00:02:02.580
january and i wanted to put myself out there in this video that we made in january and be the leader of
00:02:10.360
this movement of actually doing what it takes and a lot of people um have noticed you know i do snaps
00:02:16.680
i do posts and people are like man you've lost a lot of weight that's so cool blah blah blah
00:02:21.280
congratulations and i appreciate the support i really do but in reality i'm not like i'm not
00:02:27.120
surprised that i've gotten the results i've gotten you know why because i've been fucking doing the work
00:02:33.560
and i want to talk today about the way people commit and the way most people um commit when it
00:02:42.160
comes to their goals you know most people truly don't understand what real commitment means okay
00:02:50.360
they like to stick their toe in the pool and feel what it's going to feel like and then uh you know
00:02:56.700
kind of decide if maybe this is for them or not or if they like it or if uh you know they're going to
00:03:02.600
feel comfortable doing it look anything worthwhile is going to be uncomfortable you're not going to
00:03:08.360
fucking like it okay especially when you start you know when you start you're trying to um change
00:03:16.780
things that are ingrained in your mind in your heart as habits and as you do that that's going to be
00:03:23.960
uncomfortable all right you are going to have to rework the way that you think you're going to have to
00:03:29.180
rework the way that you act and you are going to have to force yourself to go through those actions
00:03:35.700
in order for it to make the result that you want happen and far too many people you know i get emails
00:03:44.500
all the time saying andy i'm thinking about doing this or andy i'm thinking about doing that or andy i
00:03:50.140
want to know what this is like or andy i'm thinking about you know maybe trying to do my fitness or start
00:03:54.660
a business or this or that or that guys quit fucking thinking about it okay that's not the
00:04:00.720
level of commitment that it's going to take all right when you're standing at the bottom of a
00:04:04.460
gigantic mountain and you're looking at it and you're saying wow i don't know if i can do this
00:04:11.280
okay i don't know if i want to do this i don't know if i can do that because it's so huge
00:04:16.180
that's normal thinking people have their doubts about it but the reality of life is that you're never
00:04:21.940
going to get to the top of that mountain unless you start putting one fucking foot down in front
00:04:25.980
of the other okay and that's what it comes down to so you could think about things all you want
00:04:31.100
you could think about how nice it would be or how cool it would be or what it would be like to do this
00:04:37.640
but at the end of the day if you don't put that foot down one in front of the other day after day
00:04:43.140
after day after day you're never going to get there okay so when you say oh i'm thinking about
00:04:48.980
doing this or i'm thinking about doing that what do i hear i also i hear that you're also thinking
00:04:54.740
about not doing it i also hear that you're thinking about maybe doing it a different way
00:04:59.340
or i hear that maybe you're looking for an easier way to go about it and and guys that is a recipe
00:05:05.480
for you to never ever ever achieve whatever it is that you're trying to do this is why people who
00:05:11.660
are overweight yo-yo diet this is why people never find success in their business this is why people
00:05:18.060
never move ahead in their lives because they are always looking for the quickest easiest way
00:05:23.940
that allows them to get the result without the fucking work and guys there just is no way
00:05:29.780
not in anything that's worthwhile okay and you guys are results oriented people or you wouldn't
00:05:36.880
be listening to this podcast all right so when you commit to something you can't say hey you know
00:05:44.660
i'm thinking about doing this and i'm gonna try this out you just gotta say hey i'm gonna do this
00:05:49.780
no matter what the fuck it takes no matter how long it takes no matter how much effort i have to put in
00:05:55.700
no matter how much pain i have to go through no matter what anybody says no matter what my parents say
00:06:00.940
no matter what my friends say no matter what obstacles i have to overcome i am going to do this
00:06:06.580
and that is what commitment is commitment is not anything less than that anything less than that
00:06:11.660
you get zero results zero okay so you either commit or don't fucking do it and don't talk about it
00:06:19.700
because everybody else gets tired of hearing about it and that's the bottom line all right
00:06:25.120
successful people know how to commit successful people know how to say hey i'm gonna do this
00:06:32.100
and i don't give a fuck what it takes to get it done
00:06:35.080
an unsuccessful say i'm thinking about doing this or one day i'll do this or someday i'll do this
00:06:42.440
or when things change i'll do this or you know one day it'll be nice to have this what kind of person
00:06:48.520
are you are you the kind of person that gets shit done no matter what it takes are you the kind of
00:06:54.040
person that talks about shit because that's what we're talking about here all right a lot of people
00:06:59.600
like to think they're committed they like to think man i'm committed to one day doing this
00:07:03.500
no you're not you're committed to staying the fucking same all right because you don't understand
00:07:09.260
what commitment really means so when people say to me andy you've lost 50 pounds i'm not surprised
00:07:15.200
i'm not i'm not surprised because i'm doing the fucking work okay and if you do the work you'll get
00:07:21.140
the results too whether it be in your fitness or your business or uh your family or whatever your goal
00:07:27.140
might be or your sport okay success like we've said a million times on this podcast is not magic
00:07:34.800
it is an equation of math okay and you guys have to understand that anytime you think of it any
00:07:43.620
other way luck magic magic pixie dust uh circumstance any of these other things that you tell yourself
00:07:53.080
you that is you justifying to yourself you not willing to do the fucking work okay so let's clear
00:08:01.020
something up to bottom line this whole conversation you're either committed or you aren't you're either
00:08:07.160
willing to do everything it takes whatever that might be or you aren't you either are willing to to go
00:08:13.840
through hell and high water and fire and fucking brimstone to get to your goals or you aren't and that's
00:08:21.320
what's the difference between people who do shit and people who talk shit
