Starting point is 00:02:46 Dude, we were fucking with the lights earlier. I couldn't figure out where the setting was. I don't remember being in this dart. Dude, I don't remember being this dart. Yeah, we had two-week hiatus. A little hiatus, man. It was good, though, man. How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:02:56 Good. Yeah. Back in the saddle. Yeah, man. Feeling good. Looking good. Yeah, you are. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:03 That's right. I'm excited to get back on CTI. Yeah, well, those are going to be fun. There's some things. I wanted to say last couple weeks I didn't get to say. I probably won't say them anyway because it's old, but we'll talk about that later. Yeah, we get to it, man. We get to it.
Starting point is 00:03:18 This is, this is the episode where people get better. That's right. I mean, they get better on a CTI also. Yeah, but this is the main thing. This is getting better better. Yeah. So let's do that. I got three good ones for you.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Guys, Andy, question number one. Andy, I work for a trucking company. I recently got passed up twice for promotions in the last eight months for a management position for my shift that I currently have been operating for eight years. Now, I realize that time doesn't mean shit. It's the impact you make within that time. The first promotion, the person that got it was the favorite to get it, but never worked nighttime operations.
Starting point is 00:03:55 The problem is that she never started that position because she just needed the manager title for another promotion. The second time I got passed up was a person that worked under her in a different department, and she had a big influence on his promotion. Everyone in management is realizing this is not based on work performance. It's a lot of favoritism. How do I handle loss moving forward knowing that that position is handed to someone else rather than earning it? Are we fucking serious here?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Like, are we fucking serious? Bro, you suck. You suck at your job. If you were that great at your fucking job, you would have got the promotion. Okay? Let's be fucking real. Businesses don't exist to fucking piss money. way. They don't exist to give cousins jobs. They don't exist to fuck you over. They exist to
Starting point is 00:04:45 fucking win. All right. So while you may think this and you may think, oh man, I'm getting passed over and blah, blah, blah, no, you're getting passed over for a fucking reason that you're unwilling to admit. Okay. And it's probably that you got a bad attitude or you lack the capacity to lead or you bitch a lot or you cry a lot. Or I don't know, maybe you wrecked three trucks. I don't know. I don't know what it is. But something you're doing. is not resonating with the leadership of the company. And while they hold your balls in their hand, you should probably figure out how to fucking make them like you.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Okay. So how old do you say he was? Didn't say. Okay. Well, you're old enough to fucking know if you're old enough to drive a truck that the reason that you got passed by is because you fucking suck. So get better. Dude.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Like real talk. I'm sick of this shit. You guys all fucking whine about, uh, get passed over. If it's even a question, is someone even close to as good as you? It's too close.
Starting point is 00:05:40 That's the thing that you got to understand. When we talk about being undeniable, we talk about truly possessing what it takes to win. You have to be so much better than the person next to you that if the conversation comes up, who's better, this or that? It's laughable. That's the gap we're fucking talking about here. We're not talking about splitting hairs. Oh, well, you know, they're, I don't know. You know, there should not be a discussion.
Starting point is 00:06:11 You should be that much better than everybody else. And that is what the fuck undeniable means. So get your bitch-ass shit out of here with just, I got passed over. You got, okay, if you really got passed over because of these reasons, find a new place to work. All right? But I'm going to bet that that same exact shit is going to happen to you again. And I bet it's happened to you before. How many jobs have you had before where you got passed over and, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:38 And it was everybody else and it wasn't you. I bet you have this problem in your fucking relationship. I bet you have this problem with your friends. I bet you have this problem in your career. I bet nothing is your fault. And I bet you will go to the grave thinking nothing is your fault. And that the whole world conspires against you whenever you would just, if you would just figure out very simply that what it takes to win is greatness.
Starting point is 00:07:04 It does not take almost greatness. It doesn't take kind of good. It doesn't take I work hard. Working hard is the price of admission. You have to be skilled. You have to be good. You have to contribute. You have to earn the confidence of your leadership.
Starting point is 00:07:19 If you're a leader, you have to earn the confidence of your team. This comes through undeniable winning effort and skill set. And right now, you don't fucking have it. Okay? I don't know what, if I was your friend, this is what the fuck I'd be telling you. you probably ruined a whole bunch of your life being like this. Oh, it's fucking, you know. Favoriteism.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Yeah, right. Oh, it's their favorite. Well, you know what? You know who my fucking favorites are? You know who my favorites are? The ones who fucking win. My fuck is a win. Fuck, dude.
