My first 5 years in entrepreneurship was 34 painful product failures in a row (you heard me).Finally, on #35 it clicked, and for the next 4 years, 55 NEW offers made over $11m. I’ve learned enough to see a few flaws in my baby business…So, as entrepreneurs do, I built it up, just to burn it ALL down; deleting 50 products, and starting fresh. We’re a group of capitalist pig-loving entrepreneurs who are actively trying to get rich and give back.

I totally did.    I carried around a little black book to jo...

SFR 235 - Focus And Systems... 19.04.2019

A while little ago, in my Facebook group , someone hit me up with a question.   The question was:   “Stephen, would you have made $1 million faster if you’d just focused on ONE business?”   ...the question shocked me.   Because ... *I ONLY EVER FOCUS ON ONE THING*   So, I started thinking about how it can look like I’m doing MORE than I actually am... and it has EVERYTHING to do with how I focus a...
