How we’re creating systems so that everyone can focus on their unique abilities.

On this episode Russell talks about being worth $100,000 a day in his business, 
but not being worth anything as an assistant wrestling coaching. He goes on to say
why it’s important to focus on unique abilities. Here are some of the amazing things
in today’s episode:

 * Why Russell had to tell an old friend that he couldn’t come visit unless he paid
   him $100,000 a day.
 * How Russell ended up being an assistant wrestling coach for free.
 * And why focusing on our own and our team members unique abilities is a good way
   to grow your company.

So listen here to find out why Russell charges $100,000 a day for business consulting,
but is an assistant wrestling coach for free.

What’s up everybody, this is Russell Brunson. Welcome to Marketing Secrets podcast.
I hope you guys have an amazing day today because I’ve got something cool to share
with you. Alright everybody, I’m heading back into the office. It’s been a couple,
the last two weeks have been a lot.

Some of you guys, if you’ve been watching, last week I re-wrote the webinar from
the ground up and it did really well. Over a million dollars in sales in the first
week, which is cool. But the coolest thing, now that asset is done and created it
will be placed in different places, including the home page of Clickfunnels. And
it should, next year generate a lot. Anywhere from 10 – 20 million bucks.

So it’s like, you do the work once and it pays you forever. And now I’m writing 
a webinar this week for our new program called Software Secrets, which is a brand
new thing. It’s always, the last webinar I wrote from scratch, but the offer was
similar to what I’ve done in the past. So this one, this is a brand new offer, brand
new everything.

And my kids started wrestling, and I don’t know if I told you guys this already,
but the first day of wrestling practice happened and I didn’t know about it. I don’t
know, we just got the dates messed up. So my kids went and that night I came home
and I was all excited to see them, “How was wrestling?” and they’re all in tears,“
We hate wrestling. We never want to go back.” And I was like, “What? No.”  So I 
had to call the coach and a few minutes later I called to be an assistant wrestling
coach. So now everyday at 3:00, I love it, I get to go to wrestling practice with
my kids.

The only problem is that this week was planned to be the Software Secrets launch
week, so I was going to have a whole week to build out the webinar. The problem 
is that now from 3 til 6 every night I’m at wrestling. So it cuts out, plus like
drive times and everything else, it cuts out about 4 ½-5 hours every day. So I really
needed to get this webinar, so I’ve been late nights. I was up at the office until
2 last night. I’m going to probably be there til 2 or 3 tonight and then do the 
webinar tomorrow morning live.

But I think conservatively, it’s an amazing offer. It’s really insane. I would be
shocked if we don’t do a million dollars during the launch week, or this week, the
webinar week, you know. And then that will go on and next year it could do, who 
knows, anywhere from 5-10 million bucks. So you do the work once and it pays you
for the next 5 years, which is cool. That’s what I love about webinars. All that
effort you put into it. So it’s worth putting in the effort.

It’s funny, as I’ve been doing this and thinking about it, I had an old friend from
about 15 years ago call me and to start off, just kind of catching up and then, 
and I respect him for this, but as a good sales person does, he wanted to sell me
something, and he’s like, “yeah, I could fly out to Boise and spend a day or two
with you guys and show you all the stuff that we have.” And all this stuff right,
and I was just like, how do you tell your friends this.

Awkwardly I’m sitting there and I’m like, “Hey man,” I was so uncomfortable, because
how do you tell your friend, someone who’s known you when you were just a punk kid?“
I don’t know how to tell you this nicely, but just so you know, right now I bill
out, if you were to come in for a day of consulting I bill out an 8 hour day at 
$100,000. So for you to come out for 2 or 3 days, the opportunity cost for me, its
2 or 3 hundred thousand dollars. So it’s really hard for me to just block out that
time. I feel like such a jerk telling you that. But if you want to come out and 
we hang out as friends or something, I would love to see you again as friends, that’s
super cool. To take 2 or 3 business days, the opportunity cost is not little.”

He was like, “What? Are you serious?” I’m like, “yeah.” It’s kind of awkward right.
But that’s what we charge. You know, I saw someone the other day posting in our 
Facebook group like, “How come the guru’s don’t just charge $150 an hour so they
can help everyone?” and it’s like, gall I wish I could. I wish there were more hours
in the day. That’d be awesome. But I was like, literally I’m spending 3 days to 
create this webinar that will make me a million dollars in the first week. And anywhere
from 5 to 10 million dollars extra, maybe more. Who knows?

So I’m spending 3 days, 3 days of focus time. And in my pocket goes 8 plus figures.
$100,000 a day is actually super cheap discounted rate. You know what I mean? So
I was trying to explain that, I was like, I don’t know how to say it nicely. I was
like, even if you did want to pay me $100,000 a day, the first opening is probably
5 or 6 months away. My calendar is insanely booked. Anyway, so that’s kind of, that
was this awkward moment. “I’m so sorry man, I just, I don’t want you to think I’m
a jerk or anything, but that’s why I can’t just have you come out for 2 or 3 days
to sell me something. I just can’t, I wish I could.”

