I'm down, man, I'm touch your eyeballs on the shopping bags. Yeah, no. All right, man. I'm down man I'm right. Well, I got three good ones for you You do let's knock them out. All right guys
Starting point is 00:07:52 How does anyone listen to anything I say after that? Man, this guy's laying down some knowledge Yeah, I guarantee you Google searches for red hot Goes through the roof right now All right, let's get better man guys any question number one Andy I'm a 25 year old business owner Just getting started and I have a lot of people wanting to give me advice and help me in any way possible from friends the family the business owners a Popular topic always gets brought up and is this,
Starting point is 00:08:27 stay as small as you can for as long as you can. I listen to what they have to say, but I don't agree with that statement at all. My goals are much larger than to stay small forever. I wanna grow, expand and employ people because I believe in myself to take this time and make it really successful for not only me But other people who want a career in this sector that statement lingers in my head over and over a few close friends of mine Have said it the bigger you are the more headaches. What's your thoughts on all of this?
Starting point is 00:08:58 How do you what what is the proper advice here? The proper thing to do is to never listen anybody who hasn't done what the fuck you want to do. Okay. You guys mess yourselves up because you go out and you ask everybody who's never been there, who's never created anything, who's never built anything. And you ask them what they think. What the fuck do you think they're going to say? They have no idea. That's like asking someone the best place to eat in China. That's never been to fucking China, bro. They don't know. So you have to start qualifying who you're asking advice from. If they don't live the life that you want to live,
Starting point is 00:09:34 don't listen to what they have to say. If you do listen to what they have to say and you take it to heart and you go to do your thing or create or build your business around what somebody who's never built a business has to say, whether that be your mom, your dad, your brother, your cousins, your aunt, your uncles, all these motherfuckers come out of the woodwork like they've done this shit and they haven't. Okay. And if you listen to them, you will be like them. All right. That is it. So why are you listening to people who have never done the thing it is you want to do? Why would you do that? It's it's literally it makes
Starting point is 00:10:10 you stupid as fuck. Okay. That means you're stupid. Secondly, I think you're misunderstanding what people are saying. Okay. I don't think they're saying to you, and maybe they are because maybe your friends and family are just that fucking dumb. But I don't think they're saying to you, and maybe they are because maybe your friends and family are just that fucking dumb, but I don't think they're saying to you stay small forever. I think what they're saying to you is, and this is what I would say to you, is to keep your lifestyle small, keep your bill small, stay agile and be able to pivot quickly. The biggest advantage that you're gonna have as a small business is your ability to pivot
Starting point is 00:10:50 and make moves quick when you're competing against bigger companies. Bigger companies, when they try to pivot and make moves and change things, that's like turning around a fucking cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, okay? It takes a minute. For you, it's like a jet ski.
Starting point is 00:11:05 You can just fucking turn, and that's where you're able to, your advantage is a smaller business. You don't have the employees, you don't have the experience, you don't have the knowledge, but you're agile, and you're quick, and you're able to make adjustments fast,
Starting point is 00:11:19 which allows you to pay attention to what bigger companies are doing, see them start to make the adjustment. You pivot right away. And you actually beat them to it. Okay. So this fluidity and agility is a massive advantage for someone who's running a smaller company against people who are running bigger companies. And that's something to think about. Okay. That's a good advantage for staying small. But to your point,
Starting point is 00:11:44 you're not going gonna always be small. You're gonna wanna employ people. You're gonna wanna grow business. And you know, to make a lot of fucking money, bro, you gotta have a pretty big fucking business. That's reality. So I'm assuming that the reason that you're in this is because you wanna be financially successful.
