Guys, it's Andy Elliott. I'm going to tell you it's 2023 at the time I'm making this video, and I'm pretty sure this video will stay on firm for the next 10 years on what I'm telling you. It is the digital age. What does that mean? You drive down the road. What are people doing? They're not watching the road. They've got the best motor skills in the world. They're watching their phone. What are people doing when they go out to dinner? They're watching their phone. When people go to a party, what are they doing? They're on their phone. What is everyone doing? People are watching TV and watching their phone. What era are we in? Everybody write this down. What era are we in? The digital age? And how are people consuming information on a PC or on their phone? 70% of the people on the phone, 30% are on a PC. And I'm going to tell you right now, there's something that has become very powerful in this world and it's available to you. You can have this. It's called a personal brand. Did I say a company brand? No, I did not. I said a personal brand. And I want to tell you the power and build on a personal brand right now in this era and why it can become very highly monetized for you, but also how it can help you in any industry that you're in. Okay, so number one, I'm Andy Elliott. I own a company. The company's called the Elliott Group. What's my company? Do I get it? Hey guys, it's the Elliott Group. No, I don't. I don't say, hey guys, it's Bob Mills Furniture. No, I say, it's Andy Elliott. Why? Well, Andy Elliott runs the Elliott Group, but Andy Elliott is Andy Elliott. People know my company based off my core values and my belief. My company's killing it, but they want to know me. They people want to know you also. So what does that mean? That means this. Listen, by the way, how do you build a personal brand? I'm going to walk you through this. Okay, number one, write this down. Get fit. Please understand this. You will not build a dangerous personal brand. Now you might be a computer coder and you're like, I don't need to get in shape. You know what? That sucks that you think so small that the people that look up to you and that want to follow you, you can't be in good shape to guide them to go be in good shape for their families. Dude, how about you get off this? Okay. Listen to me. Stay in good shape in a world where literally I go into an airport and 90% of the people are out of shape, unhealthy and eating hot dogs and hamburgers and just being, I went on a cruise. There was 5000 people on a cruise and there was grilled chicken and salads and then over here and I grilled fish and over here, there's like all you can eat cheeseburgers and pizza. People are just eating until they throw up. It's like, dude, what are you doing? Like, and I'm not, I'm not fat shaming anybody. I'm just like, what are we doing? Guys, you want to, you want to have a successful life? Make good decisions. So number one, listen to me, build a personal brand, get fit, get in very good shape, okay? Be the example, be the leader. That's what you are now. You're the leader. Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy. A lot of you leave comments telling me that you need help. Do me a favor. I'm going to tell you the best way to get a hold of me. Shoot me a text message right now, 918-210-0254. 918-210-0254. I'll help you with whatever you need. I got your back for life. Let's get back to the video. Number two, I need you to learn your industry better than anybody else, okay? And also, I need you to be real. You can't lie. What does that mean? That means tell the truth. Tell people about your struggles. But listen, me, never complain. Never complain. I really want to tell you one of the fastest ways that I built a personal brand is by never complaining. Man, you know, me and my wife, there was a time a couple years ago where we sold our million-dollar house, went and slept on mattresses on the floor. We didn't tell anybody. Nobody knew. Now, today I'll tell you about it because I'm out of that. But we didn't want to tell anybody about our suffer and what we were going through. We knew that was a part of the journey and we knew that one day we would look back and tell how we sacrificed all this stuff and we knew where we were going. So, right now, don't complain. Do not complain. I don't care what it takes. Listen to me. I was shooting content and by the way, write this down. When you go to build a personal brand in this era, why it's so important? I want to tell you from the beginning, when you go to build content, you have nobody watching. You have no viewers. There's nobody, okay? I remember this. Of my first five people that followed me, I show, hey guys, I see you five. Yeah! I see you five. I love you guys. Thank you for watching. Then there was 15. Then there was 20. Then I had a hundred. I was like, oh, it's all hundred of you. Thank you. I love you. I don't, hey, I don't need 10 million people. I got a hundred great ones. I love you a hundred that are following me. Thank you. Dude, then there was a thousand, 10,000, 100,000, 500,000. Dude, listen to me. Now we get 150 million views every 28 days. Please tell me that you'll keep going and not quit. You want to build a great personal brand? Don't quit. Keep building it. If it takes you six months, if it takes you five years, do not stop. Now, once you can build it and you get there, once you understand what's going to happen. Number one, if I'm a business owner, I can go hire 10,000 people today who believe what I believe because they've been watching my content. They understand what I believe. They understand my personal value and they will come to work for me because they have been waiting for someone like me who they've been watching for years and they understand what I believe, how I operate and how I work. They feel like they even know me before they show up. Right? If you go to a job right now, right? You gotta be like, hey, my name's Andy. What's going on? What's your name? You know, what do you like to do? What are your hobbies? Dude, when you got a personal brand, people walk in. They're like, Andy Elliott, dude, I'm ready, man. Put me to work. I already know what you believe. I'm ready to roll. Personal brand. Also, what if you are looking for an opportunity? What if you are right now? Can I ask you a question? Would you love to know that right now there were 10 hands that were just sitting there waiting to shake your hand and all make you a multi-millionaire? Like, they wanted that. Well, if you built the brand right now, those hands would be sitting there like this and they would be waiting on you to walk up and they would all gladly bring you into their circle because they've been watching you and they know what you believe and they know what they want in their company. So, they don't even need to interview. They know that that's what they want. Guys, listen to me. Four out of five millionaires work for someone else. If you want to become a multi-multi-millionaire, you can have a job working for someone else, killing it and crushing it and also building your own personal brand so that you can get into doors that people can't get into when they have money, so that you can make connections, so that you can go do cool shit, so that you can inspire other people in the world. Guys, there's no better feeling than knowing that every day you're holding your life to a certain accountability level and you're making sure that you know you're being elite because you know there's a slew of people watching you that what? That want to believe that they can become elite because they're seeing you become it. Okay? Dude, building a personal brand is changing thousands of lives. Some of you hundreds of thousands of lives. Even millions. Okay? So building a personal brand right now in the digital age to me is the single-handedly most important thing in your life. But you must be the example. You must live by your core values and standard. You cannot lie. You must disconnect from losers. There's going to be times you're going to run alone and then I promise you you're going to have a slew of people that believe just like you that you're going to run within a pack. You can build a business or you can find the person in business that you want to work for. If I want to get into a an event, a concert or anything, today I can DM anybody and dude they'll reach my right back out to me and say Andy we'd love to have you here. And it doesn't even cost me anything. That's another thing. You know when I go out to you with my family everybody's always like oh your dinner's paid for. Your dinner's paid for. I'm like damn man this is crazy. I mean how is that possible? It's because you're a brand. When you're building a brand you're changing other people's lives. Now by the way why am I openly sharing this with you? Because if you have the courage to raise your hand and say hey I'll be a leader let's document it online. Don't say stuff that other people saying that's not you. I want you to be you. Don't be a fraud. I'm me. I'm Andy Elliott. I'm not anybody else okay. I know a lot of people are highly successful and I'm not pretending to be them and I don't want you to either. But I do want you to be a good student. I want you to learn and I want you to understand that this world's got eight billion nine billion people. We need you okay. You building your personal brand showing other people the way to live being healthy taking care of business being an awesome person having a good standard creating more good human beings that's what having a good personal brand is and you guys can all do this.
