00:00:00.000
what is up guys you're listening to the mf ceo project i'm andy i'm your host and i am
00:00:16.900
the motherfucking ceo guys if this is your first time listening if you don't know what
00:00:22.620
a motherfucking ceo is let me wrap your little tiny brains around it you got to go through life
00:00:28.380
it's a must we all have to do it we all have to struggle we all have people that kick us in the
00:00:33.820
balls we all have people that slap us in the faces but guess what you're going to have to man
00:00:38.800
up and deal with it or you're going to have to cower down be a pussy and take the world's ass
00:00:45.160
beatings as they come okay why would you do that why would you sit around and let the world have
00:00:50.440
its way with you why would you let the world smash you down when you have all the potential to be
00:00:56.480
great every single person listening to this right now has that potential we all have special skills
00:01:02.940
we all have special talents we all have the ability to be great and the problem is is that society beats
00:01:11.180
us down so much that we don't believe in ourselves and so what this podcast is about obviously is
00:01:19.180
entrepreneurial information business information how to practically succeed in those areas but also
00:01:27.500
it's about how to become a fucking boss and be the motherfucking ceo of you so it's a little mix of
00:01:34.420
self-help it's a little mix of practical knowledge but all this stuff matters and my goal is is that you
00:01:40.080
turn the table and be the one kicking life's ass instead of having life kick your ass all right as
00:01:46.860
always i'm joined by my host my co-host vaughn the impaler what's up my man things are good man
00:01:53.880
2016 was good we got two more days of it yeah yeah i agree in spite of what everybody else is saying
00:01:59.080
yeah we got a lot of people fucking crying don't we yeah oh 2016 was so tough on me jesus christ
00:02:04.860
wine a little fucking more you know what i mean yeah i mean dude like how much can you fucking wine
00:02:11.520
before you realize that nobody gives a fuck about your whining right you know these people making these
00:02:16.500
facebook and instagram posts about 2016 being the worst year ever no it's not the worst year ever
00:02:22.740
you're the fucking worst right you know like who thinks that fuck apparently a lot of people yeah
00:02:27.860
a bunch of fucking losers i mean worse than you know the year that hitler was around or the year
00:02:33.220
the great depression i mean you have so much and you're putting look man what do you expect we're
00:02:37.720
surrounded by a generation a whole entire generation of people that were told that they're special that
00:02:43.720
they get a participation trophy for showing up that it's okay to finish last you're still good
00:02:48.220
what do you think you know these people get out in the real world and what do they do when things
00:02:52.580
don't go their way they fucking whine because whining's worked their whole life right you know
00:02:56.560
what i mean and when whining works your whole life and you're told you're special your whole life and
00:03:00.220
then all of a sudden the world steps on your nuts a little bit it's it's hard to deal with you know
00:03:05.100
yep and uh that's part of the reason we do this podcast is to bring the reality of the world back
00:03:11.240
into perspective you know so many people are idealists you know they think that things should
00:03:19.000
be a certain way and they believe they should be a certain way and they somehow confuse that into
00:03:24.660
things are that way right you know and the way they should be in the way they are two different
00:03:28.660
things and i can tell you that right now you know you're going to be much more successful dealing
00:03:32.620
with the way things are whether they be the harshest thing possible and just dealing with it
00:03:37.260
rather than pretending things are the way they should be and trying to to navigate that way
00:03:42.880
in a world where things are the way they are if that makes sense makes total sense yeah so what
00:03:48.140
are you most excited about in 2017 you know i'm always excited so i don't know that i'm excited more
00:03:57.220
than i would ever be about anything else i'm you know our our companies are gonna this is gonna be a
00:04:03.620
breakout year for us um you know people say oh you're already doing all this business and you're
00:04:08.460
doing this and that yeah but that's you know not anything compared to what we want to be doing
00:04:14.660
so you know we're still a little peon in the grand scheme of things so i think this is going to be a
00:04:19.140
breakout year for us we're getting the attention of some people that uh that are you know big influencers
00:04:26.460
we're getting the attention of you know i've seen people who are a-list celebrities using our
00:04:31.700
products um i'm excited i see it's starting to gain real traction so that's kind of cool i agree
00:04:36.620
i uh i'm excited about the mf ceo project movement i think in the last year i mean we're now up to
00:04:41.980
literally millions of followers or i don't like the term followers friends right millions of people in
00:04:47.900
the in the movement and i just i think it's just going to grow exponentially well i think that's the
00:04:52.560
that's the biggest difference between listening to this podcast or listening to other podcasts i mean
00:04:57.980
this is a community of people who all are fucking tired of what we just talked about the whining the
00:05:06.240
bitching the crying we're we're dealing with a group of people here that are competitors that want to win
00:05:14.400
that want to be successful that want to make money that want to you know be the champion of their lives
00:05:20.460
and not be another you know beat down feel sorry for myself pussy that the world wants us all to be
00:05:31.380
you know and they don't apologize for it i think that's fucking awesome you know i don't apologize
00:05:35.600
for where i am in life i work fucking hard to get here right you know i had a dude tell me in the gym
00:05:40.560
uh the other day i drove my roles to the gym and he's like what are you trying to do show everybody up
00:05:44.880
it's like look motherfucker i work my fucking dick off to get where i am and just because you
00:05:49.740
fucking decided to drink beer with your fucking neighbors every night when i was working my ass
00:05:53.960
off for 30 you know 20 fucking years now you know i'm not trying to show you up but this is how i
00:05:59.660
want to live so fuck you right you know and and dude i think people are tired of that whole mentality
00:06:04.380
that it's not cool to be successful no it's cool to win it's cool to be successful it's cool to be the
00:06:09.800
fucking champion of your life it's cool to fulfill your potential it's cool to be able to help people
00:06:13.920
and you can't do that being a broke motherfucker sitting on your fucking igloo cooler in your
00:06:18.440
driveway drinking beers with your fucking neighbors it's truth absolutely you know and people it's
00:06:23.860
like it's like in junior high school you know the cool thing was to like act like you're like you
00:06:28.200
don't know the right answer you know what i mean like you don't go that you're supposed to grow out
00:06:31.800
of that you're supposed to grow out of that you're supposed to get the right answer you're supposed
00:06:34.740
to get you're supposed to become useful become valuable become the person who's getting fucking paid
00:06:39.140
that's fucking cool you know i don't see i literally don't see how anybody could fucking
00:06:44.360
have that mentality like i had this fucking person asked me a couple weeks ago like they said what
00:06:50.500
they said something i can't remember exact comment but what it was to the tune of have you ever dealt
00:06:56.900
with the fear of being successful and i'm like the fuck are you talking about the fear of being the
00:07:02.720
fuck are you talking about that's all i've ever wanted my entire life fuck no i'm not afraid of it
00:07:08.180
and no i've never dealt with it and you're a person who deals with the fear of being successful
00:07:11.980
you're a fucking pussy and that's it dude it's hard as fuck to be successful if you're afraid of it
00:07:18.940
you can fucking just go ahead and retire and kick your fucking feet up and watch fucking dukes of
00:07:24.040
hazard whatever the fuck you watch and be happy doing that because dude it takes all your energy and
00:07:31.240
