Bonjour and welcome to the MLM Trigger, I am your host Corine Arnaud and this PODCAST is to help you LEVERAGE Your Network Marketing Skills using the internet to grow your MLM downline.

We are going to dive into [Finding Your Hero Within] and we'll talk about to help your audience break their 4-minute mile. 

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the story of Roger Bannister who broke the 4-minute mile on May 6, 1954. Prior to that, everyone thought it was impossible, and after Roger broke it, proving it was possible, many people since then have been able to do it. The certainty people get when they see someone else do something they thought was impossible, gives them the belief they need to also achieve that same goal.

Russell Brunson my mentor shared his story of how his belief changed and gave him the courage to follow his dreams. Here is what he said that: On August 17, 2004, a similar record was shattered that gave him the belief that he needed to chase after his dreams. He had started his online business in 2002 while he was wrestling and going to school. His new bride was supporting her jobless student athlete husband, and he felt guilty because he wanted to help provide. 

So he started to do online project with a goal to make an extra $1,000 per month. If his little business could do that, then he would feel like a success. For next two years he was learning how this game was played, and had a few small successes, but nothing huge. At about that time, he heard about an online marketer named John Reese who was about to launch a new product he had created— called “Traffic Secrets.” 

He heard rumors from friends that his goal was to make a million dollars selling that course. He didn’t think too much about it at the time, but he was excited to buy a copy of his new course. 

A few days before his launch, he went on a family trip to a lake in southern Idaho. When he got to that town, he realized there was no internet access anywhere, except in a small library that had a very slow dial-up modem. So, he went into town and waited in line so he could check his emails online. When it was his turn, he opened his email and saw an email from John Reese with a subject line that said, “We did it!” 

He wasn’t sure what he was talking about, so he opened the email and read a story that changed his life. He said that earlier that day, August 17, 2004, they had launched his new course, and in just 18 hours, they had made a million dollars! As he read that, everything around him slowed down to a stop. 

He hadn’t made a million dollars total selling his course, he had made a million dollars in less than a day! He had broken the 4-minute mile. 

As he thought more about that, he realized that his goal to make a $1,000 a month was so small. He then realized that to accomplish this goal, he had to sell 1,000 copies of a $1,000 course. And suddenly, it became so tangible and so real for him, and he realized that is what he wanted to do; He wanted to make a million dollars. It completely transformed what he thought was possible, and because of that, he started thinking differently and started acting differently. 

Within a year of reading that email, he didn’t make a million dollars, but he got close. And the second year he tried it, and he missed it again, but within 3 years, he had made a million dollars in a single year! Then later he made a million dollars in a month. And later he actually made a million dollars in a day! And then he made a million dollars in an hour.

It was something that he didn’t think was possible. It didn’t make logical sense, they didn’t talk about things like this when he was in school, but because John did it, he knew that he could do it. He wanted people to see that others before them have actually broken the 4-minute mile, and that they can as well. He wanted them to start thinking and acting differently, just like he did when he saw that John could do it.

What is the 4-minute mile for your movement?  Initially, the 4-minute mile will need to be something that you’ve already accomplished, so you can show them it’s possible and give them hope and belief that they can do it as well. Russell said that as you shift your focus to helping others accomplish the same results, and breaking their 4-minute mile, you’ll notice something strange will happen inside of your movement. 

Your focus will be taken off of you making money, and into giving results to others, and for some odd reason, as soon as you make that shift in your own thinking, almost instantly you will start making more money. Who knows why it works that way, but it always does. And as more of your members break the 4-minute mile, more people will be attracted into your movement and it will start to grow faster than you ever thought possible. 

He believed that every good movement has something like this that people can aspire to. That’s why Inside of Russell Brunson company ClickFunnels, he created a “2 Comma Club.” It is basically a free website where people can see pictures and stories about their peers who have created a funnel that has made a million dollars. I have attached the link in the description.
