And if you do fuck off yeah so
what i pronounce a few words wrong here and there yeah so what you can't read so what i so what you
got a face for audio what so what you stole a bike all right let's get serious now let's do it man this is the serious part of the show we're
getting better today yep mom are you out of retirement all right guys guys andy question
number one i got three good ones for you, as always. Let's dive into these.
Andy, question number one.
I have a real question for you.
My goal is to raise a human that thinks outside the box, who works for every dime he makes and appreciates and values money. He had a great idea to pull weeds and help people bring their garbage bins to the road and back up to their house every week to make money to put into his own bank account.
I obviously would be there to help him as he is still a young child.
I posted about it on our town page and have received a lot of backlash for it.
Here's why. He's four years old.
But this was his idea. and i am just there to help
him and support him and not knock his ideas my question is do you think this is too young or do
you think i'm raising an entrepreneur and should keep trying to help him how how how young is too
young for entrepreneurship i i just think it's interesting that it's okay for a four-year-old
to choose their fucking gender but it's not okay for a four-year-old to embody the principles and
the cultural guidelines of becoming a capitalist entrepreneur which is what it takes to survive
and succeed here in this country that's interesting you know so here's my advice to you
tell those neighbors to eat a fucking dick that's what i know so here's my advice to you tell those neighbors
to eat a fucking dick that's what i tell them and i would continue to raise your son uh the way that
you feel he needs to be raised which if you're asking me and i'm no parent but uh i'm gonna guess
i think that's a great thing i think you're teaching them exceptional value system.
I think you're teaching them the actual rules of the world,
not the fake idealistic rules of the world,
which so many parents teach their kids.
Their kids grow up.
They get out in the real world.
They can't figure out why nothing that they do works in the real world
because their parents and their teachers and their aunts and their uncles
and everybody they've known has taught this fake version of reality to them, which is you were born,
you breathe air, therefore you are entitled to the best possible life ever. And if you don't get it,
you should go protest. That is not reality. That person will fail 100 times out of 100.
And if you are a parent raising your kid and not teaching them the reality and the tools
and the guidelines and the value system that it takes to become successful in reality,
you are failing as a parent.
Okay?
So to all the parents that are yip yapping at you, tell them to eat shit.
Okay?
Be a leader. Don't let these people group
raise your kids look around at the world has group raising the kids by these crazy far left
liberal fucking middle class white women who've got something to say about every motherfucking
thing that we do has that worked out has that Has that worked out good? Do we think that's
working? Because I don't think that it is. Because we got grown adults bringing their
fucking parents to job interviews now. Okay. We got people who are in their twenties and mid
twenties screaming and pouting and crying about how come they can't get a job when they got their
whole face tattooed and they got 50,000 piercings in their fucking face. There is a reality. And then there is idealism. And most parents these days teach their kids
idealism. They teach their kids the way it should be, not the way it is. And if you want to win,
you got to play the way it is. So I think that's awesome that you're doing that. I would spend
way more time doing things like that than listening to the fucking crowd who all their
kids are wondering if they should like cut off their fucking genitals, right? And your kids
actually out here operating in reality, learning the, you know, the do's and don'ts of how to become
a functional and successful man. I was raised very similarly to what you are doing with your
child. I was taught from a very young age that things
aren't fair i was taught that if i wanted things i had to work uh i wasn't given bikes and toys
and shit like that i was told hey here's something to do to do that you can wash car you can clean
the yard you can rake the leaves you can go door to door selling shit yeah these are this principle
yes bro and i did that from a very
young age, which is why the fuck I am here now. And while you may not want to be where I am,
that's okay. But those principles still apply and you can take them as far as you want.
Okay. So by no means, by saying that someone has to be an entrepreneur, but what I am saying
is that those values are consistent with anything you want to do in life. Joe has a
multi-platinum, what do you have, two platinum records? Okay. As an audio producer, did you get
that by being lazy as fuck? Did you get that by someone giving that to you? Bro, my dad started
jujitsu three years ago. He's kicking ass. He's winning tournaments. He shows up every day and
works hard. That is the reality of winning.
