How to "Find" Yourself, with Andy Frisella - MFCEO215

Motivation isn't the primary focus of the MFCO project with Andy, the host. While he may unintentionally motivate listeners with his enthusiasm, his content isn't designed to motivate. Instead, he shares practical tools and lessons, particularly on Thursdays and Fridays under the banners "Thursday Thunder" and "Friday Fire." These sessions are meant to challenge how listeners think, providing them with valuable insights. So, whether you're new to the MFCO project or a regular listener, expect to gain practical knowledge rather than motivation from Andy's podcasts.

This podcast is not just about listening to motivational content, but it's about being part of a movement to better oneself and those around us. The speaker is passionate about addressing the issue of young adults being unprepared for the real world and wanting to help them understand what it takes to succeed. He believes that by sharing practical content and encouraging listeners to spread the word, they can all strive for success in every area of their lives. The speaker's dedication to this cause is evident in his multiple successful businesses, and he asks for listeners' help in spreading the message. By subscribing, telling a friend, and leaving a review, listeners can contribute to this movement and make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.

The speaker emphasized this idea during his podcast conversation with Charlie Jabley, who he described as an inspiring figure with a unique positivity. They discussed the journey of finding oneself, which is often described as a quest or process. However, the speaker argued that simply waiting for self-discovery to occur is not an effective approach. Instead, we should actively put ourselves out there, try new things, and engage in experiences to truly understand who we are and what we're about. The speaker promised that listeners would be moved by his upcoming podcast episode with Charlie, and encouraged them to tune in to learn more about this important topic.

You have the power to decide who you are and then actively become that person through purposeful actions, rather than waiting for the world to define you. This process may feel uncomfortable at first, but the rewards of self-discovery and personal growth are worth the effort. Don't let the fear of inauthenticity hold you back from making decisions and taking actions that align with your true self. Remember, anything new feels strange at first, but with persistence and commitment, you can make meaningful progress towards becoming the person you want to be. Don't let the world dictate your identity – take control and live a life that reflects your decisions.

Figuring out who you are and becoming the person you want to be is not a passive process of self-discovery, but an active decision. Successful people intentionally choose who they want to be and work towards becoming that person. This was exemplified by Charlie, who transformed himself from someone who was picked on and grew up in a poor neighborhood, to a successful record executive. He created a vision of who he wanted to be, named it "CEO Charlie," and intentionally adopted the behaviors, actions, and appearance of that persona. It's never too late to make this decision, regardless of age, income, or credit score. Stop waiting for self-discovery to happen and start making intentional decisions about who you want to be.

It's normal to experience insecurities and feelings of self-doubt, but it's important not to let these feelings hold you back from deciding who you want to be and actively working towards becoming that person. The world may try to convince us to conform and be average, but self-discovery is about making deliberate decisions about who we want to be and taking action to build the life we desire. Don't wait for others to define you or tell you what you're good at – decide for yourself and pursue those goals with determination. Remember, self-discovery is not about finding out who you are, but rather about deciding who you want to be. Most people are passively letting the world dictate their lives, so take an active role in defining your own identity and building the life you desire.

Life is an intentional journey and self-discovery is an active process. It's not enough to dream about the life you want or to passively wait for it to come to you. Instead, you must intentionally decide who you are and where you want to go, and then learn and grow along the way. Don't let fear or uncertainty hold you back from building the life you truly desire. Remember, self-discovery is not a passive process, but an active one that requires intention and effort. So, be intentional about who you are and what you want, and don't be afraid to take the first step towards making it a reality.
