👀HOW TO NOT GET DISTRACTED👀(AND ACTUALLY STAY FOCUSED)

👀HOW TO NOT GET DISTRACTED👀(AND ACTUALLY STAY FOCUSED)

by | How Successful People Think, How To Be More Productive, How To Stay Focused

YOU CAN’T FOCUS AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU THINK YOU NEED A MILLION BILLION DIFFERENT THINGS TO SUCCEED WHEN THE TRUTH IS…YOU JUST NEED FOCUS

I see this time and time again. The entrepreneurs who know how to stay FOCUSED are the ones who are winning and KEEPING SUCCESS SIMPLE and the ones who don’t know HOW to focus are floundering all over the field with a hundred arrows in their backs wondering what the hell just happened.

Fortunately for those who know HOW to focus, it will be THE SKILL that’s in demand NOW and in the FUTURE because less and less people know how to do it. Here’s how to not be one of them

My mentor used to talk to my friends about me saying things like “Ben is so fucking smart but…he’s just trying to do like 16 different things at once. He could be at 7 figures a month but nooooooo he has to make it hard and try 16 things at once. He’ll understand one day.”

At the time I was looking through the lens of “Oh look at me! I’m running a fancy fancy DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO! Average millionaire with their 7 streams of income and whatnot. La-de-da!”

The TRUTH?

Like TWO of those things were making REAL money and the rest were a distraction.

My mentor knew it.

I knew it deep down…but didn’t want to admit defeat!

When I finally GAVE IN (took a $10,000 per head personal development retreat to get me to finally SNAP) I surrendered to the fact that I was trying to do a million different things and I did the hardest thing for ANY entrepreneur to do:

I chose to focus on ONE thing.

(Ever read the book? It’s a trip.)

I dedicated 100% to my Bliss & Business brand, getting my product line and funnels dialed in and once I started focusing exclusively on that…my mentor showed me how to take it to a level I wasn’t even thinking about that would skyrocket my success DRASTICALLY!

“You have like $10,000 worth of digital products dude. You need a CALL FLOOR.”

Whoa.

Uncomfortable.

Responsibilitiesssssss!

That would take me to a completely new level in my success while also demanding my focus more than anything else ever had in my entire LIFE!

And what I noticed INSTANTLY:

If you can REALLY see just how much work is involved to not only get ONE brand off the ground…but keep it rocking and rolling for years on end…you’ll shudder at the fact that you EVER tried to run more than one thing.

The universe will give you TESTS to see just how focused you’ll BE when it comes to achieving your goals, and then when you pass the small tests she’ll quickly give you much BIGGER and SCARIER tests to see if you’re actually dedicated or not.

Those bigger and scarier tests have so much more responsibility…so much more “UNKNOWN” energy lingering about them that makes us uncomfortable…but those are the tests where if you look hard enough past all the fear…you’ll see how they can change your life FOREVER if you pass them.

But they require FOCUS!

Maybe a level of focus you haven’t been able to attain for yourself yet.

I just had a little while the other day where I was sitting in bed looking at the ceiling and tripping out (in a good way) because I realized how much I’d changed when it comes to my OWN focus.

I used to be the dude that was in like every MLM out there just because “OMG it’s sooooo hot right now!!!”

Recently, a GIANT opportunity was presented to me by one of the biggest leaders in the industry. A dude doing like 6-figures a DAY. He instantly offered me a 50/50 partnership to tackle the opportunity with him…

…AND THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT EVEN TURNED MY HEAD IN MONTHS!

(I said no…if you were wondering how the story ended!)

So what CHANGED?

How did I go from being in every opportunity under the sun…

…to saying “Sorry Mr. 8-Figure earner…I can’t partner with you 50/50 on this extremely lucrative venture because I’ve gotta keep the main thing the main thing.”

The key for me was: SURRENDER.

I surrendered to focus.

You see…I’d listened to my mentor in all kinds of different areas…but not this one.

Not the “Get Focused!” one.

I was afraid.

Recently I learned that fear is more of a compass for us…and what we’re feeling fear towards is pretty much ALWAYS the same exact direction that the MAGIC is in.

So I felt fear towards focusing on ONE thing…a TON of fear.

Meaning my compass was trying to point me towards THAT more than ANYTHING.

And on top of that…you hear focus Focus FOCUS all the time from successful people.

My mentor was telling me to do it constantly.

There was that whole Warren Buffet and Bill Gates dinner or whatever where someone asked them one word responsible for all their success and they both wrote down FOCUS at the exact same time.

And if you REALLY look at the greats in the industry and just see what they’ve BUILT…you can tell that a CRAZY amount of focus went into it that the average marketer just doesn’t have.

And so I surrendered.

I made the main thing the main thing.

Bliss & Business, and producing the best products in the industry in their selective spaces.

And because I focused in on that, I now had my mentor throw me a bone and show me my next steps and how to put a sales floor together with the target to crush $1M THIS YEAR, which would be a first for me.

“You can break $1M this year if you focus on YOUR thing. But you ain’t gonna break it trying to focus on your thing and that other stuff out there. And you know that.”

His words he just spoke to me at a friend’s birthday party we were at after I told him I was considering turning down the deal the other big marketer guy had offered me, which I did as soon as I got back home.

So my question to YOU my friend…

…in all the skills you’re going to dedicate to learning over your business career…

…will FOCUS not be NUMBER ONE on the list?