Starting point is 00:11:59 And you're right, you're gonna need employees and you're gonna need to scale and you're gonna need to grow and you're gonna to need, um, to scale and you're going to need to grow and you're going to need, you know, line extensions of your products and all these different things, integrations, those things will come. But as they come, you should always try to maintain the agility and the ability to pivot of a small company. Okay. One of the best things about the companies that I'm involved in is that we don't do corporate hierarchy bullshit. Okay. We work really hard. And some of it you can't avoid because you're going to have to have systems, you're going to have to have, you know, procedures. But the more of that shit that you have, the less agility you have, which means the slower it is for you to move. So and this is like the government
Starting point is 00:12:45 This is why the government sucks. All right, they have the That's a whole nother time. We'll talk about that tomorrow. But the point is is that Becoming a bigger company and maintaining the idea of small agile Quick to pivot is really the success recipe that you need to have. So That's what I would say to that. Keep your bills small, keep your lifestyle small as long as possible. Okay. And I did that like broke, like people who become successful, dude, they, they don't just like make their
Starting point is 00:13:18 first million bucks and go out and buy a fucking house or a car or this or that they reinvest that and they roll it over again and again and again and again and again and again and eventually They're they're buying cars like like other people are buying fucking candy at the grocery store like they don't give a fuck Okay, and that's where you want to be you want to be to the point where you're not having to really Pay attention to your lifestyle because your business is so big so I think that's the advice I would give you pay attention to your lifestyle because your business is so big. So, um, I think that's the advice I would give you.
Starting point is 00:13:48 But the biggest advice of this whole question is don't listen to fucking people who haven't done what you want to do. Don't listen to them. Don't listen to them for a second. If you have a very good friend or maybe you have a dad or a mom or an uncle who has some business experience, uh, or maybe they don't have any and they're just like, Hey, look, I don't know much about this, but I'll support you anyway. Here's what I learned. I read this and maybe you think about that. That shit you can listen to. That's cool. Yes. Because they're making an effort to try to help. I had a lot of people in my life coming up who,
Starting point is 00:14:26 you know, always gave me advice. And dude, because I didn't know, like I didn't know, I would take it. But they didn't know either. And so I spent all this time making all these mistakes based upon what other people thought that had no idea. So why the fuck would I listen to what they thought when I should just be listening or trying what I I'm more qualified than them. based upon what other people thought, that had no idea. So why the fuck would I listen to what they thought when I should just be listening or trying what I, I'm more qualified than them. I'm in the game. They're not in the game.
Starting point is 00:14:51 You see what I'm saying? And as a young entrepreneur, you know, what'd he say, 25? Yeah, 25 years old. Dude, we've gotta get to the point where we are trusting ourselves. And the way that we learn to trust ourselves is by going out, doing what we think is best, making some mistakes, learning from the mistakes and then continuing down the path. And dude,
Starting point is 00:15:11 like I tell you guys over and over and over again, you really only need a couple of things to be successful long-term. You got to build the grit, the determination, the fortitude to not quit. And you got to be smart enough to learn from your mistakes. Okay, the first time if for sure the second time if you're someone that can make the same mistake seven times, you can't make it in business. It's fucking impossible. But if you're someone that can, you know, make that mistake and then say, all right,
Starting point is 00:15:38 cool. I lost $10,000 today because I made this mistake that lesson cost me $10,000 and then look at it as an investment in your education and then never make that mistake again. Bro, there's no limits to how far you can go. So anyway, don't listen to people who haven't done what it is you want to do ever. They have no fucking clue what they're talking about. And everybody out here on the internet thinks they're some sort of life philosopher or fucking business advisor. How many business advisors and gurus do we have on the internet that never built a fucking company? You can't order their product, you can't see their employees,
Starting point is 00:16:13 you can't see what the fuck they do, but somehow they know everything about business. How many fucking life philosophers do we have on the internet who write all this shit about life and you look at their life and it's a fucking dumpster fire start qualifying who you take advice from it's a major major major skill set that you have to have you cannot fucking take advice from people who are not in a position that you want to be in now there are there is one exception to that if there was someone who was in that position and then lost that position you can listen to that person too. Because that person will give you valuable insight
Starting point is 00:16:47 as to how not to burn your own shit down. I love it. Andy, you described a few times, imagine you're driving the Titanic, right? As the owner operator, you kind of have to look out and see when the icebergs are. When the icebergs are, navigate the boat, right? What would you say was one of those like moments where you had to make that pivot early on in business?
Starting point is 00:17:11 What was like one of those first icebergs you kind of saw and had to? Readjust and you were able to read just because you were smaller Man there's been so many dude, I don't think I can name one. It's just a normal part of business That's like asking someone who is like, how many breaths did you take today? I fucking don't know. You know what I'm saying? Like that's normal shit.
