I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.940
Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.520
What is up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host. I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:18.680
You've heard this 4,000 million fucking times, so I'm just going to be real quick.
00:00:21.840
Today is Thursday Thunder, and I'm going to get into it right now.
00:00:26.260
That was weird. I kind of like it, though. Something different.
00:00:30.000
Yeah, it's impressive. It's impressive. Guys, what is up?
00:00:33.600
Look, like I said when I was being the Micro Machine Man a second ago,
00:00:38.900
today is Thursday Thunder, and I do have something to talk to you about.
00:00:42.260
Actually, it's a concept. It's a rule that you should live by all the time.
00:00:50.940
Before I do, a lot of you guys might be here for the first time,
00:00:57.820
Believe it or not, even though we've been the number one business podcast
00:01:02.840
pretty much for the last, I don't know, four or five years consistently,
00:01:08.340
people still don't understand what MFCEO means, so let me lay it out.
00:01:18.260
One of you guys can let me know, but I just like the first part, okay?
00:01:21.320
The truth is, guys, this is a business, personal development, sometimes humorous podcast
00:01:30.400
where we talk about all the things that you need to do to really succeed in life,
00:01:35.820
not the shit that you're going to hear from people in school or online
00:01:41.160
who are trying to make a living selling you information about being successful.
00:01:46.020
I've actually built a few companies, and I'm really proud of that.
00:01:51.100
Some very successful, quote-unquote, companies that I've spent the last 20 years of my life
00:02:00.420
basically living, breathing, eating, sleeping, and shitting this entire business world.
00:02:06.200
And I'm one of the few guys out there who has built a company
00:02:09.360
and been successful pre-social media and post-social media.
00:02:16.020
Now, guys, I'll be the first one to tell you I'm not perfect.
00:02:19.680
But the things I do know and the things I share, I know very fucking well, all right?
00:02:24.680
And today is one of those days that I'm going to share something that will change your life,
00:02:48.580
It means I appreciate you a lot, which is why I don't run ads,
00:02:56.400
And I could be making an extra seven figures just running ads based on our podcast ranking,
00:03:00.320
but I don't because I don't want to clutter up all the bullshit like everybody else does.
00:03:26.400
If you enjoy the podcast, if you get value, which today you will for sure,
00:03:44.580
You know, one person who's like-minded, who's trying to kick ass, who's trying to dominate,
00:03:48.960
and who doesn't necessarily know where to get the right info from.
00:03:53.560
You know, when that conversation comes up, you know, I'm grinding, I'm trying to work,
00:03:56.960
I'm trying to do business, trying to be more successful.
00:04:09.800
And so if you could do that, I would really greatly appreciate it.
00:04:17.740
It's not like, listen to 300 episodes, refer one friend.
00:04:28.840
Especially because the information is going to make you money.
00:04:47.220
I don't even know why I'm saying have you guys.
00:04:49.140
But you know that one person, guys, that you know in your life?
00:04:52.980
The guy or the girl who is constantly talking about what they used to be.
00:04:58.800
The dude who's out of shape and whose life is a complete shit show.
00:05:03.500
And he's talking about how he threw the touchdown pass to win the high school game.
00:05:08.300
The chick who is an assistant manager at some rundown department store at the mall.
00:05:14.780
She spends all her free time keeping up with the Kardashians, quote unquote.
00:05:19.740
And she always likes to remind people that she was the homecoming queen.
00:05:29.360
The car sales guy who displays the sales award that he got in 1978.
00:05:34.220
The lady who tells everybody she got the district teacher of the year in 2004.
00:05:42.000
The actor who won the Academy Award in the first movie they ever made and hasn't done shit since that.
00:05:48.360
You know those kind of people because that's most people.
00:06:12.400
To be completely honest, you guys are lucky that you haven't seen us beat the shit out of each other.
00:06:23.960
And if we rip on you, we make fun of you, we like you.
00:06:29.620
But I want to tell you a couple things about my brother.
00:06:33.040
Because while I do make fun of him a lot, there's some things that I think you need to know.
00:06:37.820
And I think it sets an amazing example for what you should be doing as well.
00:06:43.180
And some things that you don't know about him because he will not talk about them.
00:07:01.400
But I don't think you ever understand how good he really was.
00:07:05.580
Every single sport that he ever played, he fucking dominated everyone.
