REAL AF with Andy Frisella - 223. Pressure To Productivity

Episode Date: January 29, 2022

In today's episode, Andy talks about how society will push you towards comfort to keep you from realizing your full potential, how you can become comfortable being uncomfortable, and why you should welcome pressure and turn it into productive action.

What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realest, say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness and delusionsusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today we have a real talk, okay? This is basically where I turn on the mic and I say what's on my fucking mind, all right? And that's what I'm going to do for you guys today. But before I do that, I'd like to remind you of the fee, okay? The fee is very simple. If it made you think, if it taught you something, if it made you laugh, if it gave you a new

perspective, if you thought it was good, do us a favor and share the show, man. One of my biggest regrets over this last two years has been that I didn't work hard enough to grow my platform and I sort of took it as an extra thing that I do with my life and not as important as I should. And I feel like, dude, had I had a bigger platform, um, I could have maybe influenced a lot more of this bullshit that's been going on for the last two years that has invaded our lives and made it annoying as fuck. But that's neither here nor there. That's why I asked for you guys to share the show and help me grow the show, okay? Look, today I want to talk about something that has been on my mind lately as I observe the current climate in terms of what's socially acceptable when it comes to success and what

people try to do. We live in this world right now where society has conditioned all of us to seek comfort, all right? Fast, easy, automatic, free, low stress, relax, heal, take your time, no big deal, everything's okay. And the problem with that is that it's all about instant gratification. Okay. And we're grooming society is grooming our citizens and you to look at life as if it's no big deal, as if everything should be easy, as if everything should be quick and fast and you should get the benefits today. And that's just not reality. And the problem with this guys is that we constantly find ourselves looking for the easiest way to get somewhere. And what that does

is, and this is what I want. This is the point that I want to get across to you guys. Okay. What it does is it makes us seek comfort over seeking pressure. All right. You cannot develop the skills that you're going to need to build the life that you want without being comfortable, being uncomfortable in the pressure. All right. The pressure that comes from you trying to do great things and you trying to become great and you trying to build a great life is what actually is going to force you to develop the skills needed to build those things. Okay. So the danger here, when you hear these things over and over and over and over again about, you know, free, easy, fast, no effort, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. The reason that you hear this shit is because they can't sell you this. Hey, guess what?

It's going to be hard as fuck. It's going to take a long fucking time. And you're probably going to want to quit every motherfucking day for the next 10 years. They can't sell you that. All right. No one can write a program and say, Hey, here's a program for $997 and it's called hard as fuck. No one can sell that to you. So you have to be aware and you have to be smart that there's a lot of people who have hijacked the reality of what it takes to succeed for their own benefit in their own pocketbooks. And this is bad for you. All right. The whole reason I ever started doing this show was because I knew that I had learned things that other people weren't privileged enough to learn because I had a father who happened to be an entrepreneur.

He taught me a lot of different things growing up. And one of the things that he taught me that has been the most important thing, I think in terms of my personal success that I want to share with you is to embrace the pressure. All right. Pressure creates diamonds. That's what you have to understand. If you constantly work to avoid the pressure, to avoid the conflict, to avoid the serious problems that are in your life, you could never actually do the critical thinking necessary in order for you to come up with the solutions to those problems. And in the solutions to those problems is the skill set that you start to develop that allows you to address things at a better rate moving forward. So for those of you guys who are young and those of you guys who are

young in the game and you constantly find yourself looking at things and saying, man, that is a huge problem, right? You're standing out at the bottom of this mountain and you're looking at the top and you're like, fuck dude, I don't have any sales. I don't know how I'm going to build this business. I don't know how I'm going to get fit. I don't know how I'm going to do this. And you're looking at the top of the mountain. There's only one answer to that guys. And it's real simple. It's one step at a time. If you're willing to accept that and you're willing to understand that, and you're willing to go on that journey, you are so far ahead of most people because most people just look at the mountain and they keep fucking walking. And they say, that's for someone else, or that's too hard, or that's going to take

too much time or that shit. And then what they do is they go try to find a fake mountain and you know, that has an escalator and stand on the top of it, take a picture and post on fucking Instagram and act like they made it. That's not real shit. Okay. So for those of you guys who are out there right now, and you hear people in your life telling you, Oh, you need to take it easy. Oh, you need to do this. Oh, you need to not worry about this. Or you need to not concern yourself with that. Or you're working too hard.