Starting point is 00:17:31 But here's what I will tell you. I will tell you that if you lack the ability to see what is happening in the environment, the business market, whatever it is, whatever game you're playing and where you're playing. If you lack the ability to have foresight and vision as to what's actually coming, and you can't make a plan to navigate through,
Starting point is 00:17:56 you can't do it, dude. You have to be able to look out on the horizon and say, okay, this is happening, this is happening, this is happening, we gotta do this. We gotta move is happening. This is happening. We gotta do this. We gotta move this way and then that way. We gotta zig and then zag at this exact time. That's a huge part of running an organization. And it's a skill that you're gonna learn over time.
Starting point is 00:18:18 It's not something that people are gifted with, but that also comes, dude, with bigger visions, right? A lot of people, dude, here's the truth. A lot of people just shouldn't be entrepreneurs. They want to fucking have a place where they show up every day at 1130 with a fucking Starbucks and they want to stay till two and they want to walk in and they want to look around and they think they're going to make a gazillion dollars. And that's not how the fuck it works, bro. You've got to be able to understand every single element of every single detail of every single product in every single market environment period. And you have to be able to anticipate and you have to be able to see what's coming
Starting point is 00:18:59 and you have to be able to have the confidence to make the move now versus after everybody else has made the move. And that's another thing that entrepreneurs do, bro. It's a me too business. Because entrepreneurship has become so accessible, people run it as like a me too. Okay. And what I mean by that is they see everybody else do something and then they do it and it's all do it, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:21 You're too late. You're too late. You have to be making those moves before everybody else. when you're a small company you could do that quickly Yeah, and and that's a huge advantage. That reminds me in college when our offensive coordinator He was like doing a film study with us one time and he put out the questions like what what makes the quarterback the best quarterback? Right and everybody's like gives it to oh, you got fucking got to fucking throw it long, you got to throw it far. He's like, no, you got to be able to read the defense. That's not even just that.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Read the defense and know when the fucking blitz is coming. That's only part of it, bro. You know what the next best quarterback is? The guy who could fucking read the defense? Yeah, that's a good quarterback. Most people can't, right? But do you know what the next best one is? It's the guy that can run three or four plays in a row to run that fifth play
Starting point is 00:20:07 Okay, so he's running this this dive and then they're running this toss and then they're running this play action And then they're running this and then they run the play they're trying to score on so it's chess Right and business is no different. You're gonna make these little moves That are going to set up the big move that you're trying to make. And that's what makes a great fucking visionary operator. I love it, man. I love it, guys. Andy, question number two.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Andy, I own a commercial cleaning company here in Arizona and now have some of the biggest names in the state as clients. But last year, when I was trying to land bigger clients, I had the opportunity to clean one of the biggest names and brands in the states, and I fucked up the job. But I now have employees, top of the line equipment and confidence to do any job.
Starting point is 00:20:57 So at the start of quarter two, I sent in a handwritten message with a nice bottle of tequila apologizing and asking for another opportunity to work together, but I got no response. Any advice on how I can restore that relationship? Business relationships, are they salvageable? How do you do it?
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah, first of all, they're salvageable. Second of all, when you salvage them, especially when someone is disgruntled with your services and then you exceed what they initially expect expected from you They will actually become a massive advocate for your brand So what I mean by that is this you piss them off now You've got to make it right the your first attempt to make it right didn't work, right? But if you get the opportunity to do it and you do it in an
Starting point is 00:21:43 You exceed their expectations of what they originally had and went so over the tap. Now that person becomes an advocate of you. Now they're telling all their other business buddies, dude, listen, work with this guy, work with that guy, work with this guy. And so when you, when you piss someone off, the ability to make it right is almost worth pissing them off because of how good of an advocate they become when you exceed the expectations of what the job was in the beginning and take an extra step to make it right.
Starting point is 00:22:17 So what I would do is I would instead of writing a letter, I would show up there and I would figure out who the decision maker is and I would say hey Here's the deal. I know I fucked this up. Let me fucking do it for free Let me do it for free. Let me do let me do everything for free and let me show you how I can do it And then when you go in and do it you do it like you if you clean the carpets, bro You also clean their windows and then you go out and wash all their cars. Okay, I'm talking about like Over the top so that they're like, holy shit. Okay. So that's, that's what I would do.
