This is the show for the real estate,

“goodbye to the lives, the thickness and delusions”

of modern society and welcome to the mother truck and reality. Guys, today we have Q&AF. That's where you submit questions and we give you the answers. You could submit your questions a few different ways. DJ, tell them how they could submit their questions.

Guys, email your questions and to ask Andy@and for sell.com. Or you can drop them in the comments section of the Q&AF videos. We'll click the link in the description to submit them there for a chance to be answered on the show.

If this is your first time listening, we have shows within the show. Tonight, you're going to see CTI live. That is live on X and YouTube at 7 p.m. central time. This is where we cruise the internet.

We talk about things that are going on in the world. We speculate. We have a couple laughs. We joke around. We talk about how we the people have to solve

these problems going on in the world. Other times, we have real talk, real talk. It's just five 20 minutes and we give you some real talk. And then sometimes we have 75 hard verses. That's where people who come on the show,

we've completed 75 hard. Come on, and they talk about how they were before, how they are now and how they use the 75 hard program to get their life in order. If you're unfamiliar with 75 hard,

it is the initial phase of the live hard program, which is available in its entirety for free at episode 208 on audio feed. Again, that's 208 on the audio feed. It's on the audio feed only, it's on YouTube.

There's also a book. The book on mental toughness. It goes over the entire live hard program. And it is not free. There's also a whole bunch of chapters on mental toughness.

“Why it's important how to cultivate in your life.”

You get that at AndyBrasala.com. And yeah, that's pretty much it. One of the things we do here, this different than everybody else, we're the biggest show in the world doesn't run ads.

So we make a little deal with you guys. It's very simple. If you get value out of the show, if it makes you think, if it makes you laugh, it gives you new perspective,

if it's something you need to, you know, you think needs to be heard or something that helps you out, do as a favor and share that show. Sharing the show one time a year,

does not count as sharing the show, right?

Real talk, this cost me a couple million bucks

to fucking do every year. I don't take a single dollar for it. And I ask very simply that all you guys do is to help us grow the show, all right? So don't be a ho, share the show.

All right, we'll stop. Good morning. How are you? Good, good to see you. Yeah, yeah.

Dude, we tried to, we were stuck with the lights earlier.

“I thought it couldn't figure out where the setting”

but I don't remember being the start. Dude, I don't remember being this dark. We had to week, hey, it was a little hideous man. It was good though man, how are you doing? Good, you know?

Good, back in the saddle. Yeah man, feeling good, looking good. Looking good, you are. Yeah, that's right. I'm excited to get back on CTI.

Yeah, well, there's going to be fun. Some things I wanted to say last couple of weeks, I didn't get to say, I probably won't say any way 'cause it's old, but we'll talk about that later. Yeah, we can do it, man.

We get to it. This is the episode where people get better. That's right. I mean, they get better on CTI also. Yeah, but this is the main.

This is getting better, bad. So let's do that. I got three get ones for you. Guys, Andy, question number one, Andy. I work for a trucking company.

I recently got past up twice for promotions in the last eight months, for a management position, for my shift that I currently have been operating for eight years. Now, I realize that time doesn't mean shit.

It's the impact you make within that time. The first promotion, the person that got it, was the favorite to get it. But never worked nighttime operations.

The problem is that she never started that position

because she just needed the manager title for another promotion. The second time I got past up was a person that worked under her in a different department. She had a big influence on his promotion.

Everyone in management is realizing, this is not based on work performance. It's a lot of favoritism. How do I handle loss, moving forward, knowing that that position is handed to someone else

rather than earning it? I guess how do you, how do you, are we fucking serious here? Are we fucking, bro, you suck? You suck at your job.

If you were that great at your fucking job, you would have got the promotion. Okay, let's be fucking real. Businesses don't exist to fucking piss money away. They don't exist to give cousins jobs.

They don't exist to fuck you over. They exist to fucking win. All right, so while you may think this, and you may say, "Oh man, I'm getting past over." And blah, blah, blah, blah, no,

you're getting past over for a fucking reason that you're unwilling to admit. Okay, and it's probably that you got a bad attitude or you lack the capacity to lead, or you bitch a lot,

maybe you wreck three trucks.

