Bill Harrison is a licensed therapist working in the Chicago area. He specializes in men's issues, and works primarily (although not exclusively) with creatives/people in the arts. Bill has also spent many years working as an artist himself. Prior to devoting himself to mental health, he was a successful gigging musician. Our conversation follows Bill's journey from traveling troubadour through his own mental health journey and ultimately deciding to help others for a living. We also talk a lot about Bill's book, "Making the Low Notes: A Life in Music", (also here), and how writing has helped him give voice to his feelings.

Welcome back to 3 More Questions, an episode series where we continue the conversation that we started last week with our featured guest. On this episode, we're talking about our interview with Bill Harrison, the former Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase. Listen in to hear even more about why it's important to prepare the next leader. If you want a simple plan to improve as a leader, you can get one here for free — https://howleaderslead.com/plan

Have you ever worked for somebody who's taken you under their wing and believed in you enough to pave the way for you to take his or her job?  Let me tell you, throughout my career, I've had the great fortune of this happening to me multiple times.  But here's the sad thing, I don't think this is all too common of a story. Too many leaders have a “you work for me” mentality and the last thing they want is for you to take their job. So they actually hold you back. So what do we do about this? Well, we can learn to be the kind of leader who can identify top talent and do whatever is required to help them succeed in their careers, so that they're prepared to take your job or another another job like it. On this week's episode, you're going to learn how to do this from one of the all-time greats. Bill Harrison is an example to follow in how he prepared the next leader of JPMorganChase (Jamie Dimon).

This week we have the privilege of listening to Bill Harrison share with us the importance of surrendering our life and ways to Christ. The post Surrender appeared first on Lifesong Church White County.

KCSB's former student general manager Cyrus Godfrey recalls how he responded when the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office called for the station to stop operating during the Isla Vista student uprising of 1970. And, part one of KCSB's Lekha Sapers' interview with Bill Harrison, who founded KCSB in his dorm room at UCSB in 1962. It's part of our KCSB 60th Anniversary Alumni Reunion celebration.

KCSB celebrates 60 years on the air! Here is part two of KCSB's Lekha Sapers' interview with Bill Harrison, who founded KCSB in his dorm room at UCSB in 1962. It's part of our KCSB 60th Anniversary Alumni Reunion celebration.

Bill Harrison founded KCSB (Navajo Radio) in his dorm room in 1962 when he was a student at UC Santa Barbara. Now, as KCSB FM celebrates 60 years on the air, KCSB's archives coordinator Lekha Sapers speaks with Harrison, to find out how he did it - and what he thinks of KCSB FM today.

Coleman Mills, an architectural designer with Harrison Design, and John Tatum with Cloudland Station join the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to share the journey and inspiration behind the show cottage at Cloudland Station. Mills and Tatum join hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick for the All About Real Estate segment. A picturesque mountain and valley community, Cloudland Station sits in northwest Georgia in the Chattanooga Valley on the east side of Lookout Mountain. According to Tatum, the unique vision behind Cloudland Station was to create a community of families of all generations to come together and enjoy the outdoors. The community features plenty of conservation property with waterfalls, caves, lakes and more! The project, originally named “Stories Reimagined,” began with a river that acted as an anchor for the development. In the beginning, only a few properties sat along the river but soon formed an entire community that is an integrated part of the gorgeous mountain and valley scenery of northwest Georgia. “We believe architecture is an important part of the aesthetic,” Tatum said. “We don't want to do anything but tread very lightly and add beauty to it.” With 20 completed homes, five are currently in development and about a dozen are in the planning stages. A mountain village, still in development, will act as a clubhouse for the community with surrounding swimming holes reminiscent of older and simpler times. The theme of the community is to “take time for the simple things” and enjoy the natural surroundings. Amenities in the community include foosball, a puppet theater converted from an old barn, ping pong, an outdoor amphitheater and a sweet shop that was formerly an old mill.  “We really try to breathe life into the notion of taking time for the simple things,” Tatum said. Coleman Mills joined the project to add another beautiful brushstroke to the Cloudland Station canvas. Founded by Bill Harrison, Harrison Design is a renowned architectural firm celebrating 30 years. Harrison was extremely passionate about teaching young people and passing on the tradition of design. The role of architects in his eyes extends to the ability to impact a client's life and the landscapes in a way that exceeds their own lives. The Mountain Laurel, the designer show cottage at Cloudland Station, is the last project commissioned under Harrison's name. Along with the delightful partnership that blossomed between Tatum and Mills, the show cottage organically developed into an authorless and blended design with Gothic and European influences overlaid against the natural, available materials locally sourced during construction. Up the hill from the home sits a natural springhouse, a structure commonly found in Europe. Springhouses traditionally acted as community refrigeration and cooling structures due to the low temperatures of the water flowing beneath them. This is a perfect example of the design elements prominently featured throughout the community. The development represents the stories of immigrant families traveling with traditions and building styles that adapted by using the nearby resources. “It's a blending of a lot of different bloodlines to make one authentic piece of architecture,” Mills said when discussing the interplaying elements of the cottage and springhouse. The vision behind the community comes alive when passersby question whether the structures are older buildings versus newer constructions, according to Mills. The shared belief amongst the team speaks to the authenticity and integrity of the project, whether it stems from locally sourcing materials or modeling builds after traditional structures. The show cottage sits on 1,800 square feet and comfortably sleeps 12 people with the option for additional sleeping space in the springhouse. Another unique aspect of the build is the endless possibilities found in the spacious springhouse.

This week Carly covers a murder house - would you live in one? What if it was cheap? This specific murder house is in Mississauga Canada. Three deaths occurred in this house over a period of five years. First, Bill Harrison died of what seemed to be natural causes, then his wife Bridget died from falling down the stairs, but after a closer look the death was ruled suspicious. The last family member to die in the house was Bill and Bridget's son, Caleb. His death screamed foul play, and this caused the police to take another look at all three deaths. Listen to find out who's behind the murders!Dani shares some facts about sexual assault awareness month, taking place now in April, and covers the infuriating case of Brock Turner. We were all shook when he only received 6 months for sexual assault, but what about his victim? She remained anonymous for years, but has now released her identity - Chanel Miller. Her powerful victim impact statement (which she reads in full here) went viral and she published the memoir "Know My Name". She is an accomplished writer and did not let the sexual assault define her. April is sexual assault awareness month (SAAM) which has two main goals: (1) to raise visibility about sexual assault and (2) share how it can be prevented. To learn more, visit the national sexual violence resource center.If you are a victim of sexual assault, the following resources are available:United States·      Call the national sexual assault hotline free, confidential, 24/7 at 800-656-HOPE·      Chat online on the RAINN website Belgium·      Chat online with the Federal Sexual Assault Referral Centers in Dutch or French ·      Visit SOS Viol (French) for more resources ·      Call the sexual assault hotline at 0800 98 100 ·      If you're a child victim of sexual violence, visit the Nu Praat Ik Erover website Follow us on social media - IG, Twitter, Facebook - @SlayorSurvive.Please also subscribe, rate, and review us!Check out our website www.slayorsurvive.com

Unemployment is typically looked upon as a bad thing. Bill Harrison teaches his clients to look on unemployment as an opportunity to discover what they would love to do and to find a career that is perfectly suited to their talents, strengths, and passions. "You have a unique set of talents, abilities, experience, your personality type that no one else it the world has." When you know your strengths you can be confident in what you're doing whether that's working on a project at your job, negotiating your next contract, or starting your own business. Bill shares why he encourages everyone to work in their strengths and not to waste any time on trying to build their weaknesses. Bill Harrison is a Spiritual Entrepreneur, Life Coach, Award Winning Author, and Public Speaker. His books “Spiritual Entrepreneurship: Fulfilling Your God-Ordained Destiny” and “TRAVELING SOLO, but NEVER ALONE: Surviving and Thriving After the Death of a Spouse” are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and through his website spiritual-entrepreneurship.com.