Starting point is 00:07:49 You want to know who I like the best? The ones who do their fucking job the best. You know why? Because it makes my life easier. And we win more. And it's better for everybody. Okay, those are my fucking favorites. Shoot me.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Okay. Oh, he's got favorites. You're fucking right. I got fucking favorites. 100% every fucking leader has favorites and you know who the favorites are the ones who do their fucking job without having to be harassed to do their fucking job and they do it great and they do it without fucking eating a whole bunch of hand holding and coddling and and ass patting which sounds like you fucking need so grow the fuck up that's my answer i fucking love it man i love
Starting point is 00:08:26 dude it makes me think too it's like you know like and i've heard you say this to to employees right like nobody knows your name It's not their job to know your name. It's your job to make your name known. That's what I'm saying. Why is that such a big lack? Because everybody's got inflated egos, bro. No, everybody's done nothing and they expect everything.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Everybody's, you know, thinks that they've accomplished the greatest thing in the world by breathing the fucking air and blessing them with their fucking presence. I hate to tell you this, dude, but your parents were wrong. Your teachers were wrong. Your aunts and uncles, they were wrong fucking too. Everybody that told you that you were special for breathing the fucking air and that that was going to be enough for you to get respect and enough for you to be able to survive in this world was wrong. You need to wake the fuck up and understand what the truth is.
Starting point is 00:09:19 And the truth is simple. If you want to win, you have to be undeniably great. Undeniably great is not close to the next guy. There's such a gap that it's not even a fucking question. Okay, it's like It's like Is Shohei Otani
Starting point is 00:09:40 Should we have Shohei Otani play for us Or should we have This AAA guy That's never played a fucking game in his life Yeah, right Like it's not a discussion Right
Starting point is 00:09:51 You need to be Otani bro And if you can't be Otani What the fuck you do You ain't gonna get paid like Otani Okay, you understand? This is very, very simple The problem is All you motherfuckers try to look for the fuck
Starting point is 00:10:03 fucking cut around. You try to find the cheat code. You try to, and you waste your whole life doing it. You waste your whole life doing it. You end up bitter, frustrated, broke, angry, feeling like the world fucked you over. When in reality, dude, you fucked you over.
Starting point is 00:10:19 That's it. So don't get the fuck out of here with your, ugh, get passed over. You got passed over because you're not fucking good enough. And that's it. Fucking love it, dude. Oh, man, I love it. Bro, I'm tired of it.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I love it. I'm tired of it. You guys are fucking delusional sometimes, man. Not all of you, obviously, but like, the fuck out of here, dude. Oh, you know what? I'm in the NFL. I got fucking, you know, the number one draft pick. I think I'll go ahead and play this undrafted guy.
Starting point is 00:10:46 And, you know, who's better? I'm sure to work out. Yeah. Dude, dude. You know what the craziest thing about this, too, man? Is that, like, the true winners, if they got passed up, they still will look internally for something they didn't do well enough. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:11:00 Like, if they got passed up and, well, fuck, I must not did this good enough. shit. Not it's everybody else's fault. No shit. All his favorites. Like that's, it's a mindset. It's a victim mindset, bro, bitch-ass attitude that's infected people from the last 20 years of failed social strategy in the system. It's propaganda. Okay. If you want to win, you got to be great. If you want to win the race, you got to be the fastest. If you want to lift the most, you got to be the strongest. If you want to earn the most money, you got to be willing to do shit that other people aren't willing to do. You got to be willing to do it longer. And you got to be willing to do it better. And you got to be willing to do it when you're tired and when you're sick and when you don't feel good and when fucking you'd rather do anything else
Starting point is 00:11:38 Even die than take another fucking step forward those are the motherfuckers that win Okay, everybody else loses not not kind of loses everybody else loses Okay, this is a show about winning if you want to win get good at what the fuck you do So good that it's not even a discussion of who's second best It's really simple dude It's just hard I fucking love it dude I love it guys. Andy, question number two.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Andy, there's so much noise in business right now. Try this marketing strategy. Do this for social media. Put these systems in. Automate this. It feels like you could spend all day doing things that look productive, but don't actually move the business forward. How do you figure out what really matters versus what's just busy work?