I don't know, I don't know what it is. But something you're doing is not resonating with the leadership of the company. And while they hold your balls in their hand, you should probably figure out

'em fucking make them like you, okay? So, how old did you say was? Didn't say. Okay, well, you're old enough to fucking know if you're old enough to drive a truck

that the reason that you got past buys because you fucking suck, so get better. Like, real talk, I'm sick of this shit. You guys all fucking whine about, oh, get past over.

If it's even a question, is someone even close to as good as you? It's too close. That's the thing that you gotta understand. When we talk about being undeniable,

we talk about truly possessing what it takes to win.

“You have to be so much better than the person next to you”

that if the conversation comes up, who's better? This or that, it's laughable. That's the gap we're fucking talking about here. We're not talking about splitting hairs. Oh, well, you know, there's, I don't know,

there's a chance there should not be a discussion. You should be that much better than everybody else. And that is what the fuck undeniable means. So get your bitch ass shit out of here. I got past over, you got, okay,

if you really got past over because of these reasons, find a new place to work. All right, but I'm going to bet that that same exact shit is gonna happen to you again. And I bet it's happened to you before.

How many jobs have you had before where you got past over and it was everybody else and it wasn't you. I bet you have this problem in your fucking relationship. I bet you have this problem with your friends.

I bet you have this problem in your career. I bet nothing is your fault and I bet you will go to the grave thinking nothing is your fault and that the whole world inspires against you whenever you would just, if you would just figure out

very simply that what it takes to win is greatness. It does not take almost greatness. It doesn't take kind of good. It doesn't take, I work hard, working hard is the price of admission.

You have to be skilled. You have to be good. You have to contribute.

“You have to earn the confidence of your leadership.”

Yeah, if you're a leader, you have to earn the confidence of your team. This comes through undeniable winning effort and skill set. And right now you don't fucking have it.

Okay, I don't know what, if I was your friend, this is what the fuck I'd be telling you. You probably ruin a whole bunch of your life being like this. I don't know, it's fucking, you know, favoritism.

Yeah, right. Oh, it's the favorite. Well, you know what, you know who my fucking favorites are? You know who my favorite song? It was a fucking win.

Fuck, dude, you wanted to know who I liked the best. The ones who do the fucking job the best. You know why? 'Cause it makes my life easier. And we win more.

And it's better for everybody. Okay, those are my fucking favorites. Shoot me. Okay, oh, he's got favorites. You're fucking right.

I got fucking favorites. 100% every fucking leader has favorites. And you know who the favorites are? The ones who do the fucking job without having to be harassed to do the fucking job.

And they do a great, and they do it without fucking eating. I hope a bunch of handholding and coddling and ass padding, which sounds like you fucking need. So, grow the fuck up. That's my answer.

I fucking love it, man. I like, dude, it makes me think too. It's like, you know, like, and I've heard you say this to employees, right? Like, nobody knows your name.

It's not their job to know your name. It's your job to make your name known. That's what I'm saying, yeah, man. Why is that such a big lack? Because everybody's got inflated egos, bro.

No, everybody's done nothing and they expect everything. Everybody's, you know, thinks that they've accomplished the greatest thing in the world by breathing the fucking air and blessing them with their fucking presence. I hate to tell you this, dude, but your parents were wrong.

Your teachers were wrong. Your aunts and uncles, they were wrong fucking too. Everybody that told you that you were special for breathing the fucking air and that that was gonna be enough for you to get respect and enough for you

to be able to survive in this world was wrong.

“You need to wake the fuck up and understand”

what the truth is and the truth is simple.

If you want to win, you have to be uninitably great. Uninitably great is not close to the next guy. It's, there's such a gap that it's not even a fucking question, okay? It's like, it's like, it's like, is shohale tiny. Should we have shohale tiny play for us?

