Starting point is 00:00:00 Metrolinx and Crosslinx are reminding everyone to be careful as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress. Please be alert, as trains can pass at any time on the tracks. Remember to follow all traffic signals, be careful along our tracks, and only make left turns where it's safe to do so. Be alert, be aware, and stay safe. You're listening to Marketing Secrets with your host, Russell Brunson.
Starting point is 00:00:35 What's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson. So it has been almost two, in fact, maybe even three years since I announced I was working on my next book, The Secrets of Success, which by the way has changed titles like 500 times as well. But I think that's where it's landing at. I don't know. I might change it again. But anyway, since then I've written the manuscript multiple times. I've deleted the entire manuscript multiple times because that's what I do. I don't think anyone really talks about how hard it is to actually write a really good book, something that you want to live beyond yourself. I think there's so many people, so many people that talk about like how to write a book in a weekend, how to write a book in 24 hours, which is great for like lead gen and stuff like that. But if your goal is to write a
Starting point is 00:01:13 book that's going to last, like it's, it's tough. It's a lot of work. It's interesting. Cause like, um, I think the first books were easier for me to write. Cause I'd spent a decade or more on the stages, traveling the world, speaking on those topics where this is more something that's been in my brain and so it's harder to get out. But anyway, I'm saying that just because I don't do books just for the sake of doing books. But I'm getting excited because I feel like I keep getting closer and closer to something that's going to be great. So someday maybe you'll see a book from me entitled Secrets of Success or some version of that. So keep your fingers crossed. I'm excited for it. But I want to give you an idea of some of the path on the stuff I've been brainstorming so far. In fact, I wanted to share with you guys a presentation I did about a year ago or so to
Starting point is 00:01:53 a special group of VIPs for an event I did called Ecom vs. Expert with Alison Prince, which was a ton of fun. I did a VIP session earlier in the day where I shared some of my thoughts on success and personal development and how to make sure that you have success going through this event. After that, I did an event at the Mastermind in Paradise for my two CCX and Inner Circle members, which was good. In fact, I did another one like a month ago. So again, I keep iterating on these frameworks and these ideas and there's so many things I want to share, but sometimes it's too much. But I was really proud of this presentation. It was something I think was powerful, was simple, and gave a lot of cool things that I think will help you on your journey. Whatever your goal is.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Success for everyone is different. Some people's success is a lot of money. Some it's family. Some it's sports, like whatever it is for you. Hopefully this presentation will help you to get closer to your goal. So what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to take this presentation and we'll kind of drip feed it to you over the next couple episodes. And, uh, my goal is hopefully as you listen to it, you actually take action on each of the steps so you can get the most out of it. And if you do one more favor,
Starting point is 00:02:56 if you enjoy this episode, uh, please take a screenshot on your phone or wherever you're listening to it and then post on social and tag me and give me your number one takeaway with your thoughts on success and how, uh, anything, any other ideas you have for how we can make, um, this presentation or these concepts better because, um, trying to get to the finish line of having the greatest success book in the history of all time. So with that said, here we go. Hope you enjoy the first session here of the secrets of success training. The first thing I want to talk about, because this is going to be different for everyone
Starting point is 00:03:27 is all of you guys came here today, right? Because you want to have success. You want to have success. You want to make more money. You want to have more freedom, like whatever that means to you, but everybody defines success differently, right? So the first question I want to ask is like, what does success mean for you? Success mean for you. Okay. Like when will you know that you're actually successful? When you'd be like, Oh my gosh, this is awesome. I'm successful. I had somebody asked me this a while ago. They asked me, they said, Russell, like you've been doing this for a long time. Like when did you like, when did you feel like you arrived? And when did you feel like you were successful? And I was like, I don't know yet. I'll let you know when I feel that way. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Most of us who are high achievers who do stuff like this, you know, especially you guys who are paying VIPs are high achievers. Like you're here. Right. And most of us, right? Most of us who are high achievers who do stuff like this, you know, especially you guys who are paying VIPs, you're high achievers, like you're here, right? And most of us, it's hard for us to find success. And so I wanted to help create some definitions. So we know when we've hit our goals and we know we've gotten to the place that we're trying to get to, right? And so the first thing I want you to pretend like I'm your coach for today, right? And I'm here and we are in front of a whiteboard and we're about to start our brand new season. And in this thing, I want to kind of help you guys to figure out your goals and what things are looking like. Now, most of them set New Year's resolutions, right? They're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:04:33 I'm going to try to lose weight. I'm going to try to do that. And they put a whole bunch of like a thousand different goals. And then they go and they start trying to do all of them. They last like two or three days and the whole thing collapses, right? And I think the way to look at this differently is if we step back and instead, I want to at this the way that, um, like if we were playing football, right? If we were in the NFL and we're trying to play football, how would we look at this? Right? And there's different tiers of goals. Um, if you were to play football, like the first goal that someone has, like the top tier goal here, the very first thing they're looking for is what we call a hall of fame goal, hall of fame goal, right? Like the big goal is somebody want to be in the hall of fame,
Starting point is 00:05:05 right? This is legacy. This is the big thing. So my first question for you is like, what is your hall of fame? What is it like? It's like the big goal. Like, why are you doing all this stuff? Right? Like, yeah, you're here to learn how to make money. You're here because you want to either get good at e-commerce or expert or whatever your thing is. But, but that's a, that's a means to an end. Like, what is the end? Like, what is the thing you're trying to get to? Um, think about this. Like if you were at your funeral and someone's on stage reading your obituary, what would they say about you? This is what your hall of fame goal is. What is that thing? Where are you trying to get to? So my first question is I want you guys to kind of think through that. And we're not going to have
Starting point is 00:05:34 time in this 50 minute window to go deep on that. But I want you to think about what is your hall of fame goal? I've been thinking a lot about this over the last three or four months, just trying to think like, what does that look like? What do I want people to remember me for? And as I do that, there's a lot of different things. It's not just, oh, I want to be known for my business, right? There's a lot of things I want to be known for. I want to be known for who I was as a father, who I was as a husband, who I was as a spiritual leader, who I was as an entrepreneur, who I was as an author, like who I was as an athlete. Like I've always facets of my life that I hopefully someday at my funeral, when they're reading my obituary, they're talking about like, man,
Starting point is 00:06:04 he was a great father. He loved his kids. He showed up to the wrestling practices. He went to all their matches. He didn't miss any games. Right. Oh, and he like served as entrepreneurs and like, and he did. And like the all different parts of our life. So I think about hall of fame. I think about this is like a very holistic, like here's the pie of you. If you were to split this up into all the pieces, like what are all the things like that someday you want to figure out, right? You want to be like, this is my legacy. This is my hall of fame. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:25 And that's where it all begins because that's gonna start driving the direction of where we're going. Sometimes when we like sit back and this is the hall of fame, this is where I want to go. But then the other goals that are going this direction, there's a mismatch, right? When they're not going the same direction, what happens? You stress out, you have an anxiety because you're not moving towards your goal. We're entrepreneurs.
Starting point is 00:06:42 We're momentum based creatures, right? If we're not in momentum towards something, then we get stressed out. We get depressed. We get anxiety. All those things are happening, okay? And so a lot of times, we don't know where we're aiming, and so we're just off the races, and eventually, you find yourself in stress, anxiety, depression, all these things because we're not in momentum towards the thing we really want in life.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And the reason why most people don't, because they never actually define that. So what is your Hall of Fame goal? Is the first thing in what you're thinking through, okay? Think about, like, throughout this event, throughout this weekend, like what are those things? Like what are all the pieces of this pie that you're trying to figure out for yourself? Okay. Now after five years of your football coach, I said, there's a hall of fame. You figured it out. Now let's come back and talk about your Superbowl goal. Okay. Your Superbowl goal. This is like my, um, like again, if you're playing football, your goal is to win the Superbowl, right? Like
Starting point is 00:07:23 that's the next 12 months we're in the season. Our goal is to win the Super Bowl, right? Like, that's the next 12 months. We're in the season. Our goal is to start. And by the time it's done, we want to win the Super Bowl. So my question for you is, like, what is your Super Bowl goal? Okay, now I'm assuming if you're in my world and you're here right now, your Super Bowl goal probably, at least hopefully, is to win a two-comma club award, right? Like, this is, for a lot of you guys, this is a Super Bowl goal. Like, next 12 months, I want to get on stage, come up there, get a two-collar club reward from Russell. Like, that's the Super Bowl goal, right?