i'm a smart motherfucker am i the smartest motherfucker no i'm not but i'm smart i'm learning every day
00:07:37.640
i make it a habit to learn you know what if i have to struggle as hard as i have to become
00:07:44.620
what quote unquote people consider successful which by the way i don't consider myself successful
00:07:49.520
because i want to be a fucking billionaire okay then you better get rid of the fucking oh
00:07:56.780
what does that even mean dude what do people mean when they say that like i can't even comprehend it so
00:08:02.900
i like it's so out of my fucking brain you what are you talking about that what do you what is the
00:08:10.620
fear of being successful what does that mean to people honestly i've heard that before and two
00:08:16.920
confessions i've sympathized with what i thought they meant but the more i advance in life and the
00:08:22.000
more i the more i you know fulfill my own potential i don't know what there is to be afraid of
00:08:28.740
it's exhilarating you know like i've been the happiest i would say in the last three weeks i've
00:08:33.460
been the happiest i ever have been and it's because i think i've gotten far more disciplined
00:08:37.240
even in the just the last three weeks getting up at four o'clock in the morning my wife said
00:08:40.840
you are the happiest you've ever been i said i know because you're most productive i've been most
00:08:45.660
productive it's not even about the money but my point is is like what what are they say mc salmon
00:08:50.180
chime in what are they saying what does that mean be afraid of success i don't even think they know
00:08:55.580
what it means i i you know what that might be true because they're just parroting something that
00:09:00.300
they once heard yeah back in the day which you know the fuck are you talking about it made no
00:09:04.840
sense yeah i'm afraid to have an extra money my bank account i'm afraid of fucking making new friends
00:09:10.520
that you know what i think it might be letting go of their old life that's what i'm saying i think it
00:09:14.800
might be that like oh it's comfortable if i make money right then so and so i'm not going to be
00:09:19.540
friends with them or they're going to be different and my dude you don't understand that
00:09:23.600
because you grow and level up in life the relationships you used to have some of them
00:09:31.020
might fade out but you replace them with new relationships that are more in line with what
00:09:34.400
the fuck you really want yeah and people forget they think that they're like that's like that
00:09:38.800
fucking lonely at the top saying i fucking hate that saying oh it's lonely at the top what the fuck
00:09:44.200
are you talking about you've been at the top no they haven't even seen the top i haven't i'm not at
00:09:49.860
the top but i can tell you what every relationship i have now is 10 times better than the relationship
00:09:54.640
i had 10 years ago right all of them you know what i'm saying yeah absolutely i think a lot of
00:10:01.040
it has to do with what uncle grant says this is when you're successful there's a cycle you know you
00:10:05.440
have they ignore you then they criticize you then they actually oppose you and then they copy you and
00:10:09.860
i think when people get successful i think if they're honest what they're afraid of is getting
00:10:13.100
criticized that's what they're afraid of they're afraid of doing anything that's well there's no
00:10:17.600
question that that affliction that fear of being criticized is 99.99 of the world right you know
00:10:24.820
what i mean because it doesn't feel good it doesn't the first time somebody says something negative to
00:10:30.540
you you don't just brush it off you you like screenshot it and then you say it's all your
00:10:35.820
friends look at this fucking guy said you know what i mean and you know you're all upset because
00:10:40.660
it's it's new to you and you're not used to it but it's like anything it's it's the same analogy i put
00:10:47.340
out there as like you know getting into a fucking you know cold swimming pool or getting into a hot
00:10:53.360
tub dude it's hard to get in at first but once you're in there you really can't tell you know
00:10:58.140
like people say negative shit to me i just fucking block them right you know like dude if you're not
00:11:02.460
there to support me fuck you get off my page yeah and i get criticized for that why you block people
00:11:06.420
for having a differentiating opinion well you know what because i'm an adult and when i don't agree
00:11:10.160
with your fucking post i keep scrolling motherfucker i don't try to like make you look stupid and you're
00:11:14.600
successful because you don't waste time and energy on exactly i'm not gonna give that person my
00:11:18.000
fucking attention that's all they want i'm gonna give my attention to people that fucking support
00:11:22.160
me right you know i don't know man i at the end of the day people are still fucking pussies that's
00:11:27.680
what it's all to come down to you know i'm gonna whine i'm gonna cry and hopefully something's gonna
00:11:32.420
change for me by whining and crying which nothing ever does right the only thing that changes for you
00:11:36.420
is your perception that other people have of you goes from being a normal human to being a whiny
00:11:41.600
crybaby fucking bitch and people say you know when you text them to go to dinner they're gonna
00:11:45.820
text you back you know what i mean that's the shit that changes for you right you know and what
00:11:50.260
gets me dude is like all these people out there that whine and cry and bitch and that are single
00:11:55.620
and like they like like dude if i'm single i'm gonna try to put my fucking a game out there
00:11:59.460
like i'm not like gonna try to act like a crybaby about things not going my way i'm gonna try to act
00:12:04.160
like i'm the fucking man so i can get some chicks like dudes dudes i'm talking to you dudes
00:12:09.300
like dude if you're whining and crying about shit like these girls are not gonna be about that
00:12:13.180
like oh i'm just being real well we go be real by yourself motherfucker like dude what are you like
00:12:19.400
girls are the same way like all guys are dogs all guys are pieces of shit blah blah what guy is
00:12:24.280
gonna want to date you exactly like i don't understand what people are thinking when they put the shit out
00:12:30.360
there for people to read like bro be real but you know filter that shit a little bit like i mean you know
00:12:38.840
what i'm saying it's ridiculous yeah yeah like i i don't know man i mean it's just proof that most
00:12:45.240
people bring all their problems on themselves you know yeah they're constantly posting negative shit
00:12:49.500
and they're like no i couldn't i couldn't find a guy well no shit you're fucking crazy it's like
00:12:54.240
somebody said the other day i i read this uh all of your problems had the same common denominator
00:12:58.820
yeah i wrote that thank you yes that's hilarious bond me andy yeah well see i'm all i'm around your
00:13:06.920
stuff all the time i just now it's just like anytime anything good said i just assume it's
00:13:11.460
it's you uh well that's a good assumption yeah yeah it's probably exactly exactly well we are coming
00:13:16.520
to the end of the uh we've got two more days before the end of the year and i think it's appropriate
00:13:20.800
we're talking about today's topic is really finished well actually this is going to post the the first
00:13:28.180
podcast of 2017 that's true that's true so so yeah so this will be but we're talking today so today
00:13:34.780
is fucking thursday and you're gonna hear this on tuesday yeah next so now you know our secret
00:13:39.440
yeah we pre-record shit exactly so um so we're talking about perseverance we're talking about
00:13:45.500
finishing and uh gotta finish strong yeah so i guess my question is uh finish too early just right up
00:13:52.220
front am i making you uncomfortable me he's not even fucking listening i'm not me and tyler over
00:13:58.620
here joking laughing at my perverted jokes yeah i just i just see cum going all over the place right now
00:14:02.940
see i have to go past that because what you just cross the line you know i got i got i got i got a
00:14:08.400
couple a little blowback from uh you know when our last podcast we were talking about depression and
00:14:13.480
you know we're we've been nice and we're talking about everything in all that section you know that
00:14:18.180
whole section about us basically telling people we're you know we're here for you depression's not
00:14:23.240
