 Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy Elliott. In this video, I'm going to talk to you about how hard times make you stronger. If you've gone through some crap, get ready. This video is going to show you how you're about to take over the world. Check it out. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy Elliott. Today I want to talk about hard times. Listen, I would highly recommend getting a pen and a piece of paper. I want you to write down some things today that resonate with you as we speak, as we talk together. And I want you to figure out how you can take your life to another level. Go ahead and say to me, say, I got another level. If you got another level, good, we're going to get there. And those next levels usually are made during hard times. Do me a favor. If you've been through some hard stuff before in your life, I've been through some crazy stuff. And listen, some of you have been through some stuff 10 times more crazier than me. So mad respect to you. But I want to tell you this. If you've been through some crap and some hard stuff in life, it's OK. I'm going to show you how you're going to win. You're going to come out on top. And you're going to crush everybody. You're going to change the whole world. You can do it. Now, number one, I want to start over here. I want to talk about different thresholds of pain. This is important to me. So down here, this obviously, most triangles run this way. I made an upside down triangle talking about at the bottom, really not having a lot of pain in your life. Listen, I didn't have a silver spoon growing up. And by the way, listen to me. When I say the term silver spoon, what I mean is this. I'm married. I've got three kids. My children, man, we raise them amazing. I don't have a broken family. I show them massive love every single day. I talk life into them. I teach them how to be the best at whatever they're going to do. Listen, I didn't have that growing up. Okay. So my job was because I really didn't have anybody ever believe in me when I got into sales at 18. I thought, man, this is my way out. Okay. If I commit to this, if I have a commitment beyond anybody else out there and I go all in and I become a student of the game and I'm master of the craft, I could be the best. This is my way out. And guess what? I could prove my haters wrong. Everybody that said I was going to amount to nothing. I could prove them wrong. Hey, guys, what's up? It's Andy. Hey, I want to stop the video real quick and show you. I just released my brand new book called The Book of Deadly Scripps. You want to know how to overcome any objection in the world? You want to know how to literally pick up the phone and every single time you do create a hot end market buyer who wants to buy a vehicle. Do me a favor. Shoot me a text right now, 918-210-0254. I don't have this book for sale on the website. If you'll shoot me a text, I'll send you the link so you can buy it. Let's crush it and kill it. This book will change your life. It just got released. Let's get back to the video. That was my deal. I want my children to prove me right that I told them they could do it. That wasn't going to prove me right. So if you had a great family growing up amazing, maybe it's not your family. Maybe it could be some of these things right here. I've made a list and I'm going to talk about thresholds of pain because it's all about mindset, guys. It is. Listen, closing, negotiations, objection handling. Guys, listen to me. I have the training for that. If you look in the description box below, you're going to see tons of courses that will show you how to close anybody anytime, any place, anywhere. But you've got to have the mindset. And you can't ever quit. Don't ever quit, man. It's the biggest rule. Never quit. But I want you to think about this. Dark times. That's just a blanket statement of everything. Dark times. Loss in business. Maybe you had a business before and it got shut down. Maybe somebody lied to you. They were supposed to be loyal. And they stole from you. Maybe COVID hit and knocked your business out. Who knows, right? A sickness in the family. Loss in business. Loss in life. Maybe you lost somebody you love. Expensive mistake. Guys, I've had $100,000 mistakes before. I learned from it. That was a dark place. I've had $500 mistakes, $100,000 mistakes. That's a dark place, an expensive mistake. Maybe you made your struggle. Divorce. That's tough. That's really hard. It's hard on you. It's hard on the other party. And it's hard on your children, okay? Addiction. This is a big one right here. Addiction. And then your past. Your old life. You know, all these things could be a threshold of pain. And I want to do something right now. This is really important, okay? I want you to give yourself permission to have a great life. I want right now, regardless of if you stung somebody in the past, if they stung you, if you're a great person or if you weren't, just decide to start over. Realize this. Look, man, you're here for a reason, okay? You're going to do something big. And everything you've been through in your life has been practiced to get you ready for what