Yeah.

Went for sleeping on the floor. Now my jewelry box froze. Fuck a boat. Fuck a stove. Counted millions in a cold bed, bitch.

Booted swole. Got a own bank, bro. Can't fold. That's a no head

What is up, guys? It's Andy Priscilla, and this is the show for the realists. Say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome to motherfucking reality. Guys, today, we have our first cue in AF of 2025. That's where you submit the questions, and we give you the answers.

Now you can submit your questions a couple different ways. First way is, you still submit them

the same. Guys, email these questions in to askandy@andyforsella.com.

Good job. Thanks. Yeah. Or you go on YouTube in the q and a f episodes. Drop your question in the comments.

We'll choose some from there as well. Other times throughout the week, you know the deal. We're gonna have CTI. That stands for cruise the Internet. That's where we put topics on the screen.

We speculate on what's going on. We talk about, what's true, what's not true, and then we talk about how we, the people, had solved these problems going on in the world. Other times, we're gonna have real talk. Real talk is just 5 to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talk. Then we're gonna have 75 hard versus.

75 hard versus is where someone or a number of people come on the show. They talk about how they were before, how they are now, and how they use 75 hard to completely transform their lives and how you can do the same. Now, if you're unfamiliar with 75 hard, it's the initial phase of the live hard program, which you can get for free at episode 208 on the audio feed. Live hard 75 hard is the world's most popular mental transformation program, and like I said, it is free. K?

Transformation program, and like I said, it is free. Okay? Episode 208 on the audio feed. There's also a book. The book is called the book on mental toughness.

You can get it at andyfersella.com. It includes the entire live hard program, nuts, bolts, inside and out, every question answered, plus a whole bunch of chapters on mental toughness, why it's important, how to cultivate, and what it can do for your life. Now with that being said, the book is not required, but people who like the ins and outs and know the details of everything, it's for you. You're gonna love the book. Alright?

So get that atandyprucella.com. By the way, Friday was National Quitter's Day, which most people quit on their New Year's resolutions. So I'd like to remind you, that we are going to start 75 hard today. So all of you guys who quit, all of you guys who, you know, already gave up and fucking went back to your old fat ass ways, we're gonna start today. Okay?

I know I told you I was gonna start last week, but, I figured I'd wait for you guys who, you know, you start a little bit and then you fucking fall off. We're fucking starting today, guys. Alright? So let's do this today. Let's do it together.

And I like to remind you of the fee for the show. The fee is very simple. Share the show. We don't run ads on the show. This is the biggest show in the world that doesn't run ads.

We finance the show ourselves. We deal with censorship, throttling, all the bullshit that they say they don't do. We still get it. So do us a favor and share the show. Alright?

Got a little thing that we say over here. It goes like this. Don't be a hoe. Show the show.

It's a process.

Who did that? Did you do that?

I knew it. Yeah. Myself. Bro, it is a thing. It's a process.

Like, you can mess it up real bad, real easy.

Super easy. You know, like, it it's it's always sucks because, like, my hair even when I, you know, I had hair up here Yeah. It's not the same. Like, it's 2 different textures. You know what I'm saying?

This is I don't know what this is here.

My fucking beard ain't the same as my hair up there either.

But, like, even my my my, Your downstairs hair? Downstairs is like, downstairs carpet don't match the upstairs carpet. You know what I'm saying?

We got, like, we got, like, ginger balls or something.

It's kinda in between, actually. It's like in between DJ's

the only black guy in the world with ginger balls. Ginger balls.

No, man. It's a process though, man. You gotta shampoo condition and then I, like, blow my mouth.

Shampoo condition your ball hair?

My beard. Oh. The beard. Yeah. The beard to process.

Downstairs, I just, you know, it's like Amazon there for Forrest Town.

I gotta you gotta trim that down. It adds extra length.

Is that what it is? Yeah. I do trim on now. Yeah. Yeah.

It's optical illusion. Are you using that? You wanna hear my nare story?

