Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host and
00:00:17.240
I am the motherfucking CEO. Guys, today is Friday fire. If you know what that is, you
00:00:23.320
know what that fucking is. If you don't, you're about to find out. I want to talk about something
00:00:28.600
today that has been on my nerves. All right. We have all these people out there reading
00:00:35.800
all the success that's out there, all the memes, posting all the successful statuses.
00:00:42.340
And you know what? Nothing ever fucking changes. We see people who preach and who post and who
00:00:49.880
claim to be about about it. But when you go look at their life, it's just the same old
00:00:58.120
thing. It's the same old Steve, Steve, the average motherfucker and Steve, the average
00:01:04.220
motherfucker wants more. He, he reads all the things. He learns all of the skills he claims
00:01:10.240
to do all the things he's taught, but, but the magic just isn't happening for Steve, the
00:01:15.680
average motherfucker. And let me tell you why. Because there's a certain set of things that
00:01:22.300
I call the intangibles of success that you have to have. Now, can you be successful without
00:01:31.280
them? Maybe. Can you be successful with them? Probably. All right. And I want to talk about
00:01:41.300
these intangibles, right? Intensity, fire, tenacity, hunger, the will to be the best, the will
00:01:55.200
to fucking win. Those are the intangibles. Those are the qualities that you just cannot teach
00:02:04.140
someone. They are the it factors. They're the alpha. They're the omega. They're the things
00:02:10.440
you either have deep down in your heart or you don't. And you can read as many motivational
00:02:15.520
posts as you want. You can think all the warm, fuzzy law of attraction thoughts that you
00:02:20.380
want. You can have the perfect business plan with the perfect mentor, with the biggest opportunity
00:02:26.000
in the history of fucking earth right in front of your face. But if you don't have those
00:02:32.460
qualities in your heart and use them on a daily basis to take action on every possibility to
00:02:40.640
succeed, you're never going to make it. Being great is being successful in all areas of your
00:02:49.020
life. And guess what, guys? It isn't cheap. And it isn't fucking easy either. Being great
00:02:54.460
is a long, hard, lonely, tedious, repetitive road. Which is, of course, why most people end
00:03:03.500
up living a life they regret. They're scared of the journey. They're scared of the process.
00:03:09.560
They're scared of what they have to do. And in the end, it's just way easier to be like everybody
00:03:16.320
else. Why don't you hear this among the entrepreneur gurus or the sports gurus out there?
00:03:24.460
Because it's easier to powder and pat the asses of all the delicate flowers of society
00:03:30.140
in order to become popular than it is to tell them the reality of success. And the reality
00:03:35.740
of success is this. It's not for everybody. 1% of every 100 people that you know will build
00:03:45.480
the life that they want. Will you be in that 1% who gives everything they can, who dedicates
00:03:52.720
every hour of every day of every week of every month to build a legacy? That's the question.
00:04:03.040
And guess what, guys? You could say all the shit you want. You could post all the shit
00:04:07.940
you want. You can claim to be about it all you want. But at the end of the day, your actions
00:04:14.480
are going to answer that question. It's easy to tell yourself you have what it takes in
00:04:21.380
life. It's easy to tell yourself you're going to be great. It's easy to tell yourself that
00:04:26.860
you're doing whatever the fuck it takes. But are you really? Can you look yourself dead
00:04:34.860
in the eye when nobody's around with the only person staring back at you as yourself and
00:04:40.880
answer that question honestly? Are you doing everything you can? Because that's what success
00:04:47.900
is about. That's the truth. That's the way it is. That's how you build a legendary life.
00:04:55.500
It's not about what you say. It's always about what you do. And you guys can debate this.
00:05:02.620
You can argue this. You can post about this. You can question this. But it doesn't matter
00:05:08.620
because your actions are always going to tell the story. They're always going to tell the
00:05:14.840
story of, do I possess the intangibles? Am I on fire when I wake up in the morning? Do
00:05:23.740
I attack my day with tenacity? Am I hungry every single morning with the will, the overwhelming
00:05:31.960
will to fucking win? Do I want to be the best? Those are the intangibles. And everybody thinks
00:05:42.720
it's cool to act like they have the intangibles. But you know what? Most of you motherfuckers
00:05:47.040
don't. Because most of you motherfuckers are going to listen to this podcast right here.
00:05:52.960
You're going to be pumped for about fucking two minutes and you're going to go back to doing
00:05:56.540
whatever it is you were fucking doing before with no care in the world. And if that's
