Starting point is 00:00:00 We gonna let the band deal with this. Ha ha. Mm-hmm. M.I.A. style. Old school. Uh-huh. Okay. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Uh-huh. Okay. What's up? Shut up. What's up, guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host, and I am the motherfucking CEO.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Guys, today, I've got some Thursday thunder for you. I've got a little juice I want to send your way. That sounds kind of perverted a little bit, but I still want to send it your way. Here's the deal, guys. I see every day people with this mentality that the world owes them something. And it's popular now to talk about entitlement and everybody deserves and all these different things that people like to bitch and cry about. But people come at life with the wrong attitude, okay? And they don't like hearing the truth.
Starting point is 00:01:08 And the truth of the matter is this. The world owes you nothing. The world doesn't think you're special like your mom does. It doesn't think you're a delicate little flower. It doesn't care about you. Now, with that being said, the world doesn't hate you. It doesn't want you to fail. It just is. Okay. And I see so many people going through their life with this overwhelming feeling of either a, the world owes me something or B, the world hates me. And the reality is it's neither. And what's common amongst this group
Starting point is 00:01:46 of people that I find is that both these groups of people that I find is that they're missing the understanding of what it means to be successful. And let me, let me get at exactly what the cause of this is. The cause of this is they're selfish. They're self-centered. They're self-focused. They're only worried about what they see in the mirror. And they go around through their daily life trying to manipulate the world in a way that's going to serve them. But here's the thing, guys. If that's the way you go through life, if you go through life trying to figure out a way for the world to get you something,
Starting point is 00:02:28 for you to be successful, you know, at the expense of others or for you to get ahead at the expense of others, your success or any success that you're able to build or momentum you're able to build is going to be very short-lived, guys. And that's not the right way to do things, okay? That's why you see the same people who make money real fast lose money real fast. That's why you see the same people who have a little bit of success and then go back to the way they were. And then they might find a new quote-unquote thing to do. And they make a little bit of money and they go back to the way they were. And the they might find a new quote unquote thing to do. And they make a little bit of money and they go back to the way they were. And the problem with this mentality guys is that it's a mentality that is not of service. Okay. And if you want to be truly successful in life,
Starting point is 00:03:18 you have to be selfless and you have to understand that being selfless and being of service to other people is the only true way to find long-term success. Okay? If you're making a product, your product's got to serve other people. It's got to solve a problem. If you're managing employees and you want to be a great leader, you've got to dedicate yourself to the betterment of these people who are doing the frontline work of your company. Okay. If you want customers to love you, you have to give more than what you ask in return in dollars. All right. This is basic shit guys. It's a, it's being of service. It's figuring out how you can help people with their problems. And the better you become at
Starting point is 00:04:07 helping people with their problems and helping people find solutions to their problems, the more fucking money is going to find its way into your fucking bank account. All right. And it's that simple. All right. We talk about this earlier in earlier editions of my podcast, where we talk about the morality of money and we talk about how money is really made. And it still shocks me how many people go through life with a self-centered viewpoint of business success, uh, you know, money and all these other things that we talk about, you know, generally on this podcast. Um, guys, it's just not the way it is. That's why you see people who are constantly hustling, but never getting anywhere. If you take a really good look at
Starting point is 00:04:53 their motivations, it's because they're motivated on things that are going to benefit them, not focused on things that are going to benefit others. And guys, I know this sounds a little bit out there. Like, you know, it sounds a little bit care bear, you know, care about others and others will care about you, but it's a fundamental truth of the fucking universe. Okay. If you care about others, other people reciprocate and care about you. All right. When you make a friend, you're going to make a fucking sale. And you know what the best part about making a friend is versus making a customer is that you can always lose a fucking customer, but you can never fucking lose a friend. All right, guys, you have to focus on being of service. You have to
Starting point is 00:05:37 focus on solving problems. The world doesn't give a fuck either way. The world doesn't care if, you know, who you are, what you do. The world doesn't hate you either. It just doesn't care if you know who you are, what you do. The world doesn't hate you either. It just doesn't care about you. Do you understand that? It's like you're like a piece of fucking lint. It's indifferent. It doesn't matter. So quit going through life thinking the world owes you something because nobody fucking owes you anything and quit going through life. You other people thinking that the world hates you. The world doesn't fucking hate you. The likelihood is you fucking hate you. Okay? Fix your fucking mindset.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Understand that success is an equation of math. It is 1 plus 1 equals 2. It is A plus B equals C. There's no fucking magic dust in there. It's just, it is what it is. It's cause and effect. It's action result. And once you accept that, and once you eliminate all the fucking hocus pocus that all the other
Starting point is 00:06:30 motivational gurus and salespeople and fucking bullshitters and gypsies or whatever the fuck is out there trying to sell you, then you're going to be on the right track. You know, it's just too simple to accept that it's cause and effect, right? It's too simple to accept that it's A plus B equals C or 1 plus 1 equals fucking 2. But what if it is that simple? All right? Understand that and understand that you need to be of service. And if you can understand those two fucking points and accept them as truth and work them as truth, there is no limit to how far you can go.
Starting point is 00:07:08 We're going to let the band deal with this. Ha ha. Mm-hmm. MIA style. Ha. Old school. Uh-huh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Shut up. Ha ha. Okay. What's up? Shut up. Uh-huh. Okay. What's up? Okay. Shut up. Okay. What's up? Shut up. Okay. What's up? Shut up.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Okay.