No. Because I I got 1 too, bro. We won't say that for CTI. Bro, don't don't let that stuff get in your in your butt crack. Bro, it's so bad.

It's so bad.

Bro, it was

so bad.

It was so bad. Oh, man. Shit burns. Oh, I got it.

And it smells bad.

Dude, I had another I got

You can't get the smell. The smell doesn't go away for days.

No. You know what the worst pain is? So in the police academy, I go through OC's training. Right? Yep.

And you get sprayed. Mhmm. They don't tell you exactly when it is. Like, you just know it's coming up. Right?

And I had, you know, I used to shave down there. Yeah. Like, baby fresh. Yeah. K?

And I just shaved, like, I think the day before. And so come in, like, alright, guys. It's OC day. I'm like, okay. It's on another, you know, do the spray.

It's fine. You go take a shower. Take a shower. It all Yeah. Goes down.

Yeah. Probably I mean, it's like childbirth. I would imagine it'd be comparable. Bro, 1 time,

I threw I had a I had a little rash down there. You know how, like, those big guys, we get a little chafing down there sometimes.

You get some chafing. You know what

I'm saying? Yeah. I threw some of that medicated gold bomb powder in there. Oh, dude. Oh, dude.

That was a fucking mistake. I thought that would fix it. Put gold bars here? Bro, I thought that would fix it. It said medicated.

So I'm like, oh, this will fix it. That was a terrible mistake. Yeah. And then the other the then 1 time, dude, like, this is even worse. That's

bad. Yeah.

I know. This is even worse, though. So another time like, dude, do you remember when you were playing football? They just had that stuff in the locker room where it was just called fucking red hot. It was, like, in a white little jar.

Mhmm. They might have quit making this shit because it was dangerous, dude. Anyway, it's, like, super, like, industrial strength, like, fucking,

what Ben gay?

It's like Ben gay, but it's it's not Ben gay. It's called red hot. Uh-huh. And what's that shit that you got? Tiger bomb?

Tiger bomb. Yeah.

Okay. It's like tiger bomb. Alright? But it's super hot. That's some good stuff.

Tiger bomb works, bro.

That's some good stuff. So

I put some of that on. Like, I had, like, a oh, I dude, I I do remember this exactly. I had a fucking strained groin muscle.

Mhmm.

Okay. So I had to, like, I had to, like, get some of that on there. Right? Up in the groin. And a little bit got on the Yep.

You know, on the on the carrying bag down there.

You know what I'm saying?

Right. Right.

It's just in the car.

Yeah. And then, you know, this might be why I don't have kids.

I thought there was a commercial for this.

Fuck, dude. But, anyway loved 1.

Everybody's red hot. Yeah, dude.

They got on your balls. Maybe entitled. Yeah. But, dude, I like, 7 hours later, dude, like, I fucking touched my eye. Oh, man.

Like and, dude, my eye burned for, like, 3 fucking days, dude. Like, like Oh, man. Anyway

Well, that's the lesson I've

been doing, guys. So first, we lost everybody. See you guys tomorrow. If you're still

here, let's get better. Yeah. Let's get better. So lesson number 1.

Don't put any red hot on your nuts.

Yeah. No. No. No.

Don't touch your eyeballs

on the shopping bags. Yeah. No. Alright, man. I'm down, man.

I'm right. Well, I got 3 good ones for you. You do? Let's knock them out. Alright.

Guys,

how does anyone listen to anything I say after that?

Man, this guy's laying down some knowledge. Yeah. I guarantee you Google searches for red hot. He goes through the roof right now. Alright.

Well, let's get better, man. Guys, Andy, question number 1. Andy, I'm a 25 year old business owner. Just getting started. And I have a lot of people wanting to give me advice and help me in any way possible.

From friends to family to business owners. A popular topic always gets brought up and is this, stay as small as you can for as long as you can. I listened to what they have to say, but I don't agree with that statement at all. My goals are much larger than to stay small forever. I wanna grow, expand, and employ people because I believe in myself to take this time and make it really successful for not only me, but other people who want a career in this sector.