So listen here to find out how you can be on the lookout for your own level 10 opportunity.  ---Transcript--- Hey everybody, this is Russell Brunson. Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I hope you guys enjoyed last episode on finding your level 10 opportunity. So this is going to be the exciting conclusion of that presentation that I gave at Stephen Larsen’s OfferMind. And it’s not the whole presentation, it’s the intro. I talked about 30 minutes about finding your level 10 opportunity. And I think it’s a mindset thing because so many people need to get, you know, they hear me talk a lot of times about One Funnel Away, you’re one funnel away. And they’re waiting for this funnel that’s going to change everything. No, no, no, no, you have to multiple funnels. Your first funnel, your second, your third, you keep doing these funnels until you find your thing. And that’s what I wanted to share with you guys. So that’s kind of the context, and with that said I hope you guys enjoy the conclusion of this presentation about how to find your level 10 opportunity. I want to fast forward to 8 or 9 years ago, 7 or 8, I don’t know. I’m so bad at years. Some people are like, “In 1996” I can never remember. I was in Kenya, that’s all I remember. So I was in Kenya, and it was my wife and I had a whole bunch of marketing nerds, and most of them had wives too, and this was back before there were too many female entrepreneurs, I don’t think we had any female entrepreneurs on that trip. And the last time we went to Kenya we had like half of them that were female entrepreneurs, which is a huge testament to the females. I love it. It makes me happy every single time I see that. But back then we were all hanging out and I remember because we did this long ride inside of this little jeep, and it was my wife and I and then 2 or 3 other couples, and all the dudes were talking business and all the wives were annoyed. So we got to this stop where we had lunch and then all the wives were like, “Do you guys mind if we go in this jeep over here, and you guys go in this jeep because we don’t want to hear you talk anymore.” We’re like, “But it’s like a 4 hour drive.” They’re like, “Exactly. We do not want to go for 4 more hours with you guys.” We’re like, “Oh, I guess.” So we jump in another jeep, and I’m sitting next to this guy named Bill Harrison, anyone here know Bill? A couple of you guys. Okay. Bill is probably one of the smartest marketing dudes I’ve ever met. So for context, he’s married now, but when I first met him, he was probably, I don’t know, 50, never been married. I might have got that wrong. But he was obsessed with marketing, and his house, I saw pictures of it. You go in his house, imagine a bachelor pad, but he’s rich, so it’s a big bachelor pad, and every room from floor to ceiling is marketing and sales books. He didn’t have bookshelves anymore because he can’t handle it. Every single room is just piled with books. In fact, he used to send me boxes of books as gifts. He’s like, ‘Hey Brunson, I just sent you a bunch of books.” And I’d show up and there’s like a microwave box with like 500 books in it. And I’m like, “Are these good?” He’s like, ‘Oh, they’re all good. I’m not going to send you crappy books.” I’m like, “This is amazing.” So Bill is one of the smartest dudes I’ve ever met when it comes to marketing and sales, like obsessed. You guys think I’m obsessed, he’s that to the next level. He’s awesome. Anyway, so we’re sitting in this jeep geeking out about all sorts of stuff, having a bunch of fun. And we’re like 2 ½ hours into this bumpy jeep ride talking and he tells me this story that just, man, it rocked everything, my whole world. And I’m probably I don’t know, like 6 pages into funnel building at the time. I’ve done a million different things, launched a bunch of stuff, had some successes, had a lot of losses, but as a whole we were doing really well. And we’re sitting there in this jeep and we’re talking and he says, “Man, it’s so interesting.” He’s like, “I feel like I’m one of the best marketers in the world. Russell, I feel like you are too. We’re some of the best, most passionate people who geek out about this the most, but do you know what the biggest problem is?” I’m like, ‘What?” because I would love to know. I’m doing well, but I would love to do more. And he’s like, “We have the wrong opportunity.” I’m like, “What do you mean?” He’s like, and he goes on, “I have this friend, who he is not a good marketing dude at all. He’s maybe like a level 2 skill set of being a marketer. But he got into this opportunity with this big company and he was able to apply his level 2 skill set into a level 10 opportunity. They just took their company public for over a billion dollars, he cashed out and made insane amounts of money, because he had a level 10 opportunity.” And he’s like, “If I look at this, as I see in this jeep, I feel like I’ve got a level 10 skill set, and my company, while it does really, really good, I feel like it’s like a level 3 or maybe a level 4 opportunity, with a level 10 skill set. So because of that I’m only able to get to a certain level. The same thing is true for you dude. You’re at a level 10 skill set, but you’re looking at level 2 maybe level 3 opportunity, that’s why you’re stuck at this thing.’ I was like, oh my gosh. I’d never thought about that. And I was a little frustrated and I was like, well crap, what’s my level 10 opportunity. I don’t even know what that is, or what it could be. I felt like all the stuff I was doing was good. And if you look at the, you know, I look at all the people through my lens and I’m doing better than all the people around me, like my friends, my family, stuff like that, I’m making more money. But man, what is actually possible? And I didn’t know. I remember coming home from that trip and just thinking, well, what’s my level 10 opportunity. I didn’t know, but I didn’t stop everything like “Well, I’m just going to wait until it comes here.” I was just like, okay, now I know that I’m looking for a level 10 opportunity. And I want to make sure that as I, when I find it that I’m ready and prepared for it. If they would have handed me Clickfunnels 8 years ago and like, ‘Here, run this thing.” guess what would have happened? I would have crashed it to the ground and burnt it and it would have been a really bad, painful, public humiliation in front of everybody. I wasn’t ready for it. But now I knew that I have my eye set, I’m going for a level 10 opportunity, but until that happens I’m going to move forward. I’m going to do the next one and the next one. I’m going to try this one and this one and this one and this one. And hopefully in that journey I’m going to have faith as I’m running as fast as I can, I’m looking for opportunities, I’m trying to find stuff and figure things out. And the right people are going to come into my life. I’m going to be introduced to people, I’m going to find opportunities, and maybe this one’s not the big success, but I’m going to open the door for the next one and the next one, and maybe I meet someone through the deal. I don’t know what that’s going to be, but I’m going to run with faith as fast as I can and just do funnel after funnel, after funnel. But I’m going to have my eyes open, looking for what is that level 10 opportunity. So that’s how it started. So from that point forward I started looking. And as I started looking, these weird opportunities started coming into my path. And some of them weren’t really pleasant. One of them I built a huge company up and the whole thing burnt and crashed to the ground. And that was really painful. Firing 80 people overnight is not fun. And I’m not going to get deep into the pain of that story, but it was bad. And I thought like, man, this whole thing I don’t even have a level 0 opportunity now. I got nothing. But I kept moving forward, and as I was moving forward I was trying thing after thing, after thing, and I remember in this process of trying a bunch of stuff, I remember buying this website because I was like, “This has got to be a level 10 opportunity.” So I bought this site, it was called championsound.com. Anyone here ever heard of Champion Sound? No, because it never, one person. Because it’s one of the ones on the list. It didn’t do anything though. I bought it off flippa.com, I tried to launch it, it didn’t work, we had some people sign up and started buying it. The software crashed, it was like an email and text message auto-responder for bands. I was like, “Gall, I thought this was going to be a level 10 opportunity.” Maybe like, I’m doing this thing. And in the pain of this thing not working I was trying to find a developer to help me fix this software. I went to, what was it back then Upwork, or Odesk, I can’t remember what. I was trying to find someone to hire to fix the site, and I was trying thing after thing and I couldn’t find anybody to fix it. And finally I was just frustrated like, “Alright, this isn’t going to work.” So I sent an email to the host and said basically, “Shut down the site, it’s not going to work. I don’t want to support the people, it doesn’t work, I can’t fix it.” And then I was walking out the door to leave, and as I was walking out the door I had this thought. And the thought I heard for a second it said, “There’s probably someone on your list who could fix this for you.” I’m like, my list? My list isn’t that big. There’s not people who are developers. It’s just like, but I’m like, alright. I try to listen when I hear voices like that. I’m like, alright. So I walked back into the office, I turned my computer back on, I send an email out and it just says, “If you know Ruby on Rails, I’m looking for a partner.” And I just kind of told them the story, “I got a site, it’s not working, it’s broken. I’m going to throw it away, but if you know Ruby on Rails, and want to be partner, email me back.” I sent it out there and an hour later I get an email from this dude in Atlanta who looks like he’s younger than me, which is kind of funny, except he’s got a beard. And I click on it and read this thing, he’s like, “I’m a Ruby on Rails developer, and I’d love to look at it.” So I send the login, he logs in, I go to bed and wake up in the morning and it’s like, “all the issues are fixed. Here you go.” And that was Todd Dickerson, who came into my world. And what’s crazy, Todd, it’s fascinating because Todd came into my world at the bottom of everything, broke, broke. Out of money, nothing left. And he came in and he came in a weird spot and he’s like, “I want to come work with you.” And I’m like, ‘I can’t pay you.” And he’s like, “That’s cool. I’ll just work for free.” And he worked for free for over a year. Coming in because he was just like, same thing, looking for an opportunity, looking for an opportunity. So we’re like a year into this relationship, friendship, working on different projects. And we went to a Traffic and Conversion event together and I could tell, I remember how broke we were because we shared a room. This is probably 7 years ago now, so we’re sharing a room and that night we’re walking around hanging out and I see Bill Harrison and we bump into each other again, and we start talking. And somehow in this conversation the whole level 10 opportunity thing came up again, which was kind of random because it was just like a freak thing. We talked for like 15 minutes and we left, and it reminded me of this thing in Kenya that happened a couple of years earlier. I was like, oh my gosh, I forgot about that. So that night I told Todd, I was like, “Look, this is the deal.” I told him the idea that I just told you guys about a level 10 opportunity. And Todd’s like, ‘Dude, what’s our level 10 opportunity?” I’m like, “I don’t know. Do you know?” He’s like, “No.” I’m like, “Crap, we gotta figure this thing out.” And then we’re like, “Oh my gosh, I know exactly what it is. It’s this thing and it’s going to be called, WPUndies.” And we got the word press logo and we got someone to design it with underwear, tighty-whitey’s on it and we were freaking out excited. And Todd started coding this thing, and it’s one of the things on this list down here, I’m not sure which page it is. But we’re like, ‘Dude, this is the big idea. It’s going to be this thing that you put on your word press site like underwear that helps protect it. And a third of all the websites in the world are on word press. It’s going to be insanely big.” So we’re so freaking out on our level 10 opportunity we start working, we start building this thing, and we’re doing it. And as we’re building it we find out that word press sucks because you plug in a thing, and then you have like 8000 different hosts, and somebody shifts the hosting over here and over here. And after we got the thing out there, we’re trying to support like 5 customers, we’re like, “Oh my gosh, this is the worst business we ever were in. This is not a level 10 opportunity.” We start freaking out and we’re not sure what to do and Todd’s flying back to Boise to plan, “Okay, what’s the next thing we’re going to do?” And on the flight over, Todd lives in Atlanta, he’s in the airport at like, I don’t know, I was still asleep here in Boise. It was the same day, some of you guys have heard this story before, it was the same day that leadpages got $5 million dollars in funding. So Todd’s jumping on a plane, reads this article and then he forwards it to me. And he jumps in the air, he’s in the air for 4 hours flying to Boise. And he’s flying, he’s just livid because Todd is the most genius developer in the world, and he knows that leadpages sucks. And he’s like, ‘I could build this today.” So I wake up in the morning and I read the article, I’m like, ‘Leadpages? That software sucks, we could build this today.” He shows up into the office, he walks in little Todd is all angry. I’m like, ‘What?” He’s like, “Leadpages got $5 million. What are they doing that we’re not doing?” I’m like, ‘I don’t know.” He’s like, “I could build Leadpages today. Do you want to build it.” I’m like, “Yes, we’re gonna build leadpages, we’re going to take them out.” We’re all excited. “This is our level 10 opportunity. We’ll get $5 million in funding too, it’s going to be awesome.” So we’re so excited, and then Todd asks this question, “Well, if we’re gonna set it up from the ground up, do you want to make it better than leadpages?” I’m like, “Heck yeah.” And he’s like, “What do you want?” and I’m like, “Oh my gosh, are you serious? Let me show you.” And I started showing him like all of these, “I want to be able to do this by myself without you guys because you guys are way too… I want to be able to do this. I can’t do Photoshop and Front page and all these people to do this.” And that started this journey onto Clickfunnels. Let me show you guys real quick, if you pull my slides up, level 10 opportunity, and this is kind of a side story, before somewhere in this journey, actually before I met Todd, it wasn’t like Clickfunnels was a unique idea. I wasn’t the first person to think like, “We should build software that makes it easy to build funnels.” I wasn’t the first person. In fact, this was in 2005, this was the first time I tried to build it and we called it Clickdotcom.com that would have been confusing huh. I would tell people that, “So Click.com?” “No, clickdotcom.com” they’re like, “Wait? What?” I’m like, “No, it’s…” Anyway, so this was the first time I was like, ‘If we build this, it’ll be huge.” So that was here in Boise, I ended up hiring 6 developers. I was selling all this crap and I was trying to take all the money to build this. I thought this was going to be huge. 2005, so this was like almost 10 years earlier we had tried this. And this was all different pages, if you look at it it’s kind of funny because I think we called it, it was before sales funnels, I think we called them sales processes and sales flows before we ever called them funnels. But we had built the whole software, we designed it and tried to build it. It’s funny because I talk about how if I would have got Clickfunnels 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. And its what happened. We tried it 10 years before I had Todd. I didn’t have the right people. And it crashed and burned. Again, we spent probably 2 or 3 years trying to build this, ran out of money during that whole crash, we gave up on it. That’s why when I did meet Todd and I asked him, can we build it? Part of me was like, “I’ve tried it before. I know other people who have tried it. I had a lot of other business partners, not business partners but friends who sat down like, and tried it as well. It just didn’t work. It was a good idea that just wasn’t simple to do. But we met Todd and then Dylan and made it possible. So this was 131 funnels later, this is the night that we started on the Clickfunnels project. It’s the only picture I have from that night. I wish we would have done more. So this is Todd here on the right hand side, some of you guys know Todd. On the left hand side is Dylan, and Dylan is no longer part of Clickfunnels, but he was one of the original cofounders with us. Dylan’s the one who built the original editor. So if any of you guys like the editor, that’s Dylan’s brainchild. He had spent 6 or 7 years prior trying to build a website editor for himself, we started building Clickfunnels we partnered together and plugged it all into one super system. But I wanted to share this story with you guys because as soon as we were aware of a level 10 opportunity, our eyes started looking for it, but we didn’t stop. I want, hopefully that gives some, a lot of you guys out here, especially ones who you’ve been doing this for a year or less than that, or a couple of years, who just  haven’t hit it yet, or you’ve had marginal successes. Don‘t stop. The key is not waiting for the big opportunity. “I’m waiting for my Clickfunnels.” It’s do your thing as fast as you can and keep doing it, and doing it, and keep doing it. And as you keep doing it, you’ll get better and you’ll get better, and eventually it will get worthy enough that when a level 10 opportunity shows up you’ll be prepared for it. That’s the key. So don’t get upset like “Oh my funnel didn’t work. This thing didn’t work.” It’s going to be tough, there’s going to be frustrations, things aren’t always going to work the very first time, or the third time, but if you keep doing it and keep doing it, for me it was 131 times before I hit my big thing. And I’m hoping for you guys, you get it a lot faster than that. But even if you don’t, it’s worth it. I’m now, man, 16 years in this business, and it’s funny because I get people all the time they’re like, “You guys just came out of nowhere.” And it’s like, yeah. 16 years, that’s a long time I’ve been focusing on this. But it’s something I’m obsessed with and just kept doing it, and kept doing it and kept doing it. And when you keep doing your thing, the opportunities appear, they show up, and if you’ve done the work you’ll be prepared and ready for them.

