All I do is work, work, work, never run the sidelines, I only hustle, hustle, never take
00:00:05.780
your day off, I only work, work, work, I don't mess around, kid, I only can't, can't, can't,
00:00:11.760
what he never seems, get you, all I do is work, work, work, never run the sidelines,
00:00:15.260
it's Andy, you're listening to the MSCEO Project.
00:00:18.460
I'm here to bring you a little bit of Thursday Thunder, it's just me, I'm here by myself.
00:00:23.160
I want to talk to you guys about something that's important, alright, I get emails,
00:00:26.740
I get questions, I get asked all the time if someone's business idea is legitimate,
00:00:32.760
if I think their business idea is good, if I think their product's good, if I think their
00:00:36.040
service is good, and while I'm happy to share my feedback, guys, you have to understand one
00:00:41.420
thing, there's a huge difference between wanting to get someone's advice and feeling like you
00:00:48.320
Let's get one thing straight, you don't need someone's permission to be great, you don't
00:00:54.020
This is the biggest thing I see young entrepreneurs struggle with, like you think there's some
00:00:58.740
sort of secret group or secret cult or secret power out there that needs to say, hey, yeah
00:01:04.000
man, that's a good idea, you should go do that.
00:01:06.480
That's not the case, you don't need my approval, you don't need anyone else's approval to dream
00:01:15.620
People go searching around looking for experts to make them feel good about their business
00:01:20.000
Newsflash, guys, nobody's going to make you feel good about your business idea because at the
00:01:24.000
end of the day, you've still got to go out and you've got to do the fucking work, all
00:01:28.160
Anybody who's a successful, legit entrepreneur who genuinely has your interest at heart is
00:01:34.580
not going to tell you when you say, hey, man, what do you think about my idea?
00:01:38.020
They're not going to say, oh, I'm not sure about the idea.
00:01:42.960
Well, that'll never work because they know in their heart that true entrepreneurs figure
00:01:48.980
It doesn't matter what someone thinks about your idea.
00:01:51.040
It doesn't matter about what someone thinks about your plan.
00:01:56.040
And if you ask successful people, truly successful people who have built things from the ground
00:02:01.200
up, they're going to answer you with, you know, when you say, hey, what do you think about
00:02:05.040
They're going to ask, they're going to probe you with constructive questions.
00:02:12.400
Are you really passionate enough about this to see it through the meager lean years and follow
00:02:18.740
through to make a big business out of it, okay?
00:02:23.540
They're going to help you discover answers that are going to help you be more successful.
00:02:27.420
They don't consider themselves the business God.
00:02:37.660
Who out there has the right to declare you either a promising success or eventual failure?
00:02:43.980
So guys, when you go out there and you think, oh, I need to get my parents to approve.
00:02:50.700
I need to get so-and-so to approve of me and then I can go out and do it.
00:02:54.220
No, nobody's going to believe in you in the beginning.
00:02:57.500
Nobody is going to validate you and say, yes, you're going to be successful because the truth
00:03:03.140
And most of society is stuck within the four walls of what they're supposed to do.
00:03:11.960
They're not going to see what it is that you're capable of achieving.
00:03:15.240
So stop fucking looking for people to say, yeah, man, you're on the right track.
00:03:24.560
That's how you become a successful entrepreneur.
00:03:32.320
If you're waiting around for someone to come along, give you permission to be great, you're
00:03:36.260
going to be waiting for a very long fucking time, all right?
00:03:38.840
The fact is we're here for a short time and we're all going to die.
00:03:42.560
If you aren't working day in and day out to build your ultimate life, what the fuck are
00:03:47.600
Nobody's going to believe in you until after you've done it, or at least until you're well
00:03:53.000
And then some people are going to come around, the same guys who were laughing at you in
00:03:56.300
the beginning, saying you're crazy, they're going to say, man, I always believed in you.
00:03:59.500
I always knew you were going to do something great.
00:04:01.360
And they're going to ask you for a fucking job or to invest in their table at trivia night,
00:04:05.560
Don't let your delicate little panties get in a bunch because your friends laugh at you
00:04:09.540
when you say you want to drive a Lamborghini or build a great business or career or build
00:04:15.320
Instead, take those mental notes, save it inside, use it for internal fuel when you find yourself
00:04:21.140
wanting to quit or cut a corner on the road to success because that's how people win.
00:04:27.720
Don't worry about what they say because here's the thing.
00:04:35.260
You don't need your parents' permission, your girlfriend's permission, your boyfriend's
00:04:42.340
You don't need anyone's fucking permission to be great.
00:04:45.220
The only permission you need is from that motherfucker who stares at you back in the mirror
00:04:49.400
every day and a willingness to do the hard fucking work longer, harder, and better
00:04:56.900
Are you going to buy another success program looking for the secret recipe that doesn't exist
00:05:01.200
or read another meme about someone else's life or dream for another day about how you're
00:05:08.040
Or are you going to go do something right fucking now and do something that brings you closer
00:05:16.400
Never run the sightlands, I only hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle.
00:05:19.660
Never take your day off, I only work, work, work, work, work.
00:05:23.320
I don't mess around, kid, I only can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, money never sleeps.
