00:00:00.400 I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.880 Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.800 What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:19.540 Today, we have Friday Fire. We didn't have Tuesday or Thursday because honestly, I didn't have shit that I wanted to talk about.
00:00:27.000 But today, I do have something I want to talk about, and before I get into that, if this is your first time listening, this is the MFCEO Project.
00:00:38.200 It is a project. The reason it's a project is because we started this podcast to give people the tools, teach people the skills, and give them the mindset of what it takes to truly succeed.
00:00:54.240 We've been living in a society that is basically full of shit for the last 20 years.
00:01:01.740 Everybody's special. Everybody deserves everything.
00:01:05.400 Everybody gets a trophy for just showing up.
00:01:08.220 Everybody is a delicate little flower and has the right to feel good and be confident and have self-esteem for the reason of just being born.
00:01:17.120 And that's just not the fucking truth, okay?
00:01:20.440 And what we have is a situation where people are being raised for the first 20 years of their life to believe that bullshit and then being kicked out the door into the real world only for the real world to stomp on their fucking throats.
00:01:37.280 And I'm trying to correct that.
00:01:38.640 So, that's what this project is about.
00:01:42.340 So, technically, you could call us a personal development slash entrepreneurship slash mindset development podcast.
00:01:52.340 But the truth of the matter is, is we're trying to fix what a bunch of other motherfuckers fucked up, okay?
00:01:59.860 So, with that being said, I don't charge money.
00:02:06.340 I don't run a bunch of ads on my podcast.
00:02:09.120 We're a top 50 on iTunes podcast.
00:02:11.540 I could make seven figures a year plus running ads.
00:02:14.560 I don't run ads because I don't want to fill this content up with a bunch of bullshit for you guys.
00:02:19.760 I want to keep it real.
00:02:21.160 I want to keep it authentic.
00:02:22.680 I want to keep it for you.
00:02:24.300 And I want to keep the mission intact and not turn it into some bullshit.
00:02:28.180 And for that reason, I would appreciate if you would tell a friend, if you would recommend the podcast, if you get value out of this podcast, what I ask is that you bring me one friend per episode that you find valuable.
00:02:46.960 So, if you listen to this episode and you're like, holy shit, dude, that's good stuff.
00:02:50.080 It's going to help me out.
00:02:51.700 Tell somebody.
00:02:52.420 Don't just tag some motherfucker on my post and not say anything. 1.00
00:02:56.540 Nobody knows what the fuck that means.
00:02:58.600 I mean, go out of your way to tell somebody about the podcast.
00:03:02.580 We don't run ads.
00:03:03.920 We're one of the top 50 podcasts in the world on organic reach.
00:03:08.660 That means the people listening are telling other people.
00:03:11.860 And the reason people listening are telling other people is because the shit here is fucking good.
00:03:17.020 All right?
00:03:17.700 So, if you would tell some of your friends, I would appreciate that.
00:03:21.400 Now, getting into what I want to talk about.
00:03:24.900 I really have three main points that I want to talk about today.
00:03:27.540 The first is this.
00:03:28.860 It's really kind of a bone to pick with some of the bullshit that I keep seeing on social media and with all these other entrepreneurs telling you to go all in on your passion and quit your fucking job if you don't like it.
00:03:39.820 And this and that.
00:03:41.820 You know, we're hearing that more and more.
00:03:43.920 We're hearing people who are making literally millions and millions of dollars a year telling people just to fucking quit.
00:03:50.900 Just quit.
00:03:51.920 And do what you love.
00:03:53.300 And we're hearing that shit over and over and over again.
00:03:55.820 But I'm going to tell you that's a terrible fucking idea.
00:04:00.380 All right?
00:04:01.100 And for a number of reasons.
00:04:02.660 One, to get the opportunity to do what you love, you are going to have to do what you hate or what you don't like for a long fucking time.
00:04:12.900 That's reality.
00:04:13.860 Getting the opportunity to do what you love is a privilege of the dues that you pay doing shit that you don't like.
00:04:24.000 That's the real world.
00:04:25.660 It would be nice if we all had rich parents or we all had trust funds or we all had, you know, money in a bank to just quit the shit that we fucking don't want to do to do what we want to do.