Starting point is 00:12:28 I mean, 27 years and I'm sure you've tried fucking everything, right? How'd you figure it out? All right, look. First off, you got to learn how to... All right. I'm going to answer this as if I don't know anything. Okay. Sometimes I forget that there's people that don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yeah. Okay? The first thing you've got to understand is that most of these people on the internet are full of shit. That is their brand. That's their product. What they're saying is their product that they're trying to sell. these people who claim to be marketing geniuses on the internet, what have they done? What have they built?
Starting point is 00:13:11 If they were that good at marketing, wouldn't they have their own company that was just totally fucking whooping ass on everybody else? Do your due diligence. All right. That's the first thing. The second thing, you have to understand how to filter through the minutia and the bullshit and figure out what the critical things that are going to move you follow. are on a daily basis if you lack the ability to define critical tasks or you lack the honesty
Starting point is 00:13:43 because you're lazy and you say oh these are critical tasks when they're not really you won't get anywhere bro you won't get anywhere you have to be able to identify and by the way you have to be able to identify what that is how did i do that i've been doing this for 20 fucking seven years bro it's trial and error but it it shouldn't be that hard for you to figure out what's going to get you further. Watching a video on, listening to a podcast on branding or actually, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:12 making some phone calls to actually build your brand out, right? And like doing some things with some real people. Like what, watching a video on cold calling versus just fucking call. Yeah. Like, dude,
Starting point is 00:14:24 as an entrepreneur, you learn everything on the job. And if we're, if we're being real, every job, you learn everything on the job. There's no difference in that sense. There's no job out there that you don't learn.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Like, could read the training manual at chick-fil-A. You don't know how to make a fucking chicken sandwich yet. No. You're going to know how to make it once you make a couple. Yeah. Right? That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Like that's what you got to do. So critical tasks. Do they move your business forward? Is this a task that moves my business forward? Ancillary tasks. This is the shit I got to do today to live my life. I got to pick up the kids from school. I got to go to the grocery store.
Starting point is 00:15:03 That's to do list. critical list gets done first, ancillary gets done second. Critical is the things that are going to move you forward. Ancillary are the things that you have to do in day to day. It's really simple. Critical tasks are things that you are actively doing to move forward. For me, that looks mostly like making contact with people and having conversations with people. For you, that might be, you know, today is tax day, right?
Starting point is 00:15:32 That might be, okay, making sure that my taxes are filed today, right? Or it might be something else. But the point is, it doesn't move you forward. Is this something that has to be done in your business? Does it get you down the pipe further, right? It's really simple, dude. I think it also brings up a topic of success zombies that you talk about all the time. People think they, if they're reading and consuming content, they're progressing.
Starting point is 00:15:58 But like you said, if they don't take action towards their business or whatever, they're not. Yeah. That's a big problem. It's a huge problem, especially with the inundation of all the experts, right? And then you get frozen because, you know, you get paralysis by analysis because you're getting so much information from so many people. Most of the people are not credible and you're getting confused and then you get paralyzed
Starting point is 00:16:20 and you don't take action. Okay, you got to make a choice and you got to move forward. And if you're having trouble moving forward and you're having trouble with the confusion, then tune out the confusion, cut the noise out, do what you think. think you need to do to move the business forward and you will learn study people who have done what you've done figure out what they did like to me and maybe I'm wrong but this is basic shit like if I didn't know anything and this is what I did when I didn't know anything I picked people who did what I did and I watched them and I figured out what they did right and I thought about
Starting point is 00:16:53 what they do wrong and sometimes because I didn't have experience I thought what they did wrong was wrong but it was actually right and i just become a student of the process and that's what you have to do and it's not it's not listening to everybody it's paying attention to everybody it's a different thing observation bro there's so much free shit out there like there's so much free information out there like from credible people it's just like what what are you guys doing you know what i'm saying but i mean look here's the reality if you're not smart enough to be able to determine who's credible and who's not and you're not smart enough to determine what your critical tasks are, you're not smart enough to win. I don't know, you should do something else. Like these are basic
Starting point is 00:17:41 things. You should be able to fucking look into someone and figure out if they've actually done the things that they say they do. If you can't do that, you're not very smart. If you can't figure out what task is going to move your business forward, you're not very smart. Entrepreneurs, you've got to be somewhat smart. You don't have to be the smartest. You got to be somewhat smart. We're smart enough to do that. Yeah. That's pretty good. That's good. I love it, man. I love it. Guys, Andy, let's get to our third and final question. Question number three.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And I'm fairly new to you. And you have me in complete reprogram mode. I'm 22 years old from Idaho. Since listening to your content, I've noticed something about myself that's kind of frustrating. If I tell someone else I'm going to do something or show up or finish a task, be somewhere, I'll do it no matter what. But when it comes to stuff I set for myself, like going to the gym or chores around the house or working on something I said I cared about, I'll find a way out of it. It's not like I don't know what to do. I just don't follow through the same way I do for other people. After a while, it starts to mess with your confidence because you don't even fully trust yourself no more. How do you fix that?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Like, how do you get to the point where your word to yourself actually means something? Ooh. Young Buck. Well, I mean, look, this is why Live Hard and 75 Hard has been created, okay? The skill that you're talking about as adherence and discipline. And when you don't have the ability to adhere, it doesn't matter how good the plan is. All right. So your job, which at 22 years old, I think it's pretty interesting.