Starting point is 00:07:47 That's where I'm trying to get to, okay? And if that goal leads you closer to a Hall of Fame goal, that's awesome. If it doesn't, like, what is your goal? Maybe it's different. Maybe it's not to win a two-collar club award. Maybe it's like, I just need to make an extra 500 bucks a week because, or excuse me, 500 bucks a month because that'll cover my bills. And like, that's my Super Bowl goal for this year. That's what I really need to get myself freedom that
Starting point is 00:08:06 I'm looking for. Right? So everyone's goals is going to be different, but you got to figure out like, what's the Superbowl goal the next 12 months? Like, what is it you're trying to accomplish that you want to do? Okay. Sorry, my handwriting is horrible. Now, a couple of things about this, as you're, as you're doing your Superbowl goal, getting your hall of fame goal, there's a lot of areas of your life, right? But as you're going for like a Superbowl goal, getting your hall of fame goal. There's a lot of areas of your life, right? But as you're going for like a Superbowl goal, um, I want you to understand that typically if you are going for something big and something great, um, you can't do it by being in balance. Okay. People ask me, Russell, how do you live such a balanced life? And I look at him and I smile and I laugh a little. I said, you have to understand like, um, I do not live a balanced life.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Okay. Um, everything good in my life, everything amazing has come from times of radical imbalance. Okay. And I know this is against what most people teach and talk to us that we have to live a balanced life, make sure everything's working, but nothing good in my life came during times of a balanced life. Okay. I know this is kind of weird, but I want to explain it. So I think about when I was growing up, the first time I really had success in something was wrestling, right? And when I got into wrestling, I became obsessed with it. Eventually became a state champ. I took second place in the nation. I was an all American. I wrestled in college. But if you look at my life during that time, right, there's all these things. I had my, my, my family and my, and my girlfriends
Starting point is 00:09:17 and my, my personal life, my, all the things, schoolwork, all those kinds of things, right? Like I was not balanced. Okay. For me to be super successful wrestling, I become radically imbalanced for season time to become good at that thing. Right. I put my time, my energy, my effort, my thought, my everything was in this goal because I wanted it so badly. And I focused on, I focused on, I focused on. Eventually I hit these goals and I had success. Came to my wife, Colette. I was like, oh my gosh, she's beautiful. I really like her. And if I would have had a balanced life, then I would spend a little time with her and then time at school. And like I would have had all these things and nothing great would have ever come from it. It's because I found her. I really like her. And if I would have had a balanced life, then I would spend a little time with her and then time at school.
Starting point is 00:09:45 And like, I would have had all these things and nothing great would have ever come from it. It's because I found her. I was like, oh my gosh, like this is the woman I want to marry. I want to be with her for the rest of my life. My time, I radically got imbalanced, focused on her because I had to build a foundation with her, right? Because I was radically in unbalanced.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I spent time with her. That's how we built the foundation of our love, of our marriage. And all of these became because a time of radical imbalance. Same thing happened when I launched my company, when we launched ClickFunnels. If you saw the beginnings of ClickFunnels, it was me and Todd working 10, 12, 14, 18 hour days for a season of like eight, 12 months,
Starting point is 00:10:17 radically imbalanced to get this thing off of the ground. If we would have lived a balanced life during that time, it would have taken us seven or eight years to get to the point where we are, that we got to during that window of time, right? We had to go radically in balance for a season to be able to create something successful. I'm a big believer in that. If I'm coming in here, I'm going to try to become radically balanced in all these different things here.
Starting point is 00:10:34 It's going to be very, very difficult for you to hit your goals because you can't do the level of thing you need to do to be successful. You can't do that in two or three or four or five things at once. As much as you want to be, right? I want this Hall of Fame goal. I want all these big things. But right now, what season are you in? Okay, there's a scripture I was going to share. And there's also a song, the birds wrote this into a song,
Starting point is 00:10:53 but it came from the scriptures. Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 through 8 says, there's a time for everything in a season for every activity under heaven. There's a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mour born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search
Starting point is 00:11:15 and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love, a time to hate, and a time for war and a time for peace. Okay? So my question for you is what time in your life are you? Okay? If you were realistic, this is my time. This is my time.
