Summary

People are so quick to point the finger and say "luck" when they see something big, because they believe it's the result of luck. But what if it's not luck? What if it is faith in the process and the work? Or is it something else?


Transcript

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
00:00:15.260 I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO
00:00:20.020 Guys, if you're new, welcome
00:00:22.640 Tuesdays, practical advice
00:00:25.040 Thursdays, Thursday thunder
00:00:27.520 Today is a Thursday
00:00:30.280 Guess what that means, Thursday thunder
00:00:33.160 Thursday thunder is a little bit different than what we normally do on Tuesday
00:00:38.640 Tuesday we say practical advice, that means actual tools that you can implement into your life
00:00:44.020 That is what practical means
00:00:46.040 Thursday thunder, rip your fucking face off
00:00:50.180 Mushrooms slap you in the side of the head
00:00:52.680 Leave you wanting to go home and think about your life
00:00:57.680 And wonder why the fuck you listen to this podcast
00:01:00.260 Guys, today I wanna talk to you about something
00:01:04.560 I wanna, I've got something that's bothering me
00:01:07.100 I've got something that just annoys me so bad
00:01:10.900 And it's the fact
00:01:13.660 Of this
00:01:15.080 How many people out there
00:01:19.860 Are willing to look
00:01:22.760 At a situation
00:01:25.740 And point their finger
00:01:27.860 And say
00:01:29.160 That's luck
00:01:30.380 They look at a pro athlete
00:01:32.880 And they say
00:01:34.000 That's luck
00:01:35.080 He was born that way
00:01:36.440 They look at a successful business person
00:01:38.860 They say
00:01:39.720 Man, he was in the right place at the right time
00:01:42.620 That's luck
00:01:43.500 They look at somebody who become a famous actor
00:01:46.860 And they say
00:01:47.700 Oh, if he wasn't in that coffee shop at this specific time
00:01:51.420 He would have never been who he is
00:01:53.940 Because he would have never got discovered
00:01:55.500 It's luck
00:01:56.620 Okay
00:01:57.940 People are so quick
00:01:59.560 To point the finger
00:02:01.720 And say luck
00:02:02.860 When they see something big
00:02:05.740 All right
00:02:07.140 And here's the irony
00:02:09.080 That I wanna talk about here
00:02:11.020 When you take that same person
00:02:14.660 And you talk to them
00:02:17.880 About work
00:02:19.240 And putting in the work up front
00:02:21.660 And putting in the work
00:02:23.060 Before they actually earn the paycheck
00:02:26.500 Or before they actually produce the result
00:02:29.540 They don't believe in the faith
00:02:33.060 They don't believe that if they do what they need to do
00:02:40.700 If they follow the plan
00:02:42.760 That somebody else lays out for them
00:02:45.220 They don't believe that the result will be there
00:02:49.160 Because they don't believe in the faith
00:02:52.100 They don't have the faith
00:02:54.520 Two concepts
00:02:58.000 Luck and faith
00:02:59.840 Both
00:03:01.480 Unforeseen
00:03:03.680 Worldly mystical forces
00:03:06.180 That you can't verify
00:03:08.940 With concrete data
00:03:11.260 Or
00:03:11.920 Tangible touch
00:03:13.580 But
00:03:14.660 People choose to believe in one
00:03:17.660 And not believe in the other one
00:03:20.540 Why is that
00:03:22.220 Because I can tell you right now
00:03:24.860 If you take a hundred motherfuckers
00:03:27.280 That believe in luck
00:03:29.280 And compare them