Starting point is 00:22:50 And I would be relentless in my pursuit to have the opportunity to do that. Knowing that the story that it's going to create is going to be beneficial to business. I would not give up on getting that customer back. I would not give up on doing whatever I had to do to make sure that that was right. And I would not give up on creating an amazing experience where they had to tell people how awesome of a job that you did. I was going to ask it like, is there a point where like, okay, it's killer. Didn't work. That didn't work. I mean, do you give up at all?
Starting point is 00:23:17 You kind of answer that. No, no, keep going because eventually you're going to get it and that'll be part of the story. Look, dude The story will be this hey You got to use DJ over here brand the guy fucking clean the carpets But let me tell you something about him the first time he cleaned him. He fucked him up Then he sent me a bottle of tequila I didn't respond then he showed up at my business and he said he'd do it for free then he and I still didn't let him do it.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And then he wouldn't leave me alone for a year. And finally I let him do it, dude, and this is what he did. You got to fucking use him. The guy's relentless. He's, he's, he's the best, most dedicated person I've ever met at this. And that's the, that's the recommendation that you're, you're trying to build here and you're going to build that by inconveniencing yourself until you, you've get done what you're trying to do All right. I don't want to miss this nugget here because I feel like this is also important You're talking about when you over deliver that I Feel like when you when you do that, you're you're also setting a new standard
Starting point is 00:24:17 So how important is it to make sure that like you don't just do really good that one fucking time? Oh, you got to do it. That's the other thing and that's a great point Whatever standard you operate at when you get the second opportunity You have to operate at that standard forever and ever and ever have to so My short straw by the way, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you operate at that standard all the time if you're trying to get referral business? That's how people buy people don't necessarily buy from ads. They buy from word of mouth.
Starting point is 00:24:46 They buy from stories. They use services that their friends use. You wanna own those stories. That's the whole game. So you own those stories, you own those recommendations, your business is gonna grow. Yeah, don't just do it once and be like, all right, we got it.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yeah, that won't work anyway. Yeah. That won't work anyway, because the second time you do it, they're gonna be like, oh, this guy was full of shit. I knew the first time yeah fucking man. Geez. I love it Guys any question number three. Let's get third and final question Guys any question number three? Hey Andy and DJ a huge fan of the podcast and I've been following you in first form for a While now a big fan of the work you're doing. I've read your books in first form for a while now. A big fan of the work you're doing.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I've read your books. Every year, I love to take some time to reflect on past year and set goals for the year ahead. I find this practice really helps me stay focused and motivated, but I'd love to hear your take on it. Do you have any specific strategies or practices you follow when setting goals for the upcoming year? And what's your process for reflecting on the year
Starting point is 00:25:44 that's passed and planning for what's next? Thanks for your time. Really appreciate everything you do and looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I don't operate that way. I don't operate that way. I've never operated that way. I've never sat down at the beginning of the year
Starting point is 00:26:00 and been like, this is what I wanna do this year, or this is what I wanna do next year. My goals are so big that they take multiple years. So like, I don't think of it like that. And when I used to think of it like that, I never achieved any of those things. So I look at it just like I teach you guys, which is this one day at a time. I look at it very simply. This is my goal. This is my huge goal that I'm trying to achieve over the course of my life. Okay. This is, this is who I'm becoming. This is what I'm creating. This is the businesses that I'm going to create. This is the physical shape I'm going to walk around in. This is
Starting point is 00:26:42 the lifestyle I'm going to live. And I fucking lay it all out there. Okay Then I attack it one day at a time Okay, just like I talk about in the podcast win the day which is episode 16 on real af If you go back to episode 16 and real af We talk in depth about this thing called the power list All right And I actually have an app launching for this any day now called the power list. All right. And I actually have a, an app launching for this any day now called the power list app. Okay. And it's a productivity app that lets you do this right there on your phone.
Starting point is 00:27:12 But basically if you go listen to it, it'll explain to you the productivity system that I have used for the last 25 years to build my life. So understand this huge life, huge business, bad-ass physical condition, awesome lifestyle, all of these things go into what I want. Okay. And then I back that down into a day by day by day system. And then I just look at it. Did I win today? Did I win? Do I win tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:27:49 Do I win the next day? And I don't think of it as this massive thing. I just think of it as, you know, one day at a time. And dude, that is the only way you can fucking win. And it's by the way, the only way that you can guarantee success. You cannot fucking lose if you win every day. You can't lose. There is no X factor.
