The Subconscious Mind in Business: This Book Changed How I Work Forever | #Success - Ep. 57


Listen Later

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I dive into a rare book I picked up for $75 called The Subconscious Mind in Business by Robert Updegraff… The same author as Obvious Adams. It instantly became one of my favorites. The book hit me at the perfect time… Right after I tore both my biceps and literally couldn’t work. Turns out, not working may have been the key.

I unpack how this book reframed the way I structure my workdays, why creative breakthroughs don’t come from forcing the issue, and how our subconscious beliefs shape the ceiling of our success. I also share stories from my own journey, from struggling to break six figures, to hitting plateaus at $1M, $10M, and beyond. And I talk about how each of those levels had less to do with tactics and everything to do with mindset.

Key Highlights:

◼️The six-hour workday model and how to use the final two hours for subconscious creativity

◼️Why success is 90% psychology, and the real reason most entrepreneurs stay stuck

◼️How proximity and your environment shape your subconscious identity

◼️The hidden ceilings you don’t realize are holding you back

◼️Why creativity often strikes when you finally stop trying to force it


This book reinforced something I’ve felt for years but didn’t have words for: when you stop working, the right ideas finally show up. Whether it was during my double-arm recovery or a late-night breakthrough on the couch, my biggest answers came when I stepped away from the desk. If you’re hitting a wall, the problem probably isn’t your tactics… It’s your beliefs.

AND BTW… If you want my notes from this book, including quotes, key takeaways, and how I’m applying them in my business, you can find it all here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠http://russellbrunson.com/notes⁠
