Summary

Too many people complain that their friends and family aren't supporting their business. Here's the reality: you're going to need way more than the support of your friends and family to be successful. Plus, your friends and family aren't obligated to support you. When it comes to the real world of business, they owe you nothing. It's your job to provide a quality product or service that everyone would want to support. And it's your job to sell them on that quality product or service. But above all, you have to think of support in terms of a bank account. Don't constantly ask other people to make withdraws on your behalf. You want to be the guy who make more deposits in other people's accounts.

0:00.0	What is up guys, you're listening to the MFCEO project I'm Andy, I'm your host and I am the
0:11.5	mother fucking CEO. Guys, today is Thursday Thunder, which means I'm going to reach down your
0:17.4	throat and rip your fucking tongue out and then I'm going to eat it with some fucking sweet
0:22.8	and sour sauce from McDonald's. You know I haven't had McDonald's in like seven, eight
0:27.9	years, believe it or not, I don't know why that just came to my mind, but I hate fucking McDonald's
0:34.1	and I don't eat it. But they're sweet and sour sauce on some chicken nuggets. We're talking about
0:39.1	something. I'm going to do something with that. Anyway, if I was going to eat a tongue, it would be
0:44.7	with sweet and sour. That's my fucking point. Here's what I want to talk to you guys about today.
0:50.5	All right. So many of you guys are wanting to be successful. You're wanting to start a company.
0:56.9	You're wanting to do this and they say you write in and you tell me Andy, my friends don't support
1:03.4	me. My family doesn't support me. My this, my girlfriend doesn't support me. My fucking
1:09.8	friends from school, they don't support me. Well, look, let's talk about this for a second.
1:16.1	All right. You cannot just expect people to support you because you started something.
1:24.0	All right. There could be a million reasons why they aren't supporting you. You cannot put that
1:31.8	obligation on other people and expect that to be the revenue driver for whatever it is you're
1:38.0	trying to start. Too many of you guys start a company and you think you're going to rely on your
1:43.0	friends and your family and people you know to shop there and buy from you and that's going to
1:48.3	get you started. That's wrong. Okay. First of all, they don't owe you shit. All right. Unless
1:55.2	you've been the kind of person that supports them and goes out of your way for them and has helped
2:01.6	them, they're not obligated to support you. And even then they still might not support you.
2:07.6	Number two, that's not enough people. I don't care how social you are to actually build a business
2:15.0	from. All right. You cannot build a business counting on your friends and family to shop with you
