My amazing friend is back on the show and is one of the catalyst for me changing the show name and much more. The episode is full of wisdom and insight don't miss it Liz Benny lives and breathes the philosophy of “Life is for living”. She's got more energy than fifty energizer bunnies and KAPOWs her way through each and every day as if it's her last day. People say that she has a magnetic and engaging personality and you can't help but believe in yourself when you're around her. Liz has a raw and real approach to her work and is focused on positively impacting as many people as possible through her KAPOW movement. It took Liz a while to find business success, even though she earned a Masters with Distinction from her work in Positive Psychology. After this, ironically, Liz found herself stuck in a job that was draining her soul, so she made a decision and set out to create a better life – a life she'd always dreamed of. She firmly believes that everyone is capable of living rewarding, fulfilling, successful lives and as a business and life transforma tion specialist she spends her time assisting entrepreneurs to reach their full potential. Liz's super power is helping entrepreneurs and business owners close the gap between their dreams and achieving them. She does that with her signature KAPOW pathway which ensures that success in all the important areas of life occurs because, as Liz says, “There's no point in making millions and millions of dollars if you're not happy in process!” https://lizbenny.com/?

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Liz Benny, Sally Hogshead, Shannon Miles, Lisa Sasevich, Bonnie Fahy, Diana House and Marisa Murgatroyd and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success. (2:21) Liz Benny Learn to get to know who you are as a person. Turn your curses into something that you can profit from. Understand where your strengths lie and where your weaknesses are. Learn to allow yourself some help in areas you are not good at. Give the job to someone who is good in the field and have an accountability partner who is going to check up on you at all times. (6:32) Sally Hogshead High performers deliver a very specific benefit. Some may be detail oriented and they will hone in on details and they will look for clients and projects so they can overdeliver in details. Most people have this misconception that entrepreneurs are geniuses or prodigies but truth be told, it's just that they are very detail oriented, hard working and they go the extra mile to do something and that is what separates them from most. (9:40) Shannon Miles Working from home has been proven to be the new norm. However, it brings its own set of challenges. When you work from home, you have to be strict with your schedules. You need to track down your hours of work. You need to communicate and be able to keep progress up regardless of working from the comfort of your home. It becomes even more important to know the productivity of your employees. (11:17) Lisa Sasevich Inspire your client to make a decision. Whatever that is that you do, make sure you have a good sales conversion machine. If you don't have a system to offer that difference, you are doing all the hard work for no reason. You won't see any rewards. Reverse engineer to lead to your offer and always make sure it is an irresistible offer that your clients cannot say no to. (14:45) Bonnie Fahy The bottom line is if you outsource the wrong thing in your business you will not make any money. There is no use in doing something that does not lead anywhere. Have a little software that asks what you are doing every minute. How are you spending your time, daily? Learn to identify what are the things in your business that are helping you make more money. Those are the things you do not want to outsource. If you say yes to everything it will overwhelm you and eventually lead to burnout. (20:27) Diana House If you want to be a lifetime entrepreneur you need to master the language of finance. You have to really be on top of all your finances. Finance is the language of entrepreneurship and you need to learn how to master it. Many people spend so much time trying to find new and innovative ways to improve their business and then they leave their finances to the bare minimum. This is the wrong way to live an entrepreneurial life. (24:43) Marisa Murgatroyd Many people spend years of their lives empowering others with the promise of a steady check. Which is not a bad thing however if you are going to spend your life doing this, why not spend an extra hour or so thinking about what you can do yourself where people can pay you for your services. So it becomes utterly important to learn to identify your strengths and what you can offer people. Then start your own business. Take the leap of faith and work hard on it.

This is day 2 of the 5 Day Lead Challenge. If you want to watch the video of this episode or download the OnePager, go to 5dayleadchallenge.com. Hit me up on IG! @russellbrunson Text Me! 208-231-3797 Join my newsletter at marketingsecrets.com ClubHouseWithRussell.com Magnetic Marketing ---Transcript--- What's up, everybody. Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I hope you enjoyed our last episode, which was day number one of the Five Day Lead Challenge. Today, we are moving into day number two. And again, this is a recording from a live event I did that you can go and get the actual videos if you want to see them, you can download the one pagers and get the homework assignments all those things for free. All you do is go to fivedayleadchallenge.com. You can get those things. I'm going to play day number two for you right now. And day number two is all about creating your lead magnet. What is the thing you can create that's going to get people to come from Facebook, or Google, or YouTube, or Instagram, or whatever, and actually give you their email address. And the better your lead magnet is the more people will give you their email address. So we're talking about how to create good lead magnets, what they look like. And then I'm actually going to be talking about one of my favorite software tools, second only to click funnels, and it's called one pager. One pager is how I create most of my lead magnets as you guys have probably seen. Again, there'll be parts of this that I'll be demoing stuff on a screen that you won't be able to see here on the audio podcast. But if you want to go see the video version and get the one pager, and the homework, and assignments, and things like that. Again, all you got to do is go to fivedayleadchallenge.com. So that said, I hope you guys enjoyed day number two, Creating Your Lead Magnet. Welcome back to day number two of the 5 Day Lead Challenge. Are you guys half as excited as I am? I'm not gonna lie of all the five days, this is the one that I've been looking forward to the most the teaching, the coaching and walking guys through, this one is gonna be so much fun. And so I'm pumped to see all you guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us today. Hopefully, you all had a chance yesterday to watch day number one. Day number one, the goal of that was to kinda give you guys a broad overview of this is what the process is, what the system is, what the frameworks look like, and today we're actually gotta get our hands dirty and start building something which is exciting. And so I'm pumped to be here with you guys. Thank you so much for hanging out with us, thank you for everybody who's been sharing these videos. I think before he pulled up, there was like almost 300 people that shared the videos already on social, these lives, thank you for sharing it. If you know anybody else who should be here, please tag them in the comments down below, and that way we can get more people coming and hanging out for this. Like I told you guys yesterday, over 35,000 of you guys registered to be part of this. We had over 11,000 people on live yesterday between Zoom and Facebook and YouTube, and then over 9,000 of you guys watched the replays, so this is amazing. This is like such a huge honor for me. So today's the day, like I said though, I'm most excited for. Today we're gonna be going into actually creating your lead magnet, your one pager and it's gonna be a lot of fun. But before I get too deep into that, I spent time yesterday looking through all of the tens of thousands of comments and questions, I also talked to a lot of you guys who were on and who had questions and stuff like that. So I wanna do a couple of things just kinda help and make sure that we're bridging this gap before I dive deep into the fun stuff I've got prepared for you guys today. Does that sound good? Okay, so the first thing I wanted to do, a lot of people, especially people who're kinda in different types of businesses were asking me about like how does this work Russell? Like I understand I need leads for my business. You talked about email list, you build a big list, you can send emails to but like, how does this work for my specific business? And so I wrote down a couple of different ones I wanted to kinda give some case studies and examples for, okay. So the first one I talk about, this is for like a traditional business. It's like a brick and mortar company. So I got a couple of good examples of this. One of them, one of my friends actually told me this story, he lives down in Florida and he is a guy who is like me, builds big email lists and stuff. And one night he went to order pizza, this is pre-COVID stuff, so you could still go and hang out and eat with people. And he goes to the pizza place and he sits down and he's waiting for the pizza guy to finish cooking his pizza and give it to him. And it's the local shop, so it's not like a big chain, it's just like a local dude who has got a pizza shop and having a lot of fun. And he starts asking my buddy like, "So what do you do for a living?" And he's like, "Oh, I'm an internet nerd, and this is what I do." And the guy was like, "Well, how do what you do work for me? Like I don't understand, I'm a pizza place. How do I use the internet, like how does actually work for me?" And so my friend came back to him and said, "Okay, well, let's do an experiment." He said, "Right now how are you getting leads? How do you get new people coming into the store?" And he said, "Well, word of mouth, we've got a yellow page ad, we were in some newspaper ads." They had some things they were using to drive leads in. And he said, "Okay, what I want you to do for the next 30 days, is we're gonna do an experiment. Okay, so for the next 30 days, when people come into your store is I want you to give them a lead magnet." He's like, "What's a lead magnet?" He said, "Well, in your case, a lead magnet for your pizza place is give people say, if you give me your email address I'm gonna give you a free topping, I'm gonna give you a free drink or something." And he's like, "Find something you can give them in exchange for their contact information." And the guy is like, "Okay, what am I gonna do with this like just right now for 30 days just get their contact information, I'll come back in 30 days and I'll show you step two in the plan." So the guy is like, "All right." So he put up a little sign that said, "Give me your email address, put your business card in here and we'll give you a free," I can't remember, "Free topping or something." And so the guy did that for 30 days. And at the end of 30 days, my friend came back to his place and the time he had 600 email addresses that got collected in the last 30 days. And my friend said, "Okay, now I'm gonna show you the next step in this process. These people came in, these are all leads, but these leads, we're gonna put them into an email list. Okay, we've got 600 leads." So he took them, he went and he set them into an email list. And we'll talk about how to do this actually on day number four. But he uploaded all these leads to an email list, and he said, "Why don't you use every single day at four o'clock, when people are still at work, they'll be getting ready to think like, "What's my dinner plans?" And he's like, "I want you to send them an email. And all the email is gonna say is, "Hey, it's four o'clock. and a lot of you guys are thinking about what you're gonna have for dinner, if you want, I can have a pizza ready for you in the next hour. Just call this number right here and I will have your pizza ready and you can come drive by and pick it up on your way home." So that's what he told him and said, "Every single day at four o'clock send that same email. You can tweak it if you want, but just regardless, send out the same email every single day." So the guy was like, "Okay, I'm gonna do that." And then my friend said, "I wanna test something though," and he's like, "I need you to set two phone numbers, it's gonna show you like, how much more valuable this is and all the other advertising you're doing." And the guy said, "Okay." So he had all the other advertising would go to one phone number. So the yellow pages, the radio ads, the newspaper, everything would go to one phone number. Then the email list went to a separate phone number, and I want you to track over the next 30 days, every day send out this email, and then I want you to see how many leads or how many customers came in from your email list versus all the other types of advertising you're doing. So then, okay, so he did that and he starts sending emails once every single day, every single day, four o'clock, send the same email send the same email, the guy didn't even edit the email. He just like copied and pasted it every single day. And after 30 days my friend came back and said, "Okay, what are the stats?" And the guy said, "It's crazy." He said, "My company has been so busy." He's like, "My best customers keep coming back." Before they'd come once or twice a quarter. Now, they come back once or twice a week to buy from me 'cause I'm putting these messages out in front of them. He said, "I did the math." He said, "Right now for every one phone call I'm getting from all my other advertising efforts, I'm getting four phone calls from my email list." And that's the power of it. So that's how it works for traditional local business. I had another friend who runs a gym. And he was actually my trainer for a couple of years and we're hanging out and we were lifting weights and he was telling me how to do stuff. And he's like, "So how would your internet stuff work for someone like me, I've got a gym?" I was like, "You know what?" And he was like "My Facebook ads, how's it gonna work?" I'm like, "Well, you can do that but let's go with the low hanging fruit." I'm like, "Do you have a list?" He's like, "What's a list?" I'm like, "Okay, do you have any leads?" He's like, "Kind of, not really." I said, "Okay, well, do you have dead files?" He's like, "What's a dead file?" I'm like, "A dead file is someone who came into your business at one point and that you have their contact information. They either trained with you, they didn't and they left, but you have their contact information, their email, right?" He's like, "Oh yeah, I've got tons. I have a whole filing cabinet full of those." I said, "Okay, this weekend, we're you to grab all those and put them all on an Excel sheet like the name and email address of all the people. And on Monday, I'm gonna show you guys the magic trick. I'm gonna show you magic trick." He's like, "Okay." So that weekend he went through his dead files, he put everyone's name, email on the list. He came back and on Monday I was like, "Well, how many do you have?" He said, "I had a little over 300 people." I said, "Okay, let me show you a magic trick. I'm gonna fill up your gym completely off nothing but your dead files." And he's like, "How does that work?" I said, "Watch this." So I took his 300 names, we put them in email list and I sent an email to that list. I said something, it was towards the new year. I said, I think the subject line I tried to get it, he wouldn't let me do this. But subject line was, "Are you fat again?" He was like, "I think it's gonna offend some people." I'm like, "Okay." We wrote an email basically saying, "Hey, one time you came in the gym, but you're no longer here. Right now, we got a special offer where you can come in like do free training session and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." He sent the email to just the dead files. The 300 some people who come in at one point. From that, he got 60 new clients to call him on the phone, come in and do a session and completely filled up his gym. And I came back to him like two or three weeks later, I was like, "Hey, ready for step two." He was like, "No, he's like, my gym's filled. There's nothing else like all my sessions are filled. I can't do anything else." All from just an email list. Can we just understand this is the power of your traditional business, how these email lists work. Oh, just to get the wheels spinning 'cause everyone's like, "Oh, I don't wanna a pizza place, Russell. Or I don't run. I don't run a gym. This works in any business. We had a girl that used to live by us. And I think she was 14 and 15 years old. And she was a babysitter. And I don't know about you guys, but for me it's like every weekend, it's like, "Oh, I want to go dance with my wife and I need to call a babysitter." And like all these things, it's like, ha, so frustrating. So we found this one babysitter, she was awesome. But the problem was she was in high demand. So like, and I didn't know why at the time it was like we'd get her one time and it would be hard to get her back and forth. And then one day when she started doing it was crazy, every Friday at about noon we would get a text message. This text message went out to us and probably 10 or 15 other families who she used, who would babysit. And she would text, excuse me. She said, "Hey, this is so-and-so." Excuse me she said, "I'm open to babysit tonight and tomorrow night, if you're interested text me back, first come first serve." And I get that text every Friday at like noon. And as soon as I came in, I'm like, "Oh." And I try to reserve my time. And she was booked up every Friday, every Saturday she had babysitting lined up every single week for the first, like it was insane because she had this list of five or six families, 10 families, whatever it was that she babysat for. And every week she sent the message out reminding them like, "Hey, I can babysit tonight." We're like, "Oh, thank heaven, I'm not gonna call a babysitter. I can like, this is great." And like that fast, she fill up her schedule just from her tiny email list of like 15, 20 people. So that's kind of how this process works. Oh, I'm gonna show you guys an example. Another one, a lot of people are like, "Well, I'm a network marketer, I'm a network marketer. How does this work for me?" So network marketers, a lot of times people in network marketing or affiliate marketing like this doesn't work because I don't have my own product, Russell. I don't have my own frameworks, I don't have these things. And I'm gonna show you guys about frameworks a lot today. But just think, for example, let's just say one of the network marketing companies I'm really familiar with is Proven. I do a lot of work with those guys and Proven is a product that helps people get their body in ketosis. So it's like, what if let's say that that's your product? That's the result that your company offers. So like what if you went and created a lead magnet it's gonna show that here's my number one recipe and how to get my number one keto recipe or here's 12 ways to get in keto faster or whatever. You make a lead magnet like that and you start driving traffic. I'm gonna show you guys here and you get a list of 10, 50, 100 people, 500 people, who are all downloaded your one-pager, your lead magnet, about how to get your body in ketosis or whatever it is. And now if the product you sell, is it something that's related to getting people in ketosis. Now, you can send emails to that list and say, "Hey, we have a special promotion happening. Hey, we have a sample going on. Hey, we have this thing." And you send emails lists to get people excited. This works in any company. I think about doTERRA is another company. doTERRA Essential Oils. What if I made a one page or a lead magnet? It's like, "Hey, here's six essential oils to help build up your immunity during COVID-19." That becomes a lead magnet. I send out, people start opting in and building this list of people who are learning essential oils. Now, I've got a list of my dream customers. Now, you send emails, getting them to sign up and become a distributor underneath me. See how this works like there's so many use cases and so many ways. Again, you'll see more ways to here in a minute. E-commerce, let's say you're e-commerce, so you're like, "Hey, I'm an e-commerce, Russell. I don't understand this whole list building thing." Well, let's just say, let's pick your e-commerce store, let's say you are selling camping stuff. So let's say e-com and your market is camping. So let's say I sell camping gear. I sell tents, I sell, I don't know, mess kits, I sell camping stuff. I don't even know what camping people do. I'm not a camper. But let's say I've got those camping e-com store. What if I make a lead magnet that's like, "Hey, the six best places in the United States to go camping or the five things you must have to be able to go camping." And sleep , talking about camping stuff. My dream customers, people interest in camping buy that or excuse me, opt-in to give me the email address. I build a list of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 people interested in camping. And now it's the emails like, "Oh, by the way, have you seen my new camping thing, have you seen this, have you seen this?" And you can sell them the products in your store. So again, it works for every business. You have to kind of think a little bit about how to bridge that gap for yourself so hopefully some of those examples will get the wheels in your head spinning. I just wanted to start that way 'cause I know some of you guys a lot of people were like, "This is awesome, Russell. That's not gonna work for my specific business." It works for every business. I promise you that. If your business needs leads, it'll work for it. You just got to think outside the box. Like what is the lead magnet I have it's going to get my dream customers to come to me. So that's the first thing I want to share to kind of bridge the gap. Now with that, we'll start diving into the frameworks I wanna share with you guys today. Are you guys ready for this? We're gonna go, I think I got three frameworks I'm gonna go deep into that I'm excited to share with you guys. Anyway, I think you're gonna love them. So the first thing I want to start with, I kind of touched upon this yesterday, but I wanna go a lot deeper in it. So every single business, I don't care what business you're in. The first thing you have to ask yourself, step number one it's always figuring out who. Who is your dream customer? Who is the person that you've been called to serve? A lot of these people are like, "Oh, businesses is business." Like no, no, no. Businesses are all about serving certain group of clients. My business, I'm obsessed with helping entrepreneurs. So my dream clients are entrepreneurs, people who are starting their own businesses. People who want to change the world. That's my dream client. I have a very clear picture of who that person is. So my first question for you is, who is your dream client? Not like who's the random person who sees your ad and comes into the door. Who is your dream client? Who is the person that if you could work with them all day long, you do it for free because you love that person so much. That's what you gotta be thinking through. Who is your dream client? That's the first step in here. And you have to become crystal clear on who that person is. If you don't know who they are it gets really hard to attract them. If I'm like, "Oh, I'm just trying to get customers. I don't know." If you do that, you're gonna attract random people off the street. But if you know exactly who you are looking for, it gets really easy to attract that person. And I could go on for days. In fact, if you read the "DotCom Secrets" book, the very first section, I talk a lot about this. Like who's your dream customer, you gotta figure out who that person is. So that's the first step, who's my dream customer. The second thing it says that every business is in the job, I don't care what business you're in, your goal is to figure out who your dream customer and then get that person a certain result. Like that's the goal. So I don't know who is. And the second question is, here's this big journey they're going on up the mountain. And the second thing is what is the result that I am getting for them. Now, in most businesses there's a lot of different types of results. Right now I think like what's a certain result that you can get for your dream customer. So think about, it's like let's say your dentist. So my dream client are people local area who want straight teeth, that's my dream client. What's the result I get for them? I help them get straight, clean white, beautiful teeth. That's the result I get somebody. If you are a masseuse, who's your dream client? It's somebody who's trying to get in good shape, someone who's trying to get their body in shape and things like that. There's your dream client. What's the result you're getting for them? I'm getting out of pain, helping them to be more relaxed and help do whatever the thing is. There's a result I have for them. If you are any business, like for example, right now before I started this whole 5 Day Challenge, my question was who are my dream clients? My dream clients, people are trying to figure out how in the world to get leads for their business. What's the result I wanna get people? I want to show them exactly how to build out a lead magnet, a squeeze page funnel, and drive traffic so they can start getting leads, like that's the result I wanted to give people when they started on this path. So for you those are the two first questions, who's your dream client? And what is the major result you're trying to get for them? And now you stop for a second, say, "Okay, that's the major result I want to try to get for somebody." So then the question is, what is the step-by-step process to get them the result? You've been on this path before. You've already gotten this result. If you haven't gotten this result, you're not in the business of getting people that result. That way if you haven't achieved the thing you're trying to promise people you're going to help them with, you shouldn't be in that business. So if you're trying to help them get result means you've already gotten that result for yourself. So the question then is, well, what were the steps for you to get the result? What was the first thing you had to do to get towards that result? What was the second thing you did? What was the third thing you did? What was the fourth thing you did? What was the fifth thing you did? What were all the steps you did to get that result? So think for a second, what were the things? Here's a 5 Day Lead Challenge, guess what my results were? For number one I had to create a lead magnet. Number two, after lead magnet I created a lead funnel. After lead funnel I had to create an email sequence to build a relationship with the list. I thought I'd launched my funnel, get traffic coming in. And then so these were the steps I had to do to get leads into my business. So before I did this whole training I sat down saying "What's the framework I need to teach people? What are the step-by-step process that I have to show people to do to get the same result that I got." So I take those step-by-step things and I create what I call a framework. And a framework is just the step-by-step process. In framework say step number one, you do this. Set number two, you do this. Step three, four, five, six. And like I walk some people through the actual framework. You call it a framework we call it the recipe. Like this is the recipe. If my results to make a cake, what's the first step making cake. What's the second, what's the third, what's the four? It's not difficult to make a cake when you've got the recipe. Your job as a business is to help people. Your basically you're creating a recipe to get your dream customer a certain result. That's all it is. Every business, I don't care what business you're in. You offer people result and you have some kind of framework, some kind of proprietary framework or recipe or process or something you take somebody through to get the result. That framework, that process is what I'm gonna call your framework, like I call them a framework. But it's a framework. It's a step-by-step process. This is the thing that becomes your lead magnet. And I'll go deeper 'cause people are like, "Well, what?" I do a lot of results, what's the right one? I'll show you guys that here in a few minutes but this is the first key is the framework. As I do in notes here today, I was mapping out some businesses I wanted to share examples for anyone, 'cause again, people always like how's this work for my specific business? So here's a framework. So let's just say your dentist. Your dentist, your dream client is somebody who's trying to get straight white teeth. That's the result they want. So what's step-by-step process? Step number one, you've got to brush your teeth twice a day, morning, night. Step number two, you've got to floss. Step number three, you've got to use mouthwash. Step number four, you gotta use teeth whiter. Step number five, you gotta come to the dentist. Step number six, and you have a step-by-step process to get in that result. So if you're a dentist that's the framework. That becomes the lead magnet to get somebody to come in. Let's say you are selling a ketogenic diet or you're network marketing program is selling ketogenic things. So let's say your dream clients are people trying to lose weight. You lost weight, how'd you do it? Here's a step-by-step process I used to lose weight on the keto diet or the paleo diet or the whatever you're thing is. Here's my step-by-step process. That becomes the framework now that you're going to share with people. Oh, I was going to show you some examples. So some of the products I've created throughout the years. My very first product ever created somebody hasn't heard about this one was my how to make potato gun. All this was me saying, who's my dream clients? Somebody who wants to make a potato gun. What's the result? I'm going to use my potato gun. How to make potato gun? What's the step-by-step process? Step number one, you got to go to Home Depot and buy the pipe. Step number two, you got to cut the pipes to slice. Step number three, you got to get the glue. Step number four, and basically I wrote here's the framework of the step-by-step process to create a potato gun. I sat there with a video camera and I recorded myself teaching step one, two, three, four, but this was just a framework of how I made a potato gun. That's it and that became a product I could then sell or I could use as a lead magnet or I could use for a coaching program, whatever it is. But this framework is a step-by-step process to get a certain result. There's the result. Let's see, if you've read any of my books, all my books, these t's like "Dotcom Secrets" are all the frameworks of all the sales funnels, how to build sales funnels. Expert secrets is the frameworks on how you tell the stories to convert people inside your funnels. Traffic secrets are my frameworks to get traffic. If you look at one of my books, "Network Marketing Secrets." These are all my frameworks. If my dream client's a network marketer, the result is how to use funnels to get leads for network marketing. This book was my step-by-step framework to be able to do that. "30 Days", this is one of our products called 30days.com. And what I did is I interviewed 30 people and I asked them this question, I said, okay let's say you're going to a brand new complete newbie. Somebody who didn't know anything. So there's my who. And their goal is how did I build a business in 30 days using nothing but ClickFunnels? What would I do? And I had 30 people write a chapter saying, "Okay, well this is what I would do. My step would be step one, two, three, four and this is the process I would go through to get that result. I have 30 different people each write a chapter in here, telling me what their step-by-step result would be to help somebody who's brand new to the launch funnel inside of ClickFunnels in 30 days. I took all these, put them into a book and became a product. I could take one chapter out of this and that chapter could be lead magnet. Like let me show you how Liz Benny, her 30 day plan to go from beginner to startup. However, give me your email address, I'm going to give you Liz Benny's plan. I think one of those out in that framework is something that can become lead magnet. All right. So what a framework is. Does that make sense, you guys? And so all you guys have frameworks Everything we use has a framework. So I wanna start thinking like what are your frameworks? What could your frameworks be? 'Cause everyone's got them. So let me start thinking through that. And I'm going to show you guys in a minute how to pick the right framework 'cause my guess is you have more than one. Mostly guys have more than one result. You can get somebody. But the key there is you're creating a framework. Now, one thing that I'm excited for today you guys will learn about in your homework is how do you make that framework tangible? A lot of us have a framework. Oh, I have a process, how do I turn that into a lead magnet? How do I make it a tangible thing? How many of you yesterday downloaded the one pager I gave you? The one pager is my new favorite tool. As you can tell, I'm obsessed with. Every day of this challenge, you are getting a one pager and then I'm giving you a bonus one this weekend I created two. The one pager literally all it is is it's taking this framework you created and it's making it tangible. It's tangible where somebody could actually take it. They can give you their email address, you can give them something. So one pager is a way to take your framework and then turn it into something you can give people. And again, your homework summit tonight is gonna a chance to actually take your framework and you're gonna build out one page or so. When it's done, you've got this amazing one pager here where it's got your entire framework built out. Like I said you guys got one yesterday. One of my one-pagers yesterday is an example. I'm gonna give you another one today and you'll see it as an example of an actual framework. In fact, back in the house, guys let's pull up the framework for today. So this is the framework I'm gonna be giving you guys tonight for your homework and I'm not gonna go through it now. But if you scroll down really, really quickly, this is basically thinking day two's framework the step-by-step process and it's all in here. So I took my framework and I made it tangible by turning to one pager. Now, I'm gonna give all you guys. So my goal for you guys is the same kind of thing, is you're gonna take this framework you're creating or make it tangible by turning into a one pager then you can give somebody when they give you their email address. All right. One other thing. Oh yeah. One other thing as well as we're talking about frameworks, this is happening more than I think most of you guys realize, more than I realize. And it's, I want you guys to see it. If you watch the way that I teach or the way the products I sell, the things I'm doing all the time, they're always frameworks. Everything I'm doing is a framework and "Dotcom Secrets there's probably 30 different frameworks I share. Expert secrets is probably 22 different frameworks. Travel secrets is like 40 frameworks. They're just different frameworks I'm teaching people and they're all in there. How many guys know what's these right here? This is the manual for Unleash the Power Within. So this is interesting. So 10 years ago I went to Unleash the Power Within, Tony Robbins event, actually probably 12 years ago now. First time I met him in person was in this event was really, really cool. And as I went through this four day event I remember just being blown away. I was like, "This is the most amazing thing in the world." Like, I don't know how Tony does this. How's he gonna stay for 50 hours straight without any notes and teach all of this kind of stuff. And like has these trans these things where he's transforming people's lives like was just the most amazing thing. I felt like almost like "The Wizard of Oz." Like how is he doing this? I have no idea how he's making this whole thing happen. It was so cool to see. And so that was kind of the thing. And then 10 years later, 12 years later, UPW went virtual, And so I wanted my kids to experience this so we signed up, my wife, my kids, we all did together. We got the workbooks and we sat down and Tony got onstage. Virtual stage, day number one, he started teaching. And as he was teaching, really quickly, I was looking at his whole teaching through a different lens than I typically did. In the past, 10, 12 years ago, the first time with UPW I was just like, "This is amazing. I don't really see what happening." Now, 12 years later I've had enough experience. I was like, "I want to study not so much what he's teaching, but how he's teaching. Like, what's his process? Like how does this actually work? And day one, he started teaching and all of a sudden he started teaching and he broke out his very first framework and he start teaching his very first framework. There was a result he was trying to teach us and he walked us through his first framework. And I was like, "Interesting." So what I did is I opened up my notebook and the very first page here I wrote down the framework. The framework was called three levels of mastery. The result that Tony was trying to get everybody at UPW is let me show you how to master something, how to gain mastery. He said there's three steps to it. Step number one is this, step number two is, and step number three is this. He spent like 45 minutes teaching three levels of mastery. And I was like, "Cool." And then he all of a sudden, he went to the next framework. He said, "Okay, next framework." He didn't say it this way. Next thing is the three mandates of leadership. I'm gonna teach you guys the result, how to become a leader. He said there's three mandates of leadership. Step number one is this, step two is this, step three is this and he went on. I wrote down that. There's a second frame he taught three mandates of leadership. And all of a sudden Tony went from there to the next one. He said, "Okay, I'll teach you guys my success cycle." Boom the result, how to be successful. Here's the step-by-step process for the success cycle. And then he went on the next one and it was the three decisions that changed your life. He said, "Here's the result, I'm going to show you guys how to change your life." Here's the three decisions, boom, boom, boom. Then he went, the three patterns of focus and meaning. How to change the meaning in your life. How to change your meaning, you change the meaning change life. Here's the three patterns of focus. And then the two primary fears. You're struggling, you have these fears. Here's your primary fear, how to break them. Number three, the three ways to grow a business, boom, boom, boom. The two ways to master skills, the three forces of creation, the three chunks of practical psychology. The three things that cause suffering, the tried, the three molders of meaning and then the six human needs. And I watched it. That was day one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13. So day number one at UPW, Tony went through 13 different frameworks. This is how Tony is able to get up and speak for 50 hours without notes. He's like, "I have my frameworks, I know what they are and I'm just gonna go through them in order." Step number one, I'm gonna teach you guys the three levels of mastery. Step number two, the three mandates of leadership. Step number three, the success cycle and on, and on, boom. That was day number one, UPW. Day number two, he had a whole another set of frameworks. Day number three, a whole another set of frameworks. Day number four, a whole another set. All you guys have frameworks to do the thing that you do. You just didn't know what it was. First time I watched Tony speak I was so mesmerized. I didn't understand and all of a sudden, the second time I felt like it was like "The Wizard of Oz." Like I saw the guy behind the curtain like, "Oh, he's just he's got a whole bunch of frameworks that are amazing and he's teaching them like that that's the secret." A lot of guys like "No, I think people see things, no you don't." You went to dental school and somebody taught you a result. You learned the skill set and you came back and now you follow the step-by-step framework to get people's teeth cleaned or you're an orthodontist and you know how to get the results like get people see straight. That's what I do, no, no. All you did is you went to college, you learned a framework, you came back and now you apply that framework to get people see straight. Every business you're in that's all it is. You have a dream customer, they want a result. You know how to give them that result. You went through the process, you paid the price. At one point you did it either through school or through learning for somewhere. Somehow you learn that thing and now you're helping through the process. That's it, that's the game, you guys. You have to understand that you have these frameworks. And so that is the key to building out lead magnets is the key to creating products, is the key to creating services, is the key to creating everything is understanding that you have frameworks and start looking for them. So I to show you that 'cause I want you to see like that's what everyone's doing, that's what I'm doing, that's what Tony's doing, we have our frameworks we teach them, we show them. So my frameworks come in training like this So I take my frameworks I develop them into software. Some people create framework, they turn those frameworks into supplements. Here's the supplements to take, to get the result I want. Some people doing the coaching, we do consulting Some people do with actual physical products like every single business is that. Think about a restaurant, what's the result in the restaurant? My dream client, somebody's hungry, I'm going to feed them this food. They're gonna feel happy. What's the step-by-step process? They come in, we feed them this, we do this, we take it. And here's the process we go through. So all you guys have frameworks. The value you have is your frameworks. So when you start thinking through that through a different lens and somebody's like I don't have frameworks yet. I promise you do. You just haven't started identifying. This is your job to start breaking down like what are my frameworks? What are the things I know how to do? When I create my potato gun DVD I didn't know it was a framework. I just knew how to build a potato gun. So I made a product teaching it. Looking back I was like, "Oh." I built the frame. I built a potato gun so I had a result. I just wanted to replicate so I walked into the process now everyone can build a potato gun. There's a recipe it's really simple to do. All right. So this is the key. You guys understand that? So next question is like Tony had 13 different results and frameworks for day one. Like what's what frameworks should I be using? That's the big question. So let me come back. And so what I want to talk about is there's this path of you taking your dream customer on a journey and there's different results you can give somebody. There's like big results. Like if you look at my mission, my mission is to help entrepreneurs like you to grow their companies through sales funnels. That's the big result. Like that's the ultimate result I want to get for somebody. There's a lot of sub results underneath that. And so what I did the other day I was kind of mapping this out as I was preparing to teach you, how do you break this down in a way it's simple for people? So think about like for you with your clients, there's the ultimate result. So this is the thing, ultimate result. So for me my ultimate result is gonna help you grow your company through sales funnels. The problem typically with an ultimate result it's a big goal, it's awesome. But guess what? It's typically not a very sexy hook. If I was like, "I'm gonna teach you guys how to grow your company with sales funnels." Like, "Is that hook good?" It's like, "Oh, it's okay but it's not like great." Typically our ultimate result we're trying to get somebody is not like the sexiest most exciting thing in the world 'cause it's so broad, it's so big, it's just not that tangible. 35,000 people who would not have registered for this event, if I was like, "Hey, if you sign for this 5 Day Event I'll teach you how to grow your company with sales funnels." You're like, "Ah" So the ultimate results like this is what we're trying to take people. This is typically not what we're actually selling. Underneath this ultimate result, there's a whole bunch of what I call core results that we offer people. So you come down here and there's different core results. I'm gonna list a couple of them here and every business has these core results. So for me, like, for example, if my goal is to grow your company through sales funnels, so how do I do it? There's a lot of ways to do that. Well, one way, one core results that I could do that by teaching you guys how to build and launch a webinar, that's one way. Make sense. Another way I could do is like let me show you how to drive traffic into your funnels and that if you learn to drive traffic that'll lead to your ultimate result. Oh, another one is I'm gonna show you how to write copy, how to tell your stories. Another one is gonna be whatever. So I have these core results here. So this is the ultimate result. These are your core results, right here so you can see it, core results. That's the second thing here, so these are the core results. Now, typically you'll get in what most businesses, the core results, these become like your actual products. So I have a product teaching people how to grow a company with a webinar. Perfect webinars secrets, I teach people. Here's how to write a webinar and how to do sales page and how to do your webinar funnel, how to drive traffic, how to do leads, how to close the sale, like I have a cold course that teaches that. And so some people are coming here and like, "Oh, I want to learn about build a webinar that's way sexier." Then they coming here they're gonna buy the thing on webinars. Which ultimately is gonna help them to grow their company with sales funnels 'cause webinar is the type of funnel or traffic. That's the traffic secrets book. Traffic secrets, like if you have a funnel you need to get traffic to drive to grow your business. So I have this book, traffic secrets that teaches people how to get traffic which ultimately helps them with the ultimate result of trying to get you, which is how to grow your company's sales funnels. 'Cause traffic is one piece of that, copy is one piece that always things are piece of that. So think about your business. Like what is the ultimate result that you offer your clients? The end goal, the end-all be-all. I want to help people to transform their life I want to help people that whatever they thing might be. So now, break it down. Like, what are the four or five things they have to master or learn? What are the things that are the core results that they're gonna have to learn to be successful with this? So for me, typically, and by the way you can see this here, magic inside my books. First thing I have to learn is how to master funnels. I'm sure you've learned how to master copy inside the funnels. Number three, how to learn to get traffic. So like, if you were writing a trilogy like I did for your business, here's the ultimate result. What are the different books or products or things that are gonna help ultimately, help people to get that ultimate result? And again, I want you brainstorming through this and you're gonna be doing your homework down here. So I'm gonna have you say, "Here's the ultimate result, here's the core results." Now, the next step after that because this is where we're actually gonna be selling something. And actually when you guys decide to join the one funnel away challenge, actually next week we're doing one funnel challenge. We're starting over from scratch. I'm doing it live just like I'm doing this live. I'm gonna do it live for 30 days. It's a 30-day challenge. And in the 30-day challenge when we focus on taking one of these and actually building out an entire funnel to sell something. This challenge about generating leads. The next challenge is about actually selling something. So the one funnel away challenge I highly recommend you guys when this challenge is over to sign up for that one. Again, I go live on Monday but I'm going to teach, we're taking this and how to make a sales funnel selling one of your core results you offer somebody. But I'm gonna take more step further. So for your primary lead magnet, lead magnet, you're bringing in, I'm not using this as my lead magnet. I'm gonna go one more tier deep. So under webinar, it was a bunch of these splinter results. So I'm gonna call these splinter results or frameworks. Every step has got 'em. Some would call it splinter/frameworks. I hope, sorry, my handwriting's horrible. But on the one page, guys, you're able to see my actual handwriting. So these are the splinter results. So if you look at this, my ultimate result I'm trying to get people to grow their company with sales funnels. One of my core results is like I'm gonna show you how to build a webinar funnel 'cause if you have a webinar funnel successful, you're gonna be able to grow your company with a funnel, a webinar funnel. So then inside of webinar if like what are all the pieces? What are the core things? I should look, well, to be successful the webinar, number one, you have to learn how to like actually write a webinar presentation. So that's the core result or excuse me, a splint result is I gotta teach you this one, write this one in black. This is how to actually write your webinar. So for me, my framework here is called the perfect webinar, perfect webinar. That's the framework. Over here, you have a webinar presentation that's awesome. But you also, if you've got the presentation you also need the webinar funnel. If you have the funnel, you also got how do you drive traffic. So there's traffic inside here. There's a bunch of different these sub results. And one of them, one of the frameworks in here is how do people actually show up? If you will actually show up to webinar. So these are all these core. These are all of these splinter frameworks that they have. Now, your splinter frameworks, these are the key, this is what becomes your lead magnet. The further down you go on this, the sexier the thing becomes because it becomes more and more and more and more specific. The more specific it is, the sexier it is. Your lead magnet wants to be so sexy that people are going crazy, they have to get it. I showed you guys yesterday double your dating, what was the lead magnet? The kiss test, how to find out if, when you're on the doorstep, how to find out if she's ready to be kissed or not. The ultimate results for this person to get married and fall in love. Down here, it's like how to find a girl, down here is the kiss test. The kiss test is sexy. That's the thing like, "Oh, I need to know that framework. I got to figure that thing out." So for you it's like, "What is this, like what is the thing that's the most sexy, exciting, intriguing?" Someone's like, "I need to know that thing, what is it?" So for the example I'm gonna show you guys tonight in your homework is I decided to pick this right here. I said, "Okay, the one I'm gonna pick is this right here, how to actually show up the webinar." So I took that over here. I said, "Okay, how do you get people to show up the webinar?" What's my framework for that? And I had seven steps. So here's my framework. Step one, step two, step three, their seven steps. Here's seven things I do to get to make sure if you will actually show up for the webinar and then they're prepared to buy from you. And I turn it into a framework. And then from there I turn it into a one pager, one pager. And that became my lead magnet. And somebody saw yesterday, notice was on your homework. Do you see it? I did it ahead of time. Run your homework yesterday, some you saw that. If you clicked on the second of the three lead funnels, the second one was called, what secret webinar hacks. You clicked on that and you saw this framework. It was the seven things that I do to make sure people actually show up to our webinar and buy. And somebody has opted in that and you got it. You got the one pager of this thing. That was sexy, people who are trying to figure out this whole webinar things like, "Oh, how does this work." Like, "Oh, how do you people show up?" Like, that's a good question. Like, I don't know how to get people to show up. That's the sexy hook, that becomes the lead magnet. Someone's gonna say, "Hey, I'll give you my email address that I need that piece, I need that nugget, that thing you've got like that kiss test, how to show up to a webinar or whatever that thing is." Like, "I need that thing." They give their email address and now you're able to exchange it for them. So that's the core. That's how we make these things sexy. We're pulling out the lead magnet here from the splinter results. And so that's the big secret. So what I want you guys thinking about in your business is what does this look like? And for all guys can be different. You guys start thinking through it. From a high level, what is the ultimate result you're trying to get for your for your clients? What is that? The ultimate result, that is the thing that's up here on the top of the thing. This is the ultimate result. Now, you break down, you say, "Okay, what are the core results?" There's going to be three, four, five, 10 different core results that all lead to this. And each of those is its own journey, it's its own result. There'll be four or five mountains you got to get to before you scale Everest. So what are those other mountains? What are these other results you get for somebody? Those are the core results. And then from the core results, it's like, Okay, let me do one more tiered lower. What are all the things that go into the core result? Here's the different frameworks I have, there's four or five frameworks for that. I'm gonna grab this one that becomes the sexy, so that's how it's gonna work. If you think about this, let me go back to my books for a second. So say "Dotcom Secrets", for example, so my ultimate results help you grow company's sales funnels. This book right here is the underground playbook to grow your company with sales funnels. So this becomes a core result. You buy this book, it's gonna teach you guys the core results about building a funnel. With that core result inside of here there are how many secrets? 28. There's 28 secrets. So for me each secret is a framework. So I could grab, I look at all my 28 frameworks, like which one's the most exciting? There's a whole bunch in here. There's the secret formulas, hook story offer, there's the value ladder, there's attractive character, there's funnel hacking, the seven phases of the funnel, there's followup funnels, there's lead squeeze funnels, survey funnels, summit funnels, book funnels, cart funnels, challenge funnels, VSL funnels, webinar funnels, product launch funnels application funnels, curiosity-based headlines scripts, who, will, why, how scripts, star story solution script, OTO script, there's a perfect webinar script, the product launch script, the four question closed script, the set or closer script, there's click funnels, funnel stacking and funnel audibles. So that's the 28 frameworks inside this book. So I will look at this. Which one of those 28 frameworks is the most exciting? I'm like, "Okay, what's the one that can be most exciting?" I'm curious for you guys, which one was the most exciting? Would with a secret formula whoever wants secret formula? I could take the secret formula and that becomes the framework that I'm gonna give away, turn into a lead magnet. Or I could take funnel audibles. Somebody goes like, "Oh, what happens if your funnel flops? What do you do?" Boom. I can take the funnel audibles, one. Take the step-by-step framework I have for that one. Turn to one pager, make up a landing page and boom that fast I've got a lead magnet. So start thinking about your business that way. What are all the frameworks of the sub frameworks, the splinter results they're inside of the core thing you're trying to teach people. And in there is the magic. I'm looking, what's the sexiest things to get people to raise their hand, find that thing, pull it out. Look at here's the step-by-step process. And then we're gonna turn into one pager tonight and this will become a tangible thing that now you can exchange for an email address. Does that makes sense? All right. I'm excited. I got one more thing I want to share with you guys today and I'm gonna give you your homework assignment. So the last thing I wanna share with you guys, I know that a lot of you are coming into this world. You didn't come here as an educator. You came here because you really good at getting this result. And now you're like, "Man, for me to create a league man I've got to educate people, I've got to give them a framework and teach it in a way that gets them excited and make them wanna continue this journey with me. And you're probably nervous. And so I wanna share with you guys a framework that's going to teach you how to actually teach your framework. And this is something I use over and over and over again. And it's my framework for how to teach frameworks. And so I'm gonna show you guys how this process works because as you start creating a framework your gonna need to know how to do this. So step number one, you take your framework. So here's your framework. You've got your thing and here's your steps. Step one, two, three, four, five, however many steps you got and I don't care. It could be two steps, it could be like some of Tony's here were the three levels of mastery, three mandates, the two primary fears, the two master skills. So your framework doesn't have to be 80 steps. It can be two steps. It doesn't matter if you have your framework. So now you have this framework. How do you teach this? I remember when I first started developing my own frameworks, I know it was called that time but I remember I was learning this stuff. I was putting it out in my notes. I was like, "I'm gonna teach this." I got invited to speak at a seminar. I remember I got there to seminar I was so nervous, I was so awkward. Somebody hasn't seen the video I had my tie on and my glasses on, a shaved head I was trying to be very businessly. That's what business people do I thought. And I got there to start teaching. And first thing I do is, "Okay, I've got this framework. I know exactly how it changed their lives. I've gone on this path, I got a result. I'm going to give them the result, I'm going to shove it down their throats. I said, "Okay, here we go." I came in, I start teaching the framework. All right, guys, my name is Russell Brunson, step number one, how to be successful, what do you do? Step number two, and I went through my framework. And this framework is something that I had spent years learning and understanding and mastering. It was so important to me. I remember I met this event teaching two or 300 people, as I'm teaching people I started looking around and the audience is like nodding off. People are falling asleep, people getting up and the walking out of the room. I remember being so frustrated thinking like they don't know like what I'm giving them. Like this is so valuable. I remember there's a scripture in the New Testament where Christ talks about not casting your pearls before swine. And literally that's how I felt. This is this pro I spent two or three years mastering, learning and understanding this result. I know how to do. I'm trying to give it to people. I feel like I was casting my pearls before swine. How frustrating is that for you as an educator? I was ready to quit. I was like, "This is dumb." Like none of you really understand what I'm giving them. Like they understood what I had to learn and understand. Like I literally had to bleed to learn these things for them and they're just like walking away from them. I was so frustrated. So I did the first event I was like, "That was horrible." I got invited another event, same thing I come in it changes people's lives. Here we go, step number one, Step number two, step number three and people were passing out. I go to the third event and I'm just so discouraged. I'm like, "This is dumb." Like I feel like I'm just wasting my time, wasting their time. I get on stage and start teaching it. I go through the first thing, the second thing, some guy stands up and walks out. I get so mad. I slam my hand down on the desk and everyone sits up. I remember like being kind of shocked I had everyone's anyone's attention. And then the angry Russell came out and I said, "Do you not understand what I'm about to give you guys I'm trying to share this. Somebody just walked out, half of you guys are sound asleep, let me explain to you what I had to go through to understand, to learn this." I started walking through, I had to buy this course and this course, and this course, and I did this, I did this. I lost money here, I have some bankruptcy, I did this. I started going through all the story about how I learned and how I earned this framework. I went through the process and when they were done, when I was done telling that story, I was like, "Now you guys want to hear this?" And they're like, "Uh-huh, we're ready." I said, "Okay, step number one is this boom." And guess what? Nobody moved. Nobody got up, nobody left, nobody fell asleep because now they respected the pearl that I was trying to give to them. The first step when you are teaching your framework, step number one is you have to tell the story about how you learned it or earned it. If you do not tell the story about how you learned or earned it, they will not respect what you are about to give them. This is the pre-frame that gets them prepared to be worthy of the thing you're trying to give them. This increases the perceived value. Now they're like, "Oh, my gosh he went through all this pain and suffering and torture to get this thing for me, I'm gonna pay attention to it now." So step number one, you tell them the story about how you learned you learned or earned it. Step number two, now here's where you teach them the strategy. The strategy is the overarching thing. What I'm doing today, this is strategy. This is me mapping out. Here's the strategy of how to do it. I'm teaching this strategy so you understand the concept. Let's say I'm an army general and I got always these warriors about to go to war, and if I don't tell them the strategy first, like, "Hey, you go over here, you go over here." And start giving them the tactics about where they're gonna go. People were like, "Why am I going over here? This makes no sense." Most of them aren't gonna follow you. You want people to follow you into war. The first thing I do is explain to them here's the strategy, here's what we are trying to do. When they understand the strategy, now it's like, "Hey, here's the tactics, you go over here, you go over here." Like, "Okay, I'm going over here because I'm part of this. I understand the strategy." So next thing you do is you have to share them the strategy. Do you guys notice that every single day is I'm going live here, what am I doing? I'm teaching you guys the strategy of that part of the framework. I'm not going to the tactics. The homework does the tactics. The homework is like, "Let me log into one pager and do thing." Let me log into ClickFunnels and show you step one and set like, okay, here, I'm showing you the strategy. If you believe in the strategy, then you're gonna go and do anything it takes to go and fulfill on the tactics. If I just give you the tactics though, you're gonna be lost. So I teach you the strategy. After you understood the strategy, then number three now here's where you give them the tactics. The tactics are like, "Okay, let me show how to do it." Step number one, you gotta go do this. Step number two, like tactics are college. If you're dentist it's like let me teach you how to clean teeth or how to do the thing. The tactics are like the actual, the deep dive, the step-by-step, here's step one, here's step two, here's step three. We're showing them the thing. Tactics are less sexy, but they're the things that people need to be able to the job done. And then the fourth thing after the tactics, then the last thing here , excuse me, is then we show them case studies. Like let me show you how this works in other people's lives 'cause this gives them belief of like, "oh, my gosh, this does work. I see how it works now in practical application" So this is my framework for how to teach frameworks. So for you guys, when you go tonight and you're like, "Hey, I need to build a framework." You're gonna go build out your framework, your step-by-step process. You going to put it into one page. We have like the things in one page, they've got all this stuff they need but then you got to teach them this framework. You gotta make a video of you showing here's how I learned or earned it. Here's the overarching strategy. Go in the one page down below and fulfill all the tactics. And in some cases, people have done it. This is how you do it. If you look at any chapter in my books, this is what I do. "Dotcom Secrets", chapter one, guess what I do? The secret formula, first thing I do I start with me telling the story about how I learned or earned this concept. It was 11:27 a.m. on a Monday morning, no matter what I told myself, I just couldn't get out of bed. I tell the story about how I learned or earned the secret formula. Then I told them the strategy, then I walk up through the tactics and they share a case study about how the whole thing works. That's chapter one. They go chapter two, what's chapter two, the value ladder. What do I do? I first tell the dentist story of how I learned or earned it. Then I walked through the strategy. I walked through the tactics or a case study, that's chapter two. I go to chapter three, guess how I do it? Boom. How I learned or earned it, teach the strategy, show them the tactics, do a case study. That's book one, book two, book three. That's how this whole process works over and over and over and over and over again. That's my framework for how to teach frameworks. I do it in a book, I do it in a course. I've done it today for crying out loud. I just come in here like, "Hey, guys let me go and show you guys how to build the framework." How many stories have I told you about how I learned or earned these different pieces? The strategies, things like that. That's the principle. So this is where we have to start learning how to do. And that is kind of, I think that's the last thing I want to share. All right. How you guys feeling? Are you excited so far? I want you guys to actually pull up the one pager, scroll up really quick. So this is the one pager we're gonna be giving you guys right now. The guys in the background, if you guys can scroll it up so I can see the very top of the page here, that'd be awesome. Hopefully we get them. There we go. So this is the one pager I'm gonna give you. Now, this one pager just you guys are fully aware in all transparency. This one pager is my framework for how to create a lead magnet. I just taught you the strategy. I've told you is how I learned or earned it. I tell you guys the strategy. This framework is gonna be the tactics. And so what's gonna happen. You're gonna see here's the strategy right here. Here's how you create one pager account and then it's gonna walk you through the tactics. Step number one, who is your dream customer? I taught you the guys the strategy behind that. The tactics you start typing in, your typing what is it gonna be? Step number two, what's the ultimate results. Step number three, what's the core results. Step number four, pick one core result in the three five splints results. Step number five, pick your splinter result. In the seven or six, you're gonna go to one page and actually do it. And I got my second framework down here. This the framework, how to use frameworks? You're gonna fill it out like how did you earn this framework? You're gonna share with people. Explain the strategy, walk through tactics, show the case study. So this one page is going to give you the tactics of how to fulfill on everything we've talked about today. I want to walk through these so you can understand what we did say was strategy, this is tactics. A lot of people confused like what's the response tactics and strategy. Here, I'm helping you cast the vision of like, "Oh, this is what we're doing." And then over here now, now we're getting to work. Now, we're doing the things. Just go back to the very top real quick. The other thing is that every single one page has a video. This video right here is me doing the tactics. You're gonna see me click