Starting point is 00:11:31 I've got to figure this out. If you're going to be successful here, I feel like for a season, you've got to become kind of insane. You've got to become a little bit radically imbalanced. I don't mean leave your family and your kids and all these kind of things, your church. Like, no, you need to be doing those things and maintaining them. But, man, there's going to be a window of time where you've got to put extra time into this. You have become radically imbalanced. You gotta be waking up a little bit earlier, staying up a little bit late. Okay. I was up till one o'clock last night working on this for you guys. Um, and I got to say at five o'clock this morning. So I
Starting point is 00:11:55 came radically imbalanced for me to be able to perform and be able to help you guys at this point. I couldn't have done it. Been like, well, I'm working on the five and I'm going home. Wouldn't have happened. Okay. Like we had to do a lot of work. I get radically imbalanced to be able to create something amazing for you guys. So for you, if you're like, this is my goal. I want to win a two comic club board. I want to, uh, whatever your goal is, the thing you ask. Okay. There's a season of my time.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I'm going to become a little bit radically imbalanced. It's going to be hard. It's going to be painful. I'm going to be tired. If it's not forever, but there's a season where I got to figure this stuff out and I got to put the time and the energy and effort in. Okay. So that's the next step.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Setting the Superbowl goal and realizing there's going to be this time, uh, like you're in a time and a season. If you really want to achieve that, like if you're going for the Superbowl, man, if the team's like, I'm, we're going for Superbowl, it's like, Hey, if we're going to do this, like we got to be committed, right? We're going to be working out. We're gonna be working late. We're going to be working early. We're going to be working hard. We're going to be eating differently. We're gonna be exercising differently. If we really want to hit this goal, we have to do things differently for a season, right? Then we're going to win the Super Bowl. We can relax and like, oh, and then we can go back to balance. But if we really want to be
Starting point is 00:12:49 successful in that season, we've got to understand that this is how success happens. Okay. All right. After you have that, then it's like we have the Super Bowl. We know we're going. Now I need a guide. Now I need a plan. Like, how am I going to get there? Okay. Now that you've got like, this is the focal point that we're going to focus on the next 12 months of my life. Now I need a plan. Okay. Um, and here, I'll talk about this more in a minute, but typically from here is where you go and you find the guide. Who is the guide who has the plan? Okay. If I was, if I was, you know, I don't fall football. I know the Superbowl is coming up right now, but if I was, whatever team's about to win this thing or trying to win this thing, like they set the goal, the next thing is they got to get a guide or a coach or somebody who's
Starting point is 00:13:24 got a game plan. Here's the plan. Here's what we're doing. Okay. Napoleon Hill talked about this in pretty much every one of his courses. I've had a chance to go through a lot of employee hill stuff recently. We talked about, um, when you set a goal, right? He says, you got to pick a goal and then you pursue it with definiteness of purpose, definite purpose. Not just like, Oh, I'm going to like, I'm going to try to get that thing. So no, no, no, no. If you're going to pursue this goal, Superbowl goal, whatever that thing is for you, you got to pursue it with definite. It is a purpose. That means I know exactly what it is. I'm moving forward with purpose, right? So if you got to move forward, definite is purpose.
Starting point is 00:13:53 And you have to have a definite plan. So it's not like I'm going to win two comic club award. And then you start going like, Oh, it's like, no, no, no, no. Definite is a purpose. So I have purpose. I know exactly where I'm going. This is the direction, the target I'm going for. I'm going to be radically balanced for season time. And I've got a definite plan to get me there. So what is your plan? What is the step-by-step process? Okay. Well, if this is your first roadie, if it's your first time, you've never won a two column club award, I don't care how smart you are. You probably don't have the right plan. So the next goal is to figure out like, well, who has the plan? Who is my guide? Who is my Yoda? That's going to take me on this journey and help me to have success. Okay. Now, obviously over the next, you know, 48 hours or so,
Starting point is 00:14:27 Allison and I are going to be your guides. We're going to be your Yodas, giving you guys the step-by-step blueprint. Here's the map to get you guys to the Two Comic Club Award through either physical products or info products, right? And we're going to be giving you guys and being your guide. The next step is to figure out what's the guide. Like, what is the step-by-step process? First, I got to do this.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Then I got to do this. Then I got to do this, right? And football is like, hey, we got to win this amount of games. Then we got to win our conference. Then we got to win this. And then boom, this. I got to do this. Right? And football is like, hey, we got to win this amount of games. Then we got to win our conference. Then we got to win this. And then boom, like there's the process and the path. Right? For you guys, it's very similar.