Or should we have this AAA guy that's never played a fucking game in this life? - Yeah, right. - Like it's not a discussion, right? You need to be a tiny bro and if you can't be a tiny

with the fuck you do, you ain't gonna get paid like a tiny. Okay, you understand? This is very, very simple. The problem is, all you motherfuckers try to look for

you try to, and you waste your whole life doing it.

You waste your whole life doing it. You end up bitter, frustrated, broke, angry, feeling like the world fucked you over when you reality dude, you fucked you over. That's it.

So we'll get the fuck out of here with you. We're gonna get past 'em. We got past 'em over 'cause you're not fucking good enough. That's it. - Fucking love it dude.

- Oh, man, I love it. - Well, I'm tired of it. - I'm tired of it. You guys are fucking delusional sometimes, man. Not all of you, obviously, but like, the fuck out of here, dude.

- Oh, you know what, NFL, I got fucking, you know,

“the number one draft pick, I think I'll go ahead”

and play this undrafted guy and, you know, who's better? - I'm sure to work out. - Dude, fuck, dude, did you know what, you know the craziest thing about this, too, man? Is it like, the true winners?

If they got past up, they still will look internally for something they didn't do well enough. You know what I'm saying? Like, if they got past up, it will fuck. I'm listening, I did this good enough.

- No shit, not, it's everybody else's fault. - No shit. - All his favorites, it's a mindset thing. - So victim mindset, bro. - Bitch ass attitude that's infected people

from the last 20 years of failed social strategy in the system, it's propaganda. - Okay, if you wanna win, you gotta be great. If you wanna win the race, you gotta be the fastest. If you wanna lift the most, you gotta be the strongest.

If you wanna earn the most money, you gotta be willing to do shit that other people aren't willing to do. You gotta be willing to do it longer. And you gotta be willing to do it better.

And you gotta be willing to do it when you're tired and when you're sick and when you don't feel good and when fucking you'd rather do anything else even die than take another fucking step forward. Those are the motherfuckers that win.

Okay, everybody else loses. Not, not kind of loses. Everybody else loses. Okay, this is a show about winning. If you wanna win, get good at what the fuck you do.

So good that it's not even a discussion

of who's the second best.

It's really simple, dude. It's just hard. - I fucking love it, dude. I love it, guys. Andy question number two.

Andy, there's so much noise in business right now. Try this marketing strategy. Do this for social media, put these systems in, automate this. It feels like you could spend all day doing things that look productive, but don't actually move the business

forward. How do you figure out what really matters versus what's just busy work? I mean, 27 years, and I'm sure you tried fucking everything, right? How do you figure it out?

All right, look, first off, you gotta learn how to, all right, I'm gonna answer this as if I don't know anything. Okay, sometimes I forget that there's people that don't know, okay, the first thing you gotta understand is that most of these people on the internet

are full of shit. That is their brand, that's their product. What they're saying is their product, that they're trying to sell. These people who claim to be marketing geniuses

on the internet, what have they done? What have they built? If they were that good at marketing, wouldn't they have their own company that was just totally fucking weapon ass on everybody else?

Do you do diligence? All right, that's the first thing.

“The second thing, you have to understand”

how to filter through the minutia and the bullshit

and figure out what the critical things

that are gonna move you forward are on a daily basis. If you lack the ability to define critical tasks or you lack the honesty because you're lazy and you say, oh, these are critical tasks when they're not really, you won't get anywhere, bro.

You won't get anywhere. You have to be able to identify and by the way, you have to be able to identify what that is. How did I do that? I've been doing this for 20 fucking seven years, bro.

It's trial and error, but it shouldn't be that hard for you to figure out. What's gonna get you further? Watching a video on listening a podcast on branding or actually making some phone calls

to actually build your brand out, right? And doing some things with some real people. Like, what? Watching a video on co-co-coiling versus just phone call. Yeah, like, as an entrepreneur,

you learn everything on the job. And if we're being real, every job you learn everything on the job. There's no difference in that sense. There's no job out there that you don't learn.

Like, you can read the training manual at Chick-fil-A. You don't know how to make a fucking Chick-a sandwich yet. No.