With everything we have to do... does podcasting really make sense? Hit me up on IG! @russellbrunson Text Me! 208-231-3797 Join my newsletter at marketingsecrets.com ClubHouseWithRussell.com ---Transcript--- Russell Brunson: What's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson. Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. We've got three special episodes for you. The first one, well, actually all three of them are with my guest host, Josh Forti. We're going to be breaking down some cool things. The first episode... What happened in the first episode? It was really good. Josh Forti: Yeah. We talked all about podcasting, why podcasting is important. Russell: Yeah, podcasting. So episode number one, we learned about podcasting, why we do it, how we do it, the reasons behind it, and a whole bunch of other things. If you haven't been doing a podcast yet, it's going to sell you on why you need to do one. If you have done one, it's going to show you guys why and how to amplify it, and why it's so important and how to find your best buyers from it. I hope you guys enjoy this episode. We'll cue up the theme song, and we'll be right back. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. Like I said today, the next actually couple episodes, I've got a guest host with me, which I'm pumped for. We actually did two podcasts. Well, technically, they were podcasts episodes for your podcast, right? Josh: Yeah. Russell: And I ripped them off for my podcast because they turned out so good. One is after the Atlas Shrugged book, Josh Forti flew out, and we did... How long? We went for... Josh: It was three and three and a half hours. Yeah. Russell: Three hours. Yeah. Josh: Three and a half hours, yeah. Russell: Going deep into Atlas Shrugged, which was really fascinating. I actually just reread it recently, so if you want to do Round Two, we should totally do that. And then, after I read Atwood and the devil book, I freaked out, and then Josh flew out and we did one there. So you guys who have been listening to the podcast are familiar with him and his voice. But I asked him, I love doing the podcast, but sometimes I fall behind, and my brother who does our podcast settings, "Russell, any episode today?" I'm like, "Huh." I don't even know what to think. I want someone to help come up with ideas so it's not just me. And so Josh went out to the community, asked a bunch of questions and the next couple episodes are going to be some fun conversations. So I'm pumped, man. And thank you for doing this. I know this you're doing this pro bono to hang out and just to help me out, so I appreciate that. And I'm excited to find out what people want to know about. Josh: Yeah, for sure. I love podcasting. That's my life. If I could do one thing, it would just be, have a show that we just talk all the time. So this is fun for me. It's like asking you to come hang out and geek out about funnels. So I'm super excited, though. It's going to be super cool, and dive in further, and pick your brain, and open up a new world that I don't think a lot of people get to see. Russell: Yeah. It's interesting, because I feel that when it's me doing my own podcast, I pick a topic, I go into it. But it's fun when... Yesterday I had a chance to speak at a virtual event thing, and I did my thing and in the end people ask questions. It just opens up a different side that you don't normally do. And so I don't do a lot of Q&A stuff. So I'm excited to... Josh: Yeah. It's interesting. Russell: And maybe this is the only time we do this. Maybe it's a huge train wreck, and this is the only time it happens. Or maybe it becomes a thing. We'll find out. Josh: We'll try to make it not a train wreck. We'll try. We'll do our very best. I think one of the big things though that I want to start with and kick this whole thing off is why you spend so much time with podcasting. Because here's the thing, man. You're rich. We all know it. You don't have to do this. You have this company that you could. We all learned at funnel hacking live, you turned down a billion dollar offer, so clearly you're not doing this for the money. And you've got a company. You've got a team. You've got all these resources. You could spend money on ads. You could do whatever it is that you want. Yet, somehow you are calling me up and are like, "Dude, I need to do podcasts." And to somebody who gets it, and I get it. I have a podcast. I dedicate time when it doesn't make sense. I put money into a podcast that doesn't make sense. On paper, I get and I understand content and putting it out there, and I've never been at your level either. I don't think a lot of people understand. Why do you do it, dude? Why a podcast? And why are you investing so much of the time that you have now, which is limited, I'm sure? There's a lot of people trying for your attention. Why a podcast? And why is that such a core, fundamental piece that you actually spend so much time on, when you clearly don't have to? Russell: I could probably, in fact, I'll probably give you four or five reasons, because there's not just one reason. There's a lot of them. And I actually, I remember when podcasting started. I was at at Armand Morin's BigSeminar, and someone was on stage, Paul Collier was on stage. He's like, "There's this thing coming. It's going to be the greatest thing in the world. It's called podcasting. And you're going to put these things in your ears and listen to people talk." I remember, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. No one will ever listen to that." I just didn't get it. He's like, "No, this is the future." And I remember because I was my roommate at the time was Josh Anderson, some of you may know Josh, and Josh went and bought every podcast domain he could think of. And I was like, "You're dumb. That's never going to happen." But I do remember, "Well, if I ever did a podcast, I'd call it the Marketing In Your Car Podcast, because when I drive my car, I could record it. And I remember thinking that. And I remember I bought, at the time, Marketing In Your Car, and I did nothing with it for, I don't know, eight or nine years. I just had it. In fact, I even paid someone to write an intro song for it. So if you ever go back to the first episodes, the first hundred-something episodes, there was this really... At the time it was so cool, and now it's corny, but there was this theme song that some guy wrote for me. And I had it for five years, this theme song, and I never used it because I was like, "I don't get podcasting." Then in my business life, we had grown up my company at the time. We had a hundred employees. And then, the long story you guys have heard before, is the company crashed. Everything fell around, and it went from a 20,000 square foot office to 2000 square foot office. I felt like an idiot. I was embarrassed. My status was at an all time low. I was weird. And for some reason in that season of my life, I had this impression, "You need to start podcasting and talk about marketing." And I was convinced at this time I was the worst marketer in the world, because I had just crashed my entire empire. I'm an idiot. I didn't want to, but I felt this impression like now it's time to start a podcast. So I literally, from the ashes of my business, started this podcast, and I had at that time a four or five minute drive to the office. Okay, I can be consistent with this. It's going to happen all the time. I'm going to do it. So I got my phone out, I clicked record, and I would literally just drive to my office and I would just talk about what we were trying to figure out. "All right. Today, we're going in the office and working on this new offer, and this is what we're thinking and da, da, da." And then the next steps were, "Oh, we launched the offer and it worked." Or it didn't work. So we tried this. It was just me documenting. It's funny. I heard Vaynerchuk talk about, "Document your journey." And I didn't know. That wasn't a thing at the time, but that's literally what I started doing. And it was nice, because it was something that was so easy. It was easy to be consistent with. I think if I would have had to do a podcast where, for me, if I had a studio and a microphone, all those things, I probably wouldn't have done it because I wouldn't have gotten enough momentum to stick with it. But it was easy. And at first the way we set it up, we couldn't track stats, so we had no idea if anyone was listening, which was a huge benefit. Because had I known how few people were listening, I probably wouldn't have kept doing it. But I just kept doing it and doing it, not really knowing what kind of return was going to happen. It's funny now. I had someone, about a year ago, go through and start from the very beginning and listen all the episodes. I was trying to get some notes and trying to remember. And it was cool, because they started coming back, reporting. He's like, "Did you know on this day you talked about why you thought anyone who wanted to build a company over 10 million dollars in sales was a moron? You should never try to grow company that big. And then over here you talked about, you're never going to hire an employee again." All my thoughts at the time, which have morphed and shifted obviously. But it's this cool thing where I have this record now of this journey from the ashes to ClickFunnels and beyond. So it's been very special for me. Josh: Okay. Sorry. I want to continue down that path, I want to interject right there. The reason I started a podcast is because, literally, you told me to. You didn't physically be like, "Josh, start a podcast." But all your books, all your content, you're like, "Publish, publish, publish, publish, publish." And I'm like, "Okay." And so it started on Facebook. It started on Facebook Live, and then it grew. And then my friend Daxy, he is like, "Dude, turn it into a podcast. Way more people would listen." All right. So I have, I don't know, four or five hundred episodes now on my podcast that I have done with you and all these different interviews or whatever. But what I tell people is, and this is true in all areas of my life, I'm so blatantly honest on my podcast. I don't filter or mince my words at all. Shocking. Russell: You're filtered on Facebook and Instagram, you're telling me? Josh: Just a little bit. But what's interesting is one of the things that you pointed out there was you have this document. You have this record of exactly where you were at at the time. And so for me, one of the things... And this is bigger than just podcasting. When you're just blatantly honest with yourself and where things are at, and you just turn on the microphone and you just talk, you actually can go back and you can watch your progress. And you can see. Oh man, when I was 26 years old, when this happened, this is what I thought about life, or this is what I thought about this particular topic, or this is what I was learning here. When I'm building a funnel or I'm building something that I knew I worked on in the past and I talked about it, I can literally go back, and I can remember the struggles. And I think it was you. It might have been. It might have not been you. It might have been Gary. I think it was you, though. You were like, "Imagine if Jeff Bezos would've documented every single day or every single week building Amazon." How much people would pay for that. That would be so epically cool. That's what it's like. So I totally understand what you're talking about there. I feel like people are embarrassed to start, they're embarrassed where they're at now. And so they don't want to put it out there. I'll never forget Liz Benny. Obviously, you know Liz. She's amazing. I had her on my podcast. This is probably a year and a half ago. And she's like, "Josh, I've watched you grow so much." And I'm like, "Really?" She's like, "Oh yeah." I'm like, "How do you know?" She's like, "Because I listen to your podcast." And it was like, "Oh, this is a long term thing." It was at that moment that I realized it. Russell: Uh huh. For sure. It's interesting because, if I haven't publicly talked much about this yet, but I've been acquiring old books. I just bought this whole, literally, library of Napoleon Hill books and stuff. And it's been so fascinating because I'm reading through and these are the records of these people and their beliefs and their thoughts. I've got old magazines from early 1900s, late 1800s. I'm reading. I found articles from Thomas Edison, who were in the publishing these. I'm reading this stuff and it's so cool. And one thing, this is Russell guilt. In the Mormon church one thing they always talk about is, you need to keep a journal, so that way your posterity has this thing. And I've never been good at keeping a journal. And what I started realizing as I'm going through all the Napoleon Hill stuff, I'm so grateful that they wrote these things down and they have this journal. And I started from that guilt again. And all of a sudden I was like, "Wait a minute. I don't have a journal, but I've been podcasting now for seven years." This is my record. This is, when I'm dead, my kids or my grandkids or my posterity or people, whoever it is. This is how they're going to learn about me and figure out who I was. And hopefully I shortcut them some trial and error. Here's the journey I went on, but here's what I figured out. I can help them. I think all of us are always talking about wanting to leave an impact. I think my podcast episodes, I'm hoping these are my journals. These are my records. This is like what I just bought from Napoleon Hill. I'm hoping that this becomes something for the future generations that they can build their businesses off and their ideas and their plans. Because my podcast is... It's a marketing podcast, but I don't talk about marketing most of the time. I talk about my family and my kids, and I'm learning, and my personal development and all the things. Marketing is just the hook I got people in, but it's my life record. It's my journal, which is cool too. Josh: Yeah, that is super cool. It's funny. Quick side note, we have to shut down this indifferent theory, because Apple.... Russell: Just spell it different. Josh: Yeah. Believe me. We've tried some things. I'm not trying to push against the biggest company in the world. So anyway, we have a new name. I'm not going to say it yet, but it's coming. But anyway, in the last just couple weeks, I've had to pause doing podcasts. And it's weird because what you said right there is, "I don't keep a journal." But I know that I do keep a journal via that exact same thing. And it was weird. I went to my wife literally two days ago. And I was like, "I need you to, to help me create a system for the short term to be able to document my thoughts because right now I'm not doing it. And I have so many things that we're going through right now." So I totally get that. But I feel like there's got to be more than that. There's got to be another reason besides just the documentation process for the podcast for you. Russell: For sure. That's the first thing. Again, I got four or five that run in my head, so I don't know what the order they'll come out in. But the next one is eventually I wrote a book. And people were like, "These books are so good. How do you know all these stories?" And for me, I have an idea, and the idea percolates in my head for a minute, and I got to tell someone. So usually first person I tell is usually the podcast. I'm thinking about this thing and I talk about it. And so I tell the story the first time. The first time it may not even be that fleshed out. Then I get to the office and I see Dave over there. Dave's excited. I'm like, "Dave, check this out." And I tell it to him again. And then I tell someone else. And then I'm doing an interview and I say it again. And I tell the story four or five, six times, and I get better and better at telling the story. And then when I'm at a seminar and I'm on stage and I'm talking. I have no idea which direction I'm going. All of a sudden, this thing will pop up my head. I've told that story six times three months ago, and it appears. I remember Tony Robbins told me this. He said, "When I go on stage, I have a plan, but the plan, it never goes to plan. I start talking." And then he's like, "These downloads just come from God or from the universe, and they just show up." And for me, as I started podcasting and telling these stories over and over and over again, that's exactly what happens now. When I need something, I'm in a situation, I'm coaching someone, I talking, I'm on an event or a stage or something. I need something often that just, it appears when I need it. And I think it's because I didn't just think about it and forget about it. I think about it. I tell it on a story. It's published. I tell someone else. And then when I write a book, I've told the story 400 times. I know the best way to tell the story now. I've seen what people laugh at, what they don't laugh at, how to do it the right way. In fact, it's interesting, my next book is a personal development book. I've struggled with that one, because I don't have a personal development podcast. And I haven't tested these stories, these principles or these theories. I've been stuck, as you know. I sent you the rough draft eight months ago, and I haven't written a word since then. Part of it is I haven't had a chance to flesh these things out. So it gives me idea to flush out my ideas is another one of them. Another one that's interesting... I don't know the exact stats, but I read it somewhere. I think I talked about on Traffic Secrets.I put it in there. But conceptually, they talked about people who are podcast listeners versus the rest of humanity. And I'm going to tell you about the stat, and I'll tell you how the practical application of that stat, which is really fascinating. So the stat was something like the average person who listens to the radio makes, I don't know, $60,000 a year. And whereas the average podcast listener makes $120,000 a year. So the people you are getting and acquiring, they are people with more spending power. They're more affluent people that are the kind of people who are trying to develop their brain, their minds, things like that. They're more likely to buy a course or software or a Mastermind or things like that, because they're the kind of people who aren't just listening to the radio to numb themselves. They're listening to audio to grow. That's the fascinating thing that you're getting a better caliber customer who are listening. Number two, you are getting them in their most intimate moments. When do you listen to a podcast? It's when I'm working out and I'm by myself and it's me and them, and I have their full attention. I'm not listening to a podcast where I'm writing an email or texting someone. Or I'm in the car driving. I'm getting access to their brains and their minds in their most intimate moments. But it's just me and them. Even video. Josh: It's not even like that on YouTube either. Russell: Yeah. I'll watch a YouTube video while I'm cooking dinner, while I'm doing five other things. Josh: That's super interesting. Russell: I don't listen to podcasts with my kids in the room, because they're going to ask me a question. They're going to mess it up. It's when I'm separate and it's just me and them and that's it. I have a different level of intimacy with the podcast people that I'm listening to. So the higher quality customers, better level of intimacy, and then the practical application. The first time I really got this, it was after I launched my Inner Circle the very first time. And again, it was funny, because I always told everybody I never money on my podcast. I'm doing this podcast, I'm not making any money from it… And as I did it for four or five years, and I launched my first version of my first version of my Inner Circle, and we had a point where we had about 33 people in it paying 25 grand. And I remember at one of the events, somebody asked, "How did you guys bump into Russell?" And all of them were like, "Oh, I saw something, but then I got on this podcast, and I listened to him every single day while I was working out for six months. And he kept talking about this Inner Circle and talking about this thing. He's going to get all these things." And it was fascinating. Almost everyone in the room, they didn't hear about my podcast. Podcast isn't good for lead gen. It's never. Josh: Yeah. It's horrible for lead gen. Russell: You can't just buy ads and blow up your podcast. But people find out about you. They plug in to your podcast. And the people who make that transition from, "I saw a book." "I saw an ad." "I saw something." And they make that transition where they actually get the phone out, subscribe, and then plug you in. Those become your best customers, your highest buyers. They're the best. And so the practical application is yes, by doing this podcast, I'm taking... And I talk about this in Expert Secrets. And actually my Inner Circle meeting last month, we talked a lot about this. We talked about creating a new opportunity versus an improvement offer. And for the most part you want to create new opportunities. That's what gets people in the door. And I told everyone, your value ladder should be this new opportunity. There's opportunity stacking. The back of the value ladder, there's one section that's saved for people with ambition. New opportunity is all about getting people who have a desire to come in. But people with ambition, and the percentage of your audience is small. The percentage of people who have true ambition, it might be 15 to 20%, maybe. Josh: Yeah. Russell: But those are your most ambition. I told them my Master, I didn't sell you guys new opportunity. Do you want to come to Boise and talk to other entrepreneurs? Or are you going to get better and stronger and smarter, all the ER words? You guys are the ones at the top of the value ladder. You are ambitious. So I'm not selling you new opportunity. I'm selling you guys improvement. And it's the hardest thing to sell, but it's what one tier of your audience wants. I feel like same thing, the people who are listening to your podcasts, these are the people who want improvement. These are the ambitious ones. They're not the tire kickers. And so it's the best way to convert people in their highest ticket backing things as well. Josh: Yeah. And I also think, one thing that's very important to point out, I think here, is the style slash type of podcast that you particularly create. Because I've studied a lot of different podcasts. Joe Rogan obviously is a big inspiration of mine when it just comes to creating content or whatever. But what's interesting is that the type of content that a Joe Rogan creates, or that even a Logan Paul or any of the bigger mainstream podcasts, oftentimes it's much more for entertainment. And Joe Rogan, I think, maybe is the blend between the two. But a lot of podcasts, they're not specifically for solving a very specific problem. And so what I always say about specifically the type of podcast that you create, you or Steve or whatever, your type of podcast is horrible for lead generation, but is amazing for lead education. It's because once they're in there, you have that. And what's interesting is one of the times that I listened to your podcast most... I'm going to let you guess. I'm sure you're not going to get it. But what do you think one of the times I listened to your podcast most? Russell: When you're driving somewhere in your car. Josh: That's a time. Yeah. But it's when I'm in pain. When I have a specific pain around my funnel, I will literally go, "Russell has this podcast. He's got all these episodes. I bet you he's talked about it." And so I'll literally go on my phone and I'll keyword search for different things. And I'll specifically go. There was one time I was listening to, it was something about a webinar or something, and you were talking about how you wrote your headlines and basically how you came up with your framework for it. And I remember you did that one time. And so I was struggling with it, and so I literally searched it and I did it. And so the type of podcast that you create, in my head there's two different ones. There's one for entertainment. And then there's one for education. And you create one specifically for education. And when you do that, that's the type of podcast or that's the type of content that literally goes and educates your member. And when you have that, a hundred percent, my top buyers, anybody that gives me top dollar for my stuff, they all listen to my podcast or have been on my podcast and I'll pull something out of it. They're always the ones that pay the most money. For sure. Russell: For sure. It's interesting too. And there's, as you said, a lot of formats. When I did mine, I did a short form for a couple reasons. Number one is it was my drive to the office, so that's how it started. But number two, I love Joe Rogan and I probably listen to one of his entire podcast ever. Josh: Oh my gosh. I probably listen to a hundred of them at least. Russell: And I get overwhelmed, because each one's four hours long and there's all these different people. Everyone keeps talking recently about the Jewel one. "It's the greatest thing in the world. You've got to listen to it." Four hours. I could get a whole audio book, the entire book done in four hours. Is that worth the investment? I don't ever want to dive into it, because it's so big. Whereas mine, again, someone's in the car and only got a 10 minute commute. Boom. Throw it in. They get an episode. And then what happens is they get hooked, and then they'll listen for four hours. So it's different though, because if Joe Rogan's were broken up into even 20 minute blocks, I would probably listen to all of them. Josh: YouTube Joe Rogan clips. It's Joe Rogan experience clips. And it's literally 20 minute episodes. Russell: Oh cool. Josh: So if you ever want to. Russell: That's probably what I would do. And I think it's interesting. And then also another nice thing about short form is people come in, they listen to one... And I get this all the time. People are like, "I got your podcast, listened to three or four episodes, and I loved it. So I started at the very beginning and I binge-listened to all of them." It happens all the time as well. Whereas Joe Rogan, you're not going to binge-listen because that's 65 years worth of content you're going to go through. Mine, they're short. I'm going to go to the beginning. And they start and they binge listen. And then they've gone through your journey with you. And by the time they show up, they know everything that you've ever said. And they're so much easier to work with if they've got that stuff. I think everyone needs... It's one of the things where you're not going to see a big return or not initially. But over time, if you're consistent with it, it's the best thing. And then obviously, I don't use my platform for this, but you do and I think it's brilliant. It gives you access to all these people. Whereas the interviewing people, you get access to people you can't otherwise. Josh: Doors open that you literally can't even understand simply because you're like, "Hey, I have a podcast and hey, I've got these couple other cool players on here. You want to come?" Alex Hormozi is coming on my podcast. I literally reached out to him, "I have a podcast." And a hundred percent, I'm going to admit something to you right now. I was like, "Hey, I had a podcast, and Russell's been on a couple times. You want to come on?" He's like, "I love Russell. Of course I'll come on your show." Russell: That's awesome. Josh: Crazy big doors that get open simply because you have a platform to be able to allow someone to use their voice as well. Russell: I remember, before Tony and I were super close, we met a couple times and stuff, but I remember he was doing some launch. I remember Lewis Howes and him did a big interview. And three or four people they interview sound so annoying. Why is Tony hanging out with these people and not me? And now all of a sudden, I had the ahas. "Lewis Howes has got a big podcast. Oh my gosh. Okay, I need to be able to offer my platform to him to get in that door and really build that relationship." And that's one of the powers of it too. You have a platform, now you've got ability to access people you can't otherwise. As you know. Josh: All right. Two rapid fire questions here really quick. Because I want to move on to the next topic to keep us on track. But number one, what's the Joe Rogan episode that you listened to all the way through? Do you remember which one it was? Russell: Oh, I do know. Yeah. And I actually hate that I listened this one. It was the Gary Vee one. Josh: Oh. Yeah. Russell: And the reason why I listened, because I want to be on Joe Rogan's podcast someday. And I want to see what Gary talked about because... As you know, Gary and I have a... He probably has idea who I am. Josh: You have a light beef. Russell: We've got an interesting relationship. He's not my... Anyway. I've got to make sure I'm the next internet marketer who actually does a better job. Josh: Okay. Two things on that. One, anybody listening, I'm going to do this, so don't take it, but I'll beat you to it. If you ever can get Russell Brunson on Joe Rogan, that's a great Dream 100 gift right there. That would be amazing. Secondly, I've listened to so many episode of Joe Rogan. One of my favorite ones is actually with Kanye. I know everyone thinks Kanye's an idiot. But if you can, that's five hours. It's insane. It's one of the most intense episodes I've ever listened to. But one that is a must-listen to, seriously one of the best podcast episodes ever done is his first interview with Elon Musk. If you ever get the chance, just sit down and listen to it. It's three or three and a half hours, but understanding that dude's mind, Elon Musk, you will not regret that three hours of your life. It was a fantastic episode. So that's the one. Russell: Very cool. Josh: Okay. Last thing here before we move on, are there any other points that we didn't cover about why someone should have a podcast? Wrap up, make your closing arguments around why somebody should go setup a podcast. Russell: The last one I'll say, and I quote Nathan Barry, actually, in Traffic Secrets. And I'll probably mess up the quote, but it was interesting. He talked about how... I think the title of the blog post I share is, You Got to Publish Long Enough to Get Noticed. And he talks about how for most of us there's so much content out nowadays. There's all these things. It's hard to know what's going to be good. 5,000 podcasts launched today. How many Netflix episodes, all sorts stuff. He says most of us find out about a good show at Season Two or Season Three, because of this, we waited to see, our friends talked about it. All of sudden it gets a breaking point where everyone's talking about it, and then you become this overnight success. It's interesting. He said you have to publish long enough to get noticed. And I think that's the biggest thing to understand. Especially most people who are getting started and they're so scared. "I'm going to look like an idiot." "They're all going to make fun of me." "I'm just a beginner." Blah, blah. All these different excuses. The good news is, at the very beginning, no one's listening. Josh: No one's listening. Russell: It doesn't matter. Just do it. This is your chance to actually find your voice and learn how to speak and tell stories, and all those things. No one's listening. And if you keep doing it, I tell people all the time, if you publish consistently for a year, that doesn't mean once a month for a year, daily for a year, or three, four times, five times a week consistently for year. Two things will happen. Number one, you'll find your voice. Number two, your audience will have a chance and have enough time to actually find you. And so it's going out there and just setting it up, the ROI. And I'm a big ROI. You look at my DiSC profile, my number one value is ROI. If I can't see the return on investment on something, it's hard for me to do. It's why I struggled in school. It's why I struggle in awkward conversations. Because I'm like, "What's the point of this?" I don't get it. Podcasting was hard, because I didn't know what the ROI was. And luckily again, I didn't see the stats for three years. Josh: Is that how long it was? It was three years? Russell: Yeah, before we figured out how to get the stats on it. Josh: That's crazy. Russell: But because of that, because I didn't know what the ROI was, and I was just hoping and praying with faith that it would be good. Now I see the ROI. Now it's important. Now I do it twice a week. Regardless, it happens in the queue, in the can because it's that important. Josh: If your number one thing is ROI and you figured out the podcast is worth it, guys, there's your selling point. Go start a podcast already. Russell: Got a podcast. Let's go. Josh: Honestly, it's amazing. And it's so much fun too. You learn so much about yourself. And I think the one thing I'll say about podcasting is you've got to really find your own unique style. I was listening to, I know you know Alex Becker, but Alex Becker is probably one of the biggest influencers in crypto right now. Just insane. One of my friends who got his NFT, and he's up a quarter million bucks in three months. Just insane stuff. One of the things that he said is right now in the industry, everybody is trying to become an influencer. And so he says, "I see all these people trying to model exactly what it is that I do." And he's like, "I have no problem with you guys doing that because I get it." At the beginning, you don't know your voice yet or whatever, but he's like, "You'll never be me." And I won't use the language that he used. But he's basically like, "There's only one me, so eventually model me, do whatever you need to do. But eventually go find your voice. Go find your own thing, because that's why people are going to watch you. I'm going to make sure that you're irrelevant if you try to model me long term." And so it's giving you that permission to model somebody at the beginning, but then, people are not going to listen to you if they can go listen to somebody else that has the exact same style. So it allows you to really be yourself when you give yourself permission to just try different things. And at the beginning, like you said, no one's listening. Russell: Yeah. It's funny talking about modeling. I talked about this yesterday on a call I was on. It's fascinating because people, they're trying to copy or model somebody because they're trying to get those people to attract the right audience. And Myron said, "You don't attract who you want, you attract who you are." And so if you're trying to be someone else, you're not going to... Because you want those customers. It's going to be weird. I remember when we launched ClickFunnels, I was trying to be like all the other internet marketing guys, because I thought I was competing against Ryan and Perry and Traffic & Conversion. So I was trying to be more corporatey businessy, like they were. Wait a minute. That's not me. I'm not going to wear a shirt and tie on stage. I'm not going to wear a suit jacket. I'm going to wear my t-shirts and jeans. And I'm going to talk about my family and God and wrestling and things I'm excited by. And I don't care about agency, not that I don't care agency, but I don't care about... I'm going to speak to the entrepreneur, because that's who I want. Wherein Ryan and Perry, literally, one of their Traffic & Conversions were, "This is less for the entrepreneur, more for your teams and your staff." It's crazy now because you look at the... I thought we were in the same market, but as soon as I leaned into who Russell was, it's separated. And it's not that one's better or worse. They're different, but if you go to Funnel Hacking Live, it's my people. You're in the audience. Most of these people here are Christians, who are athletes, who've got kids, who are entrepreneurs, who are not doing this for the money, but doing it because they want to change the world. That's the overwhelming percentage of our audience. Not everyone. But as a whole we attract who we are. So lean into that, because otherwise you're going to attract people you don't like, and you're going to hate your life, and you're going to hate your business, you're going to hate your customers. But you put yourself out there, the people who do not resonate with you will leave on their own. You don't have to kick them out. They're be like, "Russell's annoying." I get people all the time, if I mention God on a podcast or anything, they're like, "If you're talking about God, I'm out." Sweet. All right. Bye. I'm good with that. I know people are like, "I don't believe in God, but I respect that you lean into it." They're cool too. But the people who are offended leave and the people who stick are the ones you want to hang out with anyway, because you attract who you are and not who you want to bring in. Josh: And I can talk about that topic super long, but I want to keep moving on the next piece here. Russell: That's it for the first episode then. Here with Josh on the Market Secrets Podcast. We're going to transition to the next one on the next episode.

