I'm going to talk to you real quick before I get into this about the end game I want to tell you well first of all my name is Andy Elliott And if you don't know who I am I've been in the car business for over 22 years I hold the record for most money made in sales selling cars in the States I made $1,000 selling cars and I want to share this with you in one year. I have a severe learning disability Okay, and when I say severe learning disability like I'll just lay it out there because I'm going to tell you this I felt like everybody had one up on me in life. So as I talk about testing mediocrity I want you to think about you where you're at and I want to tell you where I come from and I want to Share this with you. This is something that scared the hell out of me is that I figured man Like I'm gonna live my whole life, right? And this is me at 18. I'm gonna live my whole life And I'm gonna go to heaven and I'm gonna go into heaven and I'm gonna be like 225 pounds I'm gonna be out of shape. I lived a normal life, and that's okay You know, I didn't make a bunch of money, you know mom I never had a mom in my life five brothers and sisters, right dad raised us Literally made bad grades in school, you know like that was my life And like I was gonna go up to heaven and like at the end of my life like I'm good, right and I get up there and I look at this chart Now I'm sitting there with God and God's got this chart and he's and I like look at it and it says Andy Elliott 195 pounds lean And I'm like man Was that the life I supposed to have Was that it Andy Elliott Incredible businessman one of the smartest people in the world And I'm looking at this chart and that's that's not me, but that's who I was supposed to be But because I let mediocrity and I let things that I'm not great at Get in the way. I never got that so I'm looking at this chart and when God's going over with me who I was supposed to be You were supposed to help tons of people You you were supposed to marry way up and have an amazing wife You were supposed to have three Incredible children you're supposed and as I'm looking at this chart. I'm like Oh my god, man Like my god like it was that who I was supposed to be and my life's over And at that point I decided that I can live as a victim Okay in mediocrity Or I can decide to elevate up and decide to get in the pain zone and suffer. Let me tell you what pain is Pain is weakness leaving the body And on the other end I want to share with you nothing good happens in a comfortable environment Nothing And I don't care who you are. I don't care where you're at I want you to join me if you've got issues. I want to share this.

Because I know my weaknesses and I battle them on the daily and I want to share with you You need to identify what your weaknesses are and mine was my biggest deal was I was a bad bad test taker I had a severe learning disability So let me just tell you this like if I was going to take a test and I was going to learn something Like I literally had to write down like I would take a page in a book and by the way How I read a book is like this if I go read a book the first book I've ever read my life was tom hopkins Low profile selling or sell like a lion act like a lamb in every page I read I wrote it down on a spiral notebook as I read it the whole book And then when I was done, I like I was like oh, bam. Yeah, you know, I heard that I remember this boom and I would pull it out of the book But if I wouldn't have wrote it down, I have stacks I have 500 spiral notebooks just from writing Because it's the only way that I can beat the way that I learned But guess what when I get it I'm deadly at it But it's hard for me to get it and I want to share this with you If I can take that learning disability and I'm willing to go in and hustle and put in the work to learn it Whatever it is that you're struggling against you can do it.

I want to share this with you I didn't have any legs when I started when I felt like I got into the business of selling I honestly felt like I had no legs. I felt like there was these guys that had this amazing platform They were good speakers. They were good at talking. They were better looking. They had nicer clothes You know I'm saying they had relationships with people. They had business experience Maybe their father was in the car business You know I'm saying like they always had all these like advantages on me But you know what?

