Why We Procrastinate And How To Get Unstuck

Key Takeaways

my name is Russell Brunson and the second question today to go over is procrastination how many guys are procrastinating too long and you know that so if you have a problem and you're busy watching YouTube videos how do you beat procrastination so I'm actually gonna duel this one out again so this right here this is your computer alright and on your computer there's tons of stuff happening right you've got your if I'm gonna make a little laptop you see my mad drawing skills I'm actually really bad at doodling there you go there's a laptop and you're typing away and there's all these things happen that there's there's YouTube and there's Instagram and there's Facebook vacuum oh she has watching this on one of these platforms right now I guarantee and so you're probably in this procrastination mode we're not focusing on just just getting stuff done and so for me what I what I have to do is a lot of is comes back like how you structured a and how you figure some of those things out but if you want to stop procrastinating there's a couple things one of the one of the reasons why entrepreneurs procrastinate I learned this from from Dan Sullivan he talked about the moon my books over here so we talked about most of us entrepreneurs right we have we have this vision of this thing we want to accomplish right so here's your vision and you're like I want to do that I want to serve these people I want to create this product I want to make money doing what you have this vision we're trying to go right and here's you over here and you see this vision and you're like this is how what I have to go and see start on this path you start walking towards your vision then something happens where you get stuck right we're trying to learn something new that you don't understand and you're like ah you get stuck and then what happens on about you but I've written now a couple books and I get this all timing around my books from I'm like I'm reading and there's like pain associated and my brains like I need to do anything except for the painful thing that's over here so you start trying to figure out other things to do and what happens is then you start shifting to this mode of procrastination and usually this this this detour happens you're trying to figure out how do I do something right like how do I do this thing you start researching then you listen your podcast and you're reading a book and another thing another thing another thing is you're going searching YouTube then you listen to video that shows you how to band you like see all the cute girls in the video there should watch those then you off on this tangent then you're and next thing you know it's like three days later right I mean as that happened for more than once again and so what Dan's flow been talked about so look if you want to get to your vision you can't keep procrastinating that's what this says right here Pro Crest because the reason the thing that causes procrastination is this how like how do i how do i how do i do this thing he said where you have to start shifting your focus to is instead of like how do i do is is this question of who who already knows how to do the thing i'm trying to get done right so for me when I was building clickfunnels I could have been like alright first step I need a code software called clickfunnels right and I would have sat down and I would like okay hey the programming book I'm in reprogramming I'm gonna learn Ruby on Rails like I learned JavaScript I can literally sit and I would have been procrastinating for forever because I'm not smart enough to be a programmer right or I step back said who do I know who actually knows how to execute on this already and I met my partner Todd dickerson who's the dude who built clickfunnels initially and Todd was who already knew how to do it so I need to learn how to do programming I just found Todd who's Lou and he went our programming and got us closer to the vision right and that's like okay I need to design a sales letter now I'm not a designer so I needed somebody help with that and I needed and instead of me trying to figure out how to do like how to use Photoshop how to use Facebook Ads how how all these things each of those house put you into this like mode of procrastination where you're stuck forever right and so instead of doing thinking out the house that figure out who are the people I need okay if you look at any good superhero movie what always happens right usually there's like this person there's you and this little cape on you see you're a superhero right but most superheroes can't say the day maybe it's just cuz I watched Justice League and Avengers and everyone recently but if you look at all the superhero moves when they got a big vision what do they do the Justice League calls their people in the Avenger group gets to get the whole can they get Thor and they get all the people they get all the who's around to help them to dominate this vision okay so for you as the entrepreneur if you're not careful you can get in this procrastination mode where you say instead if he's are saying who are the people I need to build this this vision then it gets you off this procrastination or and get you moving towards your vision and some of you guys are sitting back saying Russell I don't have any money to hire a Todd or hire the people that need to get my vision so I have to learn it because I don't have any money I'm broke right well I have good news for you guess how much money I pay Todd to build clickfunnels at first zero now he gets paid a lot of money right what happened we partnered on it he saw the vision he's like all that visions off and I wanted I said cool we've hit together let's do this thing and we both got together we both got our skin our time or effort into it and then we build a thing right and then I I don't know how to buy add so then John on my team I make John here's the vision John's like I mean boom he start buying ads and we start bringing all our Avenger team together to go and conquer this vision so for you you just got figure out what's your vision who are the Hoos you need to execute on that vision and then bring them together all these your superpowers partner together and then go and create the vision that way you won't get stuck in procrastinating which is where most people get stuck and I always tell people like entrepreneurs usually don't it's not that they that they don't have the vision the problem is able to run out of time or money before they ever get to the vision it's because of this they're trying to figure out the house the house on every single step of the path and we do that you never actually get to the end goal so take this take your computer turn off YouTube turn off all these things aren't helping you and start focusing on who who are the who's I need to dominate this now depending when you're watching this video have really cool service coming out call
