"Are you courageous enough to take an honest look at your numbers? Love them or hate them, they are what they are. They're truth. Are you courageous enough to look at that truth? Are you responsible enough to do something about it?" – RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson from a 2015 Live Quarterly Meeting, RJon combines Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" principles with a direct challenge about facing your financial reality. Drawing from Hill's eight factors of persistence, RJon confronts law firm owners about avoiding their numbers and making excuses for poor business performance. He shares a personal story about how easily entrepreneurs slip back into scarcity-based thinking when faced with financial decisions. RJon explains why written budgets are crucial: they're created during moments of clear, strategic thinking and provide a roadmap to follow when stress or emotions might otherwise lead to poor business choices.

Key Takeaways:

1. Most entrepreneurs avoid looking at their financial numbers due to fear, which prevents them from building a successful business

2. Persistence in business requires definite purpose, which is impossible without a written 12-month budget as your roadmap

3. Start today because even an imperfect budget is better than no budget

This episode is an invitation to be courageous about your financial reality by creating a budget system that guides business decisions when pressures mount.

"Your footing is not solid enough yet in these concepts and understandings. With some practice, with some experience, when you start to see the results for yourself, your footing will become more sound." - RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson from a January 2015 Live Quarterly Meeting, RJon cautions law firm owners about the vulnerable period between learning a new skill and developing the solid footing needed to implement them successfully. Through a black swan metaphor, RJon shows how your success threatens others because it destroys the stories and excuses they use to justify mediocrity.

Key Takeaways:

1. People craft well-rehearsed stories and excuses to justify their lack of success

2. After learning a new skill, there is a vulnerable period where your footing isn't solid enough to withstand pushback from others

3. It takes months of practice and results before you can effectively help others without being dragged back down.

This episode will prepare you for the resistance you will face as you implement what you've learned without losing your footing.

"This is not the sexy stuff. This is not the stuff people go on social media bragging about... The vacations, the boats, the cars, the clothes, the domestic services, paying off all your debt, the beautiful house, the great lifestyle. It comes from this really boring, unsexy stuff. These are the causes and the only way it's going to get done is if it gets scheduled." – RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson, RJon confronts law firm owners about where actual success comes from. It's not the glamorous stuff you see on social media. It's the boring systems work that creates the causes for everything you want. Through a powerful inventory exercise, he reveals the difference between effects (revenue, vacation time, lifestyle) and causes (days spent working on marketing systems, sales systems, staff training).

Key Takeaways:

1. We live in an orderly universe where causes lead to effects and most people chase effects and never work on causes.

2. All the lifestyle benefits you want come from boring systems work that rarely gets scheduled.

3. If you spend more time complaining about problems than solving them, it is because you don't schedule time to work on them.

RJon delivers a reality check about what building a successful business actually requires.
