What is up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host and I am
00:00:11.620
the motherfucking CEO. Guys, today is Thursday Thunder, but before I get into that, I want
00:00:17.960
to remind you that we have a review contest going on. The prize is a 20 to 30 minute Skype
00:00:23.100
with me where I'm going to give you the answers to your questions, give you advice, give you
00:00:27.220
guidance, one-on-one with me. All you have to do is go to iTunes and write a review about
00:00:34.160
the podcast. Guys, if you would also subscribe to the podcast, that would be a huge help.
00:00:39.240
This is how we get ranked. This is how we grow the podcast. We don't ask for money. We don't
00:00:45.180
ask you to buy anything from us. It's just simply, we're trying to drive the podcast ranking
00:00:53.600
up so that more people can find out about the movement that we've created here, which
00:00:57.320
is obviously the no fluff, no BS, no magic unicorns, overnight success bullshit that everybody
00:01:04.600
preaches these days. It's the reality. It's the tools that you need to be successful.
00:01:09.080
It's helped cultivating the mindset that you need to be successful. And it's about reversing
00:01:14.600
the last 30 years of everybody wins mentality. Okay. And I think that's a good thing. And if
00:01:20.920
you're listening to this podcast, I know you think it's a good thing. And the way that
00:01:24.340
we help people know about the podcast by be ranking, uh, us up high amongst the other
00:01:31.040
podcasts. Now, most of the other podcasts have guests. We do not have guests in the way
00:01:37.320
they grow their podcast by leveraging their audience against other people's audiences by
00:01:41.520
having guests on. We don't do that very much. Uh, because honestly, I don't feel like we need
00:01:46.480
to do that. I feel like we offer the right, the right information. I feel like we offer the
00:01:50.080
right mindset. And the second point is there's not many people out there that have this mindset.
00:01:55.060
You know, a lot of people are out there trying to sell you something. They're trying to get you,
00:01:58.200
uh, to believe in something that's, that's not actually there. The overnight success,
00:02:02.580
uh, the fast success, the instant gratification, which are all poisonous to the mindset of real
00:02:08.060
success. So guys, with that being said, if you go leave a review, I would appreciate it.
00:02:12.500
Um, we're going to have the contest winners here in a couple of weeks. Uh, and you know,
00:02:17.180
that's on iTunes. So go do that now guys, Thursday thunder. I want to get into this real quick.
00:02:21.480
And, and, um, it's something that I see affecting a lot of mentalities. All right. The entrepreneurial
00:02:29.460
mindset is more than if you just own a business, you know, if you are an employee in a business
00:02:36.460
and you're wanting to create a value in yourself and you're wanting to move up in the ranks and
00:02:41.580
you're wanting to build on your career and you're wanting to get paid more and grow more and,
00:02:45.600
and, you know, do all the things that everybody wants to do, uh, AKA make more fucking money.
00:02:52.820
All right. You've got to have the entrepreneurial mindset. You've got to look at yourself as a
00:02:56.960
business. And one thing that I want to address right now is this, nobody is out to get you.
00:03:06.640
I see this so often. I get so many questions and so many comments about this from young people,
00:03:14.200
especially where they feel like people are out to get you. Okay. There is no success boogeyman
00:03:22.860
that comes around and comes to your house and tugs on your jacket and keeps you from going out the
00:03:29.480
front door and going out and getting shit done. It doesn't exist. Okay. Will people say things that
00:03:37.300
are going to discourage you? Yes. Will people that you know, not understand your journey? Yes.
00:03:42.920
Will people who have been your friends your whole entire life question your motives for doing things
00:03:48.500
and bettering yourself? Yes. But none of those things will keep you from going out and getting
00:03:56.760
shit done. None of those things will keep you from going out and learning the skills you need to learn
00:04:04.620
to become successful. None of those things will keep you from going out, taking accountability for your
00:04:12.680
actions, becoming a person of value in your organization and contributing to your organization
00:04:18.680
so that you can earn more fucking money. There is no boogeyman of success. Nobody out there is out to get
00:04:30.620
you. This is a common theme amongst people who consider themselves ambitious and consider themselves
00:04:37.360
entrepreneurs in the mindset, but haven't been able to progress and make more money. Okay.
00:04:46.560
If you have a boss, if you live in a company that are working a company that, uh, you know, you don't feel
00:04:52.940
is paying you fairly or taking, uh, uh, your position seriously or creating a situation where you can move
00:05:00.500
up. Whose fucking fault is that? If you stay there. Okay. Now, most of you probably work in a company
00:05:08.860
where there is plenty of opportunity and there is plenty of, of growth potential and there is plenty
00:05:15.020
of upward mobility, but the reality of the situation is you are not doing what you need to do to create
00:05:23.400
value in yourself to move forward. Instead, you say things like, Oh, well, Bob, the, my manager,
00:05:29.780
he doesn't want me to move up or Sally, our HR director. She hasn't, she has a problem with my
00:05:34.940
attitude or bill, the CEO. You know, he doesn't like me because of this, this, and this bullshit.
00:05:42.560
The reason you aren't moving up is because you aren't contributing enough to the fucking company
00:05:47.840
to where they have to pay you more or else you will fucking leave. Cause those are your two options.
00:05:54.600
Either grow the skill set. Actually have three options. Grow the fucking skill set that you need.
00:06:03.360
Don't grow the skill set that you need and stay exactly where you are or grow the skill set that
00:06:08.920
you need. And if it's not recognized, move on somewhere else where it will be because value is
00:06:14.620
always recognized. Value is always valuable. Value will always command more income. And so many of
00:06:22.780
you motherfuckers look at society as if everybody is out to get you that you use that shit as an
00:06:30.440
excuse to not do what you need to fucking do. And it's disgusting. It's frustrating. And honestly,
00:06:37.720
it's pathetic. Everybody on the internet right now says they want to be successful. Everybody on the
00:06:44.940
internet now claims to be a fucking boss. Everybody on the internet now claims that in five years,
00:06:51.520
they're going to be a millionaire. Well, how about this? How about you fucking show me? Because I'm
00:06:57.400
going to tell you right now, most of you motherfuckers are saying, Oh, so-and-so's out to get me because
00:07:03.080
he doesn't want me to succeed. That's irrelevant. Do you have haters? Probably not. But maybe you do
00:07:12.240
because you got to be a pretty big fucking deal to have people that really hate you. But let's say
00:07:16.820
you do. What are haters? Haters are people who talk. They don't come to your house and bolt your
00:07:24.980
front door shut and take away your fucking phone and take away your ability to learn and create and
00:07:31.440
provide value. They talk. They can't keep you from doing what you need to do. The only person that
00:07:41.340
can keep you from doing what you need to fucking do is you. And so many of you guys use these excuses
00:07:50.140
like people are out to get you or your boss doesn't like you or people are taking advantage of you or
00:07:55.800
you've got haters so that you can sit back with your feet up and comfortably defer the blame for your
00:08:03.520
lack of success onto other circumstances or people. And guys, there is nothing more fucking weak than that.