So that was, there’s step one. And then so now I’m at wrestling practice with my
kids and I’m sitting there and I’m spending 3 or 4 hours a day, every day, at wrestling
practice, which again, I love. It’s so cool. I remember when I was this age, going
to practice and my dad coming and watching and working out with me. It’s just cool.
It’s been a really unique time with the twins, just such a cool thing to be able
to spend time with them. Like I said, they haven’t liked wrestling, so I’m in there
trying to make sure they’re liking it. I’m in there wrestling most of the time I’m
drilling with them, I’m helping them and just making sure they have a good experience
just so that they keep doing it. And for the next two or three years in the beginning
programs, that they like it.

If they like, I just don’t want them to get hurt, or beat up, so I’m just there 
to make sure that they like it and teach them some moves so they start beating kids.
Because if you start beating kids, then it gets fun. So I’m just like, trying to
get them through this initial pain of the beginning. And I’m sitting there, I’m 
an assistant coach, I’m not getting paid anything obviously. And I was just like,
it’s so interesting, in this area of my life, like in business, my time is worth
$100,000 a day. But in wrestling my time is not worth anything. I’m not getting 
paid for the 3 to 4 hours a day that I’m spending, which is, I don’t want to get
paid for it.

But I had this realization, over here I’m insanely valuable monetarily. Over here,
I’m not. Best case scenario, if I was, even the best wrestling coaches in the world
maybe, maybe clear 6 figures, probably not. Most of them probably $50-60 grand max.
And these are like the best, these are the dudes like the Michael Jordan’s of the
world, of the wrestling world. So it’s like, let’s just say I was at that level 
and I was getting paid that, I’d still be making $20 an hour, $30 an hour maybe.
So for three hours it’s worth $60, $80, maybe $100 for my time. Whereas that time
spent over here is worth $20 grand an hour. You’re looking at $20, 40, 60 grand 
for that same time, just where am I focusing at.

And as I was thinking through it I was like, that’s so fascinating how valuable 
I am here and not so much here. So I started thinking about us as entrepreneurs 
where how often do we spend our time, we have a unique ability that’s worth $100
grand a day right. To our company and to us and the people we’re serving right. 
But then, we go and start doing these $8 an hour jobs because it’s gotta be done,
so I should be the one doing it. But you’re not worth that much there. It’s so expensive
to have you spending time on $8, 10, 20 an hour jobs if you’re making $20,000 an
hour doing your unique ability.

It’s been interesting, I’ve been working with Jeff Woods, from The One Thing, on
building things out. One of the big things I’m focusing on, thinking through is 
we’re trying to re-systemize our business because it’s kind of to the point where
we need to re-set and re-do all those things. And as I’m thinking through it I’m
just like, I want to create the systems and my goal in these systems is to create
the system so that it forces me, and forces everybody on my team to only do their
unique ability. Because each of us has a unique ability where we’re worth $100,000
a day, and then we have things we’re good at where we’re worth $20 an hour.

It’s like, if I can get everyone focusing on their unique abilities where they’re
worth $100 grand a day versus their non unique abilities where they’re worth $100
a day, man how much faster can we grow and can we scale and all those type of things?
So that’s been my thought process.

So right now, we’re in the re-systemization of our company from now until the end
of the year. After the Software Secrets launch I’m going to take, you guys will 
see me take a little bit of my foot off the gas, so I can recoup, restructure, get
systems in place and then in January we’re going to go crazy, so it’s going to be
fun.

But that’s why, I’m trying to figure out how to get everyone focusing on their unique
ability and not focusing on the $100 a day jobs that they can do, and they are doing,
but how do we get it so we’re all focusing on unique abilities? So for you guys 
who are thinking about it, what’s your unique ability? Think through that and then
figure out, okay now that I know that, what are the people on my teams unique abilities
and how do I create a structure where everyone is focusing 100% of their time on
unique abilities? When you do that, you’ll start growing.

Dan Sullivan, at strategiccoach.com, if you guys go there he, I just bought every
book on his website last week. It showed up in a huge box. Because I’m about to 
immerse in some Dan Sullivan, so I don’t just buy one book, I buy all of them because
I love immersion. But in one of his books, it’s about unique ability, it has like
a work book and everything. I haven’t read it yet, but I know it’s awesome, so check
it out.

You guys, there is Garrett, and there is Scott. Those are our partner’s for Software
Secrets, Lindsay, they’ve been up here for the last 2 days camping overnight with
me getting everything ready for the launch tomorrow. So if you guys are watching
the video you just saw Garrett, Scott and Lindsay. If not, you just saw me point
in the air and didn’t see anything, if you’re just listening. So anyway, I’m going
to jump in and we’re going to get this thing launched. I got 5 ½ hours before wrestling
practice. After wrestling practice I’m going to come back and probably spend another
51/2 hours, so about 10 hours to get this webinar done before my body will shut 
down. Wish me luck.

And then tomorrow will be a million dollar day and then we’ll have an asset that’ll
pay us for the rest of our lives. So this is my unique ability. So that’s what I
spend my time doing. Spending my time managing, $100 a day job. Spending my time
writing webinars, $100 grand a day job. So I’m focusing on my unique ability today,
which will be good. So that’s all I got. Alright everybody, appreciate you all, 
talk to you guys soon. Bye.
