What’s up my friends! Well guess what… I’m switching things up here today and I’m going to write a discourse on one of the most NON talked about aspects of success ever, that most often ‘Cripples’ entrepreneurs from reaching any true glory before they even start. This message is not going to be one you should ignore, or take lightly at all. In fact, if you read every single part of this today I can promise you it’s enough to change your perspective on success FOREVER.
I got the inspiration to write this post from where I get LOTS of my inspiration to create these posts… from YOU. Well, to be specific, from working with people in the field and observing all the challenges so many network marketers are facing in their businesses.
This one today is a bit different though…
Because what I intend to do here today is more or less DESTROY the useless part of your mind that continues to make excuses for why it can’t do things.
I intend to DESTROY that useless part of your mind that ‘Expects’ the world to work the way it wants, that COWARDS at the fact of facing the unknown, and constantly DOUBTS it’s own power any chance it gets.
So how am I going to do that? Well, in 2 parts actually. First I’m going to talk about a foundational aspect of success on the Internet that you absolutely NEED and simply must understand. Then I’m going to teach you why most people fail to ever get it going, and help destroy the part of you that is responsible for that.
So what is this foundation I’m speaking of? To put it simply, It’s…
“Setting Up Shop” — (In the form of your internet real estate.)
To demonstrate this more clearly, I’m going to share an analogy My good friend Mark Hoverson actually used the other night and I found it to work quite well. Basically what it means is this…
Even though we don’t quite see it that way a network marketer is basically like a mobile ‘Store’ for their company’s products. Except in this industry… you open up the doors to your house and invite guests in to buy stuff. Or, you get people on calls and ‘Buying At The Store’ happens over the telephone waves. Whatever way you look at it… its important to see yourself as a STORE. Or a place where prospective customers can ‘BUY STUFF’ that will benefit their lives and make you money.
Now, when you come on the Internet… how does this analogy apply? Well… it’s actually very simple.
On the Internet, your lead capture page is the door to your STORE. A Lead Capture page is a website you create that allows a prospect to enter their contact information and be added into your autoresponder list. So what is the actual Store? And this is what the vast majority of marketers completely miss…
The actual Store is in the RELATIONSHIP you build with your prospects once they get on your Autoresponder list. (from here on out I’ll just call it your “list”.) This is where all the “Business” is actually going down. It can happen through emails, it can happen through videos, it can happen through calls or webinars, there are a million different ways it can happen and none of them am I going to be teaching today.
The point you need to get from this analogy is that by opening up your STORE on the Internet, you are potentially putting yourself on the most heavily trafficked highway in the world. And not only that… but you EVEN have the power to ‘Customize’ who drives by, and even MORE SO… who actually enters your store. It’s absolutely insane, and understanding these principles has made me millions of dollars by the time I’m 25.
However, I’m not going to teach you ANY of that stuff today. This is not the time for you to learn about the mechanics of making endless money on the Internet, and expanding your business beyond anything you’ve previously thought possible.
But this IS the time for you to learn Why so many people basically hang a ‘Going Out Of Business’ sign on the front of their store before they even open the damn thing up. (Can you imagine how strange that would look if you saw a new store being built on your street then halfway through construction they hung up a sign that said Going Out Of Business?)
Well, I’m going to explain this phenomenon right now. I’m basing this knowledge off working closely, being in intimate groups, and coaching over 1,167 HIGH PAYING coaching clients over the last 3 years of my life. And just to put that in perspective… that’s NOT a small number. Imagine how many people 1,167 is right now… and that’s how many people I’ve gotten the chance to work with and really OBSERVE on an intimate level over the last few years.
So here’s what I found… (listen up, cause its extremely likely this is YOU right now, and this is a multi faceted answer)
The vast majority of people are self sabatoging themselves from moving forward in life… out of the SHEER FEAR they have of the Unknown. (and I’m going to explain why)
Out of the SHEER amount of useless, negative, garbage they have allowed to build up in their lives… that literally CRIPPLES them from taking the most simple action steps one MUST TAKE if they want to create tangible results.
They are SO AFRAID to take action… they will do ANYTHING to avoid actually ‘MEETING’ success (or failure) in the face. They will spend all their time on facebook, or youtube, buy course after course so they can constantly be in the ‘Comfort’ of information (yet not implementing what they are learning), They’ll attend meeting after meeting… you can basically NAME IT, And they are doing everything OTHER THEN what they need to be.
