101: Build Your Own Railroad Tracks...

MANY people find the reason they aren't making it has nothing to do with the opportunity they're in. The real issue they've never been able to pop out their own plan and have confidence in themselves enough to follow through (ouch - truth moment)...   I wanna teach you guys a little bit more about how I chose the next step that I needed to be focusing on…     I'm actually in Temple, Florida right now but I live in Boise, Idaho. I grew up in Denver, from the age of 5 till I left the house.    And grew up in Denver (Little Sand Colorado) and had a ton of fun growing up there. I love golf courses! I actually don't golf that much so it's kinda funny for me to say that...    But we grew up on the back nine of a public golf course and coming back to this place in Florida always reminds me of growing up.    I'm actually in this building where we’re doing a speaker training. I'm attending one… I'm not giving it.    I'm at a really interesting spot now where I just focus on trying to learn from specific experts… from their specific talent.    I don't wanna go learn from somebody who is not the absolute best at what they do.    It's not the purpose of this episode but I've ranted on here about it before…   If someone isn't rich, stop listening to them about money advice.    CUT IT OUT!   If someone isn't ripped, don't listen to them about trying to get healthy.    It's the same thing with MLM. If somebody is saying, "Hey do the X, Y and Z", and they're broke… Then don't listen to them!   It sounds like common sense but it's hard to do at first, especially if you've not been careful on who you listen to in your circle.    I'm here for that exact reason.    FOCUS ON WHAT YOU LOVE   I love speaking on stage. Those of you guys who have been to one of my events know that I LOVE speaking on stage.    And I'm not bad at it… But I wanna get better.    So I'm here learning from one of the absolute best! He's absolutely incredible. His name's Myron Golden.    I'm VERY careful on those that I chose to listen to.    Hopefully you guys enjoy the four part series we did.    The four part series was going through and creating a product funnel for your MLM - It is really powerful stuff.    That’s really is how a lot of big guys do it and that is exactly what we teach.    Hopefully you’ll take some of it seriously or just choose one method to focus on…    I don't often share the trainings on a podcast, but I thought it'd be powerful for you to see it. If you are interested, just go join Secret MLM Hacks, go to secretmlmhacks.com.    I thought I'd break it up and share with you how we sell using the internet.    The future of MLM involves the internet. I've got some really aggressive things that I wanna share with you coming up soon.    If you haven't checked out the mlmfunnel.com, just go check it out. FAIR WARNING: The video might be a little bit aggressive.    Watch what I'm doing in it though.    One of the biggest questions I get after teaching something is, "Stephen, what do I do next?" and I understand what they're asking and I get it.    When you start learning any new topic… It involves a series immersion in that topic. So while you get immersed in the topic (which is great and you should) there comes a point where you know enough of the framework to just move forward.    STEPHEN, WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP? You don't need to be immersed anymore and success is no longer based on getting another book. Or another:    Course CD   Whatever    If you don't know a lot of these things, then just immerse. Deep dive on whatever topic is you're learning.    Eventually, the highest leverage activities you can do have nothing to do with getting another book.    Slowly, what starts to happen is the next highest leverage activity. That's the way to look at it!    It's not how to become a master in X topic or whatever it might be. Ask yourself this question, “How can I have the fastest leverage? How can I gain the most leverage in my life?”    Pretty soon, you'll start to realize that getting another book, another course, another CD, whatever that is. It has nothing to do with it…    It's actually might be hindering your progress.    Once you have the baseline understand, start asking the question, “How do I get more leverage for what I'm moving towards?”    That’s gonna be a different answer than you going and getting another book.    What it starts to turn into is... It's not a fun answer... But it's freaking action!    Just do it!    I wanna give you guys a very simple thing that I use to do that personally.    HOW I FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT   I left my job about a year and a half ago and did this stuff full time. It's been awesome!    Real quick, you start to realize that, “Oh crap, I'm the one that comes up with my own checklist everyday.”    Nobody's giving me a To-Do-List. Nobody saying, "Hey, Stephen, this is what you gotta get done today".   Nobody's looking at me and saying, “Hey, did you noticed this, this and that?”    You gotta go and look at those things yourself.    Not only do you need to go and fix this or that, or maybe have more clarity on the product… You also gotta do the normal fulfillment of the product.    No one is giving me a To-Do-List.