00:03:32.440 To a hundred people
00:03:34.660 Who believe
00:03:35.700 In faith
00:03:37.200 In the result
00:03:38.080 Of the work
00:03:39.060 You're gonna have
00:03:42.060 A hundred people
00:03:43.360 Who have built
00:03:45.000 Some level
00:03:46.440 Of success
00:03:47.540 Versus a hundred people
00:03:50.060 Who haven't built
00:03:51.680 A damn thing
00:03:53.380 Two parallel ideas
00:03:58.460 Two parallel forces
00:04:00.600 Luck
00:04:01.560 And faith
00:04:02.460 What's the difference?
00:04:04.440 Well I'll tell you the difference
00:04:05.680 One
00:04:06.680 Requires you
00:04:08.160 To get up off your fucking ass
00:04:10.400 And do something
00:04:11.920 The other one doesn't
00:04:15.220 One requires you
00:04:17.700 To take responsibility
00:04:18.980 For your actions
00:04:20.740 And admit to yourself
00:04:23.120 That
00:04:23.820 If I do this work
00:04:26.280 I will get this result
00:04:28.380 And I either want to do this work
00:04:33.100 Bad enough
00:04:34.340 Because I want this result
00:04:35.600 Bad enough
00:04:36.160 Or I don't
00:04:36.900 The other one
00:04:38.120 Let's you sit on your couch
00:04:40.820 Watching the most current episode
00:04:43.460 Of The Walking Dead
00:04:44.940 Eating your fucking bonbons
00:04:47.880 And pointing your finger
00:04:50.460 At everybody else
00:04:52.620 Who has done something
00:04:54.080 That you
00:04:54.980 Are
00:04:55.960 Capable
00:04:56.920 Of doing
00:04:57.920 And saying
00:04:59.880 That guy's lucky
00:05:02.120 What kind of person
00:05:07.100 Are you?
00:05:09.480 Are you the kind of person
00:05:11.360 That will accept responsibility
00:05:13.360 For your own actions
00:05:15.380 Your own beliefs
00:05:16.700 Your own results
00:05:18.500 Or are you the kind of person
00:05:21.500 That points at everybody else
00:05:23.380 And says
00:05:24.320 That guy's got something
00:05:26.380 I don't
00:05:26.960 That guy was born with something
00:05:28.860 I don't have
00:05:29.600 He was raised in circumstances
00:05:31.220 That I don't have
00:05:32.300 He has this
00:05:33.560 That I don't have
00:05:34.600 And he's just a lucky motherfucker
00:05:36.680 What kind of person
00:05:39.260 Are you?
00:05:39.740 Because
00:05:40.580 That simple
00:05:42.460 Delineation
00:05:44.580 Between your belief system
00:05:46.240 Of what we're talking about
00:05:48.000 Right here
00:05:48.560 Is a
00:05:49.300 One million
00:05:50.660 Percent
00:05:51.860 Indicator
00:05:53.380 Of where you're going
00:05:54.780 In life
00:05:55.260 Success
00:05:58.320 Is an equation
00:06:00.000 Success
00:06:00.900 Is A
00:06:02.140 Plus B
00:06:03.100 Equals C
00:06:04.180 It is math
00:06:06.520 It is not magic
00:06:08.460 It is not
00:06:09.640 Mystical unicorns
00:06:11.660 Dropping their
00:06:12.320 Rainbow turds
00:06:13.600 On your head
00:06:14.160 That make you grow
00:06:15.160 Success
00:06:16.360 All around you
00:06:17.900 It is not luck
00:06:21.280 You have to come to terms
00:06:26.100 With that
00:06:26.640 From day one
00:06:28.040 You have to come to terms
00:06:31.040 That your actions
00:06:32.560 Produce a result
00:06:34.020 And that your actions
00:06:35.700 Will always
00:06:37.120 Produce the result
00:06:38.660 That they deserve
00:06:39.980 To produce
00:06:41.140 If you're a shitty
00:06:43.840 Sales person
00:06:44.720 Guess what
00:06:45.400 You're not going to sell shit
00:06:46.580 If you're somebody
00:06:48.260 That focuses on yourself
00:06:49.440 Guess what
