00:00:00.000 hey guys what's up you're listening to the mf ceo project i'm andy i'm your host and i am the

00:00:13.300 motherfucking ceo hey guys listen if this is your first time welcome this is thursday thunder it's 0.61

00:00:19.420 a short podcast it's gonna come it's gonna kick you right in the nuts and then i'm gonna let you

00:00:23.460 go do your shit you don't have to be a ceo to listen to this podcast guys if you you have to 0.96

00:00:28.960 understand that the principles of entrepreneurship and success apply to everyone they don't just

00:00:34.140 apply to people who run companies they don't just apply to people who are quote unquote ceos at some

00:00:40.980 point in your life you're going to have to realize that being a person requires you to take

00:00:46.060 responsibility for yourself and become the motherfucking ceo of you so that's what this 0.84

00:00:51.960 podcast is about tell your friends tell your mom tell her i said hi here's the deal guys

00:00:58.400 we're going to talk about two things today all right two things that absolutely destroy

00:01:06.360 your forward progress your forward momentum and your potential for success okay the first thing guys

00:01:14.400 is very simple and i snapped about this a few days ago some of you might have seen it i want to talk

00:01:19.600 about it more in depth right now and that's holding on to your past victories all right so many people

00:01:26.600 in life we all know these guys right they peaked in high school they were fucking prom king they were 0.90

00:01:33.660 quarterback of the fucking team and they go through life and you see them 10 years later and they're 0.97

00:01:39.820 they're sitting at the bar on a tuesday with their fucking male pattern baldness and they're like oh bro 0.97

00:01:45.280 back in the day i was the fucking man and they can't pay their fucking bills they're driving a hunk of 0.99

00:01:50.200 shit and they turn into a basically a complete uh accelerated version of themselves which is a

00:01:55.800 douchebag uh and they haven't done anything with their lives right and we see these people all the

00:02:01.080 time and the reason these people don't progress is because they they focus on the glory days they focus

00:02:08.720 on the things they have achieved in the past and they don't let themselves work towards a better

00:02:14.800 future and guys you have to be able to look at yourself and be honest with yourself on this

00:02:20.860 if this is you you have to stop this behavior okay when you focus on what you did last year or what you

00:02:29.920 did two years ago or what you did last month or the award i won at the company function or the uh the

00:02:37.680 sales numbers that i hit and beat everybody on this on the squad or whatever when you focus on this

00:02:43.800 shit guys that is energy that you could be putting into actually improving and focusing on the task 0.90

00:02:50.880 at hand which is today okay champions don't soak in you know kobe bryant doesn't fucking sit there and 0.94

00:02:58.400 talk about how many mvps he's won or how many championships he's won no the motherfuckers up at 0.71

00:03:04.420 three o'clock in the morning practicing every day why do you think he is so great he's not great because

00:03:11.700 he's great he's great because he puts the fucking work in on a daily basis and he wins every fucking

00:03:17.940 day okay and you guys have to understand what i'm talking about and there goes my fucking text messages 0.98

00:03:23.320 look too many people get hung up on what they did they they they got a raise they got promoted they

00:03:30.900 were good at one period of time and when you guys get hung up on that it keeps you from moving forward

00:03:37.860 all right and i see so many people that quote unquote used to be something become nothing and

00:03:45.720 fade out and become irrelevant because they're not able to take their victories in stride and just say

00:03:52.380 hey that was nice but today i'm back to work you know if you want to fucking award at your company 0.97

00:03:57.180 banquet last week this week it doesn't matter if you won your sales your sales uh team's quota this

00:04:04.160 last week this week's a new week okay just like they say in baseball you're only as good as your

00:04:09.680 last at bat all right and that is what you need to focus on you cannot hang on to past victories and

00:04:16.460 awards and all this shit and talk about how great you used to be because if you do that you're gonna

00:04:21.580 not be great anymore and that's the easiest way i can say it all right so i see so many you guys

00:04:26.700 especially business owners especially employees doing that because they are in a situation of

00:04:33.960 you know i did this one time or i did this uh you know good thing last year and they think that

00:04:42.440 carries them through and guys it's not going to carry you through it's just not congratulations on

00:04:47.740 being good at one time but what'd you do today did you win did you lose that's what you need to be

00:04:53.260 asking yourself and when you string wins together guess what you win when you string losses together

00:04:58.520 guess what you lose and if you want to hear more about this the powerless podcast uh it's killing

00:05:03.040 it every day it's back in the very beginning go back and listen to it i'll show you exactly how to

00:05:07.660 win every fucking day so guys quit holding on to your past victories the reality is nobody gives a 0.97

00:05:12.920 fuck except you anyway okay and concentrate that energy on becoming better developing your skills 0.90

