Don't Get In The Way Of Your Own Success

Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to an exciting Marketing in Your Car. Today I'm here with my beautiful wife, Collette. Can you say hi? Hello! She's so embarrassed to be on the podcast. We are heading to the airport, getting ready to fly out for the Funnel Hacking event. Welcome to the Marketing in Your Car podcast where you can increase your traffic, conversions, and sales in just 10 minutes a day. And now here's your host, Russell Brunson. Alright, so today Today's message for you guys is one that, yeah, first get to the airport safely. My wife's pretty sure we're gonna die. She's not used to this podcasting while we're driving. So, we're about to get on the freeway. We're gonna survive though. Okay, so today's message. This morning I was getting ready to head out, jumped on Facebook to make sure everyone's still coming to the event and that the party's still on, and it was, which is good. But then there's some dude who posted in our group basically saying, they still haven't gotten the DotCom Secrets book, which I understand. It's been a little while. I've posted like 50 times why it takes a long time. But anyway, so I kind of responded back and just said, "Hey, this is why." You know, I said, "Hey, it was a pre-launch for the book. That's why it didn't get shipped till recently. And then the publisher, we're going through a publisher, so we don't really have control of it." So there, my wife's making me punch it past this other car. Oh man, if you guys witness this death, tell our kids we love them. Anyway, I told him basically that the reason my book was late and basically said, "Hey, in exchange, we gave you a $2,000 course for free and basically you paid $7 shipping and handling, so it's going to be all right. Just calm down and everything will be all right." Anyway, the guy comes back and private messages me, kind of all flipping out about how if I was to go to Denny's and if I ordered a steak, I don't care if they brought me free donuts and ice cream. I ordered a steak and I want the steak. Something like that, which whatever. And then, we're gonna be okay, hon, I promise. And then the thing that bugged me, he said, I bought the book and I would've bought ClickFunnels and I would be at your event this weekend, because I didn't get the book, I refused to invest in those 'cause it just left a bad taste in my mouth or something like that. And it just made me think about how often we let stupid things get in our way from being successful. Like honestly, this guy could be using ClickFunnels, which could get him given the ability to change his entire company, change his life as all of you guys know, but he refused to do it because his book has been shipped late. He could be at this live event right now networking with 600 other amazing entrepreneurs who are changing the world in their own way, but he didn't because he's annoyed that the book showed up late. And I think that sometimes people, and this guy's a perfect example, is just putting all of these roadblocks in his way to success because he's just annoyed instead of just being grateful for all the stuff he's getting and all the value he's getting from from me and from us and from everything. And then after like, I went back and forth and I apologized and I kind of, you know, just whatever, trying to be a nice guy. And then he messaged me and he said, well I tried ClickFunnels but it doesn't work for real estate agents. And I'm like, dude, you missed the whole point of everything. Had you have watched the 14 hours of the training, oh cool, some jets just flew over. I'm like, if you had watched the 14 hours of training, you'd understand how to use ClickFunnels as a realtor. Had you have, you know, networked in our group, had you have logged into ClickFunnels and gone through the training, had you have showed up at the event, you'd know exactly how to use it for what you're doing. But instead, you're confused because you let a stupid thing keep you in the way of being successful. So, the moral of today's lesson is don't let stupid things keep you in the way of being successful. Like, just blow it off. It was $7 you spent and anyway, I hope that makes sense. Now we're getting in traffic now. We're still gonna get on time though. We got 13 minutes before we gotta be there. Anyway, so just wanted to leave that with you guys today. Just make sure that you're not keeping, that you're not the one keeping yourself from success over little trivial things. Let things roll off your back and look for the good things and look for all the awesome stuff that can happen. And if you do that, you can be successful. You could be at the live event. You could be using ClickFunnels. You could be changing your life. Instead, you're annoyed about something outside of any of our control. So hope that helps. Claire, any final words for the listening audience? Uh, c'est la vie! Vegas, baby! We're heading to Vegas. All right, we'll see you guys. We're gonna be in Vegas here in a couple hours. Appreciate you all, and we'll talk to you soon.