Starting point is 00:14:50 We got to find a product. Now we got a product. How do we sell the product? What's the funnel? How do we drive traffic? There's a very systematic step-by-step process that doesn't deviate, doesn't change. It's not weird. It's like it just works.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Right? That's why Allison and I are both so comfortable teaching this stuff is because the guide, like the path is figured out, right? You guys have just figured out what your product, what your service, plug it into the path, and then you get successful, right? And so that's the next step is who is the guide? Um, sorry, there's so many cool things I'm trying to go from here. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:17 So the guide, now this comes back to, you guys have heard me talk a lot about this, uh, and expert seekers have talked about it other places, but when you have the guide, the, the best place to explain this is in the heroes to journeys. I'm actually gonna talk about heroes to journeys later on today. Um, but you know, if you look at story structure, there's always every story throughout time and, and everywhere, there's always a hero, right? And the hero goes and, uh, the hero gets called to an adventure, right? And think about any movie you ever seen. Think about, uh, cars, think about Rocky Balboa. I think about, uh, Lord of the Rings. Think about, again, pick any movie of all time from the beginning of time till now. It usually starts with a hero
Starting point is 00:15:51 and the hero decides I want to achieve this thing. And they're over here. There's this big mountain they want to climb and they want to achieve something, right? Okay. But the hero always starts in an ordinary world and they hear this calling. I need to go like, like Frodo, you got to take the ring to Mordor, right? Or Lightning McQueen, you got to go and you were going to go win the Piston Cup. Like they have something and they have to leave their ordinary world and go on this journey, right? As soon as they leave their ordinary world, the first thing that always happens is they meet a guide, right? So the guide is someone who's been there before, done there, who's already been at the mountain back. And now the guide is going to be taking them on this, on this journey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:24 So every movie's got it. Think about the best example of star Wars, right? Luke Skywalker leaves the ordinary world, starts going out there and then boom, who does he introduce to Yoda? Yoda has the force, understands the force, teaches him, takes him on this journey, helps him figure out who he is. And eventually he goes and achieves the thing he's trying to do. Okay. So that's the key is in this journey of every story of all time from beginning time till now, there's always a, the hero leaves leaves the ordinary world finds the guide and takes my path so the next thing you have to know who your goal is the second the next question is who is my guide who is the person again i propose that alice and i will be your guides for next day and a half and hopefully long term
Starting point is 00:16:55 hopefully you guys decide to follow us into the coaching programs and things like that we continue to be your guide for next 12 months um as you guys are training and preparing for your Super Bowl goal. Okay. Um, okay. Um, all right. What's up everybody. This is Russell Brunson. I've got something really cool for you today from my friend Taylor Wells. And Taylor spoke at our last funnel hacking live because I wanted him to share a really cool concept about what he calls the revolving pricing method. And today he decided to sponsor the podcast to give you guys more access to this super cool strategy that you are going to love. It's something we've been implementing into our high-end coaching program as well, and it is amazing. But to kind of give you some context
Starting point is 00:17:30 about this offer he's making for you guys, as you may or may not know, a few years ago, JP Morgan Chase did a study, and guess what they found? They found that the average small business only has about 28 days of operating expenses in reserve. That's right, less than a month of cash on hands. Now, if you're like me, the idea of your business being one bad month away from disaster is enough to make your stomach drop. Am I right? Especially with how the economy's been lately. It's not the time to be gambling with your finances. So, Taylor put together this book called The Revolving Pricing Method, and it's awesome. It helps you turn every client you close into a long-term profit machine. We're not talking about one-time paydays. We're talking about creating sustainable and real
Starting point is 00:18:04 predictable income for the long haul. Now Now here's where it gets even better. Taylor put together an awesome exclusive deal just for you guys, my marketing secrets listeners. And if you go over to wealthyconsultants.com slash secrets, you can grab the revolving price method book and over $150 worth of bonuses and get this all. It's at 70% off. And I promise you guys as a customer of this, you are going to love it. So if you're serious about growing your business with real stability, this is the model you need to add into your funnels. So go over to wealthy consultant.com slash secrets, grab your 70% off deal, and let's start turning your clients into long-term revenue. Again,
Starting point is 00:18:34 that's wealthy consultant.com slash secrets. Do not miss out. Hey, this is Russell Brunson. And I want to jump in really quick to share with you a new assessment. I found out that is insanely cool. You guys know I'm obsessed with personality profiles and assessments, but this one is different because not only does it help you to understand yourself, but more importantly, especially for us who are entrepreneurs, it helps us understand our employees, our teams, and get people sitting on the right seats in the bus so they can get more stuff done. I just had a chance to interview Patrick Lanchoni talking specifically about this new assessment they created called Working Genius. And the Working
Starting point is 00:19:04 Genius is awesome. Like this test, I had actually blocked out an hour to take it because I was so excited for the new assessment. And it only took me like 10 minutes or less to get it done. Yet, even though it takes only 10 minutes, like you can actually apply this immediately. I took it for myself. I had my team take it. And what's cool about it is from there, we figured out exactly what people's Working Geniuses are. And that's important because if you're building a team or a company, you got to figure out, make sure that you have, first off, the right people, but make sure the right people are sitting in the right seats on the bus.

