But it's not converting. The problem 99.9% of the time is that your funnel is good, but you suck at selling. If you want to learn how to sell so your funnels will actually convert, then get a ticket to my next selling online event by going to sellingonline.com podcast that's selling online.com podcast. This is the Russell Brunson Show. This book I recently got off eBay for $5,999.99. But we had in shipping and all that kind of stuff, ebay fees. It ended up being over $6,000. And some people might be wondering, why would you spend $6,000 on a book, Russell? First off, Neville is one of the most prolific writers from the genre that I like to collect in. He's got a huge cult following. And. And this edition of the book is actually really cool. Cause first off, it's first edition. But number two, it was actually signed by Neville right here. So it's called the Power of Awareness. And he's got a lot of books in this series. We'll probably do other videos in the future on a lot of them. This is what I want to lead with because it again is first edition and signed by Neville. One of the concepts from this book that I think. And there's so many cool things in here to talk about that awareness, meaning aware of something. Right. He talks about like most people aren't even like they're not conscious of what's happening around them. Like most of us are living lives. We're just kind of weird. We're out there, we're bouncing around and we're just doing whatever it is that we're not even aware of it. Talking about like the power, like when you're able to be aware of like, this is what's happening. This is why I'm doing things. It changes things for me. The very first time I had that, I was my very first Tony Robbins event. When everyone's at the event and we're jumping around and. And I remember the first time, like I became aware of like what I was doing and why I was doing it. And the crazy thing is, like my whole life I've been doing this. I had these patterns that I was. That was running, I didn't even know. And as soon as I became aware of the Pattern I was able to stop back and be like, well, I keep doing the same thing over and over again. And I was aware of it, then I could change it, but prior I couldn't. It was all invisible to me. Right? And I think about, like, probably one of the greatest gifts I got from Tony Robbins was being aware of the patterns that I was in, right? And a lot of this book is about that, like the power of awareness. When you're aware of something, then you can stop it and you can change it. Versus most people are just drifting. They're just, they're living their life. They're not even aware of the things that they're actually doing, right? One of the other really powerful things that I learned from Neville in this book he talks about, but also in other books I've read from him, that was really powerful. So the key to transformation is to think about the thing you want as if it's already happened, right? And it's not like I think sometimes you see this in, you know, the self help gurus are like, you know, if you want to be rich, just tell people you're rich, you're rich, you're rich. And that's not what, that's not what I'm talking about here. In fact, I have a really cool example in my own life. Over the last man two, two and a half years, I've really struggled to sleep at nights. I've had sleep issues. And the reason that I have so many, so many projects I'm working on, stress and anxiety of the business and chaos with kids and all this stuff. And so happened, I go to bed at night and as I'm going to bed at night, I start thinking about the obstacles, right? Like one, I'll be falling asleep and all of a sudden thinking about one obstacle in my way, right? Honestly, I think about that. I'm like, oh. So my brain starts trying to figure out how to solve that. And I'm trying to think about that. All of a sudden the next obstacle pops up, another one. And soon I'm like, I'm stressing about 12 different projects and I can't sleep at night. Next thing I know, it's five in the morning, my alarm clock's going off, I haven't slept yet. And it's like. And I really struggled that long time. And then I started 75 hard about 40 days ago and I was reading a Neville Goddard in there. He talked about before you go to bed at night. He's like, don't focus on the obstacles in your head. He said, instead, visualize the end state of what you want to accomplish, what you're working towards. He said if you do that, a couple things happen. Number one, you'll be able to fall asleep better. Which I was like, oh thank heavens, I could use that right now in my life. But number two, he said when you do that, he's like your subconscious mind. If you visualize where you're trying to get to, your subconscious mind when you're sleeping, will figure out all the things to answer and then be able to solve that problem. You see, when you're stressing about and thinking about the problems you have, your brain will like make those problems bigger, which is why you can't sleep at night. But if you visualize the end state. So for me, for example, what I was doing right now, a lot of you guys probably know, like right now I'm in my makeshift version of my vault. I am building a 20,000 square foot museum for my books, my