That statement lingers in my head over and over. A few close friend of mine have said it. The bigger you are, the more headaches. What's your thoughts on all of this? How do you what what is the proper advice here?

The proper thing to do is

to never listen to anybody who hasn't done what the fuck you wanna do. Okay? You guys mess yourselves up because you go out and you ask everybody who's never been there, who's never created anything, who's never built anything, and you ask them what they think. What the fuck do you think they're gonna say? They have no idea.

That's like asking someone the best place to eat in China that's never been to fucking China, bro. They don't know. So you have to start qualifying who you're asking advice from. If they don't live the life that you wanna live, don't listen to what they have to say. If you do listen to what they have to say and you take it to heart and you go to do your thing or create or build your business around what somebody who's never built a business has to say whether that be your mom, your dad, your brother, your cousins, your aunts, your uncles, all these motherfuckers come out of the woodwork like they've done this shit and they haven't.

Okay? And if you listen to them, you will be like them. Alright? That is it. So why are you listening to people who have never done the thing it is you want to do?

Why would you do that? It it it's it's literate it makes you stupid as fuck. Okay? That means you're stupid. Secondly, I think you're misunderstanding what people are saying.

Okay? I don't think they're saying to you and maybe they are because maybe your friends and family are just that fucking dumb. But I don't think they're saying to you stay small forever. I think what they're saying to you is and this is what I would say to you is to keep your lifestyle small, keep your bill small, stay agile, and be able to pivot quickly. A biggest the biggest advantage that you're gonna have as a small business is your ability to pivot and make moves quick when you're competing against bigger companies.

Bigger companies, when they try to pivot and make moves and change things, that's like turning around a fucking cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. Okay? It takes a minute. Yeah. For you, it's like a jet ski.

You can just fucking turn and and that's where you're able that's your advantage as a smaller business. You don't have the employees. You don't have the experience. You don't have the knowledge, but you're agile and you're quick and you're able to make adjustments fast, which allows you to pay attention to what bigger companies are doing, see them start to make the adjustment, you pivot right away, and you actually beat them to it. Okay?

So this fluidity and, agility is a massive advantage for someone who's running a smaller company against people who are running bigger companies. And that's something to think about. Okay? That's a good advantage for staying small. But to your point, you're not gonna always be small.

You're gonna wanna employ people. You're gonna wanna grow business. And, you know, to make a lot of fucking money, bro, you gotta have a pretty big fucking business. That's reality. So I'm assuming that the reason that you're in this is because you wanna be financially successful, and you're right.

You're gonna need employees, and you're gonna need, to scale, and you're gonna need to grow, and you're gonna need, you know, line extensions of your products and all these different things, integrations. Those things will come. But as they come, you should always try to maintain the agility and the ability to pivot of a small company. Okay? 1 of the best things about the companies that I'm involved in is that we don't do corporate hierarchy bullshit.

Mhmm. Okay? We work really hard. And some of it you can't avoid because you're gonna have to have systems. You're gonna have to have, you know, procedures.

And but the more of that shit that you have, the less agility you have, which means the slower it is for you to move. So and this is like the government. This is why the government sucks. Alright? They they have the that's a whole another job.

We'll talk about that tomorrow. But the point is is that becoming a bigger company and maintaining the idea of small, agile, quick to pivot is really the success recipe that you need to have. So that's what I would say to that. Keep your bills small. Keep your lifestyle small as long as possible.

Okay? And I did that. Like, bro, like, people who become successful, dude, they they don't just, like, make their first $1,000,000 and go out and buy a fucking house or a car or this or that. They reinvest that, and they roll it over again and again and again and again and again. And, eventually, they're they're buying cars like like other people are buying fucking candy at the grocery store.

Like, they don't give a fuck. Okay? And that's where you wanna be.

Yeah.