Little Jerry deals with the stress of being 'Man of The House' by taking up a very bad habit. Gerald tries to convince Jerry to not be so stressed about his situation, but also realizes that he too is going through some stressful times, and borrows Little Jerry's habit. Sometimes even kids can be put in situations where stress feels like it could drive them to bad habits. I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders when I was a 10 year old kid, and I wish I would have enjoyed it more. Now, I always feel like that. It does help to talk to someone, anyone, another adult, therapist, uncle, or friend. Remember, you aren't alone in this world, and try to have some fun - especially when you are a kid! For resources on kid related stress visit https://theimagineproject.org/ they have some great resources. Special thanks to Bells the Name for being the voice of my grandmother. Jerry & Gerald is performed by me, Jerry Pancake, and my wife Jen Pancake. Production by SoCool Media. Music by Bill Harrison of The Stone Bridge Studios. Jerry and Gerald tells the story of 10-12 year old Jerry and his family in the 1980's through the eyes and ears of Gerald, his mailman - who happens to be Jerry's older self. Jerry faces many problems in his young life, starting when his parents divorce. I would say most of the subject matter is PG, but we will warn you before any episode that could be potentially upsetting for youngsters. This podcast is not only therapy for me, but hopefully will help both kids and parents see the other's perspective and use laughter as a pretext for communication on sensitive subjects.

My Dad died. So this is a tribute to him, and I apologize for the audio quality on the A side, but also I don't really give a fuck. My father was a great storyteller, and we have the one about Oprah in a porno, and the infamous Chrysler Cordoba told from a bar in Fort Wayne Indiana.  Christopher Robin and I do a Fishbowl of The Blues Brothers, which my Dad was an extra in, about 10 hours before he died. This was a really tough episode for me to get through, but it's a tribute to my father, and I hope somewhere that he's listening.  I love you Dad. I hope you are hanging out with Belushi and talking about old times.  Songs from The Blues Brothers Soundtrack, Booker T and The MG's, and James Brown.  Call or sext us at 708-928-5015, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.  Special Thanks to The Stone Bridge Studio, and Bill Harrison for production of this season.

Pancake and Robin seems to know a lot about this one, and extend the episode to match the awesomeness of the 1982 Amy Heckerling classic. They discuss the merits of Phoebe Cates's tits, and Mike Damone's five point plan.  On the B side, Yolo Monte Cristo joins Pancake and Robin for a new bit called, 'Back to The Grinder', the crew discusses their experiences with online dating and read from potential mates profiles on dating sites.

Beer is for breakfast, drink or be gone! In this extended episode of The SoCool Podcast; Pancake, Robin, and Yolo are back with the 'For the Publicity' game. There are some tough choices made; as Pancake and Yolo choose to fuck dead Burt Reynolds for entirely different motives, Pancake makes a completely offensive joke about Peter Dinklage (he's sorry), and Christopher Robin takes it one step too far with headless Muammar Gaddafi. On the B side, the boys tackle another gay Tom Cruise movie, 1988's Worst Picture, Cocktail, and Pancake suspects that there might be some issues with the new computer system after someone (Robin) spills Chardonnay on it.  This episode is sponsored by Tweaky McGee Auto Tint, with songs from The Fabulous Thunderbirds and The Beach Boys.  Call or sext us at 708-928-5015, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.  Special Thanks to The Stone Bridge Studio, and Bill Harrison for production of this season.

