REAL AF with Andy Frisella - Quit Fearing the Work, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO82

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and

00:00:15.040 I am the motherfucking CEO. Thursday Thunder time, bitches. Listen up. Here's the deal, 1.00

00:00:20.880 guys. What would you accomplish if you weren't afraid of doing the work? I want you to think

00:00:29.860 about that. I want you to think long and hard. A lot of people say that person's lazy. They say

00:00:36.800 that person doesn't like to do things. That person likes to lay around. That person doesn't do the

00:00:42.240 work. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I would argue this. I would say there's a lot of people

00:00:48.280 that appear to be lazy that are afraid of the work. It's not that they don't want to do it.

00:00:53.620 It's that they build it up in their head as such a gigantic task and such a monumental effort that

00:00:59.300 they are actually afraid of the fucking work. Think about someone who's overweight, who's 400

00:01:05.040 or 500 pounds, and they're afraid to go on a walk or they're afraid to go to the gym. It's not that

00:01:12.000 they don't want to do it. It's that they are fucking terrified of actually doing it for whatever reason.

00:01:17.800 People looking at them, feeling uncomfortable, feeling awkward, not knowing what they're doing.

00:01:23.140 Guys, I think all of us possess this at some level. I'm here to tell you guys, you will sell

00:01:31.080 yourself tremendously short in life if you go through life afraid of the work. We can't do

00:01:39.980 great things and become great things if we are terrified of the work. True champions in life,

00:01:46.520 they embrace the work. They embrace the process. They like the sweat. They like the blood.

00:01:51.820 They like the tears. They don't sit around and think about, you know what, man, I'd like to climb

00:01:58.100 Mount Everest, but that seems like it would be really a lot of work and take a lot of time.

00:02:03.520 So I'm just not going to do it. I'm going to do something else. Why the fuck do we do that?

00:02:07.620 Why do we do that? You guys have to fucking clear all these pussy ass thoughts out of your mind

00:02:14.140 about yourself, about your life, about what it is you want to accomplish in your career,

00:02:19.040 in your personal life, everything, guys. Good shit takes work. That's just the way it is.

00:02:25.900 And the hardest things in life are also usually the most rewarding. So every time you get a thought

00:02:32.400 of how you want to achieve this great thing or do this great thing, or you say something like this,

00:02:37.820 wouldn't it be cool to do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and then you don't do that? Guys, you are

00:02:42.880 selling yourself short of that experience that will ultimately dim the quality of your life for

00:02:49.820 your entire existence. We do not live forever. We don't have unlimited time to do all these great

00:02:58.380 things. And guess what? No, you're not going to fucking do it tomorrow. So why are you not doing it?

00:03:04.840 It's because you're too big of a pussy to embrace the fucking work. All right? Success is hard.

00:03:13.820 Good things are hard. Being a millionaire is fucking hard. But you know what else is fucking hard?

00:03:20.180 Being broke as fuck. Being the guy who could have been. Living with regret. Those things are hard as fuck.

00:03:28.480 Okay? And I would choose the work and success and all the things that come with it over the regret,

00:03:36.460 the fear, the fucking anxiety of not living up to my potential any day of the week. 0.90

00:03:44.720 But Andy, you know, success is a ring toss. You know, you might do the work and not get the result.

00:03:52.760 No, motherfucker. You're thinking like an average person now. You're talking yourself out of the work

00:03:58.000 in a different way. Okay? Success, like I've said, a trillion fucking times on this podcast,

00:04:04.660 it's an equation of math. It's A plus B equals fucking C. It's 1 plus 1 equals fucking 2.

00:04:12.520 It's 3 plus 3 equals fucking 6. I don't think I need to keep beating this horse. If you do the

00:04:19.700 fucking work, you will produce the result. Now, will you produce the result in a day? No. Will you

00:04:26.620 produce the result in a week? No, you won't. But here's what happens. You will move along the path

00:04:32.520 and you will make mistakes. And when these mistakes happen, you will learn lessons. And because you

00:04:38.840 learn these lessons, you will not make the same mistake over and over again. And once you go through

00:04:43.400 enough time and once you go through enough fuck-ups, you know enough to actually achieve the result that

00:04:51.040 you're after. Okay? It is very simple. But so many of you, because society jams the idea of luck,

00:04:59.220 of circumstances, of fucking fairy tale stories down your throat, you still believe that it's luck. 0.89

00:05:05.600 You still believe there's the magic godmother fairy of fucking success that comes down and sprinkles,

00:05:11.760 you know, dollar bills on your fucking head. It doesn't work that way. And you can either choose

00:05:17.960 to go on with your life, buying that story, or you could choose to embrace the fucking work 0.91

00:05:24.740 right here, right now, and move down the path, take your beatings, get better from them,

00:05:30.940 and become what it is that you are supposed to become. It's your fucking choice, guys. Take it or

00:05:39.140 fucking leave me. 0.97

00:05:39.980 Okay, what's up?

00:05:43.800 Okay, what's up?

00:05:44.760 Okay, what's up?

00:05:47.080 Okay, what's up?

00:05:48.160 Okay, what's up?

00:05:50.840 Okay, what's up?

00:05:54.060 Right on my brand new 99.

00:05:55.800 Okay.
