REAL AF with Andy Frisella - MFCE HO HO HO, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO116

Episode Date: December 23, 2016

Thinking over the last year, Andy Frisella says he is incredibly grateful for the success of The MFCEO Project, as well as the successes of his other businesses. In this episode, two days before Christmas, Andy urges everyone to cultivate a positive attitude, focus on the things you are thankful for, and bring others with you on the road to success and happiness.

What is up guys you're listening to the MFCEO project I'm Andy I'm your host and I am the motherfucking CEO ho and here we are today with a special Christmas edition podcast. I would say holiday edition, except for when people say happy holidays, it really gets to my fucking nerves. So I'm going to say Merry fucking Christmas. Guys, what I want to talk to you guys about today is first and foremost, I want to say thank you. We have had an amazing year. We've had amazing support. We've gone from a very, very small, insignificant podcast to something that is in the top rated podcasts of all of podcasts on earth. I want you guys to understand that this isn't possible without your help. All right. And you know, we don't sell

anything. We don't ask you to buy anything. We're not selling programs. We're not selling, you know, seminars. We're not selling anything. What we're doing is trying to create a movement. We're trying to create motion in the world. And we're trying to bring back some of the values that made this country great from 50, 60, 70 years ago. Things like taking responsibility, things like work ethic, things like looking out and doing the right thing for other people. Basically, all the values that have been sort of lost over the course of time, competition. There's lots of them that go with that. But what we ask guys is that if you listen to the podcast, if you find value in it, that you share it with one friend, you let somebody know. So that's our little fee. That's how we ask people to share. And that's why we've become one of the most popular podcasts on earth. With that being said, guys, you know, here we are a couple of days from Christmas. The year is coming to a close. We've

had an amazing year. Things have been really almost surreal in how they've grown for us. And that led me to start talking about and thinking about things such as gratitude and such as, you know, focusing on the positivity versus the negativity. You know, we live in a world now that is constantly bombarded by negativity. If you go on Facebook, if you go on Instagram, if you go on any of the social medias, you're bound to see people bitching 10 times more than you see them creating positive, valuable content that helps people and helps bring people up. And what I want to talk to you guys about is how important sharing gratitude and spreading gratitude is. Okay.

A lot of you guys have bad days. We all have bad days. All of us have days where we want to pack it in. We want to go home. We want to write some bullshit status on our Facebook about how the world is fucked up and how we are the victims of, you know of all the rest of society. But guys, the people who win, the people who do well, the people who succeed ultimately at life,

they keep those feelings inside and they refocus on the positives, okay? And I wanna share with you how I do this. Some of the things I do, guys, when I think about how bad things are going and how rough things are going and how hard things are is I take a step back and I refocus on what's positive. And I do this in a couple of different ways. One of the things I do is when I wake up in the morning, when I brush my teeth, like while I'm brushing my teeth, I've trained myself to reflect upon what is positive in my life. Okay. So I'll, I'll be

frustrated. I'll be angry. I'll be upset. Okay. And what I'll do is I'll refocus those feelings into positivity. And so I'll reflect on, you know, my business. I reflect on the awesome employees that we have, the awesome friends I have in my business, because in our company, it's a big family. I'll focus on all the good things we have going for us. I'll focus on my family. I'll focus on how far we've come. And guys, if you start focusing on the positivity and you start focusing on the gratitude, you'll start to see that it is impossible to feel bad about where you are. So when you feel bad and you feel frustrated and you feel angry, like we all do, no matter what somebody says, no matter how good they are pretending their life is fucking perfect, especially online, nobody's life is perfect.

And you have to understand that every single person you follow, every single person you look up to, every single person that you are influenced by has these kind of days. And the way that we flip those days is that we focus on what we're grateful for. And I challenge you to try this. Next time you're feeling pissed, next time you're feeling upset, next time you're feeling that the world is against you, take the feelings that you would have at that time and start to think about what you're grateful for. You know, you have a house, you have a home, you have friends, you have family, you have all these great opportunities in front of you. And I don't care who you are.