You have to show up every day.
You have to work hard.
And eventually you gain skills.
And then you start winning.
And these parents, like the ones in your little town's Facebook group,
who are raising a bunch of fucking loser kids that ain't going to do shit in their lives,
should have zero bearing on how you raise your kid.
Stop asking for validation from fucking weak-ass parents.
And start being the strong-ass parent and be an example,
and maybe they will join you.
Stop asking these crazy fucks for their opinion.
They're so, not only that,
these are the same people that insert their opinion
on everybody's shit.
I don't know about you,
but I think that if you're going to insert your opinion
on everybody's stuff,
you should have your own shit together, right? Why is it like when everybody says they're going to have a kid all the
other fucking moms decide to chirp in and tell them how to raise their kids when their kids are
shit why why why when someone says i'm going to get in shape all these fat people talk about
what they shouldn't shouldn't do to get in shape. These are low IQ people that you're asking for their approval.
So what does that make you?
What does it make you when you ask low IQ people for their validation and approval?
Think about that.
It makes you dumb as fuck.
Okay?
So you're doing a good job.
I know you've never been a parent before.
I haven't either.
But what I know about being raised by good parents
is that you're teaching your children the right shit and you should feel good about that you're
being a leader you're being a parent you're not being the best friend you're teaching them reality
and that's what the fuck this is about i just keep thinking about like when that kid turns 18
and then the other little kids in the neighborhood turn 18 like he's gonna run he's gonna be running he's gonna run him over dude bro listen dude that is the game right now if you are a young
person and you are fucking 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 you're in that age range if you have
any understanding of reality as i just explained it, meaning go, learn the lessons, get better, go, make mistakes, learn the lessons, get better, and you're willing to do that, you're going to crush everybody.
Everybody.
Because they've been raised by idealistic parents who don't know shit and even worse, think they know it all.
I've never understood how people can look around
at their fucking bullshit life and think they know anything.
And they're the authority of a parent.
How?
How can you be the authority on fucking, on anything
when your life looks like dog shit?
How are you the authority on parents when your kids are turds?
Okay, and they play video games all day.
How are you the authority on fucking anything, bro?
You look like shit.
You make no money.
Your household's a wreck.
Your kids suck.
But you're on Facebook telling other people how to parent their fucking kids.
Fuck you.
Raise your kids the way you think you should raise them.
I love it.
I love it.
I would do more shit.
Bro, if I was a...
You know why God never gave me kids?
Because I'd kill all those parents, bro.
Dude, they'd come up to me and they'd say, you know?
And I'd be like, shut the fuck up.
Would I? You would. Yeah would yeah you would fuck away from me
I would even do more man do fucking like when it snows put them out there with a shovel
Lemonade stands all of that shit man. Yeah, and if you really wanted to be winners, bro
I got a tool for that by the way
I got some of the best-selling kids books in the whole fucking world and you know what they're about
They're about how to become an operator and an effective person in reality as an entrepreneur. And I built
these books and got these books together for you because I know that a lot of parents are confused
about what to teach their kids. So every book is a story about my actual bulldogs, Otis and Charlie,
and them going through life,
learning the lessons that your kids are going to need to learn to become successful, effective,
fulfilled individuals, impactful individuals in their life.
So there's a little plug for that.
You can get them at andyforsella.com.
I love it, man.
God, that pisses me off, dude.
Yeah.
Like, why is it?
It's always the same fucking people.
It's the same people.
You know what I'm saying?
They don't have shit going for them,
but they got the fucking biggest mouth in the world on the internet.
We're telling parents that they're raising their kids wrong because they're
teaching them reality,
bro.
Dude,
how do you think this country was built?
This country was built by fucking parents raising their kids on work ethic
and and how to show up every day even when you don't want to and like i'm i'm fucking over it
yeah fucking losers dude that's what it is man uh guys any question number two
andy i hope this message finds you and the team well it It does. I like that start. That's a nice start.
That's a polite start.
That's very polite.
Yeah, I like it.
I am aware of my purpose and make an effort every day to pursue that.
However, I find myself in moments of self-sabotage.