00:05:18.420 winning today so that you can continue to do the things that you love which is win shit

00:05:22.860 all right two what is the other thing that kills success all right and it is this mentality guys

00:05:31.800 especially especially for you guys who are employees looking to create value amongst yourselves

00:05:38.280 within a company and some business owners do this too believe it or not but they have the mentality

00:05:44.040 that they're going to show up they're going to put in their time they're going to do the bare minimum

00:05:50.040 okay of what is expected of them and what they are paid for okay so there's a difference here that i

00:05:57.840 want to i want to delineate for you guys all right there are people who show up to work and hide in the

00:06:05.080 corner and don't do shit and expect to keep their job then there are people who show up to work put in the 0.81

00:06:12.780 effort do what they're paid to do and then go home and talk about how great of a fucking employee or an 0.92

00:06:22.080 asset they are to the company all right guys look newsflash you are paid to do that shit you cannot 0.90

00:06:30.300 come to work and expect to do what you are paid to do and expect to become an extremely valuable

00:06:38.100 extremely important extremely appreciated asset to a company especially a growing company that is

00:06:45.400 moving forward guess what you're going to have to do more and nobody likes to hear that shit because 0.87

00:06:51.780 they think oh that's more work well hey look look at it this way what you do and what you're expected

00:06:58.480 to do pays the bills what you do on top of that and the investments you make at home and reading

00:07:03.680 personal development extra shit that you could bring to the company ideas the extra things that's 0.81

00:07:09.760 an investment in your future all right so you have what pays the bills now and then you have what's

00:07:14.920 going to pay the bills 20 years from now all right and you have to think about that now so that in 20

00:07:22.700 years from now you're not going back and saying man i wish i would have done that because that's

00:07:28.160 something that so many young people think they they you know dude they got their 400 a month apartment

00:07:33.400 you know they they go out on the weekends they fucking they've got wine they've got beer they've got 0.91

00:07:39.420 a little weed they smoke it and they think they got life made and the reality is is dude you do not

00:07:44.540 have fucking life made because if you don't put in the extra shit on top of what is expected and what 0.96

00:07:49.920 you're paid to do you're going to be doing that same shit when you're fucking 40 because that the myth

00:07:55.760 that that life is going to automatically manifest this whatever the fuck dream that is you have 0.58

00:08:01.720 is not going to happen you're not going to flip the switch at 30 years old and have the big house

00:08:06.660 nice cars and a fat bank account just because you wished it you got to put in the work now and that

00:08:12.480 work uh compounds and accumulates and puts you in a position to have that opportunity when you are of

00:08:19.240 that age if you guys are 20 years old and you're saying oh this guy's old and he's fucking blah blah blah 0.93

00:08:24.820 i'm talking out of fucking experience this doesn't just happen so many of you young motherfuckers 0.94

00:08:31.040 think that this shit just happens you think i'm gonna fucking show up i'm gonna put in my time and 0.97

00:08:36.000 then i'm gonna fucking be rich and i'm gonna be balling like rick ross you know and fucking all 0.99

00:08:41.060 these bitches that ain't what happens you know what you know what's likely gonna happen with that 1.00

00:08:45.820 attitude you're gonna be 37 years old living your mom's fucking basement yelling at her for some 0.99

00:08:50.380 motherfucking meatloaf that's what's gonna happen all right so guys you've got to do more you've got

00:08:58.460 to become valuable you've got to understand that what you get paid to do is the minimum and everything

00:09:04.180 on top of that is your investment in your future all right so we have quit holding on to your past

00:09:10.900 victories and do more than what you're paid to do and i know there's some cynical motherfuckers 0.99

00:09:16.640 listening right now saying but andy you're just a ceo trying to get your employees to work for free

00:09:21.880 no motherfucker this is the way the world works the world does not reward people who do the minimum

00:09:27.600 the world rewards people who do far more than what's expected to the point where i as a ceo have

00:09:34.460 to look at those people and say dude i cannot lose that guy that guy's so fucking valuable to the 0.86

00:09:39.960 company i cannot let him go i cannot lose him and whatever somebody else is gonna pay him i gotta pay

00:09:45.380 him more because i cannot afford to lose him and that's the position that you should be looking

00:09:49.400 to leverage as an employee right now okay and i will go back and listen to what i just said about

00:09:55.180 five million fucking times all right guys so look stop holding on your past victories do more than 0.92

00:10:02.460 what you're expected to do and you're going to be able to move forward and if you want an actual

00:10:07.020 particular plan to go check this out go listen to kill it everyday podcast it's way back in the

00:10:13.060 beginning i'm not sure which one it is because vaughn's not here to fucking rip that statistic 0.95
