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
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
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
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
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