Though they are brief, they can be extremely careless and later on affect my productivity or ability
to do certain things or activities. More specifically, my bank account tends to take
a nosedive due to bad decision making. While it may be on a smaller level and have less consequences
now, what are some ways to stop myself from spending unnecessary money when I know ultimately
most of these choices I am making do not benefit
me in the long term or even short term. Most of the time, I feel like an enemy of myself.
Self-sabotage. You got anything on that? What's your thoughts on that?
You know, I've never really understood what self-sabotage means or what people
mean when they talk about it. Like it never made sense to me. self-sabotage. Like, are we talking about procrastination?
Are we talking about just bad decision-making?
I mean, like, what are we talking about?
I think it's like the awareness that you're making bad decisions,
you still fucking make them.
So why would you do that?
Right.
No, I'm being serious.
Like, if I know something's wrong and it's a fucking bad decision,
why would you do that?
Why would you do that i i've
never connected with that yeah you know i'm not saying i make every decision the right way i made
a lot of bad ones but i you didn't make them knowing they were bad i mean there's been a few
times yeah but like dude that was just me becoming a mature human being right growing out of that
phase of understanding that like really what it came down to for me,
dude, was I started to understand like, this is my life and it's now, it's not, I'm not going to
be here forever. I'm not going to have forever to start making the right decisions. So I need
to start making them right now. And, um, you know, that honestly took me until I was about 35,
36 years old to figure that out. Uh, had I figured that out when I was in my 20s, I'd be much further along. But I think the best thing that you can do is to always keep in mind, here's what I think.
I think that people make decisions that are poor in the short term and the long term because they
are not clear and they are not focused consistently on what they are trying to achieve.
I think most people don't put enough planning into who they want to become, what they want to build,
what they want to create, what kind of life they want to live. And because they can't clearly see
it, they don't have the ability to make the decisions that put them in that spot. So whether
it's through ignorance or whether it's through a lack of discipline or whether it's through just not
having that image in your brain all the time, they make the wrong decisions. And so we have to,
you know, solve those three areas, right? If it's ignorance, it's not, you know, you know that
you're making the wrong decision. That's why you're asking.
Okay. So it's not ignorance. Is it lack of discipline? Could be. How disciplined are you?
How able are you to make the correct decision to where you want to go even when you don't feel like making that decision? Okay. You got to be honest about that. And if you aren't able to make
the decision that you know you need to make then that's a
discipline problem and you got to work on developing discipline which is the purpose
of the live hard program which you can get for free at episode 208 okay and then the third thing
is lack of vision and clarity and focus on what you're trying to become if you don't know what
you're trying to become how can you make the right decisions to get you to there you see what i'm
saying and i think that those three things are the things that you should probably try to work out within yourself. Okay. Am I ignorant?
I don't think so. Cause you're asking the question, do I lack discipline? I think you do
because otherwise you would, it sounds like you're aware that you're making the wrong decisions as
you're making them. All right. So if you're making wrong decisions and you're aware you're making
wrong decisions as you make them, that means you're lacking discipline to make the proper decision.
So you can work on that and you can build that.
Discipline, grit, fortitude, self-belief, self-esteem, these things are all tied together.
And you have to practice them in order for them to get better.
It's just like a muscle.
If you work out your arms, your arms are going to get stronger.
If you work out your discipline, your discipline is going to get stronger.
So I would practice on that.
And then the lack of clarity. Where do you want to go? What are you trying to do?. If you work out your discipline, your discipline is going to get stronger. So I would practice on that. And then the lack of clarity.
Where do you want to go?
What are you trying to do?
Who are you trying to become?
What kind of life are you trying to live?
If you keep that in mind all the time,
it makes it that much easier
to make the proper decision to get there.
You're saying when you know what your goal,
your end goal is,
the decisions you microly make
should all be aligned to that.
Yeah, brother. Every decision that you make. This is the thing. microly make should all be aligned to that. Yeah, brother.
Every decision that you make.
This is the thing.
See, younger people think they have all the time in the world.
Yeah.
