What's up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am
00:00:14.420
the motherfucking CEO. Guys, welcome. Thursday Thunder. I'm going to keep it short, I'm going
00:00:19.680
to keep it sweet, I'm going to punch you right in the fucking dick. That's what we're going
00:00:22.840
to do today, alright? Guys, I heard this awesome story the other day, and it reminded me of
00:00:28.920
this huge, huge point that I need to hit you with, alright? And the point of it is, you
00:00:35.220
need to take a piss on your plan B. So many of you guys come out, and you have this big
00:00:41.220
grand plan, and you want to do all these things, but then you have this backup plan. I'm telling
00:00:45.960
you today, that needs to stop, and I'm going to tell you why. I heard this great story the
00:00:50.900
other day about the Spanish explorer Cortez. Basically, he wanted to fight the Aztecs for
00:00:56.960
their treasure. And guys, you know, all you history buffs out there, this isn't an argument
00:01:02.020
about who the treasure rightfully belonged to. I don't really give a shit. Here's the
00:01:06.500
point. The Aztecs have been around for more than 600 years. They were a powerful empire,
00:01:12.160
okay? Cortez and his men were outnumbered to a huge margin, alright? And he caught wind of
00:01:18.020
the fact that some of his men were scared, and they were unconvinced that they were going
00:01:21.540
to succeed. They were worried that they were going to get their asses kicked, they were going
00:01:25.140
to get slaughtered, and so some of them started putting together a coup to sail the ships back
00:01:30.380
to Spain. Well, guess what happened? Cortez ended up hearing about this, and did something
00:01:36.040
that everybody, all his men, and even to this point in history, people think was fucking
00:01:41.240
crazy. This motherfucker went to his own ships, and he set them on fire, burned them
00:01:46.580
into ashes, and sunk them to the bottom of the ocean. What the fuck would you do if you
00:01:51.820
were his guys, okay? You have this crazy motherfucker burning your only way home. His men couldn't
00:01:58.060
believe it. They asked him, how the hell are we going to get back home? And Cortez pointed
00:02:02.300
the directions of the Aztecs and said, if we're going home, we're going home in their motherfucking
00:02:07.200
ships. See, guys, for Cortez, the way forward was clear. It was all or nothing. He was committed
00:02:14.600
a hundred percent. Failure was not an option. It was conquer or fucking die, and that's what
00:02:20.860
he did, and that's why he burned the motherfucking ships. Guys, a lot of you have hopes and dreams.
00:02:26.200
You have plans to build an empire. You want to change the world. You want to die smiling
00:02:30.380
and feeling good about what you've accomplished, and then this thought comes in your head, but
00:02:34.800
what if it doesn't work out? There's always plan B, and you pat your back pocket to make sure
00:02:40.140
plan B is there, all safe and sound, like a warm fuzzy blanket, just in case plan A fails,
00:02:46.400
and here's the fucking thing, guys. You need to take plan B out of your fucking pocket. You need
00:02:51.280
to unzip your pants and take a big old warm steaming piss on it, pick it up, douse it with
00:02:57.000
gasoline, throw it in the fucking dumpster, and start a fire, because that is where plan B belongs,
00:03:03.580
and that is where plan B takes you if you don't fucking understand that there is no such thing
00:03:08.760
as a plan B. You will never succeed with the I've still got a plan B mentality, okay? It has to be,
00:03:16.300
this is what I've decided to do 100%, there is no other options, burn the fucking shit,
00:03:22.140
conquer, or fucking die, okay? I know right away when I talk to somebody whether or not they're
00:03:28.620
going to be successful, because I ask them right away, what are you going to do if this doesn't work,
00:03:33.780
and if they've got a legitimate answer, you ain't going to fucking make it, all right? Guys tell me
00:03:38.780
shit like this, oh, I'm going to start this business, and you know, if it doesn't work out,
00:03:43.200
I'm going to go, and I guess I'll cut grass. You know what? Why don't you skip the 10 years that
00:03:47.660
you're going to figure out that business isn't for you, and just go cut grass right now, because
00:03:52.060
that's what's going to fucking happen to you with the plan B mentality. I don't give a fuck what the
00:03:56.340
motivational gurus tell you. I don't care what fucking the success gurus tell you. I don't care what
00:04:01.520
fucking Tony Robbins tells you. I don't care what your fucking mom tells you. I'm fucking
00:04:04.600
telling you right now. It's all in or all the fuck out, period.
00:04:08.520
Okay, shut up. Uh-huh. Okay, what's up? Shut up. Uh-huh. Okay, what's up? Shut up. Uh-huh. Okay, what's up? Shut up. Uh-huh. Okay, what's up? Shut up. Uh-huh. Okay, what's up? Right on my brand new 99.