Starting point is 00:28:11 There is no magic. There is no, you know, fucking failure villain that's going to come in and fuck your shit up, bro. If you win every day, you cannot fucking lose it life. So what does a win every day look like for you? Go listen to episode 16 and it'll help you figure that out. The Live Hard program is an excellent framework for success over the course of your life because it is all the things that I have done over the course of my life that have produced this in a repeatable system year by year by year. A lot of people will say live hard you're only it doesn't you got to do it over no no shit bro just
Starting point is 00:28:49 like you got to take a shower disciplines a perishable skill like playing guitar if you don't fucking practice guitar you're gonna suck at guitar if you don't practice a jiu-jitsu what's gonna happen you're gonna get your fucking ass beat if you don't practice shooting guns you're not gonna be good at shooting guns if you don't take a fucking shower you're gonna get your fucking ass beat if you don't practice shooting guns You're not gonna be good at shooting guns. If you don't take a fucking shower, you're gonna fucking stink. Okay? This is the idea of Discipline as well. It is a perishable skill If you do not practice it over and over and over and over again you get mentally weak and then you cannot win the days
Starting point is 00:29:21 so Go to live hard program You cannot win the days. So go to the Live Hard program, live it every single fucking year. It's less than half the year of a commitment to being perfect, which creates a situation where you're generally getting almost everything out of your life that you want. And the biggest thing that you get is you get the ability to have the choice to do what it is you want to do with your life because you have built the skill of discipline and you can adhere to any plan that you set forth for yourself. It's not that you don't know what to do
Starting point is 00:29:54 it's that you can't fucking do it when it's not comfortable for you to do and that's why people lose. So what would your life look like if you were able to adhere perfectly to every motherfucking plan that you ever set out for yourself from the time that you were born to now? Would your life look completely different? The answer for every single fucking person listening to this is yes. So fix that problem now and you will have the choice at a bare minimum to become whatever it is that you want to become. And this is a huge deal because people will say, well, fuck dude, what if I do all this work and
Starting point is 00:30:31 I don't get where I want to go? And they'll talk themselves out. That is impossible. It does not happen. It does not exist. Well, so and so is a roofer. He works harder than you. Yes. At what? where he works harder than you. Yes. At what? At driving nails into fucking shingles. Okay. No offense, but that's not a fucking high brain capacity situation. We're talking about strategically designing your life to become what it is you want to become. Okay. And no disrespect to anybody who wants to go do whatever they do or work very hard I have massive respect for that. But if you want to graduate from having to work hard
Starting point is 00:31:12 Into the situation that everybody says it's work smart not hard No, it's work very hard and then smart and then the fucking shit starts to come together in the beginning You're gonna have to work your fucking balls off The point is this if you develop the ability to adhere and you develop discipline and you practice it over and over and over again, there's literally nothing that you can't become, create, or build if you win day by day by day. I love it man. I love it. Hell of a way to start a Monday, man. Yeah. Yeah. Kick some ass. Took a little minute to get started there, huh? Yeah, just a little bit balls burning Shopping bag. Hey look, dude. That's the truth guys
Starting point is 00:31:50 If you fucking if you can if you can build in yourself Which is what the live hard programs all about the ability to adhere The ability to adhere like really think about this. I want you to really think about this And by the way, we're fucking starting today,. I want you to really think about this and by the way We're fucking starting today, but I want you to really think about this What would your life look like? If you had the ability to adhere to every single plan every single dream every single goal That you have set forth for yourself from the time that you were 10 years old to however
Starting point is 00:32:25 you are now. What would your life look like? It would look completely different. So fix that fucking problem of adherence and everything takes care of itself. Because now you can say I want to be this. That could be, I want to be a superior athlete. You could become that. I want to be this. It could be an accomplished musician. You could become that. I want to be a superior athlete. You could become that. I want to be this. It could be an accomplished musician. You could become that. I want to be a black belt in jujitsu. You could become that. I want to build an amazing company. You could become that. I want to build an amazing relationship. You could do that. There's literally nothing you fucking can't do. If you can develop a plan and then adhere to it. It's not that people don't know what to do.
