00:00:39.720 Why are you awake at night?
00:00:44.400 Why aren't you taking action?
00:00:46.820 Why aren't you doing the things you need to do?
00:00:49.860 Why aren't you making those phone calls, sending those emails
00:00:54.080 Introducing yourself to the people you know you need to meet
00:00:57.480 Why aren't you making that change in your job?
00:01:01.100 Why aren't you doing the things you need to do to succeed?

00:01:09.500 It's fear
00:01:10.300 What are you afraid of guys?
00:01:13.220 Are you afraid that if you step out and be the person who you really wanna be
00:01:17.440 That you're gonna fall on your face and it's gonna be embarrassing?
00:01:28.080 Are you afraid that if you step out and be the person that you really wanna be
00:01:33.560 You're going to end up somewhere that is morally wrong
00:01:37.220 Or somewhere that your friends don't approve of
00:01:40.600 Or your parents don't approve of
00:01:42.060 Or they don't approve of
00:01:44.580 What is it?
00:01:45.940 What are you afraid of?
00:01:47.220 Are you afraid of losing everything?
00:01:51.300 What do you really have to lose?
00:01:54.100 What do you really have?
00:01:55.880 You get an average life
00:01:56.980 You get an average salary
00:01:58.260 Okay
00:01:59.300 You got an average car
00:02:01.260 You got an average house
00:02:03.660 What do you have to lose?
00:02:06.620 Everybody out there
00:02:11.340 That doesn't become who it is they wanna become
00:02:15.320 Doesn't become that because they're scared
00:02:18.020 They're scared of all these things that I talked about
00:02:20.600 They're scared of failing
00:02:21.660 They're scared of getting laughed at
00:02:23.420 They're scared of being embarrassed
00:02:24.920 And let me tell you something right now
00:02:27.240 That shit is all gonna fucking happen
00:02:30.600 And it's all gonna happen
00:02:32.540 Whether you step out and take the action
00:02:35.800 Off of who you wanna be
00:02:37.920 Or not
00:02:39.660 Okay guys
00:02:41.740 Life is hard
00:02:42.800 Life is gonna fucking punch you in the face
00:02:45.200 Alright
00:02:46.020 Being successful
00:02:47.520 And working hard
00:02:49.100 Is hard
00:02:49.980 Failing
00:02:51.220 Is hard
00:02:52.380 Being broke
00:02:53.640 Is hard
00:02:54.500 You get to choose
00:02:56.080 Which hard
00:02:57.380 You want to participate in
00:02:59.540 But you don't get to opt out
00:03:02.060 Of life being hard
00:03:03.540 Okay
00:03:04.320 Just because you choose
00:03:05.640 Not to chase your dreams
00:03:06.900 Doesn't mean
00:03:08.060 That it's going to be easier
00:03:09.540 To not chase them
00:03:10.580 It means you're gonna deal
00:03:11.740 With a different level of heart
00:03:13.200 A different level of fear
00:03:14.540 Okay
00:03:15.520 So what you need to realize
00:03:17.120 Is that your level of fear
00:03:18.780 And what you are afraid of
00:03:20.900 Is really the only thing
00:03:23.680 That you can follow
00:03:24.600 Because if you don't do that
00:03:26.200 You're gonna have all these other problems
00:03:27.940 You're gonna have
00:03:28.540 The problems of not being able
00:03:30.080 To pay your bills
00:03:30.920 You're gonna have the problems
00:03:31.960 Of not being able to feed your family
00:03:33.460 Or not being able to pay
00:03:34.460 For the education you want
00:03:35.600 Or not being able to
00:03:36.800 Live where you want
00:03:37.880 Or do the things you want
00:03:39.020 And guys
00:03:39.820 Like I said
00:03:40.600 And like I say often
00:03:41.880 Life is short
00:03:42.840 We're gonna die
00:03:44.700 So why would you spend your life
00:03:47.400 Doing things
00:03:48.260 That you don't wanna do
00:03:49.300 Because you're afraid
00:03:50.180 If you do them
00:03:51.080 That you might
