It wasn't on purpose, but there's a certain style of coaching that I like to live by. It’s certainly effective, but can make some people... not like me, ha!   I've never seen anyone make a million dollars who wasn't trying to.   After coaching thousands of people I’d be an idiot to not see patterns…   When I first started coaching at ClickFunnels everyone thought that I’d be teaching strategy. However, the truth is that getting MOST people to move forward with strategy takes a MASSIVE amount of work on their mindset. PERSONAL GROWTH MAT TIME   In One Funnel Away Challenge, I'm the guy who yells every day. BOOM! I yell a lot. I’m kinda NO BS. So I want to explain to you the difference between sympathy versus empathy, as it relates to my coaching.   Here are a couple of observations I’ve made from all my hours of coaching:   People often come with the expectation that I’ll just tell them to click a button and they’ll make millions! (Even though ClickFunnels is probably the closest to that of anything that's out there… that still NOT gonna happen.) People fight the shift they have to go through personally because it can feel like pain... pain is not the right word, but sometimes a shift can feel like pain.   You have to go through a shift. You have to uninstall crap in your head and reinstall NEW beliefs.   A lot of it comes down to shedding beliefs that we’ve been taught about money either from parents or other authority figures.   Success has MORE to do with your beliefs around money than the patterns or strategies I'm teaching.   I'm trying to prep your brain so when you hear me speak you don’t put up a wall ...or think, “Well that works for Steve ‘cause he's Steve.”   Man, I was NOT Steve three years ago.   Sales Funnel Radio has only been out for three years.   When I started publishing my acceleration just went through the roof. It was NUTS! That's why I keep telling all of you guys to freakin’ publish. It'll change your life.   If you feel yourself having a little negative knee-jerk reaction that you're not quite controlling to anything I say, then check yourself!   Sit back and ask, “Why am I having this reaction?” FOR EXAMPLE:   If I say, “Hey, please be a capitalist pig and get as rich as possible  because it gives you more ability to help people in this world...”   … I know that as I'm saying that I know people often feel this little knee-jerk reaction.   ( I know just because I work with tens of thousands of people )   ...but Stephen! I was taught this way. ...but that means that I have to experience personal growth in order to consume and believe that belief.   I'm NOT making fun of you. I just want you to be wary of the things that you're telling yourself.   That's the stuff that's keeping you back. That’s the stuff that you have to self-identify and be prepared to question:   “Oh my gosh, I have some false beliefs I didn't realize they were there.”   That's NOT easy to do. I know it's NOT easy.   GET OUTTA YOUR OWN WAY One of the major reasons why someone will stop their progress in a programs I'm teaching isn’t because what I'm teaching is hard…   *IT’S JUST NEW*   People stop because they hit a personal growth zone that their NOT expecting and it's uncomfortable.   So people start looking around for excuses, “Hey Stephen, this is really good... but it's just a lot of material!”   I'm like:   “Oh is that the excuse you're using to slowly back away from what I told you to do?” Is that the excuse you're using to back away and logically justify removing yourself from growth?   That's some fiery crap, but I say that stuff in my programs because people need to understand what's going on.   TRUTH   The NEW ways and methods that I teach are NOT any less true because you won’t find them in college textbooks or mainstream books and media.   Truth does not require consensus.   I heard Myron Golden say that recently. It's a great quote.   Truth does not require consensus!   … which is awesome. It's really good ne
