Hey, what's up, everybody? We are back with another episode of Wake Up to Wealth. And today we're going to do a little bit different. You know, we really try to always bring you informative guests and talk about subjects around wealth and things of that nature.
And today I want to do a little bit different because if you've ever heard me speak on stage or if you've ever been in a room with me, you know, you know, I like to be authentic. I like to be raw. And I just like to tell people the truth. And I've got my good friend Brandon Hudson here today who works with me. What's up, brother? How you doing, man? And, you know, we're we're going to do a series.

And so we're into a couple of shows like this and it's going to be we're going to get off the fucking chain a little bit.

Chapter 2: Why is entrepreneurship described as hard?
So, you know, one thing I want to start out and talk about today is, you know, entrepreneurship as a whole. Right. So, you know, social media. I just want to have an honest conversation about this. So if you're out there and you're listening to this, you know, entrepreneurship is fucking hard and social media will have you believe it is for everyone. Everyone can be successful. It's not difficult.
And one of the things I just want to kind of talk to you guys today about is just the reality of entrepreneurship. And do I, yeah, I believe inherently most people can be successful, but but I believe an honest conversation needs to take place today about what it actually fucking takes. Right.
And, um, you know, you've seen this firsthand, uh, Brandon for context, um, coaches, MMA fighters, been an MMA fighter himself, but also hires recruits, trains, coaches, salespeople within my organization. And, uh, You know, there's only so much room at the top and there's a reason why there's the ninety nine and a hundred or there's the ninety nine percent and there's one percent.
And yeah, I'm fucking calling you out if you're listening to this. The reality of it is, is the amount of work obsession grind it takes to get to the one percent. Most motherfuckers are just not built for that shit. You're just not built for it. And, you know, can you find it? Yes. But in reality, Brandon can can attest to this. We've had so many people that have come into our environment.
Chapter 3: What does it take to succeed in entrepreneurship?
I'm willing to do whatever. I'm willing to grind. Yeah, dog. I want the money. I want this. The minute they get punched in the face, they fucking fold. Same thing in the gym. But you see social media and you see the highlight reels. We're not posting our failures. And so everyone thinks this shit is easy. It is the hardest fucking thing you will ever fucking do.
But the rewards and the spoils of war, so to speak, are worth it. But motherfucker, you got to be built for that journey. And you got to understand what the fuck you're signing up for.
Yeah, dude. Like one of the words that I hate or phrases I hate the most is financial freedom. Cause no fucking, there's no, there's no such thing as financial freedom, right? There's every, there's always a bigger table in Vegas. There's always a bigger room. There's always, you know, there's always somebody. Absolutely.
So financial freedom is a, is a fucking bullshit word that you get, you hear all the time. And when I'm recruiting people and talking to people, that's the first thing they want to say, I wanted to break the generational curse and have generational wealth and financial freedom and all these things. terms that just get loosely put out there.
And then they watch social media and they watch people that they, they watch the end result, the, the, the, the cars and they don't have no clue. They have no clue about the process. And the biggest thing that I'm, I'm always digging deep on is trying to find like, why the fuck do you want to do this?
Like this, this is not like people think they start your own businesses and go on entrepreneurship journeys for like a better time or a better schedule, more time on her plate and all that. And it's the last thing in the world that you're going to get, you know, you're, we're never off.
No. And so let's look, let's look at this as a sports analogy, right? Is this is what people never really look at. And if you look at the best athletes in the world, right? Like 80% of the time they're getting their ass kicked, their training, their nutrition, their, They're losing games. They're getting injured. Right.
For if you look at some of the greatest athletes in the world over the life of their career. Right. They won one championship, two championships, you know, Jordan Colby, five and six. Right. Brady, the exception with, you know, six or seven, however many he's won. But fuck, he played for 20 years. Right.
And, you know, so so like if you equate it to an athlete, like most of the time you're going to get your fucking ass kicked. And you're going to get your ass kicked every day, day in and day out for that, you know, small amount of moments where you actually feel like you're winning. Right now, that makes it worth it. But the motherfuckers don't understand the process behind.