All right use negative stuff the bs that used to make you weak Use it as power now to fuel you Everybody said I wouldn't make it everybody Everybody said I wouldn't make it. I want to tell you You know how bad and I didn't give a crap about what they said It used to kind of eat me up a little bit when I was younger now It's fuel. It's like gasoline. Somebody's like hey, man. You can't do that Yeah, everybody says it can't happen until it does right And I'm going to tell you this my favorite thing to say is somebody to say hey that can't happen I've got a salesman and I've got many but I've got one specifically That come from nothing literally nothing Bought goodwill clothes to get in the car business Man, no parents physically abused as a kid, right? Dad's murdered mom doesn't give a shit about him Family's gone. Dude. No one abandoned all alone the runt the underdog I've been training him now for six months He was fired from the first two car dealerships within the first two weeks of where he worked Great guy great great guy killer heart give you the shirt off his back Has nothing though And because he's so prejudged by everybody Everybody just gives up on him But leaders can find a way to take a man or a woman And see in them that they carry something everybody has something special in them Everybody's got a unique trait that they could kill it at in the business You just got to understand you and you got to quit thinking about what other people think about you And you got to know where your edge is and what you're good at my edges I'm going to outwork the chart remember. I told you at the end of my life I feel like god's going to give me a chart of who I was supposed to be I'm going to outwork that chart Okay, I want him to say Dang andy And it's not about money. It's about how many people I helped Okay, I told you I want to make the best salesman in the freaking country All across the globe in the world I want to be a part of every salesman's success and all I want them to do Is get what they deserve in life. You don't get what you deserve you get what you negotiate You negotiate with your yourself. Am I going to lay on this side of complacency and mediocrity? Or am I going to get on this side? Am I going to see how deep the rabbit hole is? Am I going to get myself and take myself to a level that I've never been to and by the way It's going to be uncomfortable. Okay, because number one right now you fear stuff Okay, you got to learn. There's nothing to fear number two. You're afraid of stuff quit being afraid I don't know what you're afraid of I see people that reach out to me, right? And they're like man You know just when this happens. I'm really going to start pushing. What do you mean? Do it right now when you're mess right now in your mess make that your message Come out strong man, write your testimony Write your book right as we go. You don't need nothing You know what you need is you you need to be your own biggest fan And I'll share this with you you take what everyone says about you negative and you use it as fuel You never never take that stuff and back down and feel maybe like less significant because of what someone else has People that hate on people or people that have already given up on their own dreams, right? So they want you to give up on yours or They're pursuing their dream and they see you as a threat I didn't realize it but at 19 when I was hustling and everybody hated me Guess what? I was a threat to them But I'm gonna share this with you I worked hard in the mist of nothing. I'm at 150 000 that year look at 19 You can do the same thing. I don't care how old you are You could be 65 and decide today's the day you draw the line in the sand You could be 18 age doesn't matter. I'm 40 years old. I feel 18. All right Struggling the darkness may be what you need. I needed that dark place for a minute. Okay I believe in god and I want to be in the light, but man. I was in a dark place You know, I felt like I was the only one that honestly believed in me just about this much and no one else did But I felt like man I'm gonna do this And once I decided that I made that choice It was over and I made that choice in a dark place And when you make that choice when you're struggling and you do whatever it takes to make it no matter what do you know what happens You freaking kill it. All right. So check this out I'm gonna talk about re-looking at your situation and I'm gonna talk about the way that you used to see stuff You see it differently now. It's it's like changing your lenses Okay, so if you take a pair of glasses, right and you change the lens out on them, you know what happens Perspectively you start seeing things different. That's what you need to do. You need to see yourself differently, you need to see your life differently, okay You're valuable and you're worth it and guess what we're gonna get into the grind But you have to accept What your issues are and what your problems are Before you can fix it if you don't accept it if you're pushing blame off on someone else You're never gonna kill it. Look. I want to share this with you So there's a book that I read it was called extreme ownership. It's a navy seal book Okay, and it talks about basically taking ownership for everything Everything is your fault And I took everything in my life and I didn't play the victim anymore. I took responsibility for it all right In my mess and I took that and I was walking around. I was like, hey, I'm good. I'm good You know, like I wasn't good though And some of you guys if I was to meet you right now, I'm like, hey, what's up, man? How you doing? You're like good, man. I'm good. I'm good. You're not good You know what the deal is you're not good You need to call out what your problems are and you need to fix them so we can take your life And elevate it to where you're supposed to be and take that freaking chart, right? And make sure that you're going to get who you're supposed to be not who you're settling for So you got to figure out who you are Accepted and a lot of people walk around like I'm good But guess what people don't want you to do that They don't want you to fix it people don't want you to change So you got to audit your circle and get everybody out from around you That doesn't have the same vision as you because you can't do it working around haters or living around haters around you especially if You're looking to them for advice Look if I want to change my life and I look I'm dead broke right now I have not a dollar to my name and I decide I want to get out make a hundred thousand dollars this year If I walk up to another salesman be like, hey, man, dude I want to I want to change my life, man.

