REAL AF with Andy Frisella - The False Choice At the Heart of Failed Lives, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO294

Episode Date: March 26, 2019

As a guy who started with $0 in the bank 20+ years ago & now personally earns well into 8 figures a year, I've been around the broke & the ballers, losers & winners...& I can tell you this: those who never experience all the valuable things in life...the stuff money can buy & the stuff it can't...definitely suffer from an either/or mentality. They believe in a false choice & they even believe something false about God. So they waste their lives. Don't want that to happen to you? Listen to this podcast.

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 is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host and I am the motherfucking CEO. Today is going to be very fucking short. Very short. All I want to do is hop on here real quick and remind you guys, because I see this everywhere I go, all right? And I see this message pumped out on social.

I see this message verbalized by people all the time. And it is literally the anthem of underachievers okay and it goes something like this you know i don't need all that material stuff because i'm humble you know i used to chase material things but now i realize that spirituality and well-being is more important and that's the real prize, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Let me remind you something and enlighten you to a point that you may not have considered because society is so biased on this point, and this point is this. You do not have to be poor to be a good person. It is not either or. Okay. You do not have to be poor to enjoy the simple things. It is not either or. All right. And lots of people out there,

especially nowadays with the spiritual gangsters out there trying to tell you how to live and what to think and how to feel and what your priority should be and all this shit, I would have you consider one thing. People go the either or route whenever they realize that they can't get both. The truth is both of those things are important. Enjoying the simple things is important. Having money is important. If you don't think having money is important at your age right now, when you're under 30 years old and you're sitting there saying, Oh, well, you know, I'm just going to enjoy the simple things in life. Well, you don't have a fucking choice now because that's all there is left. There's no shame in having both. It doesn't

make you a bad person to be wealthy. It doesn't make you, in fact, you could do a lot more good shit when you have the resources to do it. Nobody talks about that. Nobody talks about how wealthy people give to these organizations and these charities and these churches and basically drive the entire fucking boat. Okay. Money is a great thing. And when you sit there and try to put it in a terms of either, or I'm either a good person or I'm wealthy. Or I'm either a person who enjoys the simple things or I'm wealthy. You're handicapping yourself on both scenarios. Because what you're telling yourself is it's a bad thing to make money.

That makes me less moral. And that's just not the fucking truth. Okay? The goal is to make money. That makes me less moral. And that's just not the fucking truth. Okay. The goal is to have both. And if you're under 30 years old and you're thinking, oh, well, one day, maybe I'll just switch my mindset. Like I'm not saying you're verbalizing this, but if you're just thinking it one day, I might change my mindset and I'll get some money. Dude, money takes a while to materialize. If you even think that you're going to want some money in your life, which you are going to whether you want to admit it or not,

you got to start now. You've got to start building for that future family now. You've got to start building for that future life that you want to live now. Okay? It's all good and it's all fun and it's all, uh, cool to pretend like you're some sort of moral fucking high horse authority and super enlightened and spiritual, but it's only cool until you can't pay your fucking bills. All right. So let's cut the shit. You could be both. You could be a great person and you can make a lot of money.

And in fact, I would argue that if you're not pursuing making a lot of money, you're actually dishonoring your creator by living less than your potential could be. So quit with the fucking hiding under the spiritual umbrella of quote unquote goodness as a reason as to why you're not succeeding because it's complete bullshit. And while your friends might think that it's okay and your people that you're around and your family and your little group on social media might think that it's okay, the truth is it's not okay because you know, and I know that you are not doing what needs to be done. And instead of gritting it out, gutting it out, working it out and persevering to make yourself the best that you possibly could be. You're instead saying, you know what? I don't

want to work that hard. So I'm just going to stand on this mountain over here, which is the moral high horse mountain, because it's the popular thing to do. And I'm going to tell you guys right now, I've been doing this shit for a long time. I seen a lot of motherfuckers do this and you know what they're doing? They're cooking fucking French fries somewhere and they hate their lives. That's the truth. So you can ride this fucking popularity message all you want with all the little gurus out there talking about how it's important to be a good person and you don't need money or you could realize that you can be a good person with money or without money you can enjoy simple things with money without money and anybody who says any fucking different is full of shit

they probably couldn't cut it themselves. That's the fucking truth when it comes to this little paradox that we have going on. And I would further, like I said a minute ago, consider this. Let's consider that you had a son. Let's consider that you had a daughter and let's consider the fact that you knew that they were capable of X, but they live X minus whatever that is because, and then they go around and preach about how good of a person they are when in reality, they're just living far below their potential. Are you going to be proud of them? Are you going to see them for what they are? Because that's what God sees when he looks at you. He sees someone who is taking the gifts that he gave you and using them to less than their potential.

And that's dishonorable. And if you can't understand that and you're sitting there raising that moral flag about how great of a person you are and you're underachieving, you're full of shit. That's the reality. That's the truth. If you don't like it, I don't give a fuck.