Welcome back to our fun hangout time in quarantine, every single day. I am trying to set up, I'm sitting in a different spot, so I can actually sit in a chair today, because the last two weeks I've been sitting on the floor and my legs are burning. So we're hanging out a little differently. Hopefully this still works and you guys can all hear me. And right now, we are live on Facebook and Instagram, and I'm excited to be hanging out with you guys today. So, it is Friday. We are a couple of weeks into this whole crazy quarantine now. I think I told you guys, Boise officially got locked down a couple of days ago, which is good for you guys. Means we all get to hang out more often here, and we're going to start sharing more things from the books. And I'm curious, how many guys have had a chance to listen to the entire audiobook? I know that the new Traffic Secrets book doesn't actually ship until May fifth, but the audio book is available. I sat in a theater, or studio actually, for seven days. It took me three days to read the Traffic Secrets book, two days to read the DotCom Secrets, and two days read the Expert Secrets book. I got audiobooks done of all three of the new updated versions, but curious how many guys actually had a chance to listen to the whole thing? I know a bunch of guys were like, "I'm going to buy it. I'm going to get the audio book, and I'm going to listen to the whole thing before tomorrow." So hopefully a bunch of you guys had a chance to listen to it, which would be really fun. So, all right, Chris Baden said, "Me." All right, so, good. If not, it's time to... What are you guys doing? We're sitting around doing nothing anyway. Might as well be listening to sharpen your saw, sharpen your mind, and getting prepared for what's coming next. So, Austin said, "Russell, BJJ or wrestling?" Come on, now. Wrestling is the greatest sport of all time, but BJJ is number two. So, it is good. All right, are you guys excited for today, I'm going to read some more of the book. In fact, we are finishing up section number one today, here inside Traffic Secrets. I'm going to open this thing up. And this is the box set, this is the trilogy. And it's funny, I sent this to Liz Benny, a picture. I'm like, "This is the trilogy." And she's like, "Russell, there's four books. A trilogy only has three." And I was like, "Crap." Well, I'm like, "This is the trilogy, and this is the workbook that goes with the trilogy. So there's four books in a trilogy." I don't know. "Trilogy" sounds cooler. So, there you go. And check this out, if you see the book... Can you guys see the box set? It's really cool. It says, "The Secrets Trilogy by Russell Brunson." On the back, it's got the Dotcom Secrets is the framework, Expert Secrets is the fire, Traffic Secrets is the fuel, and then Unlock Secrets is your playbook. And then this side is a quote, I don't know, it might be backwards for you guys. It says "You're just one funnel away," and then a quote from Garrett White says, "The life you want, the marriage you want, and the family want are going to be fueled by the businesses you build." And so that's kind of what's in the box set. All right. Let's open this up. We're going back in Traffic Secrets. We've been doing this every single day now for almost two weeks, which has been a lot of fun for me. And we're almost to the end. Today we're going to finish up talking about the first section of the book, which is going to be cool. So we've covered a lot of stuff. So section number one in the book is all about... In fact, if you look at the title, section one is called "Your Dream Customer." It's really understanding and mastering your customer. Where are they at? How do we find them? How do we get a hold of them? What are the hooks, the stories, the offers for you to grab their attention, to pull them into your world? Who's already congregated? How do we follow up with those people? All the things we've been talking about. And so, secret number seven is infiltrating the Dream 100. How do you do that? It's going to be really fun. And then next week, we're getting into section number two of the book, which is called "Fill your Funnel." This is now where we started breaking down different networks. We're going to Facebook, Instagram, Google, YouTube, podcasting, and a bunch of other ones. I'll show you guys a pattern of how we dominate all of those. But when you understand the pattern, what's cool about it is we'll give you the ability to dominate anything. Cause you can use this process to dominate TikToks, Twitch, the new platforms coming out next week. Xavier said, "Throwing my wallet on the screen." That's amazing. I love it. I love it. All right. So we're going to Dream 100. So, infiltrating your Dream 100. How do you get into those people? This is the question a lot of people have, cause I've been talking about Dream 100 pretty consistently now for a decade. I tell people, "Build your Dream 100. Go find those people. Network with them, build relationships, get them to promote you." Things like that. And it's funny, because some people hear me say that, and they don't do anything about it. That's the majority of people. Some people hear me, they build the Dream 100 and start contacting, but they never get in with them. They never ask them to do anything. They just kind of start the exercise, but they don't actually finish it. And so this is going to help you guys understand how to finish this exercise. How do you take this Dream 100, and how do you infiltrate it? How do you build relationships? How do you get in with them? So secret number seven, we're on page 104. Those who are following along in your books, which haven't been shipped yet. They ship May fifth though, so you should be getting them about a month from now. You guys should all start getting your books. If you don't have your book yet, or the audiobook, you can go get a free copy at trafficsecrets.com. You just got to cover the shipping, which is not that much money. I think it's under 10 bucks in the U.S., And a little more international. If you go to trafficsecrets.com, you can get it. There's a bunch of amazing videos and you get immediately the bonuses. Plus, the order form bump is the audiobook. So if you want to listen to it this weekend, you can go upgrade your order and get the audiobook, and you can listen to me reading this entire book to you. And yeah, so it's kind of fun. All right. So, infiltrating the Dream 100. So I want to tell you guys a story that I tell in the book. How many of you guys remember the Arsenio Hall Show? How many of you guys are old enough? I turn 40 this year. So, old enough to remember that Arsenio Hall Show. He's the late-night "Who, who." That's Arsenio Hall, right? Now, I remember when I was growing up, my parents would not let me watch the Arsenio Hall Show for whatever reason. I think it was cause it was late-night. But my friend's parents let him watch it all the time. So he'd always talk about it, and he was always doing that thing. And so, I remember he would tell me stories and I always wanted to watch it. I never did, until one night, we had a sleepover at his house and I got to watch the Arsenio Hall Show. It was so cool, because he would run out, and he does this "Who, who, who," and everyone's excited. He's interviewing people, and they're funny people. And it was just this really cool thing. And what's interesting is, I started doing... Oh, actually, this was really funny. After we saw that, that became our thing. That was Arsenio Hall's thing, but that became our thing. We were playing basketball, we'd dunk on someone. We'd play football, catch a touchdown, and like, "Who, who." It became all of our things, right? Oh, someone said that their aunt worked on the show. How cool is that? All right. So, Arsenio Hall Show, at the peak of it, in fact, in June 1992, Bill Clinton, who was running for president at the time, came on the Arsenio Hall Show, played the saxophone. He played the song Heartbreak Hotel, and many people said that one of the main... Not the main reason, but a big reason why President Clinton won the election is because the people who watched Arsenio Hall Show. They said it helped build his popularity among minority and younger voters, which is one of the main... Not main, but one of the major reasons why he won the election. Which is very interesting, right? Anyway, so then two years after that, Arsenio Hall Show gets canceled, right? And then how many guys have heard of Arsenio Hall since then? No one has, right? He disappeared off the face of the planet. What happened? Until a couple years ago in 2012... I can't believe it was 2012. That was really 10 years ago? I don't know what year we're in right now. In quarantine time, I don't remember what year we're in. Anyway, 2012, we're watching Celebrity Apprentice, cause that's what we do. And all of a sudden, Arsenio Hall is one of the contestants on Celebrity Apprentice. Which we're like, "This is amazing," right? So we're watching this whole thing and there was something interesting that happened. So they do different fundraisers on Celebrity Apprentice, things are happening. And then one of the episodes was a fundraiser. And so all the contestants jump on the phone, they're calling all their friends, everyone they know, they're trying to raise money, right? And every single one of the celebrities get on the phone and raise money. Somebody raise 30 grand, some raise hundreds of thousands. Everyone's got different levels of it. A couple of people raised half a million or something. Everybody raised money, except for one contestant. Can you guess which contestant that was? The only contestant that raised not even a penny was Arsenio Hall. And you see the scene, he's on the phone with his address book, and he's calling person after person after person, nobody will return his call. He's like, "Why is nobody returning my calls?" And then at the very end, they tally up, and he's the only one that doesn't get any money. And they showed us a little clip of him in the boardroom or whatever, talking to the camera. And he's all frustrated. And he just looks at it, and he says, "You know what?" He said, "When I had my own show, everybody returned my call." Boom. Okay? Now, most people missed that. But for me, it rang in my head like a bell. When Arsenio Hall had a show, he had a platform. He was able to call anyone on earth, including Bill Clinton, who was currently running for president and say, "Do you want to be on my show, man?" And the next day, Bill Clinton's on his show, playing saxophone, right? He loses his show, loses his platform. No one returns his call. People ask me, "Russell, how in the world did you get in with Tony Robbins and Dean Grasiozi, and all these people?" And I would love to think that the reason why I got in with all these guys is because I'm so nice, or charismatic, or maybe think my haircut's cool, or whatever. Right? And as much as I wish that was the truth, I know, I'm fully aware that the reason why I was able to get into my Dream 100 is because the thing that I have to offer them is my platform. That is what I have to offer people. So when I met Tony, I'm like, "Hey Tony, I've got a whole bunch of entrepreneurs that follow me. Can I interview you? Can I get to know you? Can I..." I met Dean, "Hey Dean, I want to help promote you. Hey Dean, do you want to be on my show? Hey..." And you can name off all the people in my Dream 100, everyone I've tried to get, my platform is the thing that I had to offer my Dream 100. It's the tangible thing that I own, that I control, that provides value to people who are three, or four, or five levels above me. Right? And so, for you, the question is, you're building this Dream 100, and then how are you going to approach them? Like, "Hey, Dream 100, can you do this thing for me? Can you do this thing?" They're going to say "no," right? They have enough things happening in their lives. The thing you have to offer them is your platform, but you've got to have a platform. Right? And so that's this whole secret number seven is about, is building up your platform. So what does your platform look like? Well, for everyone it's going to be different. Some of you guys... In fact, I'm going to do a poll right here. How many of you guys right now who are listening to this love to write? Like, "I love writing. If I could just write all day, I'd be the happiest person in the world." Okay. If you are someone who loves to write, the platform you need to be building is you need to be starting a blog. You should be writing. How many of you guys are like, "Writing sounds like the worst thing on planet earth. I do not want to write ever, but I love to talk." Right? Okay. Maybe for you, you should be starting a podcast. That's the platform. You love talking and speaking, that should be your thing. How many of you guys are like, "I like writing, podcasting, but I love being on video. I want people to see my face. I want them to see my excitement. Oh, this is amazing." For those, you guys should be starting a video channel, a vlog, a YouTube channel, or Instagram, or Facebook, or somewhere. You got to find the spot that you're the most comfortable. Okay? Because if you're not comfortable, you're not going to be consistent with it. That's number one, figuring out, where do you want to build your platform at? Right? And then, you've got to start actually growing it. Okay? And I have a whole bunch of stuff here, I wish I could read all of it to you. Starting on page 112, it's like, how do you find your voice? Because when you first start your own show, it's scary, right? How do you know how to talk? If you listen to the first 40 plus episodes of my podcast, they were really bad. I was shy and awkward, nervous. And people are like, "Russell, you seem like such a natural communicator. How did you become so natural at it?" I became natural because I published 800 episodes of my podcast consistently three to five times a week, every single day for the last eight years. Okay? And I've been on Facebook Live hundreds of times. And I've been on tons of other… I sound natural because I've done it a lot. I found my voice and I continue to try to develop it and make it better. But it's consistency. Okay? Before any of you guys saw me up here talking to you, it was a decade of me putting in the time and the effort of publishing, and finding my voice, and doing it over and over and over again. And so what I want to recommend for all of you guys is you need to pick a platform, whatever one it is, especially now, especially during times when everyone's stressing out. This is your shot, your chance to step up as the leader that your people are looking for, and start talking. Start sharing. Start giving faith and hope and a brighter future for your people. Now is the time. So I want to challenge you guys to figure out... If you're a writer, you're starting a blog, and I would recommend going to medium.com, starting a blog there. If you're a speaker, you're going to start a podcast. If you like video, you can start a video vlog. And I don't care if it's on Facebook Live, YouTube Live, I don't care. Pick a platform and stick with it. And then, I challenge you to publish every single day for the next year. Starting today. Not mañana, starting today. I want you to publish every single day for an entire year. Okay? And at first you're like, "I don't have stuff to talk about for entire year." I get it. Okay? But what's magic is that you start speaking, more things will come to you. Okay? As you open up your mouth, the Lord will bless you with more ideas, more inspiration, more things. As you share, as you give, as you're helping other people, more stuff will come to you. So it's very important to understand that. Okay? So you got to publish every single day for at least a year. And the reason why we do this is a couple of things. Number one, at first, you are going to be very, very bad. Okay? So you need to start publishing to be able to find your voice, this is the big part of it. If you don't start publishing now, you will never find your voice. The reason I'm good today is because eight years ago, I started publishing every single day. Okay? So you start publishing to find your voice. And first you're like, "Oh, but no one's listening to me." That's good. Cause you suck right now. So it's okay that no one's listening to you. You shouldn't worry about it. Now's the time for you to find your voice and learn how to actually speak and figure out what people actually want to hear. Number two... So number one is for you to find your voice. Number two is you have to publish long enough for people to find you. Okay? Number one, you're finding your voice. Number two, it's you're publishing long enough for them to find you. And there's a really cool blog post that my buddy, Nathan Barry, wrote on his blog. It's called Endure Long Enough to Get Noticed. I'm going to read it, cause it's one of the most powerful things I could possibly share for you guys. He said, "How many great TV shows have you discovered in season three or later? I started watching Game of Thrones after they had released five seasons. Pat Flynn had released at least 100 episodes of his podcast before I even knew it existed. I discovered Hardcore History years after Dan Carlin started producing it. This is such a common experience. There's so much content being produced that we can't possibly discover it all. So instead, we wait for the best content to float to the surface after time. If step number one in building an audience is to create great content, step number two is to endure long enough to get it noticed. Seth Godin is very generous with his time and will appear in almost any relevant podcast, but you have to have recorded at least 100 episodes first. His filter is creators who have shown they're willing to show up consistently for a long time." Oh, oh, this is so good. Do you guys get this? All right. So step number one, you're doing this, publishing everyday for a year on your chosen platform. I don't care what it is. Okay? Number one reason is for you to find your voice. At first, no one is going to be listening and you're going to suck at it, and that's okay. That's the plan. That's the process. Okay? Number two is you're doing it so that your audience can find you. If you just published three episodes, they're never going to find you. You publish 100, they're going to start finding you. You publish every day for a year, you'll have endured long enough that your people will start finding you. Okay, when I launched my first podcast, it was called Marketing in your Car. And I did the same exercise I'm asking you. I was like, "What am I going to be most comfortable with? What can I be most consistent with?" I was like, "If I do an interview show, I have to have microphones and stuff. I'll never do it because it will be too hard." But I was like, "I'm in my car every day for 10 minutes. I'm just going to record a podcast while I'm driving." So I called it Marketing in your Car podcast. And I knew I'm going to be consistent, and do it at least three times a week, and maybe more. And I had days where I did it every single day. And I did it for years. Now, I was lucky at the beginning. I didn't know how to check my stats. So because of that, I never checked my stats. And so what's amazing is, I think I was three years into publishing my podcast before I learned how to find out if people were actually listening. And I am so grateful I never knew. Cause if I had known that the first 40, 50, 60 episodes had 10 listens each, I probably wouldn't have kept doing it, if I'm completely honest. But now I've done this many. Every episode that I publish gets tens of thousands of downloads. Okay? But I had to keep doing it consistently for long enough for my people to find me. And I do it consistently long enough to find my voice. And so that's the secret to Dream 100. And then, when you have your own platform, now you can go to these people who are your Dream 100, and be like, "Hey, I've got a podcast. Yu want to be on it? Hey, I got a YouTube show. You want to be on it? Hey..." And now you have something of value to provide to them. That's the thing you have to provide your Dream 100 is your platform. That is the big secret. And some of you guys are like, "Russell, do I have to publish if I'm going to get Traffic Secrets?" You don't have to. There's a lot of ways to drive traffic. But I promise you, this will make a very holistic traffic. It gives you the ability to find your voice. It gives you the ability to infiltrate your Dream 100, to build the relationships with people you didn't have the ability to before. In fact, as you read this, it's... This is your journey, right? In your podcast, you're documenting your journey of the result you're trying to get for yourself. And here, you're telling your story along the way. I wish I could go on for two days about this alone. But my job is, I'm documenting my journey. Every single podcast, I'm telling my story. I'm talking about what I'm learning today, where I'm going, what I'm trying to figure out, as you're doing this journey to get a certain result for yourself. So don't think, "I'll start my podcast after I figure it out." No, you start today. Figure out what's the result you're trying to get for yourself. Okay? And then document your journey along the way. Every episode is a documentation. Then, in between here, this is your Dream 100. You're pulling people in and you're interviewing them. You're pulling them in, you're interviewing them, and you're building relationships. You have a chance to interview someone for 30 minutes or an hour on your podcast, on your show, on your video, you build the relationship with your Dream 100 you can't get in any other way. Okay? It opens up so many doors, so many gates, and that is the big secret. So infiltrating your Dream 100, you guys, it all starts with building out your own show. I wish that I could just fly to your house and force you to do it. Most of you won't, but the ones who do are the ones who are going to thrive during this time of economic uncertainty, okay? Your people are waiting for you. They're waiting for your voice. They're waiting for your guidance, your leadership. And unless you start doing it, they're never going to find you. And so they always say... This is an old Chinese proverb. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now." So, today. This is the time you guys. You're sitting around and you're in quarantine. You got a whole weekend to figure it out. Figure out, how do we blog? It's easy. You go to medium.com, create an account. Boom. You can start blogging today. Okay? "I don't know how to start a podcast." There's an app called anchor.fm, I think. It's free or five bucks on your phone. You download it. Boom. You can be podcasting today. Okay? A video, I went to Facebook, I put "Go Live." Boom. I'm live. YouTube, same thing. You don't have to wait. Now is the time. Start publishing, start finding your voice, document your journey towards something that you're trying to create, something you're trying to learn, and just share what you're doing. You don't have to make things highly-produced. You're just talking and telling your stories and what you're learning along the way. And as you do that, two things will happen. Number one, you will find your voice. And number two, you endure long enough that your people will be able to find you. All right, guys, I got to bounce, cause I've got an interview with one of my Dream 100 starting two minutes. Yes, I practice what I preach. So I got to jump off here. If you don't have a copy of your book yet, go to trafficsecrets.com and get it. The hardbounds don't ship till May fifth, but the audiobook is available right now. So go and get it. I highly recommend get the order form bump, which is the audiobook. You can listen, for seven hours, me read this entire book to you. So by this time on Monday, when we're hanging out again, you can have this whole book in your brain and done. All right, I have to go, guys. I start in one minute. Appreciate you all. Thanks for everything, you guys. Start publishing. Now is the time. Your people are waiting for you. Let's go. All right. Thanks, you guys. Talk soon.

