About Jonathan Budd
Well, I have discovered who I am... and thus realized what I am truly capable of life. Now, I want to share that with others. By learning from me... you will GROW as both a human being and an entrepreneur... and will step into shoes that are capable of going ANYWHERE in life. You'll see that more soon... :)
Thanks Jonathan for this inspiring video. What you say is so simple but so true (and often forgotten, especially when we trick ourselves on what’s really good for us). Thanks again !
I must be truthful towards you Jonathan, I was playing this video on my PC whilst I was making a cup of coffee and as soon as you started talking about discipline I ran back to watch in detail.
I suffer badly with self discipline, I can easily admit to being a “SUCKY Performer”
I would love to be involved, anything to help become a more disciplined individual.
Being a sucky perfomer is a main problem for most of us and for that reason so many people fail on the network marketing industry or on the internet marketing niche. You’re so right Jonathan that if we want to achieve great things, we must stop with being sucky. Thanks for reminding this
Excellent post JB! I have also learned this year that personal development and discipline highly effect performance. Both High performance time and recharging time is essential. Athletes do it, and so should everyone else.
Last night I made some kind of arrangement to set up my computer in my bed, so be able to listen and enjoy your video before going to sleep. Such a great day to end the day.
You are really telling it like it is. It almost hurts.
Keep it up. We need to hear those things. It´s terribly easy to “imagine” that you´re doing the work that it takes.
Personally, I´m caught in the middle somewhere, since I don´t want to make a huge career (since I´m 60 and want to slow down) but still create a good income for myself and make sure I can enjoy a good retirement.
I want to be successful but I´m not aiming for the internet to take over my life.
I´m asking myself what success is? And how I can settle for a degree of “success” that I´m happy with and that will give me what I want?
Well, I truly enjoy your energy and your straight forwardness!! It takes courage, and I admire that!
That was surely a needed dose of reality. If you want to know why 97% of network marketers fail, then watch your video. To succeed in any business, It takes grit, drive, and the willing to push on when your mind and emotions are in turmoil. The majority of people like being comfortable way too much in order to be successful. That is essentially the problem with America as a whole. We would rather blame the government for our problems rather than gutting it out in doing what’s necessary; that is getting ourselves in gear to accomplish something worth talking about.
Thanks for your honesty, Jonathan. Particularly in that last part about success being difficult, and requiring a tremendous amount of discipline. I also found your points on the contrast between productivity and rejuvenation to be very interesting. It made me think about concentration versus meditation, which seem to often get confused.
Great Video! I actually caught myself doing those bad habits man, and I thought to myself, “dude, if I want to become successful like JBudd, I got to live, eat, and breath my business.”
Totally true about avoiding growth, avoiding the “hard things”, sometimes we already know what we need to do to get to the next level and we just keep putting it off. That might just be the ultimate frustration.
Another point is that while new ideas and creation are good, we can also get into the trap of always creating new things. Sometimes we need to put a hold on the new projects and finish projects that we’ve already started as there is always room for improvement and we can ask ourselves for example:
Does this activity build and increase traffic?
Are my systems optimized to receive the maximum benefit from that traffic?
Am I currently doing all that I can with my current traffic, subscribers and buyers?
In many cases we’ll find that we’re already half way into the gold mine and just have to keep on going on a bit harder rather than starting over.
This is AMAZING….I’m so glad I found your site. I’ve been going through and watching your videos. Was inspired by the interview you gave over at Network Marketing Pro. x
My name is Leysan Shagalieva. I live in Russia and have been working in the field of network marketing via the Internet for 3 years. My blog http://mlm-leysan.ru.
I am currently writing a book on the subject of MLM business in the Internet.
I am familiar with your blog, subscribed to your newsletter, I have many times told the Russian-speaking audience about your successes. That’s the reason why I would like to take an interview with you, and place it in my book.
This will be a great PR, as you will act as an expert, a guru, I will place a link to your blog, newsletter. Your advices will be useful to the networkers all over the world, and if you like to answer my questions, I will be happy.