I like to kick back You know what i'm saying? I don't like to go to the gym and grind it and sweat until i want to throw up and get I don't want to do that stuff. But you know what? I don't want to be that person I don't want that mommy voice in the back of my head saying hey, everything's okay. No, it isn't okay What it is is that it's time for me to get to work And you guys want to outwork that chart that you're supposed to live You guys want to really have your full potential give your kids what you're supposed to give Have your future family or your family right now get everything that they deserve Maybe anything and everything you want in life is literally just the choice of you deciding that you don't care what anyone else thinks anymore And guess what? Team up with somebody that believes in you and I don't care who you are on the other end I don't care what you've been through. I believe in you 100% All right, the third thing what's wrong with you has to be a focal point. Okay, so what I did I told you I had a severe learning disability And what I did is that literally I went to the store. I bought a stack of spiral notebooks And I took and I started writing and writing and writing and writing and writing So I have word tracks out of years all the time. And do you know what those word tracks were only learned by writing them down 25 times Now guess what? I'm done. It's in me for the rest of my life. That's the way that I learned But because it takes me so long to learn something. Do you think I let that stop me? No And for people that want to say man, that guy's not smart. Listen, I'm gonna tell you this You're right. I wasn't born smart, but I've gotten really smart because I study non-stop And guess what when you talk about family and you guys live in for different goals and stuff Guess what? A lot of people they just have financial goals. They don't have marriage goals or father goals I'm going to tell you this live in the fulfilled life has nothing to do with money But I think people underestimate the amount of money that it takes to live So that's why we have to get our crap together and start getting that money So we're not working 15 years from now still trying to make it my goal is next year You guys team up with me recession hits in the next year or two You kill it and make more money than you've ever made in your life Why everyone else is crying and screaming like little babies Okay, we'll capitalize on it So I want to get to this last part strategize on one problem at a time. Okay. This is how you become unbelievable one problem at a time Just one Pick it Reach out to me say hey, Andy. I got three things. It's a big issue right now. Number one. I'm lazy Just call it out. I'm lazy and I'm not saying that you but number two Listen, man. I play the victim right, you know, I'm saying like my wife divorced me My kids don't want to see me. Maybe that's you or maybe I'm 18 years old You know, I'm 19. I'm 20. I want to get in cells. My parents say I'm stupid for getting in cells They don't want me in it. I don't want to go to college. Listen, dude. I got you. I got you It doesn't matter. I'm a mom. I've been staying at home for years with the kids I'm getting in the business guys women are killing it in this business Whatever it is. I don't care. Let's focus on one problem And let's smash it out And then let's move on and then before too long when you look up All your problems are handled You're a whole different person You're getting the life that you deserve right because you've put the hustle in right You have to be willing to suffer for this new life You're going to suffer being comfortable. Why not suffer in the pain zone and get what you want It's addicting. It's fun Now with that being said Before you know it all your problems are fixed and look stop trying to be the best of the average people around you And and lastly don't be a one-timer. Let me explain to you what a one-timer is A one-timer is somebody that does something one time And that's their identity that they carry with them for the rest of their life One time you made one good month. You made $20,000. I walk up to this house And I'm like, hey, what's going on man? Hey, how's your month? Oh, pretty good Hey, so roughly what what kind of money are you earning?