the same as as as just being lazy i apparently quoted you in saying you know the p word that you just
00:14:29.960
oh yeah yeah so i got blowback for saying that like from all the holier than now so they were
00:14:35.540
saying like it was really tough hearing you how many people five oh my god no i have a million if
00:14:41.840
that's it well that's true but i'm just saying my point is is that is that whole mindset that you're
00:14:47.560
literally within the you're in a you're in a larger conversation meant to meant to help somebody
00:14:52.240
and somebody's nitpicking about that one little thing that whole mindset is just foreign to me i don't
00:14:58.000
get it well i mean you know it's an astral cult look dude you're giving them attention right now
00:15:05.860
yeah so you're just talking about the same shit we just talked about well you're worse than they
00:15:11.080
are no i'm not you're the fucking grasshopper i don't fuck a sensei okay fine wax on bitch
00:15:17.220
all right well back to back to perseverance so in your mind what is what are the expectations
00:15:27.400
for the whole road to success that you actually think set people up to just end up giving up
00:15:33.860
and not not persevering you know the biggest thing is is the way it's the message that society sends to
00:15:43.680
people you know most people don't know people who are successful and if they know people who are
00:15:50.300
successful they didn't witness their success they didn't see them start and then work their asses off
00:15:56.540
for 20 years and then become quote unquote successful so because they don't witness that
00:16:03.320
process and they only know the person if they if they if they're fortunate enough to know somebody
00:16:07.720
who's on that level which most people don't they only know them once they've achieved their success
00:16:13.000
so you're only seeing the finished product you know and then you look on tv there's no fucking
00:16:19.060
reality tv that shows you know the rock back when he was fucking you know wrestling in bars and shit
00:16:27.560
trying to become wwe champion uh and make his way nobody nobody shows bill gates working in his
00:16:34.080
fucking garage or steve jobs working in his garage or or uh zuckerberg working in his fucking dorm room
00:16:40.600
nobody shows that so by the time these people are known all we see is the end product
00:16:45.160
and people assume now i don't think consciously i think they're they're just
00:16:49.660
bred to think this that like dude that's just how these people are and so they think it's like
00:16:54.300
this thing like this predestined or predestination concept like this person was you know i call it
00:17:01.220
the fairy tale or magic dust you know the magic success fairy sprinkle some dust on these people's head
00:17:05.940
and they got successful because if you listen how most people talk about success they talk about it like
00:17:11.220
this well if one day i'm fortunate enough to blah blah blah or one day if i'm lucky enough to get to
00:17:16.840
this point in life and blah dude it has nothing to do with that like i just had to have this talk with
00:17:21.840
my own guys yesterday is people have the tendency to believe that things are out of their control
00:17:28.220
you know and that's what we're taught our whole lives i mean fuck you're a pastor dude you know that
00:17:33.900
this is what this is taught you know you were a pastor okay but the point is is you know i mean how many
00:17:39.480
people did you deal with that thought that their whole entire life was in god's hands and because
00:17:45.380
that they didn't fucking do anything right i mean no i'm asking like how many people it was an excuse
00:17:49.540
for passivity yeah no i mean i mean it was majority of people yes majority of people think that so
00:17:54.160
because people see the end product and they think that they have no control they assume that being
00:18:00.260
successful is just something that people are as opposed to a process that people or a path that people
00:18:06.220
go down and every successful person explains to these people that it's a path but those people
00:18:12.820
still in their head they think oh they're just saying that because that's what all successful
00:18:16.100
people say and instead of actually thinking wow they might be actually telling the truth
00:18:20.700
that it is an a plus b plus c you know type type deal instead of magic um so i think that
00:18:28.760
because people have a hard time witnessing the process and they can't witness the process because
00:18:35.200
where can they witness the process i don't know of a place that somebody can go witness a process
00:18:39.580
unless you're willing to sit there for 20 years and watch something which you're not going to do
00:18:45.040
so so how do you witness that process to actually believe it's possible besides other people telling
00:18:51.380
you that that's what they did that you don't believe yeah the only thing there is an element of
00:18:58.400
you have to trust 100 percent are telling the truth so and most people don't have faith right
00:19:02.940
you know most people believe because what we just talked about that it's something that people just
00:19:07.600
are and that's not the case so i think that you know when it comes to the time that it takes to be
00:19:14.460
successful because people feel like it's just something you are and let's say it takes 15 years or 10
00:19:22.020
years or even five years they get through one year and they say fucking nothing's happening
00:19:26.200
you know and uh one of the coolest stories i like about this actually and i use this analogy all the
00:19:33.800
time with my own guys um is the bamboo the chinese bamboo tree okay um chinese bamboo you put it in the
00:19:42.560
ground and you have to maintain the ground water the ground fertilize the ground for five years before it
00:19:48.980
ever sprouts okay you will not see a fucking result for five years but you have to continue to water the
00:19:55.740
ground continue to fertilize the ground and then after five years within six weeks of it sprouting it grows to
00:20:01.540
a height of 80 feet all right and that's how business is that's that's how success is for the first five
00:20:07.580
years you're going to be fucking doing all the work you're not going to be seeing any result but then once the
00:20:11.920
result happens it happens it's like a hockey stick curve you know where you got the long handle part of the
00:20:17.180
stick is very flat and then the success part is that where the blade is and it just shoots up and
00:20:22.660
that's how that's how success works but people just don't understand that because they've never been
00:20:26.720
through it and they've never been able to witness it so they don't have the faith to stick with it and
00:20:31.240
that causes you know them to quit but it's also it's also a convenient excuse because instead of just
00:20:36.040
being honest and saying listen i'm lazy they say it's magic so it's out of my hands so of course
00:20:42.200
yeah i mean that it's a protective yeah it's a protective way of thinking you know because
00:20:46.820
nobody's ever just going to straight out say listen i just don't want to work i've had a couple people
00:20:50.400
say that to me and i appreciate that like dude someone like people who say to me like look dude i
00:20:54.440
just don't want to work i had a i actually had a business owner tell me that um i went to a restaurant
00:21:00.360
that was unbelievable in kansas city and the owner was working there and i and they only have one space
00:21:06.040
um and i asked her i said i said you your restaurant is amazing i said have you ever
00:21:12.940
thought of like opening more restaurants and she just looked at me she goes i don't want to work
00:21:15.960
that hard and i'm like okay hey you know what i respect that yeah i respect that she knows what
00:21:23.140
she wants she's getting what she wants she's winning because she's getting what she wants that's okay
00:21:27.940
you know but most people you know they won't be that honest with themselves they won't be and they
00:21:32.800
sure as fuck won't be honest with other people about that right but i respected that i thought
00:21:36.320
it was really cool i mean i was definitely shocked because i really thought it was one of the best
00:21:40.100
uh restaurants that i had been to in terms of like quick type eateries but uh but i mean you know hey
00:21:48.900
if you don't want to work that hard don't so you have somebody who thinks that success is magic
00:21:54.420
and so they they start on the path and then they immediately realize oh this is going to take some hard