Russell goes on a rant about “extreme ownership”, mastering webinars, and a whole bunch more. On this special podcast within a podcast Russell goes on a rant about taking responsibility for your own business because he is not your savior, he is a leader. Here are some of the awesome things to look for in this episode: Find out why Russell is going on a rant about taking ownership in making your business successful. See how you can model Russell’s 12 month plan for financial success. And find out how you can get access to every single product Russell has done to be a master of the webinar. So listen here to find out why Russell decided to rant about taking responsibility for your success instead of blaming others for your failures. ---Transcript--- What’s up everybody? This is Russell Brunson, welcome back to the Marketing Secrets podcast. Today I’ve got a rant. Alright everybody, I hope you’re all doing amazing. As I said during the intro today, I’ve got a little bit of a rant. And this is a rant not out of being upset, more out of love for somebody who reached out to me on Instagram the other day, and said some things, and I wanted to grab the person and spot coach them on the spot and be like, “I see what’s wrong.” But instead I thought, there’s more than one person who’s got this exact same problem, so I wanted to do this as a podcast so that it will not only help her, but will help everybody. So I’m not going to tell you her name or situation or story or anything, but I’m going to kind of tell you a little bit of our conversation, I’m going to do a little bit of a rant, and hopefully it will help somebody else out there who is listening, as well as her, as well. So some of the really, really quick back story, this is somebody who has kind of popped in and out of our community a couple of times, I’ve seen her at a couple of events, she’s somebody who is definitely trying, putting forth the effort. So I am, that’s why I’m aware of her, and I’ll kind of leave it at that. She came to an event we did last year for our high end coaching clients, as a guest, I let her come and kind of attend, and I’ve seen her at Funnel Hacking Live, and a couple other spots. So I’m really excited, this looks like good things are happening, momentum is happening, so I was really excited. Then I didn’t hear anything from her for a while. And then a week or two I got a message on Instagram asking if I would help with this project she’s doing. And I didn’t, I get 8,000 messages a day on every platform, and I’m just not able to respond to everything. So unfortunately I don’t respond to most things, unless its something that really pops out. So I didn’t and then she messaged again, and she messaged again, and she was like, “What I’m selling is very similar to what Myron was talking about at this thing. Can you help me? Can you be an executive producer for this documentary I want to make?” So it kind of caught me off guard, and I responded back, in fact, let me see if I can pull up my response here, keep the recording going hopefully. So my response was, “Why don’t you just do a webinar and sell the training direct? There’s a proven model that works over and over again. It sounds like you’re trying to gamble on an unproven model, crowd funding for a TV show. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel, just follow the model that’s proven to work.” She was trying to say, “I’m doing this crowd funding thing for this TV show and I want you to be an executive producer, and it’s going to tell my story and from there we’re going to sell my course that teaches how to do this thing.” I’m just like, “Okay, you could do that, or you could do the model that’s been proven by thousands and thousands and thousands of people that we know works beyond a T, you should model the proven thing, as opposed to running down this rabbit hole on something that makes no logical sense and nobody’s ever done before, because you think it’ll be easier than doing what actually works.” So that’s what I said, and then she responded back, “My honest answer, I wrote a webinar,” Which is awesome, yeah, congratulations. “It sucked.” Yeah, it should suck, the first one you do is always going to suck. “I knew it did, so I never even launched it. Then I went to Funnel Hacking Live 2019, I joined 2 Comma Club X thinking I’d get the help I needed to write it, that didn’t happen.” So that was the thing. So I wrote back, I said, “Okay, I’m going to do a rant today inside the 2 Comma Club X group, I’m going to seem a little frustrated. It’s out of love. I won’t use your name…I’m sure other people need this. Hopefully it’s going to give you a clear road map.” And she wrote back, “I’m not in the 2 Comma Club X group anymore. They kicked me out when I put my account on pause. I have no more credit on my cards.” Okay, so I got a couple things I want to talk about tied to this. The first one is I want you to listen to how she phrased these things, because this is so, so, so essential to your success. The second you put your success on somebody else, you’ve automatically failed. If I could grab everyone of you guys and just yell this to you. Notice what she said, she said, “I joined 2 Comma Club X thinking that I’d get the help I needed to write it. That didn’t happen.” And then, “I’m not in the group, they kicked me out.” Notice in both those situations she put her success on somebody else. “I joined this so I’d get the help. That didn’t happen.” So she didn’t get the help, although the fact we’ve got 9 fulltime coaches, 4 coaches including Myron Golden, Stephen Larsen, Julie Stoian, all of which who are amazing at things. We do live calls weekly between all the coaches. The help was there, she didn’t get it. I don’t know if she thought someone was going to come to her house and write it, but she didn’t…..Its there, the people are there. You have to grab it and take it, be on every single call, go to every single event. Jump on the coaching calls, jump on the open office hours. The things are there, but she said, I didn’t get the help I needed. So I just wanted to put that out. And then, “They kicked me out.” So “I stopped paying and they kicked me out.” She’s putting her success on somebody else. The way that, if you’re taking, and I sent everyone in 2 Comma Club X Extreme Ownership, by the way, so hopefully everyone’s read that, but if you haven’t, that’s the big tweak first off. So I’d be like, my first feedback is you need to take 100% responsibility for yourself. If this was the answer, “My honest answer, I wrote a webinar, then I launched it, I tried it, it didn’t work, so I tried it again, I tried it again, tried it again, after ten times it didn’t work. Then I joined 2 Comma Club X, then I was on every single coaching call, I asked every single coach the question. I got feedback inside the groups, inside the things.” Those are the things that if she had taken personal responsibility for, those are the actions to help you have success with the webinar. It’s not a mystery. I wrote a book on it, we did the 10x Secrets training, which is inside the coaching program, we have all the coaches, all the staff, all the people, it’s a proven model. Half the people inside 2 Comma Club X are doing this thing, if you just jump in and do it, they’re there. Anyway, and then again, “They kicked me out of the account.” They didn’t kick you out of the account. You kicked yourself out of the account, you stopped paying. And I understand if you ran out of money, I totally respect that and understand that, but they did not kick you out, you kicked yourself out by not continuing to pay. It’s just like this little phrase that seems inconsequential, but it’s so freaking important. Don’t put your success on somebody else’s. Garrett White spoke at Funnel Hacking Live 3 years ago and did this whole rant about, for each of us individually he says, and one of the pieces was, “You’re a leader, not a savior.” Our job is not to save you, our job is to lead you, we are leading. How many webinars have I done? How many…inside the member’s area there’s like 15 different webinars that I’ve done that we successful that you can watch, and can watch over and over and over again. All my staff, all my coaches, all my people, everyone knows how to do webinars, the access is there. But the problem is that you wrote one, and then you thought it sucked so you never did it. Alright so, there’s the first part of the rant, it was just personal responsibility. It seems so little, but it is everything. Shifting that from, “They kicked me out. I didn’t get the help I was expecting. I didn’t…” No, no, no you have to shift that, because until you do, you will always be a victim in this situation. That’s the first piece of advice that I wanted to put out there. Now I want you to listen to the second piece of advice. And it’s funny, as I was thinking about this, this morning, it’s funny, for those of you guys that go to church, and I’m assuming it’s true in any church, but we go to church and they’re always like, “You need to pray. You need to repent. You need to do what’s right.” And you’re like, “This is the same message you keep telling me every single time.” And it’s like, it’s the same message that everyone still needs, that’s why we keep saying it. And I feel like it’s almost the same thing. Two years ago I did a podcast called, this is your business plan or business model for the next 12 months. And in there it said basically you need to do a webinar a week live, every single week, until you’re a millionaire, and if you do that every single week for a year, you’ll be successful. And that’s the next piece of advice here. Is that you said, “I wrote a webinar, it sucked. The market didn’t tell me that, I just assumed it sucked, so I stopped trying.” No, that is how you don’t have success. The way you have success is you write a sucky webinar, then you get people on the sucky webinar, you do it, and you suck. Then you look at the feedback from that sucky webinar, you make the tweaks, make it a little bit better, then you do it again, and the next time you suck a little bit less. And you keep doing that every single week for an entire year until you’re a millionaire. That’s it. It’s not that hard. That’s the model, it’s the thing that we’ve….you just…that’s…I don’t even know what to say. So I’m thinking because I did that podcast 2 1/2 – 3 years ago. The time I did it was, it’s funny because Brandon and Kaelin were launching LadyBoss at the time, and they heard that, and then they did a webinar every single week, and boom, now they’re doing like 40 or 50 million bucks this year. And I can tell you a handful of inner circle members who listened to that podcast and guess what they did? They went and boom, did these huge, built huge companies off of it. So just like if I was at church and say, “You need to pray, you need to repent, you need to do what’s right.” I’m going to do the same thing right now and I’m going to actually insert that podcast episode right here, that way you guys can go and listen to it again and realize that this is still the same message. It has not changed. My advice for the next 12 months is the same advice as it was back then for the next 12 months. You need to be doing this over and over and over and over again. So person who this podcast is specifically for, take the crappy webinar that you wrote and then do it, live. Don’t retweak it or change it or hope that somebody else is going to take your responsibility and rewrite it for you. This is your business and you’re the only one that cares about it. Therefore you’re the one that has to do the work, and you’ve got to do it. And then I would go and plug into every single group and go find people and say, “Can you listen to my webinar?” And ask people questions, and then after you do, go watch my webinar, and then watch 5 other peoples. Find Liz Benney’s webinar, or find Annie Grace’s webinar, or find Kaelin Poulin’s webinar, watch all the webinars, watch mine again. Some of the people that have had the most success webinars, told me, “Russell I’ve watched your webinar over 50 times.” 50 times! How many times have you watched my webinar? Have you dissected it? Have you written it out? Have you figured out how you would change this for your market? If not, you’re not trying hard enough, you’re putting the blame on someone else. This is your responsibility to do the hard work. It’s not my role, it’s not my team’s role, it’s not anybody else’s role except for yours. We are not your savior, we are a leader. We are leading, we are going and trailblazing and leading back everything we’re finding. Here’s all this stuff, take it. But you’ve got to be responsible for it, not me, because I don’t care about your business as much as you do. Just like nobody cared about my business when I was getting started. I can’t tell you how many times I failed over and over and over again. It wasn’t on a webinar where nobody was there. It was me failing on a stage in front of people. That is embarrassing, super embarrassing. My wife and I are broke and I’m flying across the country leaving my life with our brand new twins for three or four days, paying my own way to get there, paying for my hotel, and 4 or 5 grand in the hole, step out on stage and speak, and nobody buys. I had to call my wife that night and be like, “Hey hun, guess what?” She’s like, “How’d you do?” I’m like, “I did alright.” She’s like, “How many people bought?” I’m like, “None.” She’s like, “None?” “Yeah.” She’s like, “But how much did it cost you to get out there?” “Uh, about 3 or 4 grand in.” She’s like, “Well, why did you do that.” Because I have to learn the skill. It’s hard, it’s embarrassing, it’s frustrating. Leaving my wife and our kids and not having the money, not making a penny from the trip, losing 5 grand to go and practice onstage, standing in front of a group of 100 people, 200 people and embarrassing yourself, not having a single person move when you walk to the back of the stage, that sucks. But guess what, I did it week in and week out, week in and week out, and I would go and sit through the event for three days and watch every other presenter present, and I would take notes. What did they do? Why’d they do that? How’d they do that? How did they get people to walk to the back of the room? How’d they structure their presentation? What worked, what didn’t work? Over and over and over and over again. And now 15 years later it’s easy. But you gotta put in the work first, you gotta put in the time first. And this isn’t, and I wish I could have somebody just do my whole webinar for me, but guess what, nobody cared about it like I did. Nobody cared about my little ideas except for me. I knew they were big, I knew they were going to change the world, but I had to go out there and learn the skill. So for you, and again, this is for that one person, but this is for everybody who is listening. You need to take this personal responsibility on yourself. This is your product, this is your service, this is your business, nobody else cares about it except for you. Therefore you’re the one that needs to make it successful. Therefore if you write a crappy webinar, you don’t just stop. That’s the beginning point, we all write a crappy webinar to start. Then you go and you do it, and then you do it again, and you do it again. And it’s going to suck at first, because at first you’re going to make zero dollars. You’re probably going to spend money to get ads to show up. You’re going to be bribing people, you’re going to be spending 40 hours on Facebook in every group related to you, trying to recruit people to come to your webinar. And you’re going to get 100 people to sign up and one of them will show up and it’s going to suck, and it’s going to be embarrassing, you’re going to cry your eyes out, but that’s the path. If it was super easy guess what, everyone here would be doing a webinar every single time. It’s not so you gotta care more. And you can’t expect anyone else to care. You can’t put the blame on anyone else. Extreme ownership, it’s you. You are the only person, youl’re the one who’s stepping out into the arena and you’ve got to figure this thing out. So that’s the goal. And if you’re too shy, or you’re introverted, I get it. So am I. I hate talking to people. But if you really care about this business and your mission and stuff, then you’ve got to go out of your way to go out there and ask the questions, jump on the coaching calls, go into the facebook groups, talk to people, trade them. Say, “I’ll work for free for you if you review my webinar.” “I’ll do this for you.” Whatever it takes. It’s going to be uncomfortable and it’s going to be painful, and it’s going to suck at first, I get it. But if you really want this thing to happen, that’s the path. And if you don’t, that’s cool. Go back and do whatever you did before, I don’t care. But if this is the path, I just want to paint a really clear picture, this is not all sunshine and roses. It’s hard, it’s hard work. But nobody ever said changing the world is going to be easy. So if you really do believe in your product or your service, and you really do want to change the world for the people you’ve been called to serve, then this is the path, and you’ve got to do it over and over and over again. Alright with that said, I’m going to stop talking here for a second and have my brother go and find the podcast episode that I did, it might have been 3 or 4 years ago now, but basically it was like, if I remember right, it was December or the beginning of the year, I was coming home and I mapped it out. I said, this is the business model for the next 12 months. If you do this for the next 12 months you will be financially independent. And that, that calling, that statement, that phrase is still true today. So I’m going to post it here, the same thing I talked about in the Expert Secrets book, just because I haven’t been ringing that bell as much, doesn’t mean it’s not true. It’s still the path, still the process, still exactly what I would do if I was starting over again today, live. So I’m going to have him insert that right now and then I’ll be back here in a few seconds. Hey everyone, I hope things are going amazing for you. Heading home from the office today, and just keep getting more and more excited about how simple and stupid my plan is for next year. The angle's always world domination, and the strategy's changed so many times, but look at the people in our coaching group that have made the most amount of money, the things that have made me the most amount of money. It's all had to do with one core focus. It comes down to this. If you’re taking notes, write it down right now. If you're in a car, pull over so you can focus a 100% because this is the key. Okay, and I talked about his on my periscope, the one that I told you guys about yesterday that we did 150k sales on it. The key is having a live event every Thursday, and the one singular goal of your entire company is to get at least a thousand people a week onto that webinar. That's it. It's kind of like the whole 'apple a day keeps the doctor away'. A thousands registrants a week for your webinar keeps money flowing. We were doing the math on that. Let's just say, and I don’t have the numbers in front of me cause I'm driving, as you guys know, but say you have a thousand people a week to register. This is all sources, so Facebook, solo ads, email ads, Twitter, social media. Everything you're doing is all pushing towards this one event that's happening ever single week. You're just focusing on that. Okay, and so you're doing that. You have a thousand people to register. From that, you get thirty percent show up rate, right? That drops to three hundred who show up, and then your call to action ... Let's say you follow the perfect webinar script, if you don't follow it, you get like 1% closure. You follow the perfect webinar script, you're at 10% close rate. That means of the 330 people give you a thousand dollars from that webinar, so you just made 30,000 dollars. The math on that, let's say you should be averaging between 3 and 5 dollars per webinar registrant. Let's just say we spent 5 dollars per registrant, and we've got thousands. You pay 5 grand, and you make 30, okay. Now, what is that? If I was talking to my kids right now I'd say, "Son, you call that arbitrage, okay." I put in 5,000 dollars on Monday through Thursday. Thursday night, I get 30,000 dollars back, boom. I didn't just get that because a couple other things are going to happen. Second off, from Thursday night to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we're going to be focusing on our replay sequence, okay. Now, there are a lot of different things you can do in a replay sequence. You can just send out the replay. You can send out urgency and scarcity we talked about a couple days ago. You can do a whole bunch of cool things, but if you do it right, you should be able to double your sales from the replay sequence, okay. Because think about it, you had 1,000 register, only 300 showed up. Only 10 percent of those people bought. You only had thirty people out of a thousand. That means you have a whole crap ton of other people haven't bought yet, and so you're job is to follow up with those people and get them to buy. Give them some urgency, some scarcity, do some cool things, maybe do a periscope, rant close Saturday night trying to get them to buy, whatever it is. You're pushing these people to take action and to give you money and to close. If you do it right, you should double your sales. That means that 30,000 now turned into 60,000. You have 5,000 dollars in, 60,000 dollars back out. You have more than 10X your money that week, which is pretty good, right? You're like sweet this is a good business. I put 5 grand in on Monday, I get 60,000 back out by Sunday at midnight. You do that every single week. Let's say that was all you did. I don't have a calculator here, and I'm not smart enough to do the math while I'm driving, but if you do that, 60 grand times 52 weeks, what's that end up being? Whatever, 3 million bucks or something, right? Your cost, 5 grand times 52 weeks, you're at 250 grand. You put in a quarter of a million bucks, you made 3 million, or whatever that is. That's a great business. That's more than most people will do ever. That's really, really exciting right there. That's the first step in this. The second thing to think about is every single week, you're adding a thousand people to your list. Okay, so by the end of the year, you have 52,000 people on your email list. These aren't normal people. People who have gone through your webinar registration funnel, seen your indoctrination series, they've been on your webinar, they've been indoctrinated, they've learned from you, they've seen you pitch. Those people will love and respect you a lot more because of that process that you went through with them. Now you've got a better quality person. If you screw this up, if you don't treat your list very well, you should be averaging at least a dollar per name, per month on your email list which means by the end of a year, you should be averaging an additional 52,000 in sales just from other exterior, I know there's a different word for that, but other things you sell that list. If you do it correctly, and you follow the whole DotComSecrets modeling, you do a value ladder, and you have upsales, and you have high ticket things, and you have other webinars and things like that, you should make a lot more than that. You should make five, or six million bucks off of that list to be a hundred percent honest. All that came from one solitary focus. One thing, the apple a day, it came from every Thursday we do a webinar, Monday through Thursday we fill that webinar, Friday through Sunday we close deals. And that is the fuel. That's the business. I just today, right before I left the office, I went on Thursdays, for me I do mine at noon, from noon until 2 o'clock, I put on recurring, and said every Thursday from now until the end of time I'm doing a webinar. Some people say, "Well do I do a new webinar every single week?" No, it's the exact same webinar. “Well Russell, shouldn't I do it automated?” No, you shouldn't, maybe someday, but right now you're going to do it live. I've done my Funnel Hacks webinar at least thirty, maybe forty times live, and I'm going to do it live every Thursday next year that I am in the office. I will automate it the days I'm not there, but I'm going to do it live. A couple reasons why. Why would you do it live? It's the same pitch Russell, it's probably word for word, and it is at this point. This is the reason why: On Thursdays when I’m doing a live webinar, guess what happens? Everyone is focused on this live webinar. Support staff’s ready, we've got people answering chat, tech guys are watching everything making sure that everything's working. We've got everyone’s focus and attention on this one event that's happening. Guess what happens when you focus on something? It's really weird. Whatever you focus on will grow. If you focus on how many leads a day you get, that will grow. If you focus how many webinar registrations you get each week, that'll grow. If you focus how much money you want, it'll grow. If you focus how much weight you want to lose, it'll grow, or you'll lose. Whatever it is on that side. There's this weird thing that whatever we focus on grows, so hey, let's focus on that, and it'll grow, and get better. We focus, everyone focuses. Thursday, this is sales day. This is the day we all focus on selling, okay. Monday through Thursday is marketing, Thursday is sales, and the rest of it is follow up. If you do that, you guys, that's the prescription for an amazing business next year. I was talking to Liz Benny, and I told her, I said, “Liz, I've seen you when you were running the webinar model consistently, you have the right numbers. Everything was working”. I told her, I was like, “I think that you can do 5 or 6 or 7 million dollars”, I have a hundred percent faith she can do it. I know she can, and she knows she can, and she's going to. Guess what she's doing? She's coming back to the same model, going back to basics, all of us. I'm doing it, my entire Inner Circle's doing it, I'm going to be sending this podcast to everyone and forcing them to listen to it because this is the basics. Again, if my son was trying it, I'd say “Son, that is the basics”. That's what we're focusing on, and if we all do that collectively, we'll change the world in our own little ways. That's what I'm doing, I hope you guys follow suit. I'm excited, and I hope you're excited, and it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to warn you, there's going to be some ups and downs. Sometimes Facebook's going to kick you off. Sometimes other ad networks won't work anymore. Sometimes you get crap leads. Sometimes your JV partners will screw you over. Sometimes no one will show up to your webinar. Sometimes the close rate won't work. Sometimes GoToWebinar will drop you, or webinar jam, or things are going to happen, and it's going to be frustrating and annoying and lame and hard, and you're going to be discouraged. Every time you get discouraged, I want you to think about the apple a day, and think about, I've got to come back. This is the focus, and every single week I'm going to get better, I'm going to get better, I'm going to get better. Maybe the first week I'm going to get ten people to register. Next week I get thirty. Next week I get fifty, and if I make that my focus, whatever we focus on, what happens? It grows. We're going to start focusing on that, and what's going to happen in the next 12 months is your business and your life will be transformed. It can't not be, and the lives of the people you're serving will be transformed. You say, Russell, this is cool, but I can't afford to buy Facebook ads right now. I don't care if you can't buy Facebook ads, go spam Facebook, okay. There's a lot of ways to get traffic for free. Go out there and do it. Write blog posts, promote them, go talk to people, do joint ventures. There's other ways to do it, and if your excuse is that I can't do it because my Facebook account got shut down. I can't do it because I don't know any JV partners. I can't do it because, fill in whatever excuse you want, that's all those things are excuses. There's a lot of people with a lot of good excuses out there, but the ones who don't have excuses, and just think, how can I figure this out? They focus on it. It's weird. What happens when you focus again? You get things done. It starts to grow. Start focusing on, what else can I do? I'm broke, I can't buy Facebook ads, what else can I do? I just saw my man Ryan from Hardcore Closer just been watching. He joined Inner Circle a while ago. I've been watching him. Just been crazy impressed with him, all the stuff he's doing, and just grateful he joined because I have a chance to see this glimpse of what he's doing and it's just been amazing. I'm watching him do these blog posts, and he's getting hundreds of thousands of millions people reading these blog posts, and it's just ... He focuses on that and it grows. I saw him post the other day how his goal of the first of the year is to get 100 thousand visitors a month, and I think now he's getting 100 thousand visitors a week, or something crazy like that. It's what you focus on grows, and he's doing that through free traffic, and he started making money, and then he started spending his money on Facebook to boost those posts, and that's the model. That's how it all works. Anyway, I hope that all makes perfect sense to you. I hope that gets you excited. I hope that it inspires you because that's the model, my friends. That's what we're focusing on here. That's how we're going to take our company from 8 figures to 9 figures and beyond. That's how you should be taking it from 6 to 7, from 7 to 8, from 5 to 6, from 0 to 5. It's the model. It's what works. It's what's working today, and there's nothing else you should be focusing on, I don't think. There you go. You've got it on a silver platter now, on a napkin, you have it in front of you. You just gotta pick it up and run with it, and if you do then I only want you to send me 10 percent of what you make. I'm just joking. All I want you to do is serve other people. Help other people, get your message out there, and hopefully you'll tell people about Click Funnels along the way because we love it, and it keeps getting better every single day. Thanks everybody. Okay everybody, so there you go. There’s the path, now you know. No more excuses. Once again, extreme ownership, this is all on you. This is all on your shoulders. Its not me, it’s not your spouse, it’s not your family, not your kids, not the market, it’s all on you. And as soon as you take personal responsibility, 100% personal responsibility, and you really buy into your own mission enough that you’re willing to do the uncomfortable things, you’re willing to lose money, you’re willing to go through the pain of jumping on the calls and talking to people and being outside your introverted self. As soon as you’re willing to do that enough, that’s when you’ll start having success. So on the softer side of the rant, I just want to say that first off, I believe in your guys. I wouldn’t keep doing this if I didn’t believe in you. I know it’s possible, I’ve seen it happen for me and for my family and for the business because I was willing to go through those painful things. So I believe in you. I know you can do it. Number two, if you’re in this, if you’re listening to me and you’re obsessed with this stuff, and you’re trying to figure it out, I believe that’s not just because of randomness. I believe that you’ve been called, and there’s people that you’ve been called to serve and it’s important. And that’s why you have this thing that keeps drawing you back, keeps pulling you back. So listen to that, that should be a guiding light that pushes you as you’re going through these growing pains. The pain of the struggle, the pain of growth because it does matter. It’s not just you you’re doing this for. I know we’re in business to make money for ourselves but that’s not why you do it. You do it because there’s people out there you’ve been called to serve, and you’ve been called to change their life. So I honor you for that. If there wasn’t you wouldn’t be listening to this, you would be paying any attention to it. So it’s worth it to learn the skill sets and to do the things you need to do to be successful. So anyway, the other resources you need, if you need more help, number one, read Extreme Ownership, I think that will help you a ton, for everybody. Number two, if you want to do webinars and really master it, if you go to FunnelFlix.com, the course is free inside of FunnelFlix, it’s my 10x Secrets course. Inside there I go and breakdown slide by slide by slide, and give you my slide. And I have like 15 webinars that I’ve done. So for all sorts of different products, you can go and watch and see me do the pitch over and over and over and over again. Stephen Larsen told me when he first tried to do his first webinar, he went and took every webinar of mine he could find, he ripped the audio, put them on an audio track and just listened to them over and over and over again, just to understand what I said, how I said it, why I said it, my language patterns and my tonality and all those things. He started modeling it, and modeling it, and modeling it, and Stephen had his first million dollar day like 2 months ago, a month and a half ago, from selling onstage and following the process. So it’s there. In fact, I even ripped the audios and put them in audiobook format for you, so you can listen to it in your car. But all that stuff is there, it’s free inside of FunnelFlix. As long as you’re, if you go to funnelflix.com and you upgrade to the platinum level of Clickfunnels you get FunnelFlix for free. And then go into the 10x secrets training course. It’s all there. Everything I’ve got, all my best trainings, all there for free for you, if go to master of webinar. I’ve tried to give you guys every tool, everything you need because again, I can’t do your business for you. I’m not a savior, I’m a leader and I’m trying to lead you. But the only thing I can do by leading is giving you, because I’m trailblazing and figuring crap out, is to turn around and give it to you as fast as I get it. So if you want to master webinars, that’s everything I got. That’s 15 years of me trailblazing for you and giving you like, here’s the script, here’s literally the powerpoints or the keynote’s slides, whatever one you want to use. Here’s 15 different times of me doing it, selling all sorts of different products and services. Here’s me, I show videos there of me doing it, I think I have 4 or 5 different people at one of our FHAT events come onstage and I would (FHAT stands for Funnel Hackathon), but people would come onstage and I would with zero notice be like, “What’s your product, what’s your service?” I’d ask them a couple of questions, I’d fill out the pitch and then I’d stand onstage and do the webinar live for them. All that stuff’s in there, it’s all there, just go to FunnelFlix.com and login, go to the 10x Secrets training course and everything’s there, there’s nothing that I hid back, it’s all in there for you. So if you want to master webinars, go and master webinars. You gotta do it over and over and over and over again. So that’s all I got you guys, it’s been a long one. I appreciate you all, thanks for listening. I believe in you, I believe in your dreams, I believe in the people that you are supposed to change. I believe that their lives are waiting for you to become who you need to become to be able to change their lives. So this is the calling for you, take personal responsibility, step up, become who you need to be to change their lives, and as you do that, everything else will take care of itself. You’ll make enough money, all these other things will fall into line, as long as you shift the focus from you to them. But it’s all on you, personal responsibility. Alright with that said, appreciate you all, thanks for everything and we’ll talk to you guys all again soon, bye everybody.
What's going on everybody. This is Coulton Woods and welcome to another episode of Learning From The Experts. And today I actually want to talk to you about a challenge that has been changing a lot of people's lives. I've been watching this very closely and I'm like, I have to publish about that. More people need to know about this challenge that is happening right now. It is changing so many people's lives on making money for the first time on the internet or even making more money with what they already have. Their websites or their sales funnels that they're using online to make even more money with it. So I want to tell you about this challenge today. So here's the deal. I know how frustrating it is as an entrepreneur to waste countless hours sifting through, wanna-be experts who've never actually helped me in the end. Then to learn years later that there was an expert who really could help me a hundred times faster than learning it on my own. I have created this podcast to save you time and money while taking you on a journey with me as I learn from and interview, real experts who can actually help you grow your business. My name is Coulton Woods and you're listening to learning from the experts. Awesome. So before I tell you about the challenge, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever seen the movie, the karate kid? It's like a 1980s movie old school movie. I saw it when I was a kid. A lot. It was awesome. I wonder if you've ever seen it or even heard about it. That's ok if you haven't seen it. You've probably heard about it though. Most people have heard about Mr Miyagi, the wax on wax off guy. But the reason I ask you that is I want to ask you, how much do you think it would cost to get a Mr Miyagi, that would train you on how to make money online for the first time? Like a Mr Miyagi that knows exactly the system, the frameworks, the different things that you need to do, like wax on, wax off, follow me here, follow me there, um, and do this and do that. And you will have the frameworks and the systems that will help you make money online for the first time. Or if you are already making money online, how to better that system, better those things so you can make even more money online. That'd be pretty awesome to have a Mr Miyagi guiding you through the whole process. Um, and the reason I ask that that is because there's this challenge that has been happening like I mentioned earlier where it's practically a Mr Miyagi guiding you through the entire thing. In fact, it's like three Mr Miyagi's guiding you through the entire thing. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds kind of expensive. Especially getting that kind of attention from an expert, probably pretty expensive. That was my same thought, but listen to this, I'm going to actually, okay, so it's called the one funnel away challenge and it's from clickfunnels. You can go to onefunnelawayoffer.com and check it out. But I want to tell you about the whole offer, the whole thing that you get with this challenge before you come up with a price and everything in your head. So what you get on this challenge. They send you a box and in the box you get a physical copy of the challenge workbook. So it's a 30 day challenge. So you get a workbook that walks you through the 30 days, you get an MP3 player with all of the recordings from the first one that they did, which is like over a hundred hours of recordings. I don't know. It's crazy. And then you get the 30 days hardcover book. Now let me tell you about that book. So Steven Larsen actually wrote a chapter of that book, so did 30 other amazing people, they wrote a chapter in this book. So it's a huge book of 30 different people and they wrote about how they would get started online again or how they would get their money back if they lost everything. They're following, their name, like everything out there and they just had to start over from scratch with the knowledge that they have and a click funnels account and what would you do in 30 days to start making money online again, just having a click funnels account and the knowledge that you have, no following, none of that, no email list, nothing. It's incredible. It's like gold in there. Just if you're looking at finding some tips and tricks of how to really kill it online. This book has got 30 different people's versions of that, like of those tips and tricks that you can check out. And I'm talking some big people too. I mean, even like John Lee Dumas is in there, Peng Joon Peng Joon, Myron Golden, Liz Benny, Dan Henry, Dana Derricks, Akbar Sheikh, there's so many people in there. I think Brandon and Kaelin Poulin are in there too. I'm not 100% sure on that one but yeah, it's huge. It's just crazy. So you get that and then you also get unlimited access to the 30 days interviews. So they interviewed each person that wrote a chapter in this book and you get access to those interviews. Then you also get behind the scenes two comma club interviews, which is crazy value. And then not only that, you get 30 days of video missions from Russell Brunson. So it's a 30 day coaching or 30 day challenge. You get a video each day from Russell walking you through what you need to do that day, like wax on, wax off, what you'd need to do that day. And then you get 30 days of coaching from Steven Larsen and Julie's Stoian in which I think most of those days, they go live, so you can hop on live with them. And then you also get the one funnel away challenge customized kit. So that's like the 30 day plan. It's crazy. If you think through everything that they've given you, everything that they're doing for you, not only what they're giving you, but what they're going to do for you. It's just crazy Insane value. When I first saw that, I was like, okay, this has gotta be thousands of dollars because it's going to help you make thousands of dollars. So that would make sense if it's going to cost thousands of dollars. Right? Well, they added up the value of about $3,126. That sounds about right, but not only that, they took it from the $3,126 down to just $100 bucks. So you can actually join the whole freaking challenge for just a hundred bucks. It's crazy stuff. When I heard $100, I was like, you gotta be kidding me. There's no way. There's no way that they're actually going to give you all of that for 100 bucks. And sure enough, they do. It's freaking crazy. Stephen Larsen goes live like every day and trains you through everything. It's just the amount of gold that you get from this is well worth like thousands and thousands of dollars, but they give it to you for a hundred bucks. I don't even know how they're making any money on it. Anyway, so I just wanted to like, if you guys are struggling to make any kind of money online, if you guys are making some money online or looking to make just even you're first dollar or if you're making, you know, thousands, but you want to up it and see the frameworks that people are using to make even more money than that. You've got to take this challenge. You've got to go through it. It's changed so many people's lives. Just the amount of stories that I see from people where they're like, hey, I made my first thousand dollars this week and it's like week two of the challenge, you know? And then, hey I used this one system and I blew up this part of my business. It's amazing to me to see how many people's lives have changed. And because of that I thought, I have to share that with people. I mean if you go to onefunnelawayoffer.com and check it out, you'll also be able to see all the testimonials and kind of get an idea of what people are saying about it. This guy says "this is the stuff that no one ever taught me." Cause it was like the beginning stuff that no one ever taught, like teaches anyone. Somebody else was like all this "stuff is magic". This person said, "thank you so much guys for providing so much value", which is true. I can't even believe how much value Steven alone gives you and Russell... Like the 30 days of Russell's training that people paid thousands of dollars for the information that he's giving, just on this $100 challenge. And so the guy says "it's a smile of a conqueror and the coaching throughout the Ofa challenge has been the icing on the cake". That's pretty cool actually. And then there's like a hundred testimonials down below, it's crazy how much it is changing people's lives. I went through it guys. It is well worth thousands of dollars. If you're looking at changing your business online or making money for the first time online and you need a Mr Miyagi to help you, like wax on, wax off, do this, do that and follow some frameworks that are proven frameworks to make money online. This is the challenge that you've got to go to and you can check it out at onefunnelawayoffer.com and go from there. And if you guys have any questions about it or anything, feel free to reach out to me. I'm not afraid to give you any more details on it. It's pretty sweet. But if you just, yeah, if you just go to onefunnelawayoffer.com you can see the whole thing right there. And that's all spelled out. So that's just one funnel away offer spelled out .com. So yeah, not spelled out.com but you know what I mean. That's all I got for you today. Are you looking to jumpstart your business by learning or getting help from the real experts?

I realized I was in a learning loop creating a perceived motion toward finishing my webinar but not actually doing the things that will finish it. So I wrote it down and then wrote down an exact plan of action to complete real tasks that create real progress. And then, I absolutely dominated the day! I hacked 4 webinars: Liz Benny, Steve Larsen, Lady Boss and Russell Brunson. I studied each step of the webinar as these super successful people laid out their programs and offers. 6 hours of listening and watching every detail of how everything was presented and took detailed notes of what exactly that would sound like and look like in my presentation, with my course and offer. I was able to create a layout with a ton of content in my own webinar, assembled a bunch of pictures from our years of travel to put in my webinar and got all the slides together with the basic layout. Yeah baby!! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!! I also recorded 8 videos to plug into my course and add more value! I still have a whole bunch of videos to make but I have a detailed plan of what that looks like and will knock them out over the next couple days. You will now be able to watch the training in my course, read it on downloadable PDFs or listen to it in MP4 format. No more excuses! I also created 2 new freebies and hung all that cool stuff on the wall! Oh, and my website will be live tomorrow so you can find everything in one amazingly value packed place! www.aaronmjennings.com Whew! Awesome day! See you tomorrow! #MissionsToMillions #FreeingPeople

