Dana White, A Family Man of Business

Dana White is my annual BAMF, (Bad Ass Mother Fucker). I like to keep up with an annual BAMF based on the times we are living in and what big moves they make in their career. Dana White, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, just all the greats we know and love. If you are not a fan of Dana White, I highly encourage you to go and see the short documentary he is in. A short documentary of the UFC, YouTube channel Patrick Gavia did an excellent job on the story America’s Most Savage CEO.

I am a huge fan of billionaires going around laws and making things like the UFC as great as it is. This guy went to foreign countries to make the UFC what it is today. I am so done with all the other sports. Let’s see a fight. Just the way nature intended, this guy against another dude who has the balls to get into a ring. Why the fuck would I care about someone putting a ball to one side of a court or field to be put in a net or on a patch of grass. I just watched Gladiator again this week and was like, “oh ya, we used to do that shit.” Even better now though, everyone lives, everyone gets to go home. Little bruised, nobody dies, ok maybe a few times that happened, but not nearly as often and nobody sends lions when the fighters get tired. All in all, still pretty damn good entertainment.

In an interview with Theo Von, Dana White illustrates how he can say “go fuck yourself” (34:58) to one of his sponsorships who became politically inclined to tell the UFC President that he needed to take down a personal post about the former president Donald Trump. I’m sure the jackass sponsor guy thought Dana would just willingly comply with this ridiculous request. Well, guess he found out that Dana was not someone to be pushed around. Dana White has expressed numerous times about what kind of business he runs. They are a family; these are people that Dana has known for upwards of 20 years according to him. I would not be surprised if a part of his own family were to receive financial threats due to empty threats of not being sponsored by people who are as careless to think of him as a weak person or who treats his employees as family would not go scorched earth.

That being said, this is a company that has succeeded through covid as well climbed to new heights during very difficult times. Great points that Dana has made as well from a business perspective is that you must have people you can rely on. As well while asking Theo Von “would this work without them?” pointing to this staff off camera, Von replying “no ” just verifies Dana White’s mentality on the importance of the people around you. 

I do wish people would understand the importance as so many successful people have, that the people around you are either pushing you forward or holding you back. Be with people that believe in the same mission as you. Hardest part is finding the right mission for you. If you’re a shit musician but you keep going down that path, then you are wasting your time. No matter how much you believe in it. You have to be realistic in your approach to life. Jordan Peterson so eloquently says but I am not quoting, to go about an aim. First aim high, but make sure you know the steps in order to reach the end goal. I’m paraphrasing but, I will link here so you can interpret it for yourself. If I was to teach, I would say if you were to shoot a basketball, why start from half court when you should start with lay ups then work your way back. Or if you aim to win the homerun derby, but have never hit a baseball before, you see where I am going with this. As much as I may shit on other sports, they make great analogies and it’s all beers and hot dogs anyway so who gives a shit. Bangov Actual, out.

Is Moving Too Fast Worse Than Standing Still?

Is it a surprise to anyone that you may not be working on the same things, or even have the same job that you were working 5 years ago? Some of you have never even lasted in the same industry long enough to update your license plate tabs. Well, you’re not alone. Problem is that not a lot of people believe you can be successful in an industry where you have to start from the bottom. It is a very short, sided approach to not look at a future position. Of course, not everyone has had parents that have been doing a job they did for a few decades and were very proud to say anything about it. Military i hear all the time of the pride they have had in how long they have been in. if you’re not military then you probably don’t give a shit if someone has done 20-30 years. Not really an issue, unless you’re in your 30’s and you’re still trying to figure out what you want to do with your life. I commend anyone that has committed to a way of life for a portion of their lives. I don’t mean 2-3 years; I mean between 1- 3 decades. Those people saw a path and they stuck with it. Those of you that have had 5 or 6 jobs in the last decade, are just making it harder for yourself to see any real progress in the work that you have done.

 

You move from one job to the next because of a higher paycheck. I get it, i like money too, but what you’re seeing is a blanket effect of skills when you need to be spearheading through paying your dues and gaining a level of experience that could lead to supervisor, district manager or even senior level director positions. It is the same as hiring managers look at when they see resumes with too many moves in a given time. They are thinking this person is only going to be here 6 months- a year before they get bored and want something else. If they see an intended path through your resume, they are more likely to be the company that takes a chance on you because their picture is clear that this is what you have intended to do. 

 

Try asking a basket weaver who has been doing it for 10 years if they can help us in our gender study poll. Probably not the person you want to ask when getting accurate information or having a sound mind of the subject. Not that people really give a shit about either, but when looking at your future, even in your 30s, and 40s just remember, another 20-30 years more of working till retirement. So, start looking at what your wish to accomplish and spear heading your way through what you must do to get to where you want.