In essence, they are running from what is hard in their life, their fears, their doubts, the insecurities they have about success, and the DIFFICULTY of stretching themselves, learning new things, and walking out on the PLANK that is success as if it were the plague.
And here’s why I’m writing this today…
Because I want it to stop once and for all. I want to deliver the message that very well may just GRAB YOU BY YOUR FRIGGIN HAIR, and shake the absolute crap out of you.
I want to turn a MIRROR up to your face, so you can look deep into it, and FACE the beast that is preventing you from your greatness.
I want you to face the beast that skews your vision, that floods you with falseness, and pulls at you each time you move in a forward direction.
That beast is ‘Fear’ of the unknown, it’s FEAR of feeling bad about yourself, it’s a WEAKER will to succeed than your will to stay the SAME.
And you need to read that last line over again my friends…
Because the Sad Truth about the people who take no action in this industry, and never live up to the wisdom, knowledge, and potential they have inside… is that their minds are more afraid to challenge themselves, more afraid to fail, more afraid to actually CHANGE who they are…
Then they are motivated to actually GO after their goals in life, their dreams in life, and experience what true freedom looks like.
And that to me… can not continue any longer. Not only is it hurting people’s success, people’s freedom, and the prosperity of our planet…
But it’s literally DESTROYING some of the most beautiful gifts our world has ever seen. You see, when you aren’t willing to face the BEASTS inside of your, the beasts of fear and doubt, the beasts of LAZINESS, and the beast of uncertainty… then you are most CERTAINLY never going to discover the true gifts you have to give to other people.
You are most CERTAINLY never going to discover your DEEPEST reason for being on this planet right now. You’re not going to discover the Godly gifts, messages, and pure GOOD that you are meant to give to everyone you come in contact with.
No no my friends, instead… those things will stay locked up inside of you hidden in a secret cave. And there they will stay until you Discover the key…
THE KEY my friends… the KEY.
And what is that key you might ask, well, let me share it with you.
The key is found right here and NOW my friends. The key is found by grounding yourself in the NOW, and stopping the incessant living in the future and past. The true key to success in life is in FACING each moment of your life with total presentness, total awakeness, total clarity… and total COURAGE.
When you do this… you systematically discover what it is that is blocking you from greatness, and then you CHARG THROUGH that obstacle with the unstoppable force of your spirit.
The key to success in life is making TRUTH your highest objective. (in this instance truth is really DISCOVERING who you are, and seeing yourself as the great, majestic, capable being that you are.) It’s in making TRUTH your prized possession… and you will stop at NOTHING to get it. Whatever that means.
You see, most people spend their lives AVOIDING the truth. They run from problems they have. They run from past experiences they’ve had. They run from pain, they run from people, they run from unpleasant situations or emotions…
For most people… life is literally a constant cycle of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. They are trapped in this cycle, thinking that is how happiness is found. “If I can just avoid pain as much as possible, and seek to be pleased all the time, then I can externally control how happy I am.” (what a pity for it is most certainly a deception that convinces many…) Yet This is the subconsious belief that operates.
However, as we all know… It’s a fruitless mission. In fact, an impossible one at that. For there is no ‘Avoiding Pain’ forever. And there is no state of pleasure you can Constantly be in. The truth is… both of those are extremely Temporary, transient, and fleeting.
And because so many of us spend our time stuck in between them both, we MISS the fact that the true power in life, the true success in life, is actually OUTSIDE of this cycle. It’s actually in BREAKING FREE from pleasure, breaking FREE from pain.
True freedom and true power is finding contentment from WITHIN, first and foremost. It’s in finding out how powerful you are INHERENTLY.
It’s in discovering the true nature of your BEING. This magical, infinite creature… born from the cosmic dust of infinity itself.
Now that my friends… is Power. That my friends… is an empowered, awakened, perspective… that will ‘JOLT’ you out of any slumber and give you the power to overcome any obstacle, to face any challenge, and to MEET LIFE dead on… without turning to run at all.
This is what people who hang the ‘Going Out Of Business’ sign on their door before they even opened the store don’t see about themselves. The people who hang that sign unfortunately are still stuck in the dream world of being a small, limited, and even a poor creature… that just isn’t good enough to create success. So, rather then TRY… Rather then venture out COMPLETELY in the unknown… they just quit before they start.