00:04:38.080 Wouldn't it?
00:04:38.500 It would be great.
00:04:39.340 But here's the reality.
00:04:40.480 People who truly start from the beginning, people who truly start at zero, understand what I'm just saying.
00:04:48.200 You have to do a lot of shit that you hate.
00:04:51.260 All right?
00:04:51.740 When I started my business, I had to work three other fucking jobs to do what I wanted to do, which was run my company.
00:04:59.680 I had to work three other jobs just to fund the company.
00:05:06.360 I didn't work three other jobs to keep the money and go drink beer with it.
00:05:09.800 I worked three other jobs to take that money and put it into my project.
00:05:14.460 Okay?
00:05:14.960 I worked at a gym.
00:05:16.120 I worked at a bar.
00:05:17.300 And I worked at putting on concert events.
00:05:20.880 I also did odd jobs like construction, concrete, and other things that I knew how to do along the way.
00:05:26.280 But I had three basic jobs.
00:05:29.180 Okay?
00:05:29.920 I didn't like any of those jobs.
00:05:31.560 I hated being at the bar until fucking 4 o'clock in the morning and having to get up at fucking 8 and go back to work.
00:05:39.080 I didn't like sitting at the gym fucking, you know, wasting my time.
00:05:44.800 Dude, I had to do things to bring in money so that I could afford to have the opportunity to do what I love to do.
00:05:52.040 All right?
00:05:52.380 And sometimes doing what you love to do isn't fun either, by the way.
00:05:57.800 Okay?
00:05:58.240 A lot of these motherfuckers make it sound like, oh, dude, you got to have the passion for this.
00:06:03.300 Dude, some days you just aren't going to have the fucking passion.
00:06:06.440 Some days you're going to come into what it is that you think you love and you're going to want to kill every motherfucker that you see.
00:06:13.980 That's reality.
00:06:15.560 That's the truth.
00:06:16.880 That doesn't mean that you still don't love it.
00:06:19.100 That doesn't mean that you still aren't going to do it.
00:06:21.480 That doesn't mean that it's not for you, which is what people who lose over and over and over do, right?
00:06:26.700 They have one bad day, one bad week, one bad month, and they say, oh, dude, this shit isn't for me.
00:06:31.620 No.
00:06:32.900 Nothing's for you because you're too big of a pussy to stick it out. 1.00
00:06:38.560 You're not going to love what you even think you love every day.
00:06:42.480 That's just the way life works.
00:06:44.380 So let's quit with this nonsense of quit your fucking job and go all in on your fucking this.
00:06:50.320 It's bullshit.
00:06:52.840 It's bullshit.
00:06:53.780 You're going to have to do a lot of what you hate for a long fucking time to get the opportunity to do what you love.
00:07:02.640 That's the truth.
00:07:03.720 That's the reality.
00:07:04.700 And that's coming from someone that started at fucking zero, not someone who got in the game halfway through.
00:07:10.040 Now, what you have to realize about, which this is going into my second point, what you have to realize about the beginning of entrepreneurship or the beginning of success or the entry level is that the competition is the hardest at the beginning.
00:07:29.620 You have to understand that success in anything, at the beginning, there's way more people doing it.
00:07:39.560 So what I want you to do is I want you to picture a pyramid, right?
00:07:42.500 And at the bottom of the pyramid, the base of the pyramid, you have 100 people doing what it is you want to do.
00:07:48.640 All right?
00:07:48.960 Now, two years later, 20 of those people are going to quit because of what I just said a minute ago.
00:07:55.060 They're going to decide, hey, this isn't what I love anymore, so this isn't for me.
00:07:59.380 So they're just going to fucking quit.
00:08:00.800 So now you're on the second level and you have 80 people.
00:08:04.720 All right?
00:08:05.240 Now, two more years down the road, you're going to have 30 more people quit for the same reason I said.
00:08:11.700 It's going to get hard.
00:08:13.040 Things aren't paying off the right way.
00:08:14.680 They're not making enough money.
00:08:15.880 They're having to work too much.
00:08:17.820 Their girlfriend, their wife, their husband, their boyfriend doesn't like what they do.