you're going to go through next. We're about to go through the roof, okay? So I want you to look over here in this chart and you'll see this. It says, weep and break easily. People that have had a small amount of threshold of pain, they haven't had a lot in their life, they're going to have a little bit of pressure on them. The pressure breaks them, okay? And then you'll notice these different brackets, okay? But up here at the top, you'll notice as the triangle goes out, I wrote threshold of pain. If you've been through a lot of pain before in your life, a lot of struggle, you've been through some stuff, I want you to do me a favor, okay? You see these hands? See this right here? I want you to turn that pain into passion. You notice when I speak, you know what's different than me, than everybody else in this world? My words, they make sense. I might be smooth like water when I say stuff because I'm good at what I do. I've trained, I've practiced for a long time. But behind each one of my words is a thing called passion, okay? You know that I'm different because I am. You know that I am a person that have experienced life before, just like you. So when I speak, when I talk, you can hear it behind me that I truly care about, man people, and I care about what I do, who I am and where I'm going. And I want you to do the same thing. So if you're up here and you've had a high threshold of pain, you are dangerous, okay? But you got to take that and let that electricity flow through your body and let it out as passion, okay? And that would be the unfair advantage versus you and everybody else, okay? And if you've had a great life and you haven't had a lot of pain, I assure you there's going to be a day where one of these are going to come because life isn't fair. And when it does come, I want to explain to you hard times make you stronger. It's just the way it is. So enjoy the suck. Enjoy the pain. Enjoy being in a place that no one else wants to be when something happens. And why do we train every day? So when that time comes up, we're battle tested. We're ready. We're prepared, okay? And that time is now, right? Now I want you to look over here and I'm going to walk you on a little journey, okay? This is how hard times happen, okay? So problem creates. And I think you should write this down with me. But a problem creates. When the problem comes up, the first thing people do is they think the world's ending. They do think they're like, oh my God, the world's ending. It's just the way it is, all right? Listen, it's not, okay? Right here. First thing, world's ending. Number two, life's never going to be the same again. You start thinking, man, life ain't ever going to be the same again. I lost it. But then what happens? Time passes. Okay? Time passes. Problem, world's ending. Life's never going to be the same again. Time passes. Gain traction. All of a sudden, it's like, man, you've been spinning in the snow. It's been spinning in the mud. And all of a sudden, guess what? A tire catches. You start moving again just a little bit, right? You start getting some traction. Now you start kicking ass. You start revving up. You start building that momentum back again, baby. You start getting that fire, that wind in your cells again. You start believing in yourself, okay? Never fall out of love. Never fall out of love with yourself and not believe in yourself. Never. Regardless of the hard times. Enjoy it. Look, who you become during those hard times is the reward. Not this. Now you're in a better place than ever before. Being in a better place than ever before. Sure, that sounds great. But the person that I become along the way during those hard times, that's what it's all about. That character, okay? And that character, that character will make you unbeatable. You remember that, okay? So if you're going through a hard time right now, good. Create some character. Create strength. Get stronger, okay? I don't care what's going on. Okay? Looks like the world's ending, right? Never going to be the same again. Time passes, gain traction, kick-dash. Now you're in a better place than ever before. And lastly, I wrote this right here. You'll come out wiser, stronger, more badass version of yourself than ever before. Hard times are good for you. They're good for you. If you're going through one now, guess what? Embrace the suck, baby. Let's pick it up. Let's get out to start killing it again. Become better than ever before. Those that have the most pain are capable of the most. Guess what? Go out there and sell today like you never have in your whole life. Never quit. Never back down. Never retreat. Never surrender. And if you need some help, if there's an area in your life where you're like, gosh, Andy, man, I need a breakthrough here, right? Or I just got out of a breakthrough. And you know the hard times are behind me now. But I really want to scout. Done. Shoot me a text message. You'll see a number on the screen right now. It says 918-210-0254. You shoot me a text message, okay? I'd love to personally help you go to the next level. We are brothers and sisters for life. Shoot me a text message. I'd love to connect with you.
