FBC – 202 – This Is How You Get RESULTS

This Is How You Get RESULTS.

Today, I am going to discuss the ONLY way to get the results you want. It comes from a personal story and perfectly illustrates the mistakes that we all make when it comes to reaching our goals.

This episode is crucial guys! This is a lifelong lesson that will serve you for the rest of your life so make sure to tune in…

And there are some lessons that I learned from it. And I want you guys to learn from my mistakes. And that will serve you.

So if you've been following me for a while, you've heard me complain about my leg, man, my leg hurts and blah, blah, blah. It's been a year and it sucks. And you know what happened today? My leg is fixed, my friends. I can move sideways. I can move backwards. I can go up the stairs. No pain. No nothing.  You can't even imagine how happy I feel. It's absolutely amazing.

So what's the lesson here? The lesson is this. My leg was hurting. I'll be very honest with you guys that in the last couple of days, I basically accepted the fact that, you know what? I'm going to have this pain until the end of times. But anyway, it got so bad that I couldn't walk. So at this time, I called the massage guy. You know, he knows what he's doing. Because he's been studying that kind of stuff.

But here is where I made my biggest mistake.  I call the dude. He will massage me. Then I don't do shit for the next week. And then if it hurts, I call the dude again. Instead of calling the dude and then actually doing the stretches and the stuff, the only thing I was doing was moaning.

But what changed for me was that it was so bad that I decided that, you know what, I really need to get to the bottom of this and I need to devote my attention to fixing this problem. I can't rely on the guy. I need to figure out what it is. I told you a few days ago that, you know, I thought I found the answer.

So I started looking on YouTube, trying to identify. Where the pain was coming from. And I started saving some videos, like people showing exercises. And I've created my own series of exercises based on how painful it was, because there were some exercises that required me to put my knee in a position which was hurting.

And I'll do it in the morning and in the evenings before I go to bed. Regardless what time it is, because I really wanted to get rid of this pain.

This is a commitment that I made to myself. The problem was still the same. The pain was there. It's been there for a year. But the mind-set changed.

So this morning I was doing my exercises in the pool. And I decided, you know what? Let me let me go and attack this problem. Because I could feel this huge knot on my thigh. So before I was working on my hip on my lower leg because this is where I got injured.

But I wasn't necessarily working on the thigh because I thought it was just the result of the other two. I think they're all related anyway because I've been working on the three of them. And so I massaged it for like a good 10 minutes and then it was gone. It was gone, man. Like, honestly, I can move sideways, I can bend, I can go backwards. I'm happy.

And here's the thing. If I had kept relying on someone else to come in, fix my problem, I'm pretty sure I still would have had a problem. That video that I watched yesterday is the reason why I decided to do that today. And this is how I fixed my problem.

This Is How You Get RESULTS

It's a life lesson. The life lesson is. Dude, you messed up. You lost a year. You've been suffering for a year because you couldn't be bothered to take matters into your own hands for something that's affecting you that bad. Right. If you really want that pain gone, then you need to do something that day in and day out.

So the lesson here is that you can transcribe that stuff to other things. I have done that in the past. I had an e-commerce store that I was working on. And one day I was like, you know what?

Let me take two weeks. And that's the only thing I will do. Then I started researching everything I needed to know about e-commerce, the best apps to install, how to convert better and stuff. The result was insane. I've seen the difference. So this is my lesson to you guys.

Don't rely on other people to come in, fix all your problems for you. And I've done that all my life. And I will stop doing this.

Frequently Asked Questions

What actually produces business results for a new solopreneur?

Daily output on revenue-producing activities: outreach, content, follow-up, and offer iteration. Skip the dashboards, the courses, and the planning sessions until you have shipped 90 days of consistent output. Results compound from repetition of two or three core motions, not from learning ten more tactics every week from new gurus.

How do you prioritize when everything feels urgent?

Tag each task with one of three labels: pays today, pays in 90 days, pays never. Spend 60 percent of the week on pays-today work, 30 percent on pays in 90 days, and almost nothing on pays-never. Most solopreneurs invert that ratio and wonder why revenue stays flat.

What is the fastest path from zero to first results?

Pick one offer, one audience, one channel. Reach 100 targeted prospects per week for 30 days through that single channel. Tighten the pitch from every reply. Two thirds of solopreneurs who run this 30-day sprint land their first paying customer before the month closes out.

How do you keep producing results once the initial momentum fades?

Treat the business like an engine: refuel it (new leads) before the tank empties, service it (fix the friction points) every 30 days, and avoid taking long breaks from the two motions that actually feed revenue. Lulls usually trace back to a paused motion, not to market changes.
