Description

This is how to remove noise in your head and keep high momentum in your business…   A few days before Funnel Hacking Live, Russell reached out and said, "Hey do you wanna speak for another 5- 10 minutes on one of the last days?”   He said,  “I want you to talk about your concept, what do you call it, where you just learn a just little bit at a time?" I was like, “Oh, I know what you're talkin' about…”   So I'm gonna walk you through my 5 STEP PROCESS that I use to stay focused and achieve my goals.   HOW TO STAY FOCUSED WHEN YOUR HEAD HAS OTHER IDEAS   First of all, you have to understand that my head moves very quickly and I have a hard time turning it off to go to sleep.   Sometimes, I have a hard time focusing on things, and when I do focus it’s a hyper-insane focus.   A lot the time, I pop music on 'cause it quiets my head, and then I get crazy focused with a magnifying glass kind of energy on the one task I'm doing.   About six-seven years ago, when I started trying to be an entrepreneur, one of the things that I had a really hard time with head noise.   You get noise coming from all different angles:   Internally noise from you trying to understand some new concept you've never heard of before that you know is crucial.   Self-doubt: I hope this works. I hope this is good. I hope this is the product.   But then, there's all this external noise too:   Friends and family who don't quite get what you're trying to do... “Is this the one that's gonna work?”   People who are actively trying to sway you from NOT doing your dream and your goal… “Maybe you should you get a proper job?”   Even if it’s only a handful of people, that noise can cause more head noise than everything else.   So there's noise, noise, noise, noise, noise all over the place, and it’s frustrating sometimes... and sometimes it's hard to move forward.   So to deal with my frustration and all the head noise, I developed  5 questions that I use to keep me on track.   I wanna teach you the process that I go through on a regular basis to reduce the noise in my head, gain insane clarity, and keep momentum high inside of my business.   It's an exercise that I encourage you to run through at least once every three to six months.   Some of it I do pretty much every day... but part of it, I make sure I come back to it every three to six months.   LEARNING LOOPS   This whole process actually started when I started beating myself up for still being broke   I remember I was riding my bike home from college one day. I still had a lot to learn, but I was saying things in my head like:   I know what I'd do in that guy's business.   I know exactly how I'd go handle that guy's business.   Why is his business like that?   … but, I was the guy who's broke; how hilarious is that!   So…   I started asking myself:     Dude, why are you still broke?       What is wrong with you?       Something’s gotta be wrong with YOU because you've been studying for two years and your wallet’s still pretty darn thin!       Why isn't it working?     I spent a long time trying to answer these questions... and a few things happened.   Number one, what I realized (right there on that bike) was that I was stuck in these learning loops.   I was actively learning, seeking and studying. I was learning A LOT, and I truly did feel like I knew what to go do in ‘someone else's business’ to increase their sales…   But I was still broke because...   I was learning, reading, and studying for the sake of feeling the semblance of motion, but NOT actually moving.   I was stuck in learning loops.   TIME TO BREAK FREEI want to teach you something that I think will really help you dramatically get clarity on what  you're trying to gain in your life.   The questions that scared me the MOST when I first started were:   Stephen, what do you want to do?   What do you wanna be?   What do you wanna have when you grow up?"   It was scary when people asked me that question, 'cause it felt so fina

My first 5 years in entrepreneurship was 34 painful product failures in a row (you heard me). Finally, on #35 it clicked, and for the next 4 years, 55 NEW offers made over $11m. I’ve learned enough to see a few flaws in my baby business… So, as entrepreneurs do, I built it up, just to burn it ALL down; deleting 50 products, and starting fresh. We’re a group of capitalist pig-loving entrepreneurs who are actively trying to get rich and give back.