You you wanna be to the point where you're not having to really, pay attention to your lifestyle because your business is so big. So I think that's the advice I would give you. But the biggest advice of this whole question is don't listen to fucking people who haven't done what you wanna do. Don't listen to them. Don't listen to them for a second.

If you have a very good friend or maybe you have a dad or a mom or an uncle who has some business experience, or maybe they don't have any and and they're just like, hey. Look. I don't know much about this, but I'll support you anyway. Here's what I learned. I read this, and maybe you think about that.

That's shit you can listen to.

That's cool. Yes.

Because they're making an effort to try to help. I had a lot of people in my life coming up who, you know, always gave me advice. And and, dude, because I didn't know, like, I didn't know, I would take it. But they didn't know either. And so I spent all this time making all these mistakes based upon what other people thought.

That had no idea. So why the fuck would I listen to what they thought when I should just be listening or or trying what I I'm more qualified than them. I'm in the game. They're not in the game. You see what I'm saying?

Yeah. And as a young entrepreneur, you know, what did he say? 25?

Yeah. 25 years old.

Dude, we've gotta get to the point where we are trusting ourselves. And the way that we learn to trust ourselves is by going out, doing what we think is best, making some mistakes, learning from mistakes, and then continuing down the path. And, dude, like I tell you guys over and over and over again, you really only need a couple things to be successful long term. You gotta build the grit, the determination, the fortitude to not quit, and you gotta be smart enough to learn from your mistakes. Okay?

The first time. It it it for sure, the second time. If you're someone that can make the same mistake 7 times, you can't make it in business. It's fucking impossible. But if you're someone that can, you know, make that mistake and then say, alright.

Cool. I lost $10,000 today because I made this mistake. That lesson cost me $10,000 and then look at it as an investment in your education and then never make that mistake again. Bro, there's no limits to how far you can go. So, anyway, don't listen to people who haven't done what it is you wanna do ever.

They have no fucking clue what they're talking about. And everybody out here on the Internet thinks there's some sort of life philosopher or fucking business adviser. How many business advisers and gurus do we have on the Internet that never built a fucking company? You can't order their product. You can't see their employees.

You can't see what the fuck they do, but somehow they know everything about business. How many fucking life philosophers do we have on the Internet who write all this shit about life and you look at their life and it's a fucking dumpster fire? Start qualifying who you take advice from. It's a major major major skill set that you have to have. You cannot fucking take advice from people who are not in a position that you wanna be in.

Now there are there is 1 exception to that. If there was someone who was in that position and then lost that position, you can listen to that person too because that person will give you valuable insight as to how not to burn your own shit down.

Mhmm. I love it. Andy Andy, you described, a a a few times, you know, about, like, you know, imagine you're driving the Titanic. Right? You kinda, like, as the owner operator, you kinda have to, like, look out and see

Right. When the icebergs are or navigate the boat. Right?

What would you say was 1 of those, like, moments where you had to make that pivot early on in business? What was, like, 1 of those first icebergs you kinda saw and had to readjust and you were able to readjust because you were smaller?

Man, there's been so many, dude. I don't think I can name 1. It's just a normal part of business. That's like asking someone who is like, you know, how many breaths did you take today? I fucking know now.

Yeah. You

know what I'm saying? Like, that's normal shit. Yeah. But here's what I will tell you. I will tell you that if you lack the ability to see what is happening in the environment, the business market, whatever it is, whatever game you're playing and where you're playing, if you lack the ability to have foresight and vision as to what's actually coming and you can't make a plan to navigate through, you can't you can't do it, dude.

You have to be able to look out on the horizon and say, okay. This is happening. This is happening. This is happening. We gotta do this.

We gotta move this way and then that way. We gotta zig and then zag at this exact time. Yeah. That's a huge part of running an organization, and it's a skill that you're gonna learn over time. You know, it's not something that people are gifted with, but that also comes, dude, with bigger visions.

Right? A lot of people, they they dude, here's the truth. A lot of people just shouldn't be entrepreneurs. They wanna fucking have a place where they show up every day at 11:30 with a fucking Starbucks, and they wanna stay till 2, and they wanna walk in, and they wanna look around, and and they think they're gonna make a gazillion dollars. And that's not how the fuck it works, bro.

You've gotta be able to understand every single element of every single detail of every single product in every single market environment, period. And you have to be able to anticipate and you have to be able to see what's coming and you have to be able to, have the confidence to make the move now versus after everybody else has made the move. And that's another thing that entrepreneurs do, bro. It's a me too business. Because entrepreneurship has become so accessible, people run it as like a me too.

Okay? And what I mean by that is they see everybody else do something, and then they do it. Yes. I'll do it. Bro, you're too fucking late.

Mhmm. You're too late.

Yeah.

You have to be making those moves before everybody else. And when you're a small company, you could do that quickly. Yeah. And and that's a huge advantage.

Yeah. That reminds me, in college, when our offensive coordinator, he was, like, doing a a film study with us 1 time. He put out the questions like, what what makes the quarterback the best quarterback? Right? And everybody, like, gives it to him.

Oh, you gotta fucking throw it long. You gotta throw it far. He was like, no. You gotta be able to read the defense. It's not even just that.

Read the defense and know when a fucking blitz is coming.

You know? That's only part of it, bro. You know what the you know who makes you know what the next best quarterback is? The guy who could fucking read the defense. Yeah.

That's a good quarterback. Most people can't. Right? But do you know what the best the next best 1 is?

What's that?

It's the guy that can run 3 or 4 plays in a row to run that 5th play.

Mhmm.

Okay? So he's running this this dive, and then they're running this toss, and then they're running this play action, and then they're running this, and then they run the play they're trying to score on. So it's chess. Right? And business is no different.

You're gonna make these little moves that are going to set up the big move that you're trying to make. And that's that's that's what makes a great fucking visionary operator. I love it, man.

I love it, guys. Andy, question number 2. Andy, I own a commercial cleaning company here in Arizona and now have some of the biggest names in the state as clients. But last year, when I was trying to land bigger clients, I had the opportunity to clean 1 of the biggest names and brands in the states, and I fucked up the job. But I now have employees, top of the line equipment, and confidence to do any job.

So at the start of Q2, I sent in a handwritten message with a nice bottle of tequila apologizing asking for another opportunity to work together. But I got no response. Any advice on how I can restore that relationship? Business relationships, are they salvageable? How do you do it?

Yeah. First of all, they're salvageable. 2nd of all, when you salvage them, especially when someone is disgruntled with your services and then you exceed what they initially expect expected from you, they will actually become a massive advocate for your brand. So what I mean by that is this. You piss them off.

Now you've gotta make it right. The your first attempt to make it right didn't work. Right? But if you get the opportunity to do it and you do it in an, you exceed their expectations of what they originally had and went so over the tap, Now that person becomes an advocate of you. Now they're telling all their other business buddies, dude.

Listen. Work with this guy. Work with that guy. Work with this guy. And so when you when you piss someone off, the ability to make it right is almost worth pissing them off because of how good of an advocate they become when you exceed, the expectations of what the job was in the beginning Originally, yeah.

And take an extra step to make it right. So what I would do is I would instead of writing a letter, I would show up there, and I would figure out who the decision maker is. And I would say, hey. Here's the deal. I know I fucked this up.

Let me fucking do it for free. Mhmm. Let me do it for free. Let me do let me do everything for free, and let me show you how I can do it. And then when you go in and do it, you do it like you'd if you clean the carpets, bro, you also clean their windows, and then you go out and wash all their cars.

Okay? I'm talking about, like, over the top so that they're like, holy shit. Okay? So that's that's what I would do. And I would be relentless in in my pursuit to have the opportunity to do that knowing that the story that it's going to create is gonna be beneficial to business.

I would not give up on getting that customer back. I would not give up on doing whatever I had to do to make sure that that was right, and I would not give up on creating an amazing experience where they had to tell people, how awesome of a job that you did.

I was I was gonna ask you, like, is there a point where, like, okay, it's cute. It didn't work. That didn't work. I mean, do you give up at all? You kinda answered that.

No. You just

keep going. Because, eventually, you're gonna get it, and that'll be part of the story. Mhmm. You look, dude. The story will be this.

Hey. You gotta use DJ over here, man. The guy fucking cleaned the carpets, but let me tell you something about him. The first time he cleaned them, he fucked them up. Then he sent me a bottle of tequila.

I didn't respond. Then he showed up at my business, and he said he'd do it for free. Then he and I still didn't let him do it. And then he wouldn't leave me alone for a year. And finally, I let him do it, dude, and this is what he did.

You gotta fucking use him. The guy's relentless. He's he's he's the best, most dedicated person I've ever met at this, and that's the that's the recommendation that you're you're trying to build here. Mhmm. And you're gonna build that by inconveniencing yourself until you you've get done what you're trying

to do. Alright. I don't wanna miss this nugget here because I feel like this is also important. You're talking about when you over deliver that. I feel like when you're when you do that, you're you're you're also setting a new standard.

So how important is it to make sure that, like, you don't just do really good that 1 fucking time?

You gotta do it. That's the other thing, and that's a great point. Whatever standard you operate at when you get the second opportunity, you have to operate at that standard forever and ever and ever. Have to. Mhmm.

So, and by Short, strong. The way, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you operate at that standard all the time if you're trying to get referral business? That's how people buy. People don't necessarily buy from ads.

They buy from word-of-mouth. They buy from stories. They use services that their friends use. You wanna own those stories. That's the whole game.

So you own those stories. You own those recommendations. Your business is gonna grow.

Yeah. Don't just do it once and

then, alright.

We got it. Yeah.

That won't work anyway. Yeah. That won't work anyway because the second time you do it, they're gonna be like, oh, this guy was full of shit. I knew the first time.

Yeah. Fucking man. Jeez. I love it. That's Andy question number 3.

Let's go to 3rd and final question. Guys, Andy, question number 3. Hey, Andy and DJ. Huge fan of the podcast. And I've been following you in 1st form for a while now.

Big fan of the work you're doing. I read your books. Every year, I love to take some time to reflect on past year and set goals for the year ahead. I find this practice really helps me stay focused and motivated. But I'd love to hear your take on it.

Do you have any specific strategies or practices you follow when setting goals for the upcoming year? And what's your process for reflecting on the year that's passed and planning for what's next? Thanks for your time. Really appreciate everything you do and looking forward to hearing your thoughts. That

I don't operate that way. I don't operate that way. I've never operated that way. I've never I've never sat down at the beginning of the year and been like, this is what I wanna do this year, or this is what I wanna do next year. My goals are so big that they take multiple years.

So, like, I don't think of it like that. And when I used to think of it like that, I never achieved any of those things. So I look at it just like I teach you guys, which is this. 1 day at a time. I look at it very simply.

This is my goal. This is my huge goal that I'm trying to achieve over the course of my life. K. This is this is who I'm becoming. This is what I'm creating.

This is the businesses that I'm gonna create. This is the physical shape I'm gonna walk around in. This is the lifestyle I'm gonna live, and I I fucking lay it all out there. Okay? Then I attack it 1 day at a time.

Okay? Just like I talk about in the podcast, win the day, which is episode 16 on Real AF. If you go back to episode 16 on Real AF, we talk in-depth about this thing called the Powerlist. Alright? And I actually have a an app launching for this any day now called the Powerlist app.

Okay? And it's a productivity app that lets you do this right there on your phone. But, basically, if you go listen to it, it'll explain to you the productivity system that I have used for the last 25 years to build my life. So understand this. Huge life.

Huge business. Badass physical condition. Awesome lifestyle. All these things go into what I want. Okay?

And then I back that down into a day by day by day system. And then I just look at it. Did I win today? Did I win do I win tomorrow? Do I win the next day?

