REAL AF with Andy Frisella - The Intangibles, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO114

Episode Date: December 16, 2016

"Steve" is "the average mother f*cker." He buys all the success books. He goes to all the seminars. But nothing ever changes for him. Why?  According to Andy Frisella, he doesn't have "The Intangibles." These are: heart, desire, drive, passion, intensity, a will to win. Do you have these? If you don't, nothing will ever change for you, either. If you do, you'll be part of the 1 percent that truly achieve success and greatness. Ultimately, your actions will answer that question.

Hey guys, what's up? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy, I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO. Guys, today is Friday fire. If you know what that is, you know what that fucking is. If you don't, you're about to find out. I want to talk about something today that has been on my nerves. All right. We have all these people out there reading all the success that's out there, all the memes posting all the successful statuses. And you know what? Nothing ever fucking changes. We see people who preach and who post and who claim to be about it, but when you go look at their life, it's just the same old thing. It's the same old Steve, Steve, the average motherfucker.

And Steve, the average motherfucker wants more. He, he reads all the things he learns, all of the skills he claims to do all the things he's taught, but, but the magic just isn't happening for Steve, the average motherfucker. And let me tell you why, because there's a certain set of things that I call the intangibles of success that you have to have. Now, can you be successful without them? Maybe. Can you be successful with them? Probably.

All right? And I want to talk about these intangibles. Right? Intensity. Fire, tenacity, hunger, the will to be the best, the will to fucking win. Those are the intangibles. Those are the qualities that you just cannot teach someone. They are the it factors. They're alpha they're the omega they're the things you either have deep down in your heart or you don't and you can read as many motivational posts you want you can think all the warm fuzzy law of attraction

thoughts that you want you can have the perfect business plan with the perfect mentor, with the biggest opportunity in the history of fucking earth right in front of your face. But if you don't have those qualities in your heart and use them on a daily basis to take action, every possibility to succeed, you're never going to make it. Being great is being successful in all areas of your life. And guess what, guys? It isn't cheap and it isn't fucking easy either. Being great is a long, hard, lonely, tedious, repetitive road, which is of course why most people end up living a life they regret. They're scared of the journey. They're scared of the process. They're scared of what they have to do and in the end it's just way easier to be like everybody else. Why don't you hear this among the entrepreneur gurus or the

sports gurus out there? Because it's easier to powder and pat the asses of all the delicate flowers of society in order to become popular than it is to tell them the reality of success. And the reality of success is this. It's not for everybody. 1% of every 100 people that you know will build the life that they want? Will you be in that one percent who gives everything they can, who dedicates every hour of every day of every week of every month to build a legacy? That's the question. And guess what, guys? You could say all the shit you want. You could post all the shit you want. You can claim to be about it all you want. But at the end of the day,

your actions are going to answer that question. It's easy to tell yourself you have what it takes in life. It's easy to tell yourself you're going to be great. It's easy to tell yourself that you're doing whatever the fuck it takes. But are you really? Can you look yourself dead in the eye when nobody's around with the only person staring back at you is yourself and answer that question honestly. Are you doing everything you can? Because that's what success is about. That's the truth. That's the way it is. That's how you build a legendary life.

It's not about what you say. It's always about what you do. And you guys can debate this. You can argue this. You can post about this, you can question this, but it doesn't matter because your actions are always going to tell the story. They're always going to tell the story of do I possess the intangibles? Am I on fire when I wake up in the morning? Do I attack my day with tenacity? Am I hungry every single morning with the will, the overwhelming will, to fucking win?

Do I want to be the best? Those are the intangibles. And everybody thinks it's cool to act like they have the intangibles, but you know what? Most of you motherfuckers don't because most of you motherfuckers are going to listen to this podcast right here. You're going to be pumped for about fucking two minutes and you're going to go back to doing whatever it is you were fucking doing before

with no care in the world. And if that's you, you ain't got it, bro.