Here are the questions, you can send the answers in a text format to leysanrich@gmail.com.
1. Tell us your story, what was the starting point of your business in the Internet? The story of your success.
2. Many people wonder whether it is in fact possible to build up an MLM business in the Internet. Can youbuild large structures? Or is it a myth?
3. What mistakes have you done in your online business? What shouldn’t you do?
4. How to start an MLM business in the Internet, what are the first steps?
5. Which company is suitable for MLM in the Internet? Which product is best sold? Because when you build abusiness around the world, problems with logistics, payments of fees emerge. What to choose? BAA, trips,online tools, cosmetics?
6. Tell us about your system – how do you work with your team? After signing a person, how do you build the relationship, work, business? Your brand brings a lot of partners to the first line, how to survive in such conditions? After all, it is physically difficult, it is a big job which can lead to fatigue.
7. Which tools to use? Blog, newsletter, pages in social networks, is it enough? What are these tools for?
8. How to become an attractive sponsor? How to build queues of people willing to become part of our team?
9. What is happening in the network marketing industry in general at the present time? Everyone is talkingabout a recession, a crisis in the industry. Please, give us your vision.
10. We will be glad, if you reveal the secrets of creating large databases of subscribers to your newsletter, atleast 3 of the best ways.
You blew my mind again, buddy. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
The matter of fact for me is, the more discipline, positive rituals and mechanical daily repetition of high leverage activities I impose on myself, the happier I feel.
I have cheat sheets and check lists of what I do for almost every minute of the day. When I wake up. What I do right after I got out of bed. How I wash my face. When and how exactly I meditate. When I go to the gym. What and when I eat. What I work on first thing in the morning. When I run daily team meetings. How do I follow up with customers and prospects. So on, so forth.
What TV? What movies? What games? You gotta be kidding
You might think it’s a nightmarish life but the more I do it, the happier I feel and the more good stuff happens to me.
I have a mantra that I am a warrior-monk and my life is a life of discipline (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual), devotion (to my vision) and sacrifice (of the easy ways you mentioned).
This make so much sense you need to focus on the money making activities, otherwise you’re just spending time loosing money. I like your idea of rejuvenating life or recharging batteries. We need to figure out how to get rid of those time wasting activities.
Thanks JB! This is a week when I need to be productive beyond belief! It’s also a week where people will be trying to connect with me. This message couldn’t have come at a better time! This is only one of two videos I’m taking a break to watch! lol As always, sending you great love!
Awesome. This video confirms a clear message I received from the Universe last week to eliminate all BS and distractions from my inner circle …and to only focus on my vision and passion. Thank you for sharing! ♥
AWESOME. This video confirms a message I received from the Universe a week ago to eliminate all BS out of my circle and to put steadfast focus on my vision and passion. ♥
Great post. I myself have been guilty of low performance a time or two. However, we all know the people who give themselves a big kick in the butt when needed and get back into ACTION are the ones who will succeed. Your posts always inspire me.
Hello Jonathan, what you stated was very informative, especially regarding creating in order to create wealth. My question is how do you create the modules that carry your lessons. Your lessons are very professional and well done, are these tools that you have created for yourself? I appreciate your lessons they are helpful and inspiring. Thank you, Naola
Just watched the video and it helped me identify that I need to change my brain to think more like you and my take away was my work ethic needs improvement and changing my brain to focus on the hard stuff first and stop allowing myself the easy stuff. Jonathan can you make more videos on what you been up to the last 6 months on apps?
Whoaw you are so very inspiring bro~thanks a lot! I really appreciate your concern for other people, the world, your spirituality in general~ You’re definately a huge main chunk of what made my life and business related to my life just beyond all that I thought was amazing yet! Phew~ I’m tripply blown away~keep being Awesome from the Heart, Jonathan- that’s the true way to being grand and inspirational in spirit! Way to Go!! I’m really totally excited about all of the things you have to offer, teach~and life itself in sooo many many new ways~and it keeps getting far more awesome by each single step~opening new doors to new grander possibilities all of the time! Whoaah! ! Thank you bro~really~I love my life with an amazing passion!