 

Starting your own business or not, having a job at any age won’t mean shit if you neglect the process of what you’re doing and only know the labor side. As you grow with your company you are learning the ins and outs of what it means to be successful, not just as a company but as someone who can see a future for himself as a business owner. Everyone says to follow your passions, but they never say JUST PICK ONE DICK HEAD, thanks dad. Bangov Actual, out.

It Comes From Within

Caught between a rock and a hard place. When schedules tend to build up and day becomes more and more busy, it’s almost like breathing through a straw. Swimming laps, and you are in between 2 brick walls. Any break in your form and you chip a nail, sprain your wrist or WORSE, can’t complete your flip turn…but I digress, those who are trying to make things work by filling your schedule are not doing it through keeping busy. Focusing your efforts is something I myself have struggled to do for a long time. Problem is I still continue to do it. I just want to do so many things in life, for many years I have tried to tackle different pursuits in order to make meaning out of life without really having one that I intend to focus on and really define it’s true worth or purpose for me to continue. I think I just answered your question of “what should I do then?” I’ll bet you already have had as few to maybe a million times in your head where you considered a pursuit in something, but just did not think it was worth your time or maybe was thinking “what if I fail?” Well newsflash you have already wasted enough time not following that in which you have been day dreaming about for years. At the end of your life will you be thinking of things you have wanted to pursue? Problem that people tend to have with the pursuit of happiness is the “pursuit” aspect. Pursuit as per the definition is the “action”, key word here, of following or pursuing someone or something. Pursuits are all we have to feel alive leading us down unknown or unexpected twists and turns. Choose one and go. When you choose to stop, that is your choice. Just do yourself a favor and do not stop because of fear or lack of motivation. Motivation which I have discussed before and yet has come up many more times because people think they have to be motivated in order to start moving. Motivation from this point on will no longer be something that I am in search of. From this day forward motivation will be created within. In the endless pursuit that is life, I will wake up, walk, talk, drink, eat sleep and even PISS motivation because it is something created within. This as well ties into your self reliance. The “need” for motivation should be developed from within. It is what is kicking and screaming at the door trying to get out. To rely on others for things you can produce yourself is like asking if you can have a cookie. “Are you still a child or are you an adult?” Think of rolling down a hill…just go with me ;on this, you’re at the top of the hill. When you’re at the top you get into a shopping cart and you have nobody else with you. You need to edge the cart near the slide and just jump in at the moment just before it leaves to gain speed. Just reading this far you probably have already said, “what about brakes?” What about this, what about that? You all already putting safety nets and things for you to ensure nothing bad happens. Just jump in and enjoy the ride, let go of the fear and know false senses of security are a killer of the human experience of adventure and what it means to know what you’re made of.

Let’s Define Terms “Wisdom”

Wisdom: the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement; the quality of being wise.

Let us take into account that those of us that have ever asked another for advice, knowledge on something or “wisdom” of some sort, some may have taken it to heart. Some have taken it with a grain of salt. To have information is instant nowadays, so what we must be cautious of is how this information is interpreted by each individual. Us a population have it in us to tell someone something we know just because we know the particular fact or stat that was told to us. So what does this mean when trusting someone, knowing them long term or not. This is something that I have said before, when i mention it is in your best interest when getting the most out of life, to Dig, Dig, Dig. Dig for not only the facts or stats, but dig for the interpretation of who is telling you this information. Can be your husband, wife, mother, father, daughter, brother. Interesting enough wisdom is not defined by being right or wrong, it is the “quality” as stated in the definition, of being able to  share with others your experiences and knowledge on a particular subject. How do we with so much access to knowledge, so much access to other peoples opinions, “wisdom”, how do we funnel and focus on what we need to, to make sure we are being to true to who we are? I have stated this before, and anyone that has ever read a self help book has the same “wisdom” thrown at them that the people you surround yourself with are the average of what you will get out of life. Those who are stuck, those who are in what feels like a trap of your upbringing. Go for a walk, go for a drive, swim, get out of the bubble you are in for even a moment and know that when you feel that sense of relief, pressure off your chest, breath of fresh air, go back inside and trap yourself again. Go back and realize you have so much more control over your own environment and the “wisdom” that you surround yourself with. Do that a few times a week and your addiction to that freedom will start to feed your creativity for expanding what is possible. Your mind will begin to create different pathways that were once foreign to you. That is how you create your own world by getting out of the one you feel so stuck in right now. Your 9-5 you may not like, your relationship you can’t end because maybe the lease is not up for 6 more months, (which is a piss poor excuse if you ask me.) Try and maintain a level of integrity for yourself in order to break away from a world that you constantly escape through day dreaming of being somewhere else. Your only excuse is that you will not take the necessary steps in order to move forward with your life. Blame yourself and move forward..Bangov Actual, out!

