4. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would
it be?
5. What’s the craziest thing you have ever done?
Exercise 65. Watch the video 1.7 and answer the questions.

And then I joined (стал участником) the NFL club. You know what that is.
No friends left (никаких друзей не осталось). No, I won’t take my call
anymore, right. And I also tried mail-order business (бизнес – покупки по
почте). So, a lot of these business failures (неудачи) and I could tell you, it
boils down to (сводится к) one thing – all these ideas that I had most of time
because I thought it was a good idea. Here’s what I believe in – every single
damn (чёртова) problem I have in my life right now started off (началась) as
an idea. It’s not as an idea that hey you know I could make some money doing
that I could make a few bucks (заработать немного) doing this and no it was
such a bad idea. I didn’t have experience, I didn’t know how to analyze
(анализировать) the market. Is there a need for what I sell? And quite frankly
(довольно честно) I didn’t have the ability (возможность) to execute
(выполнить). So, the idea was fine but my execution (исполнение), just like
most of you watching this video, the execution was lousy (паршивый). You
do not have or you haven’t developed (развил) a capability (способность) or
the skills (навыки) to execute the idea with excellence
(совершенно/идеально) 13 failures. Now, wouldn’t you agreed (разве вы
бы не согласились бы) most people would have given up (отказались бы)
by this point I couldn’t afford (позволить) to give up because I had to take
care of (заботиться) my mom and because of all these failures I was a hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in debt (долга). So, said to myself “Hey, I already
hit the rock bottom (достиг дна) it could not get any worse that this. I’m
already in debt. I’m not making enough money, I have to make it. And this is
th
14 that’s when I made it and that’s when I made a decision (решение) to learn
a skill set (набор навыков).
And the very first skill set, high income skill that I learned was copywriting.
The ability (способность) to use my written words to sell to market, so
learning the art of copywriting, the art of communication, the art of closing
changed my life. It’s only after I learned that my business started to work.
That’s the distinction (различие) because it doesn’t matter what it is that you
do. You may be thinking while here’s my product, here’s my service, I’m in
the digital marketing business, I’m in the e-commerce business, right, I’m
selling whatever product, I’m in the financial service…It doesn’t matter that’s
your product, that’s your service, that’s not your business. You are in the
business of marketing that product or service and unless (если только не) and