Starting point is 00:19:24 that you've already identified this because you have, your job is to cultivate that ability to adhere. And the way that you do that is by training yourself in the skill set of mental toughness, which encompasses grit, fortitude, perseverance, the ability to endure, confidence, self-esteem, mental toughness. It's a concept of many different small skill sets. And when I say skill sets I mean skill sets because they are not traits a lot of people look at these highly disciplined people and they think oh man he's got what I don't or he has something I don't know he doesn't have something you don't he has cultivated the ability to be disciplined in that one area that you think is magical when in reality you haven't cultivated that same discipline
Starting point is 00:20:10 so what you have to do is you have to become aware of where your weak points are which you are already aware of and then you have to practice executing at those points I as always would highly recommend 75 hard and the live hard program, which is a repeatable program. It's a one year program. You're not on it the whole year. It accounts for like 40% of your year. But you wanna win, you wanna fucking really put your life in overdrive.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Live the live hard lifestyle because it'll keep your mental toughness sharpened. It'll keep your ability to adhere sharpened. It'll give you the confidence and the belief in yourself that you're looking for because you are following through on the things that you've told yourself you're going to And this is the magic of the program. All right. The magic of the program is that it takes something that most people think are traits and teaches them that their skills that they have to understand are perishable and have to brush up
Starting point is 00:21:07 and sharpen on a regular basis. Okay. So like once you learn these skill sets and once you get them sharp, they can easily go away if you don't practice them. All right. So first thing to understand is that these are skills that you could cultivate. Second thing to understand is that they're perishable. and you have to practice them over and over again.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And the third thing you have to understand is that once you have these skillset sharpened, and if you keep them sharp, there's actually no limits to what you can do. Because if you have the ability to adhere to a plan, it doesn't matter what plan is put in front of you. You have the ability to adhere to it. Okay. So that solves the problem of success for like 99.999% of the people. We don't lack information. We don't lack plans.
Starting point is 00:21:47 We don't lack ideas. We don't lack successful business plans. We lack the ability to do it. That's where people lose. Okay. And that's why 75 hard is a program that's continued to grow for six years now. Yeah. When everybody's like, oh, it's a fucking fad.
Starting point is 00:22:03 It's not a fucking fad. It's not a fucking weight loss program. It's a success program for your brain that allows you to achieve things that you otherwise couldn't. Okay. And if you keep that sharp, if you keep that ability to adhere sharp, you won't have a problem with the things that you're talking about. Nor will you have a problem doing anything else you want to do because the reality
Starting point is 00:22:22 is success in life is not that much different than success in baking or cooking. Okay, there's a set of directions and you've got to fucking follow them. How hard is it to be a really good cook? It's really not that hard. Is it hard to do off the top of your head? Sure, that takes years and years and years and years and years. You're going to be Gordon Ramsey. You're going to do it for 30 fucking years.
Starting point is 00:22:40 But I can make a fucking Michelin Star meal in my house by following motherfucking directions. Okay? And so can you. And so can everybody in this fucking room. And success is no different. So if I don't have the ability to follow the directions, it doesn't. It doesn't matter what directions I have. And the cake's going to suck.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Yeah. The food's going to suck. Your life's going to suck. All right. So you got to realize that the number one skill, a 22 years old, that you can give yourself, the biggest gift you can give yourself is the understanding that mental toughness, grit, fortitude, perseverance, self-confidence, self-esteem, the ability to endure. All of these things are skills that you have to keep sharp.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You have to practice. And if you do that over the next 15 years, bro, you're going to be so far ahead of everybody else that's going to be ridiculous. I got a couple of things on this. I want to ask you about. The first thing being, you know, and I'm curious to what you think or how you think about this, but it's like I look at things like consistency, for example, right? And like you see people who are out of shape or something like that, right?