“You're gonna know how to make it once you make a couple, right?”

Like, that's what you got to do. So, critical tasks. Do they move your business forward? Is this a task that moves my business forward? Ancillary tasks.

This is the shit I got to do today to live my life. I got to pick up the kids from school. I got to go to the grocery store. That's to do list.

Critical list gets done first.

Ancillary gets done second. Critical is the things that are gonna move you forward.

“Ancillary are the things that you have to do in day-to-day.”

It's really simple. Critical tasks are things that you are actively doing to move forward. For me, that looks mostly like making contact with people and having conversations with people.

For you, that might be, you know, today is tax day, right? That might be, okay, making sure that my taxes are filed today, right? Or it might be something else. But the point is, it doesn't move you forward. Is it something that has to be done in your business?

Does it get you down the pipe further, right? It's really simple, dude. I think it also brings up a topic of success zombies that you talk about all the way up. People think that if they're reading and consuming content,

they're progressing, but like you said,

if they don't take action towards their business,

or whatever they're not, that's a big problem. It's a huge problem, especially with the inundation of all of the experts, right? And then you get frozen because, you know, you get paralysis by analysis because you're getting

so much information from so many people, most of the people are not credible and you're getting confused and you get paralyzed and you don't take action. Okay, you got to make a choice and you got to move forward.

And if you're having trouble moving forward and you're having trouble with the confusion, then tune out the confusion, cut the noise out, do what you think you need to do to move the business forward and you will learn.

Study people who've done what you've done. Figure out what they did. Like to me, and maybe I'm wrong, but this is basic shit. Like if I didn't know anything,

and this is what I did when I didn't know anything, I picked people who did what I did and I watched them and I figured out what they did right and I thought about what they do wrong and sometimes because I didn't have experience,

I thought what they did wrong was wrong, but it was actually right. And I just become a student of the process.

“And that's what you have to do and it's not,”

it's not listening to everybody. It's paying attention to everybody. It's a different thing. - Observation. - Bro, there's so much free shit out there. Like there's so much free information out there.

From credible people, it's just like, what are you guys doing? You know what I'm saying? But, I mean, look, here's the reality. If you're not smart enough to be able

to determine who's credible and who's not and you're not smart enough to determine

what your critical task are, you're not smart enough to win.

I don't know, you should do something else. Like these are basic things. You should be able to fucking look into someone and figure out if they've actually done the things that they say they do.

If you can't do that, you're not very smart. If you can't figure out what tasks are going to move your business forward, you know, I'm very smart. I'm not pretty sure you got to be somewhat smart. You don't have to be as smart as you got to be somewhat smart.

At least smart enough to do that. Yeah, that's pretty as good. Yeah, that's good. I love it, man. I love it.

“Guys, Andy, let's get to our third and final question.”

Question number three. And I'm fairly new to you. And you have me in complete reprogram mode. I'm 22 years old from Idaho. Since listening to your content,

I've noticed something about myself that's kind of frustrating. If I tell someone else, I'm going to do something or show up or finish a task, be somewhere. I'll do it, no matter what.

But when it comes to stuff, I set for myself like going to the gym or chores around the house or working on something I said, I cared about. I'll find a way out of it. It's not like I don't know what to do.

I just don't follow through the same way I do for other people. After a while, it starts to mess with your confidence because you don't even fool the treasure stuff no more. How do you fix that? How do you get to the point where your words to yourself

actually mean something? Ooh, young butt. Well, I mean, look, this is why live hard in 75 hards been created. The skill that you're talking about is adherence and discipline.

And when you don't have the ability to adhere, it doesn't matter how good the plan is. All right, so your job, which at 22 years old, I think it's pretty interesting that you've already identified this because you have,

your job is to cultivate that ability to adhere. And the way that you do that is by training yourself in the skill set of mental toughness, which encompasses grit, fortitude, perseverance, the ability to endure confidence, self-esteem,

mental toughness. It's a concept of many different small skill sets. And when I say skill sets, I mean skill sets because they are not traits. A lot of people look at these highly disciplined people

and they think, oh man, he's got what I don't, or he has something I don't know. He doesn't have something you don't.

in that one area that you think is magical. When in reality, you haven't cultivated that same discipline.

