Andrew Tate: Act Now or Stay Average Mindset Rules

time is running out. I don't like repeating myself. Act or fail. I try to be everything I do is

aimed towards Exgo. Anything I do, anything I do, I try and keep the end goal in mind. So people

who know me say, take your whole life this work. I say, yeah, it is. I live a fun life. I live and I

do what I enjoy, but every single thing I do has some kind of work tinged to it. It's not so much

as having a plan. It's just a mindset and attitude. I'm always constantly striving towards something.

The idea of just relaxing completely. I'm quite fortunate because I don't find that appealing.

People go, I'd love to just relax on a beach. I can't think of anything worse

than sitting on a beach. I'll be bored in three minutes. I can't do that as an individual. So maybe

that's something I've learned. Maybe something I'm born with. But for me, it's always been goal action,

goal action, action action action action action action. So with that in mind and a goal in mind,

let's just kind of how I do it. But a lot of people, you're talking about making a plan,

attempting to plan. A lot of people don't even have a plan. A lot of people are just waiting for

their ship to come in. One day my ship will come in and when it does, I'll buy a house and

then I'll go on holiday twice a year. That's their entire life goal. That's their life plan.

But I always had some kind of plan. Even when I was completely broke, I always had a plan. I

always understood. I watched the TV shows. An English TV show you would have never heard of.

And it's a guy is stealing a university education. He's going to university without paying for it.

And he walks into class and they say, who are you? And he goes, all my names on the list,

yeah, I'll just transfer it from another university. They go, okay, no problem, sit down.

And he says to himself, the whole room, the whole world is just people walking into rooms and

saying things. And it's a stupid little saying, but that clicked with me. I was like, he's right,

business. It's just people walking into a room and saying things. Everything is just people

walking into rooms and saying things. So if I want to have money, I need to find the right room

and the right people. That's what I wanted to do. So my life plan was always

understanding how I need a network. When I was poor, I was trying to find a network of

motivated individuals, some ultra wealthy, some on their way out that I could join so I could

learn and do what they do or network with them or help some of them and start to give my way,

but I couldn't find it. So I did it all the hard way by knocking everybody out and traveling

the world and meeting rich people out there. But that's how I did it, fighting. But I always

understood that your net worth is your network, right? It's who you know, who you talk to,

what you talk about. That's how the world works. So it's always worked. So I always had a plan.

And my plan was to network with the kind of people who are living the life I wanted to live.

But most people don't even have a plan that goes out for her. And that's not an easy thing to do,

but at least I knew what I was trying to do. Most people don't even know what they're trying to do.

Life's never easy, guys. The easy way out doesn't exist. There's only one way out. Through the

thorns, through the pain, the only way it's ever been, it's the only way it's ever going to

fucking be. I want to have to wake up every day and grind out and become richer than everyone else

because I work harder than everyone else and I try harder than everyone else. I don't want any

easy ways out. The idea that aggravates me. I don't want to feel motivated. I want to feel

tired and stressed. I want to run on pure discipline and adrenaline. Nobody is motivated for

in the morning. Nobody, the some people are up anyway. You're praying for an easy way out. I

don't fucking want one because if there is an easy way out, yeah, I'll win. But other people will

win who I don't think deserve to win. Luckily, in my experience on this earth, the universe has never

I've ever seen ever given an easy way out to anybody.

So I don't believe it's fucking coming. And most of you seem to believe something fantastic is

coming next year and I would argue that it's not. Do you understand that's not a reason to rest?

That's not a reason to wait. That's not a reason to do less work. That's a reason to work harder.

So even if you were right, that's even more argument for the same thing. It doesn't matter if you

go left or right. You need to make money. It doesn't matter if you go up or down. You need to make

money. It doesn't matter if it's hall or fucking cold. You need to make money. It doesn't matter if

you're happy or sad. You need to make money. It's the only way to leverage yourself in this economic

game that none of us can possibly escape. And what are you doing? What what do you expect to happen

here? And your version of locking in is finding copium. That's what you call work. Gentlemen,

it's go time. It's go time like it's never been before. Either things are going to go great

and you need to get your ducks in a row now before they go too great or things are going to go wrong

and you need to get your ducks in a row before they go wrong. It doesn't matter. Either way,

it's fucking go time. And truthfully, the law of averages ensures that the majority of people

are exactly that average. If you're watching this, most of you are average. Most of you cannot be

exceptional by virtue of the nature of exceptionalism. The majority of you will be average. That's what

it means. But that's fine because you can win if your average if you're first. You can win if

your average if you try harder than the rest. You can win if your average if you pay attention.