00:08:23.140 They spend too much time in the office.
00:08:25.160 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:27.500 Whatever the fucking reason is, they're going to quit.
00:08:30.560 All right?
00:08:30.880 So those 30 people quit.
00:08:32.260 Now you're on level three and there's only 50 people left.
00:08:35.820 Half of what started.
00:08:37.600 Half.
00:08:38.720 All right?
00:08:39.240 And you're three years into this shit.
00:08:41.680 Okay?
00:08:42.540 Now, two more years go by.
00:08:46.120 And out of that 50, 20 more people quit.
00:08:49.040 Now you're on level four and there's 30 people.
00:08:51.760 Okay?
00:08:52.340 And so on and so on and so on.
00:08:54.480 So the longer you stay in the game, the less people you're competing with.
00:09:00.360 Now, are there always the same 100 on the bottom every year?
00:09:04.440 Absolutely.
00:09:04.880 But what level you're at, the level three or the level four, or maybe you're at the level five where there's only 10 people in.
00:09:13.220 That level is a different level that you'll never have to compete with these bottom level people because they don't have the fucking skills that you've gained by putting in your time.
00:09:22.620 All right?
00:09:23.960 So not only does the competition get less and there's less people, you're actually improving your skills.
00:09:30.540 You're getting better.
00:09:31.760 You're getting more skilled.
00:09:34.000 And you're moving up the pyramid so that not only are there less people, but you're more skilled.
00:09:40.320 Which means that the perceived competition, it's much less.
00:09:45.160 All right?
00:09:46.220 Because there is actually less people and you're more skilled.
00:09:48.980 So there's less competition and it's easier.
00:09:52.180 So what a lot of you guys don't realize, and the reason I'm pointing this out, is that in the beginning of anything that you're trying to do, whether you're trying to be an athlete, whether you're trying to be an entrepreneur, whether you're trying to be an entrepreneur, whether you're trying to be a singer, a rapper, a fucking painter, a sculpture, it doesn't matter.
00:10:11.200 Whatever the fuck it is you're trying to do, the beginning is always going to be the hardest.
00:10:16.160 You don't know what you're doing and there's a million motherfuckers doing the same shit because it doesn't take much to do.
00:10:23.540 So you have to understand that when you first start, it's going to be the hardest struggle.
00:10:29.340 You're going to have to put in the most time.
00:10:31.560 You're going to have to put in the most effort.
00:10:33.460 You're going to have to deal with the most frustration and the most discomfort.
00:10:37.260 Okay?
00:10:37.880 But the people who stick it out are going to be the people who are left over when all the smoke fucking clears.
00:10:44.640 Success is more about endurance than it is about special skill set.
00:10:51.760 All right?
00:10:52.880 A lot of you guys look at people who are up the ladder from where you are and you think they have special skills.
00:10:58.260 It's not that they have special skills.
00:11:00.180 It's that they have skills that they developed by having internal grit and endurance and persistence and perseverance and the ability to eat fucking shit longer than anyone.
00:11:11.340 And along the way, guess what?
00:11:12.620 They learned some fucking skills.
00:11:13.860 But guess what?
00:11:14.760 If you do the same, you'll learn the same.
00:11:16.660 They're not more talented.
00:11:17.900 They're not better.
00:11:18.980 They're not fucking, you know, stronger or whatever than you.
00:11:22.320 They're not smarter.
00:11:23.580 They've just been doing it longer.
00:11:25.920 And what you have to understand is when you work your way up the pyramid, it's going to get fucking easier.
00:11:30.520 The beginning is always the hardest, right?
00:11:32.580 But you have to remember what I said.
00:11:36.040 The first point was you're going to have to do a lot of shit that you hate to get the opportunity to do what you love.
00:11:43.060 All right?
00:11:44.140 And here's the other reason that people quit.
00:11:46.680 This is totally beside the point of people getting to a certain point saying, oh, this isn't for me.
00:11:53.300 It's not paying off.
00:11:54.500 As you move up the pyramid, certain people are going to start winning.
00:11:58.840 Certain people are going to start making money.