And I don't think of it as this massive thing. I just think of it as, you know, 1 day at a time. And and, dude, that is the only way you can fucking win. And it's, by the way, the only way that you can guarantee success. You cannot fucking lose if you win every day.

You can't lose. There is no x factor. There is no magic. There is no, you know, fucking failure villain that's gonna come in and fuck your shit up, bro. If you win every day, you cannot fucking lose at life.

So what does a win every day look like for you? Go listen to episode 16, and it'll help you figure that out. The live hard program is an excellent framework for success over the course of your life because it is all the things that I have done over the course of my life that have produced this in a repeatable system year by year by year. A lot of people will say, oh, live hard. You're only it doesn't you gotta do it over and over.

No shit, bro. Just like you gotta take a shower. Discipline's a perishable skill like playing guitar. If you don't fucking practice guitar, you're gonna suck at guitar. If you don't practice in jujitsu, what's gonna happen?

You're gonna get your fucking ass beat. If you don't practice shooting guns, you're not gonna be good at shooting guns. If you don't take a fucking shower, you're gonna fucking stink. Okay? This is the idea of discipline as well.

It is a perishable skill. If you do not practice it over and over and over and over again, you get mentally weak, and then you cannot win the days. So go to the live hard program. Live it every single fucking year. It's less than half the year of a commitment to being perfect which creates a situation where you're generally getting almost everything out of your life that you want.

And the biggest thing that you get is you get the ability to have the choice to do what it is you want to do with your life because you have built the skill of discipline and you can adhere to any plan that you set forth for yourself. It's not that you don't know what to do. It's that you can't fucking do it when it's not comfortable for you to do, and that's why people lose. So what would your life look like if you were able to adhere perfectly to every motherfucking plan that you ever set out for yourself from the time that you were born to now. Would your life look completely different?

The answer for every single fucking person listening to this is yes. So fix that problem now and you will have the choice at a bare minimum to become whatever it is that you want to become. And this is a huge deal because people will say, well, fuck, dude. What if I do all this work and I don't get where I wanna go? And they'll talk themselves out.

That is impossible. It does not happen. It does not exist. Well, so and so is a roofer. He works harder than you.

Yes. At what? At driving nails into fucking shingles. Okay? No offense, but that's not a fucking high brain capacity situation.

We're talking about strategically designing your life to become what it is you want to become. Okay? And no disrespect to anybody who wants to go do whatever they do or work very hard. I have massive respect for that. But if you want to graduate from having to work hard into the situation that everybody says, it's it's it's work smart, not hard.

No. It's work very hard and then smart. And then the fucking shit starts to come together. In the beginning, you're gonna have to work your fucking balls off. The point is this.

If you develop the ability to adhere and you develop discipline and you practice it over and over and over again, there's literally nothing that you can't become, create, or build if you win day by day by day. I love it, man.

I love it. Hell of a way to start a Monday, man. Yeah. Yeah. Kick some ass.

Took, it took took a little minute to get started there. Yeah. Just a little bit. Ball's burning.

Shopping bag.

Hey. Look, dude. That's the truth, guys. If you fucking if you can if you can build in yourself, which is what the live hard program is all about, the ability to adhere the ability to adhere. Like, really think about this.

I want you to really think about this. And by the way, we're fucking starting today. But I want you to really think about this. What would your life look like if you had the ability to adhere to every single plan, every single dream, every single goal that you have set forth for yourself from the time that you were 10 years old to however you are now. What would your life look like?

It would look completely different. So fix that fucking problem of adherence and everything takes care of itself. Because now you could say, I wanna be this. That could be I wanna be a superior athlete. You could become that.

I wanna be this. It could be an accomplished musician. You could become that. I wanna be a black belt in jujitsu. You could become that.

I wanna build an amazing company. You could become that. I wanna build an amazing relationship. You could do that. There's literally nothing you fucking can't do if you can develop a plan and then adhere to it.

It's not that people don't know what to do. It's that they can't fucking do it. So fix that problem and you fix your whole life. Alright? So go check out episode 208 on the audio program.
