In this episode of the MFCEO Project, I talk about why it's important to be the guy who supports his friends, family, and his acquaintances. And why if your product or service is not compelling enough for people to want to buy it, then it's probably not a good idea to start a business.

00:00:00.000 what is up guys you're listening to the MFCEO project I'm Andy I'm your host and I am the 0.99
00:00:11.580 motherfucking CEO guys today is Thursday thunder which means I'm going to reach down your throat 1.00
00:00:17.760 and rip your fucking tongue out and then I'm gonna eat it with some fucking sweet and sour 1.00
00:00:23.220 sauce from McDonald's you know I haven't had McDonald's in like seven eight years believe 1.00
00:00:28.460 it or not uh I don't know why that just came to my mind but I hate fucking McDonald's and I don't 0.98
00:00:34.500 eat it but they're sweet and sour sauce on some chicken nuggets and we're talking about something 0.97
00:00:39.500 I'm I can do something with that anyway if I was going to eat a tongue it would be with sweet and 0.93
00:00:45.360 sour that's my fucking point here's what I want to talk to you guys about today all right so many of 0.96
00:00:53.020 you guys are wanting to be successful you're wanting to start a company you're wanting to do this and 0.98
00:00:58.220 they say you write in and you tell me Andy my friends don't support me my family doesn't 0.97
00:01:04.440 support me my this my girlfriend doesn't support me my fucking uh friends from school they they don't 0.98
00:01:11.220 support me well look let's talk about this for for a second all right you cannot just expect people 0.98
00:01:20.640 to support you because you started something all right there could be a million reasons why they
00:01:29.360 aren't supporting you you cannot put that obligation on other people and expect that to be the revenue
00:01:36.040 driver for whatever it is you're trying to start too many of you guys start a company and you think
00:01:42.120 you're going to rely on your friends and your family and people you know to shop there and buy from 0.99
00:01:47.740 you and that's going to get you started that's wrong okay first of all they don't owe you shit 0.91
00:01:53.600 all right unless you've been the kind of person that supports them and goes out of your way for them
00:02:00.520 and has helped them they're not obligated to support you and even then they still might not support you
00:02:07.460 number two that's not enough people I don't care how social you are to actually build a business from
00:02:15.420 all right you cannot build a business counting on your friends and family to shop with you
00:02:21.380 and think that's going to be enough it's just not enough people all right but my main point and what
00:02:29.000 I want to talk about with you guys is the support expectation all right uh and before I get into that
00:02:36.540 the point number three is if your product or service is not enticing enough for people to want to
00:02:40.160 fucking buy it it's probably not a good idea to start that business you know most people understand
00:02:44.500 that for common sense but I'm just telling you right now if if you can't go have a five-minute 0.99
00:02:48.900 conversation with a stranger and show your your product how it solves a certain problem or helps
00:02:53.620 them in a certain way you probably don't belong in business and you're probably going to get beat
00:02:56.980 pretty hard all right so getting into this this this expectation of obligated support guys
00:03:04.560 you have to think of support as like a bank account all right you can make deposits and you can
00:03:12.840 make withdrawals all right and you might not be in business today you might not have something going
00:03:18.720 on that you expect people to buy from you but one day you might and the reason I bring this up is that
00:03:25.280 guys it's always a great idea always always always always a great idea to be the guy who supports his
00:03:35.320 friends his family and his acquaintances and whatever it is that they do as long as it's not immoral you know
00:03:42.740 what I mean show up at their barbecues buy their product give them a post be the guy who's going to
00:03:49.400 go out of your way to support your friends all right not only is it the right thing to do but one day
00:03:57.000 you might need their support back one day you might need the reciprocation of that deposits that you're 0.65
00:04:02.880 making into that bank and you might need to take a fucking withdrawal all right and so many of you guys 0.94
00:04:08.280 wait till you need to make a withdrawal when you haven't made any deposits and then you wonder why 0.96
00:04:13.380 nobody's fucking supporting you all right and this is what I want to talk to you guys about mainly
00:04:18.240 be the guy who supports people be the guy who cheers for people be the guy who helps people become 0.98
00:04:25.880 successful be the guy who connects people and you know what's going to happen good shit not only for 0.65
00:04:33.240 the people you're helping but it's going to come back to you it's going to come back to you when you
00:04:37.260 need it most it's going to be the thing that lifts you up when you're struggling or when you start
00:04:42.460 something new or when you're out trying to create something that is a little bit off the wall or a
00:04:48.100 little bit scary or risky all right you've got to be the person who supports his friends who supports
00:04:54.760 his family who supports his acquaintances before you could ever make a withdrawal or expectate expect
00:05:00.720 them to support you back okay and too many of you guys get so fucking upset when people don't support 0.97
00:05:08.180 you when who the fuck have you supported what have you done for these people just because you start a 0.96
00:05:14.840 business just because you start something doesn't mean these people owe you anything and let me branch off 1.00
00:05:21.420 onto another subject the idea that people owe you their support is very fucking arrogant and egotistical 0.98
00:05:27.920 nobody owes you shit and that expectation that people owe you something is going to always hold 0.99
00:05:33.380 you back because you're going to write into people like me crying and whining about why the fuck nobody 0.99
00:05:39.040 supports you i'm going to give you a reason why nobody supports you it's probably because you don't 0.99
00:05:44.100 fucking support anybody else so if you want to look at like why you're not getting the fanfare why you're 0.93
00:05:50.760 not getting the love why you're not getting the excitement why you're not getting the shares why you're not 0.99
00:05:57.460 getting the likes it's probably because you're not giving any of that shit first 0.99
00:06:02.720 okay social media has people thinking there's some kind of fucking celebrity where it's like not cool 0.98
00:06:10.920 to follow a lot of people or it's not cool to like their posts or it's not cool to support people because 0.99
00:06:17.300 you're big time and they're just little folks dude that's a recipe for fucking disaster 0.99
00:06:22.580 you are no better than anybody else you are no higher than anybody else you aren't on a fucking 0.99
00:06:29.700 pedestal you're a human being treat other human beings with respect give support give encouragement 1.00
00:06:36.860 give feedback help people and you will be fucking amazed at what good shit comes back to you 1.00
00:06:44.720 but you cannot cannot expect people to support you because you share the same last name or you went to 0.98
00:06:55.700 school together or you went to high school that is that is an unrealistic expectation people will
00:07:02.140 support you when you help them people will support you when you support them people will support you
00:07:08.520 when you do good for them first and if you can understand that concept you're not going to have
00:07:16.000 a problem rallying support for your own projects when those projects come around so stop looking around
00:07:23.020 and wondering why you don't have support the only reason you don't have support is this your product 0.93
00:07:27.900 sucks you're doing something immoral you're not doing something that solves a real problem and you 0.94
00:07:33.600 probably don't support other people and if you're that if you do one of those four things your business 0.99
00:07:38.260 is never going to fucking work anymore 0.93