Find out what Russell means when he says you need to find a vehicle that will take you where you want to go. And see how having a Voltron team will take your business to the next level. So listen below to find out how Russell is able to be so successful. ---Transcript--- Good Morning everyone, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car.  Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you're from, wherever you're at right now in your life. I am on my way to the Clickfunnels Certification Program, so I'm excited. We've got about 20 or so Clickfunnels people who are all going to be there. The way we have certification is setup, we kind of learned something the last time we had certification, the first one. We sold it, we had like 100 people come, they all came at once and it was really hard to facilitate and manage, the weirdest thing is, I think it was a 4 or 5 day event, we had everything planned, and I was excited because I was going to be like, this….and as soon as we got there we realized, one of the first question I asked was, “Who here has never logged into Clickfunnels?” and half the audience raised their hands. Are you kidding me? And then the other half was super advanced. We had this really weird thing where I had to be teaching beginner stuff, while keeping stuff interesting. Anyway, we had the event, it made it kind of hard, we had some ups and downs and I had 2 yahoo's that shouldn't have been in the room that made it more difficult on me. It's one of those fun things you get when you jump right into something. But as a whole it went really good. One of our biggest takeaways afterward was, we need to have people go through a pre-program before the show up, so that way everybody is on the same page. We've had about 100 people who were eligible to come to today, only about 1/5th of them, 20 of them or so, have finished all the homework assignments up to today so they were able to actually come. It kind of makes me smile, dude, everybody, you all should have been here. We thought we'd have closer to 50 people. But there is the human nature. And some people obviously couldn't make the dates of the event and stuff like that. That's kind of what's happening. So I'm heading in there today. What's cool is now we've got Norah, who is amazing. A thousand times cooler than me, she is actually running the whole certification program now. I get to come in and talk this morning about some cool stuff and then she'll be running the rest of the event which will be pretty awesome. Anyway, I've got a lot of cool  things that I've been mapping out this morning trying to figure out what could be the best thing I could give everybody and make it inspirational and motivational, but also the  tactful things you need to go and implement and stuff. So the presentation called the Anatomy of the Successful Funnel Consultant, and it's pretty cool so I'm going to share a couple of things that are on the top of my head as I'm driving in. I can't go deep on everything because it'll take me 2 hours. Some of the fun things, one of the things that I'm going to talk about, that I think is interesting is just the level of the opportunity that you're in. I've done a podcast on this back in the day, for the hardcore fans who've listened to everything, if not, you should go binge watch it all, and catch up. Anyway, it talked about level 10 opportunities, it's interesting a couple of my friends here that go to church with me, so we moved to a new area, which is a little more affluent, bigger homes,, bigger things, so it was kind of like, when you go to our church, the way Mormon church's work, we have things called Wards. Wards are all the people geographically close to you. So in our Ward, all the people who live close to us all go to the same ward. So it's interesting, you go there and everyone there is like a doctor, or dentist, or an entrepreneur, or a blogger, or a network marketer, or a builder, they're all business type, or people that…higher income type people. They're just kind of cool. One of the doctors, I don't know, I love the doctors, one of them is usually funny. We went and hung out with him and his wife and they were talking about how, “In this ward, in this area, we're the, the doctors are like the welfare, because you have all the entrepreneurs who are making crazy money and the doctors seem like the poor ones.” Which is kind of a funny thing. Then one of the other doctors I was talking to, he kept asking me, “I don't understand what you do? I went to school forever, I cut people open, I operate on them and do all these things and you're obviously making way more money. I don't understand it.” We got into this debate and he's like, “How are you that much smarter than me?” and I was like, “Are you kidding me? You think I'm smarter than you? Dude, you're a freaking doctor, you cut people open. They could bleed out on your table, you're dissecting arteries and gluing them together and doing all sorts of….you are way smarter than I've ever dreamt of being. It's not even a remote conversation. Put two of us in a room, ask anybody. You're way smarter than me. The only difference right now, the reason why I'm able to make more money than you is not because I'm smarter. I would argue that day and night, that you are way smarter than me. The only difference is the vehicle that I chose to apply my knowledge in has the ability to make more money. That's it. I probably spent as much time studying marketing and sales as you have doctor stuff, that's the official term, the only difference is the vehicle.” That's what's so cool about this whole, I was thinking through this with these funnel consultants, is just you're going to have to put in time and effort and energy and work, it's not just a slam dunk, easy thing over night. It's not hard, like going to college. You got to go for 6 years and hope to figure something out. You can figure it out in a couple of months, but there's effort that goes into it, but the power in it, is the fact that the vehicle you've chosen, has the ability to generate lots of money. People will pay $10, 15, 25 thousand more for a sales funnel. The vehicle you chose is the right vehicle. Now it's like, I get really good and focused on driving that vehicle and doing a good job with it. So for all you guys, and I know a lot of you guys listening in, aren't funnel consultants and things like that, what makes for me at least, makes me think about the vehicles we choose. Is the opportunity you're in right now with your business, is it the right vehicle. Is it the vehicle that has the ability to get you where you want to get in life. If not you should go get a different vehicle, because there's tons of them. There's so many opportunities. That's the biggest problem for me. There's all these vehicles people are handing me and I'm like, “oh, I could drive that one, or I could drive that one. They're so cool. All of them are so cool.” But when you find the right vehicle it can grow exponentially. In the podcast I did a little while ago, I was talking about one of my friends, named Bill Harrison, we were in Kenya together 3 or 4 years ago. He was talking about this concept, he said, I think the company that he owns right now, I don't know their numbers, but I think he said, “We do somewhere between 5 and 10 million bucks a year. “ If you know this guy, he's one of the few people who geeks out on marketing as much, if not more than me. I haven't been to his house, but one of my friends was at his house, and he's a single dude, he said the whole house is like, every room is book shelves from floor to ceiling. You walk in and see the chair and there's like a stack of 30 books on each side of the chair. This dude is hard core and he told me, “I feel like I have a level 10 understanding of marketing in sales, but I feel like I'm stuck in a level 3 opportunity. I can do whatever I want, but I can't scale past this size, because this is the size of the vehicle that I decided to choose. I've had friends that don't know that much about marketing and sales, and they're not that good at business, but they walked into a level 10 opportunity and they've sold companies for hundreds of millions of dollars.” So part of it is looking at, it doesn't matter how good you are at the thing if the thing is only this big. If the vehicle is not bigger than that, you are stuck at your limit and you can't get any bigger. My friend who's a doctor, it doesn't matter how many lives he's saved, he's kind of limited. The vehicle is what it is. He's going to make a lot of money, but that's the size of the vehicle. So we have to look at what vehicle are we putting ourselves into. That was a big conversation, when I talked to Bill about this; I was like, “Wow.” I look at myself like, what's the opportunity I have. I'm looking around and the best companies in the world are doing what I was doing at the time, we're making maybe $10 million a year. There's also the stress and liability and all sorts of things associated with that. I was like, I don't like this. I'm looking at this vehicle and looking around. I don't really like this vehicle very much. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in it. So I had to consciously change my vehicle and I look at it now, and my vehicle is Clickfunnels and this funnel stuff that's associated with it, and that vehicle the sky's the limit, at least in my mind right now. This year we'll probably do between 3 and 5 times of our best year ever in the past, it's just, it's not that I got much smarter, it's not that I'm working harder, it's that I stepped into a better vehicle. So it's something to consciously think through. What's the vehicle you guys have selected for your life, for your business? Because your vehicle can only go as fast as it's able to go. So if you take that and strategically pick the right vehicle first off, second off strategically become level 10 at your skill set, you have that double mix, then it gets crazy. Then you can start writing your own paychecks all day long for the rest of your life. That was kind of one cool thing I'll be talking about that I think is really, really cool. What else? What else do you guys want to know about? I'll give you the next point. This relates to everyone. I may have talked about this. I'm doing so many little publishing content in a lot of places and I can't remember everything I say. So if I ever repeat myself, please forgive me. But if I ever repeat myself, it's because it's essential for you to hear it twice. There you go. One of the guys in the mastermind, Henry, who is a designer and a super stud and just someone who I love and respect, he talked at mastermind. He was talking, do you guys remember that cartoon, Voltron? It was like Voltron, and Thundercats, and later on Power Rangers. Similar concepts, right? Where there was like 5 superheroes, and they go and fight bad guys, but every once and a while the bad guy gets too strong so they have to morph together into this super thing to become Voltron, which is the head and arms and legs, it's these 5 people coming in to one super person, who they can now go and beat the bad guy.  So what Henry said that was kind of interesting, “When I first got started out here I was kind of a superhero, I was good at my thing, but my thing wasn't complete. It was part of a whole. I was going out there and I was doing good at my thing, but I was missing other parts. I'm a really good designer, but I was missing strategy and traffic and execution and testing and these other pieces. What I had to do is I had to become Voltron. I had to assemble my team of people that have the superpowers that I don't. I started assembling that team. As soon as I had my Voltron team, I was able to take over the world.” And I think his first year he did $600,000 after he assembled his team. So for all you guys, a big piece of that is, think about that, if it's Voltron or Power Rangers, it doesn't matter, pick one of them for the analogy. But the key is, it's time to start building that out. I need this person and this person. Start figuring that out. Because all of us want to be the owners and think we're geniuses and all that kind of stuff, but the reality is, okay however good you are, you're not good at everything. And even if you are good at something, there's probably people who are better or should be spending time in it. For me, I think about my level 10 opportunity, the only way I was able to step into that level 10 opportunity was by partnering with level 10 people who are also level 10 opportunity. They became my Voltron. I can be the best salesman, marketing dude in the world, but if I don't have a cool product to sale, what am I going to do? Same thing, I look at Dylan and Todd, who are the co-founders of Clickfunnels, Dylan who has been making amazing stuff from the beginning of time, but he needed a marketing and sales guy. Todd is building amazing things, but he needed that. So it's like, when we brought our powers together, we've got Dylan doing the front end stuff, Todd doing the backend stuff, me doing the marketing and sales, and from there we've brought in other people as well and built our own Voltron, inside of a level 10 opportunity. The sky's been the limit. There's some analogies for you that I hope help. One cool thing about an analogy, that we learned at Inner Circle from Darin Stevens, he talked about how metaphors and analogy's speak to the subconscious mind, which is kind of cool when you start thinking about it. The more that I learn about persuasion and speaking more, I understand the subconscious mind. And this is funny for me, because I don't care about politics, whoever wins…..I don't know, my belief pattern is, if you're religious at all, there's some really good books that have been written by people who are inspired that tell us how things are going to end, and we know it's not going to end good. It'll eventually become really, really good, but we gotta go through some really, really bad first. So it's inevitable, I don't care whether it's Hillary or Trump, to me it does not matter. We're going to go through a bunch of crap, and we know how the story ends, so it doesn't matter to me. So I'm not a big person that cares about politics at all, outside of the fact that I love watching the sales and the techniques behind what's happening. So anyway, Trump just did this whole speech last week, totally just ripping on Hillary. It was like, the greatest speech of all time, in my humble opinion. Because he was……it was just awesome. The way he speaks to the subconscious mind is awesome. He never……he always is associating labels with people, all the time. It's never, “This is my opponent, Hillary Clinton.” He's like, “Hillary the criminal, Hillary the scam artist.” He's just so shady, but he uses these words with the name so our subconscious mind starts linking these two things together, which is so powerful and so crazy and so cool. It's just fun to watch. I don't know if he's going to win or not, again I don't really care. It's entertaining to watch and watch his language patterns. We were talking at the inner circle meeting about, for persuasion, people want to be really good at speaking. You've got to learn how to speak at a third grade level. If you look at good copy, the best copywriters, if you look at their sales letter, if you take a look at them, they're written at a third grade level. When you go above third grade, that's when it gets too complex, you lose sales. So it's all about simplicity and dumbing things down, which is kind of cool. Anyway, there's websites you can go and take a sales letter run through and it'll say what grade level it's written at. So people took Donald Trump's speech and ran it through, a bunch of speeches, and he's speaking at a third grade level. So he's speaking correctly, which is amazing. Anyway, a lot of cool stuff. With that said, I think the moral to the story as I  get closer and closer to the hotel… Man, I got 20 minutes before it starts. I always plan incorrectly. I thought this road would move faster, but there's tons of traffic, so I hope I'm not late to the event. One time we had an event here in Boise, I was driving and I got a ticket on the way and I ended up showing up 15 minutes late to my own event, which was super embarrassing, so I hope I make it there in time. Whoa, I almost just killed the car. Too many things happening at once. Alright, so what was I saying. So my moral of today's lesson, that I wanted you to kind of think through was, first off figuring out the vehicle that you want to pitch your tent in. What's the vehicle you're going to be using? Because if you pick the wrong vehicle, you're stuck. But if you pick a vehicle where, let's say you're a doctor, there's nothing wrong with that. If you're happy in that vehicle, that's awesome. I was listening to Gary Vaynerchuk the other day, and he was talking about, “I'm not speaking to people who are content. If you're content playing video games and eating cheerios all day, good for you man. If that's the vehicle you picked and you're happy there, you should be happy, that's awesome.” I wish I was better at being fulfilled. There's a Tony Robins talks about the science of achievement, and then the art of fulfillment. Science of achievement, science is very step by step, so any of us achieve anything in life can figure out the science. There are the steps to go and achieve this thing. Then the other side, is the art of fulfillment. So how do we become fulfilled? That's not a science, that's a way harder, more complicated thing, especially for entrepreneurs, to feel fulfilled because we're always wanting and seeking more, and trying to get more. So kind of like Gary Vaynerchuk, if you're fulfilled, good for you man. Don't listen to anything I'm saying, because if you're fulfilled and happy, that's awesome. Good for you. But if you're not, it's probably the vehicle that you're in. You're sitting in, I can't even think of a bad car, what's a crappy car? You're sitting in a Volvo and you want to drive 100 miles an hour, it's probably not going to happen, that thing's going to break down. But if you're in a Volvo and you're like, “Dude, I just want to drive around my town.” Done, if you're happy there, don't worry about changing the vehicle. But if you're not happy that what you got to work out, change the vehicle. Then the big part of the change the vehicle, often times, maybe you can't drive it by yourself. So you gotta start building out your Voltron team. So those are my two big takeaways, hopefully for today for you guys. Change the vehicle and build out your team of superstars. So that's what I got. Anyway, I'm going to bounce. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for listening, this is an 18 minuter. You get long sessions when I'm not driving to my office. We're moving to a new office that's like 3 minutes away from my house if I'm walking, actually it's a little bit longer than that. But still, you guys may get really short Marketing In Your Cars. I'm going to start walking so I can talk for 5 minutes, which would be awesome. Alright, with that said, appreciate you all, have an amazing day. I'll talk to you guys soon.