“So what you have to do is you have to become aware”

of where your weak points are, which you are, where you're aware of, and then you have to practice executing at those points.

I, as always, would highly recommend 75 hard

and the LiveHard program, which is a repeatable program. It's a one-year program, you're not on it the whole year. It counts for like 40% of your year. But you want to win, you want to fucking really put your life in overdrive, live a LiveHard lifestyle.

Because it'll keep your mental toughness sharpened. It'll keep your ability to adhere sharpen. It'll give you the confidence and the belief in yourself that you're looking for, because you are following through on the things

that you've told yourself you're going to do. And this is the magic of the program. The magic of the program is that it takes something that most people think are traits and teaches them that they're skills that they have to understand

or perishable and have to brush up and sharpen on a regular basis. So like once you learn these skill sets and once you get them sharp, they can easily go away if you don't practice them.

So first thing to understand is that these are skills

that you could cultivate second thing to understand

“is that they're perishable and you have to practice them”

over and over again. The third thing you have to understand is that once you have these skills set sharpened and if you keep them sharp, there's actually no limits to what you can do, because if you have the ability to adhere to a planet

it doesn't matter what planet is put in front of you, you have the ability to adhere to it. So that solves the problem of success for like 99.99, 99% of the people. We don't lack information, we don't lack plans,

we don't lack ideas, we don't lack successful business plans. We lack the ability to do it. That's where people lose, okay? And that's why 75 hard is a program that's continuing to grow for six years now.

When everybody's like, oh, it's a fucking bad, it's not a fucking bad, it's not a fucking weight loss program. It's a success program for your brain that allows you to achieve things that you otherwise couldn't, okay?

And if you keep that sharp, if you keep that ability to adhere sharp, you won't have a problem with the things that you're talking about. Nor will you have a problem doing anything else you want to do,

because the reality is success in life

is not that much different than success in baking or cooking. There's a set of directions and you've got to fucking follow them. How hard is it to be a really good cook? It's really not that hard. Is it hard to do off the top of your head?

Sure, that takes years and years and years and years and years and years. You're going to be Gordon Ramsay, you're going to do it for 30 fucking years. But I can make a fucking Michelin star meal

in my house by following motherfucking directions, okay? And so can you, and so can everybody in this fucking room? And success is no different. So if I don't have the ability to follow the directions, it doesn't matter what directions I have.

And the cake's going to suck, the food's going to suck. Your life's going to suck, all right? So you got to realize that in no one's skill, a 22 years old, that you can give yourself, the biggest gift you can give yourself

is the understanding that mental toughness, grit, fortitude, perseverance, self confidence, self-esteem, the ability to endure all of these things are skills that you have to keep sharp. You have to practice.

And if you do that over the next 15 years, bro, you're going to be so far ahead. Everybody else is going to be ridiculous. I got a couple of things on this. I want to actually about the first thing being,

I'm curious to what you think or how you think about this. But it's like, I look at things like consistency, for example, right? And you see people who are out of shape or something like that. Because they're not consistent, they're not discipline.

But it's like, if they're going to McDonald's, every single Thursday and Friday, that's consistency, they're just consistently being shit. Correct. And so like, I mean, what's your thoughts on that?

People have it. They're just not being like when people say things like, "Oh, you got to do to be successful as be consistent." Motherfucker, you are ready-consistence, right? You're consistently bad.

That's right. Yeah, consistency is not the key to success, okay?

“The right execution consistently is the key to success, all right?”

Everybody's consistent, everybody is. You're consistent, you probably do the same. If we record your life for the last 10 years, I bet you do almost everything exactly the same, okay? That's consistent, yeah, that's consistent.

It's consistently producing the same result that you have. But one thing you don't like, so if you want to change, you've got to be consistent and other things. And that is very basic, but most people like have a trouble being consistent.