Hey Hey Hey Amazing Kapow Stars! In this Kapow Cast, the Amazing Liz Benny talks about “Depression” in the Entrepreneurial World. Entrepreneurs in the current World are afraid to address Depression and only talk about their Wins and Assets. Liz Benny shares how she overcame and conquered Depression. She beautifully explains how Depression can be driven away when confronted. Your Life is in your hands and how you want to ascend is totally up to you.
Liz lives and breathes the philosophy of ‘playing life full out'. And it's not about doing that in a way that other people say is right or proper; it's about being 100% authentic to herself. That's where Liz believes true happiness happens, and she wants that for everyone! It took Liz a while to find business success, although she earned a Masters with Distinction from her work in Positive Psychology. After this, ironically, Liz found herself stuck in a job that was draining her soul, so she made a decision and set out to create a better life for herself and family – a life she'd always dreamed of. She firmly believes that EVERYONE deserves happiness, and her passion is drawing that out of each and every person she works with. Show Highlights KAPOW! That is what Liz Benny is all about! Don't miss this amazing episode where we dive into her trials and tribulations (especially the most recent ones that had her living in some darkness), the understanding of what it really takes to be brave as an entrepreneur, and learn what the truth is about playing it bigger online while braving the journey! She doesn't hold back and her vulnerability is powerful!
Lessons from my 2-day deep dive (caffeine and dubstep abound)... What's going on everyone? It's Steve Larsen and you're listening to Sales Funnel Radio. I've spent the last four years learning from the most brilliant marketers today. And now I've left my nine to five to take the plunge and build my million dollar business. The real question is, how will I do it without VC funding or debt, completely from scratch? This podcast is here to give you the answer. Join me and follow along as I learn, apply, and share marketing strategies to grow my online business using only today's best internet sales funnels. My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Sales Funnel Radio. Hi guys, I'm excited to share this with you. These were ... These are the patterns that I noticed while I was kind of deconstructing some of the most profitable webinars, and especially their sequences. Okay? I was specifically looking at sequences. The funnel part I didn't look at as much, frankly because on some of these I helped build them, but it's the actual copy itself that I'm trying to go through and show some of these neat patterns that are inside of every one of them. Anyway, so I'm going to walk through some of these. I've got notes all around me right now. So if there's like a little pause, or little ums, or little ah, just stick with me, bear with me, because I'm going to walk through these. I just sent a lot of these lessons over to several people as well. Anyway ... Okay. So I'm going to walk through some of the scenarios here, okay? And what's funny is, man just going in and just adding one of these things in. Like it's going to increase my ... It'll increase my show up rate, it'll increase the amount of people who purchase. There's a lot of pros and benefits to what it'll actually do for actually sequencing itself. And what's funny is while going through and looking at these things, I almost started getting this feeling like, "Man I actually owe it to my prospective customer to do this stuff. To actually make these changes. It actually will increase the experience. ...They'll actually have a better experience during the buying process." I actually feel like it'll serve them more. And so this is like ... These aren't like little tricks like, "Oh these are cool tricks to like do that very thing. Trick them." Okay. I actually think that the level of clarity that this added was very fascinating as well. Anyway, so I'm going to go through some of these lists as well here, and specifically there's like ... Let's see. One, two, three. There's ten. Actually ten things that I want to walk you guys through and show you how to vastly, I believe, especially from watching the way each of these webinars are pulling off, increase your cart value, but like I was saying before, I think like followup sales. Right. Dropping refund rates. Does that make sense? And all the things that come with it. Anyway, so I'm excited for this. Here's the first thing though. So number one here, these are the interesting webinar followup lessons from my hacking expose. Okay. Anyways, number one here, what I ... Some of these might be like, "Oh kind of cool," and some of them are just like massive super huge bombs. Anyway, so the first one here is on these webinars. The confirmation email ... And almost every one of these scenarios, and every one of these normal webinars, the confirmation email itself has an origin story in it. Now think about this, okay? Does everybody buy the same way? No. People do not all purchase in the same manner, right? I am not going to sit and read sales copy. I want a video. Right? I do not sit and read a blog. I want to listen to a podcast. Okay. I do not consume content. All right, but there are other people that exact opposite. And as one of the biggest lessons I think I can give to you, especially one of the themes you'll see throughout as I kind of draw up these lessons, you're actually giving the webinar script in several manners, not just on the webinar. Okay. There's a group of people that want to see it on the webinar. There's a group of people that do not. And so you actually threw the scenario. You're actually going hit several different modalities to deliver the sales message, to deliver the offer and the stack. To actually give the scarcity and urgency to close. To give the time close for them to actually act. To give the bonuses away. It's actually hitting them in several different manners which is really interesting. It's really three heavy ones. But anyways, think about this right? The first email they're going to be seeing is let's say they're not actually going to go and watch the webinar. But most of them are still going to go check out the confirmation email, right? Or a good portion of them are going to. That's still an opportunity for you to sell them the origin story. Why you got into this thing, an opportunity for them to fall in love with you, an opportunity for them to actually fall in love as to why they should listen to the rest of the offer. So just think of that. Okay. So first spot, one of these major touchpoints. Again, when we're talking about the last podcast episode, right? About the hook, story, offer. You're still doing the hook through the email. You're still doing the story. Your actual origin story is the first, very first thing that's coming over to them regardless of if it's a webinar, regardless of whatever you're selling, you still have an opportunity to ... Right. It's one of the major things too. I remember I was hacking ... I was funnel hacking ... This was again one of the first really profitable funnels I ever built. Again probably like three, four years ago. I was hacking this guy, and I noticed that he was doing this very thing. He had a soap opera series and the first email after you opted in was the first email of the soap opera series. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go read DotCom Secrets. And he was following that format. But along with the first email came a second email of just his origin story. And he was like, "Hey, just wanted a chance to introduce myself and blah." He went right into the origin story. So I started doing that as well. And it was really cool because I got a lot more feedback from people replying to that email saying, "Man I'm totally in this for the exact same reason Steven. Oh my gosh, that's super cool. Thanks for sharing that. I'm actually ... Sounds like you're telling my story." I got more feedback from me telling my origin story, than I did from that first email with the soap opera series which is fascinating. Anyways, that's kind of cool. So to reinforce the point. Okay, so number one, write ... You're hitting from these different areas. Here's another one. On webinars that lead to application funnels, the confirmation email has a case studies origin story. Okay this is a pretty powerful thing to notice and recognize. When you think about these, if you're trying to sell something that's high ticket, the way that you present these stories ... Right. Let's think about some coaching. If you're trying to sell coaching or a high ticket mastermind, or a high ticket event or experience, something like that, a lot of times the ... Like when you think about the way Russell sells his inner circle, or when you think about the way really expensive people sell their stuff, there's really two modalities. The first one I absolutely hate which is when ... In fact I was ... I can't say his name. You guys would all know him. He's on a very famous TV show that I'm sure many of you guys consume. I got offered to go help build an application, high ticket application funnel for him, and I said no actually for a lot of reasons. Which kind of made me sad. I wanted to go do it, but just scheduling wise, just logistically too many things going on. Anyways, it was fascinating because I looked at the current application funnel they had and it was this guy, who's a celebrity, and he ... You could tell he was being told what to say which is fine. And the first video though was him saying like, "I'm so and so, and I've done this and this and been on these TV shows, and you've seen all this, and you've done this, and you know that I can get you," and I, I, I, I, me, me, me. It has total me syndrome. Okay? It's the me monster. Okay. Me monster was all over it... And I was like, "Gosh that's ..." It's very hard to sell super high ticket stuff like that. Right? Really high ticket funnels are very very client result based stories that you're using as your sales letter. The Liz Benny story. Right? The Drew Cannoli story. Right? Those are the stories. Do you ever really ... You hardly ever see Russell ever on any of the application funnels that are out there. That's not what's selling it. Results are selling it. The fact that he's been successful with other people is what's selling it. And it's the same thing when you're selling a webinar funnel into a high ticket application funnel. So I was looking at CF Certified right, and that's a webinar that pushes into an application funnel. And so the actual ... Right, when it's just a webinar funnel for usually like a $1000 to $20000 product, it's the protagonist origin story. It's the entrepreneur's origin story... But when it's moving ... This is one of the things I recognize. When it's moving into an application funnel though, it's one of your most successful case studies, it's their origin story. So there's a split that happens right? There's a very stark, very powerful difference as I was looking at this. Anyway, the indoctrination series, when you think through life you're like, I've had a lot of people reach out and ask like, "Steve you're talking about indoctrination series, what is that? Is that a soap series?" No. It is specifically for a webinar. It is specifically for ... Think of it as like a ... I make indoctrination series on one of my podcast funnels, and it's actually my other podcast show. I have a really strong podcast funnel there. And it gets like 62% opt in rate, and just it kicks butt. It's really really awesome. But they get a series from me, I sell it as a course. I'm like, it's free and it's just for the listening. Does that make sense?... So it's a free course, but really it's an indoctrination series. Anyway, if you study and you look carefully specifically at like the Followup Funnel webinar, the Funnel Hacks webinar, even Software Secrets, the Software Secrets webinar, all of the indoctrination series are actually a product launch funnel. What? What? I'm like recreating so much stuff because of that. Think about this. Right, some people do not like buying on the webinar. Some people do not like buying from blogs. Some people do not like buying from product launch funnel. But you can deliver the same message and offer in each one of those modalities. And so that's one of the things I'm doing is I'm looking at my followup sequence. It's not longer just a webinar that's delivering my offer, and the story, and the sales message pieces. Okay. It's actually ... I have it coming across as text which I'm going to show you in just a second. I have it coming across now ... There's actual hidden product launch funnel inside of my followup sequence. It's a product launch funnel. This is what I'm building out next which is so exciting. So I have a ... The product launch funnel as well matches and follows up with my close cart sequence. So at the end of video number four, like if you think of Jeff Walker's product style funnels, video number four is where a lot of the call to actions dropping in right? But it coincides with my close cart timeline. So in the email I'm saying, "Hey the cart's closing. If you want, go ahead and check it out here." They're actually watching video number four though, which is the stack portion. It's me reselling a whole ... Anyway. Super cool. Super super cool. Hope there's massive aha's with that. Delivering in these multiple ways... So anyways, it is a product launch funnel the indoctrination series. And I don't know that I've ever heard many people really teach that which is kind of cool. Like if you think through and you're looking at these replay sequences which is ... I'll tell you guys. Most of my money comes in my replay sequence. Right? I still make sales on the webinar, but I don't know why. Like there's something in my webinar followup sequence that works really really really well. I've not totally identified what that is yet, but most of my money comes in the replay sequence. If I can turn the sexy up though on that sequence, right, which includes the urgency and scarcity aspect, and I'm putting them through a product launch version of the same webinar, people are going to go check this ... Most people watch ... Most people can't actually join me on the live webinar. They watch the replay sequence. Everyone's timeline is different. They just login, they sign up so that they know they'll be on the sequence, they can watch it later. Well, heck. If you can't watch the full hour, hour and a half webinar, might as well drop it out to you in 20, 30 minute little episodes. And across the top bar on each page, they can progress forward just by clicking if they want to, or it'll drip out to them anyway and match my close cart sequence. Anyway, this is like a far more technical episode and I know that. Just stick with me. These are like ... Man, these simple little elements guys are going to change the way I do the game a lot. Anyway, let's see. Post webinar, all emails focused on how to get the offer for free. Yeah. Yep. Anyway, I'm reading what I wrote just so I would remember what to say. Anyway the post ... Yeah. That was right. All post webinar, pretty much all email focuses on how to get it for free, and if I'm at the part where it's not like the blatant call to action, there's still some piece in every email where they can either number one, go watch the replay, or number two pushes them over to buy. But it's reinforcing the fact that they can go get it for free. Think of it like this, right? There's some aspect in your stack slide, in your offer, that's the thing that everyone actually wants. It's not that they don't want the bonuses, it's not that they don't want the other pieces inside what you're actually offering, but there's one thing that you're giving away that's the thing that they actually want. Let's say I went in and I was on Amazon, and I was creating an offer on Amazon. Actually here's a better example, right? Okay. Okay. So I've been working out a lot more. I'm super excited. Trying to like ... One of the inner circle member, it's Brian Bowman, what's up buddy? Big shout out to you. You're the man. He was pointing out to me, he's like, "Dude you do literally nothing but funnel stuff." And I said, "Yeah, I know. Isn't cool." And he's like, "No like, yes that's a good thing, but like you're in a phase now where you should maybe ... You could do something else also. Enjoy other parts of life." I was like, "I'm doing what I love brother." He's like, "Come on dude." Anyway, so I've been trying to do other stuff as well which is kind of hard. It's funny. I like suck at like this life thing. I'm better at just living in funnels. Anyway I was like, "I got to go lift. I go to go exercise. Get more into that phase more," which has been fun. Not very sedentary anymore which is awesome. So I've been lifting a lot more and exercising, and one of the workout things I'm following, I'm on two different three month programs which I'm super pumped about and it's going well so far. Trying to get ready for that two comic club cruise. Okay? It's coming up in January you guys. So excited. But I don't want to be a tubby bubby on that baby... So anyway, super excited. I was looking and there was a jump rope. This guy was saying, "Hey, whenever you start, one of the cool things to go and do is just jump rope for five minutes, and you're going to burn a lot of calories just like that," which shockingly, oh my gosh, is true. Anyway. Way harder than I thought. Anyway, so I go on Amazon right? I go on Amazon and I start looking around for a jump rope. A speed rope. And these guys have nailed the offer creation piece on Amazon for ecom stuff, for these jump ropes. When I got the jump rope, it was so funny guys. Like anyway, part of me felt like a little bit of a pansy for buying a jump rope, and another part of me felt like Rocky. You know. Anyway, and there was ... So the main thing right? I wanted the speed rope. Right? But what came with it? It was so cool guys. They had made an offer in their ecom stuff. And the offer was, "Hey. You know what? Just because you probably don't know all the cool things ... You think you're literally just going to jump a little piece of rope for a while. A little cord. This little piece of plastic. But look at this. This is actually going to come with 12 workouts that you can do. By the way, here's a whole bunch of before and after pictures of people who've been doing it. By the way, did you know that this comes with the most awesome cool carrying case? It's also featured to have extra ends and parts and pieces." Like they made an offer out of it. It was really interesting, and they totally had ... And I was like, "Man I'm buying from you guys just because you did that." Anyway, it's fascinating right? So if you think through all the different pieces of your offer, there's one thing on there that I really wanted though. It's the reason that I got ... I want the jump rope. And so all of these followup communication after somebody goes through either a webinar, or a free plus shipping funnel, or I don't care. Whatever it is, all of it is focusing on how you can get the main thing you actually want for free. So one of the biggest tweaks I would have made to that offer is I would have said, "Hey, actually the jump rope is free." I would have priced it the same as everybody else, but the copy I would have changed it to would be, "Hey the jump rope is free when you get this other stuff, which happens to be the same price as all the competitors." But does that make sense? Now the copy made it an offer. Even more of an offer. You still get all these other things, but it makes the thing they actually want free. And so it's the exact same thing... Think about that with like funnel hacks. With Click Funnel's offer. Right? "Here's how to get Click Funnels for free for the next six months. You buy Funnel Hacks." Does that make sense? So think through the thing. I'm starting to call it the anchor of the offer. There's one anchor... I call it the anchor product, okay? And it's the thing that they actually want in your offer so bad, and when you tell them it's free when they buy those other things, oh man. Really cool way to turn up the sexy in your offer, and all of the followup sequences, all the emails, all the pieces of copy, post pitch, post webinar, reinforce the point of how to get that thing for free. Okay. And the fact that there's limited time actually to get it. Anyway. That was really really powerful. So I started looking through that. This is also a really cool commonality as well. I typically after my webinars, one of the things that I'll go do is I immediately dropout to them the opportunity to go and watch the replay. That almost is never the case in any of these webinars. Isn't it interesting? Almost none of the time is the replay email sent first. Like post webinar. It's over. Or it could be post ... You know they've gone through your free plus shipping book funnel, or ecom funnel, or high ticket funnel, or I don't care whatever it is. Right? Post call to action. Post offer. Post you actually going and trying to get them to purchase. Right? The first thing in here, the very first email, was actually another call to action email. It was an email that reinforced the stack. It actually redelivered the stack. Right? "Thanks so much for joining the web class. I appreciate it. For those of you guys who weren't actually able to get on here, here's what it is," and actually just went straight through the stack slide. First thing you're going to get is X, Y, and Z. In fact which ... There's one of the sequences here. ...Hold on let me look real quick here. I'll include the whiteboard screenshot in the blog just so you guys know. Actually I'll put it on Instagram. It'll be one of my posts. There's my hook right there. Go follow me on Instagram. Okay. At Steve Larsen HQ, and I'm going to make it one of the posts there. You can see the screenshot of the lessons that I learned from each sequence and then right next to it, I made like this ultimate followup sequence, and I mapped the different webinar emails to each ... Anyways. Super super cool. You can go check it out if you want to on my Instagram which I'm far far more into now which is awesome. But anyway, so post webinar it was let me followup ... Yeah yeah yeah. Follow funnels. Hold on, let me look at it. Okay, follow funnels. Okay very first ... I've got all the emails I printed out right here. Very first email that goes out post webinar, let me get to it. Okay here. Okay. Yeah. Check this out. Okay. Okay. So right after the very first email that goes out, right afterwards is this. Okay this is the followup funnel's webinar. Okay cool. Yeah. Check this out. I'm just going to read part of this to you, okay. Reinforcing a stack slide on the very first email post webinar. Okay. The second email is the one that actually pushes the replay. Okay. But there's another opportunity to purchase right from the get go which is so interesting because I've always just sent immediately a replay email. Anyway, I don't know if you guys are geeking out about this, and maybe I'm going too deep on this. Hopefully this episode's super valuable. For me, this is going to make ... I feel like the vehicle I've just designed here, because I not only am fixing all the stuff here. Like I rebuilt an entire funnel that just totally kicked butt. I feel like it's the difference between a $1 million webinar and a three million. And, so excited. Calling the shot on that one by the way. That'll be cool. All right so anyway it says, "So the web class just ended. I hope you had a chance to watch it live. If so you saw the power of followup funnels. You saw how we were able to literally make $16 for every dollar made on the front end funnels. You see how this is the way our company's growing. We talk a lot about the tip of the iceberg, some of you only saw the tip but I showed the rest of the iceberg today. And that copy is linked over ... Actually it's just underlined I think. Anyway. "Hopefully you love the presentation. I wanted to send you a quick email because people are blowing up our help desk. They saw the presentation and weren't sure if they should be all in. What does it mean to go all in? Being all in is something we talked about towards the end of the presentation." And here we go. He goes into what I'm calling a benefits stack. The benefits stack is one of the things that is included inside of that first email out. So there's an actual stack, but it's not always like, you know, "First you're going to get software secrets. Then you're going get this. Then you're going to get this. You're getting this." It's like a benefits stack. It's the benefits of actually getting. It's really really interesting. So I don't know what else to call it, so I'm calling it a benefits stack. And he goes into it. This is the copy part of the email where he goes into benefits of those getting it. And then he puts a call to action at the end. "It means you're using Click Funnels, backpacks, acitionetics, all the tools inside Click Funnels help dramatically scale your business. When you go all in we've got a huge gift for you. First off, I'm going to give you 15 followup funnels." So he's still going to go in, and he's selling each part of the stack, but he's diving a little more deeply into the benefits of it because it doesn't ... Like if you didn't see the webinar, right, who cares what the things are in the stack? There's no value behind it. So he's actually selling the whole ... Anyway, this is interesting... He goes, "First thing I'm going to give you 15 followup funnels. These are the exact followup funnels I use to one get people to actually show up for the webinar, two get people to purchase after the webinar, three get people to buy high ticket coaching, and much more. You get all these 15 funnels, total value is 9.97. Second," he's now on the second item in the stack, "We're going to give you a T-shirt that says, 'We're not confusion soft.' If you missed the presentation, you need to watch to get the inside joke, but this shirt is amazing. I'm going to send you it. Third, I'm going to give you," Right. He actually is writing out ... I've never seen this. This is crazy. "Third I'm going to give you, 'I build funnels,' laptop sticker. Fourth I'm going to give you the, 'All in' temporary tattoo." And then he goes in and he talks about the total value. Anyway, "These are all the insane bonuses you get. Click here to go all in." He actually literally pushes a stack and immediately back to the call to action is the first email. I have never ... I have always done that like the very dead last thing when my cart's about to close. Not first. So anyways, huge realization. And later on, right before this email's over, the same email, he goes, "If you didn't get a chance to watch the webinar, don't worry. I'll try to get you guys a replay tomorrow." Is that interesting? So he's baiting the hook for the next. Totally Seinfeld thing right there. Does that make sense? But he's pushing it. Anyway. I might have gone too deep on that. But that is like crazy cool stuff. That is so lucrative to know that. This is pretty interesting too. He did this in a lot of webinars. Not all of them. And several of the followup sequences, he actually has two different replay pages. Okay. The first replay he pushes out. So let's say it's the next day, he pushes a replay out. All right. It's kind of the normal, "Hey you can go check out the replay here. By the way this is only open for the next 36 hours," or whatever. And then a few hours later he'll be like the hook. Right? The hook of the email. The reason. The curiosity... The reason why he's emailing again is he says, "Look, a lot of you guys are emailing saying, 'I actually saw most of it Russell. I just don't want to actually watch all the things I've already seen before. I want to fast forward to the point where I left off.'" And he says, "I get it. I totally get it. So we did something special for you guys. Here's a replay with scroll bars." So he unlocks ... He just makes another page and he just, on the video element, he makes it so that they can fast forward. That's it. But it's another reason to email. It's another hook to go email and get it out into their hands. What? Crazy. So I now have two replay pages in my personal webinar, and one of them is ... I want another reason to email them. Another logical reason to email them after they've ... "Check it out. There's scroll bars in this." Okay. Anyway that's a big one. One of the things too is as part of the first replay email that goes out, he drops in ... You can see this specifically in Funnel Hacks if you go check this out. Actually I think there's few others as well. High Ticket Secrets have this. There's a few other webinars that had it. But this was brilliant. Oh this was brilliant. I was just saying how not everyone buys the same way... Okay. If you go to Funnel Hacks. You know, go opt into Funnel Hacks, buy it again if you want, but if you go opt in to Funnel Hacks, and just watch the replay sequence that's coming out, there's something very interesting that comes in. Let me grab it here real quick. Something very interesting that pops in in this sequence as well where he dives deeply into ... He actually gives ... He calls it, "Hey for those of you guys who didn't get a chance to, or you'd rather skip around, I'm going to toss in for you cliff notes to the webinar." Oh man. Funnel Hacks has an awesome product launch funnel in it. Let me find it here. Anyways, whatever. I'll just tell you guys what it is. What he did is he took all of his slides and printed them all out, and transcribed the webinar so that you could see the slide, and you could look at the slide and you could read the webinar. This is brilliant. Guys, he has somebody go through and they actually printed out all the slides, and transcribed everything that he said in the webinar underneath each one of the slides so that you can see the slide, and then read. See slide and then read it. See slide, read it. It's huge. Okay. I don't even know how many pages ... It's absolutely gigantic. Right. But when somebody goes through, somebody who's a reader, they want to read stuff, they want the little nitty gritty details. They want, right. Especially those who are like the engineer mindsets. They really like that kind of thing, right? They want to go through, and they want to read the webinar. And so he gives them the option to do so inside Funnel Hacks. And they go through and they read it. What happens when somebody spends like an eternity reading the webinar? They buy. You know what I mean?... Oh there it is. All right. This is a day three post webinar. "24 hour warning. Want the cliff notes? Okay in less than 24 hours they're pulling that Funnel Hacks web class and the special offer we made. We can get Click Funnels for free for the next six months," he's reinforcing the ability to get free for the anchor product of the offer, "Because you're almost out of time, I had one of my team members type up the cliff notes of the web class just in case you missed it to recap. So here's what you need to do now." Straight on to call to action. "First download the cliff notes. Second watch the replay here. Third get a huge Funnel Hacks discount, six months for free by clicking here." So number one, want to see the cliff notes. Number two, just watch the replay here. Or number three, you want to go buy. So towards the end it's more ... And that's the whole email. It's a super short email. But towards the end of the replay sequence, I've noticed that the emails actually get far shorter as well. Almost across the board. The email's towards the beginning of the replay sequence are much longer. They're telling the whole origin story. They're telling the secrets. They're telling the reasons you should get in there. And usually the copy, copy wise is actually getting smaller and shorter, and shorter, and shorter as the replay sequence goes. Anyway, I'm almost done here... Okay. There's something called ... I don't remember if I go this from Russell or ... Anyway, I've seen this from several people, but I'm calling it ... It's a hidden cart close. So they'll close the cart down, scarcity, urgency is the only reasons why anyone does anything. So it's important to close the cart I believe. So close the cart down, and legitimately take the bonuses away. They can still go get the main thing I'm sure on your main page, they can still go buy Click Funnels for example somewhere else. But the actual main thing they want, they can't get that for free. They can't get all the bonuses. There's some aspect of it that you take away for the scarcity aspect. But there's a hidden ... What was it? It was like 72 hours later ... Yeah. Something like that. There's a case study that people can go in and they can read. I think I saw Dan Henry do this too once. They can go in and read a case study of another successful person. The cart closed, they clearly did not purchase. And you don't really ... You're like, that's fine. Instead a little while later, you drop this amazing case study after the cart's closed, with a link to a limited secret replay that they could go watch it again just to scoop off the top. So the hidden cart close thing. Cart close, and then hidden cart close. That was kind of cool. One of the things that I'm doing is I'm going to put Facebook, the actual Facebook comments element. I'm going to put it below the broadcast page. Below the replay page. Below my indoctrination, which is going to be a product launch funnel page. And it's going to be the same link though, so any comment on any one of them is going to populate to all those pages. Massive social proof. Super excited about that. If somebody ... So on the actual order page, and on the broadcast page and replay, an exit pop that I'm dropping on, I'm going to drop in like the Facebook live chat element. So if they're leaving ... It's kind of like...and one of the reasons why he would make so much cash as well on his ... And if you don't know, like he made ... I can't say the exact number. He made tens of millions of dollars in only a few months. Like a couple months. Right. Made a lot of money, tons of revenue dropping in. And one of the reasons why is because he understood his buyer, and understood that everyone does not buy the same way. So some people wanted to buy on the website, but then ... Or on the funnel. But when they tried to leave the funnel, there was an exit pop that said, "Hey got a final question? Why don't you just call us?" Right? And there was a phone number. Well I'm going to do the exact same thing with a Facebook live chat. So when they're leaving, and I'll just change the copy to whatever it needs to be. If they're on the order page ... Like, I'm noticing for every four people who actually check out the order page after the webinar, about one purchases which is pretty standard. I mean that's pretty normal. What if I just doubled that? I mean, does that make sense? People are clearly going to the order page. They're checking it on out. They want to see it. So they got some last burning dying question. Well I'm going to go in, I'm going to drop in the ability for them to ask a question live. So on the order page, when they exit, it will be a Facebook live element, or a Facebook live chat element. Probably through mini chat or something like that. That way they can chat immediately with somebody on my team and get the final questions answered. Or let's say they're on the broadcast page and they try to leave. Right? "Oh you got a final question? We got a live moderator right now. Go ahead and drop it in." And there's probably going to be some ... Like a page profile or something like that. Probably for the main product that someone's just moderating at all times and trying to get back to almost instantly. Right. So we can keep on there. Keep the last few questions going. Because most of the questions I get now are ... They're not, "Hey, I don't believe this product works." The questions I get now from my webinar are primarily, "Hey, will this work for my scenario?" And if I could just have someone answer that question, we'll double our sales right off the bat. And so I'm going to do that on the replay pages, I'm going to do it on the broadcast pages, on the order page, and just to get the last few ... Anyway. So I'm super stoked about it. It's going to be awesome, and all right. That's a lot of stuff. Anyway, that was deep. That was heavy. If you need to listen to that again, go for it. I would love to do like a full blown out course just walking through all the cool stuff I'm dropping in. There's so many ways. Now that my ... Because I recreated my whole offer, and it's so much more sexy. It already was sexy, but it is like ... I got the correct response this time guys. People were emailing me, they were Facebooking me, they were all saying, "Dude are you sure you want to give all that value away for that price?" But I was like, "Yes. Yes. That means I hit it. That means I did it right. That means ... Okay. That is the correct response that I want," and I got a lot of them. And I'm like, "Yes. Okay, sweet." Right? And I'm finishing the last few pieces that I want to go get for the stack slides, and stack section itself. I'm getting the webinar funnel where I want to be now. And I'm obsessing over the little things now that'll add just another two percent conversion here. Extra half percent conversion there. Now I can obsess over that tiny stuff because for a while it's just making sure that freaking offer is amazing. Anyway. So I'm excited about that. And I'm going to go put these different pieces together, and anyways it's going to be epic. All right guys, hey go crush it. And please for the love, if you have not left a review, I get so excited. Thank you guys for dropping those reviews in there. I just spent two days studying and learning the stuff that I just dropped you guys in 30 minutes to an hour here. Over these last few episodes. I would love a review if you wouldn't mind... If you could drop it on over. That drastically helps. I'm certainly always trying to increase the reach of this. We are pushing stuff all over on Instagram. I'm getting my content machine all put together. But I would love that, and anyway. In fact, I think I got a cool little special bonus coming up for those of you guys who do coming up soon. So anyways ... Because I can see your name on it which is awesome. Anyways guys, thanks so much, appreciate it. There's my ask. All right guys. Talk to you later. Bye. Hey thanks for listening. Please remember to rate and subscribe.

