so this is me at age 10 and i’m doing my
00:03
best
00:03
to try to clean this car so i could get
00:05
out and go play with my friends
00:09
what i’m doing right now may seem a
00:10
little bit crazy but i’m about to
00:12
realize
00:13
the number one business principle in my
00:14
entire life and like many life lessons
00:17
it all started with my dad
00:19
what on earth are you doing son
00:21
[Music]
00:22
hey my name is russell brunson and i
00:24
grew up in a small town in utah
00:25
with a mom and a dad who were really
00:27
amazing and i also had two older
00:29
sisters and two younger brothers and
00:31
that was me smack dab right in the
00:32
middle
00:33
you know i grew up in a family where uh
00:34
everyone had to work hard uh for what we
00:36
wanted
00:37
and we saw from my parents and then it
00:39
also led down to us
00:40
and every single day we’d work hard at
00:42
school we worked hard at sports we were
00:43
involved
00:44
with and then on weekends we worked hard
00:45
at home making sure that everything’s
00:46
clean and
00:47
and ready for the week oh dad just
00:50
finished
00:50
uh can i go i want to play uh street
00:52
hockey with the guys on the street
00:55
i don’t know
01:03
if you’re proud of it you’re done um let
01:06
me just check real quick i’ll come to
01:07
you later
01:14
[Music]
01:24
so this is my first introduction to the
01:26
question that i’d end up living the rest
01:28
of my life by
01:28
question is are you proud of it you know
01:30
i think my dad um
01:32
believes that if you’re putting things
01:33
out there into world if you’re not proud
01:35
of it
01:35
then what does it say about you what
01:37
does it say about how passionate you
01:38
actually are about what you’re doing
01:40
well i’m proud of it
01:46
[Music]
01:52
it’s easy to be swayed to take the easy
01:54
way out especially when you don’t see
01:55
the benefits
01:56
of what’s the end result you’re looking
01:57
for in middle school i was on the
01:59
wrestling team and they’d have us go run
02:00
with the varsity guys over in high
02:02
school
02:05
you wrestle over at the middle school
02:06
shrimpy yeah
02:08
then laps can be brutal for slowpokes
02:10
like us don’t worry though i know a
02:12
shortcut
02:12
[Music]
02:13
so at first i would kind of go cut these
02:15
corners with them i remember always
02:16
feeling just
02:17
not good about it i think that was the
02:19
second time in my life i really
02:20
understood the whole uh the concept of
02:22
are you proud of it
02:27
you want to be here all day just cut the
02:28
corners i’m good
02:30
suit yourself later in our wrestling
02:33
match i saw the toll that cutting those
02:34
corners had
02:36
he was doing fine at the start of the
02:37
match but about halfway through
02:39
he just got tired was completely out of
02:41
shape and he ended up falling hard
02:43
now i never cut another corner again
02:45
after that moment it just came back to
02:46
the exact same thing
02:47
and this principle would serve me well
02:49
into my adulthood
02:53
what’s the word when you’re you’re
02:54
trying to achieve something
02:56
but it’s like the end result of
02:58
something you want to accomplish
02:59
what is that a goal yes thank you honey
03:02
why don’t you take a break i can’t
03:04
i mean my editor has been hounding me
03:06
for this book for months and it’s just
03:07
not right yet i mean something feels
03:10
wrong
03:11
so i’ve got to keep working on it i
03:13
think it’s good
03:15
good good is the enemy
03:18
of great people deserve my best i’d gone
03:21
about 200 pages into my new book called
03:23
expert secrets
03:24
but the foundation wasn’t right and no
03:26
amount of adjusting or wording or adding
03:28
a sentence here there
03:29
was gonna fix that
03:33
[Music]
03:42
no dad i’m not proud of it i knew that i
03:45
keep fiddling with it if i didn’t do
03:46
something drastic
03:47
so i did something brave and possibly a
03:50
little bit stupid
03:51
hey guys so i know a lot of you were
03:54
looking forward to my new book
03:56
here it is but guys
03:59
this is just not it and you deserve my
04:02
best
04:02
so
04:06
i promise you guys hey i i know i’m
04:09
seeing the comments and i promise you
04:11
guys
04:12
it’s gonna be my best work but this
04:16
this was just not it
04:17
[Music]
04:22
okay i spent the next eight months
04:24
researching and writing the next edition
04:26
of the book
04:27
and you know what it was something i
04:28
could be proud of it’s funny how the
04:30
things your parents say to you when your
04:31
kid can stick with you
04:33
but whether it’s at work or with your
04:34
family i always ask myself and my kids
04:36
are you proud of it when you do your
04:38
absolute best there’s an amount of
04:40
satisfaction you get
04:41
they can never come from taking the easy
04:42
way out
04:58
[Music]