Starting point is 00:23:40 It's like, oh, man, they're not consistent. They're not disciplined. But it's like if they're going to McDonald's every single Thursday and Friday, like that's, that's consistency. They're just consistently being shit. Correct. Right? And so, like, I mean, what's your thoughts on that? Like, people have it.
Starting point is 00:23:54 They just not apply it. You mean like when people say things like, all you got to do to be successful is be consistent. Motherfucker, you're already consistent. That's right. You're consistently bad. That's right. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Consistency is not the key to success. Okay. The right execution consistently is the key to success. Right. All right. Everybody's consistent. Everybody is. You're consistent.
Starting point is 00:24:17 You probably do the same. If we recorded your life for the last 10 years, I bet you do. almost everything exactly the same. Okay? That's consistent. Yeah, that's consistent. And it's consistently producing the same result that you have, the one that you don't like.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Yeah. So if you want to change, you've got to be consistent in other things. And that is very basic. Yeah. But most people like, I have trouble being consistent. Not really, dude.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I see you go into that gas station and get those tequitos and those chips and that pizza and that fucking big gulp and all that shit you get every, you do that consistently. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? You just won't move your fat ass down the road consistently.
Starting point is 00:24:56 That's right. You know. That's so real, man. Yeah, I know it is. You don't have a problem with consistency, bro. It's application. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:05 And then the second thing I want to hit on too, because I, like, because I was, as I was like, reading this question, this dude sounds like he has a good heart, right? And I think this also messes up a lot of people, too, where like, okay, you're saying you show up for everybody else. You're just not showing up for yourself. Is this the time for him to, like, maybe, maybe just cut that off? Well, I think you need to understand. So you got to, this is another thing as a young person.
Starting point is 00:25:27 It's easy. You got to understand this up front. You got to be selfish before you could be selfless. You can't really serve other people the way that you could unless you have taken care of your own life and your own business, your own health and your own finances and all of your own. Then you can actually take care of people. But when you, when you don't have any of those things and you're trying to.
Starting point is 00:25:54 to give, give, give, give, give, and you don't have much to give. Not only do you not have much to give, but you lack, it takes away from the ability to grow the thing that's going to allow you to give what you want to give. So it's, you know, it sounds counterintuitive, but you have to be selfish, dude. You got to take care of yourself. You got to take care of your own shit. You got to make sure all that shit's right. And then that equips you to do more good for more people in a more impactful way. Yeah, dude, absolutely. Yeah. I think too, like especially for being 22,
Starting point is 00:26:27 it's like prime time to fucking, if you're going to be selfish in that sense, yeah. This is a great time to fucking do it. Yeah, dude, look, look, you got two schools of thought. You know, you've got one school of thought. We're like, oh, you're in your 20s.
Starting point is 00:26:38 You should go, you know, fucking travel the world and be in Africa and fucking, whatever, right? Cool. All right. Well, that's 10 years you lost to people that are fucking giving it. And then at 30, you're going to be like, well, fuck, I'm way behind. Well, yeah, you are behind. You are behind.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Now, people will like to say, oh, you know, you're still young. True. But you're behind the guy that started when he was 20. Okay. And I'm going to tell you this. I started when I was 19. There's no regrets that I started when I was 19. In fact, it's probably the one thing that I'm most grateful for.
Starting point is 00:27:11 I'm most grateful that I started at 19 and I'm still a fairly young man and I'm very successful because I started so young. It gives me a totally different quality of life. When I, dude, by, by, I've been, I've been living the quality of life I have since I was 33, 32. Yeah. Okay. So that's, most people are getting started then. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Okay. So what's the quality of my 30s versus the quality of the 30s of the guys starting when he was 30? Big difference. Okay. And what did I really give up? I didn't really give up that much. I just worked hard in my 20s. I still fucking went out with my friends.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I still fucked around. Yeah. You know, could I have went harder? Yeah, but I mean, I went hard enough to get me where I'm at Right. You see what I'm saying? So you guys who are young dude, you need to ignore this That like real talk I think some of the worst advice on the internet is you know, just fuck your 20s away I think your 20s are built for building and I think when you could commit
Starting point is 00:28:09 You'll never find someone who's committed to building in their 20s say they wish they hadn't It just doesn't yeah you don't hear it that's real you don't hear it yeah okay You don't hear people who like started when they're 20 years old say oh man I wish I had started at 30. Waste of my life. That's not what the fuck they say. They say the opposite. And you should pay attention to that because they have perspective.
