Summary
In this episode of the MF CEO Project, I talk about the mindset that it takes to be successful at anything you decide to do, and how to deal with people who only care about money and the simple things in life. You don t have to be poor to be a great person, but people will always try to make you feel bad for being on the path that you're on, and the more success you have, the more people will throw this shit in your face, and you will be taught to let it go.

what is up guys you're listening to the MF CEO project I'm Andy I am your host and guess what
00:00:15.380
I'm the motherfucking CEO if you're new to this podcast this is your first time listening
00:00:21.660
welcome this podcast is a success entrepreneurship personal development podcast we are going to talk
00:00:31.640
about money we are going to talk about building businesses we are going to talk about the mindset
00:00:36.440
that it takes to be successful at anything you decide to do this is a success resource so to
00:00:46.680
speak and you know what if you don't like talking about money if you don't like talking about success
00:00:53.280
if you don't like talking about scorching the fucking earth this probably isn't for you
00:00:59.700
here's the deal guys every time I post something online and if you follow me on Instagram I posted
00:01:07.000
a little story about this yesterday and this is not the main point of the podcast but I do want to
00:01:11.980
address it because you guys deal with this same thing you all have ambitions you all have goals
00:01:19.340
you all want to make a lot of fucking money you all want to look great you all want to live an amazing
00:01:24.900
life and make an impact and do awesome shit and when you try to do those things you're going to have
00:01:31.720
people especially people that you know say things to you like this oh you know what you're you're very
00:01:39.920
materialistic oh you know what you're very selfish you know what you're not the same person you used
00:01:46.280
to be you know what you have your priorities out of line you know what you're somebody that I used to feel
00:01:56.200
like I know okay and these people are going to say shit to you they're going to say shit to you about your
00:02:03.940
mission about your goals about your ambition about your path because they're insecure with the choices
00:02:11.300
that they've made they're going to tell you things like this well you know what I I and they're going
00:02:19.160
to have their little pinky up like a little fucking douchebag I happen to enjoy the finer things in life
00:02:25.660
and those finer things aren't things that cost money they're the simple things I enjoy being a good
00:02:32.300
person I enjoy all the little things well you know what motherfuckers you don't have to be poor
00:02:38.780
to enjoy the simple things you don't have to be poor to enjoy the things that matter in life you don't
00:02:46.220
have to be poor to be a great person but people will throw this shit in your face and they'll try to make
00:02:53.840
you feel bad for being on the path that you're on it will never stop the more success you have
00:03:02.120
there will be more people that say this to you and the reason I'm bringing this to you is because you
00:03:06.980
need to learn how to brush it off you need to learn how to let it go and you need to learn how to like
00:03:14.640
your teachers told you in school be a bigger person and understand that those people have their
00:03:21.040
priorities in their life and if they were truly happy with their life if they were truly in the position
00:03:27.180
they wanted to be they wouldn't judge you for being on your path because they would be content
00:03:31.760
so understand that when people say these things to you like they do to me understand that it's their
00:03:39.860
insecurities their regrets their dissatisfaction speaking to you there's nothing wrong with what
00:03:47.400
you're doing in fact you could look at when people criticize you that way as a compliment because you
00:03:53.620
have to understand that your path is something that they wish they were doing or would have done or
00:04:00.180
could do and which they can that's the ironic part about it but they wish all those things for
00:04:06.780
themselves and when they see you doing it it triggers an uncomfortable nature within them it makes them
00:04:15.280
feel bad about the choices they've made and what do they do they lash out at you so understand that when
00:04:20.260
they do this guys it is a 100 positive indication that you are on the right path now are there assholes
00:04:30.700
out there that only care about money sure are there assholes out there who are just 100 materialistic
00:04:35.640
sure but you know what i know that's not you because this podcast represents way more than that
00:04:42.160
it represents earning money the right way by making an impact solving a problem providing tremendous value
00:04:48.820
and impacting people and if you were the kind of person who was super materialistic or you know
00:04:54.680
money is only that i care about you wouldn't listen to me you go listen to one of these other
00:04:57.980