This May Be Hard To Hear

No one is going to save you. Self reliance is a key factor in the game of life and being in charge of those pursuits in which make you a happy person. Being able to push through pain. We have all heard these things. Many motivational speakers tell those they have will, or determination that they do not know. The difference that must be made is internally. Relying on others to tell you what you are worth is a great indicator that you do not have enough respect for yourself. So why should others hear what you have to say. I am not going to tell you that you have what it takes to do great things. I do not know you! If you think you do then guess what, you’re headed in the right direction. Has to come from you, that you are willing to go the extra mile and not be afraid of that which you dream of. Like a volume knob get everyone and everything around you turned way down so that you cannot hear them. Listen to what is going on inside you and only you. You may have someone on the inside screaming and you cannot hear them because you are too busy listening to the losers around you or those who pretend to know more than you. Take some time for yourself, I promise the more focused you become, the more you will enjoy being alone and listening to the voice of your own eagerness to strive for better. Better car, better house, better things for you and those around you. I won’t tell you your worth it, because if you have any fight in you then you’re already telling yourself. I am just here to tell you to start listening to what is inside. You may not recognize yourself at first, it’s been a while through the many years you have been listening to everyone else on how to do things. The great save for retirement and be scared of harsh spending. Stop telling yourself you cannot afford something, or you don’t have time for things because you know yourself deep down how much bullshit is really between your fiction and the reality of your situation and how it can be improved. Run, scream, kick, and fight your way out of your reality to create a new one for yourself. Life as you know it now is all a matter of your perspective and having the ability to change all comes down to a single choice to commit action into your daily routine. Once or twice a day, not sure how many steps you’re willing to take a day, I won’t decide that for you, but tell me about it if you would like and maybe I would like to incorporate these actions in my life.

Sex And Business

No this is not a sex contract being negotiated. I do enjoy details of how individuals get to the specific act, but understand when dating that to treat it like business in a way that it is worth your time and money. Someone who may see things as you do can really intensify the electricity between instead of just the act itself. If within 20 minutes things have not taken off into conversation that is organic then politely leave. You have no obligations to this person you just met and should not feel bullied into thinking other ewise. Not saying you have to make up an excuse because that is all they are. The real reason of this is just not working out is perfectly acceptable. Tell the waiter that you would like to enjoy your drinks for a little bit and just talk. Be flirty if you are, or don’t. When women mean to be genuine they do expect you to have a way of being tactful in how you carry yourself. You do not have to be rude, you just have to have the presence that your time is valuable and do not want to waste theirs. If things start to take off and you are going to be there for a while, order appetizers, order a meal, whatever. Now thinking of this while talking across a table of attorney’s, accountants, bankers. Conversation should have the same level of attitude. I don’t want to waste your time and certainly do not wish to waste mine. Someone in the end may still get fucked, so don’t expect me to tell you how to close every time. Read the vibe, especially if the date is going well then you have all the time in the world to plan your next move. I understand the nerves and skills will come with time, but while developing them have fun. Also don’t give me the “what if I am Married?” Any chance your wife would like to go out for a night? Probably wouldn’t mind being spoiled for a night. I myself am not married but for the divorced women I have gone on dates with they have told me in the end the guy just gave up. Ladies!, moans, groans, bitches complaints, I am more than happy to funnel frustrations through my blog in order to reach those who may need a quick reminder of throw her on the bed, or when we have a babysitter, it is game time. You’re words ladies not mine. Positive outlooks on dates, as well as business is just one way to have the right mindset going forward, as always do your due diligence not to be cat fished, be present and take an interest in the situation you have both created, but in the end respect that someone has taken the time in order to get to know you and see what you’re about.

Deadlines Are Such A Beautiful Thing

Putting a time stamp on things, has to be one of the best tools I have ever used. As well just fun in general to see how much can be done in a given time. Stop thinking of them as a way for your boss to yell at you and use them to accomplish things in your own life. Can be small of course, maybe get the house cleaned in a matter of a certain time and what is not cleaned in 30 minutes leave for tomorrow. God forbid you haven’t cleaned out the shower, it will get dirty again I promise you that. Just an example but this is utilizing time for you to do what you are passionate about and forget about the little things which in time you could hire someone else to do for you. Also stop bleaching every little thing ya fucking psycho. Put a deadline on projects for you to get things done for your own business that your boss does not know about. Hell I did it for years, and sometimes you just have to be selfish for yourself. Also what i mean by that is always be selfish for you, always look out for number one. Always see losers say they want to help people but never really have the ability to instill change over a given issue they care about. Deadline sections of success and see how far you come in a given year. Bangov Actual, out.