00:12:01.060 Certain people are going to start fucking, you know, driving nicer cars, living in nicer houses. 0.89
00:12:06.240 And what's going to happen to those people?
00:12:08.980 One of two things.
00:12:10.220 Because winning affects people in two ways only.
00:12:14.760 One, it makes them fucking lazy.
00:12:17.260 It makes them complacent.
00:12:18.900 It makes them not want to get up in the morning and work hard.
00:12:22.300 It makes them not want to do the personal development that they did to get there.
00:12:25.800 It makes them not want to pay attention to the details.
00:12:28.720 It makes them let things that used to matter a lot start to matter a little.
00:12:33.660 And they get dull.
00:12:34.740 They lose their sharpness.
00:12:36.460 They lose their edge.
00:12:37.820 They lose their competitive spirit.
00:12:40.260 And what happens to those people?
00:12:41.760 They fall off too.
00:12:42.780 Not because they decided that this shit wasn't for them, but because they had a little success and winning shut them down.
00:12:51.680 And that happens so much.
00:12:53.060 We see it so much in society.
00:12:55.180 I guarantee you, if you think about it, you have looked around.
00:12:58.820 And even in the news, we hear about it all the time.
00:13:00.820 People who have had massive success and then all of a sudden they're broke.
00:13:06.040 People who win, you know, a certain amount in life.
00:13:09.780 You know, they built a successful business.
00:13:11.720 They've got to mid-level.
00:13:12.840 They're driving a BMW or a Mercedes.
00:13:14.780 They're living in a million-dollar home.
00:13:17.300 And, you know, they're the big dog in the fucking neighborhood for a while.
00:13:20.940 But what happens to them?
00:13:22.000 They disappear.
00:13:23.620 They just kind of go away.
00:13:24.780 And why did they go away?
00:13:25.620 Because they took their eye off the fucking ball.
00:13:27.680 Because them winning a little makes them lazy.
00:13:31.360 All right?
00:13:31.600 But then you have the second group.
00:13:33.180 You have the second group, which they don't do it for the money.
00:13:36.980 They don't do it for the fucking cars.
00:13:38.900 They don't do it for the house.
00:13:40.920 They're not doing it for the status.
00:13:43.020 They're doing it because they're like a fucking shark.
00:13:46.360 They get one little sniff of the blood.
00:13:48.440 They get one little taste of the blood.
00:13:50.380 And they're going all the fuck in for the win.
00:13:52.860 These motherfuckers aren't playing for the dollar bills. 1.00
00:13:56.480 They're not playing for the fancy cars.
00:13:58.460 They're not playing for the big titty bitches. 1.00
00:14:00.520 They're not playing for the glory.
00:14:02.340 They're playing for the fucking blood.
00:14:05.360 And people who play for the fucking blood.
00:14:07.960 Who play for the fucking win.
00:14:09.760 Who go all in on every single detail even more when they start to win.
00:14:16.040 These people are the people who fucking win.
00:14:19.000 These are the people who get to the top and nobody can ever dethrone them.
00:14:23.680 Because they still believe that they're not shit.
00:14:28.360 Lots of people will talk about how great they are.
00:14:31.200 Lots of people will talk about how they have all the answers.
00:14:35.060 Lots of people will talk about how they're the expert and you should fucking listen to them.
00:14:39.800 And this, this, and the other.
00:14:40.980 Like they're a fucking messiah.
00:14:42.660 Lots of motherfuckers will talk about that shit. 1.00
00:14:44.760 But true, savage, play for blood motherfuckers don't do that. 1.00
00:14:48.920 Because they know that in the big scheme of things, they're not shit.
00:14:53.700 They're going to get to the top and they're going to stay on the top.
00:14:56.500 Because they don't believe that they're the best.
00:15:00.840 They don't believe that they have all the answers.
00:15:03.640 They don't believe that they're the most skilled.
00:15:05.940 And that's where you need to try to find yourself.
00:15:09.200 Okay?
00:15:09.580 And I understand that's going to be hard for you to grasp.
00:15:12.720 When you can't pay your bills and you're at the bottom.
00:15:15.520 Right?
00:15:16.060 I was the same fucking way.