If you’re not happy with your opportunity…change the vehicle. In today’s episode Russell talks about finding a vehicle that is able to take you where you want to go. He also discusses finding your superhero team that can turn into Voltron and take you to the next level in your business. Here are some fun things to listen for in this episode: Find out why Russell isn’t as smart as his doctor friend, but manages to make way more money. Find out what Russell means when he says you need to find a vehicle that will take you where you want to go. And see how having a Voltron team will take your business to the next level. So listen below to find out how Russell is able to be so successful. ---Transcript--- Good Morning everyone, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car.  Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you’re from, wherever you’re at right now in your life. I am on my way to the Clickfunnels Certification Program, so I’m excited. We’ve got about 20 or so Clickfunnels people who are all going to be there. The way we have certification is setup, we kind of learned something the last time we had certification, the first one. We sold it, we had like 100 people come, they all came at once and it was really hard to facilitate and manage, the weirdest thing is, I think it was a 4 or 5 day event, we had everything planned, and I was excited because I was going to be like, this….and as soon as we got there we realized, one of the first question I asked was, “Who here has never logged into Clickfunnels?” and half the audience raised their hands. Are you kidding me? And then the other half was super advanced. We had this really weird thing where I had to be teaching beginner stuff, while keeping stuff interesting. Anyway, we had the event, it made it kind of hard, we had some ups and downs and I had 2 yahoo’s that shouldn’t have been in the room that made it more difficult on me. It’s one of those fun things you get when you jump right into something. But as a whole it went really good. One of our biggest takeaways afterward was, we need to have people go through a pre-program before the show up, so that way everybody is on the same page. We’ve had about 100 people who were eligible to come to today, only about 1/5th of them, 20 of them or so, have finished all the homework assignments up to today so they were able to actually come. It kind of makes me smile, dude, everybody, you all should have been here. We thought we’d have closer to 50 people. But there is the human nature. And some people obviously couldn’t make the dates of the event and stuff like that. That’s kind of what’s happening. So I’m heading in there today. What’s cool is now we’ve got Norah, who is amazing. A thousand times cooler than me, she is actually running the whole certification program now. I get to come in and talk this morning about some cool stuff and then she’ll be running the rest of the event which will be pretty awesome. Anyway, I’ve got a lot of cool  things that I’ve been mapping out this morning trying to figure out what could be the best thing I could give everybody and make it inspirational and motivational, but also the  tactful things you need to go and implement and stuff. So the presentation called the Anatomy of the Successful Funnel Consultant, and it’s pretty cool so I’m going to share a couple of things that are on the top of my head as I’m driving in. I can’t go deep on everything because it’ll take me 2 hours. Some of the fun things, one of the things that I’m going to talk about, that I think is interesting is just the level of the opportunity that you’re in. I’ve done a podcast on this back in the day, for the hardcore fans who’ve listened to everything, if not, you should go binge watch it all, and catch up. Anyway, it talked about level 10 opportunities, it’s interesting a couple of my friends here that go to church with me, so we moved to a new area, which is a little more affluent, bigger homes,, bigger things, so it was kind of like, when you go to our church, the way Mormon church’s work, we have things called Wards. Wards are all the people geographically close to you. So in our Ward, all the people who live close to us all go to the same ward. So it’s interesting, you go there and everyone there is like a doctor, or dentist, or an entrepreneur, or a blogger, or a network marketer, or a builder, they’re all business type, or people that…higher income type people. They’re just kind of cool. One of the doctors, I don’t know, I love the doctors, one of them is usually funny. We went and hung out with him and his wife and they were talking about how, “In this ward, in this area, we’re the, the doctors are like the welfare, because you have all the entrepreneurs who are making crazy money and the doctors seem like the poor ones.” Which is kind of a funny thing. Then one of the other doctors I was talking to, he kept asking me, “I don’t understand what you do? I went to school forever, I cut people open, I operate on them and do all these things and you’re obviously making way more money. I don’t understand it.” We got into this debate and he’s like, “How are you that much smarter than me?” and I was like, “Are you kidding me? You think I’m smarter than you? Dude, you’re a freaking doctor, you cut people open. They could bleed out on your table, you’re dissecting arteries and gluing them together and doing all sorts of….you are way smarter than I’ve ever dreamt of being. It’s not even a remote conversation. Put two of us in a room, ask anybody. You’re way smarter than me. The only difference right now, the reason why I’m able to make more money than you is not because I’m smarter. I would argue that day and night, that you are way smarter than me. The only difference is the vehicle that I chose to apply my knowledge in has the ability to make more money. That’s it. I probably spent as much time studying marketing and sales as you have doctor stuff, that’s the official term, the only difference is the vehicle.” That’s what’s so cool about this whole, I was thinking through this with these funnel consultants, is just you’re going to have to put in time and effort and energy and work, it’s not just a slam dunk, easy thing over night. It’s not hard, like going to college. You got to go for 6 years and hope to figure something out. You can figure it out in a couple of months, but there’s effort that goes into it, but the power in it, is the fact that the vehicle you’ve chosen, has the ability to generate lots of money. People will pay $10, 15, 25 thousand more for a sales funnel. The vehicle you chose is the right vehicle. Now it’s like, I get really good and focused on driving that vehicle and doing a good job with it. So for all you guys, and I know a lot of you guys listening in, aren’t funnel consultants and things like that, what makes for me at least, makes me think about the vehicles we choose. Is the opportunity you’re in right now with your business, is it the right vehicle. Is it the vehicle that has the ability to get you where you want to get in life. If not you should go get a different vehicle, because there’s tons of them. There’s so many opportunities. That’s the biggest problem for me. There’s all these vehicles people are handing me and I’m like, “oh, I could drive that one, or I could drive that one. They’re so cool. All of them are so cool.” But when you find the right vehicle it can grow exponentially. In the podcast I did a little while ago, I was talking about one of my friends, named Bill Harrison, we were in Kenya together 3 or 4 years ago. He was talking about this concept, he said, I think the company that he owns right now, I don’t know their numbers, but I think he said, “We do somewhere between 5 and 10 million bucks a year. “ If you know this guy, he’s one of the few people who geeks out on marketing as much, if not more than me. I haven’t been to his house, but one of my friends was at his house, and he’s a single dude, he said the whole house is like, every room is book shelves from floor to ceiling. You walk in and see the chair and there’s like a stack of 30 books on each side of the chair. This dude is hard core and he told me, “I feel like I have a level 10 understanding of marketing in sales, but I feel like I’m stuck in a level 3 opportunity. I can do whatever I want, but I can’t scale past this size, because this is the size of the vehicle that I decided to choose. I’ve had friends that don’t know that much about marketing and sales, and they’re not that good at business, but they walked into a level 10 opportunity and they’ve sold companies for hundreds of millions of dollars.” So part of it is looking at, it doesn’t matter how good you are at the thing if the thing is only this big. If the vehicle is not bigger than that, you are stuck at your limit and you can’t get any bigger. My friend who’s a doctor, it doesn’t matter how many lives he’s saved, he’s kind of limited. The vehicle is what it is. He’s going to make a lot of money, but that’s the size of the vehicle. So we have to look at what vehicle are we putting ourselves into. That was a big conversation, when I talked to Bill about this; I was like, “Wow.” I look at myself like, what’s the opportunity I have. I’m looking around and the best companies in the world are doing what I was doing at the time, we’re making maybe $10 million a year. There’s also the stress and liability and all sorts of things associated with that. I was like, I don’t like this. I’m looking at this vehicle and looking around. I don’t really like this vehicle very much. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in it. So I had to consciously change my vehicle and I look at it now, and my vehicle is Clickfunnels and this funnel stuff that’s associated with it, and that vehicle the sky’s the limit, at least in my mind right now. This year we’ll probably do between 3 and 5 times of our best year ever in the past, it’s just, it’s not that I got much smarter, it’s not that I’m working harder, it’s that I stepped into a better vehicle. So it’s something to consciously think through. What’s the vehicle you guys have selected for your life, for your business? Because your vehicle can only go as fast as it’s able to go. So if you take that and strategically pick the right vehicle first off, second off strategically become level 10 at your skill set, you have that double mix, then it gets crazy. Then you can start writing your own paychecks all day long for the rest of your life. That was kind of one cool thing I’ll be talking about that I think is really, really cool. What else? What else do you guys want to know about? I’ll give you the next point. This relates to everyone. I may have talked about this. I’m doing so many little publishing content in a lot of places and I can’t remember everything I say. So if I ever repeat myself, please forgive me. But if I ever repeat myself, it’s because it’s essential for you to hear it twice. There you go. One of the guys in the mastermind, Henry, who is a designer and a super stud and just someone who I love and respect, he talked at mastermind. He was talking, do you guys remember that cartoon, Voltron? It was like Voltron, and Thundercats, and later on Power Rangers. Similar concepts, right? Where there was like 5 superheroes, and they go and fight bad guys, but every once and a while the bad guy gets too strong so they have to morph together into this super thing to become Voltron, which is the head and arms and legs, it’s these 5 people coming in to one super person, who they can now go and beat the bad guy.  So what Henry said that was kind of interesting, “When I first got started out here I was kind of a superhero, I was good at my thing, but my thing wasn’t complete. It was part of a whole. I was going out there and I was doing good at my thing, but I was missing other parts. I’m a really good designer, but I was missing strategy and traffic and execution and testing and these other pieces. What I had to do is I had to become Voltron. I had to assemble my team of people that have the superpowers that I don’t. I started assembling that team. As soon as I had my Voltron team, I was able to take over the world.” And I think his first year he did $600,000 after he assembled his team. So for all you guys, a big piece of that is, think about that, if it’s Voltron or Power Rangers, it doesn’t matter, pick one of them for the analogy. But the key is, it’s time to start building that out. I need this person and this person. Start figuring that out. Because all of us want to be the owners and think we’re geniuses and all that kind of stuff, but the reality is, okay however good you are, you’re not good at everything. And even if you are good at something, there’s probably people who are better or should be spending time in it. For me, I think about my level 10 opportunity, the only way I was able to step into that level 10 opportunity was by partnering with level 10 people who are also level 10 opportunity. They became my Voltron. I can be the best salesman, marketing dude in the world, but if I don’t have a cool product to sale, what am I going to do? Same thing, I look at Dylan and Todd, who are the co-founders of Clickfunnels, Dylan who has been making amazing stuff from the beginning of time, but he needed a marketing and sales guy. Todd is building amazing things, but he needed that. So it’s like, when we brought our powers together, we’ve got Dylan doing the front end stuff, Todd doing the backend stuff, me doing the marketing and sales, and from there we’ve brought in other people as well and built our own Voltron, inside of a level 10 opportunity. The sky’s been the limit. There’s some analogies for you that I hope help. One cool thing about an analogy, that we learned at Inner Circle from Darin Stevens, he talked about how metaphors and analogy’s speak to the subconscious mind, which is kind of cool when you start thinking about it. The more that I learn about persuasion and speaking more, I understand the subconscious mind. And this is funny for me, because I don’t care about politics, whoever wins…..I don’t know, my belief pattern is, if you’re religious at all, there’s some really good books that have been written by people who are inspired that tell us how things are going to end, and we know it’s not going to end good. It’ll eventually become really, really good, but we gotta go through some really, really bad first. So it’s inevitable, I don’t care whether it’s Hillary or Trump, to me it does not matter. We’re going to go through a bunch of crap, and we know how the story ends, so it doesn’t matter to me. So I’m not a big person that cares about politics at all, outside of the fact that I love watching the sales and the techniques behind what’s happening. So anyway, Trump just did this whole speech last week, totally just ripping on Hillary. It was like, the greatest speech of all time, in my humble opinion. Because he was……it was just awesome. The way he speaks to the subconscious mind is awesome. He never……he always is associating labels with people, all the time. It’s never, “This is my opponent, Hillary Clinton.” He’s like, “Hillary the criminal, Hillary the scam artist.” He’s just so shady, but he uses these words with the name so our subconscious mind starts linking these two things together, which is so powerful and so crazy and so cool. It’s just fun to watch. I don’t know if he’s going to win or not, again I don’t really care. It’s entertaining to watch and watch his language patterns. We were talking at the inner circle meeting about, for persuasion, people want to be really good at speaking. You’ve got to learn how to speak at a third grade level. If you look at good copy, the best copywriters, if you look at their sales letter, if you take a look at them, they’re written at a third grade level. When you go above third grade, that’s when it gets too complex, you lose sales. So it’s all about simplicity and dumbing things down, which is kind of cool. Anyway, there’s websites you can go and take a sales letter run through and it’ll say what grade level it’s written at. So people took Donald Trump’s speech and ran it through, a bunch of speeches, and he’s speaking at a third grade level. So he’s speaking correctly, which is amazing. Anyway, a lot of cool stuff. With that said, I think the moral to the story as I  get closer and closer to the hotel… Man, I got 20 minutes before it starts. I always plan incorrectly. I thought this road would move faster, but there’s tons of traffic, so I hope I’m not late to the event. One time we had an event here in Boise, I was driving and I got a ticket on the way and I ended up showing up 15 minutes late to my own event, which was super embarrassing, so I hope I make it there in time. Whoa, I almost just killed the car. Too many things happening at once. Alright, so what was I saying. So my moral of today’s lesson, that I wanted you to kind of think through was, first off figuring out the vehicle that you want to pitch your tent in. What’s the vehicle you’re going to be using? Because if you pick the wrong vehicle, you’re stuck. But if you pick a vehicle where, let’s say you’re a doctor, there’s nothing wrong with that. If you’re happy in that vehicle, that’s awesome. I was listening to Gary Vaynerchuk the other day, and he was talking about, “I’m not speaking to people who are content. If you’re content playing video games and eating cheerios all day, good for you man. If that’s the vehicle you picked and you’re happy there, you should be happy, that’s awesome.” I wish I was better at being fulfilled. There’s a Tony Robins talks about the science of achievement, and then the art of fulfillment. Science of achievement, science is very step by step, so any of us achieve anything in life can figure out the science. There are the steps to go and achieve this thing. Then the other side, is the art of fulfillment. So how do we become fulfilled? That’s not a science, that’s a way harder, more complicated thing, especially for entrepreneurs, to feel fulfilled because we’re always wanting and seeking more, and trying to get more. So kind of like Gary Vaynerchuk, if you’re fulfilled, good for you man. Don’t listen to anything I’m saying, because if you’re fulfilled and happy, that’s awesome. Good for you. But if you’re not, it’s probably the vehicle that you’re in. You’re sitting in, I can’t even think of a bad car, what’s a crappy car? You’re sitting in a Volvo and you want to drive 100 miles an hour, it’s probably not going to happen, that thing’s going to break down. But if you’re in a Volvo and you’re like, “Dude, I just want to drive around my town.” Done, if you’re happy there, don’t worry about changing the vehicle. But if you’re not happy that what you got to work out, change the vehicle. Then the big part of the change the vehicle, often times, maybe you can’t drive it by yourself. So you gotta start building out your Voltron team. So those are my two big takeaways, hopefully for today for you guys. Change the vehicle and build out your team of superstars. So that’s what I got. Anyway, I’m going to bounce. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for listening, this is an 18 minuter. You get long sessions when I’m not driving to my office. We’re moving to a new office that’s like 3 minutes away from my house if I’m walking, actually it’s a little bit longer than that. But still, you guys may get really short Marketing In Your Cars. I’m going to start walking so I can talk for 5 minutes, which would be awesome. Alright, with that said, appreciate you all, have an amazing day. I’ll talk to you guys soon.

