The two polar opposite mindsets that will either make you, or break you. On this episode Russell talks about having belief in your own success in order to actually be successful. Here are some of the awesome things he mentions in this episode: Why you shouldn’t have the Michael Moore view of success being a freak accident. Why believing in your own success will increase the likelihood of you achieving what you’re trying to do. And why being a skeptic has a zero percent success rate. So listen here to find out why if there is one, there could be two and you could figure out how to be number two. ---Transcript--- What’s up everybody? This is Russell Brunson, welcome to the Marketing Secrets podcast. Today I’ve got a little bit of a rant for you. Hey everyone, welcome to the podcast today, I hope you are all doing amazing. Yes, today is going to be a little bit of a rant, I hope you don’t mind. I need to get something off my mind. So this morning, I was looking at Facebook, as I often do in the mornings, just making sure that everyone is happy in our community of a160,000 people, and I was scrolling through and I somebody’s post, and the post made me want to jump up and down on my phone and smash it into little pieces. So yes, that’s what happened this morning, and that’s what inspired this rant. So first I’m going to tell you the back story that will set up this, then I’ll tell you what happened in the post. So this weekend I was listening to some Dan Kennedy, in fact, I wonder if there’s a correlation of me listening to Dan Kennedy and me wanting to do rants. There might be, he’s kind of a grumpy old man. But he’s still the best, I love learning from him. Anyway, I was listening to one of his courses this weekend, which I think I mentioned yesterday. He mentioned my name on, which is pretty awesome. But earlier he was talking, in fact, it was the first ten minutes of the course, and he started talking about this principle that I think is essential, and it lays out what I want you guys to understand today, during this podcast, to help make sure you’re successful. Because if you’re not careful in all things you do, you’re going to fall down this path, because I think human nature drives us down the wrong path, and if you’re aware of it, it’s easier to protect yourself from it. Basically he was talking about, when it comes to success, there are two completely opposite mindsets. The first one he called the Michael Moore view, and so the Michael Moore, if you guys know who Michael Moore is, I’m not a huge fan. I don’t watch all his videos or movies, but I’m aware of who he is. First he talked about the Michael Moore view, so he kind of set this up earlier in the presentation of what Kennedy talked about. He said that if you look right now in America, 1 out of 160 people are millionaires. That’s the odds, which aren’t that bad. If you go to the mall, I don’t know how many people are in the all at one time, but the odds are pretty good if one out of 160 are going to be millionaires, maybe that should be me. So that’s kind of what started it. He talked about that right now in America 1 out 160 is a millionaire. So the Michael Moore view, and I wrote notes on this, to make sure I got this right. Basically the Michael Moore view is that “1 out of 160 is a freak accident. 1% uses a freak accident just like lottery commission uses winners for advertizing to convince people they can win a game that they cannot so that they do not come with pitch forks and torches and eat the rich. It’s a freak accident to which the overwhelming majority can’t make it happen, so they shouldn’t aspire to it, and the whole game is rigged.” So there’s the Michael Moore perspective. Now that’s your perspective when you’re like, “I’m going to be successful in life, but I believe that it’s a freak accident, I believe that the only people that have been successful are put up there just for marketing and advertizing, and it’s just like lottery, like spinning a dic