motherfuckers that sell you 99 999 fucking success program you buy that shit okay so i know that's not
00:05:05.360
you so when people say that to you understand and i bring this up at this time of year for a reason
00:05:12.220
because this is new year's time and this is the time that you all are being public and open and
00:05:18.400
aggressive about your goals and that's great i am very fucking proud of you for being that way you
00:05:24.900
should be that way but this is also the time you're going to have the most resistance this is also the
00:05:29.840
time when your aunt from you know your great aunt is going to say you know hey joey all you care about
00:05:36.560
is money you need to care about the simple things and then you're going to go home and you're going to
00:05:40.260
fucking question yourself and i know because i've done the same thing and then you know you're going
00:05:45.660
to decide you know what i'm not going to put myself out there as much you know what i'm not going to
00:05:49.960
work maybe maybe she's right maybe maybe i am just setting the bar too high for myself and i'm being
00:05:55.020
greedy maybe she's got a point and you and the more and more people that do this we question
00:05:59.740
ourselves more and more and then we start to think that our priorities are out of whack and then we
00:06:05.400
start to think that you know maybe what we're doing isn't the right thing and what happens
00:06:09.480
we don't fucking do it and then we do that year after year after year after year after year
00:06:13.680
because other people keep putting us in a position to question ourselves and you should question
00:06:20.800
yourself but it should be you questioning yourself not because of what other people say
00:06:24.200
and they put us in this position to where it causes an inactivity and it causes us to stop and
00:06:29.280
it causes us to fall off the wagon and that's not right you know surrounding yourself with the right
00:06:36.780
people surrounding yourself with the right friends surrounding yourself with people who are
00:06:41.680
aligned with your mission and your goals is 1000% the right thing to do okay and if you're somebody
00:06:49.540
who enjoys making $25,000 a year and smoking fucking weed every day and drinking a fucking brewski
00:06:56.700
and chilling eating mcdonald's if that's you then you should surround yourself with other people that like
00:07:02.520
that shit too because here's what's gonna happen you're gonna surround yourself with somebody like
00:07:07.260
me or somebody like that has goals or something and they're gonna constantly make you feel like
00:07:11.220
shit for the way you live so no matter what and I doubt any of you are the person I just described but
00:07:16.980
if you are good if you're happy with that good if that's how you want to live and you're living that
00:07:22.320
way good you're fucking doing great but if you are somebody that has goals if you are somebody that has
00:07:31.020
ambitions if you are somebody who wants to do big things you have to surround yourself with people
00:07:36.840
that are like-minded because if you surround yourself with your old friends and the old people and the
00:07:42.140
people you grew up with and the people who still think the way you don't want to be they're gonna
00:07:46.560
constantly attack you and they're gonna constantly make you question yourself and I can tell you for a
00:07:51.100
fact nobody is strong enough to resist that the negativity that comes from friends and family you have to
00:07:59.340
eliminate it you have to surround yourself with like-minded people it's a huge deal okay now here we are
00:08:09.000
four days in and some of you guys who make big goals I want to lose 50 pounds I want to you know double my
00:08:19.480
income I want to get that promotion I want to do all these big things we're four days in and you've already
00:08:26.940
dropped the fucking ball you've already cheated on your diet multiple times you've already missed
00:08:32.440
workouts multiple times you've already failed on following up making those calls sending those
00:08:38.940
emails and you're telling yourself the same old story you know what this week is this week is the
00:08:47.080
new year's week okay like January 1st was you know on Monday so this whole week is like new year's
00:08:53.220
nobody's really doing it so I'm just gonna pick it up on Monday and that'll be my real day that I
00:08:57.020
start and you know what I fucking mean it this time I see people saying that I fucking mean it this
00:09:03.820
time I fucking mean it this time I seen pictures of people's fucking food and people's diet and
00:09:10.620
people's workouts I fucking mean it this time and you know what the kiss of death is when I the kiss of
00:09:17.520
death of anybody's progress is to me when they say this I mean it this time you know why I know that
00:09:24.120
because I fucking did it too I did it for a long time a long time I was the guy who would tell my wife
00:09:32.520
hey let's go eat and have some beers I'll start tomorrow I you know what and we I gotta get serious
00:09:38.320
I gotta I mean it this time I gotta be serious I was that guy I was the guy that did that that's how
00:09:44.140
I got to be 350 fucking pounds that's how I got to be unhappy that's how I got to be depressed
00:09:49.740
that's how I got to be someone who was extremely frustrated with every aspect of my life because I
00:09:57.060
constantly kicked the can down the road I constantly talked about I was gonna do it tomorrow I constantly
00:10:03.640
talked about this was gonna be the time and I'm serious look at me I mean it this time you have to do
00:10:10.020
that you have to help me with this I'm serious I would fucking do that non-stop if I fucked up my
00:10:15.160
diet on a Tuesday I'd wait until the next fucking Monday to start back up I'd say oh you know what
00:10:20.200
my whole week is totally fucked now so I might as well just start back on Monday and then what I would
00:10:25.480
do is I would fucking pile in the food all right I would pile in the food because I knew I had to start
00:10:32.580
next Monday because in my mind I was serious about it and what did I do I put on another pound and I
00:10:39.920
did that week after week after week after week and you put on another pound another pound another pound
00:10:43.580
pretty soon you're a hundred fucking pounds up in two years down the road and I know some of you guys
00:10:49.980
that are listening with this are nodding your heads right now you're like that's me that I'm the
00:10:54.480
person that does that I'm the person that always waits till tomorrow always kicks the can down the
00:11:00.140
road always tells myself I mean it this time guys there is always going to be a reason for not
00:11:09.260
doing the things that you need to do there's always going to be an inconvenience there's always going
00:11:14.840
to be something that comes up or something that makes the situation not perfect and I'm not just
00:11:20.020
talking about dieting or fitness I'm talking about in your family life and your family commitments I'm
00:11:25.460
talking about your business life and your business commitments anything that you try to do is never
00:11:31.460
going to be this perfect path and you've heard me talk about this over and over and over again when
00:11:37.640
it comes to entrepreneurship that people who try to devise the perfect plan before they start and
00:11:45.620
because of that they get started and the minute the thing pops up whatever it is we had a bad day of
00:11:52.520
sales fucking store caught on fire whatever whatever the website went down whatever happens
00:11:57.000
they quit because their perfect plan that they expected to go perfect didn't fucking work
00:12:03.020
and guys if you're going to be the person who tosses out your goal every time you fuck up
00:12:09.800
and waits another week to start it you're never going to get anywhere you're never going to lose that
00:12:14.860
weight you're never going to build that business you're never going to double that income
00:12:20.280
you're never going to build that better relationship with your family
00:12:24.400
you're never going to do the things that you truly want to do and guys a lot of times we do this
00:12:33.980
because people talk us out of it we have people in our lives who will say things like oh you know
00:12:39.300
hey man it's just a glass of wine it's no big deal hey look you got to live right you got to live
00:12:46.220
you got to have that piece of pizza you got to live hey you know it's no big deal you can get
00:12:51.820
started tomorrow when you surround yourself with people who do that shit to you you can never
00:12:59.580
ever make it and dude I know it's hard I know there's people you love that do exactly what I'm
00:13:05.720
just telling you I know there's people but I can tell you you are not strong enough to go and make
00:13:12.460
your goals happen anyway with people in your ear like that it is a fucking impossible because guess
00:13:19.100
what building a business is fucking hard losing weight is fucking hard building great relationships
00:13:26.400
guess what that's fucking hard too and having people who are constantly in our ears pulling us away
00:13:33.340
from the path that we want to be on is ultimately self-destructive because we are choosing to stay in that
00:13:40.880
situation you have to understand guys with every great thing in life there is going to be sacrifice
00:13:49.760
with every great thing in life there is going to be work and with every great thing in life there is
00:13:55.360
going to be time you have to understand you're going to have to make difficult decisions you're going
00:14:02.640
to have to put in the work and you're going to have to be patient but if you could combine those
00:14:07.500
three things, that's what makes the fucking success cake. That's what makes great things
00:14:14.180
happen. That's what builds epic lives and builds ultimate realizations of potential.
00:14:21.160
But you're never going to be able to do it if you keep kicking the shit down the road,
00:14:25.760
or if you keep making decisions based on other people's opinion, or if you keep letting people
00:14:30.580
discourage you or make you feel bad for having the goals that you fucking have.
