Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and
00:00:15.220
I am the motherfucking CEO. Guys, if this is your first time listening, we do Tuesdays
00:00:20.680
and Thursdays. Today is Thursday, and on Thursday, we hit you with the Thursday Thunder, all
00:00:26.160
right? Thursday Thunder is short, it's sweet, it's to the point, and it's something that
00:00:31.040
I want to get you, I want to hit you, and I want to get you back out in the world and
00:00:35.780
ready to kick some ass, okay? This is an entrepreneurial-based podcast, but it's also a podcast that is going to
00:00:43.160
teach you the core values and the skills you need to be the motherfucking CEO of
00:00:50.220
your life, okay? You need to be going through your life with some confidence, you need to
00:00:54.480
be going through your life with some swagger, you need to be having a good time, and you
00:00:58.320
need to be cultivating success. It's your responsibility. We teach you all those things
00:01:03.220
on this podcast. It's not for everybody. There's a lot of people out there that have become
00:01:07.300
pussified little flowers these days that can't handle what we had to say, and if you're one
00:01:11.400
of those people, there's plenty of other rainbows out there for you to live under. This ain't
00:01:15.560
one of them. Guys, I want to talk about something that is getting massive traction in our internet
00:01:24.340
world, in our world, mass media, social media, everywhere we go, we're seeing this word,
00:01:33.300
okay? And this word, it's a four-letter word, and I think it's the word that holds more people
00:01:40.860
back in their lives than any other word in the English language, okay? You know what that
00:01:46.740
word is? It's fair, all right? Everybody wants to talk about what is fair, all right? They want
00:01:53.300
to talk about what they deserve. They want to talk about what they're entitled to. Well,
00:01:57.700
actually, they don't want to talk about what they're entitled to, because entitlement has
00:02:00.880
become a word that nobody wants to own up to, but they still feel that way down in their
00:02:06.940
heart, okay? So it doesn't matter if you verbalize these things, or if you feel this way in your
00:02:11.960
heart, the result is the same for your life. Fair, complaining about fair, complaining about
00:02:18.480
what you deserve, okay? Being entitled, those things keep you from moving forward. Let me give
00:02:25.740
you an example of what this is like. Living with the idea of fair is the same thing as, I'm sorry,
00:02:37.520
living with the idea of what's not fair, looking at someone saying, that's not fair, that's like that,
00:02:42.160
that's this, this, because it's like this, that's, you know, I deserve this, okay? These things you tell
00:02:49.980
yourself, that's the equivalent of going to an old train station that has been shut down 50 years ago
00:02:57.300
and has vines growing all over it, walking out on the train platform, stopping your feet, kicking your
00:03:04.500
feet, throwing a fucking fit, because the train isn't there when you want it to be there, okay? And then you
00:03:11.840
stand there for the whole entire day, stomping and kicking and pouting and crying and bitching
00:03:18.300
for this train that is never going to fucking come. It's never coming, okay? That is what living under
00:03:26.740
the fair, entitled, I deserve labels is going to get you. It's going to get you nothing. It's going to
00:03:33.820
cause you a ton of frustration. It's going to make you mad. It's going to make you angry. You could
00:03:38.480
spout off on social media. You can say whatever the fuck you want, but at the end of the day,
00:03:43.720
it's not going to change anything for you, okay? So when you find yourself living in this mentality of
00:03:51.200
what's fair, all right, or what you deserve, you have to stop yourself and check yourself
00:03:58.220
and realize, you know what? Life isn't fucking fair. There isn't a contract that floats down from the
00:04:04.720
Heavenly Father onto your fucking lap when you're a little baby and says, you know what? This life is
00:04:11.180
going to be fair for you. No, it's not fair for anybody. You know, I'd like to be an F1 racer.
00:04:17.760
I'd like to be fucking Michael Schumacher. I'd like to be racing Formula One all over the world.
00:04:23.140
It's not fucking fair. It's not fair I don't get to. It sounds ridiculous, right? Well, that's what you
00:04:27.300
sound like when you use it in any other way, all right? Life ain't going to be fair. Things aren't
00:04:34.580
going to go your way. That's the way life is, and the reason life isn't going to be fair, and the
00:04:41.300
reason things aren't going to go your way is because when things don't go your way, that's when your
00:04:45.880
character is built. That's when all the things that make you great, all the strength that you're
00:04:52.780
going to have your entire life, all the power you're going to develop, all the accomplishments
00:04:57.000
that you're going to achieve and be able to pass down from generation to generation to generation
00:05:03.460
are going to come from the things that aren't fair. They're going to come from the things that are
00:05:09.620
difficult. They're going to come from you working to earn the things that you deserve, okay? Don't spend
00:05:19.420
your life standing on the train platform, kicking and screaming and whining and crying about this
00:05:25.960
fucking train that ain't ever going to come. It isn't going to come no matter what you do. Your
00:05:30.800
life isn't going to change. You're not going to get where you want to go, so why are you wasting the
00:05:36.060
time and energy on something that ultimately is pointless? And I know there's people out there right
00:05:42.240
now, well, it's important to fight for fairness. It's important to fight for this. Hey, look, dude,
00:05:46.840
I get it. But at the end of the day, you got to worry about yourself. And there's lots of people
00:05:52.200
out there with the same fucking difficulties that you've had that come from the same backgrounds
00:05:56.440
you've had that come from the same socioeconomic, the same racial backgrounds, the same handicaps.
00:06:02.300
All these people have done the things that you want to do and you're not doing them because you're
00:06:08.940
holding yourself up with words like fair or I deserve or I'm entitled to this. And like I said in the
00:06:16.080
beginning, it's not about you verbalizing. You may not verbalize it, but what do you feel in your
00:06:21.820
heart? What do you see? What do you think in your heart whenever you see other people succeed?
00:06:26.040
What do you think in your heart when you see other people doing big things that you want to do?
00:06:29.620
Do you see people do great things and you think, fuck yeah, that's great. I can do that too.
00:06:35.120
Or do you see people do great things and you think, fuck, fuck that guy. That's not fair.
00:06:41.500
You know what? The reason that guy got there is because of the color of his skin. Or the reason
00:06:45.500
that guy got there is because he grew up this way in this socioeconomic situation. Or he was
00:06:51.000
fortunate enough to have this other education. You know what? That might be fucking true. But at the
00:06:56.820
end of the day, those fucking things aren't going to change your life. You're not going to be able
00:07:01.300
to move forward because you point them out. You're only holding yourself back by living under the fair
00:07:07.560
rainbow and the I deserve rainbow. And you can move a lot quicker and a lot faster and accomplish a
00:07:16.720
hell of a lot more by letting go of the idea that things are supposed to be fair and working on
00:07:22.320
yourself, progressing on yourself, moving forward on yourself and putting the work in to get you where
00:07:28.800
you want to go. Okay? For example, when we talk about the train station, you kicking and screaming,
00:07:33.600
what's going to get you further? Kicking and screaming on the train platform like a little
00:07:37.440
fucking bitch? Or putting your fucking heel to your toe over and over and over again down the
00:07:43.640
train tracks? It might be slow. It might not be as fast as you want to go. Because I know it's not
00:07:48.660
fucking fair that the train didn't come to get you, even though it's been shut down for 50 fucking
00:07:51.780
years. What is still going to get you further? You know what's going to get you further? One fucking
00:07:57.540
step in front of the other. It's always going to be that way. It's always been that way. And you can
00:08:02.100
either accept the reality of that, or you could spend your life kicking and screaming and pouting
