I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me, gotta lose.
What's up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host.
And I am the motherfucking CEO.
Guys, today's podcast is a little bit different, and let me explain to you why. Because I don't have time to record an actual podcast in the studio today.
I am actually recording this, believe it or not, and I'm not sure if this has ever actually been done before,
while I'm doing my 75 hard outdoor workout.
I'm roughly, I don't know, maybe a little over halfway through wearing a 30 pound weight
vest going up and down hills. So when you hear me get out of breath or breathing heavy, it's not
because I'm masturbating. It's because I'm doing fucking cardio. All right. And it goes exactly with what I want to talk about today, which is this,
and I'm just going to skip all the other bullshit of the fee. If you don't know the fucking fee,
ask somebody, um, look, here's the truth, man. This week's been annoying to me really fucking annoying you know i've got a lot
of people getting into their 75 hard program i got a lot of people you know trying to cut every
fucking corner they can so they can like take pride and that i finished the 75 hard program
they're talking about how they worked out by mowing their grass or some other bullshit cut
corner excuse or uh you know whatever the millions excuses but here's the thing i want to talk to you
guys about uh that really needs to be said you know all these people have every possible excuse for why they don't accomplish what they say they want to accomplish.
They have every possible excuse for why they fail to do what they need to do and what they know they need to do to be more successful.
But I can tell you for sure, the worst excuse that I hear literally all the time and you hear it too
is the excuse everybody gives for not completing the critical tasks that are going to move them
forward and it's this I'm tired I mean Andy you just don't understand I'm really really fucking tired motherfucker i'm out here 72 fucking days without
a fucking french fry or a fucking meal of any substance working out twice a day running seven
motherfucking companies i just moved houses i got arete event 200 people coming in town in two days
you don't think i know what fucking tired is, motherfucker?
I know what tired is better than anybody.
And this is what I want to get the point across to you guys.
You cannot use the excuse of I'm tired.
It's not relevant.
Because guess what?
Everybody is fucking tired And you know
The one thing I think about
Whenever I think about this is
You know the minute we're born
People will tell you
Is the minute you start to die
That's what getting older is
That's what aging is
It's a long slow death
And when you wake up
And you're coming off 6 to 7 to eight hours of rest and recharging,
you have to understand that the minute that you wake up, you're starting to lose the energy.
Okay?
You're starting to feel tired.
I didn't make the fucking rules.
That's just the way it is.
Okay?
When you wake up in the morning,
you are going to start being tired.
You're going to hit a little,
you know, you're going to have your little routine.
You're going to get up.
You're going to shower.
You're going to work out.
You're going to have some energy for a couple hours.
Then the afternoon comes.
Guess what?
You're going to be tired.
That's how it works for all of us. Okay. There's nothing
wrong with you. That's just how it fucking works. So when you say, Oh, I'm tired. You have to
understand how fucking pathetic that excuse actually is because we are literally biologically programmed and the universe and God made the rules, not me, to be more and more tired as the fucking day goes on.
This makes very much sense logically.
It makes sense physiologically.
But some of you still can't understand that it's like that for everyone.
Okay?
We all are tired.
So when you say you're fucking tired, you sound like a fucking idiot.
Just so you know.
Alright?
Now, what you have to understand that not only is everybody tired,
but every single person who's ever accomplished anything great,
whether it be climbing Mount Everest, whether it be running an Ironman, whether it be running a
country, whether it be running a motherfucking household, you are going to be tired. All right?
You cannot count on every day feeling great.
You cannot count.
In fact, feeling great are the off days.
They're not the regular days.
Feeling great are the exception, not the fucking rule.
Okay?
And it doesn't matter what routine you have.
It doesn't matter what you put in your body.
It doesn't matter how much you take care of yourself. The fact of the matter is, if you truly think about it, every single thing that you look at and you think about as a great accomplishment was done by someone who overcame the same tiredness that you have.
They slept less than you.
They fucking worked harder than you.
And they didn't use it as an excuse.
All right.
And what does that mean?
Well, that means this.
That means that people who are great understand something that people who aren't
don't. And that's this. Your effort has to always be beyond what your energy level is.
And that's hard for you to understand because it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.
What it means is this.
The average person is going to run their tank down 20-30% in a day.
Alright?
That means they still have 70% of their energy left to go.
But because they're mentally weak and they can't operate when things aren't perfect, they can never truly accomplish anything.
When successful people, great people, people who change the world, people who raise wonderful families, people who succeed, people who are constant achievers, they understand what running the tank down means. And not only will they run the tank down to 5%, 10%, fuck even 1%, but they understand that the truly great shit doesn't even start to happen until your effort is literally pushing further than what your energy level might be.
Meaning, when you're at 1% and you keep pushing and you go beyond having 1%, you are going to
start to realize how much mental comes into play, how much success in anything comes into your ability to expend effort when energy just isn't there.
And most of you can't grasp this because you've never done it.
You can't comprehend it because you've never done it. understand what it's like and how to operate at a very very high level when
you're tired when you have 10% in the tank not 70% 10% 5% 1% and then on top of
that push past that point you are never going to have success in life. It'll never fucking happen
now
A lot of you guys are like
Yeah, well, I don't do that and I make a couple hundred thousand dollars a year. I'm successful. No, you're not
Because your potential is to maybe make 20 million a year
Maybe your potential is to make 30 million maybe 100 million maybe 2 million
but is to make 30 million, maybe 100 million, maybe 2 million. But just because you're successful as
your fucking neighbor or you've got a nicer Escalade than he has a Tahoe does not make you
successful. What makes you successful is fulfilling what your true potential is. So you can never
identify success as an actual number or a comparison of a lifestyle.
You have to compare it on terms of what it means to push past what your mental limits
are, what your perceived physical limits are to truly achieve really great things.
This is a big problem for a lot of you guys because you're so conditioned and you're so
used to not even trying because you're so conditioned and you're so used to not even
trying when you're tired. Not only do you not perform at a peak state, you give up the minute
you start to talk about how tired you are. Guys, this is what's holding you back. This is why you
don't look the way you want to look. This is why you don't feel the way you want to feel. This is why you don't look the way you want to look. This is why you don't feel the way you want to feel. This is why you're not making the money you want to make. This is why. Because you can't push past the mental excuse of being tired where other people can. And it's not that other people can because they're more gifted or they
have more talent or they have better circumstances than you. It's because those people have
conditioned their brain to understand what tired really is. And they've also learned to accept the fact that they are always going to feel
less than ideal. That doesn't mean that they're going to stop pursuing feeling better. Of course
we want to feel better. Of course we're going to take care of our bodies. Of course we're going to
try to be as healthy and feel as good and look as good as we want. But if you can't understand that even as
good as you do with that, you're still going to be tired and accept that fact. Okay? Because really
what we're fighting for now is how to be less tired. If you can't accept that and work with
that and understand that you will achieve nothing of true significance
without doing it in an extremely, extremely, extremely tired state.
You will never do anything significant.
That's a fact.
You'll have a regular life.
You'll have a substandard level of living of what you could have you might be
comfortable but you'll never be great and because you're not great according
to what your true potential is when you're laying on your deathbed or when
people talk about you after you're gone they're not gonna say anything they're
not gonna say he was a nice guy she was a nice nice lady. And they're going to leave the funeral.
They're going to go have lunch.
They're going to hang out with their buddies.
In a couple hours, they're going to be drunk.
And they're going to be laughing.
And guess what?
Tomorrow, you ain't going to fucking matter.
And to be completely honest with you guys, I can't think of much worse than that.
