What's up guys, you're listening to a Thursday Thunder episode of the MFCEO Project.
00:00:26.300
I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:29.680
As you guys know, we are always, always, always trying to bring you the heat, bring you the
00:00:35.000
motivation, bring you the knowledge, so that you can take control of your own life.
00:00:39.520
And I want to just riff on something here real quick, it's not, we don't have an agenda,
00:00:44.620
I don't have a piece of paper sitting in front of me, it's just me and you talking here, and
00:00:47.720
I want you guys to think about something, and it's only going to take a minute, all right?
00:00:53.200
Look, as you guys know if you've been following me, I have been very, very serious about my
00:01:02.440
Being the CEO of multiple companies, being busy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I can make
00:01:09.120
I've let myself go, that's the bottom line, okay?
00:01:11.920
I've spent 15 years staying in excellent, excellent, excellent shape.
00:01:16.000
The last two or three years, I've not, I've started to enjoy it, you know, let myself enjoy
00:01:20.980
a few too many whiskeys and a few too many pizzas, and things have gotten out of hand.
00:01:24.420
So if you follow me, you know that I have been very, very dedicated to this cause and
00:01:30.880
this mission, which I am to all the missions I have, okay?
00:01:34.120
So I started on January 4th, here it is, February 18th.
00:01:41.780
And this morning when I got up to go to the gym, this was the first day I woke up in this
00:01:48.760
whole time where I just really didn't want to go.
00:01:51.140
I didn't want to do the thing that I know I needed to do to accomplish my goal.
00:01:56.000
I didn't want to go to the gym, I didn't feel like sweating, I didn't feel like doing my
00:01:59.780
cardio, I didn't feel like lifting, and I would honestly have rather done anything than
00:02:09.940
I got up and I went and fucking did it, alright?
00:02:12.380
I went in, I did my cardio, I did my weights, I came out ready to fucking throw up, and I
00:02:19.040
felt good about it, but it got me thinking guys, and it got me thinking about not just
00:02:24.620
fitness, but life and business and everything, alright?
00:02:28.760
We talk about doing things, and then we talk about doing things when we don't feel like
00:02:35.660
And if you've heard me speak live, you know that I talk about doing it anyway, and I talk
00:02:41.320
about taking control of the days that you don't feel like doing it.
00:02:45.860
But what we don't talk about is starting to love those kind of days, alright?
00:02:55.140
And the reason I call them test days is because it's the day that you are testing yourself,
00:03:00.500
and you are testing your will, you are testing your mentality, you're testing your discipline,
00:03:05.120
you're testing your dedication, and you find out what you're really made of on these days,
00:03:11.660
And the way you become good at understanding and knowing and believing that you could accomplish
00:03:21.580
anything is by conquering the days that you're tested, the days that you test yourself,
00:03:25.880
okay, and how do you become good at becoming good at testing yourself and becoming good
00:03:35.400
You got to start with doing them on the absolute hardest days that there possibly are, okay?
00:03:41.860
Those are the days like today where I didn't want to get up and go to the gym.
00:03:48.520
But I did it anyway because I'm fucking dedicated to this goal.
00:03:53.680
I'm dedicated to making sure that I don't make an ass out of myself after opening my mouth
00:03:57.960
about how I'm going to get in shape this year and not getting in shape.
00:04:04.580
And we talk a lot about, you know, doing it anyway and doing the work and doing this and that
00:04:10.900
But the real key, I think, that differentiates people from successful and not successful
00:04:20.620
It's the days that you know what you need to do but you just don't fucking do it or you
00:04:27.900
And the key to becoming extremely successful in any of the areas of life that you want to
00:04:33.480
conquer is going to be to not only learn to love these test days but learn how to fucking
00:04:38.620
dominate every single time you have one, alright?
00:04:42.220
Learn how to get excited when that feeling creeps in of I don't want to do it.
00:04:46.560
Learn how to get excited when that feeling creeps in of I'm not feeling like it.
00:04:51.360
Learn how to get excited when that feeling creeps in of I'd rather be doing something
00:04:59.860
This is the day I'm going to find out if my goals really are my goals, okay?
00:05:04.480
It's not good enough just to say, oh, I'm doing good on my test days and today was rough
00:05:10.300
No, I'm talking about looking yourself in the mirror, looking yourself in the eye and
00:05:15.000
saying, I'm going to fucking dominate today better than any other day, okay?
00:05:20.060
And that's a mentality you cultivate whenever you look at these test days and the opportunity
00:05:24.420
to improve your strength, your dedication, your determination, your mental will, your mental
00:05:29.980
toughness and that's how you get where you want to be.
00:05:32.800
And guys, I deal with dozens if not hundreds of millionaires on a weekly basis.
00:05:38.340
And I can tell you right now, every single one of those motherfuckers loves test days.
00:05:45.540
They love looking themselves in the mirror and challenging themselves.
00:05:48.340
They love the feeling of not feeling like doing something and then going and kicking its
00:05:56.800
It's easy to do shit when you feel like doing shit.
00:06:01.480
It's easy to do shit when you feel like, oh, you know, I really feel like going out and doing
00:06:10.760
What really means something is when you don't feel like doing something and you go out and
00:06:14.860
you kick its ass regardless of how you're feeling.
00:06:20.260
Recognize the way you learn to dominate your test days is by kicking ass every single time.
00:06:31.920
Those test days will not become something you dread.
00:06:36.240
And when those test days become something that you live for, something you look forward
00:06:40.860
to, now you're talking about a whole different level of mindset.
00:06:44.980
You're talking about a whole different level of momentum.
00:06:47.260
You're talking about an unstoppable fucking force of nature that cannot be fucked with in