00:22:00.580
work and and so that's why they quit but then there are other people who understand that success
00:22:07.260
takes hard work but as they work they might experience because let's let's face it we all
00:22:12.420
experience this you've you've mentioned this before you're working hard and then you just hit a wall or
00:22:16.420
you hit conflict do you think there are people out there who think wow i must be doing something
00:22:21.380
wrong because there's all this conflict and things things are messy what would you say look people okay i
00:22:25.940
just had to have this conversation with one of my main employees uh this week who is a fucking awesome
00:22:32.000
dude and for years he's been one of my best employees like naturally talented awesome enthusiasm
00:22:38.200
never struggled because he has so much natural ability and this last six months dude he's been fucking
00:22:45.060
struggling because he's you're that level the enthusiasm the passion the fire that only takes you so far
00:22:53.480
before you have to you have to keep tabs on your skills at all times and always be working towards
00:22:59.140
sharpening that blade you know i use the analogy of an axe all right you have an axe okay now you
00:23:06.880
swing the axe there's three things that need to happen for an axe to do its job all right you got to
00:23:11.920
swing the axe right secondly you got to hit the same spot on the tree multiple times so you got to be
00:23:17.820
consistent all right but what's the third thing that the axe has to have it's got to be sharp it's got to be a
00:23:22.740
sharp fucking blade and if the blade's not sharp it doesn't matter how many times you smash the tree
00:23:28.280
in the same spot with the axe you're not going to cut anything down and that's the problem that most
00:23:33.120
people have with hitting a wall they swing they swing they swing they swing and when they first start
00:23:38.340
their axe is really sharp but but over the course of let's say seven eight nine ten years business
00:23:43.680
changes things change techniques change so you have to constantly be aware and this is where my favorite
00:23:50.580
fucking stupid ass term self-awareness comes into play that has been beaten into the dirt yeah but
00:23:56.100
you have to be self-aware enough to know that you need to step back and sharpen your fucking blade
00:24:01.520
and so this guy hasn't been sharpening his blade he's been pounding and pounding and pounding and
00:24:06.740
pounding and pounding and all of a sudden he's not cutting down trees like he was we couldn't figure
00:24:12.240
out why that made him frustrated and it got to the point where he was talking about maybe even
00:24:16.220
leaving the company and i had to sit down with him and i said hey look man you've got all the tools
00:24:21.800
you're just not doing this you know and dude that was four days ago in the last four days he's been
00:24:27.140
fucking killing it because it takes humility to take a step back because if you're good for a long time
00:24:32.540
and you're doing good or you're seeing progress you know it's easy to believe you are good and it's easy
00:24:39.120
to not be humble and and when i speak about humble i don't i don't mean that the person's arrogant
00:24:45.540
and they think that they're the greatest thing ever they just think they're good enough to where
00:24:48.980
they don't need to fucking sharpen that blade or they don't need to they don't need to learn anymore
00:24:52.020
or they think they might know this particular part and humility plays a huge part in busting through
00:24:58.660
barriers because humility and self-awareness because you have to be able to a recognize
00:25:02.960
you know fuck i'm not getting the result that i was let me look at my blade or b and b be humble
00:25:09.260
enough to say hey uh you know my skills aren't up to where they need to be i need to learn some new
00:25:14.860
shit and adapt that that that second point is a super important point because i think so many
00:25:21.420
people assume that if there is conflict whether it's in business or whether you know it's just
00:25:25.180
conflict you're you're you're experiencing something messy as you pursue a goal that they must be doing
00:25:30.300
something wrong whereas in fact the conflict could be telling you you're on the right path you just have
00:25:34.660
to adjust a little bit in other words the conflict is not the sign of danger it's a sign that
00:25:38.880
it's a teacher exactly teacher i've always found that conflict in business or rough spots in business
00:25:43.980
were always the result of something i did okay they were either the result of me becoming complacent
00:25:50.440
and not keeping my axe sharp and like dude when my axe isn't sharp everybody suffers you know so that's
00:25:56.440
a lot of pressure for me and any ceo like um it's not just about me it's you know it's about everybody
00:26:03.120
so like dude i don't like seeing my guys suffer you know so i've got to constantly be putting
00:26:08.180
updated information and updated techniques and staying creative all the time um but i i think
00:26:15.480
that i think that most people have a really hard time i don't think most people think of it like i
00:26:22.780
just said they they when they think a problem they they and especially because of the way that i i kind
00:26:27.660
of talk especially on instagram it's about working hard it's about working hard it's about working hard
00:26:31.960
blah blah blah no it's about working fucking smart too you know what i mean and you can't always
00:26:36.440
pound your way out of a situation you have to actually take a step back and when we've had
00:26:41.740
problems in our business which we've had plenty most of the time it was a result of something that i did
00:26:46.560
that i wasn't doing properly that once i stepped back and figured it out it corrected itself right but
00:26:52.600
you know i i don't think most people believe that i think most people believe even ceos dude i talk
00:26:58.680
to fucking ceos all the time and they they tell you things like oh the market or oh this or oh this
00:27:05.640
recession or oh the cost of this goods you know is making it so we can't make money there's always
00:27:11.280
a solution the solution is in your brain you're just not taking the time to step back and doing
00:27:17.460
the the adaption that needs the adaptation that needs to happen you know and business is a constant
00:27:23.760
flow man it's it's people think that success is like this thing that you achieve it's not it success
00:27:35.100
is is a constant fluid idea or process where you're going to go up two steps you're going to
00:27:43.400
take a step back you're going to go up two steps you're going to take a step back and if you're and
00:27:47.660
this is this is especially hurtful for people with natural ability who succeed like guys who are very
00:27:54.900
successful in sales for example that have gotten by on their enthusiasm or gotten by on their personality
00:28:01.040
but they don't ever learn the skills because they were so good in the beginning because they were
00:28:04.740
naturally good right when they hit those barriers they seem like fucking crushing blows you know because
00:28:11.400
they now think that they failed when in reality they just didn't do all all the things necessary to
00:28:16.180
start with absolutely so to recap before we continue so two things one uh people give up and don't
00:28:24.920
persevere because they really believe it's magic that the road to success is magical and not working
00:28:29.920
and then secondly they give up because when they experience conflict or they experience difficulty
00:28:35.360
they assume that it's a sign of inevitable doom rather than looking at it as an opportunity for
00:28:39.740
progress so the third thing i i popped into my head that i know is a huge part of this and you
00:28:44.140
touched on it just a second ago but we got to repeat it is that is this whole idea that success is not a
00:28:49.940
microwave right it's you're not gonna get success overnight and how what else would you like to add
00:28:55.460
to the fact that it just takes time i mean dude we've talked about that so many times you know if
00:29:02.900
people don't grasp the idea of aggressive patience right now they're they're not gonna we've talked
00:29:07.400
about it a hundred times um you have to know it's going to take time uh you have to learn to ignore the
00:29:16.160
outside messages and the outside influence like when i see shit on tv about these you know super rich
00:29:22.800