Starting point is 00:28:30 They know what it's like to watch some of their friends and wait until they're 35 or 40. And by the way, if that's what you have to do, that's what you have to do. And the good news is technology makes it a lot faster than it used to be. So it's not like it was in the old days like when I started where you had to put in fucking 12 years to even get paid. All right. So I'm not trying to shit on people that are older. I'm not trying to moralize you. But if you have the choice and you have the option, I would start as young as possible.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Do I think the other final piece on this too, I feel like another misconception with the young crowd on this specific topic is that it's almost presented as like an all or nothing. I'm glad you said that. Like you still have, you had fun. You went out, you know, you had your things. Well, I did some wild shit. That's right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:29:14 Like, I had a fucking great time. Yeah. But it's just like, I feel like it's presented now as it's like, it's this all or nothing. And you either got to be this fucking recluse that's fucking working 48 hours out of the 24. That's why the fucking powerless system that I use is so perfect, dude. Okay. It's the only guaranteed system for success. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:33 If you follow it the way that I designed it, you cannot fucking lose. It's impossible. It's impossible. It's literally impossible to fucking lose if you do it the way that it's lined out. Yeah. Now, if you do it the way that you want to do it by putting in, you know, weak-ass tasks, and, you know, to-do lists. I'm routine.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Yeah. You're going to lose. Yeah. Okay. But if you do it, the way it's designed, you can't lose. Okay? And the greatest part about it is that it's five critical tasks per day. And once those five critical tasks are done, you have the rest of the day to do anything
Starting point is 00:30:09 you want. Anything. What do you want to do? You want to go to the park? You want to cut the grass. You want to hang out with your kids. You want to fucking smoke a bowl. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Whatever you want to do. You got it to do. But you got your shit done. Yeah, your shit gets done and you get a life. Yeah. Okay? So this idea, there's a, also, dude, there is a point of diminishing returns in a single workday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:33 All right. So, like, once you go past five, all right, and you get the five critical task and let's say, oh, I'm going to be, I'm going to fucking do 10 or I'm going to do 15. You can't keep that up. Okay. And the reason that it's hurtful is because that means you're going to learn that. that you're failing the days over and over. You're gonna say, oh, you know, yeah, I got seven done,
Starting point is 00:30:56 but there's four that didn't get done. And that's gonna compound into that feeling of not being effective. So it's gonna take away from your confidence, gonna take away from your belief. So it's very important that you stick to the way that it's designed, you do the five tasks, and then you get to live your life.
Starting point is 00:31:12 And dude, I'm telling you, as someone who's built shit with this system, it works. And you don't have to work 40 hours, fucking day. Yeah, right. You know, like... It's not sustainable. By the way, do you ever hear, like, real, real talk?
Starting point is 00:31:27 I mean, there's... People say that, oh, man, I'm fucking working, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. None of the people saying that have the life to show for it. Oh, man. Where is it at? Where is it? Yeah. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:31:41 Yeah. I'm working my balls on it. Are you? Yeah. Rent and a fucking... Listen, dude. Here's the guru play. talking head reels over someone else's shit
Starting point is 00:31:53 get enough people to pay you to buy a fucking exotic car stand in front of the exotic car talk about how much you know and hustle it that's the play yeah and it's it's beyond me that people can't look past that and understand like bro if you were that good at what you say you're good at then why the fuck aren't you doing it and by the way if your coach isn't in business currently with an actual business, how do they keep up on what's actually going on in real business and not just the theory of what they think is going on?