Then from here, there's one last step after you've got like the plot, the process and the path. Then the last thing here is figuring out your, um, your routines and habits. Okay. For me to get this goal, it's a, it's funny cause everyone wants the big goal,
Starting point is 00:20:44 right? They want to win the super bowl. They want to win a two column club award, but what all breaks down to that, you know, okay, there's the goal. Here's the path I need to go. Then it's breaking things down to like, Hey, what are the habits and routines I have to have to be successful? If I'm be successful, I had to figure out my habits and routines. For me, this is literally opening up Google calendar and saying, okay, for me to do this, I can wake up every morning, an hour earlier. So I'm waking up at six o'clock or seven o'clock and then I'm going to take out two hours a night and I'm blocking out the time and setting up the routines. This is when I do this.
Starting point is 00:21:08 This is when I do this, right? If my goal was to go in a bodybuilding competition, I would sit back. I'd get my Google calendar out and say, okay, I'm going to lift right here. I'm going to lift right here. I'm going to run right here. My physical, my cardio, like I would map out all my calendar when everything's going to happen. I plug it in and I would stick to those routines like clockwork.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I wouldn't deviate from them, right? You create those routines just like football players. Like they got practice, got early morning practice, they got weights, they got cardio, they got their drills. Like they build out habits and routines that happen habitually. That's why it's called a habit. It happens habitually every single day. They do this thing and they do this thing and they do this thing and they do this thing. Okay. Same thing for you. It's like, I know the goal, I've got the path. Now I got to build out the routines that force me to stay on this path, right? They're going to keep me moving forward to this place I need to go. So what are the habits and routines you got to create in your life? Okay. For a lot of you guys can be waking up a little bit earlier or stay up a little bit later
Starting point is 00:21:54 or taking your lunch break and not actually eating lunch, but working. Okay. It's amazing. Allison and I were talking about this yesterday. Like most people take an hour long lunch breaks. Like, do you realize that as you're typing, you can eat at the same time and keep typing and then put it down and you don't actually need the hour break. Okay. Take that hour and do the, like while you're eating and do the thing, like whatever it is, like weaving these things into your schedule. This is where you're going to get radically imbalanced where normally you'd be watching TV or normally be sleeping in or when we use something, it's like, I'm going to get radically imbalanced for a season. Okay. I'll be able to sleep in again after I hit my two column club award, after I hit my goal,
Starting point is 00:22:23 whatever that thing is, but for a season I'm going to be imbalanced, right? And come in'll be able to sleep in again after I hit my two-concord board, after I hit my goal, whatever that thing is. But for a season, I'm gonna be in balance, right? And come in and be able to plug in those habits and routines. And I wish I could go for hours on this because this is fascinating, but that's the next piece is habits and routines, okay? All right, so that's the first step here is really figuring out what is success for you. What's your Hall of Fame goal?
Starting point is 00:22:39 What's your Super Bowl goal? Who's your guide that's got the plan? What is that plan? Looking at here's step one, two, so you know exactly where you're going and then building out the habits, routines to keep you on that path to get you there. All right, so that was just part one.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Next week we'll release part number two. Before you go, I'm actually setting up a Secrets of Success funnel hub and newsletter and a whole bunch of cool things. And so I have a new Instagram account, just focus on success. And so if have a new Instagram account, just focus on success.
