This is Steve Larsen, and you're listening to Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio, where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best internet sales funnels, and now, here's your host, Steve Larsen. All right, all right, all right. Hey. I'm in a car by my phone. I am obsessed with music, so I love sound quality, which is why I usually use a $200 mic to record my podcast. Hope you guys will forgive me. I actually just went to Russell's this morning. We are lifting together with the crew, and I'm hurting actually. I'm in a lot of pain. We're doing squats and I didn't warm up, so I'm feeling all those pops in my hamstrings. That was stupid. Anyway, hey, I hope you guys are doing awesome. I have got just a ton of messages lately. I want to thank you, but I also want to apologize. I'm 300 emails behind, real emails from you and 60 Voxes, another 30 Skype messages. People are somehow finding my phone number, calling me. I appreciate it, but I just physically am unable to answer all that stuff right now, but anyway... Russell and I were talking this morning. We didn't talk about this, but something popped into my mind. I remember growing up, I did a whole lot of construction. You guys probably didn't know that. I actually worked at Discount Tire for a little while during the winter months. It was totally freezing.   We would work 12 hours a day, no breaks. They'd give us hamburgers for lunch, and we'd grab ... It was so cold. Oh my gosh. You'd feel it down in your core, the kind of cold ... I grew up in Colorado, and it was the kind of cold where you breathe and it hurt your lungs to breathe just because the air was so freezing. You know what I'm talking about?... Anyway, super crazy. I ended up getting really deathly sick because of it, because our hands would be all greasy. They'd come in, they'd give us this food. It's not like we'd wash our hands. I'm sure I ate car grease and oil a couple times. There's no doubt that I did. Then after that I went and I did construction doing residential swimming pools. We built a lot of swimming pools for the Denver Bronco players. Pretty cool stuff. I got to meet a lot of their players and stuff like that. We'd go around and we'd build these sweet, just awesome, high end swimming pools. Sometimes I was part of the build crew and sometimes I was part of the cleaning crew. I'd come up later on and we'd do all the pool maintenance on them and stuff like that. A couple times ... Is it Moreno? I can't remember his first name, but on the Broncos player, Moreno. He almost shot me because I walked into his house or I walked into his backyard, which is usually what we did. We didn't knock. We just did it. He's like, "What? Oh, bro, I almost shot you." Anyway, kind of funny. Then I worked other ... All I'm saying is I actually worked at a plastic factory for a while, and we made M16 buttstocks and syringes. It was injection molding. It was really interesting. I did so many construction jobs and it taught me how to work. It taught me how to do hard stuff, stuff that sucked, which is good. You want to know how to do those things. I love what I do, but there are elements of it that are work, stuff that is really, really ... Let's see if I can shift. I'm driving my car. I drive a stick shift. Here we go. If you can't do the crappy part of the business, then you're going to fail because it's the crappy part, so I'm having a crappy part of it. Obviously, a good side and bad side. Anyways, one day, my dad brought me aside. My dad was an executive at IBM. He's a genius, man. He's the man. I'm working on his ... He does extremely well in the financial markets, just personally and so I'm helping him build a webinar right now, but anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. Anyway, he brought me aside. This is s

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.