And when you get to be a little bit older, like in your 30s,
you start to realize you don't.
And then when you get in your 40s, you're like,
oh, fuck, I don't have that much time left.
So your urgency to make the right decisions increases,
but your time and the ability to produce that result decreases.
So you want to
figure this out as early as possible in your life bro had i figured out what i'm talking about right
now when i was in my 20s fuck bro it would my life would be completely different right and i'm not
saying it's bad i've done a lot with what i've got another regret state no i'm not saying that
i'm just saying i'd be a lot further along which is the goal right um so yeah man i think it's we i think it comes down to those three things you know are you
ignorant to to what you're trying to do do you do you even know right and can you make the decision
even when you don't want to make it if not build your discipline up do you know where you're trying
to go are you focused on that all the time
and and then dude we have to understand that our decisions that every decision we make for me to
what every meal i eat every exercise i choose to do every post i make or everything i say
these things either move me forward closer to where i'm trying to be or further away there is no neutral
moves it's what's this decision going to do is this decision going to move me
further to where I'm trying to be or further away from where I'm trying to be
and if you can learn to have that level awareness on a micro scale combined with
discipline you know that's where you get in the sweet spot of being a very
effective in your life I love that that. I want to ask you this too, because this person touched on this, you know, having specifically
issues when it comes to money.
And I know for you, you know, it's been, you've become disciplined financially because you
were in situations where you had no other options, right?
Like, I mean, that's just what it was.
And then those skills that you learned that it kind of just overflowed to when you started having money.
Do you is there a difference for for people, I guess, you know, who like yourself went through that same process versus people who, you know, never had to really worry about that?
And so are they more frugal? Like, how do you develop that that discipline if you never really had the, I guess, the quote unquote struggle part of it?
I don't know because I was never one of those people.
Yeah.
I always had to watch my money.
And remember when you and I talked about this.
You know, and I had a talk with DJ, I don't know, a while back.
A couple of months ago.
Yeah.
About the importance of having and developing money skills when you don't have a lot of money,
right? Because people think that if they earn, earn, earn, earn, earn, that they will just have
lots of money, but that's not what happens. What happens is, is whatever discipline that you have
around money when you don't have any carries into the situation when you have more. So if you
develop good financial habits when you are, let's say, making less money
or struggling and it's lean times, right?
That's a great time to develop the financial skills
that you need because then as you get more money,
you are more disciplined in your system of income
and bills and cashflow.
As bad as it sucks.
Yeah, it's just way better to develop
when we don't have money.
And it's not the idea that people think
they're gonna make more money
and they're gonna change their habits is not true
because if you lack discipline with a little money,
you're really gonna fucking lack it when you have a lot.
You're gonna be giving it away,
you're gonna be spending on dumb shit,
you're gonna be doing this and people could say to me,
oh, you're the one with all these cars and shit.
Yeah, motherfucker, I make money on my cars right that's like stocks my shit
goes up you know what i'm saying yeah so it's just you know develop the habits now and as you go
they'll get you know you'll be in a much better spot yeah i love it i love it guys andy our
thought-provoking question number three.
Andy, I've been a fan for a little over a year now, and you are one of the biggest influences for my personal development.
I love listening to the show and getting your take on things. My question is, Andy, how do you deal with adverse circumstances?
It seems as of late in my personal life, I am inundated with choices and situations that conflict with my interests.
I have a full-time job that pays the bills, but I'm also putting in what free time I have to woodwork.
I've made some outdoor furniture for friends and family and have been told that I could possibly sell some of it.
Since receiving this...
Hold on. Let's stop this.
What do you mean you've been told you could sell something?
No shit you could sell something no shit
You could sell some of it make some good shit and people will buy it
You don't need people to tell you that you're fucking qualified bro. I'm gonna stop you right there
Keep practicing and make some cool shit go so do you know what the common theme is with all the questions we get here
It always has to do with getting validation from outside motherfuckers. You do not need them to believe in you
You do not need your friends to tell you you're great.
All you have to do is go become great
and they will recognize it.
You don't have to fucking get a permission
from Fat Susie Homemaker over here
at your fucking PTA meeting
on how to raise your kid.
