Boom, what's up guys? It's Steve Larsen. This is Sales Funnel Radio, and today I'm gonna talk to you guys a little about the book DotCom Secrets.   Now, before we cut over to intro which I love, I wanna share to you guys a little bit more about why this book is so important to me. That's what this episode is about.   I actually took the video that I filmed for bestmarketingresources.com. If you haven't checked that out yet, go do it.   Bestmarketingresources.com is the resource I created. It's the page I created to share with you guys all the things that I'm using to build my business.   There's only a few of us in my company and the reason why is because how a lot of these tools interact together back and forth with the way all the automation works.   Anyways, I wanted to share a little bit though about this book, DotCom Secrets. The reason why DotCom Secrets has been so powerful for me and the story behind it.   It is not just like I went and I just bought the book, okay? I actually wanna share with you guys the story behind it. How I read it... Where I read it... And what I did with it afterward - which I think is pretty unique. I know it's one of the reasons why I've been successful with this.   I really only read the book two times, okay? But it was such on a crazy depth that made it very very effective. So anyways, let's cut over the intro here   If you've not actually picked up this book... This book is better than my entire marketing degree. Just this one alone. Let alone, the rest of the education that ClickFunnels comes out with.   So anyways, let's cut over here and I'm excited to share with you guys the story behind my first time getting the book DotCom Secrets, thanks.   I spent the last four years learning from the most brilliant marketers today. And now, I've left my nine to five to take the plunge and build my million dollar business.   The real question is, how will I do it without VC funding or debt? Completely from scratch.   This podcast is here to give you the answer. Join me and follow along as I learn, apply and share marketing strategies to grow my online business using only today's best internet sales funnels.   My name is Steve Larsen and welcome to Sales Funnel Radio.   So in college, we were really poor. We were crazy poor. I kept spinning up all these little companies trying to get them to make money. It took me about 17 tries to really get it off the ground. It's funny cuz when I look back... meaning 17 actual businesses.   And it wasn't like, I was just kinda half-heartedly doing the businesses, I was full in. It was not uncommon for me to walk streets and trying to sell people on the street. I mean, I wanted it real bad.   If you're like me, I mean you want it. You want it real bad, okay? I was the kind of mentality, still am, where I would go learn something and I wanted to make sure I understood it, but I also wanted to make sure I wanted to try to make money as fast as I could as well.   I remember once I pitched the owners of Vivint. Vivint Home Security. Not the head honchos, but very very similar, very close for that regional area.   Anyway, it was an insurance company. There's a bunch of people out there too. A lot of pest control, a lot of door to door people. A lot of... And I just pitched people guys.   I didn't know what I was doing. I was pretty much breaking every single rule that you could even imagine. But, whatever, I was just running, because we were living on loans, student loans. I was in college. I was in the army.   You know I went to basic training. We had a kid. I was married. I mean already right there I was in a very different demographic place in life than a lot of people my age.   I wanted to make cash. I wanted to be a provider for my family. And I found out that few weeks into marriage that my wife was just eating just one meal a day behind my back. She was doing that because we had such little cash, she didn't feel like she could eat.   And it's kinda like crap