J.B !!!! I’m eagerly looking forward to when you will get your arm freed. …. Well Amongst other things. And Of Course – Its true Being Busy & Being Productive is often confused as being productive. An Eye Opener. Great Content. Thanx Again.
I have purchased some of your products in the past and some of them are in my new website. Please take a moment to tell me what you think or any suggestions. Thanks, James
Powerful beyond measure…totally opposite of what we are taught and drawn to or massaged with daily. I have sucked big time and am in a hole because I have been doing exactly what you have described. I even have your program which I have under utilized. Today I make a new commitment to my success and the giving of myself to the world
I waste a lot of time at the moment, that needs to stop.
Thanks for reminding me.
In life nowadays there’s so many distractions that focusing in itself can be hard work, but necessary for success in business, life and your relationships.
I love you, Jonathan! You are such an inspiration to me. You lift me up and keep me on track and also make me laugh. So insightful… Work ethic, peak performance, staying focused on money-making activities, but also taking time to rejuvenate and recharge… Excellent reminders. Thank you for all you do. (^L^)
Thanks for another inspiring video! Take time for rejuvenation because in the long run, it will help you make money if you are putting in 100%. Everything begins with thought. I’m sure your surgery will result in great comfort when it is all over.
I definitely had an “AHA MOMENT” on this one. When working be only doing the things that are Massively Productive and when I’m not working be only doing th things that are ReCharging me!
That is so powerful because a lot of times we can definitely Trick ourselves and mistake being Busy with Being Productive! Thanks for sharing!
Complacancy is the silent killer that gets so many people. We love to look around at others and let them be our standard. If we want to be above average we must develop that awesome mental state mentioned in the video,
Awesome video!
Thanks,
steve
High performance is something that I’ve been learning quite a bit about as well. Brendon Burchard’s book The Charge has helped quite a bit with learning how to get “in the zone” more.
However, you are absolutely right with choosing to live your life and do things 100% productively while you are “working”, and focus on activities that are rejuvenating when you are not working.
I’ve got to focus more time on the rejuvenating activities and do more things that get me re-inspired.
OMG This was what I needed Totally motivated me. I have been kinda a sucky performer lately and giving myself the excuse that it’s summer it’s okay to chill out and sit a little bit longer on Facebook, play a video game etc. But god I want results and I want them big and I wont get them by playing games that are just a pure distraction.
Thanks for the stand you are in the world. I appreciate your willingness to share your insights and to provide us with what “works”.I also thank you for your commitment to Pachamama!
Being a low performer is like going in and doing something half-hearted. I think many people do this (as you said) and of course, doing something with half the heart, half the effort and half the committment will NOT get you the FULL level of results you are after. Your work ethic makes all the difference in getting average results and extraordinary results. Also, it comes down to analysing and seeing which activities are actually helping in making money.
Also, that is so true what you said about avoiding the hard and going to the easy. I have experienced in the past and it isn’t a good thing lol.
Great advice. However, this is not something new to a lot of people…I think most people know they have to work hard and have to get the necessary things done! It’s whether they have the true will power to go and do it.
This is definitely a good reminder for everyone because we all fall short sometimes and we want the easy route.

Awesome video.
Anything worth accomplishing has obstacles to be overcome, because if it was easy everyone would do it and the value would be lost.
Great advice Jonathan, we have all been guilty of these low performer rules at some time or another but with this advice we can’t go wrong. Thanks !!

Thanks for your great post Jonathan. Great reminder to observe what you are doing, it is so easy to deviate & start doing the easy stuff.
It is a form of procrastination
Just watched the video and it helped me identify that I need to change my brain to think more like you and my take away was my work ethic needs improvement and changing my brain to focus on the hard stuff first and stop allowing myself the easy stuff.
