00:00:00.000 What's up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO Project Thursday Thunder. I'm Andy, I'm your
00:00:14.560 host and I am the motherfucking CEO. Guys, I'm going to keep this short. I'm going to
00:00:19.800 keep it sweet. Here's the deal. You want to know why most people can never get anywhere
00:00:24.560 in life, why most people never live, never experience, never build, never do anything
00:00:31.060 worthwhile in life besides be an average motherfucker and let me know, an average broke
00:00:37.420 motherfucker. You know why? Because most people's egos are so fucking inflated and so fragile
00:00:45.560 that they won't allow people to see them be bad at something. Okay? Let that sink in. You've never
00:00:53.600 done something before. You expect yourself to be awesome at it. You haven't done the
00:00:58.740 work. You haven't put in the time. You haven't put in the study hours. You haven't had the
00:01:04.260 experience but you expect to be good and because you expect to be good but you know you're not
00:01:10.580 going to be good, you don't do anything. Explain that shit to me. Okay? You want to be somebody
00:01:17.580 who succeeds? You want to be somebody who builds something? You want to be somebody who people
00:01:22.540 write fucking books about one day? You are going to have to be okay with being bad at shit for a long
00:01:28.740 fucking time. When I first started in business, I didn't even know what the fuck I was selling.
00:01:33.500 Okay? I remember the first person coming in, they came in for a product that I didn't even, it was
00:01:38.780 called Celltech by a company called Muscletech. They came in, the dude obviously didn't buy it. It
00:01:43.680 wasn't our first sale. He came in and asked me about it. I didn't even know what the fuck it was.
00:01:47.780 Okay? But I didn't care because I was going to figure it out. All right? And that's the
00:01:53.120 mentality you guys have to have. You have to be okay with looking like an idiot for a long
00:01:58.900 fucking time. And a lot of you guys, you'd rather be too cool for school. You'd rather be the cool
00:02:04.380 kids at the fucking high school lunch table than be the person who actually goes out, takes a leap of
00:02:11.600 faith, decides they're going to try something new, and actually becomes an expert at it over time.
00:02:17.840 Guys, you have to be okay not being good at shit. All right? Every valuable fucking lesson that you're
00:02:27.080 going to come across in your life is going to come from you fucking something up, aka failing.
00:02:33.660 All right? And it, you know, I hate failing as much as the next guy. Dude, I probably hold the record for
00:02:39.820 the most broken fucking Nintendo controllers on the face of the earth because I hate losing. And if I ever
00:02:46.060 find the person that wrote fucking Zelda, they're going to get a knuckle sandwich because I could never
00:02:49.840 beat that fucking game. But that's the point, okay? I hate to lose. But the thing is, is that once you
00:02:57.420 understand that every time you lose, it's an opportunity for you to not only learn that lesson,
00:03:03.260 but take it a plus one step. Okay? Listen to what I just said. A plus one step past the lesson,
00:03:10.760 you'll start to appreciate those lessons. You'll start to be okay with not being good at shit.
00:03:17.420 Guys, you don't want to be the guy that we talk about on the podcast who's 37 years old,
00:03:24.540 living in the mom's basement, yelling at her for a fucking hot pocket. Okay? Trolling people on the
00:03:30.940 internet. You don't want to be that guy. And if you don't want to be that guy, you're going to have
00:03:35.560 to understand that losing is a part of ultimately winning. You're going to lose a lot more than you
00:03:41.760 fucking win. And when you win, you're going to, you're going to figure out how to get better on top
00:03:46.520 of it. If you're a true winner, you know, they don't celebrate their wins. True winners take the win
00:03:52.180 and they say, how could I have even gotten better? How could I have ran the score up? How could I have
00:03:56.660 won by twice as many points? So you never really feel like you win and you have to be okay with that.
00:04:02.800 Okay? There's not one thing that I don't look at in my life and say, man, how could I get better at
00:04:07.440 that? How could I win at that? How could I run the score up on that? That's how much I love to win.
00:04:12.800 But I look at every single loss. I've learned to look at every single loss as an opportunity of how to
00:04:19.740 win more. And that's what you need to do too. You don't look at it like, Hey, everybody's going to
00:04:23.280 point and laugh and they might point and laugh. I could fucking tell you a list a mile long of
00:04:28.720 people who have told me, Andy, you still got that little vitamin shop. Andy, what are you trying to
00:04:33.960 be? Tony Robbins, Andy, you know, uh, when are you going to get a real job? You know, those are the
00:04:38.940 same motherfuckers asking me for fucking jobs now. All right. You guys have to understand that if you
00:04:45.100 are willing to be bad at shit, you will have the last laugh on these same people that we're talking
00:04:50.880 about. All right. So quit letting people stand in your way, quit letting you stand in your way and
00:04:56.180 understand that you are going to be bad as shit. You know, you're, you're going to suck. Nobody comes
00:05:03.540 out of the vagina and is a fucking CEO on boss level status. It just doesn't happen. You know,
00:05:11.560 Elon Musk didn't come out of being born and he was Elon Musk. You know, Gary Vaynerchuk didn't
00:05:17.560 become Gary Vaynerchuk when he was fucking born. Those come from learning lessons, putting in the
00:05:22.860 time and not being afraid to be laughed at. All right, guys. So check your fucking ego at the
00:05:28.420 door. If you ever want to be successful, people are going to laugh at you. People are going to
00:05:32.540 fucking point at you. People are going to make fun of you. But if you understand that losing and
00:05:37.440 getting laughed at and all these things, and you understand how to use those things to improve and
00:05:41.960 get better, you're going to have the last fucking laugh.