Or did you magically find something that’s more IMPORTANT than focus…that your mind MADE UP so it can justify you spinning your wheels like you have been for longer than you care to admit?

Will this year be the year that you SURRENDER to focus in the same way we’ve all surrendered to things like “Okay successful people read books, dammit I’ll read books!”?

Or will you enter 2020 frazzled, with no BIG new results, just more of a shell of yourself than you were when you entered 2019?

Maybe THEN you’ll understand that focus was the BIGGIE you were missing?

Or will you fast-track all that and just get focused RIGHT NOW so you can slay the year and enter 2020 with an EMPIRE built like nothing you even knew you were capable of before?

Because you have a choice.

You ALWAYS have a choice.

That opportunity you just joined…why the hell weren’t you ALREADY so focused on something that you couldn’t say yes to something new?

That SECOND opportunity you added to the first…what…got bored with climbing to $100,000 per month in the current opportunity so wanted to add a second one on to make yourself feel better?

Oh you started to see the workload that’s involved with your current project so you “Peeked over the fence” and saw that “Things might be more fun OVER THERE!” when in fact “Over There” has a workload equally as large that just doesn’t LOOK as large because right now you’re looking at it like a bored husband looks at a potential mistress?

Plant your fucking roots my friend.

Most people haven’t planted ANY.

And then when they reach out to me about why they’re not succeeding, I can always see it A MILE AWAY why they’re not…and it usually boils down to them not being able to focus at all, or being focused totally on the wrong thing.

Don’t fall for the trap my friend.

In a world where nobodyyyyyyy is focused, you simply being focused above the average person will set you apart like nothing else and get you results the average person could only dream of.

You owe it to the marketplace to be focused.

And most importantly…you owe it to YOURSELF.

Let a future version of you look back on this day and THANK YOU for throwing out all the junk and dedicating to STAYING FOCUSED in a world where focus is now more in demand than ever.

It’s only the most important thing you could ever do 😉

P.S. If you’d like help not only GETTING focused but STAYING focused…one biggie to watch out for is the INTERNAL “Productivity Blocks” that are WITHIN us, holding us back…and to also watch out for the EXTERNAL “Productivity Blocks” that are AROUND us, holding us back.

There are over a dozen different things that can rip our focus away even if we have every intention to become the most focused person EVER…and if you can’t IDENTIFY and ELIMINATE these productivity blocks, you’re done before you even get started.

Luckily, I was able to overcome these myself through YEARS of hard work, doing it wrong, investing in mentors, putting countless hours into my craft and so much more…and I’ve boiled down EVERYTHING I know about eliminating these productivity blocks into ONE course called The Productivity Plan that I put together especially for YOU.

I’d say that after you’re finished going through it, you’ll be a completely different person, but the truth is…you’ll just be a much TRUER much more REAL version of YOURSELF. You’ll find your FOCUSED self…the one that just sets a goal and goes out there and makes it happen without any BS standing in the way. The version of you who will take your New Year’s resolutions and actually turn them into a REALITY that you live day to day.

But it STARTS with identifying and eliminating those productivity BLOCKS that have been holding you back for so long. Because you can conquer one or two of them COMPLETELY and find that the others are still pulling you back into the land of self-sabotage, where nothing grows and where you rip up any results that you’d started getting in the first place.

That’s not the life you deserve, and that’s not why you got into this game of business in the first place. So let’s lock arms, destroy the blocks that are holding you back and help you SKYROCKET into the most successful, most FOCUSED version of yourself that you’ve ever met…the version of you that can create some real MAGIC in your life. It’s all on the other side of this course, and once you’re in you’ll have access to these tools FOR LIFE so if you ever start to slip off the path…you know EXACTLY where to go to get right back on it.

The journey to everything you’ve ever desired is right in front of you my friend.

Won’t you take the first step?

📝MAKE MONEY WITH FACEBOOK📝(USING JUST YOUR PROFILE)

by | How To Make Money On Facebook, How To Make Money On Social Media

HOW TO MAKE A FULL-TIME INCOME FROM YOUR FACEBOOK PROFILE BY PUTTING OUT A FEW POSTS A WEEK

Beats a J-O-B right? The sad truth is…the average person out there has no concept of what “Providing Value” is and what’s even SADDER…is that a lot of people who have been in the entrepreneurial game for YEARS don’t really know what it is either.

Oh if only they knew…and could see just how much easier their lives and businesses could be if they simply popped out a few of those posts on their Facebook profiles instead of making things so HARD. Anyway, here’s how to do it, in a nutshell:

1. BRAND YOURSELF PROPERLY

Branding goes so much deeper than just the visual identity of a brand but when I say “Branding” that’s probably the first thing that comes to your head…so let’s go with it. Your profile needs to have people’s eyes open a bit more than usual when they see it so you can snap them out of the whirlwind of the social media marketplace and grab their attention.

Make sure your cover photo either shows you or your company in a positive light, looks professional and one great thing to do is just straight up tell people EXACTLY how you can help them in your cover photo. After all, it’s like a free billboard for your business that endless amounts of people will see if you play the game right. You really gonna use that space to post a picture of your dog or something?

2. SMACK THAT “ADD FRIEND” BUTTON

Want to grow your audience? Simple. Go into Facebook groups and click “Add Friend” to everyone who has at least a few mutual friends as you. Not the shitty “Post Your Ad Here” Facebook groups. The REAL ones that are the free VALUE groups or groups of PAID CUSTOMERS who are already qualified on multiple levels to probably do business with you. Think about it.