Chapter 4: How important is consistency in entrepreneurship?
the reciprocation of the expectation, whether it be just, Hey, support me in my journey, or, you know, I'm giving you all this fucking knowledge, all this mentorship, all these resources, just do the fucking work. When you get that let down on the reciprocation side of it, it just pushes you even farther and farther in that lonely, lonely road. And most people can't get over that.
Brandon, most people, when you were talking about the entrepreneur journey, they stop there and give up there.
Yeah. They stop in people's care so much. about other people's opinions of them. Understand that if you want to be successful at anything, you got to not give a fuck what other people say. If you're in anything where you deal with the customer, you know what you care about. What does your customer say? Obsess about what your customer says, because that's where you make your money.
Everybody else, fuck them.
And that includes sometimes the closest people to you. You know what I mean? Because, you know, look, a real leader, a real leader has to lead everybody. They can't just lead their businesses. They can't just lead their families. Right. There are so many people that are leaders. And then there's so many people that are leaders amongst leaders. Right.
And there's a very few amount of individuals that are leaders amongst leaders. Right. Because they understand that I have to lead my organization just as well and just as equivalent to how I lead my household, just as equivalent to how I lead my friendships and all of the things that I have in the spokes on the wheel that I have in my life. I've got to fucking be a leader to everybody.
I can't be a leader in my comfort zone and the things that I'm just good at. And that's the difference, right? We see it all the time. You know, you see people, you see, you know, realtors, you see brokerages, you see in any industry. Yeah. where they're just leading what they're used to, their little organization, their little cave, the things that they're doing or bigger cave.
But then when you talk about their personal life or you talk about other things, they're falling flat on their ass because they don't transmute those values that they have in business or they don't transmit those skills that they need to, or they fail when they're all lonely and they take that in and they start thinking that the world is against them.
You have to step up and understand the bigger picture when it comes to all of leadership is that it's just not where you're at. It's your your place of genius that you're a leader. You're a leader in every single aspect of your life because all eyes are on you. Right.

Chapter 5: What does it mean to have a purpose in business?
Chapter 6: Why is legacy important for entrepreneurs?
You're going to get your ass handed to you anyway. It's your choice what lens you see it through. But when you sit around and you become the fucking victim, that's some fucking bullshit. And I promise you will not progress. And guess what? People that are in your life that play the victim, cut them off.
I'm going to tell you another form of victimhood that people don't think about is, is when you hang around people that do nothing but yes, man. And yes, yes, ma'am.
Yeah.
Right. Because you're, you're actually running from those people that'll be straightforward with you. And we know some people that whenever somebody all of a sudden is straightforward with them, they get cut off. Right.
if you're constantly seeking the people around you to sit here and yes man you and agree with you all the time i think that's a form of victimhood in itself because you're not really putting yourself into a vulnerable position to be afraid of accountability and then here's the other thing about people that are willing to call you out on your right you don't get to keep them yeah
Great people special people that come along in your life.
You don't get to keep you don't gotta fucking there's an expiration date on that relationship There's a time and plates when they're gonna move on or other things are gonna happen or acts of God are gonna happen Where though those people are no longer in your life You better fucking hold on to those people and accept every single fucking conversation that you get with them good bad or indifferent You know and I'll tell you something even farther than that
appreciate the mistakes that those people make yeah so you don't have to make them yeah the mentors and the people that hold you accountable they're gonna not make they're nobody's perfect they're gonna make mistakes too you know the the the part of the victimhood in this in this society and in this culture we live in is is the minute you know somebody does something wrong everybody's so quick to be a a jury on social media or a jury inside the gossip groups
And they just dismiss people. Yo, none of us are fucking perfect. We're all going to make mistakes. Those motherfuckers that are sitting here holding you accountable and having those hard conversations with you and telling you the shit that your little yes mans won't.