You can win if your average if you do the right things if you're not lazy. It's very easy to win

if your average. You just need to get another advantage. And the easiest advantage is I'm prepared

to put in the work every day, show up, and I'm going to start right now. I guarantee you results

if you do that. Guaranteed, however you intend on making money currently, is asking somebody else

to pay you money. You can't make money. You are given money by somebody for something. This is

the beauty of what I want to say to you. There's only one answer to all things. The answer is always

the same. Doesn't matter what happens. What matters is you need money. There has never been a time

in my life where having loads of money was bad. Ever. It's always an advantage. It's secure all.

Same with strength. I've never thought, dammit, I'm too strong. Dammit. Wish I wasn't so strong.

That doesn't happen. These are the two things that you can never get enough of. Which is why

the two things you should be focused on. Because once you get enough, you get to observe the game

from above. You get to watch the ants argue and scatter around like I do. So I don't want you guys

to be living on hope. It is go time. Today is go time. Right now is go time. There's absolutely no

other time for you to go, but now you either go now or you lose. Now you can finally take some

action and get something done. As a man, you win by your very existence. That is the difference

between a winner and a loser. A winner can breathe and people will have an opinion about it.

A loser is trying very hard to be relevant and it is your job to win as much as possible.

And I'm going to make sure none of you are falling for a very obvious and simple trap.

And that trap is the false idea of work and believing that anybody out there gives this

shit about you as opposed to themselves. Because they don't. Life is actually very simple because

it's a one move win. Imagine no matter what scenario you're in, you only had to do one thing.

Imagine boxing and no matter what attack he threw at you, no matter how big and strong he was,

no matter how tired you were, you didn't have to do any fancy combination, you didn't have to do

any kind of clever footwork. You only had to do one move and you instantly and endlessly 100%

of the time won. And life is the same and that thing is get rich. You know, whenever I see an

argument online about anything, my instant responses, thank God I'm rich. And if I am emotionally

vested in that argument, if I am looking at that argument and believe the outcome genuinely

matters and can affect my life, I'm only more motivated to get rich. If I look at an argument and

say, I really care about this, time to get rich. Why? Well, there's two reasons. Reason one is that

wealth gives you power and allows you to move to Needle. Because most of you do are not rich enough

to move to Needle in any significant way. And two, wealth also gives you ability to build your own

reality. Focusing all that energy on getting as rich as possible is more likely to change your

experience than rage posting. But you're trying to avoid the work. This is so important, guys.

You find yourself locking in to do absolutely unproductive things because the only thing that's

productive in all scenarios is earning money. I ask a lot of people what they're doing to say,

locking in, bro. And their version of locking in is just dumb shit, watching podcasts for hope,

rage posting on Twitter for hope. It is best for you to assume that you're fucked. And the only

answer is work. Hope can destroy you. You're at the bottom of a well. And to save your manicure,

you're praying someone's going to throw a rope down or a ladder because you don't want to scale

the slimy walls and crawl out to salvation because of how difficult it's going to be. And you're

sitting at the bottom thinking, a ladder's coming soon. I heard this rumor of this guy who has a

ladder and he randomly puts it down wells. And maybe he'll choose my one. So if I just sit around and

wait, that is the wrong mentality. It will soon be nightfall. You will freeze. It will begin to

rain and you will drown. You don't have time. If the man with the ladder is coming, then you're

good anyway. If the ladder comes down the well when you're halfway up the wall, you're great.