Don’t send them a creepy message about how you’re “Connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs”. Everyone has heard that a billion times and just runs for the hills, like me with the guy I blocked two hours ago. Hit the button and don’t do anything else. If you are running your profile correctly, they will come to YOU.

3. PROVIDE VALUE AND MAKE IT CONSISTENT

There’s lots of ways to provide value on Facebook. Here’s two biggies I’m focused on…I’ll give you a hint…I’m doing one of them right now. I’m typing a long-ass post that has ACTIONABLE value in it you can go implement and get results right meow and it’s certainly a hell of a lot more interesting than Bobby Bobson’s post about what the fuck he ate for breakfast on Tuesday.

Because I’m writing a long-ass value post, I will also certainly take this post and put it on my blog and now BOOM, two birds get stoned at once, I’m all of the sudden creating content for MULTIPLE platforms in one go. On the blog it’s just a valuable post…but to the marketplace on Facebook it’s something more because in the scheme of things…not a lot of people will do the longer value-filled posts. Do them and you’ll stand out and you can also use them for blog posts, etc. etc.

Video too. You guys know I’m a proponent of video if you’ve followed me for any length of time. Here’s what I do: I use a fancy fancy camera setup to shoot a video I’m going to rank on YouTube for a certain keyword my audience is searching for. While I’m shooting that video, I’m live streaming me shooting it on Facebook (and Instagram as well…with two phones #KevinGates). Boom, I just did two livestreams while creating content for YouTube that’s not even edited and finalized yet. When the video is edited, it gets ranked on YouTube and gets traffic from there. Guess what? I also take the exact same edited video and post it on Facebook as a FB video so people can see the finalized version. Boom. You can create content for the rest of your life with just those two formats I mentioned and you’ll do just fine.

BUT BEN…WHAT DO I CREATE CONTENT ABOUT?

Why on earth are you asking ME? You didn’t take the time to learn your marketplace and know their deepest pain points, fears and desires to the point where you can just psychically predict what they are going to be needing to fix all of that and to hit their goals?

What’s the biggest problem your audience facing? What smaller “Orbiting Problems” exist BECAUSE that main problem is in their lives? Where do they hang out online and bitch about it and seek support? What books do they read to get support? What physical products on Amazon do they buy to get support? What digital products do they buy to get support? What are their dreams? What direction do they want to move in? What’s in between where they are now and getting there? What are the top blogs/social media pages/YouTube accounts in the space that are serving this crowd already? Who are the top 10 influencers that are have hugely successful businesses ALREADY fixing the problem of this crowd?

Don’t ask what to create content about. Answer every single one of those questions and you’ll never even have to THINK about “How To Create Content” ever again in your entire life.

That was quite the little (or not so little) rant…wasn’t it?

Anyhoo…if you want to be able to make MORE than a full-time income from your personal Facebook profile (does not require ads) I go a lot deeper than just this post on it.

I have a full course called Social Selling Blueprint about how I’ve been making more than a full-time income from my Facebook profile…revealing how I’ve done cool stuff like make $10,000+ from a single Facebook post…have thousands of dollars a week come in from simply making posts to a tiny crowd of 5,000 on my profile, etc. etc.

Lots of cool stuff in there and whether you’re making good money, making meh money or making no money with your Facebook profile…this course will show you how to scale it up to a level much larger than you’re currently playing at now.

Another thing…I’m in the process of interviewing all the absolute badasses I know about how they’re running high-six and some even seven-figure businesses JUST from the Facebook posts they make on their profile…and I’ll be adding those interviews to the course for you as well, which I know you’ll enjoy times infinity.

So…if you want it now for just $997 before that doubles up, just click the button below to learn how to get instant access inside so you can start rocking and rolling on everything IMMEDIATELY.

Cheers to you crushing it out with a mere Facebook profile in 2019 😉

It’s a lot easier than you think.

🚀HOW TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE🚀(GET BETTER RESULTS FASTER)

by | How To Be More Productive

YOU FEEL IT IN THE DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL…DON’T YOU…EVEN THOUGH THE LAST THING YOU’D EVER WANT TO DO IS ADMIT IT!

The PAIN that comes with admitting you’re about to set New Years Resolutions that look eerilyyyyyy similar to the ones you had last year, the year before that and FIVE YEARS before that.

The CONFUSION that comes with LEARNING more and more every year, and seeing EVERYONE ELSE around you FAST-TRACK towards their most successful lives…but knowing you yourself are stuck in the mud NO MATTER WHAT you try to do. TODAY THAT ENDS.

You see…the sad TRUTH is that most entrepreneurs in the industry are going to do the same thing and write down their 2020 New Years Resolutions as the exact same ones they’re about to write down for us right here, right now, going into 2019.

The reason why?

They won’t even come close to hitting their goals by a FRACTION.

And they repeat the pattern year after year after year.

Nothing REALLY ever changes.

Well…it does for SOME.

A rare breed.

The SMALL SLIVER of entrepreneurs you see actually going out to the field and CRUSHING IT every day, hitting goals QUICKLY after they set them and actually making so much PROGRESS every year that they’re completely EMBARRASSED by the version of themselves they were the year before.

Because they’re GROWING.

REAL growth.

Not the fake kind of growth where “entrepreneurs” read a lot of books and do a lot of Google Hangouts with each other but at the end of the day/year…they still find themselves in the same place.

