#12: The psychological factor that makes success inevitable
Benji Bruce Podcast
definition: the impetus(force) gained by a moving object Problem: Most people don’t get things done or start/stop Story: Living with a friend & schedule days to prospect. Got momentum, then stopped. Hard to get back Story 2: Facebook ads were going, I had to stop to change the website & didn’t start until two months later Made excuses about ‘creating content’ Momentum makes you an unstoppable force Makes you obsessed by generating thoughts because you have to keep up Sense of urgency You get excited and feel like you can (and should) do more ...

#11: Getting to $100k in a month
Benji Bruce Podcast
This is the email that was sent out... The first time I hit $1,000 a month, I thought it was amazing. Then $10,000 a month. Then $25,000. Then $90,000/month, etc. I looked at the $90,000 that month and thought, “Damn…for the longest time I struggled to make that in a year, and I just did it in a month.” What changed? What was the mindset that changed inside of me that allowed it to happen? Honestly…nothing. I was always a badass. Success doesn’t happen overnight, you iterate your way to it. You keep changing and adjusting until you finally get it one day. But I want to give you 4...

#10: Make Money Or Excuses
Benji Bruce Podcast
The only thing standing in your way of growing your business are the excuses you make for why you don’t have any business. I don’t know how much you’re making right now in your business, but I do know that if you’re not making at least six figures, you’re making excuses instead. You don’t have time because you have a job and you have kids. I hear you. You can’t spend money right now because you have to pay bills. I hear you. You can’t bring a video guy with you to an event. I hear you. But do you know what I hear? “Excuse,...
info_outlineYou get demotivated when your expectations don’t match reality
- get excited
- do some work for a day, or two, or a week
- You don’t see immediate results so you ‘rethink’ & ‘plan’
- You say “It’s not quantity it’s quality”
- So you slow down
- B/c you slowed down, you’re contacting less = only makes it worse
- You plan more, look at others online
- Wonder why you’re not getting results & get demotivated
- You blame the guru/person who told you to do the work
- You search for another method & get back to planning
Story: Moved into high rise & filming didn’t work
- Backlit & paid 10k for new equipment
Why do we underestimate?
- Never done it before - don’t know what to expect
- You see the end result but can’t see the work - you haven’t done it
- Experience = see into the future b/c you know the past
Story: Built the online business & underestimated how much I need to do to make sales
- They said “10k people on your email list and you can do a million dollar launch” NOPE
- I thought “create ad, send emails, sell product”…didn’t work
Build your endurance muscle
- I had no choice but to keep going b/c I didn’t have a job
- I’ve become numb to failure…
- Restaurants helped me - GMs said no…lost restaurant gigs…lost corporate gigs
- Other failures - prospecting, product launch fails, etc
Just because something didn’t work doesn’t mean it doesn’t work
- You have to get it to work for you
Doing the right things vs doing those things right are two different things
- I was emailing (doing the right thing) but I wasn’t doing it right (saying the right things in the emails)
- Are you doing the right things or not doing it right?
If you’re feeling demotivated, keep pushing
- Steve Jobs “People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you’re doing and it’s totally true. And the reason is because it’s so hard that if you don’t, any rational person would give up”
- Nothing wrong with you if you give up
- Pushing when it’s hard isn’t ‘normal’…don’t be normal
- Arnold Schwarzenegger - build muscle at the moment you want to give up
