00:11
hey everyone
00:11
um this is russell brunson i’m here in
00:13
our wrestling room right now with a
00:14
bunch of my kids and cousins and
00:17
friends we’ve got special guests in town
00:19
in boise today who i just got done
00:21
wrestling which was so much fun
00:22
i wanted my kids to get to know him and
00:24
hear some of his stories and stuff
00:26
for so many reasons and so i love it to
00:28
kind of begin with if you want to tell
00:30
them a little about your story
00:31
yeah great it’s pretty open-ended when
00:33
he says share your story i got a long
00:35
story
00:36
and so i’m 24 years old in 1996
00:39
my mom went in for a late ultrasound
00:41
they sat my parents down and said
00:42
something’s really wrong
00:43
and they said from the looks of it it
00:44
doesn’t look like your baby’s limbs are
00:46
being developed
00:46
looks like he’s missing his legs his arm
00:48
and his face might be messed up clearly
00:50
my face isn’t messed up right and what
00:53
they did was they classified me with
00:55
what they call hand heart syndrome
00:56
and han heart syndrome is a super rare
00:58
genetic disorder
01:00
that either leaves the babies with
01:01
undeveloped limbs or undeveloped organs
01:03
and so that means the babies are either
01:05
born with a heart that can’t beat on its
01:07
own or their stomach can’t you know
01:08
process food on its own and they later
01:10
on pass away and so they
01:12
told my parents that their baby boy has
01:13
about a 30 chance to live
01:15
and my parents made a massive promise
01:17
and that promise was that they were
01:18
going to focus on the 30
01:20
chance of me living and so i was born
01:22
and the test of my organs came back 100
01:25
healthy and the only thing that was
01:26
affected were my limbs and so
01:28
i was born in this unicorn body of no
01:29
legs in one arm and
01:31
all my organs are 100 healthy and would
01:33
you agree that there’s
01:34
always in your life there’s always
01:36
something bad that you can focus on
01:39
would you agree and would you agree that
01:41
there’s always something good that you
01:42
can focus on
01:43
and so the majority of humans and you
01:45
can agree the majority of adults always
01:47
focus on
01:47
the negative stuff and so if we can
01:50
train our brain to always focus on the
01:51
good things then we always win
01:54
[Music]
02:06
this is the accelerator and the brake so
02:09
you’re gonna
02:10
i usually push forward for um
02:12
acceleration and i pull back on brake
02:14
everything was hard you know when i was
02:15
born like everything was hard right and
02:17
so i always tell people like if you
02:18
going into business or entrepreneurship
02:20
if you have a bad relationship with
02:22
failure and rejection this is the wrong
02:24
thing for you because we’re gonna
02:25
experience it all the time right and so
02:27
the you know failure is feedback like
02:29
like don was saying the faster you fail
02:30
you tweak and you come back and you
02:32
figure out
02:33
what what can you learn from it the
02:34
majority of people though
02:36
they asked the disempowering question
02:38
why did i fail and why does this happen
02:39
to me yeah what’s wrong with me right
02:41
and like the way that our brain works is
02:42
it’s
02:43
it’s a problem solver so if you ask a
02:44
bad question you’re gonna get a bad
02:46
answer
02:46
and so i i like to ask even teach the
02:48
kids this is like what what did i learn
02:50
from this
02:50
and that way you you take a winning
02:53
lesson from it and there’s a quote by
02:54
nelson mandela that i love he says
02:56
in life i don’t lose i only win or learn
02:58
but it’s our job to program our brain to
03:00
win or learn we don’t just
03:02
always win or learn right and this is i
03:03
think we’ll tie into i know what a lot
03:04
of the conversation today is going to be
03:05
about
03:06
um so my junior year i i came in the
03:08
season i was like i was gonna be state
03:09
champ that was like my goal i was ready
03:11
um and the very first match uh i went
03:14
against a kid who took second the year
03:15
before and i was like okay
03:17
like this is my shot to prove that i’m
03:18
as good as i think i am in my head right
03:20
and i go out there and i wrestle them
03:22
and i get beat pretty
03:23
pretty good and it was just like
03:25
devastating and my good old dad was
03:26
there with the video camera films the
03:28
whole thing
03:28
and i got home that night and i just you
03:30
know just depressed i want to go high
03:31
and just
03:32
super embarrassed and um so i go to bed
03:34
that night and my dad
03:35
jumps up goes and you know puts the tape
03:37
from the camera and thing and starts
03:38
watching the match over and over like
03:40
i don’t think he slept the entire night
03:41
the next morning i woke up and getting
03:42
ready for school my dad’s like come here
03:44
like i know i know how to beat how to
03:45
beat this guy pulls me on the carpet
03:47
and he’s like show me the move and what
03:48
he did and i was just kind of annoyed at