You have these things, whether you choose to see them or not. All right. And I challenge you to try to feel grateful and also feel bad at the same time. Now, I do this in the morning because I want my day to start off on a positive note. I want my day to be great. So I start first thing in the morning. I make sure that, you know, I start my day out on the right attitude. So I do this while I'm brushing my teeth.

And I've trained myself to actually have a mental response that is physiologically attached to when I brush my teeth, I'm thinking about how grateful I have or how grateful I am for my life. Okay. So that's the first thing I do. The second thing I do is that before I go to bed at night, I make sure that I visualize what I want my life to be, what I want my life to be like, and what I'm grateful for after I visualize what I want my life to be, what I want my life to be like, and what I'm grateful for after I visualize what I want. Because so many of us get caught up in what we want that we're always striving to achieve things that we don't take the time to be grateful. So while I do my visualization techniques,

before I actually start to feel grateful for what I have. And so what I want you to do is I want you to think about what you want your life to be out, try to see it in great detail, use your visualization skills. You know, this is right before you go to bed. Think about what you want your life to be. Think about how you want your life to be. Try to see it as much detail as possible. And I mean extreme detail. Like I've said this a million times, I always used to visualize, and when I had no reason to believe this would be reality, I used to visualize driving up to a private plane and getting out of a Lamborghini and going on the plane. And that would be something that I visualize. And this is just a small example

so you guys can understand. But what I would try to visualize in detail was I would try to see the Lamborghini doors going up because you know they all have vertical doors. And I would see the door go up and then I would visualize myself actually stepping out of the plane, stepping onto the concrete, trying to see what the concrete looked like, walking up to the plane, noticing the color of the plane, what it looks like. If you know the stripe on the side of the plane, I look at the handrail and see the chrome on the handrail. And I try to like visualize every single detail in as much clarity as I could. And I did that for years. And guys, guess what? That's part of my life now. That's what I do. But after I did that part, I would spend time feeling grateful for what I did. I would spend time feeling grateful for the situation I was in. I would spend time feeling good about where I was, the opportunities that I'd be given, and how thankful I was to be me. And not a lot of us do that, especially those people who are in the situation, in the position of trying to be ambitious, trying to achieve goals, trying to be aggressive with their life.

We don't take enough time to sit back and feel grateful for all the amazing things that we have, guys. And that feeling of gratitude is one of the springboards to success because it takes away a lot of the pressure. It takes away a lot of the anxiety. It takes away a lot of the negativity. And when you have those feelings removed from your life, it's a lot easier to move forward. So guys, what I want you to do, if you're not doing it already, is I want you to take a minute and I want you to reflect on all the positive things. And that's what we're doing here. You know, I am so extremely thankful for you guys and so extremely grateful for what you guys have done for this podcast and what you've done for my business. You know, a lot of you guys have become customers of First Form.

I appreciate that so much. And, you know, I think about the employees that we have here in the front. I hate even calling them employees because they're more my family than they are. But, you know, my family within the company, our extreme network of outside legionnaires and sales reps within our company and how amazing the culture is around the MSCO project, First Form, and everything else that we're involved in. And that all comes from you guys. And I just want to say thank you. And I know I'm expressing those feelings for Vaughn as well, that we have the best people here. And with all of us trying to move forward and be better and be more active in the legacy that we leave behind for the next generation, we can make a difference in the way the world

changes. You know, all of us agree that the world is our society here in America is not in the best place right now. But guys, it's going to take us on an individual level to correct that. You know, there is no they that's going to come around and fix everything for us. It's going to become us setting an example for the next generation. And because of that, you know, and because I know that's the kind of people that you guys are, I'm just so appreciative of what you guys have done for us. So thank you so much. I appreciate you guys. I love you guys. And I wish you the best Christmas possible.

And I'm looking forward to what we're going to do together this next year. Guys, I love you guys. And I'll talk to you soon. RAPIDO!