00:03:52.820 Fuck up
00:03:53.740 Guys you're gonna fuck up
00:03:55.980 Either way
00:03:56.480 And if you really
00:03:58.380 Take the time to think about
00:03:59.480 What you're afraid of
00:04:00.320 You're gonna realize
00:04:01.140 That fear is not only
00:04:03.040 Irrelevant
00:04:05.660 It is a tremendous advantage
00:04:08.080 We talked about
00:04:09.400 Putting your back
00:04:10.280 Against the wall
00:04:11.040 A few weeks ago
00:04:11.920 Fear is the ultimate tool
00:04:14.100 To leverage
00:04:14.800 Pressure on yourself
00:04:16.240 To succeed
00:04:17.080 When you're afraid
00:04:18.600 Of failing
00:04:19.120 When you're afraid
00:04:20.000 Of people laughing at you
00:04:21.080 When you're afraid
00:04:21.880 Of getting punched in the face
00:04:23.800 Or losing everything
00:04:25.280 Guess what happens
00:04:27.180 You do the fucking work
00:04:29.380 To make that shit not happen
00:04:31.560 And if you're afraid enough
00:04:33.540 You're gonna work that much harder
00:04:35.860 Guys there's nobody out there
00:04:37.740 More afraid than me
00:04:38.820 I'm more afraid
00:04:40.480 Than anybody listening to this
00:04:42.020 You know why
00:04:42.760 Because I don't wanna go back
00:04:44.220 To living in a fucking
00:04:45.200 Piss stained
00:04:46.720 Back of a store mattress
00:04:48.820 Sleeping with my head
00:04:50.600 Trying to not be
00:04:51.300 On the piss stain
00:04:52.080 I don't wanna fucking
00:04:53.840 Go back to being broke
00:04:55.080 I don't wanna go back
00:04:56.380 To not making
00:04:57.740 Any money
00:04:58.900 The first three years
00:04:59.840 In business
00:05:00.300 I don't wanna go back
00:05:01.260 To not making more
00:05:02.300 Than $600 a month
00:05:04.360 For the first 10 years
00:05:05.980 I was in business
00:05:06.880 I don't wanna go back
00:05:08.380 To that shit
00:05:09.000 Every day I wake up
00:05:11.100 I'm fucking afraid
00:05:12.220 But you know what
00:05:13.540 When I'm afraid
00:05:14.880 I run real fucking fast
00:05:16.780 And you guys know
00:05:17.760 What I'm talking about
00:05:18.620 Do you run faster
00:05:19.980 When you're trying
00:05:20.940 To beat yourself
00:05:22.180 Or do you run faster
00:05:23.280 When someone's chasing you
00:05:24.900 Fear is a tremendous tool
00:05:27.720 And not only should it be
00:05:29.700 Embraced
00:05:30.900 You have to learn
00:05:32.140 To use it
00:05:32.960 You know
00:05:33.600 So many people
00:05:34.660 Don't do
00:05:35.900 What they need to do
00:05:36.780 Because they're afraid
00:05:37.920 When in reality
00:05:39.280 Being afraid
00:05:41.380 Is the best fucking thing
00:05:42.560 You could ever have
00:05:43.380 For yourself
00:05:43.900 When it comes to
00:05:44.780 Turning that into energy
00:05:46.460 To have drive
00:05:47.340 To have ambition
00:05:48.600 To have progress
00:05:50.240 In your life
00:05:50.880 But you've gotta
00:05:51.540 Take that first step
00:05:53.000 You've gotta make
00:05:54.160 That first call
00:05:55.280 You've gotta send
00:05:56.340 That first email
00:05:57.340 You've gotta shake
00:05:58.680 That first hand
00:05:59.580 You've gotta make
00:06:00.740 That first product
00:06:01.840 You've gotta take
00:06:04.420 That first action
00:06:05.460 And if you don't ever
00:06:07.100 Take that first action
00:06:08.220 Fear will paralyze you
00:06:09.720 To a point
00:06:10.560 Of you becoming nothing
00:06:12.780 Being nothing
00:06:14.420 Standing for nothing
00:06:16.320 And basically being irrelevant
00:06:18.560 Your whole entire life
00:06:19.760 And I can't think of
00:06:21.500 Much worse than that guys
00:06:22.660 I don't want that for you
00:06:23.640 And I know you don't
00:06:24.200 Want that for you
00:06:24.720 That's why you're
00:06:25.160 Listening to this podcast
