Jackie Chan says he risks his life on set not for fans but for himself, making movies he'd proudly show his children. Evan Carmichael argues entrepreneurs should feel the same way about their products: proud enough to recommend them to their mother or grandmother.
Good morning, Believe Nation! Today's message is do the best you can. Over to you, Jackie Chan.
Every day when I'm on the set, I just do the best I can. Every movie, I risk my life to do the things. For the beginning, it's not for the fans. It's for myself. Because I have to do the best I can. Then lately, becoming my trademark. Wow, Jackie risked his life. Boom, boom, boom. When I'm making a movie, after the movie is done, I ask myself, can my movie showing my children? Yes. Then I let my children to see it. Then if my children can see it, the whole world children can see it.
So the thing that really resonated with me in this video was doing something that you're proud of, right? You wanna pour your heart, your soul into the products and services you create, and it should be something that the end result you are proud of. And I loved when he said he wants to create something that he can show his kids and be proud of. That's a great model, right? You should love your product and service so much that you would happily recommend your mother or your grandmother to try it out, right? If you are not using your product and you're not that proud of it and you wouldn't tell your mother, "You've gotta use this," then you shouldn't be selling it. And this is a big problem for a lot of entrepreneurs who are in the network marketing or affiliate marketing industries where you've never actually even used the product or service that you're selling and there's no way you would feel comfortable promoting it to your mother. That's a sure sign that the business is not gonna work out. So you've gotta love your product. The other angle that I take from this is I don't try to make everything perfect. You know, a lot of people, they don't release anything yet because it's not perfect, and they're always tinkering and fine-tuning, and they never actually get anything out there. Where yes, perfection might be the goal, but it may not happen on the first version. And so even looking at these videos, if you go back and look at my channel, how it's grown, right? And every week if we make a mistake, we get a new idea, I don't go back and fix it. I just worry about the next product and the next vision and the next video that we're gonna come up with. Always trying to get better, but not being so caught up on it being perfect that you don't release anything. So my question of the day for you today is, are you proud enough of your product or service to recommend it to your mother and grandmother and why or why not? Leave it in the comments below. I'm gonna join in the discussion. Thank you so much for watching. Continue to believe, and I'll see you again tomorrow morning for another shot of espresso. We gotta get this right because I can't do a lot of chin-ups.
