SFR 175: My Student Stereotypes...

Boom! What's going on everyone? It's Steve Larsen. This is Sales Funnel Radio, and today we're gonna talk about student stereotypes.

 

I've 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.

 

What's up, guys? Hey, I've been excited for today. I wanna talk about a topic, you know it's...

 

Every evening my wife and I usually like to just sit and talk. And we'll sit and we'll talk, and talk, and talk.

 

Most of our dating, honestly, was talking. We would just talk for like three hours a night, every night for all of our dating and that was kind of it.

 

So anyways, we'll sit down and we'll just talk and we'll share with each other. We're good at that part of our relationship, which is a bunch of fun.

 

So anyway, we were sitting down the other day, we've got a little almost  three month old baby now, and we're playing with her and we're talking back and forth, and my wife says:

 

"Hey, what are, like, the biggest stereotypes you see in your students?" I said, "What do you mean?" She said, "What are the reasons that people do, or do not, go forward with the things that you're teaching them? Like, stereotypically though."

 

She's like, "Do baby boomers react differently to what you teach compared to millennials?" And I was like, "Yeah, actually they really do."

 

So I thought it'd be kinda cool to go through and share with you guys what I talked about with her because it was fascinating to see that.

 

#1: I freaking hate the millennial propaganda. Can we cut that crap out, alright?

 

Baby boomers, your parents complained about you too, alright?  Are we all good there? I'm just gotta get that off my chest. I hate that, I hate that: "Well you're a millennial, you can't focus." Alright, you can't use tech, so back atcha. Ya know what I mean?

 

Anyway, so I just wanna walk through this really quick, and just share with you guys a few of the things that I've seen stereotypically with my students.

 

Now, this is my own students - it's students I've had in the 2 Coma Coaching. My intent in sharing this... the only reason I want to share this is so that you can hedge yourself to not be one of these stereotypes.

 

So everyone raise your right hand right now, and be like, "Hey Steven, I, (state your name), will not get offended."

 

Don't get offended about what I wanna go through and share with you guys right now. I'm talking in massive generalities, 'kay? Cause I've seen a lot of things across the board.

 

And then, at the end of this episode, I want to share with you guys what I do to combat these stereotypes myself. I have my own routines. And some of my routines I didn't realize were my routines, you understand?

 

I didn't know, that I was literally creating my own solutions around some of these things. But I did and it's been working. And it's really awesome.

 

If you follow my Instagram, you already know what some of them are...

 

First of all, let's just set the stage here:

 

There has never been a time in the history of the entire world, where so much information and so many answers are prevalent and accessible with such a crossover with a lack of discipline. Mind-boggling.

 

There's so many answers out there. There's so many things out there that are already solved for you.  

 

Yet people don't know how to go and just look up stuff on their own on Google and YouTube and just learn something for 30 minutes. We're not a culture yet of self-teaching. And that's why those who can self-teach, just blow-up so much.

 

Number one, we've never been in a time period where so many, so much information is available, but there's such a lack in discipline personally with people.

 

There's lots of addiction out there now. There's lots, and that's not to say it wasn't there before but I mean, we live in a very stimulated society now. We live in a very stimulated community now, alright?

 

There's such a lack in discipline, daily routines. I'm not saying I'm perfect at it. But I try to have one. I try to live with intent day by day, by day.

 

There's such a lack in discipline, there's such a lack in just getting up and getting crap done regardless of how you feel about it. There's such a lack in people knowing that in order for me to get where I'm trying to go, there's work involved, right?

 

We get sold on this concept, "Oh yeah, I should get that, I deserve it." Man, that is bull crap. No one owes me anything. And I try and live like that.

 

I hate when people say, "Here get this product, you deserve it." It makes me wanna throw up and not buy their product, no matter how good it is.

 

When somebody says, "You deserve it," that's garbage. It is a lie. It's a lie of this generation. It is a lie of our communities now.

 

In my opinion, (which I believe is correct), no one owes you anything. You don't deserve anything.

 

And when I look at worlds that way, and when I look at my life that way...

 

The reason why I try and do that is if I think that "my customer owes me money, I deserve this success." That is freaking garbage. Try and do that. Try and leave. Try and do that and try and tell me how long you're in business. That's not true.

 

No one owes, nobody owes me anything. No one owes me a dime. No one owes me any kind of credit. No one owes me. I will tell you that you will relieve a lot of mental stress in your life.

 

And I'm stereotypically talking to the millennials right now when I say that. Cause I am one, okay? And I had to have a huge wake-up call with myself and say, "look, no one owes you anything. Nobody owes you anything. I am not deserving of anything. I need to work my tail off."  

 

Now I'm gonna walk around and I'm gonna try and work my face off.

 

It's kinda like what Will Smith says. He walked around, and he was, and he walked around like he was deserving of what this life had to offer. But he was not a ghost to knowing that he had to work for it. And I'm the exact same, guys.

 

Like man, I'm gonna run hard. I'm gonna run as hard as I can. I'm gonna try and do everything I can. I'm gonna try and live the best life I possibly can with the fullest, having the best of the best. Being the best of the best - and that's my mentality.

 

And, like, ya gotta fight to do that, right?

 

So nobody owes me anything, and when you think about that with like, "Hey there's so much information out there with such a lack of discipline in how to use it all.