Things I thought about after talking to Tony Robbins today. On this episode Russell talks about finding level 10 opportunity after years of having level 10 skills but only level 2 opportunities. He discusses a recent phone call he had with Tony Robins to help him with his business. Here are some interesting things you will hear in today's episode: Why Russell had a phone call with Tony Robins and how he was able to help him. How talking with another marketing friend made him realize he was putting level 10 skills into level 2 opportunities. And why focusing on a level 10 opportunity (Clickfunnels) has been so rewarding. So listen below to find out why having a level 10 opportunity is the key to success. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone! This is Russell Brunson and welcome to a late night… a very late night Marketing In Your Car.  Hey everyone, so I've actually just jumped in my car, and I'm heading to the gym to go wrestle because that's what I want to do all day. If it were up to me, I would go back to when I was in college and just go back to wrestling. But I live in the real world, and unfortunately, it means I have to work and have a business, and all those other fun things — which I love, which it is not bad. But if it were up to me I'd be wrestling all the time, so when I get an opportunity to wrestle someone I am there. So that's where I'm at right now, and I've got like a 15-20 minute ride to the workout room, so I'll just hang out with you guys for a little bit. I hope you don't mind. Today was a super fun day. We've been working on a lot of really cool projects and stuff as always. Man, I don't know if you guys are loving ClickFunnels like I am, but I literally built out our entire seminar funnel inside of ClickFunnels. Yesterday, I built out one for our book launch. My book launch is coming up where I'm giving away my Ferrari. I built out, anyway, like three of four funnels in the last 48-hours. It's just so exciting and so much fun — and I love it! It's like a second, close to wrestling. Let's just put it there. If ClickFunnels was a sport… man, it might even beat wrestling, but it's close. It's a close call right now. So anyway, it's a ton of fun. And I had a really cool chance… Today, I actually had a call with Tony Robbins. Some of you guys, I'm sure, probably saw it. He recently did his big book launch for his MONEY Master the Game book. Which is an amazing book, and we promoted it and everything, and before the book launch, I saw what they were kind of doing and I messaged him. I was like, “Hey Tony, do you know there's some things we can do to help tweak the sales process so it will do better for you?” But he just ran out of time. They were so busy with the launch and with him speaking at, you know, every T.V. station in America for a month or two that the book was rolling out. But he just didn't have the you know, the bandwidth to be able to make the changes and adjustments he needed to, and because of that their funnel really suffered. You know, obviously, he's not going to be able to share stats, numbers or anything, but he didn't do as well as they had hoped. And so, I had to email them a couple days ago basically saying, “Hey, now that you kind of done with the whole whirlwind book tour thing, if you'd like, I'd love to give you some feedback on some pretty simple changes you can to your funnel to help things out.” He emailed me back and said let's talk Tuesday at 4:30, and it was kind of fun. So I had a chance to talk to him and just talk about his funnel and his goals. One thing that I can say that was just really, really cool from my phone conversation, you know, we talk a lot in business about staying focused and having like one goal and one thing you're working towards and being very myopic on that. And it's been interesting — I've watched over my 10-year career here in this business, it's 12 years now. Wow. Anyway, every time that I focus on one project and we start making a whole bunch of money, and as soon as I start making a bunch of money, my first tendency is to go and start doing like 30 different projects, and once I do that my whole business collapses. And then I get back, and then I have to cut everything and focus on one thing, and it grows again, and then I get excited and I start doing it. You know, I talked earlier on a podcast about cycling, and that's one of the main reasons why I've cycled a couple times is because of that. And it was interesting because when I first talked to Tony, I assumed that he wrote the book because he wanted to open up, you know, a back-end financial division and all these things and he kind of indirectly did. If you read the book, you'll kind of see kind of what he did. But it was interesting talking to him because the whole time he kept bringing it back to like what his core message is and his core focus and his reason why he's here on earth. It was really interesting. He talked about, you know, bringing these financial buyers is like…“But we don't have a financial back-end.” he's like, “I don't have a desire to build one.” He's said, “My only goal, my only focus, my life's mission is to change people's lives through, you know, my personal development stuff.” He's like, “And I want to get people over to that.” And I thought: Man, how powerful is that, that someone who spends four years writing a book, going on a mission to change this piece of the world, even though he did that to fill a personal mission? Like his only goal for that still is to come back to his core — his core focus. And that was just a real big lesson to me about, you know, having your one thing that you're passionate about and you want to be best in the world at, and focusing all efforts there. You know, it's been interesting, since we did launch ClickFunnels, I'm thinking a lot about that just because, you know, we've been trying to grow that and making it the best it possibly can be. And as lot of you guys know, I have my hands in a lot of different projects and opportunities and things like that, and it has been always tough for me over the last, you know, however many years of my career to focus on like, on a great opportunity because there's so many good ones, right? For example, a lot of you guys know about my supplement that's doing… you know, it's still doing great. But the problem is, I'm not focusing on it. Like it's sad, you know, like I shared numbers in the webinar to get people excited. Those numbers are actually really low, from what should be happening. Like that's something that should be at two or three million dollars a month. Like if I was to focus 100 percent of my effort on that, it would be there in a very, very finite short period of time. But it's not my passion, it's not my focus, it's not my thing, and so in spite of myself — just the fact that it's there — it's doing anywhere from $250 to $500 to $600. I think our swing, between like the high months and the low months, by $250,000 up to $600,000 a month, just consistently, without me doing really much of anything. Because I have no focus or effort there, it just kind of sits there and doesn't really do much. And so, for me, I'm looking at trying like how can we sell this? And I've been grateful that one of my friends and one of the guys in my mastermind group is looking at purchasing it right now. Which I think it can be a huge deal. A great deal for him and a great deal for me because he'll be able to have it, and actually put 100 percent focus on it, and give it the care that it needs and to be able to grow it. And it gives me the ability to start, you know, to take one more distraction away from me, so I can focus more on my core message. I also look at like our DotComSecrets Company. You know, for years my business model was: We need to create new offers. You know, just to create new offers to make more money, right? Like what's something cool people will buy? Okay, let's create this and create this, and we created some cool stuff. But it's been interesting. As I've come back and look at how we transitioned that company, how we're continuing to transition (and you guys will see that more and more throughout this year), that the DotComSecrets Company, the only goal of it is not so much to create new products and sell more stuff. We'll do that, but the reason why that's happening: You'll see everything that we're creating is very strategic to get people into ClickFunnels. ClickFunnels is my Level 10 opportunity, right? It's the thing I want to focus on, and the thing that I want to dedicate my life to. You know, we've had people already ask us like, “Well, you know, are you going to sell it? How much are you going to sell it for?” And it's been the funniest thing because any other business I've ever had if people asked me how much I'd sell it for, I've always had a number, instantly, in my head and with this one I don't. It's funny like… I would almost rather do anything than sell it. Like people… I don't know like, it's just so exciting for me that I literally want to be doing this in the next 10, 15, 20 years. I've never had a business where I can see myself doing it in 20 or 30 years, but I can with this one. That's how passionate, how excited I am. And so, when people talk about selling it, it's just like so far from my mind like it makes me sick to my stomach. Because I'm like I don't know if there's a number that I would say… I'm sure there would be a number I would say yes to, but if I did I think I'd always — you know, I have so much I want to do with it, in so many cool directions and things we're going to be doing — and so, anyway, it's just kind of interesting, Another really cool thing that I kind of think about, it's kind of related, but I've got a friend who's brilliant, one of the smartest marketers I've ever met. His name is Bill Harrison, and if you get to know him, him and his brother — Brad and Bill — they run a publicity company and it's really cool. About two years ago, actually, I was at Traffic Conversion with Bill Harrison, and we were talking about opportunities, and he was talking about him, and it was interesting, if you look at him, he's one of, like I said, one of the most amazing marketers I've ever met. If you go to his house… I haven't been in his house, but I've seen pictures of it where, literally, every room in his house is covered from the floor to the ceiling in marketing and sales books, and it's crazy. He's actually been sending me like boxes of books as gifts, just randomly, because he's got too many books that his house, literally, cannot fit them all. It's not like a library or a room. It's the entire the entire house is covered with them, and he knows marketing probably better than anyone on earth. And I was talking to him, and he said, “You know, it kind of drives me crazy. I have these friends who are horrible marketers, but they step into a Level 10 opportunity and their Level 2 skills. “Because they're a Level 10 opportunity, you know, some of these guys have sold their companies for hundreds of millions of dollars,” and he says, “You know, me, our company is doing well.” I don't know if they're doing $10- or $15-million a year, but he's like, “I felt like I have a Level 10 skill set, but I'm stuck in a Level 2 opportunity. And I remember when he said that I started looking again at myself, looking internal. I thought, you know, I feel kind of like the same way. Like I'm in a Level 2 opportunity, with all my little things out here, and nothing for me was like that thing that was passion — that drove me. You know, I was dabbling in a lot of things that I really loved and I cared about, but there wasn't anything that was really like my driving force. And I look at ClickFunnels as like something where I can take my Level 10 skills and apply it to a Level 10 opportunity and so for me it's exciting. So, anyway, I just wanted you guy thinking about that a little bit today. You know, it really impressed me when I was talking to Tony, just hearing him just keep pushing things back to that, and maybe kind of re-remember my focus and my goals in my company, in my business. And everything is to push people back to my core opportunity, and I just want to encourage you guys, as well, to think about that strategically, and don't just put out things to put out things, but think about like what's your mission in life? You know, think about what's Tony Robbins' mission? We know that, right? We've seen it. We've seen him changing millions and millions of people's lives around the world. Like that's his mission. My mission is to help people to build sales funnels and to take their message out to the world, and be able to do it in a way that they can be profitable. You know, what's your mission? What's the thing you were put on earth here to do in your business? Because I promise you guys that you can change people's lives, and you'll be able to change a lot more people's lives if you're focused 100 percent on that thing. So, anyway, that's about it for tonight, you guys. I am almost to the gym. I'm excited to go wrestle and… this is cool. So I appreciate you guys all listening. It's fun having someone who listens to my random thoughts. I get messages on Facebook, randomly, from you guys all the time. Tell me you listen to the podcast. It just makes me happy. So keep on listening. Share it with your friends if you like it, and outside of that, I appreciate you guys for listening, and we will talk soon.