00:06:26.000 Okay
00:06:27.380 Here's another thing
00:06:28.580 You need to realize
00:06:29.300 About fear
00:06:29.820 A lot of you guys
00:06:30.920 Ask me
00:06:31.580 You email in
00:06:32.460 And you say
00:06:32.820 Andy how do you
00:06:33.600 Get confidence
00:06:34.280 I don't have any confidence
00:06:35.420 You know how you
00:06:36.360 Get fucking confidence
00:06:37.380 By fucking attacking
00:06:38.820 Your fear
00:06:39.460 And overcoming your fear
00:06:41.280 But so many people
00:06:44.240 Avoid doing that
00:06:46.000 That they never
00:06:46.780 Develop confidence
00:06:47.640 They never develop
00:06:49.020 Belief in themselves
00:06:49.960 They never develop
00:06:51.320 The idea that they
00:06:52.500 Can do things
00:06:53.280 Because they did things
00:06:54.520 You have to attack
00:06:57.160 Your fears
00:06:57.840 You have to do
00:06:59.040 The things
00:06:59.580 That you're afraid of
00:07:00.760 Fear is a response
00:07:02.720 Of your brain
00:07:03.660 Trying to trigger you
00:07:05.240 To do the things
00:07:06.080 That you need to do
00:07:07.100 It's not something
00:07:10.140 That's there
00:07:10.700 That is supposed
00:07:11.520 To like
00:07:11.920 You know
00:07:12.500 It's not the boogeyman
00:07:13.620 It's not a fucking ghost
00:07:14.960 It's not poltergeist
00:07:16.300 You know what I'm saying
00:07:17.600 It's not this other
00:07:18.740 Nonsense
00:07:19.780 Real fear
00:07:20.940 Is a trigger to action
00:07:22.740 It's a sign
00:07:24.060 That you need to do something
00:07:25.320 And you need to learn
00:07:26.440 To listen to your fear
00:07:27.560 You need to learn
00:07:28.960 To embrace it
00:07:31.460 Leverage it
00:07:32.400 Listen to it
00:07:33.520 Okay
00:07:34.940 Guys
00:07:35.760 Fear is a great thing
00:07:37.200 There's a big misconception
00:07:38.660 Out there
00:07:39.340 That people
00:07:39.980 Who are successful
00:07:41.320 Are not afraid
00:07:42.320 But I disagree
00:07:44.040 I think people
00:07:44.760 Who are successful
00:07:45.540 Are the most afraid
00:07:46.800 Because they're going
00:07:47.920 To run the hardest
00:07:48.820 They're going to run
00:07:49.580 The fastest
00:07:50.140 And they're going
00:07:52.220 To be the ones
00:07:52.880 Who are going to take
00:07:53.740 Every single action
00:07:55.220 That they have to take
00:07:56.680 To make sure
00:07:58.240 They get where
00:07:59.220 They need to be
00:07:59.860 And at the very least
00:08:01.080 That they don't go back
00:08:02.340 To where they were
00:08:03.480 Fear is a tremendous thing
00:08:05.780 Guys
00:08:06.100 It should be embraced
00:08:07.060 And it should be loved
00:08:07.900 And you guys
00:08:08.600 Should be thankful
00:08:09.320 If you have it
00:08:10.400 I was told a long time ago
00:08:12.900 By a very very successful man
00:08:15.100 A billionaire
00:08:15.640 Don't ever lose your fear
00:08:18.720 I think that's some of the best advice
00:08:21.040 I ever got
00:08:21.660 You know
00:08:22.360 It came at a time
00:08:23.100 Where I just started
00:08:23.820 Making good money
00:08:24.620 I just started making
00:08:25.840 Success in financial area
00:08:28.900 Of my life
00:08:29.520 And I asked him
00:08:31.260 I said
00:08:31.680 I said
00:08:32.660 Jeff
00:08:33.020 I said
00:08:33.420 Man
00:08:33.660 I said
00:08:35.540 Dude
00:08:35.780 You know
00:08:36.100 I'm doing good
00:08:37.120 I'm making good money
00:08:37.940 But man
00:08:38.420 I feel like
00:08:39.460 You know
00:08:40.200 My back's against the wall
00:08:41.400 I feel like I'm scared every day
00:08:42.840 I'm always nervous
00:08:43.660 I'm always
00:08:44.380 I'm always uncomfortable
00:08:45.640 I'm never at ease
00:08:46.800 I can't relax
00:08:47.620 When does that go away?