Here's what I learned while watching Russell in his $3 Million Dollar HOUR... What's going on, everyone? This is Steve Larsen and you're listening to Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best internet sales funnels. Now here's you host Steve Larsen. Steve Larsen: Hey, what's going on, everyone? Hey, so I just barely left ... Where was I? I was in Vegas. I forget where I go now. I'm traveling a lot right now. I'm going all over the place. I was home for a few days, went over and traveled. I'm only home for a few days again. I'm going to go travel again. I'm home for just a little bit, then I'll go travel again. It's all over the place right now. It's been fun. I really, really do enjoy it. Missing the family though a lot actually, but it's been really interesting. I had the very rare opportunity of watching Russell pitch. I was at Grant Cardone's 10X event and it was a great experience. I got to go sit down and watch. Honestly my favorite speaker was Grant himself. Okay? Besides Russell. I'm going to talk about that in a second. If you've not heard the huge news with that, which is pretty amazing, but I was sitting there and I was listening to Grant Cardone and he was teaching amazing stuff. Absolutely love listening to him. Super dynamic speaker. Great guy to listen to. I got a lot of great things from other speakers as well. Frankly the whole reason I went down to this event, okay, I was not planning on going to this event for quite some time. It was about a month ago. I remember I woke up one morning and I started thinking ... I don't know why guys, but I started thinking you know what? I've spoken on a lot of smaller stages now. I've spoken on a lot of smaller stages and smaller events, anywhere from 1 to 200 people, many times now, right, and several other events when there's supposed to be more people and there wasn't and there's a smaller amount. You roll the punches. A lot of fun, but I started to think. I'm like, "I want to see big people. Really huge influencers. I've got to see them go speak on huge stages with massive audiences and see what they do with their energy." The entire reason that I went to Grant Cardone's Growth event, right? 10X Growth event. I actually did not realize how big of a deal it was. I'm going to be completely honest with you. I didn't realize how many people were going to be there until I think the day before ... Not even. No, no. Yeah, okay, the day before I went down there, there was 8,500 people. 8,500. I didn't know. I have never been in an event that has been that big, that huge. I had no idea it was going to be that big, which there was pros and cons to it. Obviously I'm a huge fan of ... Obviously the pro of a smaller venue is you get a little more of the personal touch. However, the con is you may not get to network quite as much. I mean there's no way I'm going to meet 8,500 people anyway. Anyway, literally the entire reason I went to this event was to go watch massive, massive influencers speak to massive, massive audiences. I've spoken enough on other stages. I've taught a lot on other stages. Obviously not just on Russell's, but a lot of others. There is this vibe. Okay? Each presenter pulls different energies and relationships out of the audience, and it's fun to watch. They will match and they will mirror to the personality of the one speaking. It was fun to watch. It's always fun to watch. If you have ever listened to Darren Stevens, he talks about universals and truisms, things like that, to bring the audience together to get them to do things that you want. I love studying stage and I love studying stage presenters and what they do to actually control the audience. They have no idea most of the time that that's what's going on. Anything from small and OP things, down to the words you say, the gesture you use, the stories you tell. Stage to me is an amazing performance. I have a lot of respect for it because of ... If you go watch a movie, they can do a million takes, but like on a stage, you got to be an A game the entire time. It's all in one take. It's super, super amazing to watch what these guys do. It's honestly what I aspire to do. I want to go do that really bad. I'm really pumped. In a few days, I get to go speak in front of 2,500 people and I'm so excited. It's going to be over in Dallas. That's the biggest group I've ever spoken to. I didn't realize that that actually is a lot of people until Dave Woodward told me it was. I was like, "Oh, I didn't realize that ... I thought everyone's ..." Anyway, I'm excited about that and that's awesome, but knowing that, knowing that that was going to come up, I wanted to go watch this event and it is the reason that I went. I don't know what I was expecting or what I was even thinking, but I wanted to show up and I wanted to go, like I said, to watch how these guys interact. For some reason I had it in my mind, I knew that Russell was going to go and I knew he was going to pitch, and I knew that he was pulling off some very special things to be able to pitch to that many people. That is a skillset of its own, but I watched. I was like, "Yeah. I'm going to go." I didn't tell him I was going to show up for a while and I went and I showed up and got to listen. The shocking thing right from the beginning, I don't know why I was expecting anything different. I thought well, there's got to be some extra thing that he's doing for that many people. What is it? There's got to be some extra ... I knew he was going to use the perfect webinar script. I knew he was going to go through it. That's what I teach guys in Two Comma Club Coaching. I go through and teach you how to actually set up a webinar and get it going, which is ... Frankly, it's one of the major reasons I left my job. I wanted to go prove out and who that that's actually something I knew how to do as well, not just teach it. I'm actually doing it, which I am. It's great. I'll keep accounting for what's been going on there in future episodes here. I don't know why I expected anything to be different. I sat down and I can tell you that he used the perfect webinar script just like he would anywhere else. What was fun for me because I love that script. That script has made millions of dollars. I can think of very few of activities in my life that are worth studying that are that high leverage of an activity to go study than to learn how to pitch one to many, right? Instead of one to one, one to many like that. What I did is I started taking these notes and Russell got up and I was so excited. I know. I want to watch a master in his game, right? I got to watch him do that a lot of times sitting next to him face to face or right at his side or whatever in his office, but it was always over a computer, right or it was always over ... There'd be these smaller stages I go see him present of, but never one that big. For some reason I kept thinking that there would be this extra X factor. I can tell you, I even wrote down, I wrote small audience versus large audience equals the same. I don't know why I thought it'd be any different. There was a few things though, little extra flares, right? Little extra things. I mean he's been doing it so long. How can you do it truly 100% the same every single time? There was little tiny things that he did along the way that I thought were just brilliant, little shows of mastery all throughout, right? I took notes of them. I wanted to go through a few of what they are. There's one massive big one. I'm going to save it to the end. There's my little hook to stay to the end, okay? One massive one. There was a huge shift in what he normally does. It was brilliant to watch it guys. Absolutely amazing to watch it. I knew it was coming. I was excited for it. We had studied this stuff before we've gone ... Anyway, it was right before I left actually. He had this huge memory hit. I'm like, "Oh my gosh. There's a guy who used to ... He did a pitch this way. Let me go find it." Like 15 minutes later he had dug up all the pages from years ago and all the emails and he was like, "This is it." When he found it, it was amazing. He's got an elephant brain for marketing stuff. Absolutely incredible. It was one major thing that he switched. There was little funny phrases along the way that I keep continuing to pick up on and put it on my own webinar. Every time I do, I swear my wallet just gets a little bit fatter, which is fun. I hope you guys are doing those things as well. Anyway, this is a skillset to just study and learn and obsess over. I don't know that I've actually told you guys this yet, I recently went and I took everyone of Russell's webinar pitches, anything from Funnel Scripts, DotComSecrets X, obviously Funnel Hacks, Funnel Builder Secrets, any of the software secrets when he did that pitch, I grabbed everyone of the pitches that I've ever seen him do. I ripped the audio from every single one of them and I put them in this ... It's literally 11 hours of me listening to Russell pitch back to back to back to back to back. I will just listen to it, right? I've got it all together and I will just listen to it. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. One after another listen to ... There's all that education that matters that much in my opinion than learning that skillset. Have no mistake that I'm obsessed over this process. I absolutely love it. I love doing it. This is the thing for me to get better at. It's where I've dropped my anchor. You know what I mean? For a long time I just kind of ran around looking for different things to go do. Anyway, what I wanted to do is I've got Russell's Funnel Hacks webinar presentation that we use in Two Comma Club Coaching on one screen right now. Then in front of me, I've got also a whole bunch of notes. What I wanted to do is real quick just run through just a few little things. Some of them might seem tiny. Okay? Some of them might seem tiny. There's one major one though and I want to go through what that is. I want to document it. He certainly will I'm sure because it's just freaking incredible. If you don't know, he did over $3 million in an hour and a half. $3 million dollars in 90 minutes. He had a 90 minute slot. $3 million. His goal awhile ago was just to do a million dollars in a day or even in just a year, right? I think it took four years to hit that million dollars in a year, which is awesome to hit that. That's huge. That's so cool to do that, and then he did again and again and again and again and again and faster and faster. The time getting shorter and shorter and shorter, right? Even the Two Comma Club Coaching program, we did that in three and a half weeks for a million dollars. We did that several times in a few weeks for like Expert Secrets Book, things like that, and the timeline was getting just shorter and shorter, more and more compressed. Finally, building up to this thing, this scenario where he did $3 million in an hour and a half, which is ridiculous. It's so cool. It's so cool. I'm so excited for him, so pumped for him. I went nuts on Voxer just screaming. Oh man. I'm so excited for him. Anyway, I want to go side by side real quick here. If you study the Funnel Hacks webinar, the Funnel Hacks presentation, like I said, this is like the highest leverage stuff I believe you could ever go study that will pay you and pay you and pay you and pay you to learn how to do this stuff. Now I understand. I know there are other ways to pitch. I know there are other scripts. I know there are other formats, but this one is doing amazing. Why change what works? I've been going back through ... I'm sorry. I've not actually gone to the actual content here yet. I promise I will here in just a moment, but what I've been doing also for my own webinar is I've been going through and I've been studying a lot of the big webinar people today, right? I've been funnel hacking Liz Benny and watching her stuff. Dan Henry, right? Obviously Russell. Been going looking at Akbar Sheikh. I've been going and looking at each one of their pieces. Not just the pages, but inside each one of their scripts. How are they saying what they're saying? How does their slide say it? How are certain things here and there that are changing? It's been cool to go through and do that. The major foundation piece of my offer, that came from the market, right? I funnel hacked to a certain extent. I funnel hacked to a certain area and then after that, I went and I made my offer. The actual changes to the funnel, now that the product's done, now the product that I've been selling is totally done, now I'm just focused on two things: the funnel, how can I improve the funnel, the actual buying experience and selling experience, number two, promoting it. That's it. Those are my two activities until I die basically, right? Well, number one, I'm really focusing right now especially on the funnel. I know there are things that are broken. I'm fixing them right now. We're getting those done. I'm very excited for that. Then I'm going and I'm focusing on how to sell this stuff obviously. I've been going through that and I've been changing all these things. My head has already been very much in the spot. That's the whole reason why I'm trying to pre-frame what I'm going to tell you that it's not like just random things I wrote down. This is stuff that I looked at very specifically that what he was doing that I'm going to go through and I'm going to add. Anyway, at the very beginning, like in the Funnel Hacks presentation, one of the things that you do is ... There's really two introductions inside of the perfect webinar and I don't think people realize that. There are two introductions. Number one, you introduce the webinar. Okay? Why the heck are they there, right? Why are they there? If you've ever read the book Pitch Anything, it's one of my favorite books ever, it is definitely probably in the top probably 5 or 10 books I've ever read ever, and what it teaches and goes through is it talks about every time there's something new that comes up inside of the brain or in your life, your head runs through all these filters, right? It's always funny. My wife and I went ... I can't remember what movie we went to go see, but we went to a movie theater. We were sitting down in the movie and the movie preview started showing up, right? The movie previews are showing and they're these little basically little mini stories that are supposed to get you excited about the real thing. It's always funny. Everybody becomes a movie critic at the end of a movie preview, right? You always see everyone's heads turn to each other and go, "Oh yeah. We should see that. It looks great," or you'll see everyone's heads go, "That looks weird. That looks stupid. Dumb. Weird." Everyone becomes this movie critic. Why are you bringing this up, Steven? Because every time something new pops up in front of us, our heads starts to run through a filter, much like a movie preview. We run it through a filter, right? Number one, am I in danger? Needs of the body. Am I in physical danger? Can I eat it? Should I run? Fight or flight? Should I meet with it? Random stuff like that, but there's these criteria that your head runs through whether or not you're trying to to keep you safe and keep you alive and keep you breathing, right? It's the same for every piece of marketing. It's the same for every piece. Unless you can get past the first part of that brain, you will not pitch that person. They will not make a buying decision, right? There are two introductions to a webinar. The first introduction is introducing the webinar itself, right? That's where Russell says, "Hey, look, you're in the right place. This is where I'm going to show you how to do this without this. Here's my earnings disclaimer. Here is a testimonial of somebody else doing this thing." He doesn't even talk about what it is yet or who he is. The second introduction is introducing him or me, right? Because I'm doing the same thing, right? The first I'm introducing the webinar very methodically. Number two, I introduce myself. They got to fall in love with me now, right? The whole reason for those two, especially the first introduction, is to get past that first part of the brain so that they know, "Oh, I'm in a safe place. Oh, I can let the guard down." I literally have been saying that in my webinars lately. "Guys, feel free to just let the guard down. It's okay. Let the walls down. This is a safe place and safe environment for us to all learn." I can't remember everything I say without my slides here yet. I don't have it totally memorize slide by slide yet like Russell does, but it's going in that direction. There's two introductions. The story, Russell use the story at the beginning talking about the Four Minute Mile and he's using it right off the bat. The story is breaking and rebuilding beliefs. It's getting everyone the same plain. That's actually a form of NLP. Especially from stage, it's very, very clever for him to do that from the very beginning, to begin with a story like that. Most people know that story, which brings a sense of community and bringing together, right? All those little things. If you read the book Launch, the nine mental triggers, he is using those like crazy at the very beginning of that pitch. It's very crafted very, very well. He's going through and that's what he's doing. He's going through and he gave the story about the Four Minute Mile. It was absolutely incredible. He tells his own story. He's using an epiphany bridge. "Oh, how cool to be if I made a million dollars? This guy made a million dollars in a day. My Four Minute Mile is what if I just made a million dollars in a year?" He's talking about these internal and external desires, using epiphany bridge script, right? Now what we need to do is we need to see that this guy is not the only nutcase who actually had these results. He goes through and he's showing ... Because that's what the brain is thinking. He goes through and he's showing success stories of others, showing some video testimonials, right? He's using the same exact format and formula. He very, very closely to the point ... It was right after he introduced the webinar, right after he kind of introduced himself as well, he goes into what he calls a price marinade. This is the major difference for fear of talking forever and talking your face off guys and getting to an actual point of this podcast. I'm going to go straight to the main idea. Okay? We've been going for a little bit. I'm just going to talk about it. He does what he calls a price marinade. He's talked about his before so I feel totally fine talking about it as well. A price marinade. Now what's a price marinade? Now in a normal sales environment, it's very common for a lot of times to withhold the actual price until the end, right? What is that in Funnel Hacks? His stack, his value and his stack is $11,552. $11,552. Is this worth $11,552? Of course, it is. If all I said was this, is it $11,552? Of course, it is. Right? That's what he does. He goes through and that's what he teaches. His stack has a total value of $11,552. What typically happens is you withhold that information until the ever end. Then there's a big price drop, a public price, and then another kind of final price drop because you're special and you're on the webinar today. In this scenario, he took that first part and he made it known in the very beginning. This is very key. This is very, very key. This is a huge deal you guys. You don't pull this off without a lot of finesse, which obviously he has and he could do very, very well. What he did is he went and he said, "Here is the price. Before I sell you, before I have anytime to break and rebuild your belief patterns, which is the rest of the webinar, to do the stack and to tell three more stories, before I get a chance to do that, I'm going to tell you the price of this." It's a very interesting play. I feel like I'm going through and I'm talking about and commenting on football plays from the Super Bowl right. It's a very interesting play though to go through and watch a pitch man go and pull part of the price, the most expensive aspect of the price, and bring it at the beginning of the pitch, of an hour and a half pitch. That's a lot of time for someone to get out of their seat and walk away. It's how he did it that was very, very clever. It's called a price marinade because you bring that price forward and you talk about it at the beginning and you bring it up first so that it marinates. The brain has time to get used to that price point except that the price point that you said is actually real and say yes to it along the way. Is this making sense? I know I'm like going deep into the weeds right now and it's not normal on my podcast to do this. Usually when I do this, people are like, "Oh, that's an okay episode." I'm like, "No. That was like the most gold I could have given." It's because it's not wrapped in terms of the story right now. That's why people might feel like that. Understand what I'm saying. He brought the most expensive, the total value of a stack, and he brought it first. This is what he said, "My goal is to show you that everything that I'm doing here for you to be successful you need to invest $11,552." That's about how he worded it. Is that okay? He made everyone raise their hand. I think we raised our hand or we did something physical to attach to that verbal thing where we said, "Yes. Yes, Russell. I agree. If you can give me 10 times the results of my business right now," we're talking about 10X even he tied it right into it, which is awesome, "if you can give 10 times what my business is doing now, of course, I'll pay you $11,552." This was masterful. This was masterful because he charges $3,000 for the product, but they've already said yes to a much higher price point. Now he has the entire rest of the "webinar" live from stage, though in front of 9,000 people ... How many people were there? I think it was 8,500. He's got the rest of the time to break and rebuild the beliefs that are saying no to $11,552. He went through and guys, the way he crafted it was just incredible. Just incredible. What's interesting is Russell's following the path with ClickFunnels that all of us would be expected to follow as well. First, you write a sales message. You make sure it sells. Then you actually built the product to make sure it fulfills what you sold, right? Then you kind of go on the road selling it like crazy, and you're doing the same webinar to tons of people for a long extended period of time. That's kind of the road that I'm getting on right now and I'm feeling that shift... In fact, I was talking to Cole. You guys know, he's my buddy and he's my first full-time employee, which I'm very excited about to be happening here in a month or two, which I'm very excited about. He was already keeping me on track saying like, "Dude, stay focused man. Don't go getting on anything else," but I'm willing that shift right now. I'm feeling the shift and Russell was in the shift. The shift is don't go build anything else. Just sell the crap out of the thing that you've proven, right? You go and you go and you start selling and selling and selling and selling and selling and selling and selling. Russell for the last little while has done nothing, but the Funnel Hacks webinar... Very few other webinars here and there that he's built from scratch. This one though, I think he built the majority of this one from scratch. It was amazing to watch the template and the way he used the template of the perfect webinar script and he took certain parts here and he moved other parts there. You need to see what parts are malleable and what parts are not. What's interesting is it's no surprise what's not malleable. Storytelling? That's not malleable. You tell your stories. You get good at telling stories. You want to know how you sell? Tell stories. You want to know how to market? Tell stories. At the very based bottom line of it without going to any other detail, marketing to storytelling. You know what I mean? You're building and rebuilding the way someone sees the world through storytelling. That's exactly what he did. He's followed that exact same thing, but this idea of the price marinade is how he was able to get everyone pre-framed for a lot of money. Then it was this insatiable deal when it was only three grand. Does that make sense? He's introducing a constraint. He's introducing a constraint at the beginning of the webinar. The constraint being, "It's 11 grand. Oh my gosh. I've got to come up with $11,000. Holy crap." Then he's releasing it at the end. Same thing with the Funnel Hacks webinar. He introduces the constraint. Hey, this is what ClickFunnels is. It's $297. For $297 you get this and this and this and this and this and this. He's saying that because that creates limits, that creates barriers, right? You get this many contacts. You get this many funnels. You get this many this and that. He's saying that so that at the end of the webinar he can release the constraint for his fast acting bonus and get people to get it. This was like loaded with tons of constraints at the beginning with tons of constraint releasing at the end. That's why I was so freaking nuts and excited about the pitch that I was seeing. I was like dude, you usually just put like one limiting thing at the beginning and then you release that constraint at the end. You put like a hundred and price marinade. Oh my gosh. $3,000 price point. Thee million bucks in an hour and a half. Oh my gosh. Huge guys. Hall of frame right there in my mind. Should be in yours as well. I know that he's got this Two Comma Club Coach trophy, but they better come up for another way for what he just did. $3 million in an hour? That should be its own award. Most of us is just trying to hit that in much longer period of time. It's pretty funny. Walk inside ClickFunnels and he's got I think 17 or 18 Two Comma Club awards of his own, and three of them are $10 million products besides ClickFunnels. The dude knows how to sell. Mad, mad, mad props, my friend. Absolutely incredible. Very fun to watch that. I encourage everyone of you guys to obsess like you would over sports or obsess like you would like a hobby over the act of pitching. You've got to sell. Everything depends on sales. Don't think that you can be in marketing and neglect sales. They are different. They are different. The better marketer you are, the less hard sales we have to do, but you still have to learn how to sell. You still got to learn how to pitch. You still got to learn how to present an offer. Obsess over these elements. These are the things, these are the dials to turn. These are the most high leverage activities for you to go obsess and absolutely love. Anyway, that's all I got for you guys. I'm sorry if it was a little bit in the weeds. It's a little bit of a different styled episode than normally I would do, but I just wanted to talk about that and help you guys understand like why that was such a big deal. It was a huge deal on a lot of accounts. My brain, my little marketing serious brain is going nuts. I literally was just about to end the episode, but I forget one other thing that you guys should all know about. One of the things I've struggled with ... Struggling is the wrong word for it, but like is a challenge when you're face to face with people in an event to get people when it's time to go buy to actually stand up, the physical action of them to stand up and go buy at the back table or back of the room or whatever. The reason why is because they will sit there and they just kind of look at you and they don't want to be rude because you're talking. You have to give them permission to stand up even though you just said, "Go to the back right now. There's order forms on the back. When they're gone, they're gone," or whatever, right? You have to actually say it. It's interesting to watch Russell ... Two of the things here that I've just learned from those are huge, huge, huge guys. I hope that you are soaking this in. This is annoying that I'm going this long, but it was cool to watch him. Several times when he got to the part where the actual call to action came, he would be like, "Guys, if you can tell this is already going to fit you already, like stand up and go to the back. Stand up and go to the back. Seriously right now. Stand up and go to the back. Get up. Stand. Right now. Just get up and go to the back." He kept saying it like that way. Then he would stop like in the middle of the stack. I stood up. He was super nice. He talked about my MLM Funnel in his presentation. All this people around me were asking about it. I stood up to go down to the table and they were like, "You bought already." I was like, "This is something to buy again." I started walking down. He still went for another like 15-20 minutes it felt like. It was funny at least. About 15 minutes. He wasn't even done with the presentation and there was probably a thousand people. He wasn't even done. That's what I want to come say. He was not done and he kept going and going. He was finishing the whole presentation, but there was already this huge massive people at the tables turning their order forms like hotcakes. That's what I want you to understand and know is that ... He continued to throughout, continued to say, "Stand up and go to the back. If you know this is a good for you already, oh look at that. Those are the smart people who are already in the back right now just standing up and go to the back." He kept giving permission because people don't want to get rude. They're sitting there. They're listening to you. They're in this docile state. You got to break that. He'll continue to say it over and over and over and over, getting them permission to come up. I've used that tactic in the past and I made the stupid mistake of not continuing to say it. I kept talking afterwards and some dude sat down after he saw that I kept speaking. It pissed me off. He didn't go buy because he was trying not to be rude to me. That dude should have just went and bought. I did not continue to say stand up. Stand up. When you're doing live events like that, continue to say, "Get up if you know this fits for you. Get up. Keep going. This would be helpful for you. Get up." Then the next day what he had was a ... He was able to stand back up and give a ... It was basically a re-offer. He like did a double close. It was really interesting. He gave away some really cool ... He basically stood up and said, "Look guys, I pulled $3 million out of the room. If you guys want to know how I did it, I've decided that I'm going to add my presentation and all the stuff that I did inside what you bought. If you're like on the fence relieving like in the next little bit, you have got to stand up right now and go to the back and purchase right now because I'll give you ..." He's adding his extra bonuses in. I thought like how interesting is that? The guy is offer creating off the fly. This is incredible. Just making it even better and better and better and better. Anyways, he did this cool follow up thing. I was thinking like how would I apply it to a webinar? I'm thinking if I can, that's going to be a cool thing where I do some cool unadvertised bonus. Hey look, if you're still on the fence, I decided to add X, Y and X in. I think it'd be awesome. Anyway, I'm excited to go apply some of the things that I saw to the online webinar. This certainly apply. Man, guys, I get more excited about Funnel Hacking Live than Christmas and this was like the most exciting thing I've ever seen in my life. It was so cool. You guys can call me nerd. I don't care. It was awesome. All right guys. Talk to you later. Obsess over your thing. Don't let anyone else talk you out of working hard. Talk to you later.

Hey there, James P. Friel again and I’m so thankful you’ve joined Dean and me for another episode of Just The Tips. This one is pretty special because it features our crazy friend, the Queen of Kapow, Liz Benny. I really wanted to bring Liz on the show because her story is one that is truly inspirational. I know you hear that a lot these days, but success stories don’t any better than this. Liz was as down as down and out gets. All kinds of trouble was going on in her life - and then - she decided to change it. And change it she did. You’ve got to hear Liz’s story. If she can do what she did, you can do what you need to do. I’m sure of it. Working her way toward success in a moldy, cold apartment over 12 months’ time. When things are bad you only have two options. You can resign yourself to it and sulk and moan. Or you can do something about it. Liz Benny decided she’d do something about it simply because she knew that if she didn’t her life would continue to follow the negative, incredibly painful path it was already taking. Liz tells her story on this episode of Just The Tips and you need to check your pulse if you listen and are not moved to go out and change your world. The power of envisioning your future to be terrible - unless you take action. One of my goals for the Just The Tips podcast is to give you, the listener, practical and powerful tips taken directly from the stories of our incredible guests. When I asked Liz Benny what it was that enabled her to make such a tremendous change in her life in only 12 months she said that some people are motivated by the carrot, while others are motivated by the stick. She is a stick person. She needed a very negative consequence to keep her going. What motivated her was to envision what her life would be like in 12 months if she did not make changes. That terrible future reality is what motivated her to do whatever it took to make her life different. What she was able to accomplish is truly impressive and Dean and I want you to hear Liz's story on this episode. How Liz Benny became the Queen of Kapow. And what the heck does it mean, anyway? One of the funny things Liz has become known for is that she is the Queen of Kapow! It was in one of her very first online videos that she used the word “kapow” and from that moment on it has stuck with her. The word has become so associated with her that her followers often take pictures of themselves with the word “kapow" and send it to her as an encouragement. What does she mean when she says it? That's a great question and one that we wanted answered on this episode of Just The Tips. Liz has a pretty special definition of the word and you'll be very intrigued by how she explains it. Life as a course creator is a living hell if you don’t do it right. One of the things Liz created that caused her business to explode once she was initially successful is an online course that teaches others how to build their own online course. Her course is unique in that it teaches you exactly what to do, step by step. Think of it as digital hand-holding as you work your way through the process of putting together their own video course. But Liz stresses that if you don't set your course up properly it will drive you crazy. She doesn't want that for you and neither do we, so please, whatever you have to do, listen to this episode to learn how you can do it the right way. Outline of This Episode [0:42] Why Dean and I have invited the Queen of Kapow onto the podcast. [10:53] Liz’s journey from rags to riches and success. [15:13] How did Liz motivate herself to accomplish so much in 1 year. [24:37] Creating a course/program to help others build their own thing online. [31:23] How you can connect with Liz Benny.

The Story Behind Alison's Ecommerce Empire... Stephen Larsen: Hey everybody, this is Steve Larsen, and welcome to a very special episode of Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio, where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business, using today's best internet sales funnel. Now, here's your host, Steve Larson. Stephen Larsen: All right you guys. Hey, this is exciting. You know, for me I'm just selfishly wanting to talk to, in my opinion, one of the coolest people that is out there. One of the most inspiring stories. Doing exactly what they love. I'm just excited that I hit the record button and you guys get to listen in. There's a lot that I feel like I could learn from this person. I haven't done an interview in a very long time, and I'm excited to bring on just a complete rock star. Everybody, this is Alison Prince. Alison, how you doing? Alison Prince: Good. I'm so excited to be here. Thanks for having me. Stephen Larsen: Yeah. You've been running the, let's see, Pick a Plum and Because I Can Clan for a while now, right? Alison Prince: I have. I actually own seven businesses, Stephen. Stephen Larsen: Oh really? Don't tell Russell. Alison Prince: I know. I'm a little bit of a serial entrepreneur. Stephen Larsen: We get that. That's cool. What's your most favorite one right now that you're doing? Alison Prince: Do you know, it's actually the Because I Can Clan. Stephen Larsen: Oh really? That's your most recent one, isn't it? Alison Prince: It is. I launched that right after I joined the Inner Circle. Launched it in about March, officially in March. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. Just for everyone listening, the first time I ever met Alison is actually, actually do you want to tell everyone how you got into the Inner Circle? I think it's hilarious. Alison Prince: Yeah. I hope I don't get in trouble for it, though. Stephen Larsen: No. It'll be awesome. Alison Prince: I own a blog called How Doe She? I've been running that for almost eight years, which is crazy. We're always trying to learn, always trying to figure out new ways to do affiliate type promotions on the blog. I went to an affiliate conference, it was actually down in Las Vegas. When I got there, it was not the conference that I signed up for. I went to the classes. The classes, I swear, every single speaker was drunk, or it was totally a click bait class. The title was one thing and then what they spoke on was totally different. I'm like, where am I? I saw Click Funnel and I'm like, oh I wonder if this will really help my business? I went and I listened to Russell, and his title was exactly what he spoke about. He wasn't drunk. I really appreciated the honesty from the title. His pitch, the way he presented himself, I was just super impressed with it. Then what, two weeks later I had joined the Inner Circle. From just figuring out who Russell Brunson was, two weeks later, joined the Inner Circle because I knew he was good. I knew his message was good. I knew he was honest, and so I just jumped in with both feet. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. I mean, it was literally, what, two weeks later you were at the Funnel Hackathon event, the FHAT event. Alison Prince: Yes, which was a wild ride. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, and you stood up and you were talking and stuff. It's funny because you introduced yourself and your story. I remember, I mean it's an intense three days. In the back office though, like back in Russell's office, he and I were both like, "Have you met that Alison lady? Oh my gosh, she's so cool. Where does she come from? Where are more people like that?" When we see you as an individual, and you as a person and the things that you're doing, you just seem like the kind of person that is 100% truly genuine and there and happy. You're present in the moment, and it makes people wonder, "Who is this lady? How is she doing what she's doing and why am I not doing that?" It's really cool. We talked all about ... Don't think, yeah, we were talking all about you. It's really easy. Alison Prince: Go for it. Lots of people do. I don't care. Stephen Larsen: Yeah. It's really easy to see just that you absolutely love what you do. It's super unique, it's extremely inspiring. You've got the family side down and the business side down, it seems like. You're traveling. Anyways. Alison Prince: Yeah. Well there is. Okay, so I've been over to Thailand for the last three weeks. I have severe jet lag right now. I took my whole family over there. We were out there for three weeks doing service projects. Why? Because we can... I decided, I've been able to do this and I have lived my dream life. Now it's time to help others live their dream life too. This is, we have so many opportunities here in America. The education, like on YouTube University, everything that Russell gives. Stephen, your podcast is absolutely amazing. We have so much information to change our lives. I decided to start the Because I Can Clan, because we can. We can change our lives. We can do the things of the dreams that we want to, and be in the moment. Have the family. I mean, I have four kids and we're over Thailand. Like real severe poverty, helping those kids, trying to help them change their lives. We were able to do some job training over there too. It was just, I don't know, there's just so much opportunity, so much excitement out there, to be able to live how you want to. Because it's just, it's there. There's so much out there right now. Stephen Larsen: It's so true. Before I hit the record button everyone, we were talking and you were saying, "It seems lik you and Russell don't sleep." That's so true. It's the exact same reason. It's funny, all these things that we learn and we go do, it's fun, but there's also a bit of a mantle that comes with it, it sometimes feels like. You have a responsibility, in my opinion, to go out and help other people know that you know how to do. Anyway, I'm just completely in agreeance of what you're saying. It's so real and tangible. When you start getting to these levels of various success, that you've got to turn around. I believe and it sounds like you do too, that there's a little bit of a responsibility to turn around and kind of just help humanity, help the other guy who's still struggling. Alison Prince: Yeah. Then I think it's ... Okay, so let's go back. I think it might be a little bit of selfishness too, because when you serve, you feel so good. If you can create a business around serving, it just fulfills you. In the mornings when you get up, it's not hard to get up at five, six in the morning, and you're so excited to get to work. You don't feel like you're working. It's just this beautiful thing that goes together, where you're actually having fun every single day, doing what you love. Then going to bed at night knowing that you did ... I don't know, you're just happy. It just fulfills, it fulfills me... Stephen Larsen: That's so fun. That's so cool. Yeah. I love what I do for people. My wife always makes fun of me. She's like, "How come you get kind of awkward every time someone asks you what you do?" I'm like, well because I don't know what to say sometimes. How much time do they have? Alison Prince: So true. Stephen Larsen: I want to just tell them everything, and they'll run away from me from that. I am extremely interested, my sister, my brother, lots of my close family and friends actually follow you very closely, and what you do. They're incredibly inspired by it. I just wanted to ask, did you always want to have your own business? Is this something you stumbled into? Is it something you created out of a side necessity? You know what I mean? What really put you into that? Alison Prince: Okay. I went to college and I was a junior high teacher, if you can believe that. Stephen Larsen: Wow. I had no idea. Alison Prince: I loved those kids. We laughed, or I laughed at them, every single day. Imagine, I don't know, 300 eighth graders that you got to see every single day. They were just a ball of energy. I know some people it's like their worst nightmare, but I love, we had so much fun together. We would do pumpkin chucking contests. Then we would sit in shopping carts for the mass equals acceleration times whatever. I forgot. It's all physics stuff. We'd put a kid in a shopping cart, push them down the hallway to see if they would go faster if someone was in the shopping cart, out of the shopping cart. We had so much fun learning. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. Alison Prince: Then I got my first paycheck. Stephen, it was like a slap in the face. Because they handed me my paycheck and they said, "Oh, by the way, you qualify for food stamps." I was like, "Wait, what? No, I studied math and science for four years in college. What do you mean I get food stamps?" They're like, "Yup, welcome to being a teacher." You know, I should have done the research beforehand, but when you're young you don't really think about money until you start having children and your husband's going to school full time and you have real bills. I started a little tutoring business on the side. I could tutor one to two kids a night, but I had a baby at home. My husband was going to school full time and I just couldn't get enough tutoring hours in. Then I started hiring people. Hired them for $15 an hour but charged $20 an hour, so I made an additional $5. Then I ended up hiring about four teachers, and so I was making as much money, not actually having to go and work those two hours. I'm like, oh my gosh, what is this? That's when the entrepreneur bug bit, as I figured out how I could free up my time by hiring other people to be able to grow a business, or to be able to work on the things that made me happy. I haven't stopped since. Stephen Larsen: That's amazing. What eventually made you leave that? I really wanted to be a tenth grade history teacher for a long time. That was actually my dream for a long time. That's the first time all you guys on this podcast have heard that. I really love history. I love war stories. I love all that stuff. It was the exact same thing you just said, it was the paycheck that kept me from doing any of that. What eventually made you leave that altogether? Alison Prince: Well, we moved to Oklahoma. My husband got accepted to school out there. The pay was $10,000 less than the pay in Utah, if you can even imagine that. Then I was pregnant with my second child. We were on food stamps, state support, and I was working a ton as a teacher. I'm like, this is just, this isn't right. This isn't right... I don't want to be on state assistance. I've gone to college. My husband's going to college. I became a realtor at that point. I had to stop the tutoring business because, this is going to tell you how old I am, but the internet really wasn't up and going at that point. It was hard to do a business out of state, so I became a realtor during the boom. I made $60,000 working part-time. Was able to get off all the assistance, be able to support, help pay for my husband's college. Through that, real estate, I was helping new buyers and so I was still educating. I was still getting that fulfillment of educating people, but it was just in a different area. I was helping new home buyers find their first home, and it was awesome. Then that just led to the next business and then the next business. Then eventually it rolled around into How Does She, which is the blog. I call it my playground, where I get to learn how the internet works, how to grow Facebook. We actually grew our Facebook page to two million followers organically. Stephen Larsen: That's huge. Alison Prince: I know. We just hit two million like two weeks ago. We did it in about two years, so we're pretty excited about that. I get to learn and play. Now I started the Because I Can Clan, helping others be able to do the entrepreneur side of things, to be able to change their lives. To be able to, if they are teachers and they need extra money, there's a way to do it where it doesn't eat all your time. There's a way to do it to be able to bring in that extra income. Stephen Larsen: Yeah. I know everyone's situations are different, especially the guys that are listening out there. Everyone's coming from different backgrounds, so obviously take what I'll say with a grain of salt here. I remember the exact same thing, when we were in college and all this stuff. When we were first starting out, we had to take loans. We had to get all the assistance and stuff. I could not help but fight this incredibly huge feeling that I was just cheating, and I needed to go create a business. That's one of the major reasons I started doing that also. You're heavily involved though, right now in eCommerce, right? Alison Prince: Yes. Stephen Larsen: Big, big, big. Alison Prince: Yeah, when I started the blog, with How Does She, we would do posts. They were creative posts, like how to make this or how to make that. Then people would say, "Where do you get your products from?" I was sending them to Home Depot. I was sending them to Michael's Crafts. Then one day I was like, "Why am I not sending them to me? Why am I sending them to these other stores? Why don't I set up like an eCommerce store?" I started a business called Pick Your Plum, and sold out the very first day. What it was is, it was a daily deal site and I would have one product up every single day. The very first day, put up my product, sold out. Second day, sold out. Third day, didn't sell any. I'm like, dang it, is this the right thing? Then grew it into a huge business within two years, just by sending people over. It was just one product a day. Now it's about 70, 80 products a day. In the beginning it was just one product a day. I had never done eCommerce before. Then we would sell out so fast, and a lot of our American distributors, they would run out of the product for us. I got on an airplane, went over to China, and started finding manufacturers. I don't know any Chinese. I have never been to China. I've never taken a business class, Stephen, ever. Stephen Larsen: They're overrated. Off the record, they're totally overrated. I learn more from books. It's all good. Alison Prince: Yup. I learned more from doing and getting on that plane to China, than I ever could have in a classroom. It was scary. I had four kids at the time. My sweet husband was here and I'm like, "I'm going to China." He's like, "Okay." It's not just like going to the mall and getting products. Stephen Larsen: No. Alison Prince: It's crazy across the world. Yeah, got on a plane, went and found manufacturers. Then started to learn how to import. Did I make mistakes? Oh yes I did. Did I learn from it and created a successful business from it? Absolutely. It was well worth that. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, I remember, okay one of the most recent things that I've heard of that you've done is, you sold pillowcases. Alison Prince: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Stephen Larsen: First of all, how did you choose pillowcases out of every product that was out there? Alison Prince: Okay, so let me back up a little bit and tell you a little bit more about the story. Stephen Larsen: I would love that, yeah. Alison Prince: My daughters, they were sleeping in and just, they were 10 and 13 at the time. This is when I'm running How Does She, when I'm running Pick Your Plum. The girls, they were just being teenagers, and they were tired and sleeping in till 10. My husband and I were like, we don't want to raise children that are lazy. They were just trying to figure out what they wanted. What we did is we said, "You guys have three options. You can move out of the house." Which of course, we didn't want them to move out of the house. "You can do more chores, which we're going to start at seven o'clock in the morning on a Saturday morning. Or you can start a business. Which of those three choices would you want to do?" Of course, they were like, "We want to start a business." Stephen Larsen: Cool. Alison Prince: What they did is they started this business. I gave them some resources, but I really wanted them to try and to test it, because I didn't want to be holding their hand the whole time. They needed to learn this journey. Then you're not going to believe this, but in nine months, just nine months, they sold over $100,000. Stephen Larsen: That's crazy. Alison Prince: $100,000. Makayla, she was in junior high at the time, she would come home crying because she couldn't get her locker open. I'm like, "Don't worry honey, you just sold $5000 today. You can pay someone to open up your locker for you." Stephen Larsen: A 10 and a 13 year old, $100,000 a year. Alison Prince: 10 and a 13 year old, yeah. Yes, they sold over $100,000 in nine months. I was like, okay, if these girls can do it, other people can do it. Then I of course went to my sister. You got to test it, right? Done it with my girls, so I went to my sister and I'm like, "Hey, let's try something." She needed something at the time because she needed a new roof. There was just a lot going on in her life. She was budgeting and going to garage sales and just didn't have a ton of money to buy this roof that she needed. She went through this whole thing and she sold $129,000 in nine months. Apparently she wanted to outdo the girls. Stephen Larsen: New roof. Alison Prince: Got her new roof, yeah, it was pretty exciting. People have said, "Alison, well that's cool you've done it, and it's probably because you have these platforms." I'm not going to lie, How Does She has a great following of two million people. When the girls started, it wasn't that big of a number. People have said, "Alison, of course you can do it. You have these huge social media platforms." This goes to the pillowcases. I build a business to prove that you don't need to have this huge social media following to be successful. I went out and I found that pillowcases, yeah, like the lamest, boring product, were trending. That's the rule, secret number one, the rule to success is just sell what other people are buying. If people are buying it, just put it in front of them. You don't have to go out and have this huge, crazy shark tank idea. We went and we built this little pillowcase business. In 24 months we sold over a million dollars in pillowcases. Stephen Larsen: That is insane. Alison Prince: Yeah, and it was to prove that you don't have to have this big, huge social media following. On that pillowcase business, there's only like 55 Facebook followers. It's my sister and my brother, and I guarantee you they did not buy $1.1 million in pillowcases. Promise. Stephen Larsen: Now my brother and my sister, they've all gone through your course. They love your course. They talk about you all the time. Alison Prince: Yay, good. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, they just really, really love it, all the value you put out there too, and showing people how you do it. Their biggest question afterward though, and I was wondering if I could ask you here. Alison Prince: Put me on the spot. Stephen Larsen: Was, what are some of the methods you use to go find what people are buying? Alison Prince: I've actually built, and I go through it step by step in the course, so maybe I just need to point them to that again. You go and you, like there are specific sites that I look at to see what's trending. I check it almost every single day, except of course when I was in Thailand, because you couldn't get the internet half the time. The internet is so amazing and so beautiful, and it just, it literally spoon feeds you the information. You just have to know where to find it, and be receptive to it. Stephen Larsen: Oh that's so true. Yeah. Alison Prince: Once you know how to find the #trending on specific sites, then you just see what's selling. Then you go, and you don't copy their idea, I want to put that out there. You don't copy, like if they've got a specific branded product, you don't copy it, but there's so many commodity products out there. My girls, they didn't come up with some new crazy idea. You want to know what they sold? Did I already tell you what they sold? Stephen Larsen: No, I don't think so. Alison Prince: They sold scarves, Stephen. Scarves. Stephen Larsen: $100,000 with scarves. I told Russell the other day, if there's another like 12 year old that makes a million bucks, so help me, because it's ridiculous. The formulas are all out there everybody, for you to actually just make money. Alison Prince: It is. Stephen Larsen: You really just have to look around. The market will always tell you what you need to sell. I always tell people, the creativity that you need in order to make a lot of money is actually not inside of you. You don't have it or you don't possess it. All you do is you look around at everything that's around you, and you look at the market through some of the ways Alison's talking about. There's these ways you can test and see before you jump in, and before it's scary and you might lose your shirt. The market will always tell you what to sell, it's not inside of you to know. Alison Prince: You don't invest a lot of money, I love that you said that. The girls, they didn't put in like $16,000. No. They bought some from California, and then they just tested it. We probably, I don't know, put in maybe like $100 to $200 to see if they would even sell, and they sold out very fast so we knew we had something. Then we invested more, and then we invested more. Don't risk your whole life savings, you don't need to. That's crazy Stephen. I have sold so many products, and to this day I still won't invest huge money into stuff until I tested it. You don't need to. Test it first. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, 100%. I'm in the middle of doing that with my own thing. Just this small, little $100 thing, and it's been running for a long time. Finally, I feel like, all right, that's been tested to death, I think that I can actually jump full in on this other thing. It's been a lot of fun to do that. The testing is so key. Everybody dreams, I feel like. We get caught in this, it's totally the shark tank mentality. I need to sell something that's big and unique and crazy. I call it product big bang theory, where it's just boom, this big massive idea that no one's ever heard of before. The problem is that no one ever wants that stuff. They think they do. It's really product evolution. You're just finding other things that are selling and you add little tweaks to them, and go blow it up. Alison Prince: Yup. Stephen Larsen: This is Sales Funnel Radio. Which funnel do you use to sell that stuff? Alison Prince: Okay, so you have to remember that I just started ClickFunnels in March. Stephen Larson: You're a pro. Alison Prince: From February until June, I have been out of the country for two of the months. It has been insane and crazy, crazy stuff. I did a freemium funnel, and honestly the freemium funnel didn't convert as much as the 4.99 funnel did. Stephen Larsen: Wow. Alison Prince: I know, it's kind of crazy, right? The scarves, this was done before I knew about Click Funnels, the scarves, so we just did it on a basic shopping cart website. We did a freemium offer then, did amazing. We did three free scarves with the shipping, and then shipping and handling, and they did amazing. We did a lot of those. It did really well. I've noticed that in the community that I am in, I work with a lot of bloggers. I work with a lot of marketplaces. The freemium offer isn't converting as well. I think people are a little scared of it. They've been burnt by it. It's too good to be true. If we can just give them a really good deal, let's say we do the pillowcases for like two for 24, that goes like wildfire, with free shipping. Because it's an offer, and what you and Russell both talk about is give them an option, give them an offer they cannot turn down. Two for 24 with free shipping on these pillowcases, people eat it up. What we've been doing is we've been putting a lot of funnels in place that just really focus on one item, and one really good offer, which you guys of course talk about nonstop. That's it. Stephen, all we have to do is just listen to you guys and do it, and it works. Stephen Larsen: I'm paying her to say that everybody. Alison Prince: No, but it is so true. We over complicate things. We just need to keep things simple, and listen. It works. It's just super, we overthink things, we over complicate things as human beings. I know when I built my course out, I was over complicating things like crazy. Stephen, like I asked you some questions and you're like, "Simple Alison. Keep it simple." It converted so much better than when it was complicated... Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. Alison Prince: Props to you. Stephen Larsen: Thank you very much. You know, it's funny, most people, they tend to think, "Well Alison right now, she's talking about eCommerce and I'm over here in info products. That's completely different so I must need to disregard all of the things that she's saying." Or, "I'm doing this over here." Guys, it's all the same. It's human psychology. These sales processes, the way you create offers and you put it all together, it's the same thing across the board. It doesn't matter if you're selling physical, digital, any kind of info product business, a service based professional service, like you're a dentist or something. It's all the same. Alison Prince: It really is. Stephen Larsen: You just have to think what part your business fits in that model, and then go fill the gaps and it starts to come together. That being said, how did you think up an offer that they can't turn down? That's interesting. Alison Prince: I just asked them. Stephen Larsen: It can't be that simple. Alison Prince: It is that simple. You put it out there, and if nobody buys, no one pulls out their wallet, you know your offer stinks. You don't take it personally. You just say, okay, let me come up with another offer. I was on Facebook the other day, of course, and I wish I can remember the quote. Someone was saying, the reason why he's successful is because he just puts out offers. The more offers he puts out, the better he does. You take your product and you put out an offer. If it doesn't do well, okay, not a big deal, redo it and then test it again, and test it again and test it again. We need to be testing things constantly, until we can nail it. Then once we nail it, then of course we scale it, we grow it as big as we can. To put out a Facebook offer, that doesn't cost a lot of money. If you've got a good following, it doesn't really cost anything to just test it. You put out an offer, you put $5 in. If someone bites, oh take it. Tweak it just a little bit... See if you can get two people to buy off of it. I think that's what people think, they put out an offer and if nobody buys they're like, "Oh, my product stinks." Or, "Oh, I'm not good enough." When that's not the case at all. It's they just need to tweak it and try it again. I mean you're an entrepreneur, you know this. The only way you fail as an entrepreneur is when you stop. That's when you fail right there, is when you stop. Stephen Larsen: You know it's funny, two or three days ago Russell and I were at the office still, it was 1:30 in the morning, as men do. Alison Prince: Are you sleeping at the office too? I know Russell is. On a cot or something. Stephen Larsen: Not always by choice. Sometimes I just fall asleep there. We got this big cot there and a tent right now. It's funny. Alison Prince: You know, okay a little, another pitch. Seriously, I am so grateful for you guys. All of the information that you give makes my life so much easier, so thank you for not ever sleeping, just for Alison Prince. Stephen Larsen: Oh thank you very much. We have a lot of fun doing it. It's very, very fun. Alison Prince: That does not go unnoticed. I am seriously very, very grateful for everything you guys produce and put out there. Stephen Larsen: That's much appreciated, very much. We were talking a few days ago. He and I, for some reason, we both got on this big rant. We had been working super hard on these things, trying to relaunch and tweak and fix. Exactly what you're saying, what's the problem with this one? All right, let's go fix it. Just relaunch, relaunch. We both got on this topic, how did we both get started? He started going through his journey with me, and luckily we flipped the camera on, so it's going to be an episode here soon. It's really cool. He was walking through all the different products and all the sites and all the things that he had put out there. The ones that worked and the ones that didn't. I started doing the same thing, and it was really fun. He asked me, he was like, "When did it finally click for you?" I said, "It finally clicked for me when I realized that products and offers are not the same thing." For years, I had been selling products, and that's why I was failing, because I was the exact same as the other guy. When I created an offer out of it and I made it this awesome thing, and you get this and this, or you get this and an info product, or whatever it is. I started bundling and creating offers. That's honestly when it blew up for me. He said, "Yeah, for me what I've noticed is that it's the people who are obsessed with the marketing who always make the money. But the people who are obsessed with the money never make the money." It's totally about the marketing part of it and creating the offers. Anyway, I thought that was interesting you just said that. Alison Prince: It is. It is like, I call it the vision. How do you put together a product that's going to inspire people? On Pick Your Plum, it's a lot of like commodity, it's a product based site. I've never sold a product on Pick Your Plum. I sell the vision. One of my examples is, this is crazy, but when we first got started there wasn't a lot of money. I went out to my backyard. I found these blocks of wood. What I did is I decorated them with some stuff and made them cute, made them into ornaments for Christmas trees. Made them into block kits for kids, stuff like that. I sold the vision of what you could do with these blocks. Stephen, we ended up selling over $9000 in trash. Stephen Larsen: That's so cool. Alison Prince: Because we never sold the product, we sold the vision of what you could do with it. That's what you sell, right? You don't sell something. Stephen Larsen: You sell the hole, not the drill. Alison Prince: Yes, yes, that's exactly it. What can they do with it, that's what you sell, that's what converts. That's what people want. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. How many times do you buy something and you never end up using it? Russell, it was kind of fun, he came over for dinner last night over here. We were geeking out over my books and the bookshelves. That's what we do, it's geeky and it's fun. We're going through all these books and my wife walks up and she goes, "Are you ever actually going to read those?" I was like, "Yeah, of course I am." Yeah, whatever. Russell was like, "Yeah, we read the titles and get the gist." It's funny that so many of us are like that though. We look at these, we'll go buy stuff, whatever it is. Exercise equipment is a classic example. Treadmills are just another kind of coat hanger for most people. It's because they got sold on the vision and not the actual thing. It's powerful. Alison Prince: It is. Stephen Larsen: Now I wanted to ask another part here. You've talked about how you just ask them and you create the offer. How do you get a lot of your traffic? How have you figured out that aspect of it? I know that's a big challenge for some of the listeners. Alison Prince: Okay. Remember what we learned in like kindergarten, about how to share? Stephen Larsen: Barely. I kind of skipped that one. Just kidding. Alison Prince: It really goes back to like elementary school, you share. You reach out to a blogger. You reach out to another shop, and you figure out how you can collaborate. Because that shop's trying to grow too, and you find out how you can work together. It really, it's so simple and everybody makes it very, very complicated, but it doesn't need to be. Like in blog land, we always are sharing each other's posts. In the eCommerce world, we're going out there and we're saying, "Hey, let's do a giveaway together. You've got a product that compliments my product, let's do a giveaway together. We'll get your readers and my readers excited, pumped up about it, and we can throw traffic to each other." Then we go to, now I'm working with my course, my digital product, so now I'm going out there and I'm working with other people who have a complimentary product. Then we interview each other or we post each other's stuff. I'm helping them grow. They're helping me grow. Now when I do this, you have to do it with people with similar numbers. If I came up to like Russell and I'm like, "Hey Russell, post me on your Instagram page." Something like that, and I only have like 200 followers or something like that and he's got a gajillion, it's not going to work. It's got to be something where, if I've got 200 followers, I'm working with someone with around 200 to 500 followers. You do it in a way, it's more organic, or it's more like a friendship instead of go follow, I don't know, Cookies With Lacy or something like that. That just looks too spammy. If you can post a picture that says, "Hey look at these cookies that Lacy made. They are so great." Vice versa. It really is networking and getting to know each other in the social world. It really does work. That is the big secret to how we grew our Facebook page to two million, is we just worked together. We came up with, "Hey, let's share each other's posts." Then I've got some bloggers right now that are excited about sharing this course. There's a few things that I've been working on, tweaking on. Stephen, I'm still working on that. I launched it in March, this course, and I've been tweaking it, testing it and perfecting it. Then I'm excited, I just got back from Thailand, to be able to start pushing it harder and harder and harder. I've actually got a webinar this morning and I'm really excited about it. Stephen Larsen: Oh cool. Alison Prince: I guess it's not a webinar anymore, we call them master classes, because nobody wants to go on a webinar. Stephen Larsen: Marketers. Alison Prince: Yeah. I've got a secret master class coming up today. I'm constantly tweaking that offer. How can I serve my people more? How can I get them more information? How can I help them become more successful? They see it. Then other people see it and then people start talking about it. It really goes back to what you learned in elementary, and it's to share. It really is so simple. Stephen Larsen: That's so interesting too, that you say it that way. Because I know one of the pieces of advice Russell and I give is, some people will be like, "Okay, I've got this sweet offer but I have no money for ads." A situation that we've probably all been in before. "I've got no money for ads. I've got no following. I'm literally brand new, there's still green on my ears." We always tell them to do something that sound ludicrous but is very strategic, which is just to go find somebody who has a following who would want the product, and just give it to them. Don't even try and get any profit from it. What you end up getting out of it though is a list, because you just send them out there and you end up getting all these people who opt in. Now you have another asset, there's a piece of value there. You go to the next guy and you say, "Hey, I got this list, you got this list, you want to do a little cross promotion?" Just like you just said. Now your list grows and you've got a little money. You go to the next person and do it again. By the time you've done it and flipped it six or seven times, you're rich. It's exactly like you're talking. Alison Prince: Yeah. You are going to get told no, and I think a lot of people are scared by the word no. Who cares if you get told no, just go find another person. You don't want to work with them anyways, if they're ... Stephen Larsen: It's going to happen. Alison Prince: It is. If you're prepared to get one yes out of ten, then you're a rock star and you will feel good when you get that yes. Don't think that everybody's going to say yes. You're going to get told no, it's not a big deal, just move on to the next one. Move on to the next one. I mean if it was easy, if we were just to flip on a light switch and become a millionaire, everybody would be and then money wouldn't have any value. We actually have to go out, do the work, build those relationships. Spoil those people and be treated how we would want to be treated. I know when I get a product in the door, a package, I'm like, "Woo hoo, this is the best thing ever." Stephen Larsen: I loved yours, by the way. Thank you. Alison Prince: Good. I'm glad you got it. That's the same thing. People want to be loved and want to be spoiled. Just treat them how you want to be treated. It's back to kindergarten. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. I have one other area I just wanted to ask you about real quick. That is, okay you've got a guy over here who's saying drop shipping is the thing. Another person over here saying, "Do all fulfillment but only high ticket." This person says ... There's a lot of areas and a lot of facets of the eCommerce world, and you're obviously an expert in it. I just wanted to ask why you picked self-fulfillment, and low ticket, high volume? That's mostly where you've been, right? Alison Prince: Yeah. The In-N-out Burger approach. Where we can sell thousands and thousands of a product at a low price and make good money. The reason why, a couple things. When I first started, I didn't have money to get a huge warehouse. I didn't have money to have someone fulfill my products. It's expensive to have someone fulfill. The margins weren't there, and I knew a lot of people that needed jobs. I started, the very first one was in the garage, and I had people come over to the garage and help me fulfill out of the garage, because you do what you need to, to start growing your business. Then we got a little tiny warehouse, I think it was about 1200 square feet. Which I'll tell you what, scared the hejeebies out of me to sign that contract. Stephen Larsen: I bet. Alison Prince: When you're uncomfortable, I don't know, if we stay comfortable ... Stephen Larsen: Stuff happens. Alison Prince: Yeah. Don't stay comfortable... You've got to get uncomfortable to be able to have results. Then I just found joy in writing people checks that I knew, that I grew to love, that I grew to find. Then there was more margins in it. We got to do a lot more fun things as a company. In my course I do teach self-fulfilling has higher margins, and there are great ways to do it, but I do give options about having other people fulfill for you. The reason why I give both options is because I've been gone a lot, and I've been traveling. I want to be with my family. I don't want to stay up till two o'clock in the morning shipping products. That just, to me, is not fun. There's other options that I give to help you, because the entrepreneur should not be shipping. They should not ever ship one product. Well maybe one, to see how the process goes, but they should not be shipping the product. I do give options. I do talk about ways to be able to get that off your plate, and how to hire it out. How to hire another company to do it when you're ready. Things like that, just so you can truly focus on what you're good at. Finding the product, marketing, getting sales, getting out there, branding your product, growing your business. Not necessarily shipping, because that's, I don't know. Some people love shipping. I'm not a fan of shipping. Stephen Larsen: No, and it's funny to hear you say that, with the amount of stuff that you ship. Alison Prince: Yeah, no. I had my fair share of shipping. Oh man. Find help. Do not do it yourself. Find help. I teach that a lot in my course, you do what you're good at. You have, tell me which one it is, you have a podcast that talks exactly about that. When you guys are at ... See I stalk you Stephen, I really like what you have to say. When you're at IHOP and you were asking Russell like how he can get so much stuff done. He just hires it out because he's like, "I don't know how to do it." Which podcast is that, do you remember? Stephen Larsen: I don't remember. You know, it's funny, I usually, I just know that there's something cool that I want to share and then I come up with a title later. Alison Prince: Oh. It was probably about a month ago, because I listened to it. It was probably about a month, month and a half ago, but it was really, really good on focusing on what you're good at. Everything else, hire it out, get it off our plate. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, he told me once, he's like, "Stephen, I realized that I am a starter, and you are a finisher, that's why you're here." It's so true. That's how it happens, he starts and I finish. We're a cool team like that. It's very true, you've got to know which one you are though, hire out the other. Alison Prince: Agreed. Absolutely. Stephen Larsen: That's so cool. Alison, I know we've been going for a little bit... I just want to thank you for, I mean for anyone who's listening to this, I'm going to put so much stinking ad money behind this because I want everyone to hear your story and your voice and everything that you do. I am such a huge fan of Alison Prince and all the things that you do. It sounds like we stalk each other. You're just one of those people out there who's living and loving living. You set up what you do in a way so that you can love it. There's a lot of trial and error that comes with that in order to have it be that way. Anyway, it's just a massive example. Where can people find out more about you? Alison Prince: Facebook page, I just started the Because I Can Clan about three months ago. You can find me on Facebook over there. I do have a personal Instagram account AlisonJPrince, which I will start converting over into more of the business side soon. I really like about the journey, talking about the journey, how we're doing it. You're going to see how I start doing that, and I'm sharing my story. Like right now, on the Because I Can Clan, I've been doing a Facebook Live. I did a Facebook Live every single day except for two days in Cambodia when I didn't have internet. Stephen Larsen: Wow, what's your excuse? Just kidding. Alison Prince: Oh Verizon and Cambodia do not get along. Stephen Larson: That's funny. Alison Prince: I even called them and they're like, "Yeah, no. We just don't work with Cambodia." I'm like, "Wait, what? You realize what year it is." They said, "Yeah, there's just a lot of stuff." I'm like, okay, I don't wan to get into it. There was a couple days that we couldn't do it in Cambodia. I did, I related our experiences of scorpions and elephants and crazy stuff that we ran into and how that related to business. I did a Facebook Live. We're on day 19 today. I did it and I'm jotting down how fast that page is growing. In 17 days it had grown over 1000 followers, which I was pretty excited about. Then the next half the month I'm going to be doing that and then adding more. I'm documenting my journey. I'll do it on the Facebook page, and then I've got a closed group, Because I Can Clan group. Then I'm sharing with people over there what I'm doing, so they can watch what I'm doing. What you guys do, watch the master's hands. We go out there, we test it. We tell people what we're doing and what works and what doesn't work. Then they go out there and then they replicate it. Anyways, long story short, Because I Can Clan on Facebook, or my Instagram page. Then if they want to sign up for the course, that's 0-100k.com. You can find out all the information on the course. How people can make this a reality, if they want to get their kids going on it. Like my girls, they have their college education ready to go. They've got their savings accounts set up. They actually set up Roth IRAs this year. My eight and nine year old little boy, they have Roth IRAs right now. Stephen Larsen: I don't even have that. That's awesome. Alison Prince: It's a gift that we can give them as parents to be able to set them up financially when they hit certain ages. You've got to think through the process of, no, they're not going to be able to get all that money when they're 18 and go crazy with it. We've set up milestones so they can get it when they're this age or this age or this age. They have something, and they're eight and nine years old right now. Imagine what it's going to be like when they retire. Anyways, I talk about that kind of stuff because it's life changing. Stephen Larsen: It is. Alison Prince: I want others to be able to do it too, because it's not hard. You just have to listen to people. I think that's the biggest thing. Listen and do. You have to be a doer. You have to make things happen. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, and you can't be so afraid of appearing imperfect. I think that's the biggest killer. Alison Prince: Yeah. Stephen Larsen: I know it's one of the biggest killers, in my opinion, of entrepreneurs. Actually being vulnerable with your marketing, and getting out and sharing stories. Sharing the successes, but even more importantly the failures, if you are afraid of appearing imperfect. I always bring this up and people are always sick of me saying it. Again, when you start down the entrepreneurial path, like your imperfections explode in your face and you can't move on till you fix them. Anyway, it's awesome to have a person like you who's walked down the path. You know what it's like and you've been very successful. It's really cool to see. You're not afraid of messing up or being imperfect, or hey that test didn't work, and being public about it. That's a huge key. Alison Prince: You want to hear something funny? Stephen Larsen: Yes I do. Alison Prince: When I did my course, I set a date. Stephen, I set that date way too early but I wanted to push myself. I had stayed up for probably two weeks solid, just trying to get it done. I bought Liz Benny's course on the whole, how to set up everything for a course. Which Liz Benny, props to her, she is an amazing, amazing woman, a very wonderful teacher. When I did, oh my gosh, talk about a hot mess. When I did the course, I did the master class, it went well. I had people buying the course after. I had linked them to Liz Benny's course. People would buy the course and then they'd say, "Alison, how come I see a lady that's like talking about monkeys?" Which is her course, Social Media Monkey. I'm like, "Oh my gosh I forgot to change her link out." Then it gets even better. Then the payment plan, I didn't know that Stripe, when you do a payment plan it automatically sets it to a free 30 day trial, so I had given everybody my course for free that signed up for the payment plan. I'm like, oh my gosh. Then it gets even better, because why not, right? I put a huge type, like ginormously huge typo in the guarantee. I said, "100% money back guarantee if you are happy with the course." Stephen Larsen: Usually we don't care about typos that much, that's kind of a big one though. Alison Prince: That's a huge, huge typo. I am the perfect example of just do it. I ended up selling over, I think it was 26 courses my very first launch, and it was a complete hot mess. Stephen Larsen: I remember that. You did it, you crushed it. You just did it. Alison Prince: I just did it. You go out there knowing you're going to make mistakes. You tell people, say, "You guys, the tech's probably going to be screwed up because this is my first time, but the information that I have is valuable." It was. I was confident in what the offer was. I was not confident on the technology. They were patient with me and they were like, "It's okay. It's okay." I was able to get Liz Benny's course off there and direct them to my course. Get the payments fixed. Change the guarantee. I didn't have one person ask for their money back, because of what I was giving them. Because they were so excited about the offer, that they were fine with the mistakes. I think that we don't give ourselves enough credit, and we're too scared. Don't be scared. People are there to help you because they want to be helped too. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, they're all making it up. Alison Prince: Just do it. Yup. Mistakes and all Stephen. Everybody listening, who cares, just go do it. People need you. They need your information. They need your product, so just get out there and do it with mistakes and all. Stephen Larson: Yeah.