people and this and that first of all i think the media and people who produce tv do people in in
00:29:34.820
general a disservice dude i was driving to work the other day and i was driving my rolls and i was and i got
00:29:41.600
stopped just out of chance next to a bus stop where there was three dudes that looked like they were
00:29:46.640
i mean they were fucking struggling in their life all three of them were fucking scratching off lottery
00:29:52.540
tickets and like dude it just sent like a total fucking message in my brain it's like dude like i
00:29:58.460
wanted to fucking go talk to him and be like look but they're so far those guys are so far in that
00:30:03.680
mindset that there's no way to break them out of it right you know and i don't have time to fucking sit
00:30:08.940
down and counsel every single person but at the end of the day with perseverance man you know it's
00:30:15.240
what i say all the time people who are going to succeed are going to succeed and people who aren't
00:30:19.040
aren't and you know i was i believe that i was born to be fucking successful i believe it and
00:30:27.520
anything else i mean it doesn't i don't doubt that so like for me no matter what happens i don't doubt
00:30:35.180
my fucking path or my journey or i just know that it's something that we're gonna get through
00:30:39.860
um i don't think that most people feel that way you know i feel like i mean i can bring you a million
00:30:47.940
examples you know from when i was eight years old and i fucking saw my first lamborghini i knew i was
00:30:52.560
gonna have one you know i used to have fucking dreams and about being a rapper okay like dude for real
00:31:00.500
like yeah okay and i used to think i was gonna be a rapper but you know it turns out that while i
00:31:07.740
did i'm not a rapper i do get in front of big crowds and entertain them and speak to them all the time
00:31:12.580
so maybe it didn't exactly happen the way that i wanted but the same you get the same result you
00:31:18.000
know what i mean you get that like cool fun speaking in public or public entertainer whatever the
00:31:23.220
fuck you want to call it um but i mean i don't doubt i don't know i don't know man like i just don't
00:31:29.980
doubt things about myself like when i say we're gonna build the company to you know multi-billion
00:31:36.880
dollar level i don't doubt that you know and like i don't think anybody in this building would tell
00:31:43.660
you that i fucking doubt it i would say that a lot of times they doubt it but i don't doubt it
00:31:48.500
no i've definitely learned that yeah for sure yeah like so i but i don't know like i don't think
00:31:53.380
most people are like that i think most people doubt everything and i think most people think
00:31:59.540
that they're terrible and most people think that they're made to be an average joe and most people
00:32:04.480
think that life is supposed to be really fucking hard and you know sometimes i feel like i contribute
00:32:12.340
to that because of the way i speak about success like how success is fucking hard and you're gonna
00:32:16.500
have to be dedicated but the reason i do that is because i have to you have to filter out the
00:32:21.100
fucking wannabes you know the people who want it easy i don't want them i don't like the people
00:32:25.220
listening right now every motherfucker listening right now knows that success is hard because
00:32:29.280
they've watched an instagram video or they've heard me speak or they and then they're still coming
00:32:33.920
those are the like you guys listening you guys are the fucking the pre-qualified people you know i
00:32:39.200
don't want the fucking get rich quickers like dude those people chase their tails their whole life
00:32:44.700
you know i want people that fucking love the process and love to work and love to be creative and
00:32:49.020
you know i i asked chris yesterday um you know we're doing a dan fleischman's charity giving out
00:32:55.320
the backpacks we mentioned it a while ago yeah um and and i i asked him i said dude do you think you
00:33:00.900
could be homeless for a month and he goes yeah i could be homeless for a month and i'm like no i mean
00:33:05.520
really like could you be homeless for a month and he was like well i could i would definitely survive
00:33:10.120
i mean i'm not gonna fucking die and i'm like well no that's not what i mean like what i'm and what i
00:33:14.340
meant with the question is like what the fuck would you do all day like what would you do like
00:33:19.660
i couldn't not be i couldn't be like that like i couldn't i can't relate to it like what the fuck
00:33:26.220
do you do all day like you smoke cigarettes and drink some fucking booze like right how could you
00:33:32.100
do that every day right like i love what i do i love being busy i love contributing i love creating
00:33:37.800
value dude i love seeing people you know talk about how they lost 100 pounds this year using our
00:33:43.420
products with first form uh shameless plug on my own fucking show it's okay but by the way that's
00:33:50.560
firstform.com but one st phorm and by the way we are doing another transformation challenge uh this
00:33:57.700
year so go to go to uh firstform.com read about that but um you know that's what i like i like that
00:34:05.380
you know i feel like i feel like i feel like i feel like i was put here to make an impact you know
00:34:13.300
and in any way in every way i can and i think i'm doing that so it makes me feel good so so like what
00:34:20.840
would you do all fucking day smoke cigarettes i have no idea what's i'm saying like what if you
00:34:25.080
were homeless for all fuck for a fucking 30 days what would you do all day and like i was talking to
00:34:28.720
my other friend yesterday and he's like dude i'd be like take take taking my i was talking to
00:34:32.940
fleischman dan fleischman if you're not following him you gotta follow him he's a fucking awesome dude
00:34:36.600
um let me spell that for everybody at d-a-n-f-l-e-y-s-h-m-a-n yeah at dan fleischman good
00:34:45.720
dude yeah smart dude yeah and uh very successful guy but we were talking him and i were talking about
00:34:51.180
it because i'm like i'm just kind of interested in the question like what would you do and he's
00:34:54.200
like man he's like i would probably like first of all take care of my primary needs of trying to
00:34:58.840
you know eat uh and then i would probably go to like the dollar store and like make popsicle stick
00:35:04.640
like figurines and try to sell them like and that's it's funny because like that's what i would
00:35:09.100
do i would do shit like that like yeah i would go try to figure out a way to turn my dollar or ten
00:35:14.680
dollars that i collected that day into fucking a hundred you know absolutely i i don't i i that's
00:35:23.020
the only thing i could think i would do yeah maybe i'm being like maybe i'm being ridiculous but
00:35:28.520
like i just don't know what i would do all day no i think you're making a good point because like
00:35:33.400
all it doesn't take all day to survive right you know what i mean yeah no i agree but so going back
00:35:40.680
to the whole concept though of success being hard i think i'd be curious what you have to say i think
00:35:47.220
that part of the main problem with most people is they see the word hard as a negative thing and uh i
00:35:53.580
think of when my brother my brother got married like five or six years before i did and like after
00:35:58.780
a year of marriage i sat down with him we heard having a beer and i said so how's how's married
00:36:02.200
life and he said it's really hard and i was like oh man i'm sorry and he looks what's hard about it
00:36:07.920
well he he looks at me and he goes vaughn i i said it was hard i didn't say it was bad those are two
00:36:14.220
different things and i think he meant just like you know trying to put your wife's needs above his own
00:36:18.880
and doing all these things and but the but the but i do think that that's what a lot of people
00:36:24.840
think of when they think of success being hard it's it's like a negative thing but it's they think
00:36:29.280
of it as negative like they think of anything that that takes a lot of effort and focus and
00:36:33.640
and integrity yeah i agree with that yeah it's the same with working out like people people always
00:36:39.220
bitch about how hard working out is but you've never seen somebody walk out of gym after a workout
00:36:42.740
and say fuck i wish i didn't do that right you know what i'm saying like you'll see a 400 pound
00:36:47.760
dude and i've seen this fucking puke his guts out and then walk five minutes later and be like that
