Moldova, Romania, and ClickBank — A Problem-Solving Journey

Starting over in Bulgaria reminded me just how growth happens. It’s all about facing new challenges and pushing past them, and that’s probably what many of you are going through right now, diving into a new world of online platforms, learning the ropes and stepping out of your comfort zones. But here’s the key, if you treat this journey like a hobby, it’ll stay just that, a hobby. Only those who take it on as a mission, who tackle each obstacle head on, will see real success. Today we’re talking about the commitment it takes to turn challenges into triumphs.

To be honest with you, like this experience of starting over in Bulgaria really reminded me of how growth happens, and this is probably something you guys are going through right now. You’re stepping into a brand new domain where you are learning the ropes and you’re encountering all sorts of different challenges that you’ve never encountered before. I know you’ve never encountered, you know, JVZoo, you’ve never encountered, you know, like Warrior Plus, or ClickBank or other platforms, and then so you’re learning to deal with all that stuff. And the same thing for me right now. I’ve never encountered Bulgarian immigration. I’ve never encountered their banking system. I’ve never done anything here. So every day there’s a new challenge coming up. The only difference is, in my mind, there’s a clear connection. It’s like a piece of string that connects whatever I’m dealing with here in Bulgaria to the well being and the future of my family. So I’m fighting with anything that’s coming up here. 

2:00

I’m fighting for my life, and I know the fight is worth it, because of all the different benefits that I’ve explained many, many times about my decision, but it might not be the same sort of attitude that you guys have towards this because, and I’m going to call some people out here, I see some of you treat this like a hobby, and it’s dude. It’s not going to work if you treat it like a hobby, it’s just not, you’re going to encounter challenges. You’re going to be forced out of your comfort zone. And if this is a hobby for you, if this is something that you kind of sort of want to do, and you’re not really committed to it, you’re going to quit eventually. You’re going to say, What am I suffering for? And you’re going to walk away. I know because I quit many hobbies before that required too much effort and too much learning. 

3:01

And you know, that’s why I believe that it’s only the ones who take this as a mission, who really commit to this as a purpose, who really can answer the question, why is this important to you? It’s only those people who will succeed. It’s only those people who become successful. On my trip that I just took, I took a four day trip to Romania. I actually met up with one of our coaches, Liviu. Some of you may know Liviu and his family. It’s the first time I met him in person since I first started working with him when he became a student in the List Building Lifestyle. And you can tell why the guy became successful. You can tell the attitude is just off the charts. The commitment levels are off the charts. You  know you talk efarming to him, and his lights light up. You know it remains so when, when you bring that sort of attitude to the table, it doesn’t, nothing will stop you. 

4:03

And I’ll give you a perfect example. So Liviu is actually from Moldova. It’s a small country near Romania, borders Romania and Ukraine. At one point it used to be Romania, but then Romania lost it. And I’m not sure exactly what happened there, but basically, either World War One or World War Two, they got sort of, you know, they got, sort of, it became their own little thing, their own country. But they speak Romanian. They use Romanian currency and everything. So it’s like, it’s like an extended part of. Romania and so many people who live in Moldova, they actually go to Romania all the time. They have Romanian passports as well. They have dual citizenship and all kinds of stuff. 

4:34

So Liviu encountered a problem early on, and the problem is that ClickBank, in its infinite wisdom, simply doesn’t work with Moldova. Now I don’t know why. I honestly don’t know why ClickBank doesn’t work with Moldova, but that became a challenge for Liviu. You can imagine the magnitude of the challenge when you’re simply not allowed into the network at all. So, you know what Liviu did? Do you think? You know, I’ll give you a few options. Let’s play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? A, Liviu cried his eyes out on the kitchen floor. 

B, Liviu said, you know, screw you. ClickBank. I don’t want to work with you anymore, and you know, just decided to avoid it altogether. Three, Liviu said, This business is too difficult, and I’m quitting. I’m going back to my job as a radio DJ or D. Liviu got into his car, drove to Romania and got his clickBank account in Romania with a Romanian ID, Romanian address and bank account. Obviously, he just went and solved a problem, you see, so he didn’t make it mean anything. He didn’t make it, you know, he didn’t take it as a sign that he shouldn’t do efarming. No, there’s a problem. He just went ahead and found the solution. Period, no drama. And this is the kind of attitude that I want you guys to have. This is the only sort of attitude that can lead to success, Period.