I've been looking forward to this interview for a long time. Guys I want to introduce to you Jaime Smith. He's done amazing things with the ClickFunnels community. Jaime thanks so much for joining. I want to talk a little bit about how you got your start. All the cool things you've done. First of all I want you to know, actually Russell and I were talking about you because you've done so many things for the ClickFunnels community. You remember that video, you may not, but I put a video out and I was like hey Russell and I we're looking for some help for some poor things and things like that and you reached out. We were going through this list of people. Over and over and over again I was like, Jaime's the man. Jaime would be the man, Jaime would be the man. The only reason why, I don't know ... He's so good. I think he'll get bored. Jaime: Ah. Well thanks man I appreciate that. I appreciate that, yeah. Steve: Yeah and Russell's saying, hey he's done so much for the ClickFunnels community himself. It's not like we're asking you to, it's not like we've done anything to do extra promotion for you or anything. It's like everyday I see a new thing that you've done for the ClickFunnels community, for all of us non coders and it just blows our minds. It's like black magic to me man. I have no idea how you do what you do. Jaime: Yeah well lots of years of kind of doing some intense stuff. Honestly my background is as a senior web app developer. I've been working since 2000. Started out, my first project was actually an enterprise level project with Eli Lilly. I've always been the cowboy coder writing enterprise level applications. Always web based. I've done desktop software and stuff like that but that's not as much fun for me. After doing enough of those things you learn how the back ends work. I'm able to take some of that experience and see how the front end works, and get into the ClickFunnels admin area and see okay, I can kind of tell from the URLs and the functions that are available how the backend pieces are pulled together. That allows me to say, okay well if the backend works this way, then if I add this to the front end, then the backend should support it. Just having that visibility into both sides of how things work makes it easy for me to go in and know that if I can customize the front end a little bit it'll work with the backend. Also just being able to inspect the code that's being spit out by the ClickFunnels tools on the front end, and add some java script into them that just adds a little functionality or a little style or whatever. It just kinda comes easy so I figure, hey if I can throw some of that stuff out and help people out then that's, I would love somebody to be able to come in and help with all the things that I am not the greatest at. Steve: Yeah. I cannot even imagine what those topics could be because I mean, you've been in the ClickFunnels community for a long time and I have also. I got in right after beta. I was building stuff and it was fantastic, my buddy and I are making money together. All of a sudden I started seeing, whose Jaime Smith? You keep putting things like, hey anyone want some cool CSS that's going to make, yada yada yada. I was like, holy crap I don't know how to do that. Yeah. Then like the next day it'd be like, hey someone else want some java script I wrote that's going to make you're whole funnel act like an e-commerce store. I was like, what? Oh my gosh. It was like over, and over, and over again. I got to tell you, that's one of my biggest regrets. I went to college for, I finished with a marketing degree but before that I was actually a CIT computer degree. I remember I went through one semester, I was sitting in one of my coding classes. Maybe it was the teacher, but I cannot blame it on that with a clear conscience. I don't know what it was but sitting and coding, I remember getting out of there and going, I'm never going to sit in front of a computer all day. Jaime: Yeah, and now you're doing it. Steve: It's the one thing that I wish I had learned, was how to actually program. My dad was an executive at IBM. He and I, we ran like a 120 port network inside of our house that we built together, running through the walls. We did so much stuff together and it was awesome. I just have never learned the guts of it. I'm totally jealous of your skills man, it's fantastic. Jaime: Yeah, well. Yeah it's a blessing and a curse sometimes because I see some of these questions come up like, hey can I do this? Then it's like that itch that you just have to scratch. Okay I'm not going to rest until I figure out how to do this thing. It's a lot of fun. I think, my background's kind of weird. I don't know what it is. I feel, I was talking with somebody actually I was just out in Boise here last week for an event there with Russell. The Ignite Inner Circle Program. That was great. While I was there I was talking to somebody and just talking about my background. I just felt like, what I said was I feel like my biggest blessing, and I hate to say my genius because I'm not trying to brag by any stretch of the imagination- Steve: Go for it. We'd love to hear it. Jaime: I feel like my biggest area of genius is my ability to extrapolate and apply a concept I've learned in one area to a completely different area. I started when I was young doing mechanical stuff. My family actually owned a hardware store and my dad did a lot of installations, hot water heaters, central air units, and stuff like that. 10 years old I'm installing furnaces, and air conditioning units, and hot water heaters, and running electricity, and doing all this mechanical stuff. Not really any training it was just, hey your dad needs a hand so I'll just watch what he does, he'll tell me what to do, and I'll go do it. I kind of took that and then when I graduated high school I actually went into the army and I was a helicopter mechanic for 4 years. I was able to take some of those mechanical skills and apply it and look at the engineering of things. I always felt like I could tear stuff down and reverse engineer how it worked. Then I've been able to take some of that reverse engineering skill and apply it to technology. That's what programming has been for me. Honestly I've only had a few actual college level classes in programming. Most everything is all self taught. Steve: You're kidding me? Jaime: No. Steve: Oh my gosh. Jaime: Over 16 years of reverse engineering other stuff that's already working or going in and saying, it's always kind of been on the job. Hey, you need to learn this. Okay great let me go get a reference manual and I'll figure it out. I've just been really blessed to be thrown into just a bunch of different projects in different languages, and different platforms, and used in different frameworks and technologies. Being able to say okay, these things all kind of have similar ways of doing things. If I can take the concept from one and apply it into another then it's going to get me to a solution that much faster- Steve: So, I'm sorry about that. Jaime: Oh no. That's what I've been able to do with ClickFunnels is be able to say, okay I know I can take the concepts I've learned from the backend programming and from the front end programming, I can combine them with this online marketing which I've also been a student of for the last going on 12 years now. Just come up with these creative solutions to these problems that people are having, and problems that I'm having. Steve: It's interesting because I was thinking about that. If you can step back and look at abstractly what you're doing with the funnel. I mean that's got to tie directly into what you did growing up. Jaime: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. I've been extremely blessed to have some fantastic opportunities to get experience that a lot of people just don't get. Sometimes I have to remind myself, or I have people tell me this, that because I see what I do as just really easy, but then I'm like anybody could do it. In fact I've said that many, many times, I could train a monkey to do what I do. It's not that hard, it's just once you know the concept it really is pretty easy. It's just for me I've been exposed. I don't feel like I've got any special genius or any special intelligence ability that other people don't have. It's just I've had the great opportunity to be exposed to experiences where I've had to make a project work. It's just experiences that the majority of people don't get an opportunity for. I feel truly blessed to be able to do what I do. Steve: Well I think it's fantastic. For those of you who are listening and don't know, what Jaime does is he'll look at what everyone's doing in ClickFunnels and watch the community and the Facebook page, see where people who don't know how to code are running into these walls. He'll just come out there and, hey here's a free tool that I just built, or drop this piece of code in and now ClickFunnels totally changes. I mean it's amazing. It's incredible what you do. Jaime: Thanks man, thanks. Steve: I mean you're obviously working on CF Pro Tools. I'd love to hear a little bit more about that. I also want to ask, before we get into that, I don't know. It's a little weird to bring this up. Tell us about your failures you know. I want to know a little bit more, behind every success story there's always like this struggle I feel like. In marketing we tend to take whatever the best case study that we were able to get and market that only. Or whatever the best results are and market that only. The other 90% are like pure crap or it's just this massive, massive struggle. I was just wondering if you could tell us a little bit about, she the struggle that produces CF Pro Tools. What led you to get there? Jaime: Sure. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. There's plenty of meat there to chew on. Steve: Sure, there always is. Anytime anyone talks, oh yeah there's lots of that. Jaime: Oh yeah. Yeah. Like I said I've really been studying online marketing for the last 12 years of so. Really I've had this passion for hey, I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I guess that's the thing. I never wanted to be the guy that just had a job and just worked my job and just did my thing. Now every once in a while I look back and say, man I worked in a factory building cars for a while. That was kind of mind numbingly nice. It's like hard work, but every once in a while I'd like to go back and just feel like okay I can just do my job and go home and not have to worry about anything afterwards. Steve: Turn the brain off, yeah. Jaime: Yeah switch off and not be constantly on the clock. Then I remember that no, I hated that gig too. It seems like I always do that in the spring time. Be like, oh it'd be awesome to have an outside job putting on roofs or something like that. Then come August in Indiana when it's 95 and 100% humidity I'm like oh yeah now I remember why I don't do that. I wouldn't last very long. Yeah. I've been studying online marketing for a lot of years. Really felt like okay this is my opportunity this is where I can actually make some thing happen and really take a business, I always thought with minimal effort and the right scale I can just make this huge business and live that internet dream, laptop beach lifestyle. It's 12 years later and I'm still not on the beach, and I'm still not working at my laptop. Yeah. I started, and honestly I've looked at so many things, and I'll say probably the biggest failure I've had in, and a lot of people talk about this but it's so easy to get sucked into, is the shiny object syndrome. That's biggest struggle. I'm finally learning after 12 years of doing this that that's been my biggest downfall, is constantly being attracted and constantly jumping ship and moving to the next thing. I've done pretty much everything you can think of in internet marketing, I've tried it. Starting out with running niche ad sense sites and building those up. I had a little bit of success there. I made a few hundred bucks here and there on different sites. Okay that's great. Then you run into a little struggle and you're like oh that doesn't work and you just dump it, you move onto the next thing. In the process of doing that I actually built out, again using my technology background and as a developer I actually built a product around taking PLR content that I was getting in a monthly membership where you'd get 1,000 articles a month or whatever in different niches for free. Go and build your website around these, throw ad sense on it, you'll make money. Great. I did that and I thought okay, I'm going through and doing this and there's got to be a quicker, better way to build out a network of sites. I figured out a way to take word press, and this is back like word press 2 days, to use word press what was called multi user or word press MU, and use that to build a network of these niche sites, just on different sub domains. I figured out how to do that and I actually was in a community similar to the Facebook group, specific to this product, had about 1,000 members or so. Kind of the same thing I've been able to do with CF Pro Tools, just jump into the community, help out as much as I can, show people what I'm doing and how to use the technology to build these sites up more quickly, and actually build a training program. Like 28 videos on how to use word press, and how to use the network, and how to drive traffic, and how to do all this stuff. Put that together and just poured a ton of time into it. That was probably my first little success where I sold like $1,700 worth of this course. I'm like okay awesome, this is going. Then word press came out and changed their version. I'm like I do not want to go back and re-record 28 videos. Steve: 28 videos, yeah. Jaime: It was like 6 hours worth of video training. That's immense, I'm like no. I'm not going to keep up with this. I just kind of dumped it, moved onto the next thing. I probably could have been successful with that if I would have stuck with it. It got hard, there's surely some other shiny object that's easier to do over here, and jumped ship. I just did that repeatedly for the last 10-12 years. Have learned the hard lesson that that just doesn't work. Anyone of the things that you pick you can be successful at online. There's very few things that if you don't ... There's been plenty of plans laid out that will work if you apply the right leverage. I think you just have to pick one and go with it. For me the latest has bee CF Pro Tools and jumping into a community where we've got, what 20,000 plus active members now inside the ClickFunnels Facebook group. We've got ClickFunnels users I think, I heard recently is right around 20,000 active users of ClickFunnels right now. Steve: Yep. Jaime: It's a huge community, so it's a huge opportunity and that's great. That's where my focus has been. I actually enjoy it. I posted on the group not too long ago that ClickFunnels makes what I do easy, the community makes it fun. I do enjoy it. Steve: Yeah. I completely agree with that. I want to go back just real quick to something you mentioned. You just touched on it, and I'm learning this lesson, I don't know I fee like any of us who do anything entrepreneurial we all have learned this less every 6 months. It comes in a wave. The shiny object syndrome. It's huge. What's funny is in college I 100% had shiny object syndrome but I kept telling my wife, no, no I'm just at an age of exploration. I'm going around all over the place like, yeah I'm doing real estate here, writing e-books there, door to door sales here, I was all over the place. It was good for learning, but after a while you have got to drop an anchor and you have to learn to say no. I'm laughing that you brought this up because like 3 days ago I was Voxing Russell and I was like hey man, someone approached and they're like hey got this cool thing, wondering if you want to jump in on it in your free time. Which is kind of a joke. Russell's like, you know what man as a friend, stop. You have so many cool things going on already. He's like don't, just as a friend you cannot say no anymore. By the way, he's like if you have time to focus on 2 things it means you're probably not doing enough in number 1. You know what I mean? Jaime: Right. Steve: I thought that was fantastic that he said that. I have not really ever had success in something until I became a mono maniac. You really have to obsess over it. It's the only thing you think about. All your time is put towards it. You don't go home and just like veg out on the couch. After a couple months then something will blow up. Anyways. I thought that was really key and wanted to just point that out. I remember when Russell said that I laid on my bed like for a long time. Just was like, man he just defined the last 4 years of my life. Why was I so close to it, I couldn't see it. It's so obvious when you hear it but you look at it you're like man, what can I simplify and cut it. That's usually not the mentality everyone's taking on. It's more of a, what can I be a beast at and take on more, and more, and more. It's actually very much the opposite of how you do things. Jaime: Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah. You know when somebody starts a conversation with, hey, as a friend. You know that's probably not going to be what you want to hear sometimes. Steve: No, no, no. Jaime: That's what you got to like about guys like Russell that can jump in and tell you what you really need to hear, whether it's what you want to hear or not. That's awesome. It's great advice as well. Yeah. Steve: Do you mind bringing us to a little bit of CF Pro Tools? Jaime: Sure. Steve: I'd like to, feel free to go through it. I was wondering also, I probably should have asked you this before but, I mean everyone here obviously we like to hear the numbers. If you wouldn't mind a few things on that or take us through your funnel and kind of how it works. Jaime: Sure. Steve: If that's all right with you. Jaime: Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah it really started out, CF Pro Tools was just, as a I thought through, you know I built out a couple of these custom java scripts. The first one somebody had asked for was the ability to add a checkbox directly onto the buy button. Normally we see this check boxes to say hey I agree to the terms and conditions. What somebody was saying was hey, I added this to my page and it's kind of cutting down on my conversion rate. I'd really like to be able to put this checkbox directly on the buy button, that way they're at least looking at the buy button when they have to check it. Maybe that will help with conversions. Maybe it will be a way to fill the bill of requirement for, you know some processors require that hey if you're going to sign somebody up for a trial subscription you need to have somewhere on the page that identifies that they agree that they're signing up for a trial subscription and they're going to be charged again in 30 days. That really was where the need came from. I thought you know [inaudible 00:19:48] they posted in the Facebook group and said, hey is it possible to do this? I just posted back and said hey it's not possible to do it out of the box but I can certainly add some java script that adds a check box to your button. I dug in the easiest way to do that and make it still flexible with the ClickFunnels editor. You can still edit the button text, you can still edit the subtext which is actually what I used for the checkbox agreement. Basically I just said hey we've got this subtext, I can just pre-pen a checkbox to that event. Or to that text. Then you've got a check box. It's like okay cool that works. It just kind of started there. Then a couple of other things come along. I'm like okay now I've got 2 or 3 of these things. To me, if you've ever used AWeber, and you've heard of Jack Born there's AW pro tools which is AWeber pro tools. I thought you know hey, I kind of like that name. I like the product. I've used AWeber and AW pro tools for a long time. I thought you know that's kind of what I'm working on here, is little pieces that I can add to ClickFunnels that don't come out of the box. When I'm registered, CF Pro Tools. I thought well I'll just throw them in a free membership area and give people access. That way I can kind of keep up to date, add new scripts, I can send out emails, and do all that. Now it's a library of 16 different scripts that are in there for free. I've had over the, well I think I was actually just recording a video early this morning, I think I registered my own account in that membership area March 13th. Just prior to funnel hacking live at the end of March this year. I threw it all together and since then I've had a ton of people say, dude why aren't you charging for this? How much can I pay you for this? All kinds of other things. It was just like, no it's always been my goal, I've heard many, many times. I always attribute this to Frank Kern is probably the person that sticks out the most in my mind as saying, "If you want to help somebody you need to show them how you can help them by actually helping them." I take that as kind of, lead with value. Which complete side note, I was able to register the domain name a couple of days ago, leadwithvalue.com. I thought okay that's what I try and live by. Lead with value, show somebody that I can help them by actually helping them. I thought the best way to do that was to get in front of the community. The best way to get in front of the community is by actually helping them do things. The best way I can do that is just throw some stuff out for free and say, hey I'm going to throw this value out there and there's no strings attached. Just jump in and grab it. It's been hugely successful for me. I always feel like if you go into something and you provide value without any expectation of return, that value is actually going to return to you probably 10 times more than you put into it. Steve: 100%. Jaime: Yeah. That's truly been how this has gone for me. It's been great. After doing this for quite a few months now, just providing as much value as I can. I've finally come up with a few scripts like wow this really is like a major game changer. After building up a pretty good sized library I felt like okay now I actually want to make something work with this, make something happen. I've had enough people say hey I want to pay you, I want to pay you, I want to pay you for this. I fell like you've given me all this value I need to pay you. Please make something available to us as a paid product. I thought well I'll just add on a section to my membership that is a VIP club. Basically where I throw these kind of high value scripts in there. People can sign up and I'll just throw monthly scripts of these high value nature into this membership and let people join in. I rolled out the CF Pro Tools VIP club. Through, the first script I threw in there was my CF cart mode script which basically takes ClickFunnels which as you know out of the box, the order form just supports adding 1 product at a time to your order. You can have 3-4 products listed on your order form, but you have a radio button so you can only select 1 of those products to purchase. I thought well hey again looking at the structure of the code on the front end and seeing that hey I notice how some of these variables are named, and just from my experience on the backend I know that okay if it's named this way it probably means we can send multiple values into it. Steve: At the same time, yeah. Jaime: At the same time. I determined that hey I could probably send multiple products into the cart and have them process the order just fine. I tweaked the front end a little bit to change those radio buttons to check boxes. That was the first iteration. I tested my order and hey, guess what it all worked. I was able to send in multiple products to the cart and have them process in a single order, as a single transaction in ClickFunnel. I was like, awesome. Then I had people ask hey is there any way that I can have a quantity selector? I thought, hmm. I wonder if I could combine the 2. I made the CF cart mode which is the combination of, it works probably best for say you're selling t-shirts. You have 4 different sizes, small, medium, large, extra large, and you want people to be able to order more than 1 at a time. The cart mode gives you the ability to have a drop down selector for quantity. The ability to add each of the products individually. You could say, hey I want 2 smalls, 3 larges, and 4 mediums and ClickFunnels will process that on the back end all perfectly. It adds up totals, sends everything across to your payment processor as your total amount and then your order confirmation page shows each of the shirts that were ordered. It works pretty awesome. Steve: I'm blown away that, I mean I have an account with CF Pro Tools. I logged in there and I just could not believe all the stuff that was in there. When you look at what, you know ClickFunnels is what people want as far as like the structure and the ease and stuff like that. Then there's all these little tweaks and features, and customizations people need based on what their business is, or what industry they're in. Yours is like, it's the other side of that man. It's like if you've got CF Pro Tools and you've got ClickFunnels, there's is literally no other product on the planet that is like it. It's pretty amazing. I like that you said that though about the bait. You decided for a long time to give tremendous value up front for free for a long time. I kind of came to that realization, I don't know it was like 6 months ago also. It was like man, everyone wants me to build these funnels constantly. It's like the thing that everyone asks me to do. I was like, well I may as well toss all the ones that I've built and make them free and put them in a site. That's what salesfunnelbroker.com is. You go in there and you can download the entire website, salesfunnelbroker.com just for free. The amount of doors that's opened up is amazing. It's counterintuitive because people are like, whoa I don't know man. I could charge 5 grand for that easily, and it's true. It's like ugh. That's kind of the realization I've had recently. What people would normally pay for, go ahead and make that free and you become this rock star in their life and [inaudible 00:27:27] like crazy. I'll get all these personal messages. I'm sure that you get them too, like man thanks so much, this is helping me, I've sold more because of this, or whatever it is. Anyways. I'm just saying I completely agree with that. That's fantastic. At what point did you decide to start charging for all of that? Jaime: Yeah that really was just in the last few weeks that I opened up the doors on the VIP club. Really what it came down to is okay, I'm still working I hate to say a full time job but I had kind of committed to a 25 hour a week job. That was, you know it's what I've always done so it's what I knew. It's always kind of that foundation, that safety net but I thought, this is only going to get me so far. I really need to ramp up and scale up my income potential. People are asking for this, let me just throw it out there and see what works. Finally I just flipped a switch in my head and said okay I need to make something out there. I just need to do it. This is the other one of my big failures, and that has been perfection. Always worrying about, well I'm not quite ready to put it out yet because it's not perfect. I really need to perfect my message, my sales letter, my report, my whatever. I'm working on a book here and I need to make sure it's perfect before I can roll it out. One motto that I keep reinforcing in myself and I try and share with everybody that I see having the same problem is, in my opinion perfection is the enemy of progress. Steve: Love it. Jaime: When I'm trying to make things perfect it keeps me from actually putting anything out there that could be successful. I really just, I had written several of these scripts, I had tested several things. CF cart mode was one of them that I built and I tested for myself. I thought okay it's not quite 1,000% ready so I'm just going to hold on to it. I thought, you know what, no. I'm just going to throw it out there. I'm going to put a separate section of my membership up and I'm going to put a sales page up and I'm going to put a buy button on it and I'm going to let people go and buy it. With my goal, within a 24 hour period to go from concept to completion. I did that and I turned on, flipped the switch, and 5 days later I was 5 figures. I was like okay. Now we're onto something. Yeah it was very cool. Very cool. Steve: That. Do you mind sharing with us the funnel a little bit? Or at least the way you bring people through? I mean I've been through it it's fantastic but, squeeze page, order form, whatever. Jaime: Sure. Sure. Absolutely, yeah. Really the first iteration was just to kind of capture the traffic that I already had. I had about 700 members inside the free version of CF Pro Tools. My thought was okay I just need to get in front of those people that already know and love me. I hate to say that in a boastful way but- Steve: It's true though, you're a brand, it's fantastic. Jaime: Yeah. I just kind of want to get in front of those people that are already hot prospects, that already know who I am and already know the value of the scripts. It's a pretty simple process. It's just a video that says, hey I'm Jaime I'm with CF Pro Tools. I'm the creator, this is what I've got for you. I've got a membership area where I'm going to be throwing these high value scripts in a monthly basis. I'm also going to be doing monthly share funnels. I'm also going to be doing some video training. If you want to jump in there's a monthly membership or there's a yearly membership. The funnel is basically that. You're signing up to either pay by the month or pay by the year. I kind of really just throw some spaghetti at the wall as far as price. I put a normal price, in my mind I thought o normal price should be around 67 bucks a month. Then my thought on the yearly price actually came from a guy name Rory Mcnally I did a mastermind session with Trey Lowell and Harold a while back and Rory was there. He shared just this absolutely golden nugget that I will share with you. I give 1,000% credit to Rory because this is just brilliant. He said, in fact he won the prize. Trey did a little contest and there were 16 people or so in the room. Everybody got to give their number 1 tip. The prize was one of those new 360 degree cameras. Steve: Oh sweet. Jaime: Just see people doing all these videos. It's like a $500 camera. He said okay the person gets the number 1 tip gets this $500 camera. Rory won that and his tip was this, if you've got a membership area and you can figure out what your average stick rate is. Say your average stick rate is 4 months. People come in, they sign up, they stay for 4 months in your membership and then they bail. Then really what you want to do is offer a yearly plan at just 1 month more than what their monthly was cost wise. Steve: Oh man. Jaime: You just got an extra month of income out of them that you weren't going to get if you just kept charging monthly and to them when they sign up that seems like a huge bargain. You're getting all the money up front that you can now turn around and reinvest in even more advertising to drive even more traffic to that great deal. It's just the quickest way to scale your business dramatically. I thought, that is absolutely brilliant. Steve: That is brilliant. Jaime: Of course I'm just starting this so I have no idea what my average stick rate is but I thought you know what, I'm going to go on the 4 month premise. I'll just say okay if people were to stick for 4 months then lets charge 5. I just did a hey get 12 months for the price of 5 on my yearly plan. I basically wanted to do right around a 50% discount for the launch. For those people who have been around I want to give them the most value and the most love I can by being huge promoters and supporters of CF Pro Tools. I went with at $37 a month initial price that will go up probably around the first of September. Then $197 which is roughly 5 times the monthly to sign up for the year. I just put it all on a single order form, here's you're 2 payment options. I got a couple of buttons, I actually modeled the funnel university- Steve: Oh sweet. Jaime: The funnel [inaudible 00:33:43] .com funnel. That's what I used there. It worked perfectly. I threw that out there and right away had people start signing up, which was great. The one thing is that I did figure out is that, and I actually have changed the price now a little bit for the yearly plan, was because I was getting everybody into the 197 a year. Which was great to come up with a big launch, but as you're running a membership you kind of want to have a little monthly recurring, right? Steve: Yeah you want the continuity there, yeah. Jaime: Exactly. I thought I'm not getting any continuity here. I literally had like 95% of my sales were for the 197 for the year. I thought, well I've got to be able to support admin stuff in each month so I probably ought to make it a little less enticing to go with the yearly. I bumped that price up to 247. That's kind of balanced things out a little bit more. Whereas I'm getting new sign ups no, I'm getting a little better mix of the monthly versus the yearly. Steve: Man that's amazing. Okay. That's fantastic. I've been thinking of that, we have this thing above the door. Actually I can basically see it right now. The ready, fire, aim you know? Jaime: Yeah. Steve: I think that's so cool. You've just done that. You just put it out there, see what happens, and then tweak as you go. People get so stuck doing the other way around, just waiting, and waiting, waiting. Jaime: Yeah. That's huge. I need to get one of those and put it above my door, above my desk as I'm looking at the wall each day with the computer and everything. Yeah. It makes such a huge difference. I mean you're going to get a result. Tony Robbins talks about this, and I've learned over the years that there are no mistakes. There are no failures. There's only results. That result may not be what you want, but it's giving you a result. It's a lesson you can learn from it. Throw it out there and see what you're result is. You just have to have that sensory acuity, to use one of Tony Robbins' words, that sensory acuity to know is this a result I was looking for? If not, what kind of difference can I take out of this that I can make a tweak and maybe move in the right direction. A little 2 degree changes, expand it out and make a huge difference. Just making little shifts, and make little changes, and keep at it. Eventually you'll find the success you just have to get started. Yeah. It's been very cool and I back into that, just to jump back into the funnel a little bit. I did [inaudible 00:36:05] I got the VIP club. Which a lot of people have been signing up for, I was converting about 10%. Which is really what I was looking for. My goal was to get 10% of my existing free members signed up into the paid membership. That's about where we ended up at. I fell like, okay I hit that target. Really that's just a number that I pulled out that I said I feel like I'll bee successful if I could get 10% of people that took something for free to actually pay for a little bit more. Steve: Now are you currently driving traffic as well? Are you buying adds for this? Jaime: I am not. I have not done any traffic generation other than sending emails out to the existing list. Steve: That's amazing. 5 figures, internal launch, and you just crafted it as you went. Jaime: Yeah. Steve: That's awesome. That's awesome. Jaime: Yeah. I was very happy with it. Then the other layer of it is I thought okay, I've got the monthly membership on the front end. I need to have something to offer on the backend. I want to be able to work with people on a little more personal level. What I did was I'm going to create the Platinum club. Everybody wants to be a VIP and everybody wants to feel important. The Platinum club is again another level of exclusivity. I learned this from Russell, everybody wants, well people will pay extra just to feel a little more special. My goal is always to provide more value. The way I can do that is with the Platinum club we offer monthly group coaching calls. Where I'll get on the phone I'm guessing, we haven't actually done the first one yet. It'll be probably coming up in the next week or so. 2, 3, 4 hours. However long it takes to go through, address the training. I'll be doing training on technical topics, and how to use ClickFunnels, and how to integrate different things. We'll be doing these on a monthly basis and go through all that. Answer any questions that come up during that process, and then also do some coaching. Then also do hot seats where if I've got a member that has a funnel that they're working on that they want to review, we'll pick somebody from the group and we'll go through their funnel and help from a technical perspective as well as just a conversion and just strategy perspective so that everybody can benefit. Everybody always learns from seeing somebody else going through the process. Steve: Oh yeah. Jaime: That's a great way to provide some value. Then I'll also be doing some much more in depth training videos on how I work. I've been completely blessed to work with some of the biggest names in the ClickFunnels world at least. I've worked with Liz Benny, I've worked with Trey Lowell, I've worked with Dean Holland, I've worked with Joel Erway. I've worked with all these people so to be able to see what all they're working on, and kind of be involved in that process, and to help them with different aspects of their funnels. It brings great experience. If I can take and share some of that experience with other people, then I would love to be able to do that. This is, the Platinum club's kind of my way to be able to do that. Steve: That's fantastic. I mean that's exciting. It's fun too like when ... I don't know I just feel like there's energy and movement and momentum is such a huge part of this. Cannot wait to launch forever. That's fantastic. Well hey. Okay. I take notes like crazy. I've got a full page of notes going. Jaime: Awesome. Steve: Just to kind of recap. You said some cool stuff. Perfection is the enemy of progress. Jaime: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Steve: That's huge. There's not failures, only results which is so big. Oh that's such a huge lesson. I mean you think about the mental I don't know, I call it mental shelf space. It's like how much your brain can kind of handle at once. I mean think about how much mental shelf space these people dedicate towards making sure they don't fail. Jaime: Right. Steve: It's very, very freeing to realize there aren't any. Anyways people will pay more just to feel special. I 100% see that all the time. Yeah. I'm pretty sure, because I sell my own funnels also like in the ClickFunnels marketplace, and all over. I think a lot of people don't even use the things that they're buying. They just want to feel like they've made progress. Anyways. Jaime: Yep. Steve: That's fantastic. Jaime: Yeah, that's the other thing too. This honestly, I'm guilty of this myself. I definitely know that people do this, a lot of people do this. It's probably the majority of people do this is, they go into something and they have an itch. They need to scratch that itch. As soon as somebody buys your product, they have scratched that itch. A lot of people will never consume your product because just the fact of purchasing it made them progress towards scratching that itch. That was just all they needed. That's what, get that shiny object syndrome because if we don't actually completely get rid of the itch, we just scratch it for a little bit, it's going to come back. Then we figure well this thing that I just kind of scratched the surface with, it kind of got rid of the irritation for a little bit. Now it's back. I'm going to have to try something else and maybe that will finally get rid of the problem. It usually doesn't because we didn't fully scratch it. People will do that. They'll buy your product and not consume it. It's just part of human nature. Steve: Yeah, yeah. Which isn't always a bad thing. Jaime: No. I mean absolutely not. It served well. As long as you do a good job and do it ethically and actually deliver something that could fulfill their need if they actually followed it, then you've done your job. That's another reason why you don't have to worry about being perfect with everything. You just have to get it out there. You've got a lot more chance of helping people actually be successful if you release something versus sitting and working on it constantly. Steve: Well I'm looking at this huge page of notes. I know you just kind of gave it, but I guess what kind of advice would you give here as we end? As you get started, I mean I'm looking at, you have quite the journey. You have quite the story going on here. This is awesome. Jaime: Yeah. yeah. Honestly the biggest advice is just, stick with it. Here's a little story I've shared before. I love this story. This story actually, I heard originally from Joel Osteen. I just thought it was brilliant and just a huge indicator. To me it attaches perfectly to internet marketing. That is, that there was a psychology study done with some apes. These scientists build this enclosed facility and in the center of this enclosed facility they've got this pole. At the top of this pole they've got this big bunch of bananas. Then they put in these 3 monkeys I think. They put in these 3 monkeys into this enclosure and of course monkeys love bananas. This first monkey runs and scurries up the top of the pole to grab this bunch of bananas. As soon as he got to the top the scientist, through the top of the enclosure, squirted him with a hose. He got doused with this bunch of water. Man he shoots back down the pole, never got the bananas. Gets to the bottom, then he's afraid to go back up the pole. Then the next monkey does the same thing. He's like hey I'm going to go up and get these bananas. He runs up to the top of the pole to grab these bananas and they dump this bucket of water on him. Again he gets doused with the water and back down the pole he goes. He's like, I'm not going back up, scared to even get near the pole now. The third monkey starts to make his way up the pole and the other 2 monkeys grab him and pull him down. Steve: Interesting. Jaime: They do this and they think, okay well let's take one of the monkeys out and we'll put a new monkey in. Now they've got a new third monkey. Again this monkey sees this pole, sees the bananas, goes and tries to go up. The other 2 monkeys grab him and pull him down. Then they thought well okay. Let's pull one of the monkeys out, put a new one back in. They do the same thing and this happens again. They do this again, and again, and again to the point where now none of the monkeys that are in the enclosure have ever been doused with the water. For whatever reason it's become inherent that you cannot be successful at getting these bananas and they all will pull each other down. Now nobody will even try to go up and get the bananas. I see that as kind of internet marketing. You get in it sometimes and you will get excited and jazzed about something. You'll go and talk to your friends, or you'll talk to your family, or talk to somebody else online. They'll say ah, that's never going to work. You don't even need to try. I knew a guy that got into that and he failed. You need to just stay down. People are going to pull you down when you think you've got something, you're going to be successful at. You're always going to have people around you that will pull you down, but if you persist, don't let the doubters, don't let the haters pull you down and keep you from being successful. I did that for a long, long time. You talked to people and they said, oh yeah that's crazy. That's a scam. You cannot make money online. It's just not possible. We see all over the world people that are being successful on the things we want to be successful with it. It's absolutely possible. You just have to stick to it. You have to pick the thin, the vehicle you think that's going to give you the success, and stick to it, and do that. You can be successful. That's one of the big things. Don't let the haters drag you down. You can make it to the top and you can grab your banana too. Steve: That's fantastic man, what a great story. I appreciate that. Jaime: No problem. Steve: Man I don't even want to say anything else because I don't want to ruin it. There's a glow right now. The room I'm in is actually a little brighter. Jaime: Awesome. Steve: Hey where should people go to check out your stuff? Jaime: CFProTools.com is just the quickest way, you can get signed up, get into the free membership area there. Once you're inside there's great buttons if you want to get upgraded. If you're not already in the ClickFunnels Facebook group, jump in there. I'm in there all the time so jump in and connect with me there. I'd love to connect with everybody. Steve: Mr. Jaime Smith you have dropped tons of gold and I appreciate that so much. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Jaime: Awesome man I appreciate it Stephen. Steve: Awesome. Okay I'll talk to you later. Jaime: Take care. Steve: Bye. Jaime: Bye.