But you should begin to climb anyway. It is win-win. The only thing stopping you is the

trap of believing you're doing something by praying for the ladder man and laziness. And that's

the beautiful thing about life because the answer is nearly always the fucking saying,

get rich, ignore the noise, buckle down, ignore the noise, lock in, focus, do important shit,

ignore the noise. And make sure you're doing things that actually matter because there's a huge

work trap that's been set up. You're not working as hard as you think you are if you're watching

podcasts which are giving you hope that you've already done enough work. That's what you're doing.

You're hoping someone is going to say to you that you've already done enough. And it's all fine.

Nothing is fine. You need to crawl out of that well with your fingernails. You need to scratch

your face on hard stone. You need to get out of there like a man even if the ladder comes

after you climbed out of the well. You bought yourself time. Now you're ahead of the game.

Yes, you could have waited and hadn't eased your way out. But think of how much time you saved

by crawling out before the ladder man got around to you. This is extremely important.

It's extremely important. And the great thing about this mindset is most people don't have it.

But if you bow down and you get rich, the rest will do it for you. It's fine. Let them do the heavy lifting.

Let them sit there and rage post and get mad and lose sleep and watch videos and do all that crap

while you stack cash. And I guarantee you that's how you're going to win. We're perfectly prepared

to do the hard work. There's no such thing as easy money. There's money you fucking work for.

I can show you where the gold mine is and I can give you a pickaxe but you have to dig. If you're

not going to dig, don't go. Do not go down the gold mine with a pickaxe if you're not prepared

to dig. Then you're wasting everyone's time. You're wasting my time for giving you a hard hat

and a shovel. You're wasting the elevator operator's time. You're wasting the company's time because

you could have hired somebody else who actually wants to dig. If you're not prepared to work,

don't fucking go down there. Stay at the top and never have a chance of finding gold.

Believe that one day gold's going to just fall on your lap. You're going to find it by accident.

By next year, I'll be rich. I don't have to work. I don't know how. It's just going to happen.

Let's see, shall we? Or you can get rid of your childish infantile dreams. Pick up a fucking axe.

Get in the elevator and go down there with a vigor prepared to do whatever it takes.

Choice is yours. But it truthfully is go time, gentlemen. I'm not going to tell you an easy way

to make money. I'm not going to tell you you can just buy money and sit there and do nothing.

I'm going to tell you how to crawl out. I'm going to say that you should do it the hard way.

I can only teach you how to do things the hard way. That's all I know because it's all I've ever done.

I've never done things the easy way. I've never been lucky. I've never caught a lick.

I've been the guy who had to crawl out by the skin of his teeth every single time he ever escaped

absolute decimation. I've been the guy who had it on the edge of annihilation of his life falling

apart and he only pulled it off because he grit and bared pain and did whatever it took to win.

I've never had it easy. I've never won easy. I've only ever did it the hard way. So it's all I can

teach you. If there's someone out there who you believe in who's promising you an easy way out

then go believe them. I don't know any easy way out. All I know is the hard way out. That's the

only path. You're trapped in a forest surrounded by bramble and ghouls which intend on taking your soul

and I am outside of the forest and I'm screaming to you saying I know a way out. The path is long,

it is dangerous. It is arduous. You may hurt yourself. You may get caught. It's difficult

but I can guarantee you it leads out.

And perhaps there's another voice saying I know an easy path that it just leads straight out.

It is easy. If you believe them try but if it was true if there was an easy path out why are so

many people still stuck? Why are so many people still trapped if there's an easy way out of this

mess? I can't give you easy answers. I don't have them. I only have the hard answers. And the hard

answer is for you to knuckle down, stop fucking praying for an economic miracle. Get your fucking

act together and start working all day, every day until you finally have enough for you to no

longer have to be forced to live an experience you don't enjoy anymore because that's all I did.

