Description
"When Does The Hustle Actually Suck?"... Just do it. Make your dreams come true, so just do it. That's right. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best internet sales funnels. Now here's your host, Steve Larsen. Hey, what's going on guys. Hey, that was my little three year old. She obsessed with that Shia LaBeouf thing where he's like, "Just do it. Make your dreams come true, so just ..." She's like quoting it. She's walking around and she says it all the time. It's adorable. It's hilarious. There's this part of me that's like, "Oh my gosh. I'm so excited." I've never had any success without becoming a monomaniac about something. Just really obsessing, being all about massive volume in whatever the thing that I'm going for whether it's a physical goal, financial, personal development, spiritual, anything. Monomaniac, these sprints of like really high intensity focus is how I've done what I've done. When I see my little girl do that, I'm like, "Yay, she's got," but then there's other side of it. There's this other side of the coin that I don't think is talked about as much. Gary V who's at the Viral Video Launch a little bit ago, and he talked about ... He's on stage for a solid two hours it seemed like. He did a great job obviously. It's Gary V, but someone asked him ... I don't remember exactly what they said, but the question had to do with some kind of life balance. That's a question a lot of people ask. It's a good question to be asking for sure. I do get a little surprised at how many people ask it. I guess how frequently it gets asked. I remember Gary V said like, "Look." Something to the effect of, "You don't want to wake you when you're 37 years old and find out that what you've been doing the last 15 years you hate. You've built something that you don't want to be a part of or you've built something that literally sucks so much of your time in your life away that you really don't have time to live outside of your business." It's been kind of an interesting experience going back and forth on that. I mean I've worked my butt off for the last five years. I mean specifically over the last five years. Really it's been like eight, but really the last five years has been just high pressure sprinting, very, very, very little rest. Just go, go, go, go, go, go, go. I get that a lot from my dad. My dad was an extremely successful businessman. He's actually a software architect. He was an executive at IBM. He took on huge roles over at American Express. He was all over the place and set a lot of industry standards for the software world. My dad's the man. I learned how to work because of him and specifically because of yard work and the way he interacted with me on that. You know what I'm talking about. I talk a lot about that in the early episodes of this show. Anyway, it was a little bit ago. I've been working like crazy, just doing tons of stuff. Working, working, working. One morning I was leaving and I was like, "Hey guys, I'm going to go to work." My little girls had just asked like, "Hey." They're saying, "Are we going to go to the park?" I was like, "No, I got to go to work." My little two year old like sucked to my leg and was looking up at me with like the biggest saddest puppy dog eyes I've ever seen. I was like oh crap. It kind of rips your heart out a little. Gosh, dang it, am I doing this for the right reasons or is it my own? I don't know. I'm really aggressive. I'm extremely ambitious obviously. Chances are if you're listening to this podcast, you are also. I mean usually podcast listeners are go getters. Anyway, the whole point of this podcast, I've had a lot of things in my mind lately for how I want to make sure that I'm crafting my life. I recently have had the experience ... I'm not sure if you guys read the book "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller. "The ONE Thing" by Gary Keller. Fascinating book. I looked at that book like many entrepr