Dang that rainbow is cool. On this episode Russell talks about how he didn't want to get out of bed, and wasn't excited to work for the first time in a long time.He also talks about how the average person doesn't get work done at work. Here are 3 interesting things on today's episode: Russell talks about why today he wasn't productive and why everyone should be allowed to have one non-productive day a year. Why you should think about how many hours a day you are actually working. And how working hard while you are at work actually gives you more time with your family. So listen below to hear about Russell's non-productive day and why it's okay every once in a while. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey everyone so I am actually driving home today instead of to work and I'm stuck in traffic and I thought, you know it's been a couple days let's hang out. Today was an interesting day, and I think it's probably how…..I don't know, I feel like I had a glimpse today of how probably the real world works, I think. I don't know though. I'm going to describe it and then let me know if that's how the real world works. I hope it's not, if it is, it kind of sucks. I kind of had a glimpse today, so I hope it's not. So usually I wake up and I'm just like super fired up and excited and all sorts of stuff. I just…anyway, the last couple of weeks have been kind of crazy. A lot of stuff happening, in the next 3 weeks, 4 weeks for our live event. Which if you haven't got your tickets yet, go to funnelhacking.com. Play and pitch play and pitch. Same thing, just a lot of pressure, it's just been kind of tough. I'm usually fine, I can balance it. I get in this state, I go, I move, I work and its fun. Just had some kind of annoying things happen on my side, just things that I don't know. I'm kind of just disappointed by or whatever. So this morning I woke up, and I didn't want to get out of bed. I don't normally feel that, but I assume that's how a lot of people feel. You always hear, “I hate Mondays.” Or whatever and I'm assuming that's how it is. But I did, I got out of bed, got ready, helped the kids get ready, everything. And then fed them breakfast and said prayers, got them out of the door. And then I walked back in the house, normally I go and jump in the shower, get ready and head out. So I start walking back to my room, and I walked and I saw my bed and I walked past and I stopped and then I went over and I got in bed. I was like, “Screw it. I'm just going back to bed.” And I went back to bed and I laid there for probably like….and I couldn't sleep. I wasn't tired; I just didn't want to do today. So I just laid there in bed for almost an hour. And then my wife came in that was really good. It was awesome. We just hung out and talked and made me feel better. And I had some big things happening today that I needed to be at the office for. So we had a big Blab hang out, and we ended up having 3,000 people on it. We interviewed Garret White and Liz Benny and Ryan Stewman and it was really, really cool. But then typically when i get to the office, and it's like go time, boom and I just go go go. And I remember one time reading something and it didn't make sense to me at the time, but I think I kind of get it now. I think it was actually a TED talk from Jason Freid, the dude that owns 57 Signals and Base Camp. He was talking about the concept of Remote. He wrote a book called Remote as well, which is an awesome book by the way. But he was talking about how if you want to get work done…..if you ask someone, if you get some work done, what do you do. They're like “I come to the office earlier, or I stay late, or I work from home.” But they never said they get work done at work. Work is not typically a place people get work done, I guess apparently. And then, I can't remember if it was there or something else, but someone said, the average person works 8 hours a day, but they only actually work 2 hours a day or something like that. I remember it didn't make sense to me. Really? That's weird. Today was kind of like the extension of after I got out of bed and I finally got to the office. I had two big things. I had a recording I was doing for a webinar and I had the Blab. And normally I sit at my desk and it's just Boom! Go time and I just go, go, go until it's next thing I know it's the end of the day and I got to go home and play with my kids. And today was more like, what I assume most people deal with. You just don't want to deal with the thing, you should but it's going to take all this effort to start it, and I don't really want to start it, and then I look at the clock and it's like 45 minutes til the next thing. I can start this thing, but I'm not going to be able to get much done on it, so instead I'll just go to Facebook, and I was totally…..It was amazing. And today sucked from a productivity standpoint. I did the two things that I had to do and that was about it. I got a couple little things done but, not very much. Now I'm heading home, and I'm going to get, actually I decided I'm going to go home, we're going to have junk food, I'm going to sit and watch a movie with the kids tonight, we're going to keep them up even though it's a school night, we're going to jump in the hot tub. I'm not doing a normal night tonight, I just don't want to. I want to do a night that I would want to do when I was a teenager. I'm doing that tonight because I want to, I'm going to. So there you go, you can't stop me. But anyway, it's just kind of interesting. I'm allowing myself today to feel that way, and tomorrow I won't ever again. Well, maybe someday I will but not for a long, long time because I didn't really like it, I felt kind of crappy the whole time and uninspired and I didn't feel like I was really moving things forward. But I did get on the Blab. That was really fun actually, that was cool. Those guys are all awesome, they really inspired me. That was cool. But I felt that way so I just wanted to record this message for a couple of reasons. One to document it for myself. Like, Wow, if you enter the day in a bad state that can kind of destroy your whole day. And literally I probably got 2 hours of work done today. Where on a typical day I would say, some people are like, how any hours a day do you work? I'm like 8. And how much work do you actually get done? I'm like, 8 hours worth. Typically I get 8 hours of stuff done in an 8 hour day and today was closer to the 2 that most people get. Anyway it was kind of interesting, so I'm documenting it for myself, and then for you guys too, to start thinking about that for yourselves. How many hours a day are you actually working? When you're working are you working or doing what I was doing today which is not necessarily working. Anyway, it's kind of interesting. You know we only have so many hours in a day and none of us spend enough time at home with our families and things like that. And I think that part of it is cause we're too busy at work not working and doing whatever. So I think if all of us can start focusing more and getting more done during the day, we can work half days and get twice as much stuff done. At least I think so. That's my theory after today. So you're allowed one per year that was my one. Tomorrow I'm going to kick my own butt, get back and stay. We're going to go hard and fast cause we got a lot to do. But just wanted to kind of document that and let you guys know that every once in a while, even I crash and just can't even function, and it does kind of feel good. I'm not going to lie, I'm really excited to just veg out and eat junk. So I'm going to do it and nobody can stop me. So there you go. This is probably the anti….the opposite of an inspiring podcast. It's the truth for today. There you go. I got nothing else. I'm almost home and I'm excited, it's kind of rainy and sunny, so I think we're going to get a rainbow, which is cool. A cool way to end out the day. Oh there it is. Holy cow there's a rainbow. Well look at that. Alright, there you go guys, we got a rainbow shining down on us, what can go wrong when there's a rainbow. Alright I appreciate you all. Have an amazing time and I'll talk to you guys on the next episode of marketing in your car.
Dang that rainbow is cool.

Anyway it was kind of interesting, so I’m documenting it for myself, and then for you guys too, to start thinking about that for yourselves. How many hours a day are you actually working? When you’re working are you working or doing what I was doing today which is not necessarily working. Anyway, it’s kind of interesting. You know we only have so many hours in a day and none of us spend enough time at home with our families and things like that. And I think that part of it is cause we’re too busy at work not working and doing whatever. So I think if all of us can start focusing more and getting more done during the day, we can work half days and get twice as much stuff done. At least I think so. That’s my theory after today. So you’re allowed one per year that was my one. Tomorrow I’m going to kick my own butt, get back and stay. We’re going to go hard and fast cause we got a lot to do. But just wanted to kind of document that and let you guys know that every once in a while, even I crash and just can’t even function, and it does kind of feel good. I’m not going to lie, I’m really excited to just veg out and eat junk. So I’m going to do it and nobody can stop me. So there you go. This is probably the anti….the opposite of an inspiring podcast. It’s the truth for today. There you go. I got nothing else. I’m almost home and I’m excited, it’s kind of rainy and sunny, so I think we’re going to get a rainbow, which is cool. A cool way to end out the day. Oh there it is. Holy cow there’s a rainbow. Well look at that. Alright, there you go guys, we got a rainbow shining down on us, what can go wrong when there’s a rainbow. Alright I appreciate you all. Have an amazing time and I’ll talk to you guys on the next episode of marketing in your car.

What is t-shirt video publishing schedule?… On today's episode Russell realizes why other marketers wear white shirts every single day. He also talks about why he hasn't worn white shirts in the past, but why now he might consider it. Here are 3 cool things to hear in this episode: Why Russell has to go buy all new clothes for Funnel Hacking Live. How if you watch enough videos of Russell you will know his shirt rotation. And why Russell is considering wearing boring dress shirts every single day. So listen below to hear about Russell's t-shirt drama and learn which of Russell's shirts are his favorites. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, good morning and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Alright, so we are on the way to the office as usual. I had a thought. I think I figured out why people wear slacks and a white shirt, finally. It took me a long time to figure it out. Yesterday, for example, we had 4 of our Clickfunnels certified consultants, who are just crushing it, come in and we filmed their stories; which are really inspiring. One of them is doing over a million bucks a year from what he got in the certification program; which is crazy inspiring because it was 8 months ago. One of them is a stay at home mom. She's got 12 full time clients now paying her between 1200 and 2500 bucks a month which is super cool. One is a network marketing guy who was struggling with network marketing and now he's doing this and just crushing it. Another one is Donna. She's a graphic designer. She went to the certification program. She doesn't just sell them graphic design now, now it's funnel building. She's able to 10x what she charged each of her clients. It's really fun hearing all of that. I was going to go meet them and I had to pick my wardrobe. I was going through all my stuff and I'm like, “I've worn this shirt at two different events and I've probably filmed 12 videos in it. And this shirt I've worn to three events and I've probably filmed 15 videos in. Everything single thing of clothing I have I can remember multiple, like 5 to 10 videos that I've worn it in. I don't have a ton of clothes. But my wife is always mad at me because I always go buy more clothes. I'm like you don't understand because I make a video and that video is out there forever and everyone has seen that thing. And it's funny because I'll go to an event and I'll have a shirt on and people will be like, “Hey I saw that shirt in whatever.” And people will say stuff like that. And I don't typically wear a white shirt and a tie, or a white shirt and a sports jacket or whatever. I just wear t-shirts or I wear button up shirts like that. But the problem is when you wear something like that's got color or flare or whatever you want to call it, or it's a t-shirt with a funny saying. After you've worn it once, then it's in stone on a video. You can't wear it again. For Funnel Hacking Live, I have to get all new shirts, because everything I've worn, a percentage of the audience has seen me wear before and its awkward because their like, “Does Russell wear that shirt every day? I thought he was successful.” It's like this horrible thing. I was thinking about my friend, Ryan Deiss, he does his events and videos and he always has a white shirt and a suit jacket on. I used to think he's trying to be all business-y, which is the anti of me, but now I kind of get it. If he wears a white shirt and jacket, people just assume you have on a new white shirt every time, but it could be the same shirt. He can wear the same shirt every day, for the last ten years and nobody would know, because it's a white shirt. And people assume, “oh if you've got a white shirt and tie, you're a business person and you've probably got like 50 of them and they're all dry-cleaned every single day. For all we know, Ryan's wearing a shirt and no pants. Or it's the same shirt and he never washes, he goes to the office and he's just got one hanging up there, throws it on and boom, does a video, but nobody knows. So, there's something to think about for today. I have no idea why I brought that up, outside of the fact for any of you guys, especially doing daily periscope videos I keep preaching and telling everyone to do. After 5 days everyone's seen your wardrobe. If you go back through my periscopes, you kind of know my rotation. Monday I'm probably wearing this. Tuesday I'm probably wearing this. It drives my wife crazy because there's only 5 shirts I like. I got this really cool one that I got online. Its yellow and it says “It's On Like Donkey Kong” and it's got a big picture of Donkey Kong. I love that shirt. I would wear it every day if I could, but people would see it. “Hey Russell, three periscopes in a row and you're still wearing the Donkey Kong shirt. Why?” I'm like, “Dangit!” Even if I bought three different versions of that shirt people would still think it's weird. I'm like, “No I washed it, I can wear it two days in a row, because laundry night was last night. So I can wear it.” But no you can't. It has to be two weeks out. I have to plan, “I wore this last week, I have to wait another week.” Because you don't want people to think you're weird. I have two American Fighter shirts that I love, that are my favorite. A blue one and a red one, and again those ones I would wear every day. But the problem is the same thing. You'd think I wore the same shirt every day. So I have this dilemma where some of you guys who are bloggers or podcasters, you can wear the same clothes every day and nobody would know. But because I had to choose videos as my medium it just ruins everything. I'm trying to think if I should go and find a white shirt. Or a shirt that is plain enough, and you're like, “oh, maybe that's just one of many dress shirts that are similar.” Then I could just wear the same thing every single day. I don't know. Then I have to start wearing dress shirts which is not going to happen. So there you go. I guess the moral of this story is, if you're going to pick a daily video thing, make sure that you're okay with the fact that people are going to see the same shirt every 5th episode or whatever. It was funny, a while ago I started this….I've tried to do this whole consistent publishing thing forever. It's kind of hard. In fact, the new daily periscope thing has been the best one that's been consistent along with the marketing in your car podcast. But one thing that I remember is when I started doing that, is because I was doing this daily one. I would do this daily sketch, and I did 12 days in a row, at that point I'd be through every shirt. I'd start over, and they kept coming. After 3 cycles of that, jI was like, “This is embarrassing.” Then we did this thing where I was like, “Hey if you want me to wear your shirt on my show, send me your shirt and I'll wear it.” So we got all these people sending the weirdest shirts. Some things I was like, “I can't wear this.” But of course, that's what people wanted you to wear. “Let me order the weirdest thing possible and make Russell wear it.” So that kind of died. I quit doing the show and a lot of it was because I felt dumb about wearing the same clothes every single time. I'm not sure if you can relate to this, but I hope that……Again, I don't know if I've provided any value today, but hopefully there's an entertainment factor. So I'm at the office now. I gotta get to work. I'm wearing one of my 5 favorite shirts, so if I do a periscope tonight, you guys will see it. It's a maroon one that says, “Obey” on it. So if you see that tonight that's why. I apologize, but I'm out of shirts, I got nothing else. So I'll have new stuff for Funnel Hacking Live. So if you don't have your tickets yet, go to Funnelhacking.com and get your tickets. So you can see what new outfits I have. If nothing else, that should be of value. Also, Marcus Lemonis is speaking, Sean Stephenson, Alex Charfen, Kyle Cease, me, Liz Benny, a whole bunch of other amazing people. Do not miss it, it's going to be awesome. Have an amazing day and I'll talk to you guys soon.

WARNING: Ignore this advice at your own peril! On today's episode Russell talks about THE one key to keeping money flowing in your business. He also tells you exactly how to do it and how to make it grow. Here are some cool things to listen for in this episode: Russell walks you through the steps on how to start a weekly webinar to get money flowing. He then walks you through how to keep that money flowing and grow your list. And why Russell will do a LIVE webinar every Thursday from now until the end of time. So listen below to hear how to keep money flowing in your business. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell. Tonight it is cold outside, but we're still about to do a Marketing In Your Car. Hey everyone, I hope things are going amazing for you. Heading home from the office today, and just keep getting more and more excited about how simple and stupid my plan is for next year. The angle's always world domination, and the strategy's changed so many times, but look at the people in our coaching group that have made the most amount of money, the things that have made me the most amount of money. It's all had to do with one core focus. It comes down to this. If you're taking notes, write it down right now. If you're in a car, pull over so you can focus a 100% because this is the key. Okay, and I talked about his on my periscope, the one that I told you guys about yesterday that we did 150k sales on it. The key is having a live event every Thursday, and the one singular goal of your entire company is to get at least a thousand people a week onto that webinar. That's it. It's kind of like the whole ‘apple a day keeps the doctor away'. A thousands registrants a week for your webinar keeps money flowing. We were doing the math on that. Let's just say, and I don't have the numbers in front of me cause I'm driving, as you guys know, but say you have a thousand people a week to register. This is all sources, so Facebook, solo ads, email ads, Twitter, social media. Everything you're doing is all pushing towards this one event that's happening ever single week. You're just focusing on that. Okay, and so you're doing that. You have a thousand people to register. From that, you get thirty percent show up rate, right? That drops to three hundred who show up, and then your call to action … Let's say you follow the perfect webinar script, if you don't follow it, you get like 1% closure. You follow the perfect webinar script, you're at 10% close rate. That means of the 330 people give you a thousand dollars from that webinar, so you just made 30,000 dollars. The math on that, let's say you should be averaging between 3 and 5 dollars per webinar registrant. Let's just say we spent 5 dollars per registrant, and we've got thousands. You pay 5 grand, and you make 30, okay. Now, what is that? If I was talking to my kids right now I'd say, “Son, you call that arbitrage, okay.” I put in 5,000 dollars on Monday through Thursday. Thursday night, I get 30,000 dollars back, boom. I didn't just get that because a couple other things are going to happen. Second off, from Thursday night to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we're going to be focusing on our replay sequence, okay. Now, there are a lot of different things you can do in a replay sequence. You can just send out the replay. You can send out urgency and scarcity we talked about a couple days ago. You can do a whole bunch of cool things, but if you do it right, you should be able to double your sales from the replay sequence, okay. Because think about it, you had 1,000 register, only 300 showed up. Only 10 percent of those people bought. You only had thirty people out of a thousand. That means you have a whole crap ton of other people haven't bought yet, and so you're job is to follow up with those people and get them to buy. Give them some urgency, some scarcity, do some cool things, maybe do a periscope, rant close Saturday night trying to get them to buy, whatever it is. You're pushing these people to take action and to give you money and to close. If you do it right, you should double your sales. That means that 30,000 now turned into 60,000. You have 5,000 dollars in, 60,000 dollars back out. You have more than 10X your money that week, which is pretty good, right? You're like sweet this is a good business. I put 5 grand in on Monday, I get 60,000 back out by Sunday at midnight. You do that every single week. