| 0:20.5 | say goodbye to the lies to think this end illusions of modern society welcome to motherfucking real guys today we have Q and a f that is where you submit the questions and I give you the a f's yeah so where do they submit guys email these questions into ask Andy at any for sell it I come for those of you that don't know this was originally the MFCO project it was the number one entrepreneur person development podcast on |
| 0:50.5 | iTunes for a number of years and we converted it to real a f back in 2019 to talk about a more wide range of topics now if this is your first time listening today we're going to answer some questions other shows that we do on this channel we do CTI which is cruise the internet |
| 1:11.5 | we throw up three headlines we break down the lies and the delusions of those headlines and we bring them to reality that is fucking that is seven years eight years of practice time shit together on the fly |
| 1:27.5 | then we have real talk real talk is where I go for like five to twenty minutes or so about a topic that is going to benefit you if you decide to listen and apply then we have full length full length is where bring on an interesting gas successful gas someone who kicks us we talk about how much as they kicked how they did it and then we also tie in how you can do it too because the biggest lie that we're told as human beings is that those things are for other people all you have the potential all of us |
| 1:57.5 | have the potential we just have to apply the skills so with that being said today is Q and a F and there is a fee like always and the fee is very simple if you like the show share the show if the show made you think share the show if you said hey fuck that guy share the show if you learn something new share the show we getting it it's real simple share the show I could sell you a whole bunch of shit based on the size of the show can make eight figures on this show |
| 2:27.4 | really easy just running ads for companies but I'm not answering anybody and I don't want you to think that I do so we don't do that and I ask that you share the show and return I think that's a fair trade |
| 2:37.4 | well I got some good ones for you bro oh no way you do I know that's surprising let's get into this man question number one Andy I have someone on my team who is a hard worker but only when I give them specific work to do how do you take someone who has a lot of potential and inspire them |
| 2:57.4 | to take initiative instead of having me to feed them every single task that is a difficult skill to install into someone who doesn't have it just being upfront honest |
| 3:10.2 | so do you have initiative yeah to have an issue right like you there's people who execute really well when you tell them what to do and then there's people who execute really well and what needs to be done of what they observe needs to be done |
| 3:24.0 | those people are ten times more valuable than the first set okay that would be one thing to explain I try to explain that to people around the office here who asked me pretty pretty often you know what can I do to accelerate my career well the biggest thing that you could do to accelerate your value in any position whether you're an entrepreneur whether you're an entrepreneur no matter what is to learn to identify the problems and then execute on those |
| 3:53.8 | problems with effective solutions without having to be directed the last part is the important part without having to be directed that's what executive level employees do okay |
| 4:09.5 | when we go into an executive level meeting because your goal if you're an entrepreneur or an entrepreneur should be to be in that room right like you're going to be there by default if you're an entrepreneur |
| 4:20.3 | but you may not have ten people in there with you if you suck right so you got to be the goals to be in that fucking room all right if you're trying to get there as an entrepreneur or an entrepreneur you have to learn to identify the critical problems that need to be done and you have to execute with an effective solution without being directed because when the CEO walks into that room and he says this is what we're doing he is not going to break down or she is not going to break down every specific |
| 4:50.3 | detail of every specific task they are counting on you to do that if you have the wrong person in the room that needs to be direct on every single detail of every specific task they will soon to be not in that room |
| 5:03.4 | that's the nature of how this works and I think just making your employees understand that they are infinitely more valuable when they can identify problems take action on them in the best way that they know how now are they going to make mistakes |
| 5:18.6 | fucking right they're going to make mistakes but if you have a good set of people with good character and you have they have the intent that we're going to solve problems for people then they are naturally going to do most of the time the right thing with maybe some tweaks and every time they |
| 5:36.2 | fuck it up which they will that's an opportunity to invest in their education by teaching them the lesson that's how they improve right and if you fuck it up with the customer the truth is is that when you have a disgruntled customer and you make it right over the top they become a bigger fan of you anyway so |
| 5:53.5 | usually you can salvage that relationship if you're if you're doing an operating in good faith doing the right things so really from a from a manager or a leader's point of view this is an education problem |
| 6:05.7 | this is a vision casting problem this is you paying the vision for that employee or those employees that they are to do what needs to be done without being directed to do it if they want to get to the highest value position in the company which is most likely anybody that's worth a shit's goal |
| 6:28.1 | okay that's real yeah follow up on that and because I mean you're you're a builder of people right when it comes to to seeing your employees when they take initiative right or they're following these core values |
| 6:41.3 | what's the reward system like right because like I like with the standards because I mean it's like you have these standards and it's like these are this is what it what's expected right yeah yeah |