00:07:14.440
He was the starter on his baseball team in college.
00:07:20.620
In fact, he was an All-American baseball player in college.
00:07:27.580
He would have for sure been a Major League Baseball player if he hadn't have broken his leg in a game.
00:07:34.940
And if you don't believe me, go to YouTube, type in Sal Fursella home plate collision and watch the video.
00:07:41.740
And I think you'll understand why he had to stop playing.
00:07:47.480
He was the number one salesperson at Johnson & Johnson Ethicon in the world.
00:08:04.900
It wouldn't have mattered if it happened months ago.
00:08:07.240
It wouldn't have mattered if it happened weeks ago.
00:08:10.000
It wouldn't have mattered if it happened yesterday.
00:08:11.960
Because truly successful people know and understand there's a statue of limitations on talking about the glory days.
00:08:32.120
You can talk about what success you have today.
00:08:40.380
Average people like to talk about what they did in 1980 fucking 3.
00:08:45.720
Successful people don't talk about what happened in 1980 fucking 3 or even yesterday.
00:08:52.040
In fact, most successful people have a hard time even remembering the accomplishments that they made in the past.
00:09:00.420
They think of success in terms of present tense.
00:09:20.380
Average people use past success to feel good about themselves so they can let up on the gas and half-ass their way through the rest of their life.
00:09:36.040
Yes, it does help if you have a history of winning.
00:09:39.540
It does help if you have a history of dominating.
00:09:42.260
It gives you the confidence that you'll be able to do it again and again and again.
00:09:47.480
It gives you the confidence and the belief that you're capable of anything.
00:09:52.080
But the only thing successful people really use from the past is momentum.
00:09:58.700
They've strung together a series of victories and they are going to keep that streak going no matter what.
00:10:07.740
Because as long as you focus on succeeding now, you're going to be able to keep that momentum,
00:10:13.020
which is going to continue to push you further down the path that you're trying to go today.
00:10:18.260
And like I said, guys, that's what truly successful people do.
00:10:23.460
That's how they think and that's how they operate.
00:10:25.860
They put the focus on today that defines success in the present tense.
00:10:30.280
They have 24 hours to beat their chest and say, yeah, I'm fucking great.
00:10:35.300
But after that, dude, they don't talk about it.
00:10:37.440
They aren't going to rest easy because of their past successes, because they were in Forbes one time,
00:10:42.940
or they made $1 million, or they made $100,000 last year.
00:10:49.980
Oh, and by the way, there's another benefit to this mindset.
00:10:59.620
Suppose you made a wreck of the large portion of your life that has happened up until this point.
00:11:13.240
Who you were yesterday, who you were the last 30 years or 20 years or 10 years or 40 years or 80 years
00:11:32.340
Both are irrelevant other than the case of what momentum they create.
00:11:37.820
Now, if you have lost for the last 30, 40, 70 years, you're going to have to switch the momentum,
00:11:44.300
which is why I created the 75 Hard program, believe it or not.
00:11:50.200
A lot of you guys keep saying, oh, it's fitness.
00:11:56.360
This is about changing from who you were to who you want to be in 75 fucking days.
00:12:02.800
And if you want to learn more about that, you can go listen to the podcast.
00:12:15.000
But tomorrow, you've got to earn it all over again.
00:12:19.380
And when you adopt the 24-hour bragging rule, okay, and a lot of you guys sitting there right now,
00:12:37.260
I like to rub it in people's face a little bit.
00:12:40.140
Maybe that's not your style, but I can tell you this.
00:12:42.500
I used to have the style that you have, and it wasn't as fun as the style of rubbing it in people's face for 24 fucking hours.
00:12:50.500
Everybody else is going to say, oh, do it for yourself and blah, blah, blah.
00:12:58.060
Especially the motherfuckers that used to make fun of me and pick on me and trash me and this and that.
00:13:06.260
I'm happy to be both because I'm having a great fucking time, all right?
00:13:11.460
Stop hanging your hat on the fucking high school football game, on the homecoming queen, on that hundred pounds you lost five years ago but then gained it all back.
00:13:39.700
But I don't want to see you posting about it every fucking throwback Thursday for the next seven fucking years.
00:13:46.020
If you do that shit, I just block you for being a loser, okay?
00:13:54.980
And the only way you can do that is by letting go of who you were and becoming who the fuck you were meant to be.