00:14:38.480
Make this year the year that you commit to yourself that you're going to make progress.
00:14:44.460
You might not become a millionaire this year. You might not even make $100,000 this year. But you
00:14:50.280
know what? You can make tremendous progress towards those goals. You can make tremendous growth happen
00:14:57.800
for you, and you could set the table for that to happen down the road. Being successful is no
00:15:04.960
fucking magic. We talk about that all the time. All it takes is some discipline and some hard-nosed
00:15:11.880
dedication, some hard-nosed commitment. You got to be able to put your fucking earplugs on,
00:15:18.160
or you got to be able to cut people out from your life. You've got to be able to stay committed and
00:15:24.900
remember what your goals are. And we talk about this in the Powerless podcast, the one I just did
00:15:30.200
the other day for you guys. We talk about how important it is to break things down and break
00:15:34.580
it into critical tasks. And so I guess what I want to do here is I want to challenge you guys.
00:15:39.580
I want to challenge you guys to follow through on your power list and literally win every fucking
00:15:46.760
day this year. Literally win every day. If you can commit to winning every fucking day this year,
00:15:53.520
and you know what? I've never even won a whole fucking year in a row. But I promise you, if you
00:15:58.880
commit to following through to win every fucking day this year, your life will be drastically different
00:16:07.520
this time next year. And I want you to remember that I said this, and I want you to email me and
00:16:12.880
let me know the fucking difference. It's up to you guys. No motivation that anybody provides.
00:16:21.480
No fucking program anybody provides. No fucking success seminar that you're going to go to is
00:16:30.480
going to get it done for you guys. You're going to have to put in the time. You're going to have
00:16:35.200
to put in the work and you're going to have to understand that other people can't fucking dictate
00:16:40.000
your decisions. This is a brand new fucking year. And usually I'm pretty, I'm pretty anti New
00:16:49.760
Year's resolutions, but I like the fact that everybody goes out and sets goals. I love the
00:16:55.120
fact that everybody thinks big. I love the fact that everybody sets these things that they want
00:16:59.620
to get done. But you know what I don't like? I don't like that they only do it once a year.
00:17:05.580
Be the guy who thinks about your goals every day. Be the guy who executes on your goals every day.
00:17:11.720
Don't be like every motherfucker that you know, who's going to tell you a bunch of bullshit this year
00:17:16.240
and be the same motherfucker 12 months from now that they are today. That's not what you want.
00:17:23.320
That's not what you really want. Well, maybe it is because I always tell you guys
00:17:30.440
loving success and the idea of success is two different fucking things. And you've got to decide
00:17:36.820
which one you like. It's real easy to look at someone who is, for lack of better terms,
00:17:44.040
has their shit together, who's in good shape, who's making a lot of money, who has a great family
00:17:48.740
relationship, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, who has all the things that you want. It's easy to look
00:17:54.420
at them and say, you know what? I really want that. Yeah. Everybody fucking wants it. That's,
00:18:01.500
that should be fucking obvious to you. Everybody wants it. Those people like the idea of success.
00:18:07.940
Then there's the people who like success. Those people look at the same people, the same people
00:18:14.860
I just described who have their shit together. They got great career and make a lot of fucking
00:18:18.940
money, great family. They're in good shape. And they look and they say, damn dude, I fucking want
00:18:23.880
that. I want that. And you know what they do? They don't just stare at it like it's some kind of
00:18:31.240
fucking anomaly. They say, yeah, dude, I can fucking do that. I can fucking clean up my diet.
00:18:38.700
I could get in the gym. I can start working on my business. I can up my game so I can pick up the
00:18:43.660
kind of partner I want to pick up. I can do all those things. You know what? That guy's no fucking
00:18:47.720
different than me. And you know what they do? They make a fucking plan and then they go do it. And
00:18:52.000
you know what happens when they go on the plan? Because the first group I described, we talk about the
00:18:57.480
work and the plan. They don't like the fucking work and the plan. They want it to be easy. They
00:19:01.680
want to be able to snap their fucking fingers and be in that guy's shoes. Not understanding that guy
00:19:06.680
probably worked his whole life to be there. But the second group, they understand the work it's
00:19:13.000
going to take. And you know what? They might not like the work that they have to do. They might not
00:19:18.540
like the path they have to get on. They might not think about, you know, how awesome it's going to be
00:19:27.260
to fucking jump in the fucking mud and do all the fucking heavy lifting that this motherfucker had
00:19:31.900
to do. But you know what they do? They fucking do it. Because they know the end result is going to
00:19:37.120
be worth it. They understand that the work they put in is going to build the result they want.