Simply put…they’re trying to ADD.

When they need to SUBTRACT.

Those who fail are trying to ADD on the latest and greatest success strategy that “they don’t have yet”.

Or they’re trying to ADD the “latest and greatest opportunity that will really do it for them!”

Or they’re trying to ADD “More strategies to my arsenal so I know more than I used to know!”

All EXTREMELY dangerous.

All keep the mind on what needs to be WELCOMED IN and not what needs to be TAKEN OUT INTO THE FIELD AND SHOT.

And what needs the bullet in between the eyes is your PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKS.

You have INNER PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKS that are within you and will GUARANTEE self sabotage EVERY TIME you try to reach for that next level.

And you have OUTER PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKS that are AROUND you externally, but transform your playing field into quicksand, so even if you were the best player in the game with the right equipment and skills, you’d still sink down and die.

The simple truth of the matter is…

Those who are outrageously successful have eliminated these INNER and OUTER productivity blocks that have been holding them back, so they can step into the version of themselves that would actually WELCOME in success without DESTROYING it.

And those who have NOT succeeded will NEVER succeed at any level that REALLY matters because they’re not even able to eliminate their productivity blocks…BECAUSE THEY CAN’T EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT THEY EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Think about it…

The person who knows their INNER productivity blocks…are they going to spend all their time trying to get to the latest and greatest events…or are they going to spend all their time ELIMINATING those productivity blocks so they can be a rockstar?

The person who knows their OUTER productivity blocks…are they going to spend all their time doing “Entrepreneurial Google Hangouts” with just ANYBODY…or will be they be reinvesting that same time into picking the weeds out of their social circle so they can thrive instead of being held back?

I remember back when my productivity blocks OWNED me.

And it felt like there was NOTHING I could do about them.

Truth be told…I didn’t even know what they WERE!

And it took me UNGODLY amounts of time, money, energy and going through situations you’d NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS desire for even your worst enemy to go through…but I was able to come out of the other side with clarity on what these blocks were that were holding me back.

Once I started to eliminate them one by one…things started changing.

I used to not be able to afford rent at the shitty places and now I’m in the cool places.

Millionaires used to not know my name and now they ask me to come hang out.

I used to scrape to make $10,000 in THREE months and now I have DAYS where I do that.

And I used to walk around on the brink of suicide and now can’t wipe the smile off my face.

It didn’t come from the latest and greatest strategy.

There was no piece of “Secret Wisdom” that I convinced a “Guru” to give to me.

Instead, I got so tired of knowing WHAT to do and knowing WHERE to go…but not DOING the thing and not GOING to the place.

I got so tired…I realized that this was BEYOND just strategy.

And STRATEGY is where most entrepreneurs stop.

They always want the NEXT one.

You KNOW if you just consistently APPLIED everything you already KNEW…that you’d do EXTREMELY well and blow your goals out of the water.

You know this.

You don’t need me to tell you.

The question we all try to answer then is…”Why do I know what to do…but I’m just not doing it?”

Productivity blocks.

Plain and simple.

They’ve been programmed into you at all different stages of your life and invisibly and silently THRASH any chances of success you could try to build for yourself.

They work AGAINST you…24/7/365.

And until you ELIMINATE them…you’ll keep treading water in an industry that drowns 99% of it’s entrepreneurs by the day…an industry that is only going to get more ruthless.

So my question to you my friend…

Will you enter this NEW YEAR with the same productivity blocks you entered LAST YEAR with?

Will you make alllllllllll the investments in 2019 but not make the BIGGEST INVESTMENT OF ALL…the one where you invest in actually ELIMINATING your inner productivity blocks so you can move towards your goals and actually ACCOMPLISH them?

Will you hustle-grind-grind-hustle and brag about it to your other hustle grinder friends who just work their entire lives away because they didn’t figure out that by eliminating your productivity blocks…you can actually work LESS and make MORE?

And will you end 2019 coming into 2020 with nothing new built, basically the same mindset, a smaller bank account, about a zillion more stressful hours worked but at the end of the day…nothing to really show for it?

Because that my friend…that’s not living.

That’s not LIFE.

And that’s not why you got into this game in the first place.

Instead…here are the questions to ask:

What if you could IDENTIFY and ELIMINATE those productivity blocks BEFORE the new year started so you can step into the most productive version of yourself EVER?

What if just ONE of those blocks you didn’t even know about was making business 90% HARDER than it needed to be, and eliminating just that ONE block for you could change your business success in the blink of an eye?

What if you suddenly REALIZED why you’d been self-sabotaging your results for all these years in a row simply because you saw some productivity blocks you were holding go of, and the mere recognition of them allowed you to RELEASE them so you could WELCOME crazy new levels of success?

Because the way things work my friend…

Is that EVERYTHING is ALWAYS changing.

There’s no “You staying still and repeating the same results over and over.”

It’s actually a slow death you’re dying day after day, just choosing your favorite numbing agent so that the whole thing doesn’t feel AS bad.

When the reality is…you KNOW you could do better.

You know it in your heart.

And you know it in your soul.

What you’re not 100% sure of is WHAT is holding you back specifically.

You’ve thought it was THIS or THAT over the years, but when you peered behind the curtain, you found that those were just SURFACE ANSWERS and you never really got to the ROOTS.

Identifying and eliminating your productivity blocks is getting to the ROOTS.

PULLING THEM UP so that no more WEEDS grow in your garden.

And then being able to actually nurture the garden that is YOU so you can produce whatever fruits (results) you desire in life.

Dedicate not to the superficial “Strategy Of The Week That Will Definitely Fix You.”

Dedicate instead to IDENTIFYING and ELIMINATING those productivity blocks so you can actually go out there and LIVE YOUR LIFE and run a business that supports you every step of the way.

After all my friend…you deserve it.

So will you step up and OWN 2019 and make it YOURS?

Or will you let it TAKE YOU like all the other years have and end it burnt out and just a little more bitter than you were the year before?

The choice is always yours my friend.

Make the right one.

P.S. If you’d like to see the DOZEN productivity blocks I’ve been able to identify and eliminate within myself, I put ALL my information on the topic into ONE COURSE that’s very easy to digest and even easier to take action on.

It’s called THE PRODUCTIVITY PLAN.

By the time you’re finished with this course you’ll not only KNOW what your INNER and OUTER productivity blocks are that have been holding you back for so long…but you’ll also have started the process of ELIMINATING THEM FOR GOOD.

And REMEMBER…the IDEAL VERSION OF YOURSELF does not HAVE these productivity blocks.

That IDEAL VERSION of yourself has taken the time to identify and eliminate them.

So my question for YOU is:

Will you step into that IDEAL SELF and make the DECISIONS that ideal self would make, the decisions that can eliminate what’s holding you back and set you on a path of abundance here and going forward?

Or will you slink back to what the weaker version of yourself will try to go for by default, not wanting to face the harsh truths of what’s holding you back because it’s better to stay comfortable…even though that comfort zone becomes a death trap faster than you can blink?

You know the right decision to make my friend.

And you know your life would be better without that which holds you back.

So here’s what to do right now:

Click the button below to get access to The Productivity Plan.

I’ll get you instant access to the FULL course and we’ll also have a conversation about what you feel is holding you back so we can make sure to launch you forward in ways you could never have even imagined.

Looking forward to your journey my friend.

And looking forward even more to receiving that message from you letting me know just how much your life has changed after eliminating just ONE of your productivity blocks.

Imagine what will happen when you eliminate ALL of them 😉

Looking forward to your message.

🌏OUTSOURCING TO THE PHILIPPINES🌏(GROW YOUR BUSINESS HANDS-OFF)

by | How Successful People Think, How To Outsource Your Business

IT’S PERFECTLY FUCKING OKAY TO LOOK AT SOMETHING, THINK “EW I DON’T WANT TO DO THAT” AND THEN NOT DO IT!!!

The KEY though…is knowing that the THING still needs to get DONE!

Right now I’m typing this to you as someone else sets up ALL the furniture in my house for under $200. I didn’t hire him because I had something super urgent to do during this time (let’s be honest, I’m smoking weed and eating avocado toast with WAY too much avocado on it) BUT I realized…

…a little voice in my head appeared after I unpackaged all my furniture, looked at it, and went…

“EW!”

(Jimmy Fallon hanging out with Taylor Swift voice)

IMMEDIATELY my brain splits into two and begins arguing.

“Just set it up, you know you can do it.”

“Yea but that’s not the point. Leverage motherfucker.”

“Dude it’s 3 fucking pieces of furniture. Grab your balls and get it done.”

“Yea but I don’t DESIRE to do it. Ever think of THAT?”

“It doesn’t matter. It needs to get done and you CAN do it. So do it.”

“Uh…it needs to get DONE. That doesn’t mean I have to do it!!!”

“Okay fair point…so how do we get this shit done WITHOUT you doing it?”

“Internet”

“Oh duh…internet!”

“You done being a bitch?”

“Yes. Let’s internet this!!!”

And now you have more of a glimpse at how my brain operates…

…well…

…how it operates NOW at least.

It wasn’t always like that…

A younger version of me would have basically just done ALL the work myself (even though I didn’t TRULY desire to) and then I’d brag on social media about how much I “hustled” that day.

The other hustlers would hop on the post and praise me, seeing that hustle in themselves too and having me justify for them that “Doing MORE Work” is the way to get ahead.

Unfortunately, it’s not.

You see…there’s work out there that needs to get DONE for you to get results.

The misconception by 99% is that THEY have to be the one who does it.

How outrageous.

As if the King lays every brick in the wall that surrounds the kingdom.

You have to separate the “FEEL GOOD” feeling that comes from DOING THE WORK and the “FEEL GOOD” feeling that comes from GETTING THE RESULT.

Because if you mix THOSE two up…you’re in for a world of hurt…

…and it’s the kind of hurt where you wake up to make your New Year’s resolutions and basically realize these goals are the ones that have been eluding you for MULTIPLE years, not just the last one.

Slipping through your fingers like trying to hold an ocean of water…trying to hold a mountain of sand…

The results will ALWAYS elude you…

…UNTIL…

…you surrender.

SURRENDER to the fact that maybe there’s people out there who get MORE results than you but actually do LESS work than you.

SURRENDER to the fact that yes this thing or that thing needs to get DONE…but it doesn’t mean that YOU have to do it.

SURRENDER to the fact that YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO DO THAT THING and someone ELSE out there WANTS to do it and they want to get PAID for it.

YOU would have done it in misery and not gotten paid a DIME for it.

It would have actually cost you thousands and thousands of dollars if you REALLY crunched how much time it was worth and then decided “Nah, that’s better spent putting together a DESK so I can save a few bucks”.