DO YOU WANT TO STOP THIS CYCLE ONE AND FOR ALL MY FRIENDS?
Has anyone out there experienced this? Has anyone out there ever felt like they couldn’t do it? Has anyone out there ever doubted themselves?
**More Secrets Being Divulged Time**
Well guess what… so did I. Yup, the 25 year old guru kid who friggin made all this stuff happen in record times doubted the crap out of himself too. You want to know why?
Because it is in the nature of the LIMITED USELESS MIND to doubt itself. It is in the NATURE of insecurity to doubt itself. It is in the NATURE of our pre programmed societal conditioning to think we CAN’T do it. Seriously… almost all of us have been programmed with emotional TRASH for as long as we’ve lived… that has taught us in subtle ways we aren’t loved or good enough. Whether it was negative, doubtful parents or loved ones, ignorant teachers at school, bad energy all around us, or whatever… I can guarantee there is a VALID reason ‘conditioning’ exists.
The secret is to not judge your conditioning, and to not BELIEVE that your conditioning is YOU. (hint hint, this is major)
The secret is in SEEING your conditioning as exactly that… CONDITIONING!!!!! That’s all it friggin is!!! It’s a bunch of useless crap conditioning. It is NOT YOU.
So the next time you feel doubt arise, or insecurity arise, or anything limiting what so ever arise… there are two things you can do right now to overcome it FOREVER. (would you like to overcome conditioning forever? Well then today’s your lucky day…)
1. You see it as NOT YOU. You look at it objectively, and you just observe… “Oh, there is my conditioning again. There is all that false stuff that has been programmed inside of me, that limits the true infinite creativity and majesticness that I am from expressing itself”
Please, just say that to yourself the next time you feel insecurity or conditioning arise.
2. ** THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP**
Just following step #1 is not enough to overcome the obstacles, break through, and completely RE PROGRAM your the conditioning you’ve always had. There is a 2nd part to this equation that actually makes it happen, and you’ve heard it before my friends.
YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST DO THAT WHICH YOU ARE AFRAID TO DO.
In other words… if you are paralyzed from taking action… then the ONLY DAMN THING that is going to help you be more successful is taking action.
It’s that simple. You utterly HAVE TO DO whatever you’re afraid to do or you will be a failure for the rest of your life. You will seriously NEVER progress, you will NEVER grow, and you will NEVER be successful because you ran from the very damn thing the universe put in front of you as your OBSTACLE, as your CHALLENGE, to test what you’re really made of.
Are you really that much of a wimp my friends? I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT CRAP. I simply refuse it.
There is NOTHING that you can not face. Are you kidding me…this stuff is a JOKE.
If getting on the phone and calling a cold lead is enough to stop you from success… then you don’t deserve it.
If being terrified of making a video, or writing an online article, or interacting in forums, or ANY of the other things you can do online to start generating exposure for your business is ENOUGH to stop you from success… then you do not deserve it. It’s that simple. You are acting like a coward… and you deserve Whatever life you are living.
Does it sound harsh? Maybe.
Is it the truth, ABSOLUTELY.
And one thing about me is… I don’t care WHAT the truth sounds like I will say it. I’m not into making people feel good, or ’sugar coating’ life, I’m into the TRUTH. That is it. I’m into the REAL DEAL… and I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart when I say…
“YOU DESERVE THE LIFE YOU’RE LIVING, IF YOU’RE TOO AFRAID TO CHANGE IT.”
The point of this post my friends is to get you to take action. It’s to wake you from your slumber and get you to try new things you have never tried before. It’s to get you on the basketball court, possibly for the first time, so you can start learning how to play the game.
I don’t want you sitting in the stands your whole life… but guess what, unless you get on the court you are NEVER going to play in the game. Most people have this ludicrous notion they are somehow going to get to play in the game just by sitting in the stands and watching their whole life.
YOU WANT TO PLAY IN THE GAME?
Then get off your ass and go build a website. GO make that damn video you are terrified to make. Go buy the damn course you know you need. Go call that prospect you have been avoiding like the plague.
GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND INTO THE GAME.
It’s that simple. You know, sometimes it amazes me when I see people in the back of our ‘7 Figure Networker System’ which is basically this PUSH BUTTON system for creating an online store.
