Like naïve little kids at Christmas, the average person thinks success is magical. They think that achieving your goals, fulfilling your dreams, and living a life of health, wealth, and happiness happens when somewhere, in Never Never Land, the stars align, the Success Fairy waves her Magical One Hundred Percent Guaranteed Success Wand, and everything in your life miraculously turns to glitter and gold. But people who are destined to succeed know better. They know they are destined to succeed because they know that success is not magic. It comes from busting one's ass. It is the inevitable result of hard work.

While you are ultimately responsible for your success, the effectiveness of your business will largely be determined by the people who work with you. For this reason, you have to know how to hire the right people and when to fire the wrong people. In this episode, The MFCEO shares his tips for recruiting the best help for your business and letting go of the dead weight.

People say this all the time: "I have this incredible idea. I've developed this awesome product or service concept. But I just don't have any money." So they justify failure because they had no funds. But according to Andy Frisella, lack of resources is a huge advantage. It forces you to get innovative and to work even harder.

The minds of successful people are always active. They have an opportunity mindset and want to make the most of everything that happens in their lives. That's the good news. But according to The MFCEO, the one downside of that mentality is that they think they can focus on everything; they think they can divide their attention and energy into every possible project. Spoiler alert: They can't. In this episode, Andy Frisella provides some practical tips for to how to focus on one thing; and how that laser-like focus can lead to even greater success.

Too many people attribute other people's success to luck. They don't really believe that hard work and persistence are the reasons that people do great things in life. They don't have faith in the process of execution. The first view of life allows you to sit on your ass and make excuses. The other view demands that you act and trust the process. The view that you hold determines the person that you are and the success you will enjoy in life.

What is The MFCEO Project all about? It's not just a podcast. It's not just a brand. It's a movement. According to Andy Frisella, our generation has lost the mindset and work ethic that leads to success and greatness. In this, the 100th episode, Andy unpacks his manifesto for restoring integrity and excellence to all of us as individuals and society as a whole. From making the decision to be a positive force in the world to urging people to take ownership of their lives, this is The MFCEO at his best--raw and real.

When you look at people's social media posts as well as their interactions in the real world, you'll notice something: They always try to emulate someone else. This happens all the time. The average person ends up becoming watered-down, carbon copies of other people. Successful people are different. They embrace their authentic self and are comfortable being who they are.

You've heard the old phrase, "there's a thin line between love and hate?" Well, successful people know the opposite is true. Intense, negative energy can be converted into positive passion. So if your business experiences a disgruntled customer, don't chock it up to "well, you win some, you lose some." You have been presented an amazing opportunity. Angry customers can become amazing advocates. You just need to adjust your mindset and adopt the right method.