Will you do everything yourself and forever remain miserable?

Will you do the activity that actually costs you TONS of money instead of paying someone else a LITTLE bit of money to do it for you?

The WORK ALL DAY badge of honor is dead.

The HUSTLE GRIND GRIND HUSTLE badge of honor is dead.

The WORK > SLEEP badge of honor is dead.

You know what’s IN?

What has ALWAYS been in (low-key)?

And what will always BE IN?

LEVERAGE.

And leverage in ALL areas of life, not just business.

Oh yes, there are entrepreneurs out there who will preach leverage to you and show you how they’re outsourcing things in their business…

…and then they spend 4 hours a month cleaning their own houses…

…and doing every “Chore” imaginable…

…and then feeling “VERY PRODUCTIVE” on the day where they setup the thing AND did the grocery shop themselves AND cooked all the food themselves AND cleaned everything up themselves etc. etc.

It’s a false flag.

It’s us feeling productive because our parents REWARDED us for doing chores as kids, with praise and money and all that shit, to the point where it’s wired itself in our brains that not doing the “Chore” ourself is BAD and DOING the “Chore” ourselves is GOOD.

And when we start playing entrepreneur…we bring it into BUSINESS.

And “Doing ALL The Work Yourself” becomes the new normal.

Instead of your parents praising you, your fellow entrepreneurs do.

The fellow hustle-grind-grind-hustlers who haven’t TRULY grasped leverage yet either.

And that’s why 97% of online businesses fail.

The 3% that succeed are the ones that understand LEVERAGE.

They understand that the work needs to get done, but they don’t have to be out there in the trenches doing 100 fucking percent of it all by themselves.

And you know who REALLY wins?

It’s the entrepreneurs who understand what they TRULY LOVE to do in business and in life…so they dedicate to doing THAT AND ONLY THAT…and delegating or eliminating the rest.

They’re the ones with the PASSIVE income streams everyone desires.

They’re the ones with the MULTIPLE income streams everyone desires.

They have the LEAST STRESS.

They TRAVEL THE MOST out of the entrepreneurs I see.

And of course they always have MORE MONEY than everyone I know.

Because they understand SYSTEMS that breed LEVERAGE.

Simple.

BEFORE you have the right leverage systems, business is miserable.

You’re doing a TON of work for a LITTLE bit of money.

You see EVERYONE around you making money EASIER than you’re making it.

And while the sales flood down on them like an avalanche, you’re sitting and wondering how to get your next client that you pray isn’t as shitty as the LAST one was.

(Lots of businesses that NEED the next client NEED THE NEXT CLIENT are prime examples of businesses that have virtually NO systems and virtually NO leverage…watch out for them)

So what’s the solution?

Figuring out what you LOVE to do and saying FUCK THE REST!

And snubbing your nose at the GooRoos that will STILL try to tell you “Now sometimes you have to do things you hate to become successful.”

Gross.

Disgusting.

BULLSHIT.

Do what you love and the money will follow…

…BUT IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE SYSTEMS AND PEOPLE HANDLING ALL THE OTHER SHIT FOR YOU THAT YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO BE DOING!

(That’s where my woo-woo friends trip up and end the month with more crystals than dollars in their bank accounts).

For me…I know to a T what I love doing in business.

I love shooting videos.

I love writing.

I love building sales funnels including writing the copy.

Everything else can getttttttttt fuckeddddddd.

And that doesn’t mean that it’s not going to get DONE.

It just means that I’M not going to be the one who DOES it.

Customer loses their password or login details?

Only happens about…of fucking seven thousand times a week.

I used to STOP the writing I was doing and go give people logins.

Then I trained my team on how to do it for me.

I ALWAYS to play on all the social media networks and get leads from Instagram and Pinterest and LinkedIn and everywhere BESIDES where I was really active (Facebook & YouTube)…

…BUT I used to always TRY to play on all the social media networks BY MYSELF.

And so I got results with virtually NONE of them.

Now?

Software runs the LinkedIn 100%.

One teammate runs the Instagram.

One teammate runs the Pinterest.

Another teammate is editing the videos for me.

Another one is ranking them.

etc. etc.

People get scared when they hear I have MULTIPLE people working for me.

What they should REALLY be scared of is doing 100% of them fucking work THEMSELVES and devil-trading their time for it, WHICH THEY CAN NEVER GET BACK EVER!!!

I’m HAPPY to have multiple people working for me.

Elated.

Because it means I get to cut a check for someone to do work HAPPILY since nobody was going to cut ME a check for doing the work MISERABLY.

I said from Day 1 I’d do things on my terms and setup a life and business where I could do whatever the fuck I wanted with nobody telling me what to do.

And to be honest…I strayed from that path for a longggggg time.

I got BACK on the path when I fully surrendered to SYSTEMS and LEVERAGE.

Knowing that I deserve to get the FRUIT of the harvest even if someone else was in the FIELDS for me doing all the work…because I GAVE the access to those fields to them and I GAVE them money for their work in the fields.

And so I get to focus on what I love to do and say “Fuck the rest”.

It’s a VERY beautiful spot to be in.

One I struggled for years and years to get to before I finally “Got it” and it clicked.

So…how do YOU do it?

How do YOU take control of your business and your life and start running both the way YOU truly desire to instead of just being the eternal burnt-out hamster on the wheel of death?

