REAL AF with Andy Frisella - Opportunity Through Motion, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO128

In this episode of the MFCEO Project, I talk about how to become a better entrepreneur by putting yourself in motion so that you can take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to you. You can t sit around and wait for the opportunity to come to you, you have to get out in the real world and do something.

00:00:00.000 What is up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am

00:00:11.200 the motherfucking CEO. Guys, if this is your first time listening, welcome. This is a self-development

00:00:18.660 entrepreneurship kick-fucking-ass podcast, and today is Thursday Thunder, which means

00:00:24.860 I'm going to punch you right in the fucking mouth, which is probably what you need. And 0.98

00:00:29.160 all I ask in return for that punch is that if you enjoy the podcast, if you like the

00:00:34.120 podcast, if you learned something, if you were entertained, if you laughed, if you cried,

00:00:39.740 if you shit yourself, share with a friend, all right? Today I want to talk about something

00:00:45.500 that has to do with entrepreneurs talking about opportunity, okay? All the time, all the questions

00:00:54.540 have something to do with opportunity. How do I get this connection? How do I get this

00:01:01.360 opportunity? How do I meet this person? How do I do this? How do I do that? And let me

00:01:06.660 explain to you how this works. Too many of you guys listening right now think because it's

00:01:12.940 popular for a lot of these gurus to talk about the fucking cell phone in your hand that you 0.92

00:01:18.020 could just click like and communicate and do this and that and this and that with all these

00:01:21.840 people and develop these opportunities, which you can do. But in the beginning of the process

00:01:27.520 to become relevant, to become something, you've got to put yourself in motion. And I call this

00:01:33.420 opportunity through motion. All right? You can't sit in your mom's fucking basement and type fucking

00:01:39.960 statuses out all day and become relevant. You have to get out in the real world and do something.

00:01:45.820 You have to get on a fucking airplane or get in a car and go meet people and shake hands and

00:01:51.580 contribute and have conversations. You have to create things. You have to build things. You have

00:01:57.380 to sell things. You have to do shit for opportunity to come to you. And that means doing shit before

00:02:06.040 you see the opportunity. Because far too many of you guys listening wait around for this fucking

00:02:12.340 opportunity to fall in your fucking lap. And you want to think that, Oh, well, when this opportunity

00:02:17.720 opens up for me, I'll fucking start. No, you start way before the opportunity ever presents itself.

00:02:24.660 And, and the way opportunities present themselves is by you going through the fucking motions of 0.74

00:02:31.840 creating shit in your life. Okay. You're not going to wait around. You're not going to sit on your

00:02:38.200 ass. You're not going to, you know, the fucking opportunity store isn't going to come and drop

00:02:42.820 this fucking golden egg into your lap. It's going to happen from you shaking hands, making phone

00:02:49.520 calls, sending emails, creating, doing, selling, contributing value. That's it. And you have to

00:02:58.080 take the initiative. You have to do the work. You have to do the shit that is going to ultimately

00:03:04.260 shape your journey to a point where other people take notice. And when other people start taking

00:03:10.940 notice and you meet certain people that have the ability to create opportunities and you build trust

00:03:17.180 and you build value and you build a relationship with these people, guess what happens? Then

00:03:22.960 opportunities start happening. Then things start going your way. Then you've got momentum.

00:03:27.940 It's opportunity through motion. You have to understand how it works. It's not something

00:03:35.020 that, you know, you see on TV and you see these fucking glory stories and you see this shit that 0.75

00:03:41.220 like, Oh, you know, these magazine articles of people that have these billion dollar companies.

00:03:46.420 And, you know, they met this guy on vacation and they started working together and they had this

00:03:53.080 tremendous opportunity to fall in their lap. That opportunity only fell in their fucking lap

00:03:57.120 after years and years and years and years of edifying work, which means they created credibility

00:04:03.920 for themselves so that the people with the opportunities would connect with them.

00:04:09.860 And that's when the so-called opportunity or being in the right place at the right time

00:04:15.580 happened. That shit doesn't just happen to average motherfuckers like most of the people listening

00:04:21.020 here. Okay. It happens for people who fucking go out, take initiative, do things,

00:04:27.120 create things, build things that other people take note. So don't sit around and wait for

00:04:32.520 opportunity. Don't sit around and wait for things to happen. And I know this sounds like common sense,

00:04:37.920 but it's not too fucking common because I get a lot of questions from people. They're saying,

00:04:42.160 how do I link up with so-and-so? How do I link up with so-and-so? Look, motherfucker,

00:04:45.280 I can link you up with all these people, but they're not going to pay attention to you because

00:04:47.700 you haven't done anything. You got to do shit before opportunity comes to you. It's opportunity

00:04:54.040 through motion. Don't fucking forget it.