Starting point is 00:32:25 Dude, because shit changes every day. That's right. That's right. That's why Artae Seneca syndicate is such a valuable thing that Ed and I do because we're both in the fucking game. Like, for real in the game. Still in the game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Like not, you know, oh, yeah, this is what everybody's doing that's winning. Look at this brand and look at that brand and look at this guys and look at that guy. That's not what the fuck they're doing. Hey, we just tried this shit. I just tried this shit yesterday. That's right. Totally different thing. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Totally different thing. It's real easy to break down everybody's shit on the internet and say they're doing shit right and wrong, uh, except for, you know, they're winning and you're not. So. Oh, man. You know what I'm saying? Oh, dude, that's so real. That's so real.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Like, you see how many fucking people breaking down brands that just kick ass? Yeah. Talking about all their marketing is bad or this is bad. Okay. All right. I just don't listen, man. It's predatory at this point. And you have to discern and you have to understand and you have to do due diligence.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Are there people that can help you for sure? They are, it's two percent of the people that say they can. If they're not in the game or they haven't been in the game, the exact game that you shouldn't listen to them. Shouldn't. They don't. It's theory. It's not, it's not reality. There are lots of things that people talk about in theory that, that does.
Starting point is 00:33:45 don't work in reality. But they don't know that because they don't fucking run a company. Okay, I run a whole bunch of companies. All right, I know what the fuck's working and what's not working. That's right. All right, like I know, no, I don't kind of know.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I fucking know, you know. And like, it's funny because sometimes, you know, you'll see some of these videos that people post, and I wanna like comment on them and be like, bro, you sound like the biggest fucking one I've ever heard in my life. That does not work. Yes, right.
Starting point is 00:34:13 But I can't, but I'm not gonna do that because I'm gonna be a dick. dickad. You know, but I think it every time. Well, that would have worked three years ago. The other thing I fucking can't get, that I get tired of is this fucking hocus pocus fucking fru-fru shit. You know, like, oh, you got to be in a place to receive the gifts if you're going to
Starting point is 00:34:29 shut the fuck up. Okay, success is real simple. It's inputs and outputs. Did you do the fucking work and did you do it at the right level and what was the result? It's that simple. You don't have to be in a place to fucking receive it. You don't have to fucking kumbaya. You don't got to rub together sage stick it up your butthole.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You don't have to fucking do any of that shit. You got to do you got to work. You got to execute. Your execute has to be effective. And it produces a result. And that's fucking it. There's nothing else to it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:00 So get the fuck out of here with your, oh, got to kumbaya. Shut the fuck up, dude. Shut up. Yeah. It's all bullshit. It makes people think they can be successful by rubbing their fucking thumbs together and humming in the corner of their fucking bedroom. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Yeah. It doesn't, dude. No. Anything to avoid doing the shit that it actually takes. It's like, I haven't tried the same thing. And then you have, and then you have these coaches like promoting this shit. And you know why they promote it? Because that's an easy sell to people. It's an easy sell to people.
Starting point is 00:35:32 They know that most people aren't going to do it. So what do they tell them? They tell them all this shit that seems real easy instead of the shit they need to hear, which is, bro, you suck. You've got to get good. or you're not working hard enough you've got to put in more time or both
Starting point is 00:35:49 and that's dude it's it's inputs and outputs it's fucking math it's one plus one equals motherfucking two that's what the fuck it is and anybody tells you any different is full of shit
Starting point is 00:36:01 amen amen man now if you want to do all that shit and you want to hum in the corner and get some little symbols and fucking rub some bowls and whatever to fuck you want to do cool yeah ain't gonna make you money
Starting point is 00:36:12 now if you get your five critical task done. Yeah. And then you want to go rub mud all over your body and fucking sun your butt hole or whatever it is the fuck you guys do. Like, do it. Yeah, crew.
Starting point is 00:36:24 But that ain't gonna make, that ain't gonna fix your bank account, bro. It ain't gonna fix your business. Okay. Oh man. I love it, dude. It's the truth. I love it.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Bro, how much retard is shit do we hear on the end? It's so, it's so much out there. Like, that was the thing that I can't stand when people are at. Like, watch your fucking morning routine. What difference does it make? What difference does it make?
Starting point is 00:36:44 What difference doesn't make? My warning routine probably wouldn't work for you. The difference doesn't make. All that matters is did you do your shit and did you do it well and did you do it in a way that's undeniably better than anybody else? And did you do it long enough? And if you do those things, you're going to fucking win. If you don't, you can hum in the corner and rub the bowls and put the mud all over you and fucking sit in ice bath with 15 other dudes and cry. You can do all this shit and you're still going to fucking lose.