00:36:52.900
was fucking awesome right a dude who never worked out before and that's what it seems like successful
00:36:57.080
people they but they don't realize people don't realize that because they dude they don't have any
00:37:02.480
taste of it right you know what i mean like dude go go fucking do something entrepreneurial and
00:37:10.020
dude like you guys listening who are entrepreneurs think about the first time you sold something
00:37:14.940
you know the first order you had or the first customer you had like dude it's the greatest
00:37:19.280
fucking feeling in the world and you get fucking rich it's just the process is fun like learning
00:37:24.520
how to do it is fun i still my favorite thing to do is to be in our retail stores on the retail floor
00:37:29.440
talking to people and going through the education process and showing them what they need to do and
00:37:33.820
then having them you know write me an email a month later be like dude i lost 12 pounds
00:37:37.640
fucking awesome it's the greatest dude it's the greatest thing ever like if you can't get hyped
00:37:42.800
about that what the fuck can you get hyped about you know you took something that is a major problem
00:37:47.380
for somebody and you help them solve it and dude what's a bigger problem than their health or their
00:37:51.520
weight or their appearance or self-esteem nothing you know that's why i love what we do yeah because
00:37:57.980
you know and that's what differentiates us i think from all the other companies i mean i'm sure there's
00:38:02.600
other companies out there that care but not like we do yeah it's it's amazing though i mean it the more
00:38:09.320
i'm around successful people the more i i see how much they just delight in doing things that
00:38:14.560
demand something of them dude fuck yeah you know it's an addiction yeah you know it's like winning
00:38:20.600
man it's like gambling it's it's you know it's an addiction like you get to a point where
00:38:28.760
the that the process is more rewarding than the money and when you can get yourself in that point
00:38:36.360
that's when you really start making money yeah you know like i don't sit around and think like
00:38:41.020
how can i make money that's what i did when i made no money like when i didn't make any money i used to
00:38:45.560
think about all day like how do i make money now what i do is i think about like dude what could we
00:38:49.920
do really cool for our customers what could i do that would be really cool for our outside reps that
00:38:55.040
we call legionnaires here you know what could we do to help them what could we do to make their
00:38:59.620
experience with first one better what could i do to make a cool thing for our employees or you know
00:39:05.700
i think about all those things i don't think about the money yeah because i know if we do all those
00:39:09.140
things the money comes yeah but people people that don't have any money have a hard time understanding
00:39:13.340
that right you know so so when they do those things three or four times in the first you know
00:39:19.860
month in business they're like oh it didn't work bro they quit and you know you do you got to realize
00:39:27.120
it takes it just takes real time man yeah i think the underestimation of what kind of time it takes
00:39:34.840
is the most reason the reason most people quit whether it be in fitness whether it be you know
00:39:39.520
quitting drinking you know how much time it takes for you to not want that drink quitting smoking
00:39:44.900
how much time it takes for you to not want to smoke they underestimate those times so they think
00:39:49.840
that it's never going to happen right well that that was actually going to be a question of mine
00:39:53.560
later on which is i we know why lazy people quit because it just gets too hard but in in your mind
00:39:58.640
then the reason that otherwise well-intentioned people who actually are okay working hard you think the
00:40:04.560
reason most of those people quit is that they just they quit too soon oh yeah no doubt yeah dude
00:40:09.520
anytime you quit it's too soon yeah i mean you know there is and i want to take a touch on this
00:40:14.760
because i get asked this a lot how do you know when it is time to quit that's part of being because
00:40:19.740
there is times where you need to quit and do something else like you know if you're fucking
00:40:24.720
running your business for 15 fucking years and you haven't made you've made 800 900 bucks
00:40:29.680
you know it's time to fucking consider that maybe you're not any good at what you do right you know
00:40:35.220
what i mean uh but people don't people don't you know they take everything so literal that when you
00:40:45.080
tell somebody that it's time to quit you know or that to never quit they literally sometimes never
00:40:52.740
quit you know what i mean and there is a time to quit but you've got to be that's part of being
00:40:58.280
self-aware and recognizing like okay can i see this playing out over the next five years what
00:41:03.540
would need to happen for this to be successful and are those things feasible and you have to kind
00:41:07.520
of work a plan backwards from where you want to be and see if that shit can even happen you know
00:41:12.260
what i mean and dude if you could see it it could happen but if you can't see it you might not be in
00:41:19.660
the right position you know what i mean and you have to chuck that up to to lesson you know it's a
00:41:24.260
college course in entrepreneurship there's been a lot of things that i've gotten into that after
00:41:28.860
i got into them i realized it wasn't going to work i had to stop because if i would have kept going
00:41:32.960
i would have never made anything you know right um so it's one of those things where you've got to
00:41:41.500
know it's not always you know hey don't ever quit but there's certain things that you don't ever quit
00:41:47.860
like your diet and your fitness and your exercise if you stick with it it'll work right um and i believe
00:41:53.400
that in entrepreneurship most things can work you know i've seen some fucking crazy shit man look
00:41:57.540
at the fucking snuggie you know somebody took a fucking somebody took a fucking jacket and cut
00:42:03.020
the hood off and put it on backwards fucking made a billion dollars you know like there's a market
00:42:07.760
for shit man it's just figuring out how to do it um i mean fucking you can think of a million things
00:42:14.140
like that yeah you know the snuggie's the one that blows my mind it is it's crazy yeah you know
00:42:18.820
more power to them i would love to know if they like if you hooked them up to a lie detector if
00:42:22.920
they would say no we knew it was going to be we knew this we knew we had lightning in a dude it's
00:42:26.840
a good idea yeah i mean just like no we were just doing it to screw around and it was dude every
00:42:32.300
girl i've ever met is always fucking cold every girl that's true you know what i'm saying yeah like
00:42:38.040
they always cry about it being cold and you know it just one of those things man you stick your
00:42:43.820
fucking arms through the holes i mean it's it's pretty genius we should get an mfceo snuggie yeah man
00:42:48.540
now now that you said that somebody's gonna fucking send one yeah but that's good don't because
00:42:53.380
i'm always sweating so well so a lot of what we talk about in this show uh is paradoxical i mean
00:42:59.860
you've talked about like the balance of of working long term but also winning the day and one of the
00:43:06.840
other things that is paradoxical that i think relates to uh perseverance is the fact that you have
00:43:12.640
you are always harping on the fact that it is up to you okay it's it's about you taking personal
00:43:19.760
responsibility but then the flip side of that is you do say that to be truly successful you can't do
00:43:25.120
it alone you're going to have to surround yourself with good well eventually i don't know i personally
00:43:29.080
don't know anybody who's super financially successful that's that it doesn't by themselves
00:43:34.520
on one man show you know i know a couple guys who who do okay that way but they're not
00:43:41.700
what i would consider successful because they're always chasing their tails right so would you
00:43:46.340
consider this a true statement that you can probably look at the people around you and that will give
00:43:52.280
you an indication of whether you're going to quit or not in terms of who you're surrounding like how
00:43:57.920
much the people you surround yourself with determine whether you're going to persevere on the road to