You don't need permission from Bob the Builder
to become a fucking woodworker.
You don't need permission, motherfuckers.
Stop framing your questions that way. I'm going to make funny every time you fucking do it.
You don't need nobody. Nobody ever came to me and said, Andy, you have what it takes to become a
successful entrepreneur or Andy, you have what it takes to build multiple successful podcasts.
Actually, I got told I was a fucking idiot. Actually, I got told that I couldn't do shit. Actually, I got told I should get a real job. Actually,
I got told that I wasn't capable of any of the things that I've done. I'm not trying to do them.
I've done them. Okay. If I went around and fucking asked people what I could and couldn't do,
I'd be sitting in the same spot I was 20 fucking years ago. So it i'll die proceed with your question oh man
but they say uh since receiving these uh these comments and compliments i've started to shift
my focus to start selling my projects um since making this shift it seems like the world's
against me uh once i get off work i go straight to the uh to building i only have a couple of
hours every day during the week to get stuff done.
I bank on the weekends to get the majority of my work done, but it never fails that something else always comes up,
whether it's birthday parties, company parties, date night, obligations,
lawn care, property maintenance, and even other bullshit,
like I break a tool or someone stops by the house randomly
or calls to talk and bullshit.
Does this, has this ever happened
to you nah man you know what i wake up every day everything goes exactly as i planned nothing wrong
ever happens it's smooth as fuck and i just make all kinds of money bro this is super unique
listen dude it's just you and honestly if i were you i'd just quit because it sounds like the whole
world's against you man fucking tools break people break. People call you on the phone.
Who the fuck calls someone on the phone?
Oh, you got to mow your yard?
Fuck, bro.
That's a disadvantage.
I'm sorry.
This happens to everybody, bro.
It's hard.
It's not easy.
Every day you wake up, you're going to have shit go wrong.
Every day you wake up, you're going to have bad things happen.
How you need to look at this as a fucking test.
It's a test. Do you
pass the test or do you not pass
the test? You need to fucking, when you have
a bad day, bro, you wake up
and fucking, everything's going
wrong. And by the way, none of that shit is,
that's called life. That's not even hard
shit, bro. What are you going to do when
hard shit happens?
Okay?
You're talking about life. Oh, my wife called me. Oh God, I'm fucking
going to die. Like what the fuck, dude? That's life. There's going to be distractions. Your job
is to fucking discipline yourself to a point where these distractions don't pull you off track or you're able to manage them. Okay. But
ultimately here's the reality. It's never going to go your way. It's never going to be easy.
There are always going to be things that break. There are always going to be things that go wrong.
And your job is to get through this regardless of what comes your way and the best perspective that you can take is to fucking look at it like a test
Okay, when I wake up in the morning, I already know and by the time I wake up in the morning
I've already got 40 fucking texts on my phone at least. Okay, and do you think any of those texts are good?
Not a single one of them is like hey Andy. I love you, bro
I hope you have a good day Every one of them wants something from me every one of them needs an answer from me
Every one of them is a problem to solve by the time I get out of fucking bed
You know what I'd say when I got out of bed. I'm the baddest motherfucker on the planet doesn't matter what happens today
It doesn't matter if there's a fucking fire earthquake or tornado or the fucking heavens rain down,
fire and brimstone on my motherfucking face. I'm getting my shit done. Okay. And I passed the test.
And that's the difference between people who lose and people who win. They have a mentality
that you are not going to fucking touch me. You are not going to throw me off track. And it doesn't
matter if it takes until three o'clock in the morning, my list of shit gets done every motherfucking day. This is why live hard is such
a good program for people like you, because if you actually do it the way it's laid out,
it'll take care of all these problems that you have in terms of all these little distractions.
It's absurd, bro. What do you think it's like? Do you really think
that all these people that went out and built all this shit drive up and down your street?
Fucking KFC, one of the greatest fucking success stories of all time. Colonel Sanders didn't get
his fucking chicken recipe in any stores till he was after 60 years old. He got his balls kicked in for 60 fucking years.