SURRENDER to your DESIRES…

…while knowing that the work needs to get DONE…

…WHILE releasing the NEED to do it all yourself.

That’s one of the biggest remedies for success there is out there.

Do you even know what you LIKE to do in business?

Is it popping into your head as you read this or have you WRITTEN DOWN THE LIST?

And have you written the SHADOW LIST of what you HATE HATE HATE doing in business?

Because all my woo-woo friends ignore THAT one too and then get bent over by it later as they attract EVERYTHING into their lives, including that which they DON’T want at all.

So make the list of what you LOVE to do.

(In life AND business).

Then make the list of what you HATE to do.

(In life AND business).

Then you must ask yourself…

…how’s the balance?

Am I doing everything I hate and ignoring everything I love?

Am I doing both straight down the middle giving no special attention to the activities that really warm my soul and make me feel alive?

Am I doing ALL OF THE ABOVE so I can wear the grind-hustle-hustle-grind badge of honor because I secretly care more about people seeing me as a “Hard Worker” than me getting the result?

Oooooooh…

That’s a biggie 🙂

You must make the LISTS…

…and then you must SURRENDER TO THEM.

Not trying to change them.

Not trying to say “Well I will just keep doing this thing I really hate UNTIL…”

OR

“Well, I’ll start doing those things I really love WHEN…”

Both recipes for absolute and total disaster.

Make your lists and you’ll have more clarity than most.

Then ask yourself what activities on there YOU AND ONLY YOU can do and DESIRE to do (for example, me shooting videos, me writing copy, etc. etc.)

And then categorize the activities that need to get DONE, but you’re not head over heels in love with them so you don’t desire to do them yourself.

Maybe it’s customer support tickets, responding to emails, doing nit-picky SEO steps, making images constantly for sites like Pinterest, Instagram etc. etc.

Whatever it is for you, it’s time to step into a new chapter of your life where you GIVE UP CONTROL and let someone else GO GET THAT RESULTS FOR YOU.

It’s truly a beautiful thing.

And the exercises in letting go are some of the most powerful we could ever partake in.

I myself find IMMENSE joy in waking up and seeing not even the money I made while I was sleeping, but seeing the LIST OF WORK that got accomplished while I was sleeping.

Because it meant that I was able to give up control when it was holding it back.

Because it meant I got to move forward faster than I could just move myself.

And because I got to pay someone to happily do that work FOR ME instead of getting $0 to do the work miserably by myself when I knew my soul wasn’t calling me to do it.

We only live this life ONCE my friend.

I’m certainly not trying to spend it in front of a computer.

I’m certainly not trying to spend it working all day for some false badge of honor.

And I’m certainly not trying to spend it doing ANYTHING except for what I absolutely LOVE to do, that which sets my soul on fire and burns bright enough for the whole world to see.

That’s the life I desire for you too my friend.

Know that you DESERVE it.

Know that you’re WORTH it.

And know that the life you DESIRE is totally within your reach…

…but there will be some (probably MANY) things you’ll have to give up to get there.

Let the need to “Do it all yourself” be the first.

P.S. If you want ACCESS to every outsourcing system I use and run with my internal team that allows me to get MOUNTAINS of income-producing work done WITHOUT me doing it all myself…

…reach out and we’ll have a conversation with getting you early access to my upcoming course OUTSOURCE HAVEN where I break down EVERYTHING I’m outsourcing in my business (and life) and showing YOU how to do it step by step so you can create a “Walk away from it and it’s still earning for me” business that everyone got INTO the industry to get from Day 1 that only a small percentage of people actually wind up with.

Let’s work together to make you one of them.

After all my friend…you deserve it.

☠️HOW TO STOP SELF SABOTAGING☠️(AND ACHIEVE MASSIVE SUCCESS INSTEAD)

by | How Successful People Think, How To Be Successful

THE COLD TRUTH IS YOU PROBABLY DON’T FEEL LIKE YOU ARE “ENOUGH” TO HIT YOUR GOALS AND YOU’RE PUNISHING YOURSELF SUBCONSCIOUSLY SO THAT YOU NEVER ACTUALLY ATTAIN THEM.

You’ll get CLOSE. Maybe. But INSIDE…there’s a part of you who knows “All the times you fucked up and hurt other people in the past” and well…how would you ever allow THAT side of yourself to experience any major levels of success?

You don’t DESERVE success because of all the shit you’ve fucked up on in your past, or at least that’s what your subconscious is REALLY thinking…and it will never ever change UNLESS…

You realize you actually ARE enough.

You realize YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE.

A right to be in YOUR MARKETPLACE.

A right to experience MASSIVE SUCCESS.

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW IS:

You have a MAJOR part of yourself that is holding you back from it.

And you don’t even SEE that side of you consciously because CONSCIOUSLY: “DUH who wouldn’t want SUCCESS? OF COURSE I want success!”

Subconsciously though…every fiber of your being is keeping you away from it.

And a BIG part of that is because of your fuckups in the past.

The times you’ve lied to people.

The times you’ve hurt people either physically or mentally.

The times you felt low so you made others feel low too.

The times you’ve stolen…either physical possessions or time from somebody.

The times you’ve burst out in anger and hostility at the people who love you the most.

And let’s not forget all the times you SAID you were going to do the work but then you never actually did it and gave into sloth and gluttony instead.

How could THAT version of you EVER deserve success?