Not really dude. I see you go into that gas station, get those tequitos, those chips, and that pizza, and that fucking big gulp. And all that shit you get every, you do that consistently.

You know what I mean? You just want to move your fat ass down the road consistently. Right, you know? So that's so real, man. Yeah, I know it is.

The wrong problem with consistency, bro. It's application.

And then the second thing I want to hit on too,

'cause I was like reading this question, this dude sounds like he has a good heart, right?

“And I think this also messes up a lot of people too.”

We're like, okay, you're saying you show up for everybody else, you're just not showing up for yourself. Is this the time for him to like maybe just cut that off? Well, I think you need to understand. So you gotta, this is another thing as a young person

that you gotta understand this up front. You gotta be selfish before you could be selfless. You can't really serve other people the way that you could, unless you have taken care of your own life and your own business, your own health,

and your own finances, and all of your own, then you can actually take care of people. But when you don't have any of those things, and you're trying to give, give, give, give, give. And you don't have much to give.

Not only do you not have much to give, but you lack, it takes away from the ability to grow the thing that's gonna allow you to give what you want to give. So it's, it sounds counterintuitive, but you have to be selfish, dude.

You gotta take care of yourself. You gotta take care of your own shit. You gotta make sure all that shit's right. And then that equips you to do more good for more people in a more impactful way.

- Yeah, I do that, absolutely, yeah. - I think too, especially for being 22, this is like primetime to fucking. - Oh yeah, if you're gonna be selfish in that sense, this is a great time to fucking do it.

- Yeah, dude, look, you got two schools of thought. You've got one school of thought, we're like,

“are you in your 20s, you should go fucking travel the world,”

and being african, fucking whatever, right, cool. All right, well that's 10 years you lost, to people that are fucking given it. And then at 30, you're gonna be like, "Well, fuck, I'm way behind."

Well yeah, you are behind, you are behind. Now people will like to say, you know, you're still young, true. But you're behind the guy that started when he was 20, okay? And I'm gonna tell you this, I started when I was 19. There's no regrets that I started when I was 19.

In fact, it's probably the one thing that I'm most grateful for. I'm most grateful that I started it in 19, and I'm still a fairly young man, and I'm very successful because I started so young.

It gives me a totally different quality of life when I do, but I've been, I've been living the quality of life I have since I was 33, 32, okay? So that's, most people are getting started then. That's what I'm saying, okay, so what's the quality

of my 30s versus the quality of the 30s of the guy that's starting when he was 30? Big difference, okay, and what did I really give up? I didn't really give up that much. I just worked hard in my 20s.

I still fucking went out my friends. I still fucked around, you know, could I have went harder? Yeah, but, I mean, I went hard enough to get me where I'm at, you see what I'm saying? So you guys who are young dude,

you need to ignore this, like real talk, I think some of the worst advice on the internet is, you know, just fuck your 20s away. I think your 20s are built for building, and I think when you commit,

you'll never find someone who's committed

to building in their 20s, say they wish to had it. It just doesn't, you don't hear it, that's real. You don't hear it, okay? You don't hear people who started when they're 20 years old, say, "Oh, man, I wish I had started at 30s."

Where's them alive? That's not what the fuck they say, they say the opposite. And you should pay attention to that, 'cause they have perspective. They know what it's like to watch some of their friends

wait till they're 35 or 40, and by the way,

“if that's what you have to do, that's what you have to do.”

And the good news is, technology makes it a lot faster than it used to be. So it's not like it was in the old days like when I started where you had to put in fucking 12 years to even get paid, all right?

So I'm not trying to shit on people that are older, I'm not trying to moralize you, but if you have the choice and you have the option, I would start as young as possible. - Do I think the other final piece on this too? I feel like another misconception with the young crowd

on this specific topic is that it's almost presented as like all of nothing. I'm glad you said that, you still have, you had fun, you went out, you had your things, but I did some wild shit, it's right, you don't say it.