Things I thought about after talking to Tony Robbins today. On this episode Russell talks about finding level 10 opportunity after years of having level 10 skills but only level 2 opportunities. He discusses a recent phone call he had with Tony Robins to help him with his business. Here are some interesting things you will hear in today’s episode: Why Russell had a phone call with Tony Robins and how he was able to help him. How talking with another marketing friend made him realize he was putting level 10 skills into level 2 opportunities. And why focusing on a level 10 opportunity (Clickfunnels) has been so rewarding. So listen below to find out why having a level 10 opportunity is the key to success. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone! This is Russell Brunson and welcome to a late night… a very late night Marketing In Your Car.  Hey everyone, so I’ve actually just jumped in my car, and I’m heading to the gym to go wrestle because that’s what I want to do all day. If it were up to me, I would go back to when I was in college and just go back to wrestling. But I live in the real world, and unfortunately, it means I have to work and have a business, and all those other fun things — which I love, which it is not bad. But if it were up to me I’d be wrestling all the time, so when I get an opportunity to wrestle someone I am there. So that’s where I’m at right now, and I’ve got like a 15-20 minute ride to the workout room, so I’ll just hang out with you guys for a little bit. I hope you don’t mind. Today was a super fun day. We’ve been working on a lot of really cool projects and stuff as always. Man, I don’t know if you guys are loving ClickFunnels like I am, but I literally built out our entire seminar funnel inside of ClickFunnels. Yesterday, I built out one for our book launch. My book launch is coming up where I’m giving away my Ferrari. I built out, anyway, like three of four funnels in the last 48-hours. It’s just so exciting and so much fun — and I love it! It’s like a second, close to wrestling. Let’s just put it there. If ClickFunnels was a sport… man, it might even beat wrestling, but it’s close. It’s a close call right now. So anyway, it’s a ton of fun. And I had a really cool chance… Today, I actually had a call with Tony Robbins. Some of you guys, I’m sure, probably saw it. He recently did his big book launch for his MONEY Master the Game book. Which is an amazing book, and we promoted it and everything, and before the book launch, I saw what they were kind of doing and I messaged him. I was like, “Hey Tony, do you know there’s some things we can do to help tweak the sales process so it will do better for you?” But he just ran out of time. They were so busy with the launch and with him speaking at, you know, every T.V. station in America for a month or two that the book was rolling out. But he just didn’t have the you know, the bandwidth to be able to make the changes and adjustments he needed to, and because of that their funnel really suffered. You know, obviously, he’s not going to be able to share stats, numbers or anything, but he didn’t do as well as they had hoped. And so, I had to email them a couple days ago basically saying, “Hey, now that you kind of done with the whole whirlwind book tour thing, if you’d like, I’d love to give you some feedback on some pretty simple changes you can to your funnel to help things out.” He emailed me back and said let’s talk Tuesday at 4:30, and it was kind of fun. So I had a chance to talk to him and just talk about his funnel and his goals. One thing that I can say that was just really, really cool from my phone conversation, you know, we talk a lot in business about staying focused and having like one goal and one thing you’re working towards and being very myopic on that. And it’s been interesting — I’ve watched over my 10-year career here in this business, it’s 12 years now. Wow. Anyway, every time that I focus on one project and we start making a whole bunch of money, and as soon as I start making a bunch of money, my first tendency is to go and start doing like 30 different projects, and once I do that my whole business collapses. And then I get back, and then I have to cut everything and focus on one thing, and it grows again, and then I get excited and I start doing it. You know, I talked earlier on a podcast about cycling, and that’s one of the main reasons why I’ve cycled a couple times is because of that. And it was interesting because when I first talked to Tony, I assumed that he wrote the book because he wanted to open up, you know, a back-end financial division and all these things and he kind of indirectly did. If you read the book, you’ll kind of see kind of what he did. But it was interesting talking to him because the whole time he kept bringing it back to like what his core message is and his core focus and his reason why he’s here on earth. It was really interesting. He talked about, you know, bringing these financial buyers is like…“But we don’t have a financial back-end.” he’s like, “I don’t have a desire to build one.” He’s said, “My only goal, my only focus, my life’s mission is to change people’s lives through, you know, my personal development stuff.” He’s like, “And I want to get people over to that.” And I thought: Man, how powerful is that, that someone who spends four years writing a book, going on a mission to change this piece of the world, even though he did that to fill a personal mission? Like his only goal for that still is to come back to his core — his core focus. And that was just a real big lesson to me about, you know, having your one thing that you’re passionate about and you want to be best in the world at, and focusing all efforts there. You know, it’s been interesting, since we did launch ClickFunnels, I’m thinking a lot about that just because, you know, we’ve been trying to grow that and making it the best it possibly can be. And as lot of you guys know, I have my hands in a lot of different projects and opportunities and things like that, and it has been always tough for me over the last, you know, however many years of my career to focus on like, on a great opportunity because there’s so many good ones, right? For example, a lot of you guys know about my supplement that’s doing… you know, it’s still doing great. But the problem is, I’m not focusing on it. Like it’s sad, you know, like I shared numbers in the webinar to get people excited. Those numbers are actually really low, from what should be happening. Like that’s something that should be at two or three million dollars a month. Like if I was to focus 100 percent of my effort on that, it would be there in a very, very finite short period of time. But it’s not my passion, it’s not my focus, it’s not my thing, and so in spite of myself — just the fact that it’s there — it’s doing anywhere from $250 to $500 to $600. I think our swing, between like the high months and the low months, by $250,000 up to $600,000 a month, just consistently, without me doing really much of anything. Because I have no focus or effort there, it just kind of sits there and doesn’t really do much. And so, for me, I’m looking at trying like how can we sell this? And I’ve been grateful that one of my friends and one of the guys in my mastermind group is looking at purchasing it right now. Which I think it can be a huge deal. A great deal for him and a great deal for me because he’ll be able to have it, and actually put 100 percent focus on it, and give it the care that it needs and to be able to grow it. And it gives me the ability to start, you know, to take one more distraction away from me, so I can focus more on my core message. I also look at like our DotComSecrets Company. You know, for years my business model was: We need to create new offers. You know, just to create new offers to make more money, right? Like what’s something cool people will buy? Okay, let’s create this and create this, and we created some cool stuff. But it’s been interesting. As I’ve come back and look at how we transitioned that company, how we’re continuing to transition (and you guys will see that more and more throughout this year), that the DotComSecrets Company, the only goal of it is not so much to create new products and sell more stuff. We’ll do that, but the reason why that’s happening: You’ll see everything that we’re creating is very strategic to get people into ClickFunnels. ClickFunnels is my Level 10 opportunity, right? It’s the thing I want to focus on, and the thing that I want to dedicate my life to. You know, we’ve had people already ask us like, “Well, you know, are you going to sell it?

It’s funny like… I would almost rather do anything than sell it. Like people… I don’t know like, it’s just so exciting for me that I literally want to be doing this in the next 10, 15, 20 years. I’ve never had a business where I can see myself doing it in 20 or 30 years, but I can with this one. That’s how passionate, how excited I am. And so, when people talk about selling it, it’s just like so far from my mind like it makes me sick to my stomach.

In this episode, I'll reveal what I've discovered about how to PRICE your sales funnel from beginning to end. Should you start with a low end offer to increase the amount of buyers that enter your sales funnel? Not always! There are many considerations to factor into your decision. We'll cover them all inside this episode.   Transcript Hi, welcome to another episode of the Sales Funnel Mastery, this is your host, Jeremy Reeves.    And today, we're going to talk about Sales Funnel Price Structuring. So this is actually a really, really, really important topic.    I actually talked about this. A couple of months ago I was at a private marketers' dinner in Philadelphia.    It was kind of an event where you had to be in Black Tie and personally invited and you had to be making over $200,000 a year and there are a lot of really, really, really A-Level, high-playered type of industry leaders at the event. I went there as I got invited, one of my customers was holding it, one of the Harrison brothers, Bill Harrison, and he asked me to do a speech.   It was actually a little bit of an impromptu speech. I'm not too much of a public speaker so I downed a few glasses of wine and got a little loosened up and one of the things that I talked about during that presentation during the event was price structuring in your sales funnel.   So somebody actually asked me, there's a little bit of Q&A, and somebody asked me, should you start your sales funnel with a low-priced product in the beginning of it and then ramp up? Something like something like having a $7 report which leads to something like a $97 product and then a 297 or 497 and then 1,000 or 2,000 or whatever versus just going for a higher end sale and which one gets you more money in the end.   My answer is that it's really not a black and white thing. It's a little bit of a gray area. It really depends on your business, it depends on your goals, it depends on the type of business that you're trying to create. Whether it's a lifestyle business, whether if you're going for maximum revenue which is a very different thing now. Not everybody is just trying to maximize their revenue.   There are a lot of people who want to just get to a certain level and then enjoy the lifestyle that it gives them. So basically, if you're in a market, and it's a very broad market, something like, you have access to a lot of buyer, something like weight loss or self-help or some type of very mass-appeal market, I usually recommend doing something like a really low-end offer first.   Because when you do a low-end offer like that it helps you generate buyers. It essentially separates the wheat from the chaff. It shows you who's willing to spend money with you, it gets them in a buying mode and then you can get them to buy higher-priced products. And it allows you to essentially create a buyers list that you can sell to over and over and over with your higher-priced products without really wasting marketing budget.   A lot of times, you can break even on 7 or $17 products with their marketing budget, depending on how much you're spending on your ad costs and things like that. And a lot of times, actually, it usually takes the first up-sell to break even. But it really depends on the business, everybody's different.    The Case For Lower Upfront Offers   Basically, if you have a really good back-end and and a mass-appeal market, I would recommend doing a smaller upfront offer like a $7 or $17 offer and then you put them in your back-end funnel and it could be the immediate upsell sequence right after they buy with one-click upsells and all that kind of fancy stuff.   If you don't don't really know what that means, just shoot me an email at Jeremy@JeremyReeves.com. But I assume most of the people listening to this know what that is.    If you have a really good back-end, then it's better to bring people in it at a lower price because your lifetime customer value's probably going to be higher, you know what people are going to be worth to you as a business.   So if you know your customer lifetime value is, say, $3000 and you can get that back within the first 12 months, that's the average person. You know what you can spend upfront so you could afford to spend, you can afford to get people at a loss. It's called a 'loss leader' in the beginning and just and just sell them whatever you have for your back-end funnel.   The Case For Higher Upfront Offers   If you don't have quite as much of the back-end and you're relying more on just a smaller quantity of buyers and your buyers are worth a higher price. For me, for example, actually, I go after quality versus quantity so I have a lot of high-end services. I do have a couple of low-end products. But mostly I focus on the high-end services because I would rather sell 10 $500 products a month and get a couple of coaching clients out of that.   Because people buy it and they go into coaching rather than trying to sell people a $37 product because it helps my positioning, it helps me be the authority in the marketplace and things like that.    So you have to think about that kind of stuff. It depends on so many factors. If you're trying to be a maven in your industry, I would recommend going with a higher-priced funnel where you start off at 297 or 497 or something like that.    If you're going for mass appeal, you have a lot of customers that you're trying to get, you have a really good back-end funnel, that kind of thing, then I recommend going for a lower-priced product.   And this really is something that you test. What I actually recommended to this person that asked me this question was, I said, “Do a one-year-long test or six-month-long test whenever, however long your buying cycle is.”    So if most people kind of max out at 6 months, then do 6 months, If most people max out at what they're going to spend with you their lifetime customer value, then do 12 months. And you really have to know your key metrics for all of this stuff. So it's really good to know your metrics.    So what you do is do year-long-tests and you do one funnel, you do two separate funnels. One, start at just say 297 and and one starts at just you know 7, 17 and something like that, whatever low-end is for your audience because everybody's different.    And then you test the lifetime customer value over a certain time period, say, 6 or 12 months, and you see which one gives you more profit overall. So maybe with the $7 offer, you're getting tons and tons and tons and tons of customers and you end up with an average lifetime customer value of in a given say, a year, $997 is the average person, that's what they're worth to you.   And then you test that again starting at 297 and obviously you're going to have less customers but they're better customers. They require less customer support because that's usually the case. People that spend more are going to be essentially less, less needy. And I've tested that over and over and over again on all kinds of different markets and it's pretty amazing, actually.   If you're looking for a lifestyle business that's one strategy you can use right there. And basically, you test two completely separate funnels. One, that starts really low-end. One, that starts at a medium or high-end and you see which one is worth more to you overall and that's really the answer. So you really just have to test that. I have not found that either those works in every case. It really is better for each industry, it depends on what you want in your business.    So if you're going for maximum revenue, then you go with whatever one gives you maximum revenue. If you're going for a lifestyle business, then you go, I would say probably the higher-end is a better choice because, again, the customers that you attract even though you're gonna have less of them, are much better customers and they are less of a hassle for you. So there's less work on your end to do.    So keep that in mind. I really hope that helps. This is one that I would recommend listening to over and over again. I think I gave you a bunch of different insights in there if you're listening closely that you can really take and implement in your business.    The main consensus there is that if you're trying out if a low-end or a high-end funnel is going to work better for you, test two separate funnels and track it over about a year's time. I know that's a very long time to test, hopefully you're in business for long-term and not a one-two-year kind of deal.    But I hope that helps and let me know if you have any questions. If there's anything that you want a little bit more clarity on, just shoot me an email at Jeremy@JeremyReeves.com.    In the meantime, if this helps you, make sure you're subscribed on iTunes, to this podcast, make sure you tell your friends about it and go into iTunes, wherever you listen to this and rate it o that it'll help me, you know, jump up in the ratings and that kind of thing.    So make sure you tell your friends, keep listening, I'll be back in a few days and I will talk to you soon. 