00:15:18.000 I used to think about Lamborghinis.
00:15:20.160 And I used to think about fucking big houses and fucking the lifestyle.
00:15:24.300 Right?
00:15:24.560 I tell you that.
00:15:25.320 I've told you that a million times.
00:15:27.620 But it's cool to want that shit.
00:15:30.000 That shit's cool as fuck.
00:15:31.060 I love it.
00:15:31.600 I'm not downplaying it at all.
00:15:33.580 Don't mistake what I'm saying.
00:15:34.800 I love it.
00:15:35.400 I love my life.
00:15:36.420 I love driving the cars.
00:15:37.900 I love flying the jets.
00:15:39.560 I love doing all the shit that I love doing.
00:15:42.340 But the truth is, is you could take all that shit away from me and I'm still going to work
00:15:47.300 twice as fucking hard as everybody else. 0.86
00:15:49.360 You could give me all that shit in the world and I'm still going to work twice as hard as
00:15:53.560 everybody else.
00:15:54.320 Because I play for the fucking win.
00:15:58.000 And when you play for the fucking win and you have a little bit of endurance and you have
00:16:02.400 a little bit of grit and you're able to outlast all the basic motherfuckers at the bottom 0.99
00:16:06.880 of the pyramid, that's when you've created something powerful.
00:16:10.640 That's where you want to try to be.
00:16:13.100 And guys, the reason I'm talking about this as like it's a skill because it is a fucking
00:16:18.380 skill.
00:16:19.340 You could train yourself to be this way.
00:16:21.820 A lot of the people who are working in the jobs that they don't want and the jobs that
00:16:27.900 they hate where other fucking guru motherfuckers are telling you just to quit those jobs and 0.97
00:16:32.320 go all in on what you love.
00:16:33.800 Look, motherfucker.
00:16:34.880 Those jobs have value.
00:16:36.380 Why do those jobs have value?
00:16:38.340 Because when you can do what you hate to the maximum degree of effectiveness, when you
00:16:44.160 can become the very best at cooking French fries or the very best at making Big Macs or
00:16:51.420 the very best used car salesman or whatever the fuck it is that you do that you hate that 0.84
00:16:57.440 you're doing so that you can do what you love one day.
00:17:00.440 When you can become the very best at that, you are training yourself to play for blood.
00:17:07.600 You are training yourself to play for the win.
00:17:12.460 That job has value.
00:17:14.940 Whatever the fuck it is you do right now, it has extreme value because it's going to train
00:17:21.020 you to have the skills, to have the drive, to have the competitive advantage that you're
00:17:26.980 going to need down the road.
00:17:30.900 Go back and listen to this podcast over and over and over and grasp how this works because
00:17:37.080 what I'm telling you here is the truth.
00:17:40.980 The competition at the beginning is going to be hard.
00:17:44.680 You're not skilled.
00:17:45.880 There's lots of people to compete.
00:17:47.360 There's lots of people who are ignorant, that are talking shit, that want you to feel like
00:17:51.640 you're inferior.
00:17:53.260 It's a hard place to be.
00:17:55.800 And on top of putting yourself in that hard place, you have to do a lot of shit that you
00:18:00.700 don't like to even be in that position.
00:18:03.520 And that sucks too.
00:18:06.220 And then when you start to win, it can actually poison the rest of your work.
00:18:12.220 It can poison your drive.
00:18:13.580 It can poison your success because it gives you the perception that you're good, that you're
00:18:21.040 winning, and that you're going to continue to win.
00:18:24.660 And you have to be aware of that up front.
00:18:28.760 Be someone who plays for the win.
00:18:31.020 Be someone who values every opportunity they have.
00:18:34.240 If you're cooking fucking French fries, make the best fucking French fries. 0.52
00:18:37.320 If you're making Big Macs, make the best fucking Big Macs.
00:18:39.800 And know that you're preparing yourself for moving forward.
00:18:44.340 Know that you are putting yourself in a position and cultivating the skills that you are going
00:18:49.600 to need when you get the opportunity to move away from the shit that you hate and into the shit 0.83
00:18:56.820 that you love.
00:18:57.460 We'll see you next time.
