The Mfceo Project

The average person approaches the whole concept of "finding yourself" in a passive way. Truly successful people know that "figuring out" who you are meant to be isn't an issue of figuring out anything at all. It's a decision. You decide who you are and order your life to reflect that decision. You create the character. You put on the clothes. You go through the motions. You visualize it until you realize it.

I've told you guys that my early years of business were rough. I made every mistake possible.I felt like an idiot working hard and getting no results. I hated it. So at some point I made a decision that when I "made it," I was going to help people through those rough early years of entrepreneurship. In today's episode, I sit down with 7 entrepreneurs - the winners of our MFCEO testimonial contest - to answer their questions and provide some direction. They asked great question you're asking too.

So many people wait and wait and wait…to make a change…to get their sh*t together…to take advantage of an opportunity. They don't act with urgency until it's too late...and they suffer the consequences. But successful people are different. They live every day with urgency...even when they are way ahead! In this episode, I talk about how people suffer from "selective urgency," how to identify it, how to avoid it, and what to do in place of it...so that you can cultivate the habits high earners possess.  

I can tell you from personal experience most people get exactly what they expect. Not what they want. Not what they say they want. They don't get what they deserve.THEY GET WHAT THEY EXPECT. What is that supposed to mean? In this episode, I explain this concept, why it's important and how to apply it.

What's wrong with Millennials? I have built a strong, multi-million dollar brand, working almost exclusively with Millennials. Millennials are doing some badass sh*t. That said, they do have one downfall. They have an issue with patience. In this episode, I talk about how they - and you - can overcome that issue by developing "aggressive patience," while is a key to dominating everything in life.

There are 3 types of people: Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3. Most people are Number 3. They aren't extraordinary in any way, but can perform basic tasks. Number 2 is good, but not great. Number 1? Those are the type who demonstrate initiative, creativity, and execution.  They are rare and valuable.  They get paid extremely well because they deserve it. They have the life they want because they earned it. In this episode, I talk about how to manage all three types and how to become a Number 1.

Can you draw a line in the sand? Can you decide that f*cking enough is enough and that the change you need to make is far more important than the sacrifice it will take to make it? The problem is, too many people can't do that. Too many people think they can make endless compromises with themselves, and that they have plenty of time to get around to the life they want. F*ck that! They don't. Successful people know that. And they resolve to cut the bullsh!t and get serious: Immediately.  

Years before all entrepreneurs were using electronic media to promote their businesses…years before the bar was lowered WAY down and anybody could pitch themselves as a expert, coach, or guru…there was an elite group of trailblazers who built real businesses, impacted millions of lives, and created massive amounts of wealth. They became legends of success. Dean Graziosi is one of them. In this episode, he and I cover everything you need to know about how successful people think and act.

So many of you struggle with saying a word that so many of the people around you need to hear.  If you learned to say this word, you would release so much of the frustration that you've internalized. If you learned to say it, people would respect you. You'd gain credibility. You'd gain confidence. Everything from your leadership to your productivity would improve. So what's the word? 

One thing I've learned is that people are almost always wrong about why they aren't succeeding in business (and life). They think they're not a "born leader." They think they aren't selling because their product or service isn't priced low enough. They're worried that if they really put themselves into their brand, it won't fly with people. The truth is, problems can be traced to flaws in how you operate as a person.  In this episode, I talk about what those are and how you can get them straight.

I can't tell you how often I hear people say, "I really mean it this time! This year is going to be different." But then there's always a reason why it isn't. Listen: Are you in love with the idea of success? Or do you love actual success? The reality is, success takes sacrifice, time, and the willingness to make tough decisions. But it can be done. It's hard, but not impossible. In this episode I challenge you to have a drastically different year in a very specific way.

Can you 100% guarantee success in anything? Yes. And it doesn't mean that you have to work so many hours that you never sleep.  What it does mean is that you identify the critical tasks that have to be completed TODAY. There's no better day than the first day of the new year to review the system – the tool – that has helped me complete critical tasks and become rich and successful. If you faithfully and consistently use the tool, you can become rich and successful, too.

At the end of every year, people find excuses for why they didn't do what they PROMISED themselves they were going to do. But then they say sh*t like, "2016 was practice.  2017 was a warm-up.  Now 2018 is game time!" Seriously? What a joke. They aren't going to make a change. They aren't really going to accomplish anything. And neither are you...but it's probably not because you're lazy. It's something else. In this episode, I tell you what it is--and how, if you really want to crush the new year, you can. 

This 200th episode of our podcast is like the f*cking box of chocolates that your Aunt Paula is going to inhale this Christmas. It's an educational and entertaining assortment of stories, rants, and practical insights about everything from being fearless and aggressive to raising 100-0 mindset kids and understanding that there's really nothing you can't bounce back from in life—except death. My dad and brother join me in the studio, so you know things get interesting real fast.

You can develop the same drive for success as The Greatest of All Time…elite athletes like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and even Michael Jordan.  There is zero reason you can't be a Hall of Fame level performer in everything you do in life. That's what my friend Tim Grover says, and he should know. He is the one of the most revered mental toughness and performance coaches in history. Those guys I just mentioned? They chose to work with him.  In this episode, Tim and I talk about how YOU can be like them.

You know how many people who fully committed themselves to becoming a billionaire AT LEAST ended up becoming a millionaire or multi-millionaire? Every one of them.  But most people don't get it. Most people still set "small realistic goals." You can't be like that if you want the kind of life that people would kill for.  You have to redefine what's "realistic" and learn to visualize what's possible, which is every f*cking thing you can dream up. So set massive f*cking goals!

What's your excuse for not making millions? My friend Randall Pich was raised by his mom in extreme poverty, in one of the most dangerous parts of the country. Now he's the very wealthy founder of multiple brands, most notably Live Fit Apparel, a top social media influencer, and a model for how to build an enthusiastic following around an in-demand brand. In this episode, we talk about the connections between creativity and business, and how these things apply to the art of making money.

How does the story unfold for someone who is pursuing their million dollar dreams? What are the stages of success and the critical moments along the way? How does the person who achieves something truly great think? What do they do? Ed Mylett, one of the wealthiest, most successful guys I've ever had on the show, shares his life story and lessons on money, God, and "maxing out." Ed is the head of World Financial Group, a multi-million dollar financial organization.

When you begin developing into the person that you know you really are - and are meant to be - people close to you don't always take it well. They push back. They mock you. They laugh at you. When that happens, most people (you?) feel like a fraud and don't know how to power through the resistance they experience.  I know.  I've been there. But I figured out how to outlast that backlash, and in this episode, I tell you how you can, too. 

A lot of people spend exorbitant amounts of time wondering what other people have that they don't. Especially when we are in the beginning of our success journey. I know. I used to do the same thing! In this episode, I nail down the specific action that successful people (in any area of life) do that unsuccessful people don't. I guarantee it will surprise you to find out what it is!