03:49
first but he kept showing me he’s like
03:50
this is how he did and this is what he
03:51
did how his positioning wasn’t he had to
03:53
learn from it and it got better and
03:54
better and better
03:55
at learning how to do it and i didn’t
03:57
wrestle the guy again the entire season
03:58
until telestate tournament we were
04:00
it was me against him and my dad’s like
04:02
all right you’ve wrestled him
04:03
every morning and every night for the
04:05
last four months like we know how to
04:06
beat him
04:06
not only did i beat him i literally the
04:08
move that he beat me with is the move
04:09
that i beat him with so i got
04:10
so good at his moves countering my dad
04:12
by practicing with it and
04:14
beating him with that and when i learned
04:15
my dad that day was like if you lose
04:16
that’s not you lost it’s like okay we
04:18
figured out what was wrong now we can
04:19
make adjustments how do we make the
04:20
tweaks and the changes and
04:21
figure out how to win and so it’s funny
04:23
because in business now we’re same way
04:24
we launched a funnel and you can ask my
04:26
team like we launched him like it’s not
04:27
going to work this is good out there
04:28
and we start driving traffic and look at
04:29
the stats we figure out all the tweaks
04:31
and the changes to figure out how to
04:32
make it how to make it work
04:33
and that was like from wrestling
04:34
probably the biggest lesson i got was
04:35
just that of like
04:37
failing quickly and then seeing what the
04:39
problems were and then that’s where you
04:40
start making the tweaks and adjustments
04:41
and the changes
04:42
to get better and better and better over
04:43
time yeah failing forward adapting yeah
04:45
you always do that yeah and just put
04:47
yourself in there put yourself
04:49
in an environment to fail because if
04:50
you’re not there you’re not gonna learn
04:52
you’re not gonna adapt
05:04
i just want because like one thing i
05:06
think a lot of us people don’t do is
05:08
like
05:08
we dabble in things we’re like oh we’ll
05:10
try this i’m going to try this and try
05:11
this but when you decided i’m going to
05:12
be a bodybuilder it wasn’t just like
05:14
dabbling right you shifted your
05:15
environment shifted everything you’ll
05:16
talk about kind of the process there and
05:17
what you did
05:18
to be successful yeah what humans have
05:21
we all have it is shiny object syndrome
05:23
and so we try to do one thing and we’re
05:25
like oh maybe i want to try this over
05:26
here and so
05:27
when i wanted to become a bodybuilder i
05:29
was living in new jersey and
05:31
it’s very cold in new jersey most of the
05:32
time and so i moved to florida
05:35
and i wanted to become a bodybuilder and
05:36
the first thing i did was found a really
05:38
big muscle dude and i said will you
05:40
teach me how to bodybuild you look like
05:42
you know what you’re doing
05:49
and that’s what we do in business right
05:50
is if we want to do something we find
05:52
out someone who’s successful
05:53
and we model them and the reason being
05:56
is because we don’t have to reinvent the
05:57
wheel we don’t have to recreate
05:58
something we just find someone who’s
05:59
successful and we learn from them
06:01
i became why i attempted to become a
06:02
bodybuilder and when i moved to florida
06:04
i told everyone over over a million
06:07
people that followed me that before 2017
06:09
was over i was going to step
06:11
or hop on the competitive bodybuilding
06:13
stage before the year was over
06:15
and so i did a 12-week preparation and i
06:17
dedicated 12 weeks of my life to
06:19
training and health and fitness
06:21
i was 10 weeks into my prep and i went
06:22
to vegas for um
06:24
an expo i go i go in the gym and long
06:26
behold there’s
06:27
dwayne the rock johnson and he’s
06:28
surrounded by four security guards and
06:30
he’s working out i’m like oh my god it’s
06:32
the rock after about 45
06:34
minutes of lifting his security guard
06:35
comes over and taps me on my shoulder
06:37
and says you’re nick right
06:39
i said not many people look like this
06:41
i’m nick
06:42
and he goes can duane meet you i was
06:44
like dude bring him on i’ve been waiting
06:46
all this time
06:47
and so you know they they bring me over
06:49
into the corner and they bring the rock
06:50
over and the rock gets on my level or
06:52
tries his best to get on my level
06:53
and he goes dude i’m such a big fan can
06:55

06:57

07:00
dwayne’s doing the rock johnson
07:02
right fangirling i blurted out all my
07:05
goals to him i said i’m gonna be the

07:10
he said nick you’re right because people
07:12
like you and i they put us in any
07:13
industry and we adapt and overcome
07:15
after that i went back to florida and i
07:16
competed in bodybuilding against
07:18
full-bodied guys
07:19
and i took third
07:24
and i was like the first man with no
07:26
legs one arm to jump on a bodybuilding
07:27
stage and
07:29
the quote the quote that i use is over
07:31
the 24 years of my life i realize it’s
07:33

07:36