00:19:42.540
And they don't care what the fuck they have to go through. They don't care how hard it's going to
00:19:46.220
be or how long it takes. They commit to doing it. So if you fit into the first group, if you're the
00:19:53.660
person who likes to look at what everybody else has and want that, but not want to do what it takes
00:20:00.260
to get that, you know, stop saying you want it and be happy with where you are because you don't
00:20:06.580
really want it. Because if you really fucking wanted it, you would want to do the work that it took
00:20:10.640
to get there. And you would actually fall in love with the work that it takes to produce that result
00:20:16.420
because you would fall in love because you know what result it's producing. If you know something
00:20:23.440
that you're doing is going to like, if you know something that you did was going to produce a
00:20:27.200
million dollars fucking in a week from now, and it was shoveling fucking cow shit, get it all over
00:20:34.140
your face and everything. I bet you, I bet you fucking fall in love with it because you know that
00:20:38.660
that million dollars has come at the end of the fucking week. You see successful people,
00:20:43.160
they love the battle. They love getting dirty. They love doing the work because they know what
00:20:47.480
the result's going to be. And that's the difference. That's the difference between
00:20:52.600
the 99.9% and the rest of everybody else. The 0.01%. 0.1%. I don't know. I'm fucking bad at math
00:21:02.940
unless it's money, but either way, you know what the fuck I meant. Then here, let's say it like this,
00:21:08.160
the 99% and the 1%. That sounded fucking epic, right? All right. So guys, do me a favor.
00:21:15.380
Take my fucking challenge. Update me on Instagram. Tag me in your photo. Show me how many days you
00:21:21.940
fucking won in a row. I want to see you guys win. I want to see you guys succeed, but go back and
00:21:29.640
listen to this podcast. Go back and listen to what we talk about when we talk about what it's going to
00:21:37.600
take and it's the difficult decisions, because that's not for everybody. It's not everybody's,
00:21:41.700
it's not everybody's thing to go out and fucking like have to cut some people out that they love
00:21:46.900
and care about because they're driven and they want to succeed. That might not be for you. And if
00:21:50.740
it's not for you, that's okay. Because if you're happy where you are, be happy with where you are
00:21:55.620
and stop saying you want this other shit because you think it's what you want. That's what makes you
00:22:01.940
upset. That's what makes you miserable because you set your goals, which aren't really your goals
00:22:06.140
because you're not doing the fucking work. And then it drives you crazy and makes you feel bad
00:22:09.200
about yourself. Don't feel bad about where you are. If you're happy where you are, just be where
00:22:13.160
you are. But for the rest of you guys, you have to understand that it's going to take some tough
00:22:20.980
decisions. It's going to take some hard conversations. It's going to take a lot of
00:22:25.320
fucking work. It's going to take a lot of fucking time. And it's going to take a lot of work and a lot
00:22:28.900
of time when you don't feel like doing the fucking work or putting in the time.
00:22:32.200
But guys, I'm going to tell you right now, I wouldn't have it any other way. And I bet if
00:22:39.480
you ask any other very successful person on earth, they wouldn't have it any other way either.
00:22:45.340
It's either for you or it's not. And it's okay either way. But I'm for you guys and I'm a resource
00:22:51.040
for you guys. And I'm going to talk about money. I'm going to talk about success. I'm going to talk
00:22:54.440
about kicking ass for all you motherfuckers that want to win and want to win big. If you don't want
00:22:59.260
to win big and you don't want to win, you can listen along. But realize that when you
00:23:03.560
come at me with your poor mouth shit about all you care about this is that and this and
00:23:07.820
this and this, I'm probably going to fucking embarrass you on the internet. I'm trying to
00:23:14.660
win. I'm trying to help you win. So let's go out and fucking win together.
