I wanna be a motherfucking hustler. You better act somebody.

What is up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO project. I'm Andy, I'm your host and I am the mother fucking CEO.

Guys, if this is your first time listening, what is a motherfucking CEO? Well listen, the motherfucking CEO is the baddest motherfucker that you can be.

Alright, you have to understand, although this is an entrepreneurial podcast, being the entrepreneur of yourself, taking responsibility for yourself, looking at yourself as a business is a key to living an excellent, fulfilling and awesome life.

And dude, what fun is life without going through it with a little fucking swagger. You know what I'm saying? You wanna go through with like a little meek mouse,

oh, nimbly, bimbly, and if you know the movie I'm talking about, you're fucking awesome. But do you wanna be a meek little mouse or do you wanna go through life learning how to be a bad ass motherfucker?

And that's what we talk about here, it's not just business, it's life, okay. Guys, today I did something a little bit different. I actually opened up my Snapchat, which I don't often do, and asked people what they wanted me to talk about.

And I had a number of people, dozens of people say the same thing over and over again, and that's what I'm gonna talk about today, which is balance.

Okay, so many people asked me, Andy, I've got this girlfriend, and her anniversary, she wants to go out and spend like 500 bucks, and all I can think about is putting that money in my business, you know, should I just dump her?

Or then I said, hey Andy, how do I balance my family and work life and friends with my new business I'm trying to start? Hey Andy, you know, how do I accomplish all my business goals and still have time to do this?

I still have time for my friends to go out with. Here, let me answer this for you, you fucking can't. Okay, there's two different ways to look at balance guys, there's two different ways, and the average person looks at balance this way.

They look at balance as a daily, possibly weekly task, all right? I'm gonna work X amount of hours a day, then when I get off work I'm gonna spend time with my friends. Then I'm gonna do this, okay, and I own a nice balance a day.

They might look at it like a week, all right, I'm gonna work hard Monday through Friday, and then on the weekends I'm gonna have time for my friends. That's if they're like long-sided, all right?

There's also a completely other way to look at balance, and this is how successful people over the course of their life, we're talking financially, look at balance. They look at balance like this.

I can work hard for 10 years, and then do whatever the fuck I want the rest of my life. I can work hard for 15 years, give it all I have, do every fucking thing possible, and then I get to do whatever I want for the rest of my life.

That's balance, is it not? Okay, so it's all how you look at what balance is supposed to be. Here's the reality guys, you cannot go through life being...

Most people, let me rephrase what I was about to say, most people will go through life trying to be loyal to people that they have no obligation to be loyal to. That is, for example, high school friends, grade school friends, this girlfriend or this, that, you're going to progress, okay.

Your goal is to try to progress and grow and be as good as you can and build this awesome life that you dream about.

If your friends are not on that same track, when you get to that point, those people will not be in your circle of influence anyway.

So what happens is, a lot of times where I see, is people will sacrifice their business or the things they're trying to build for these friendships. That's a noble thought, I'm not saying that I'm not trying to be a jerk.

But I see people do this. My girlfriend now doesn't want me to work this many hours, so should I just dump her or should I have more balance in my life?

First of all, your girlfriend now probably ain't going to be your girlfriend a year from now. She probably isn't going to be there for the next fuck of 20 years when you're building whatever it is you're building.
