00:00:00.320 I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.800 Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.040 What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:19.880 Today is going to be very fucking short. Very short.
00:00:26.660 So, all I want to do is hop on here real quick and remind you guys, because I see this everywhere I go, all right?
00:00:35.820 And I see this message pumped out on social. I see this message verbalized by people all the time.
00:00:43.220 And it is literally the anthem of underachievers, okay? And it goes something like this.
00:00:50.500 You know, I don't need all that material stuff, because I'm humble.
00:00:53.760 You know, I used to chase material things, but now I realize that spirituality and well-being is more important, and that's the real prize.
00:01:04.400 And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:01:06.600 Let me remind you something and enlighten you to a point that you may not have considered because society is so biased on this point.
00:01:17.720 And this point is this. You do not have to be poor to be a good person.
00:01:26.320 It is not either or, okay?
00:01:29.760 You do not have to be poor to enjoy the simple things.
00:01:35.280 It is not either or, all right?
00:01:37.980 And lots of people out there, especially nowadays with the spiritual gangsters out there trying to tell you how to live and what to think and how to feel and what your priorities should be and all this shit. 1.00
00:01:50.420 I would have you consider one thing.
00:01:54.380 People go the either or route whenever they realize that they can't get both.
00:02:01.360 The truth is, both of those things are important.
00:02:07.320 Enjoying the simple things is important.
00:02:10.080 Having money is important.
00:02:11.940 If you don't think having money is important at your age right now when you're under 30 years old and you're sitting there saying,
00:02:18.860 Oh, well, you know, I'm just going to enjoy the simple things in life.
00:02:24.440 Well, you don't have a fucking choice now because that's all there is left.
00:02:29.560 There's no shame in having both.
00:02:33.040 It doesn't make you a bad person to be wealthy.
00:02:36.020 It doesn't make you.
00:02:36.900 In fact, you could do a lot more good shit when you have the resources to do it.
00:02:42.560 Nobody talks about that.
00:02:44.540 Nobody talks about how wealthy people give to these organizations and these charities and these churches and basically drive the entire fucking boat.
00:02:56.300 Okay?
00:02:57.440 Money is a great thing.
00:02:59.560 And when you sit there and try to put it in a terms of either or.
00:03:04.040 I'm either a good person or I'm wealthy.
00:03:06.640 Or I'm either a person who enjoys the simple things or I'm wealthy.
00:03:13.180 You're handicapping yourself on both scenarios.
00:03:16.720 Because what you're telling yourself is it's a bad thing to make money.
00:03:21.020 That makes me less moral.
00:03:22.300 And that's just not the fucking truth.
00:03:26.100 Okay?
00:03:27.600 The goal is to have both.
00:03:29.420 And if you're under 30 years old and you're thinking, oh, well, one day maybe I'll just switch my mindset.
00:03:36.580 Like, I'm not saying you're verbalizing this, but if you're just thinking it.
00:03:39.960 One day I might change my mindset and I'll get some money.
00:03:43.860 Dude, money takes a while to materialize.
00:03:46.460 If you even think that you're going to want some money in your life, which you are going to whether you want to admit it or not, you've got to start now.
00:03:54.440 You've got to start building for that future family now.
00:03:58.120 You've got to start building for that future life that you want to live now.
00:04:02.720 Okay?
00:04:03.160 It's all good and it's all fun and it's all cool to pretend like you're some sort of moral fucking high horse authority and super enlightened and spiritual.
00:04:13.340 But it's only cool until you can't pay your fucking bills.
00:04:17.780 All right?
00:04:18.220 So, let's cut the shit.
00:04:20.640 You can be both.
00:04:22.020 You can be a great person and you can make a lot of money.
00:04:25.640 And in fact, I would argue that if you're not pursuing making a lot of money, you're actually dishonoring your creator by living less than your potential could be.
00:04:38.100 So, quit with the fucking hiding under the spiritual umbrella of quote-unquote goodness as a reason as to why you're not succeeding.
00:04:50.240 Because it's complete bullshit.
00:04:52.120 And while your friends might think that it's okay and your people that you're around and your family and your little group on social media might think that it's okay,
00:05:00.980 the truth is it's not okay because you know and I know that you are not doing what needs to be done.
00:05:09.300 And instead of gritting it out, gutting it out, working it out, and persevering to make yourself the best that you possibly could be,
00:05:18.560 you're instead saying, you know what?
00:05:21.360 I don't want to work that hard.
00:05:22.960 So, I'm just going to stand on this mountain over here, which is the moral high horse mountain because it's the popular thing to do.
00:05:29.360 And I'm going to tell you guys right now, I've been doing this shit for a long time.
00:05:33.660 I've seen a lot of motherfuckers do this and you know what they're doing? 1.00
00:05:36.440 They're cooking fucking french fries somewhere and they hate their lives.
00:05:39.280 That's the truth.
00:05:40.780 So, you can ride this fucking popularity message all you want with all the little gurus out there talking about how it's important to be a good person and you don't need money.
00:05:51.460 Or you could realize that you can be a good person with money or without money.
00:05:56.520 You can enjoy simple things with money, without money, and anybody who says any fucking different is full of shit.
00:06:02.460 They probably couldn't cut it themselves.
00:06:04.600 That's the fucking truth when it comes to this little paradox that we have going on.
00:06:10.360 And I would further, like I said a minute ago, consider this.
00:06:14.800 Let's consider that you had a son.
00:06:17.020 Let's consider that you had a daughter.
00:06:18.560 And let's consider the fact that you knew that they were capable of X but they live X minus whatever that is because, and then they go around and preach about how good of a person they are when in reality they're just living far below their potential.
00:06:34.760 Are you going to be proud of them or are you going to see them for what they are?
00:06:37.480 Because that's what God sees when he looks at you.
00:06:39.660 He sees someone who is taking the gifts that he gave you and using them to less than their potential and that's dishonorable.
00:06:50.520 And if you can't understand that and you're sitting there raising that moral flag about how great of a person you are and you're underachieving, you're full of shit.
00:06:59.600 That's the reality.
00:07:00.840 That's the truth.
00:07:01.800 If you don't like it, I don't give a fuck.
00:07:03.720 If you don't like it, I don't like it.
