Description: What separates people who talk about success from those who actually achieve it? In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I break down one of my favorite short books of all time… A Message to Garcia by Elbert Hubbard. It’s a story that completely reframed how I think about work, entrepreneurship, and responsibility. This isn’t a book about tactics, it’s about character. It’s about becoming the kind of person who doesn’t need hand-holding, doesn’t need to be pushed, and doesn’t make excuses. The kind of person who simply takes the message, figures it out, and delivers. Key Highlights: ◼️The timeless principle from A Message to Garcia that every entrepreneur and team member needs to master. ◼️Why success has less to do with talent or opportunity, and everything to do with how you respond when no one’s telling you what to do. ◼️How this mindset applies directly to marketing, funnels, and leadership inside your business. ◼️The personal challenge I give every entrepreneur who’s tired of waiting for direction and ready to start executing. It’s so short, it will only take you a few minutes to read it… So, why not!? This message has shaped how I build teams, launch offers, and show up every day… And I think it’ll do the same for you.