magazines, my manuscripts, everything, right? And this has been a big project last two or three years. And so for me, I was like stressing out all the details of everything. And I remember stopping it after reading this from Neville. I said, okay, tonight when I go to bed, I'm just going to think about the end state. So I pictured myself like in the museum event center. I pictured myself on stage with like my, my inner circle members in there. I'm teaching him stuff, we're having a great time. I visualize myself like in the room with the books. I sit down researching and writing and like writing my next book. And like the end state of like of the angle that I'm racing towards, right? And I remember I did that the first night and within five minutes I was out cold. And, and the next day I was like, I slept great last night, right? And then the next day I say when I go to bed tonight and visualize the end state. Visualize the end state, right? And then fell asleep. So I was falling asleep really good. But then the next byproduct, which is crazy, is just like he said, like your subconscious mind will figure out ways to solve these problems as you're, as you're sleeping and when you're not in like conscious, like trying to solve the problem zone, right? It's so crazy because like over the next 30 day window, like all these like answers to the problems for me to solve, to the big division I was working towards start showing up in weird ways where like all of a sudden like an idea, a person's head would pop in mind or a different situation or like these things would just come into my mind and they were the answer to how to solve the problems. And so I don't know, maybe it's, maybe it's woo woo, maybe it's super magic, I don't know. But two things it did for me is number one, make me sleep better at night, which was a huge blessing. Number two, it's getting me closer to the thing I've been visualizing. It's funny because I hadn't done that for so long, but when I think back like my athletic career as a kid, every night I went to bed and I visualized me as a state champion getting my hand raised. Like that was something every night I would think about. When I got to college I started thinking about same thing with like my goals there and I'd forgotten about it. Like in athletics and sports, I think a lot of times we talk about visualization, you know, we hear about you know like basketball, like they, they detest where Maximum Waltz did test where, where they had basketball players who actually shot like a thousand free throws. And then basketball players at night were like in their head practice a thousand free throws and both groups in increase their like their scoring percentage by the same amount whether they're doing it actually or just like visualizing it, you know. And so a lot of times athletics, they look at tests like that and talk about athletes like visualize yourself doing the thing. But we don't talk about in business, right? At least I never hear people talking about it. And I think a lot of us business people think we're too. That's too woo woo for us. I'm not gonna try it. But if it wasn't for someone like Neville, who I respect him as a writer and as an author, as someone who still has a huge cult following on online today, I wouldn't have tried it. And so far for me it's been great. So there's your homework assignment for tonight. Visualize the end state of the thing you're trying to accomplish. And see number one, if helps you sleep better at night. And number two, see if you do that consistently over time if the answers to the problems you're trying to solve start magically showing up. Who knows? I've been trying to build out the lineage of personal development. Like the whole like who learned from who and where they all came from. And it's interesting because you look at the timeline like there's a lot of like Christian authors and a lot of like new thought offers and there were Times in the middle where these people bumped into to each other. I think Neville is interesting because he has like the Christian base and he's got the new thought base. And so there are people from both camps that like kind of fell in love with him. And so I actually first started understanding Neville. Like I'd bought his stuff because he kept showing up. I hadn't read anything. And I think it was Eileen Wilder was the first time when she started quoting this Neville stuff to me. And if you know Eileen, she's in the whole like personal development, but she's also used to be a preacher. So she always brings these ideas to me. And she's. So she was sharing ideas and sharing stories and I'm like, who is this person he's talking about? She's like, oh, it's Neville. You don't know what Neville? I'm like, I bought a bunch of stuff, I don't know who he is yet. She's like, oh, Neville's my favorite. And so it made me kind of put a spotlight on him. It's like, who is this guy? So I started buying more books, trying to find more first edition copies. And now that I've been diving into Neville's work, it's really fascinating. Just the level of bringing some of the spiritual and the thought things together and combining them into something that you can use together to. To help increase your success in any area of your life.