Like I had a fucking great time, yeah. But it's like, I feel like it's presented now 'cause it's like, it's just all or nothing. You either got to be this fucking recluse, it's fucking working 48 hours out of 24 hours.

- That's why the fucking powerless system that I use is so perfect, dude, okay? It's the only guaranteed system for success, all right? If you follow it the way that I designed it, you cannot fucking lose, it's impossible, it's impossible.

It's literally impossible to fucking lose if you do it the way that it's lined out. Now, if you do it the way that you wanna do it, by putting in weak ass tasks and to do this, and you said, you're gonna lose, okay?

But if you do it the way it's designed, you can't lose, okay? And the greatest part about it is that

it's five critical tasks per day.

And once those five critical tasks are done,

Anything, what do you wanna do? You wanna go to the park, you wanna cut the grass, you wanna hang out with your kids, you wanna fucking smoke a bowl, I don't know, whatever you wanna do, fucking, you got it to do.

- But you got your shit down.

“- Yeah, your shit gets done and you get a life, okay?”

So this idea, there's also dude, there is a point of diminishing returns in a single work day, all right? So once you go past five, all right?

And you get the five critical tasks, and let's say,

oh, I'm gonna fucking do 10, I'm gonna do 15. You can't keep that up, okay? And the reason that it's hurtful is because that means you're gonna learn that you're failing the day is over and over.

You're gonna say, oh, yeah, I got seven done, but there's four that didn't get done. And that's gonna compound into that feeling of not being effective. So it's gonna take away from your confidence,

it's gonna take away from your belief. So it's very important that you stick to the way that it's designed, you do the five tasks, and then you get to live your life. And dude, I'm telling you that someone who's built

ship with the system, it works. And you don't have to work 40 hours of fucking day. You know, like, it's not sustainable. By the way, do you ever, like real talk? I mean, there's people say that.

Oh, man, I'm fucking working blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

None of the people say that I have the life to show for it. Oh, man, where is it at? Where is it? Where is it? I'm working my balls up, are you?

Yeah, rent the fucking, listen dude. Here's the guru play. (laughs) Talking head reels over someone else's shit, get enough people to pay you to buy a fucking exotic car,

stand in front of the exotic car, talk about how much you know, and hustle it. That's the play. And it's beyond me that people can't look past that and understand, like, bro, if you were that good,

what you say you're good at, then why the fuck aren't you doing it? And by the way, if your coach isn't in business currently with an actual business, how do they keep up on what's actually going on in real business

and not just the theory of what they think is going on?

- They should change every day. - That's right, that's right. - That's right.

“- That's why art is syndicates such a valuable thing”

that Ed and I do, because we're both in the fucking game. Like, for real, getting the game. - Still in the game, yeah, like, not, you know, oh, yeah, this is what everybody's doing. It's winning, look at this brand and look at that brand

and look at this guy's and look at that guy. That's not what the fuck they're doing. - Hey, we just tried this year. I just tried this one. - That's why that's today.

- Totally different thing, yeah, bro. - Totally different thing. It's real easy to break down everybody's shit on the internet and say they're doing shit right and wrong. Except for, you know, they're winning and you're not.

So, you know what I'm saying? - I do that's so real. - That's so real. - Like, you see how many fucking people - So breaking down brands that just kick ass,

talking about all their marketing's bad, whatever this is better, oh, okay. (laughing) (laughing) All right, I just don't listen, man.

“It's predatory at this point and you have to discern”

and you have to understand and you have to do due diligence. Are there people that can help you for sure? They are feet, it's 2% of the people that say they can. If they're not in the game or they have a bin in the game, the exact game that you shouldn't listen to.

They don't, it's theory, it's not, it's not reality. There are lots of things that people talk about in theory that don't work in reality, but they don't know that because they don't fucking run a company. Okay, I run a whole bunch of companies, all right.

I know what the fuck's working and what's not working. That's right. All right, like I know, no, I don't kind of know, I fucking know, you know, and like it's funny because sometimes, you know, you're getting like,

you know, you'll see some of these videos that people post and I want to like comment on it and be like, bro, you sound like the biggest fucking one I've ever heard my life. - That does not work. - Yes, right. But I'm not gonna do that because I'm gonna be a dickhead.