00:44:02.340
success no i don't think that i think that i think you either no i don't know i mean it depends
00:44:11.540
on your personality i think there's a lot of people who are who are literally immune to negative
00:44:17.060
fucking input and don't give a fuck what people say like dude when people tell me i'm not going to do
00:44:21.540
something that like fires me to the point where i'm going to do it and then i'm going to send you a
00:44:25.780
fucking postcard that shows you exactly when i did it and i'm going to sign it with a fucking
00:44:30.000
middle finger i'm not kidding either no i know you're not you know and that's what i i like being
00:44:34.400
surrounded by negativity because it drives me um most people can't handle that because most people
00:44:39.740
aren't competitors you know when people tell me no that means you just guaranteed that i'm going to
00:44:45.500
fucking destroy you you know what i mean uh and i'll do anything to do that but i don't think most
00:44:50.860
people are that way i think but i think most people you know most people need to have their little
00:44:54.720
asses patted and told they did a good job and told you know oh you're so fucking special
00:44:58.840
you know and be encouraged and i've just not ever been that kind of person right but the flip
00:45:03.200
side of that is you have talked about the importance of cutting the dead weight from your
00:45:06.400
life that's why yeah i mean i don't i i cut my dead weight for my life because it's i don't like to
00:45:12.180
waste my time with it but i also i also think recognize that i'm not like most people i think most
00:45:20.140
people need to cut dead weight because they can't deal with criticism or negativity and they need
00:45:24.540
positive reinforcement and i'm just not a guy who likes positive reinforcement or
00:45:29.140
or needs it i just don't you know i i fucking reinforce my own shit so i i don't it's hard for
00:45:37.380
me to like i have to like relate to people based off my experiences with other people you know and
00:45:44.200
my experience with other people is that most people can't handle negativity they don't know how
00:45:48.000
to handle it they're not they're not tough enough to fucking take it and they don't have the attitude
00:45:53.780
of like i'm going to show you i know some few people like that they're all super successful
00:45:58.680
but um most people you know they'll fucking i mean dude that's the email or message i get the most oh
00:46:05.600
my fucking parents you say cut dead weight but my parents don't fucking believe in me well fuck your
00:46:10.840
parents you know that's the truth if that's what you want then you're gonna stop listening to fucking
00:46:15.920
mom and dad i'm not saying be mean to them but maybe don't talk to them about your fucking shit
00:46:19.800
go out and fucking do it anyway and then have them come tell you how proud they are in 10 years
00:46:24.240
that's what you're gonna have to fucking do right you know i'm not saying be an asshole but you know
00:46:28.880
when i say fuck your parents but dude that's what i'm saying right you know like it doesn't matter
00:46:34.380
somebody doesn't fucking believe in you and you need that belief to propel you you better do
00:46:38.600
everything you can to get that shit out of your life right you know for me i've got to a point where i
00:46:44.140
enjoy it but you know it wasn't always that way when i was young you know i guess i took that shit to
00:46:48.660
heart more than i do now now like when people like now you know way less people tell me i'm not
00:46:53.140
gonna do shit you know because i've done some shit yeah but in the beginning you know fuck i had people
00:46:58.480
my own family telling me like you know oh you still got that little vitamin shop yeah motherfucker i still
00:47:04.280
got it yeah you know well it goes back to what we were talking about last week where which is the
00:47:08.760
need that some people have for validation you know that the only way that they're going to
00:47:12.460
persevere is if people say no you're doing the right thing you're doing okay and sometimes you need
00:47:16.940
that i mean dude you know there's been times where i you know where i've gotten that it's felt good
00:47:22.860
it's nice to know that you're on the right track yeah it is good you know but if you need it every
00:47:28.760
fucking day just like you need motivation every day exactly exactly like exactly it shouldn't be
00:47:33.820
something that you need to have every fucking day right you know like i get dudes that'll email in
00:47:38.960
and they'll ask hey i did this do you think that's the right thing to do well fuck i don't know what
00:47:44.060
do you think what do you think it's the right thing to do because that's what's important
00:47:47.420
it's not what i think right or what anybody else thinks and and you know what if you choose the
00:47:52.060
wrong thing the worst thing that's going to happen to you is you're going to learn a lesson
00:47:55.160
so i don't know it's just a weird thing i i don't know i think i feel differently but then again i don't
00:48:02.600
know if i feel differently maybe i just feel differently because i'm at a different point than what most
00:48:05.940
people are at you get what i'm saying yeah like maybe because like i can remember like um
00:48:11.880
i can remember talking to my my buddies who are the ceo of europa sports one of the biggest sports
00:48:19.360
distribution companies in the world and when we started with them we were only we don't really do
00:48:25.400
a whole lot of business with them anymore because we buy direct but um when i started with them well
00:48:31.860
we were only fucking 19 years old and you know i didn't know what i was doing so like though when
00:48:39.380
i would talk to those guys you know they would say hey no you're doing it right just keep doing it this
00:48:44.360
way and you know that that helped you know so i don't know man like that's a hard thing for me to
00:48:51.360
answer like do i think it's i think the thing that makes people succeed or not succeed is what the
00:48:56.940
fuck they really want and how bad they want it yeah you know because if you want it bad enough
00:49:01.180
you're going to do it no matter what anybody says around you you know what i'm saying so i don't
00:49:06.300
think it's you know your friends i think the number one thing is is how bad do you really want
00:49:13.180
it then the second thing maybe would be who do you surround yourself with and that's not necessarily
00:49:18.380
for the encouragement but it's for the knowledge you know like my friends who are peers of mine we
00:49:24.200
don't like it's there's no encouragement that goes on we don't go oh fuck yeah andy you can
00:49:28.840
fucking do it hey dan fleischman bro you could do it no we know we could fucking do it but we share
00:49:34.340
ideas and we share dreams and we share goals and it doesn't get laughed at and it doesn't get like
00:49:40.140
you know it's a normal conversation it's not it's not bragging you know i'm not bragging when i talk to
00:49:46.000
dan and say i want to buy a g650 right you know that's 80 million dollars that's not bragging that's
00:49:52.660
me just telling him what i want to do right but if you have those conversations with people that
00:49:56.720
aren't on that level it's you know you're not comfortable because you're bragging or you're
00:50:01.220
trying to show off or you know like when i talk to my car guys and i talk to them about my fucking
00:50:05.500
cars and i say oh yeah i want to get the new fucking lambo perf monte that's coming out or my
00:50:10.200
4gt is getting done this that's bragging to most people but to peers it's not bragging it's just
00:50:16.460
conversation right and i think that's the reason that it's important to surround yourself with
00:50:21.420
successful people because you're going to actually learn more you're going to say oh my business is doing
00:50:26.300
well have you talked to fucking joe over it we ship everything he can do international shipping
00:50:31.020
flat rate for 10 bucks and you share ideas right you see what i'm saying so i think and i found that
00:50:38.280
that's more important than maybe what people think the you know the old saying surround yourself with
00:50:43.920
four wealthy people and you'll be the fifth well it's not necessarily because of mystical forces
00:50:50.760
because these four motherfuckers know how to do it and you don't you know so i think that's why
00:50:57.060
it's more important not necessarily you know so maybe that maybe that is why maybe to answer your
