Why We Procrastinate And How To Get Unstuck From Procrastination

– My name is Russell Brunson And the second question today
to go over is procrastination. How many of you 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
doodle this one out. So this right here,
this is your computer. And on your computer there’s
tons of stuff happening right? You’ve got your, in fact, 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 your laptop
and you’re typing away And there’s all these
things happening right? There’s Youtube and there’s
Instagram and there’s Facebook. In fact most of you
guys are watching this On one of these platforms
right now, I guarantee, And so you’re probably in
this procrastination mode Where you’re not focusing
on just getting stuff done. And so for me, what I have to do Is a lot of it comes back to
how you structure your day And how you figure some
of those things out. But if you wanna
stop procrastinating There’s a couple things. One of the reasons why
entrepreneurs procrastinate, I learned this
from Dan Sullivan, He talked about, I’m gonna
move my books over here, So he talked about most
of us entrepreneurs right, We have this vision of this
thing we wanna accomplish. So here’s your vision and
you’re like I wanna do that. I wanna serve these people. I wanna create this product, Or I wanna make money
doing, you have this vision

Where you’re trying to go. And here is you over here And you see this
vision and you’re like This is how, what I have to go. And so you start on this path And you start walking
towards this vision And something happens
where you get stuck right? Where you’re trying
to learn something new That you don’t understand
and you’re like ah And you get stuck,
and then what happens? I don’t know about you but
I’ve written now a couple books And I get this all the time When I’m writing my
books where I’m writing And there’s pain associated
and my brain’s 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 you
start shifting to this mode Of procrastination. And usually this detour happens And you’re trying to figure out How do I do something, right? You’re like how do
I do this thing? You start researching then
you’re listening to podcasts And you’re reading a book and
another thing, another thing, Then you’re going to
search on Youtube, Then you listen to a video
that shows you how to But then you see all the
cute girls in the video. There, you should watch those, Then you’re off on this tangent And then you’re, and
next thing you know It’s like three
days later right? How many has it happened
for more than once? And so what Dan
Sullivan talked about,

He said look, if you want
to get to your vision You can’t keep procrastinating. That’s what this says right
here, procrastinating. Because the reason, the thing
that causes procrastination Is how, like how
do I do this thing? He said what you have to
start shifting your focus to Is instead of how do I do
it is this question of who. Who already knows
how to do the thing That I’m trying to
get done, right? So for me when I was
building click funnels I could have been like
alright, first step, I need to code software
called click funnels right? And I would have sat down And I was like okay, I
need a programming book And I’m gonna read programming And I’m gonna learn
Ruby on Rails. I gotta learn Javascript, I
gotta learn all these things. And I woulda been
procrastinating for forever ’cause I’m not smart enough
to be a programmer right? Or I step back and
say who do I know Who actually knows how to
execute on this already? And I met my partner
Todd Dickerson, Who is the dude who build
click funnels initially And Todd was the who who
already knew how to do to it. So I didn’t have to learn
how to do programming. I just found Todd,
who’s the who, And he went and
started programming it, And got us closer to the vision. And then it’s like okay I
need to design a sales letter. Now I’m not a designer
so I needed somebody To help with that,
and then I needed. And then instead of me
trying to figure out How to use Photoshop,
how to use Facebook ads, How how how all these things,

Each of those hows put you into
this mode of procrastination Where you’re stuck
forever right? And so instead of
figuring out the hows Then figure out who
are the people I need? Okay, if you look at
any good superhero movie What always happens? Usually there’s this
person, there’s you, And put a little cape on you,
so you’re a superhero right? But most superheroes
can’t save the day. Maybe it’s just ’cause
I watched Justice League And Avengers and
everyone recently, But if you look at all
the superhero movies, When they got a big
vision what did they do? The Justice League
calls their people in. The Avenger group gets, they
get the hulk and they get Thor. They get all the people and
they get all the whos around To help them to
dominate this vision. So for you as the entrepreneur, If you’re not careful you get
in this procrastination mode Where instead of saying
who are the people I need to build this vision, Then, it gets you off
this procrastination Where it gets you moving
towards your vision. And some of you guys
are sitting back Saying well Russell,
I don’t have any money To hire a Todd or
hire the people I need To get my vision so
I have to learn it ’cause I don’t have any
money, I’m broke, right? Well I got good news for you. Guess how much money I pay
Todd to build click funnels. At first zero. Now he gets paid a lot of money. But what happened? We partnered on it.

He saw the vision. He’s like oh that
vision’s awesome. I want in. I said cool, let’s get
together, let’s do this thing And we both got together, We both put our skin, our
time, our effort into it, And then we build
the thing right? And then I don’t
know how to buy ads So then John on my team, I’m
like John, here’s the vision. John’s like I’m in, boom. We start buying ads and
then we start bringing All our Avenger team together To go and conquer this vision. So for you you just gotta
figure out what’s your vision, Who are the whos you need
to execute on that vision, And then bring them together. And all of these are
superpowers partnered 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,
entrepreneurs usually don’t, It’s not that they
don’t have the vision. The problem is they either
run out of time or money Before they ever
get to the vision. It’s because of this. They’re trying to figure
out hows, the hows On every single
step of the path. And when you do that you never
actually get to the end goal. So take your computer,
turn off Youtube, Turn off all these things
that aren’t helping you, And start focusing on who. Who are the whos I
need to dominate this? Now depending when you’re
watching this video I have a really cool
service coming out