- That's right. - You know, but I think it every time. - Well, that would have worked three years ago. - The other thing I fucking can't get, that I get tired of, is this fucking ho-cocus-pocus-fucking, for-through shit. You know, like, oh, you gotta be in a place to receive

the gifts if you're gonna shut the fuck up. Okay, success is real simple. It's inputs and outputs. Did you do the fucking work? And did you do it at the right level?

And what was the result? It's that simple. You don't have to be in a place to fucking receive it. You don't have to fucking cumbaia. You don't gotta rub together, say,

just stick it up your butt hole. You don't have to fucking do any of that shit. You gotta do, you gotta work. You gotta execute, your execute has to be effective and it produces a result.

And that's fucking it. There's nothing else to it, okay? So get the fuck outta here with your- - Oh, gotta cumbaia shut the fuck up, dude. - Shut up.

- It's all bullshit.

“And makes people think they can be successful”

by rubbing their fucking thumbs together

and humming in the corner of their fucking bedroom. - I don't get it. - Yeah, it doesn't, dude. No. Anything new, anything to avoid doing the shit

that it actually takes. It's like, I'm gonna try the same thing. - And then you have, and then you have these coaches, like promoting this shit. And you know why they promote it?

Because that's an easy sell to people. It's an easy sell to people. They know that most people aren't gonna do it. So what do they tell 'em? They tell 'em all this shit that seems real easy.

Instead of the shit they need to hear, which is bro, you suck. You gotta get good. Or you're not working hard enough. You gotta put 'em more time.

Or both. And that's, dude, it's, it's inputs and outputs. It's fucking math.

“It's one plus one equals motherfucking two.”

That's what the fuck it is. And then anybody tells you any different is full of shit. Man, man, man. - Now if you wanna do all that shit

and you wanna hum in the corner and get some little symbols and fucking rub some bowls and whatever the fuck you wanna do, cool. - Yeah.

- And they're gonna make you money.

Now if you get your five critical tasks done.

- Yeah. - And then you wanna go rub mud all over your body and fucking son of your butt hole, whatever this the fuck you guys do. Like do it.

- Yeah, cool. - But they ain't gonna make, they ain't gonna fix your bank account, but they ain't gonna fix your business. - Okay.

- Oh man, I love it, dude. - It's a truth. - I love it.

“- Bro how much retarded shit do you wanna do on the internet?”

- That's so much out there. - Like that was the thing that I can't stand when people act. Like watch your fucking morning routine. What difference does it make?

What difference does it make?

What difference does it make? My morning routine probably wouldn't work for you. What difference does it make? All the matters is did you do your shit and did you do it well

and did you do it in a way that's undeniably better than anybody else? And did you do it long enough? And if you do those things, you're gonna fucking win. If you don't, you can hum in the corner

and rub the bowls and put the mud all over ya and fucking sit in ice bath with 15 other dudes and cry, you can do all the shit and you're still gonna fucking lose. - I don't know what to tell ya.

- Oh man, so. - This is good. - This is good. I like this man. And guys, that's the hell of a Monday, man.

- That's right. - That's right, dude. - We know what time it is. - We know what time it is, man. - You got CT out of the night.

- Listen man, this thing of show for bitches. - Yeah. - Okay, this is for people that wanna fucking win. - Really wanna win. - That really wanna win.

- Yeah. - I'm not gonna fluff you. I'm gonna tell ya all this stupid shit. I don't care what you do in the morning. I don't care what you do at night.

I don't fucking care. But I'm telling you what it takes to win and that's what it takes to win. Real talk. And that's it.

- That's it, man. - I love it, dude. You got CT out of the night, man. - That's right. - 7 PM Central.

- Yep. - On the tube and X. - I'm feeling chippy. - Yeah, oh yeah. (laughing)

- See you guys in a minute, man. - All right. - 80, that was 3. - All right guys, don't be a ho. - Shut up, shout.