00:08:49.340 And he looked at me
00:08:50.540 And he goes
00:08:50.920 Hopefully never
00:08:51.840 And at the time
00:08:54.340 I was like
00:08:54.780 Fuck
00:08:55.320 You know
00:08:57.140 Here's a guy
00:08:57.740 Who's a billionaire
00:08:58.520 Telling me
00:08:59.460 That
00:09:00.320 I'm going to have to live
00:09:01.860 In this state of like chaos
00:09:03.320 And I don't think I was
00:09:05.420 Like mature enough
00:09:06.300 At the time
00:09:06.960 To really understand
00:09:08.200 What that meant
00:09:09.160 But I do understand
00:09:10.100 It perfectly now
00:09:11.040 And
00:09:12.000 What it means
00:09:14.460 Is exactly what I'm saying
00:09:15.640 Guys
00:09:16.120 Fear is the ultimate motivator
00:09:18.800 Fear is the ultimate driver
00:09:20.700 Fear is the ultimate
00:09:22.500 Competitive advantage
00:09:24.300 And if you embrace it
00:09:25.800 And learn how to leverage it
00:09:27.380 And learn how to use it
00:09:28.860 It's the most powerful thing
00:09:31.720 That you could possibly have
00:09:33.080 In your arsenal
00:09:33.680 It's a true
00:09:34.440 Fucking weapon
00:09:35.860 But people are so afraid
00:09:39.160 To get within
00:09:39.880 Arm's reach
00:09:40.600 Of fear
00:09:41.660 That they avoid it
00:09:43.460 At all costs
00:09:44.200 And guys
00:09:44.560 So much good
00:09:45.600 Comes from being afraid
00:09:46.900 So much good
00:09:48.780 You don't ever
00:09:51.520 Get over the fear
00:09:52.360 If you want to be
00:09:54.140 Successful in life
00:09:55.200 You should live in fear
00:09:56.920 Every fucking day
00:09:58.240 And that fear
00:09:59.000 Should drive you
00:10:00.720 To take action
00:10:01.400 It should make you run
00:10:03.080 Fast
00:10:04.120 Guys
00:10:06.380 We all have fear
00:10:07.360 You know
00:10:08.640 And there's a difference
00:10:10.020 Between
00:10:10.620 Like fear of dying
00:10:13.160 Cause I'm sick
00:10:14.080 Or fear of
00:10:15.160 You know
00:10:16.120 Getting hit by a car
00:10:18.060 Crossing the street

00:10:23.600 Bad things from happening to us
00:10:24.940 And the best thing
00:10:26.500 We can do
00:10:27.080 To get those things
00:10:28.740 Out of our mind
00:10:29.380 Is to be positive
00:10:30.340 And to move forward
00:10:31.340 And to be productive
00:10:32.280 In our daily actions
00:10:33.560 And win the day
00:10:35.060 Stack the wins
00:10:36.420 Make a winning week