You're complaining about mowing the grass and going to birthday parties.
Okay. Drive up and down the street and look at all the shit that everybody's built.
Do you really fucking think they did that with no distractions? Do you really think they did
that with no hard times? Do you really think they did that without breaking a fucking tool?
Get the fuck out of here, bro
This shit's hard if it was easy everybody be doing it everybody have the biggest furniture company on the planet
You got an opportunity in front of you because you have a skill set
You should hone that skill set in and become great at what you do and then become great as a human
Meaning effective.
Meaning I can work through these things as they happen.
And you'll get there, dude.
But I'm going to tell you this.
What you're going through, everybody goes through.
And probably worse.
That sounds like some weak-ass shit.
I'm not trying to be an asshole.
Okay?
That's life.
You're dealing with life.
Yeah, that's just a Tuesday, bro.
Yeah.
I love it, man. i just it's like fuck guys
i love you guys man i want you to win but fuck you know yeah we got we got changed that mindset
dude it's a test you're the baddest motherfucker on the planet nothing's gonna stop you who the
fuck's gonna stop you i don't care what they say i don't care what they have to what they post on
the internet i don't fucking care all i know is that I keep taking steps forward shit happens good shit
That's all you got to do. Just keep
Moving doesn't matter
Nothing else matters, bro. Not dude. That's the thing the thing about this whole game is
that nothing else
matters Other than what you do. Okay. People think
there's like this outside circumstance that controls success. I used to think this too,
by the way. And they think like they're going to need approval from somebody who's credible.
You know, I used to think like the success fairy flies down from the universe
and taps people on the head.
And I used to think like, I wonder if I'll get to be one of these successful people.
And it's just the wrong way.
It's just not what it is.
And once you climb the mountain or climb a few mountains,
you look back and you're like, that's all it took.
Like when I bought my first Lamborghini, bro, it was 2012, 2011. And owning a Lamborghini was a
huge thing for me. Huge, huge, huge, huge, huge, massive thing for me. And when I got it,
Sal was with me when I got it. I mean, it was awesome. It was fucking surreal, dude. It was one of the coolest experiences I'll
never forget in my life. But in that instance, I realized what I'm telling you today, which is
all it is, is showing up every day, doing the shit you know you're supposed to do,
going to bed and repeating that as long as it takes
and making sure that no distractions,
no bullshit, no people,
nothing gets in your fucking way.
You have to have the attitude of a fucking warrior
to become successful.
It is not easy.
It is not for everybody.
It takes more than what everybody else is trying to give which is why nobody else has it
Okay, but if you can teach yourself to be disciplined and you can teach yourself to not quit and
You can learn the lessons along the way from the shit that you fuck up
You cannot lose as long as you keep going you will get where where you want to go. If you fucking have the ability to persevere,
you have the discipline to do the things you want to do when you don't want to do them,
and you have the ability to keep going no matter how long it takes, okay?
That's called passing the test.
I'm passing a test today.
What did I say to you right before I walked in today?
Right before we got in there, what did I say to you guys today What did I say to you right before I walked in today? Right before we got in there, what did I say to you guys?
What did I say?
I said I felt like fucking shit today
Slept bad
Yeah, I slept terrible
I fucking threw up in my fucking sleep last night
Because I got acid reflux
Right?
I fucking didn't get an hour of sleep today
You know what though?
I'm beating shit's ass today
I just killed it in a workout. I'm killing it on this
podcast. I'm about to go kill it and everything else I do. And when I go to bed, it won't matter
that I fucking felt like shit. It'll be an A plus productive day. So if you could take all the days
that you feel like shit or all the days that you're distracted or all the days you're pissed
off, you don't feel like doing it and you you make those A-plus productive days, how the fuck can you lose?
The answer is you can't.
Okay?
So start looking at these things differently.
This is a test that you need to pass.
And there will be tests every day that you need to pass.
And the more tests you pass, the easier it is to pass them.
That's the truth.
And that's how you need to look at it.
I love it, man.
I absolutely love it.
Guys, Andy, that was three.
Yeah.
Go pay the fee.
