880 You're not
00:07:44.680 Because you're not
00:07:45.800 That much better
00:07:46.860 To the point
00:07:47.500 Where it's fucking obvious
00:07:48.960 That you're better
00:07:50.300 Okay
00:07:51.740 That we're talking about
00:07:53.280 Everything in life here
00:07:54.300 We can talk about fitness
00:07:55.140 We can talk about relationships
00:07:56.180 We can talk about business
00:07:57.220 We can talk about your career
00:07:58.480 Within a company
00:07:59.300 We can talk about being an entrepreneur
00:08:01.040 What we're talking about here
00:08:02.420 Is the extra set in the gym
00:08:05.280 What we're talking about here
00:08:06.620 Is the extra 10 minutes of cardio
00:08:08.440 What we're talking about here
00:08:09.960 Is you making sure
00:08:11.380 That you leave your workspace spotless
00:08:13.420 That you don't even
00:08:14.400 Not just leave your workspace spotless
00:08:16.580 That you clean everybody else's fucking workspace
00:08:18.880 That your project doesn't get done
00:08:21.020 At the last minute
00:08:21.700 That it's done a week ahead of time
00:08:23.200 And it's exceeded the expectations
00:08:25.700 Of your superiors
00:08:27.160 To the point
00:08:28.100 Where they use your fucking project
00:08:30.340 To teach everybody else
00:08:32.180 How to do something
00:08:33.640 That's what we're talking about
00:08:35.720 That's taking control
00:08:37.140 That is not leaving things up to chance
00:08:40.820 And guys
00:08:41.900 This is a skill
00:08:43.000 This is not a habit
00:08:45.180 This is not something you're gifted with
00:08:47.640 This is something you learn
00:08:48.800 This is something you practice
00:08:50.060 And eventually
00:08:51.140 Yes
00:08:51.540 It does become a habit
00:08:52.900 But it's not one that people
00:08:54.400 Automatically have
00:08:55.480 You have to go
00:08:57.200 The extra mile
00:08:58.740 You have to go
00:09:00.080 All in
00:09:00.960 You have to quit
00:09:02.660 Leaving things
00:09:04.480 Up to chance
00:09:05.820 If you want to win
00:09:07.300 Winners do not
00:09:08.960 Leave things to chance
00:09:10.180 There's not a fucking millionaire
00:09:11.820 Or a billionaire
00:09:13.040 On the face of this fucking earth
00:09:15.260 That leaves things to chance
00:09:18.060 They do every fucking thing
00:09:20.520 That they possibly can
00:09:21.980 That they are in control of
00:09:25.160 Every single time
00:09:26.560 Every single day
00:09:27.980 For a long
00:09:29.700 Long long long time
00:09:30.820 To win
00:09:31.960 They control the table
00:09:34.600 They understand
00:09:35.860 The last 20%
00:09:37.020 Is what separates
00:09:38.060 Them from everybody else
00:09:40.180 It's what separates you
00:09:41.660 From where you want to be
00:09:43.040 It's what separates average
00:09:46.020 From fucking
00:09:47.260 The masters of the motherfucking universe
00:09:50.420 It's the last 20%
00:09:52.800 It's accepting that you're in control
00:09:55.020 And you're going to do everything
00:09:56.420 In your power
00:09:57.540 To win
00:09:58.600 Guys
00:10:00.820 You have to develop the skill
00:10:02.720 You have to make it a habit
00:10:05.180 You have to do the extra shit
00:10:07.720 And we talk about it
00:10:08.980 And I know
00:10:09.380 It's a broken record
00:10:10.580 Do the work
00:10:11.260 Do the fucking work
00:10:12.140 Blah blah blah
00:10:12.680 Blah blah blah blah
00:10:13.140 Well you know what
00:10:14.380 That's what it fucking comes down to
00:10:16.340 So you can talk about it
00:10:18.740 Or you can fucking be about it
00:10:20.560 But at the end of the day
00:10:21.900 People who win
00:10:22.920 Don't leave shit to chance
00:10:24.580 They go so far
00:10:26.360 Above and beyond
00:10:27.620 To separate themselves
00:10:28.640 From everybody else
00:10:29.640 That people
00:10:30.720 Can't help
00:10:32.080 But notice
00:10:32.740 And if you want to fucking win
00:10:33.980 That's what you have to do too
00:10:35.400 This is for the G's 0.97
00:10:37.740 And this is for the Hustler
00:10:39.080 This is for the Hustlers
00:10:40.280 Now back to the G's
00:10:41.700 This is for the G's 0.97