So that's all I know. It's amazing how much you can achieve if you actually try. So why do I

put emphasis on focusing to get rich? You should be as rich and as strong as possible because you're

a full grown man. And full grown men need to be able to influence the world. It's never going to be

smooth sailing. How could it possibly be? Life's never been that way. When you were a kid growing up

what did you want to be? It's a really good question. And you know I kind of feel like

it's one of the most important questions a man should answer about himself because I think as a man

you get to choose who you want to be and become it. You build yourself into whatever you decide you

want to be. But as a man you get to decide which avatar you want to experience life as you get to

decide if you want to be the rock star or the basketball player or the astronaut or the firefighter

or whatever we use thought we want to be when we were children. And it's actually a very interesting

psychological and philosophical question because you can sit and analyze okay have I become who I

wanted to be? Like I don't know as a kid I don't remember saying a specific profession as much.

I remember being obsessed with my my obviously my father and Batman and chess and certain things.

I didn't have a specific profession but now that if you ask me and I'm going to be all philosophical

and self-reflecting have I become who I wanted to be? Well I'd like to think I'm a good representation

of my father. I like to think I'm a good representation of Batman. I've got enough cars. I can fight,

got the money, everything's fine. So yeah I think I've done pretty good but I don't think

enough man analyze and think what did I really want to be when I was growing up and did I become it?

Because that's the most beautiful thing about being a man you can be anything you can be a you can

there's a whole bunch of shit that's cool that I don't want to do I don't want to go base jump

I don't want to swim in sharks I don't do any of that function but some dudes do and they do it.

There's a whole bunch of there's many different ways to be an interesting person as a man and uh

the fact that so many men fail to achieve it any of them is actually quite remarkable so when I grew

up I kind of feel like I want to be the man I am today I want to be financially successful I want

to be well-known respected I want my last name to mean something I want to be physically intimidating

I want to be free I want to be spontaneous because I had the means to be and I want to be

competent and capable and well looked up to and I feel like I've kind of done most of those things

and I'm very very happy with my life you are exactly not where you deserve to be that is one

version of reality that's one version of events and although that's true I want to put it in a different

way you're exactly where you wish to be in life even if you think you are not happy where you are

I can promise you you are because if you're truly uncomfortable you can't even sleep if I put you

on spikes you can't lay down you only lay down even if you're semi-comfortable what I often hear

from people and see from people is that they get very motivated for short periods of time they'll

be very motivated to change their life for three hours and then they'll just go back to playing

video games and they're actually not unhappy with their life they're fine to play video games and

eat beans on toast and sit around in a small little apartment they only become unhappy for a few

hours now and again that's when they talk about how motivated they are that's when they talk

about how hard they want to try but in general they're actually perfectly fine with their life

meaning they wish to be there if they wished to be anywhere else they wouldn't be doing what

they're doing and by extension they would be exactly where they wish to be I want you to understand

at home whether you're successful or unsuccessful you wish to be where you are if you wished to be big

you'd be big you would train all day every day there is no such thing as wanting to be big and

wishing to be big truthfully and not being big if you say to a man do you want to be bigger the law

say yes but do they really wish for it oh you'll take it for free will you take anything for free

you'll take a Toyota Corolla for free but you won't buy one take it something for free it's very

different than going out there and earning it and paying for it they're very different things

so you're as big as you wish to be you're as rich as you wish to be you live where you wish to live

because truthfully when you wish for something with all of your heart never in history has the universe

or god failed to give it to you anything you've ever truly wished for in your entire life you have

gotten 100% of the time so then the logical extension of this mindset is you have to analyze and

decide one why you wish to be where you currently are why and two if you want to change that

where you actually genuinely wish to be because you have to make sure you really want it I really

don't like repeating myself ever but it feels like I have to with you people let me tell you something

else something I've already said let me give you one more piece of advice and listen to me carefully

because this will be a video that will be clipped and I will play it back in two years from now

and you will kick yourself listen to me now listen in your heart listen to me

because in two years when I play this video back you're going to hate yourself for your lack of action

so listen to me clearly and you have been fairly warned so in two years when I ask you why you

did not act you have no excuse you can pull out your ass you were told directly from me

you need to work you need to dedicate yourself we need to take these next few months seriously

2025 has to be a year of winners you need to reflect on your life you need to feed back

you need to analyze all of the mistakes you've made you need to stop wasting your time and stop

relying on me for temporary bursts of motivation so that you can focus on something for once in your

fucking life