The post Episode #19 – What Type Of Opportunity Are You In? appeared first on DotComSecrets.com Blog - Weird Marketing Experiments That Increase Traffic, Conversions and Sales.... Are you an A level marketer in a B level opportunity?  Let me show you how to change! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey everybody, this is Russell Brunson and we are on my way to work today. This is the Marketing in Your Car podcast. In today's podcast, we're going to be talking about what type of opportunity are you in right now. Today, I want to talk about types of opportunities that we're in. this is something that I've never really thought about. When I first got in the business, I just started moving forward. I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't know what was happening. I had an idea for this software, so I made that and I started selling it. Then I had this idea for potato gun DVDs so I made that. Then I had an idea. I started having ideas, and then just making that stuff and trying to sell it. I had no real plan or purpose or anything. It was just things started happening. We started moving forward. I think that a lot of times happens with a lot of us in our businesses. Last summer, my wife and I had a chance to go to Kenya for about 10 days. We were doing a project with World Teacher Trade which is a really cool charity that two of my friends, Stu and Amy McLaren started. We had a chance to go out there. It's one of the most amazing experiences while we were out there, helping build schools. It was a really cool thing. While we were out there, there were probably I think 10 or 15 other high end internet marketers who had all donated money to build these classrooms that were all there with us. We were building schools and hanging out with the kids, and having a great time together. I remember one day, I was sitting next to Bill Harrison. If you guys don't know Bill, he's a brilliant marketer, one of the coolest guys from a marketing standpoint. He and I sat and talked for 20 hours straight without even a break because the guy has read more books on marketing than anyone I ever met, a really cool guy. I really enjoy my time with him every time I have a chance to talk with him. When we were in Kenya, he started talking about the type of opportunity he was in. He said, “It's kind of frustrating me. I feel like I have A level skills but I feel like I'm at a B level opportunity.” He said, “I have these friends who have B or C level skills who aren't that good at marketing or business, yet they somehow got plugged into an A level opportunity, and a couple of them just sold their businesses for $100 million.” He's like, “Our company does well. We do $10 to $12 million a year but that's kind of the peak. We maxed out everything that's possible in our business because it's a B level opportunity. We can't really get outside of that.” He's like, “Also, the other issue is that I built a company that was based off of,” actually his brother's brand so it's based on his brother's. He's like, “It's a business that's very difficult if not impossible to sell. The problem with that, when you build a company completely off of your face and your name, at first, it's a lot easier to get traction and make sales, and to grow a business but long term, it's harder to sell because you sell it, then the personality dies behind the business.” He said, “I always felt like our business is like a rental. No matter what, we'll never own it to the point where we could sell it. It's like a rental home. We could make good income on it, have good cash flow but it's not something that we own and could sell someday.” Between those two things, talking about the opportunity and talking about basically we're...

Are you an A level marketer in a B level opportunity?  Let me show you how to change! ---Transcript--- Hey everybody, this is Russell Brunson and we are on my way to work today. This is the Marketing in Your Car podcast. In today's podcast, we're going to be talking about what type of opportunity are you in right now. Today, I want to talk about types of opportunities that we're in. this is something that I've never really thought about. When I first got in the business, I just started moving forward. I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't know what was happening. I had an idea for this software, so I made that and I started selling it. Then I had this idea for potato gun DVDs so I made that. Then I had an idea. I started having ideas, and then just making that stuff and trying to sell it. I had no real plan or purpose or anything. It was just things started happening. We started moving forward. I think that a lot of times happens with a lot of us in our businesses. Last summer, my wife and I had a chance to go to Kenya for about 10 days. We were doing a project with World Teacher Trade which is a really cool charity that two of my friends, Stu and Amy McLaren started. We had a chance to go out there. It's one of the most amazing experiences while we were out there, helping build schools. It was a really cool thing. While we were out there, there were probably I think 10 or 15 other high end internet marketers who had all donated money to build these classrooms that were all there with us. We were building schools and hanging out with the kids, and having a great time together. I remember one day, I was sitting next to Bill Harrison. If you guys don't know Bill, he's a brilliant marketer, one of the coolest guys from a marketing standpoint. He and I sat and talked for 20 hours straight without even a break because the guy has read more books on marketing than anyone I ever met, a really cool guy. I really enjoy my time with him every time I have a chance to talk with him. When we were in Kenya, he started talking about the type of opportunity he was in. He said, “It's kind of frustrating me. I feel like I have A level skills but I feel like I'm at a B level opportunity.” He said, “I have these friends who have B or C level skills who aren't that good at marketing or business, yet they somehow got plugged into an A level opportunity, and a couple of them just sold their businesses for $100 million.” He's like, “Our company does well. We do $10 to $12 million a year but that's kind of the peak. We maxed out everything that's possible in our business because it's a B level opportunity. We can't really get outside of that.” He's like, “Also, the other issue is that I built a company that was based off of,” actually his brother's brand so it's based on his brother's. He's like, “It's a business that's very difficult if not impossible to sell. The problem with that, when you build a company completely off of your face and your name, at first, it's a lot easier to get traction and make sales, and to grow a business but long term, it's harder to sell because you sell it, then the personality dies behind the business.” He said, “I always felt like our business is like a rental. No matter what, we'll never own it to the point where we could sell it. It's like a rental home. We could make good income on it, have good cash flow but it's not something that we own and could sell someday.” Between those two things, talking about the opportunity and talking about basically we're in a rental business if it's that type of business, I really took that to heart. I thought a lot about it. That was last summer. In January, I was at the traffic conversion event and I saw Bill again. We started talking. I told him, “What you talked about really had a big impact on me with the whole level, what type of opportunity are you in.” He asked me, “What are you doing about that?” I said, “You know, I'm not sure yet.” I remember I had this conversation with the guys on my team. We were all there at the event together, and kind of said it looked like we're in a good business. We're at a I feel a B level opportunity. First off, our business does well. Our best year ever, we did over $10 million so it's a really good business but I feel like our skill set, what we bring to the table is a lot more than that. I really feel like we were in the same situation as Bill where we had a B level opportunity with A level skills, and we wanted to figure out a way to increase that. We strategically sat down and figured out with what we have right now, how could we change our business to actually make it an A level opportunity where we could apply our A level skills, and really make what we think what we're worth in what we can do. Because of that, we basically took a business that was doing $10 million a year and completely transformed it and changed it. Some of you guys probably on the outside can see a few of the changes happening but you'll see more and more over the next six months or so, and where Dot Com Secrets is not the focus of our business. Again, I think Dot Com Secrets is a B level opportunity. Sure, it makes us $10 million a year but I think that there are bigger opportunities. That's what we're pursuing right now. You'll start seeing these transitions and changes as we're trying to shift away from a B level opportunity into an A level opportunity where we can really start scaling it. My thought process for this podcast I wanted you guys to think about is what type of opportunity are you in right now? Just because you're in the business you're in right now doesn't mean you have to be in that. You can change it or you can sell it, or you can move onto something different, but make sure that you're in an opportunity that can reward you sufficiently for your level of skill. If you're in a business, maybe you're doing a million bucks a year and you feel really good about that. Just by tweaking the business you're in could completely tweak how much money you're making, just by shifting the opportunity. I want you to be aware of that because until last summer, I wasn't even aware of that. I was just moving forward in the opportunity that I'd fallen into and didn't even think much about it. I was good at making money but now that we've made a shift and we're focusing on an A level opportunity, it gets me more excited because I can see the big vision, my team can see the vision, and we get more excited because what we're building is ten times bigger. Again, that's my focus for you guys. Just look at the opportunity you're in now and realize that if you're not happy or it's not what you think it could be, or it's not big enough, whatever it is, you can change. I remember two years ago on New Year's Eve, Tony Robbins put out this video. It was very inspirational for me, and it was actually the catalyst for me firing a ton of employees, shifting my whole business model around, and moving my offices, and shifting. He basically said, “As New Year's is coming up, this is the time when people can make changes and do whatever they want.” He said, “Look, if you're not happy in your relationships, change them. If you're not happy with your weight, change it. If you're not happy with your business, change it.” It really gave me permission, saying, “You know what, why do I have to keep doing this? If I'm not happy, I can change.” I think that that's something that a lot of people, as simple as it is, you don't give yourself permission to do that. Look at your life right now, all aspects of it. Look at the opportunities in everything, not just business, but your relationship opportunities, your spiritual opportunities, things like that. Just look at are you at an A level opportunity in all areas of your life? If not, then change it. I'm giving you guys all permission right now to make that change because I know it's a scary thing but you have my permission to do it and my encouragement to go do that as well, and seek after the A level opportunities. Guess what? It takes the exact same amount of effort as the B level opportunities. That's what's interesting. When Bill was talking to me, his buddy that sold his company for $100 million, he didn't work as hard as Bill is, he didn't work as hard as I'm working but the opportunity he was in allowed that. Just realize that the conscious choosing of your opportunity is huge because most of us don't consciously choose it. Most of us just go out there, and whatever we stumble upon, that's what we start running with. I'm giving you permission right now to consciously choose the opportunities in your life, again, from relationships to business to personal life to spiritual life, whatever it is. Consciously make the choice and then I also give you permission to make those changes because I know that a lot of times, we just need that permission. You have my permission. Go and do it. I hope you enjoy this podcast. I hope it gives you guys some inspiration. I know that this little concept has changed our business, the direction of our business substantially and it's made what we're doing a million times more fun and more fulfilling. I hope it will do the same for you. Thanks, everybody.