It’s got the lead capture pages, its got all the training you could ever want, it shows you how to set up your autoresponder, build a list, and do ALL the physical things it takes for success…
Yet I hear people every day complaining its to hard. Complaining they don’t get it… and honestly… I want to smack them. I’m just being honest here but I literally want to smack them. (cause they act like its not them, or this stuff is impossible. Ha, what a joke…)
HOW UNREALISTIC ARE OUR EXPECTATIONS OF SUCCESS SOMETIMES?
Do you seriously think someone is going to walk up to you with 10,000 fresh opt in leads they just got from google and say… “Here’s your list! Have fun… I’ve been priming them for the last 12 months, they’re ready to become a 50,000+ person organization!”
Are we that feeble where someone can hand us the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM and we complain because we have to walk through the door?
I’m on a rant right now my friends and I’m not going to stop till I’m done… LISTEN CLOSELY…
“IF YOU ARE EVEN WORTH YOUR SALT IN THIS INDUSTRY… THEN YOU WILL FIGURE OUT ANY RIDICULOUS TECHNICAL QUESTION like setting up a lead capture page, or an autoresponder, or any other stuff like that which CLEARLY the answers exist and are right in front of you.”
Does that mean it won’t be hard? It very well might be.
Does it mean you have to learn a new skill? Yes it does.
Does it mean it you’re going to work and have to venture into unknown territory to go after your goals in life? Absolutely.
And what the point of my message is here today, if you’re not willing to do these things… then you can kiss success in life goodbye.
And you should really begin to accept a life of mediocrity, and just be at peace with wherever you are currently at. Because it’s likely it wont’ change.
Man, it’s 11:30 pm here. My hands are killing me… I wrote so much stuff I don’t even remember what I was talking about at the beginning of this post! haha, that’s a sign. It’s time for me to get some sleep.
However, before I go I will leave you with this one final gift…
It is up to YOU to discover how powerful you truly are. No one else will ever be able to discover your own being for you. No one else will ever be able to share with you YOUR GIFTS, and the amazing beauty you have within.
They might be able to point fingers at it like I do sometimes, and give hints it’s there… but no one can EVER discover it for you. This journey of life, this journey of self discovery… is no ones responsibility but your own.
And to the degree you TAKE IT ON, I mean really take it on fully… is to the degree you will LIVE LIFE. It’s the degree you will FEEL, and LIVE this thing called life. All I can say is that it’s such a ride when we get in the flow… and really stop running from anything in life at all and learn to face EVERYTHING as it comes.
Oh yea, and don’t FORGET that the key secret to overcoming blockages… is literally in DOING the exact things that you are currently avoiding, and don’t want to do the most. Success is literally contained within the MOMENT you take action, and focus your action on the areas that are most difficult for you to do.
The time you spend doing that will change your life. The time you spend taking action in areas you feel could literally KILL YOU you’re so afraid or so paralyzed… is literally the most profitable time in your life. Those are the times that will cause shifts in your growth, and shifts in your LEADERSHIP + Character like you cant even imagine. And it works the same for all of us… no matter what.
With that being said my friends… I hope you enjoyed today’s discourse, and I’m outa here!
Here’s to you overcoming ANYTHING,
Jonathan Budd

P.P.S. Want to share this with your friends? You can do so below…


Thank you for sharing ‘on the other side’ of success - fear and doubt. You have hit the epicenter. I am slow and fearful and unsure and doubtful, but with little successes gives me more confidence (how tiny those successes to others are really huge to me). Thank you sooooo much for sharing.
Diane Garhart
J,
Wifey and I were so thrilled with your webinar last night (2/16) that we signed up for your awesome 10-week program. Little prob, though, because we lost contact with program right after we paid and now we can’t seem to get back into it. Please help us. Thanks
Ta,
M
JB is excellent coach/motivator…I just wish we could know which MLM he belongs to…thats the one I want in on….my sense is he is like the old hardware stores out west during the gold rush….making their gold by supplying the shovels and tools, not prospecting for gold nuggets…does anyone know which program he is in?
Hey Mike,
I built two very large organizations on the Internet my friend… both of which I went passive in to dedicate myself full time to teaching.
I was one of the top distributors in a company called Global resorts Network.
That was a lot of fun.
Then I went and built a company called “GeneWize” and we put 2400 people in in under 5 months. The downline is currently 4k+ and
I’ve been passive for almost 18 months so I could focus exclusively on helping other people really MASTER this game no matter what
company they are in.
Hope this helps boss,
Jonathan
P.S. you can totally sign up with us if you want.