00:06:50.220 You're not going to get
00:06:51.260 Much in return
00:06:52.040 If you're somebody
00:06:53.600 Who's not
00:06:54.580 A good communicator
00:06:56.360 Guess what
00:06:56.940 Nobody's going to
00:06:57.580 Fucking listen
00:06:58.320 You have
00:07:02.360 To understand
00:07:03.880 That your actions
00:07:05.340 Will produce
00:07:06.560 An equal result
00:07:08.340 Of your skill set
00:07:10.080 Of the quality
00:07:10.900 Of those actions
00:07:11.620 That means
00:07:12.680 That accepting
00:07:15.040 That faith
00:07:16.100 In the result
00:07:17.280 Of the work
00:07:18.200 Isn't enough
00:07:19.320 What it means
00:07:21.100 What it means is
00:07:21.480 Is that you're
00:07:22.100 Going to go down
00:07:22.880 A path
00:07:23.440 You're going to
00:07:24.840 Have weak skills
00:07:26.640 In the beginning
00:07:27.780 You're going to
00:07:29.160 Realize
00:07:29.860 That you're not
00:07:31.700 Producing the results
00:07:32.700 That you want
00:07:33.400 And guess what
00:07:34.160 Guys
00:07:34.540 That's completely
00:07:35.720 Normal
00:07:36.340 We all go
00:07:37.580 Through that
00:07:38.220 All of us
00:07:39.300 Suck
00:07:39.980 In the beginning
00:07:40.960 All of us
00:07:42.960 But what
00:07:46.240 You have
00:07:46.980 To realize
00:07:47.640 If you want
00:07:48.380 To be
00:07:48.720 A true
00:07:49.480 Champion
00:07:50.420 In whatever
00:07:52.080 It is
00:07:52.800 You decide
00:07:53.320 To do
00:07:53.740 Is this
00:07:54.840 You're going
00:07:56.400 To suck
00:07:56.780 In the beginning
00:07:57.340 And guess
00:07:58.100 What's going
00:07:58.540 To happen
00:07:58.960 You're going
00:07:59.620 To make
00:07:59.940 Adjustments
00:08:00.600 You're going
00:08:01.180 To have
00:08:01.620 Little failures
00:08:02.560 You're going
00:08:03.220 To have
00:08:03.540 Big failures
00:08:04.400 You're going
00:08:05.500 To have
00:08:05.800 People tell
00:08:06.380 You can't
00:08:07.080 You're going
00:08:07.560 To have
00:08:07.860 People shit
00:08:08.480 On you
00:08:08.820 You're going
00:08:09.340 To have
00:08:09.600 People hate
00:08:10.200 On you
00:08:10.520 You're going
00:08:11.060 To have
00:08:11.360 People do
00:08:13.000 Everything negative
00:08:14.040 That could possibly
00:08:15.300 Be done to you
00:08:16.240 But guess
00:08:16.900 What
00:08:17.420 You are going
00:08:18.680 To learn
00:08:19.300 From every
00:08:20.080 Single one
00:08:20.900 Of those
00:08:21.280 Instances
00:08:21.840 And they are
00:08:22.900 Going to make
00:08:23.620 You better
00:08:24.180 Which means
00:08:24.660 The actions
00:08:25.240 You take
00:08:25.720 After those
00:08:26.920 Points
00:08:27.360 Are going
00:08:29.420 To produce
00:08:29.960 Better results
00:08:30.860 This is a
00:08:33.120 Process
00:08:33.580 This is a
00:08:34.520 Journey
00:08:34.860 Nobody starts
00:08:36.040 Out in
00:08:36.500 Year one
00:08:37.220 Or fucking
00:08:38.180 Month one

00:09:06.580 Years
00:09:07.020 Or 10
00:09:07.680 Years
00:09:08.180 Isn't
00:09:09.000 Sexy
00:09:09.680 It's not
00:09:10.580 Something that
00:09:11.280 People want
00:09:12.060 To pay
00:09:12.360 Attention to
00:09:13.240 But I'm

00:09:19.480 Earth

00:09:20.800 That way
00:09:21.740 So you can
00:09:23.400 Either choose
00:09:23.920 To commit
00:09:24.560 To that
00:09:25.240 Process
00:09:25.760 Or you
00:09:27.560 Could choose
00:09:28.180 To point
00:09:28.980 Your finger
00:09:29.520 And say
00:09:30.620 That guy's
00:09:32.040 Lucky
