In this episode, I talk about how to become a great leader and a great manager of people, and why this skill is so rare and why it's so important to have it in your life. Being a good leader starts with setting an example, and it starts with showing people how shit should be done, because when you show people how it's done, they will naturally rise to that level of excellence, because they will also respect the shit out of you.

00:00:11.380 motherfucking ceo guys as you know uh we've taken a few weeks off um it's been a busy time of year 0.52
00:00:17.620 for me i had you know priorities here at work and in my actual companies that i actually run 0.99
00:00:24.460 um you know believe it or not i don't just post shit on instagram and and uh motivational shit 0.74
00:00:29.720 and then claim to be an entrepreneur i actually am an entrepreneur and the goal here guys is to 0.99
00:00:35.160 help you become the entrepreneur of you to help you become the motherfucking ceo of your life 0.77
00:00:42.460 all right that's why we started this that's why it's called a project i'm here to help you learn 0.84
00:00:49.160 the skills that you are going to need to know and master to become great at any area of your life
00:00:58.160 all right we kind of ride that fine line of business and also personal development and those things go
00:01:07.580 hand in hand which is actually what i want to talk to you about today okay i know it's thursday thunder
00:01:13.120 i know it's usually uh just straight motivation today but i want to talk to you about a very
00:01:20.960 very very important skill and the reality of learning that skill okay the skill i'm going to talk to you
00:01:30.160 about guys is the difference between being an average person who makes between 40 and 80 thousand dollars a
00:01:41.140 year and then moving from that that earning bracket to the six-figure earning bracket or seven-figure
00:01:49.780 earning bracket or beyond okay when you develop this skill you are essentially creating something
00:02:00.220 within yourself that is going to allow you to progress it's very very difficult i would say it's the
00:02:08.020 hardest skill to learn i would say it's also the skill that's going to take the longest to learn
00:02:15.120 all right and that skill that i'm talking about right now guys is leadership that skill is the
00:02:21.520 management of other people okay you could go out and you can run a business and you could have a
00:02:28.120 storefront and you can you know maybe earn uh you know 70 80 90 thousand dollars a year by yourself 0.99
00:02:35.720 you're going to work like a fucking dog but you could probably do it okay you could do that on the 0.98
00:02:42.940 internet you could go out and you could figure out how to you know sell some products online do some 1.00
00:02:47.680 amazon stores do some ebay stores do some different things you could create a company and you can make
00:02:53.060 you know high sub 100 000 a year but guys that's not a lot of money okay it's just not you guys might
00:03:04.940 think it is because you're not earning it right now but i promise you you are going to spend
00:03:10.280 at whatever level you earn at and when you get to 100 you're going to feel just as broke as you feel 0.99
00:03:16.480 now when you're not making anything because you're going to spend the money on dumb shit that's just the 0.85
00:03:20.900 reality very few people understand how to manage money but that is a different subject the subject that 0.97
00:03:26.400 we're going to talk about right now guys is how to become a leader and how to become an effective
00:03:32.740 manager of people okay we've talked about this at length on previous podcasts but i just want to
00:03:40.080 give you a short realization of why this skill is so rare and why it's so important okay guys to be a
00:03:49.340 great leader to be a great manager of people it starts with you you have to execute at 100 percent
00:03:59.400 levels all the time your people the people who you have underneath you that are helping you scale
00:04:06.800 and grow your business they are going to judge you on your weakest moment they aren't going to judge you
00:04:12.460 on the 98 times you did something perfect they're going to judge you on the two times you took the play
00:04:18.420 off they're going to look at that two times they took the play off and they're going to say well that's
00:04:23.340 the level i need to execute at and so the level of execution is going to naturally dilute because
00:04:29.440 they are going to judge you on what your weakest moment is all right guys being a great leader starts
00:04:36.620 with setting an example vince lombardi said it best i can't say it any better nobody else can say it any
00:04:42.560 better he said leading by example isn't the best way to lead it's the only way to lead and that is the
00:04:49.920 truth okay so you have to start with yourself if you want to become a great leader if you want to
00:04:55.840 become a great manager of people it's not about sitting behind your desk with your feet up pointing 1.00
00:05:01.640 fingers telling people how shit should be done it's about getting off your ass and showing people how 0.99
00:05:08.060 it's done there's a big difference because when you show people how it's done and you show people how to 1.00
00:05:14.640 do it consistently and effectively over the course of time they will naturally rise to that level they
00:05:21.400 will also respect the shit out of you because they understand that you know what it takes but i see far
00:05:28.480 too many people out there guys looking at leadership as if it's some sort of thing that is optional and i 0.99
00:05:36.320 guess it is optional if you want to be broke your whole life and feel like shit and not move up in your 0.83
00:05:41.120 company but when you are within an organization and you want to set yourself apart from everybody else 0.87
00:05:49.280 becoming a great leader and great manager of people is the number one skill that can set you above
00:05:58.040 and have you earning more money the quicker that you master it now how do you master it well the best way
00:06:05.200 to master leadership guys and becoming a great manager of people is by doing it all right so you
00:06:11.400 might not have anybody behind you right now you might not have anybody to manage right now you might
00:06:15.980 not you might be on the same level as everybody else you might the bottom level that doesn't mean you
00:06:20.360 can't be a leader you don't have to have permission to be a leader or a manager you just have to take 0.84
00:06:28.000 control you have to be the person who comes in who rises above everybody else's bullshit who sets
00:06:35.000 the standard for performance and shows every single person in the organization how much further you're 0.53
00:06:42.840 willing to go to contribute to doing excellent at everything that you do nobody does that it's super
00:06:51.060 rare and it's super valuable but the reality is most people won't put the effort in they'll they'll do
00:06:57.540 what they did in high school and junior high and grade school you know when when uh they want to sit
00:07:03.560 with the cool kids in the back of the class because uh you know it's cool instead of actually learning
00:07:08.920 what needs to happen or getting up in front of the class and showing them how to do the math problem
00:07:13.360 or leading by you know getting smarter and getting good grades they want to sit with the cool kids and 0.99
00:07:18.440 that's why most of the cool kids end up being pieces of shit their whole life think about that 0.98
00:07:24.040 this is not something that you can passively think about it's something that you need to take absolute 0.99

00:10:40.120 because i can't lose that guy he's a true asset to the company he's somebody that i cannot afford to 0.85
00:10:46.780 lose and too many of you guys who are in an employment situation don't understand that you are the one
00:10:53.300 that's actually in control of your of your compensation not your company you are the one
00:10:59.640 that has to go around and try to figure out how to stand out how to contribute how to add value you are
00:11:05.600 the person who has to take responsibility for doing that and then you leverage the company against those
00:11:14.280 skills you don't wait you don't put in your 20 years or your 10 years or your 15 years or whatever
00:11:21.080 you think it is you go out and you become great at leading and managing people and and whatever

00:11:47.320 rest of your life even in high paying sales jobs it's not one guy who's selling it's one guy who's