00:51:02.080
question is that um but i don't think that like anybody who is you know has it in them to succeed
00:51:09.120
is going to quit because their four friends are making fun of them right if that's going to stop you
00:51:13.200
you you you don't have it right yeah period that makes sense yeah so i i guess the only other thing i
00:51:19.040
i want to bring up is just and it overlaps for with last week you know with the motivation thing
00:51:24.620
but and that's the that's the issue of one of the ways that you persevere is that you just know
00:51:29.980
that your work will pay off and and this is a repeat of an earlier point but i it just it needs
00:51:35.520
to be driven home is that it's an equation as you said like persevere because your actions will get
00:51:42.280
results you know if you do something once it can be considered lucky if you do something twice
00:51:47.700
it's it's not and most people don't ever get to that doing something twice to where they believe
00:51:55.180
that it's their actions that dictate the result you know they go out they open a fucking lawn care
00:52:01.460
service and they build a decent lawn care service and they say you know oh man like these you know
00:52:08.860
there's fucking 14 year old kids that do this shit and they build a great lawn care service and they go
00:52:13.500
out and they meet customers and they shake hands and they they make a little money they cash flow
00:52:17.500
their business they're making some money to take home and then they when they think of the bigger
00:52:23.480
business to start let's say a paving company they're like fuck i don't know if i can do it brother
00:52:28.380
fucker you just did it but you were cutting grass instead of paving fucking roads it's scaling it's the
00:52:34.940
same fucking thing dude the only thing you know what i do here i sell fucking snow cones it ain't no
00:52:39.940
different i sell fucking snow cones i go out i get the fucking ice i get the flavoring i put the
00:52:45.540
motherfucking shit in a cup and i sell it to people only instead of it being fucking snow cones i go out
00:52:51.060
i fucking source the protein i flavor the protein i put the shit in a fucking bottle and i sell it to
00:52:55.780
people that's it it's a scalable process so like you have to realize that like if you're selling whether
00:53:02.020
you're selling fucking snow cones or you're selling fucking nuclear fucking warheads it's the same
00:53:08.260
fucking thing you go out you find the shit you put it in a package and you sell it to people
00:53:12.020
it isn't that fucking hard people make it hard because their brains are so fucking small and
00:53:18.300
limited in their ability to think that they can't comprehend that what they're doing at 14 years old
00:53:24.040
is the same thing they're going to be doing at 24 or 34 or 44 it's the fucking same i don't know how
00:53:30.540
to say that any more clear than i just said it if you could go out and fucking cut grass and make money
00:53:36.220
doing it when you're 14 fucking years old you can fucking do anything period people just don't
00:53:43.260
fucking think like that they think because they've never witnessed it like i said in the beginning of
00:53:46.920
the episode you know oh i'm fucking so scared scale you you learn the fucking skills you go out you meet
00:53:53.520
customers you shake their hand you say hey nice to meet you i'm fucking joe i'm gonna make your grass
00:53:58.540
look like the fucking kentucky derby and you do it and then you do it with the next business
00:54:04.940
the next business the skills are all the same it's just it just doesn't it blows my mind how
00:54:13.080
afraid people are of trying something that is the exact same thing as what they did you know like
00:54:20.980
can you not see the parallel between cutting grass and then paving roads it takes a little more money
00:54:27.720
you cut grass for long enough to take the money you roll it into paving equipment you fucking start
00:54:32.720
paving the roads you know i'm using this example because i know a motherfucker did this and he makes
00:54:36.840
a lot of fucking money oh you tell me about a lot of money yeah i used to work for him yeah when i was
00:54:41.480
fucking kid is this the guy that has the government contracts yes i had to fucking paint parking lots
00:54:46.920
and then you know what i had to do i had to move the fucking parking lot bumpers and we used to have
00:54:50.740
to go to fucking these parking lots and move these fucking parking lot bumpers all off the lot so we
00:54:56.340
could run the striper back and forth and then we put them all back you want to talk about job it sucks
00:55:01.300
you want to know why i'm successful because i don't want to put down parking blocks that's why
00:55:05.480
i i did shit that was so hard that i didn't want to fucking work that hard yeah so i figured out a
00:55:11.360
way to do it without having to work that hard yeah you know i'm fucking not doing it and i'll do
00:55:16.720
anything to not have to do that yeah you know but most people don't have that experience how many
00:55:22.600
people at 14 years old are fucking moving parking blocks across fucking lot there were 600 fucking pounds
00:55:26.800
you get what i'm saying or pouring fuck or carrying concrete forms i my dad fucking i'm very thankful
00:55:33.720
because my dad made me go out and do this shit even though i hated it me and chris both we did both
00:55:39.280
did the parking lots we both did the concrete chris my business partner and we both did fucking
00:55:43.700
digging fence post holes for jobs the three of the hardest fucking job and i'm not talking about
00:55:48.400
with a fucking auger bit i'm talking about with a motherfucking post hole digger you know like
00:55:53.200
the one you throw in the ground yeah try digging a fucking hundred of those a day for fucking summer
00:55:58.300
dude i worked my dick off just so i could know and my dad made me do that shit so that i knew what i
00:56:05.320
didn't want to do because i don't want to fucking do that you want to do that hey let's go start a
00:56:09.560
fucking post hole digging company fuck that you know yeah absolutely but dude it's all the same shit
00:56:17.240
man it's just people just don't do it because they get stuck in the analyzing mode like i'm gonna
00:56:22.620
you know paralysis by analysis you know oh well what if i do this and this happens and then what
00:56:28.120
if i do this and and then this doesn't happen and what if i do this and this happens and then this
00:56:32.200
doesn't happen and then my parents fucking hate me right what the fuck are you talking about like
00:56:37.360
dude go fucking do it man life is about doing shit you know go out and experience shit find out what
00:56:42.540
works find out what doesn't work try shit fail learn do it again do it better that's what this
00:56:47.720
is about you know there's no way to fucking plan for the future if you've never even been down that
00:56:52.900
road so fucking go you know don't sit there with your hands on your fucking pockets and wonder why
00:56:59.140
you're not anywhere where you want to be it's because you're too pussy to go out and fucking do it
00:57:03.140
that's all it is you have to go do shit that's what life is about it's about doing shit finding out
00:57:10.440
what works finding out what doesn't work and eventually if you're fucking above a 60 fucking
00:57:16.200
iq you're gonna know not to repeat the same shit that doesn't work over and over again
00:57:20.320
and then guess what by process of elimination you start to become successful it's not that hard

2017 i just want to wrap up this little podcast with with this you know the coolest thing for me
00:58:59.120
about what we do here is that we're surrounded with like-minded people we're surrounded with
00:59:04.000
people who aren't afraid to work we're surrounded with people who aren't afraid to take the risks
00:59:08.920
and we're surrounded with people who support each other and i think that's fucking cool because
00:59:12.940
in today's age you know outside of this group you know half the motherfuckers out there are too
00:59:19.000
scared to do anything and 40 of the rest of them are critics that haven't done shit they want to tell
00:59:24.160
you you know why the fuck you can't do what it is you want to do and what's cool about this group is
00:59:29.120
is that you know people are okay with working people are okay with hustling people are okay with
00:59:33.560
doing what they need to do and they're okay with being successful you know they don't boohoo success
00:59:38.820
