I want to be a motherfucking hustler, you better ask somebody
00:00:03.760
Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host and I am the
00:00:17.420
motherfucking CEO. Guys, if this is your first time listening, the motherfucking CEO of your life
00:00:24.320
is supposed to be you. So many people go through life thinking other people are in control or
00:00:32.180
waiting for opportunities to happen or wishing things would happen to them that just don't.
00:00:38.720
And what this podcast is about is A, entrepreneurship and B, personal development
00:00:44.980
around the principles of entrepreneurship that can apply to anybody within an organization. So you
00:00:50.620
don't have to own a company. You don't have to be an actual CEO, but at the end of the day,
00:00:57.900
you are the CEO of you. And I hope that you'll learn to be a motherfucking CEO with some swagger,
00:01:05.520
some attitude, some confidence and go through life kicking ass. And that is the purpose of this
00:01:11.500
podcast. Pulling the old switcheroo on you guys today. And instead of Thursday thunder,
00:01:17.260
we're going to give you a Friday fire. And why? No, it's not because I'm a marketing genius and I
00:01:23.000
want to come up with Friday fire. It's because I got too fucking busy. This isn't my full-time job.
00:01:27.920
I actually run companies as most of you know, uh, we got, we got wound up, we got busy. One thing led
00:01:34.360
to another and it just didn't happen. So we're going to bring you some Friday fire. And I think you're
00:01:38.660
going to enjoy what we're going to talk about today. I want to talk about competition. Okay.
00:01:44.680
Everything you do, whether you admit it or not is competition. So many people go through life
00:01:54.260
trying to hide from the fact that they are in a competition. I saw an article on Facebook yesterday
00:02:03.340
about people petitioning to have the ball removed from soccer with a group of 12 year old kids because
00:02:13.940
they didn't want their kids to feel as if they had to compete against the other kids. What the fuck?
00:02:24.940
The world is a competitive place. The world is a tough place. The world is a place that if you don't
00:02:32.480
accept the fact that you are in a competition, you will get fucking destroyed. And by destroyed,
00:02:39.620
I mean stomped on kicked beat curb stomped to a point where you'll be broke, desolate, miserable,
00:02:48.940
and wondering what the fuck happened to you. And we don't want that for you. We want you to be a
00:02:55.780
fucking champion. We want you to be a winner. We want you to go through every single day kicking ass
00:03:03.060
for yourself and kicking ass for everybody around you, including your family and the people depend
00:03:08.640
on you. It is your obligation to kick ass. And so many people don't understand that concept because
00:03:17.380
they want everything to be fair. They want everybody to get a trophy. They want everybody
00:03:23.200
to feel like a winner. But is that how the world was designed to work? Is everybody supposed to win?
00:03:29.860
No. There's winners and there's fucking losers. Okay? So that's the first step to understanding
00:03:37.720
what this world is about. If you want proof, let's take a look at nature. Is nature a competition?
00:03:45.160
Fuck yeah, it is. Do you think nature gives you an opportunity to opt out of competing because you
00:03:51.760
don't feel like it? No. Do you think nature gives a shit if everyone thinks they deserve to win?
00:03:57.900
If every raccoon deserves to live? If every rodent deserves to eat a fucking nice meal? No. It's kill
00:04:05.560
or be fucking killed. And the success food chain is no different. The strong, the skilled, the dedicated,
00:04:14.620
they thrive. The passive others that don't want to admit they're in a competition because they don't
00:04:19.820
want to compete with their neighbors. They don't. And you may think you're choosing not to compete,
00:04:27.280
but you can't opt out. It's just like nature. If you're a mouse and you decide, hey, you know,
00:04:34.240
I'm not going to compete in the nature's food chain and you're hanging out. Do you think you're any less
00:04:38.320
likely to get fucking eaten? No. And success in life is no different. You can opt out all you want in your
00:04:45.460
own head, but prepare for a fucking ass beating because that's what you're going to get. And you
00:04:49.540
could cry. You can whine. You can pout and you can bitch about how unfair that is, but it's irrelevant.
00:04:57.060
You are a part of the proverbial food chain of success, whether you like it or not. And the
00:05:04.200
biggest difference in success food chain, as opposed to the nature food chain, is that you have a choice
00:05:11.100
of what you're going to be and where you're going to fall in that food chain. In nature,
00:05:16.200
you're either born a grizzly bear or you're born a rodent. And that's what you have to be. And you
00:05:21.920
got to fucking deal with it. But in the success food chain of life, you could be born a rodent,
00:05:28.180
but you could become a grizzly bear over time. And it does take time, but you have the fucking choice
00:05:35.600
to be whatever you want to be. You could choose to be the grizzly bear. You could choose to have
00:05:41.820
discipline. You could choose to invest in personal development. You could choose how to spend your
00:05:47.560
nights and weekends. You could choose who you surround yourself with. You could choose to go
00:05:52.160
the extra mile for others. You could choose to persevere. You could choose to take pride in every
00:05:57.540
fucking detail. Okay. You could choose to bring value to everything and everyone you come in contact
00:06:03.820
with. You could choose to be enthusiastic. You could choose to take initiative and do what needs
00:06:09.920
to be done. You could choose to accept responsibility for yourself, your situation, and every fucking
00:06:15.940
situation around you. You could choose to be a lifetime student of success. You could choose to execute
00:06:23.480
day in and day out. You could choose to not cut corners. You could choose to do the fucking work.
00:06:32.200
And you could choose success. Yes, my friends, you have a choice. But don't be mistaken. You are in a
00:06:42.740
competition whether you ask to be in it or not. And ignoring, denying, refusing to acknowledge that fact
00:06:49.940
is the same as choosing to be a fucking rodent. Your actions make that choice for you every single day.
00:06:58.740
So what's it gonna be? You gonna man the fuck up? You gonna do what needs to be done? You gonna take
00:07:05.400
responsibility? Are you gonna make the choice to be a fucking grizzly bear? Are you gonna go down the
00:07:12.280
stream of life with no fucking paddles and end up being a fucking rodent and pointing your finger at
00:07:17.140
everybody else like a motherfucking pussy would? Because those are your two fucking choices and those are
00:07:24.540
This is for the G's and this is for the hustler. This is for the hustlers, not back to the G's.