“But Ben…that’s not me anymore. I’m on the personal development path. I’m different now!”

Try telling that to your subconscious.

IT DOESN’T KNOW.

It is fulfilling the karma loop and working to PUNISH YOU for a million things you did wrong in the past and because it can’t specifically give you a million different punishments equal to everything you did…it’s just going to give you ONE punishment that dwarfs them all:

It’s going to hold you back from success.

It’s going to make success IMPOSSIBLE.

I’m sure you know by now the power of the compound effect and taking consistent action towards the results you desire, no?

Ever wonder why it’s so EASY to start and get that initial BURST of momentum (that you’re probably experiencing RIGHT NOW in the new year) but then you quickly go back to “Regular Mode” where nothing grows and no REAL success is ever attained?

It’s your subconscious PUNISHING you for your past.

It’s your subconscious saying “WAIT A MINUTE! You did all this fucked up shit in the past…and now you just want massive levels of success? Someone like you doesn’t DESERVE that success after all you did! So I’ll let you roll for a littleeeeeee bit so you don’t REALLY know what’s going on but then when you’re not looking…I’m going to cut off ALL your traction and ALL your momentum.”

And you know what that means:

You’re destined to fulfill the endless loop your entire life without end.

A purgatory of sorts.

Start doing the right things and getting a littleeeee success and then crash back down and start from scratch and start doing the right things to get a littleeeee success and then BOOM another crash.

Endless and endless and endless.

At least until you DIE of course.

We all have THAT to look forward to.

The REAL question my friend is:

In the time BEFORE that…don’t you want to spend it LIVING?

Don’t you want to spend it THRIVING?

Don’t you want to spend it fulfilling all your earthly desires and entering a state of permanent peace to the point where you’re GOOD and can now help lifting others up too?

Don’t you want to break out of the endless cycle?

So much of success starts with FORGIVENESS.

Not just forgiving other people who hurt you.

Anybody can do that.

But forgiving YOURSELF for all your fuckups in the past.

And knowing that just because you made mistakes and hurt others as well as yourself in the process…it doesn’t mean that you don’t DESERVE success.

It doesn’t mean that you’re not enough.

Because you ARE.

You ARE enough.

You’re MORE than enough.

No matter WHAT you did…you’re worthy of success…

…well…

…as long as you’re going to stay CONSISTENT on the path.

Most fall off.

More can’t stay on the path to success for more than a few days to be honest.

And it’s all because of this self-sabotage.

But those who have broken FREE from it…

…they started taking the dream life that’s in their head and turning it into a VIBRANT REALITY they live day to day.

It’s not just about reading the books and saying the affirmations and doing the work.

You need to dive deep and be HONEST about what you’re REFUSING TO FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR because THAT is the root of your self sabotage…THAT is the part of you that will hold you back from any REAL success with tricks you can’t even SEE.

And it’s not until you shine that light of awareness on those areas of your life, clear and transmute them, and TRANSCEND them that you’ll EVER step out of your funk and step INTO the most successful version of yourself you’ve ever experienced in your entire life.

Most will never do this in their lifetime.

It’s why the masses stay average.

It’s why 97%+ of businesses fail.

It’s why people have big hopes and fantastic dreams…but never seem to call them forward into their reality.

Because a part of their own selves made the decision that they’re not ENOUGH and they don’t DESERVE these goals because of the PAIN they’ve caused themselves and OTHERS in the past…so it builds a wall in between them and success that they have no idea how to climb over.

They don’t even know the wall is THERE.

But YOU my friend…you can dissolve that wall in an instant.

When you shine awareness on these areas…the wall begins to weaken.

When you forgive yourself for the pain you’ve caused…the wall begins to break.

And when you stay CONSISTENT with these two things…you’ll soon look up and find the wall crumbled down to ash at your feet, never to be rebuilt again.

And that’s when you can step over it and into the other side…the side where success lives…the side where you can exhale all your stress realizing you ARE enough and ARE deserving of success and now you’re finally the version of yourself capable of going out there and making it happen.

That’s what I wish for you my friend.

And hopefully that’s what you wish for yourself.

Let this year be the year you shine the light on the areas of your past that you’ve covered up for so long so you can step into the version of yourself capable of making ANYTHING happen that your pretty little heart desires.

After all, there IS a version of you that deserves it.

FIND IT.

P.S. I go IN DEPTH on all of this inside my course The Productivity Plan where we crack into all the different ways you’re self-sabotaging yourself from the INSIDE and all the ways your environment is sabotaging you from the OUTSIDE. The combination of the two holds most back from ever getting what they TRULY desire in life…but if you learn to conquer those “Productivity BLOCKS” as I like to call them…you can bring any results into your life that you want.

Unfortunately, there’s more productivity blocks than just THIS ONE that I mentioned in this post, but this one is the first BIG ONE to deal with so it’s what we conquer first in the course. But quickly after we get into the other 11 productivity blocks that have been holding you back for years and we work together to crush them one by one so you can end self-sabotage FOR GOOD and start living the life you’ve always wanted to live.

So if you’re SERIOUS about going through this process and leaving the self-sabotage behind to make way for the most successful version of yourself you’ve ever met…do yourself a favor and CLICK THE BANNER BELOW if you are ready for The Productivity Plan, and I’ll get you inside there INSTANTLY. Cheers to your best year ever my friend. You ARE enough. And you DO deserve it…whether the current version of your subconscious thinks you do or not 😉