Or what do you think? You're too good for us? All this shit that we hear when we set out on a journey that is abnormal to the rest of the world, we are always going to question ourselves. And what I want you to take from me and what I want you to take from this show is that those people, I can tell you from experience that tell you that will be the same motherfuckers that are asking you for a job 10 years down the road. Okay. You have to remember that you have to understand that. Okay. So don't be afraid of solving problems. Don't have anxiety about pressure.

Welcome pressure. Start to take the pressure that you feel from what it is you want to do and turn that into productive action. All right. Let it move you. Let it push you. Let it be the thing that makes you get where you want to go when everybody else is just taking it easy, eating motherfucking bonbons, watching fucking bullshit on TV. Okay. So guys recognize that that message that you hear of easy, fast, convenient, quick, et cetera, instant, you know, overnight million. Those are all stories for the fucking sheep Are you a sheep? No, you're not a sheep or you wouldn't be listening to this fucking show Because as far as I know i'm one of the only people out there if not the only one

No, i'm not the only one. There's a couple others that are actually telling you this is going to be hard as fuck Okay, let the sheep believe all that shit. Let them buy those programs. Let them go to those seminars. Let them, you know, do what they're going to do. And don't concern yourself with where they are because they are going to pretend to be way ahead of you when in reality you're chipping away, chipping away, chipping away, building a real foundation that you'll be able to stand tall and stand proud and stand profitable on. All right. So stop paying attention to the sheet messaging and start understanding that if you want to build a championship life, if you want to build a life

that at the end of you're going to be completely and utterly fulfilled and happy and excited that you fucking executed upon and proud that you built that, you have to understand that that easy, quick nonsense is made for the fucking sheep and the sheep never fucking win. All right. So here's a piece of advice for you. When you see all these people running one direction, run the other direction. Okay. When you see everybody going for the new shiny thing, go to the old thing. All right. These are rules that have served me well. These are rules that have helped me win. These are rules that have literally built the life that I am really proud of, especially for only being at it for 20 something years. Okay. We've done things that 50 year old companies haven't done. The only way I've been able to achieve that guys is by embracing the pressure,

by understanding that it's not for everybody. Understanding that that pressure that I'm feeling day in and day out over time, over years is the thing that has given me the skills that allow me to operate at a competitive advantage now. All right. So stop buying the bullshit. Stop believing the hype. It's going to, you're going to have to pay your dues. It's going to take time and it's going to be hard as fuck. If you could accept that, if you could understand that there is nothing out here,

there's nothing, nothing out here that can stop you from getting where you want to go. Guys. And on the way on this journey that you've chosen for your life, you are going to see people who are somehow mystically further ahead than you. And you're going to see them and you're going to think, man, they got lucky or man, you know, they had rich parents or man, you know what they have. I had all that same thoughts. I had all those same feelings growing

through my business. Okay. I was always bitter that everybody else who I knew I worked harder than was ahead of me. I was bitter as fuck about it, but here's the thing that you need to know that time when you're struggling, when you're grinding and you see all these people seemingly win quick and easy and fast, they're not building any real skills. There will come a day when you're grinding and you see all these people seemingly win quick and easy and fast, they're not building any real skills. There will come a day when you not only catch these people, but you beat their fucking asses in a competition because you went through this hard time that develops all the skills that you're going to need. So don't look at these people and think they're lucky. They are not lucky. They don't even know what they're doing and they're going to need. So don't look at these people and think they're lucky. They are not lucky. They don't even know what they're doing. And they're going through life pretending to be

successful, making you feel like shit when you're actually the one out here building real skills that will stop their motherfucking throats at the end of the day. So stop looking at the pressure as a bad thing and start jumping right in the middle of it when you have the day. So stop looking at the pressure as a bad thing and start jumping right in the middle of it when you have the opportunity. This goes for if you own a business, it goes for if you work in a business, it goes for any situation in life because people that are willing to adjust and adapt to the pressure and then solve the problems within the pressure because that's what creates pressure, right? There's problems that need to be solved and there's a timeline and then there's some urgency. And a lot of people don't like that because they think it's uncomfortable.

Real champions, that's their time to shine. This is why we see Hall of Fame quarterbacks time after time, after time, after time, win games with 13 seconds left to go. All right. It's the pressure where champions thrive. And if you want a championship life, you are going to have to get comfortable jumping into the pressure when every other motherfucker jumps out.
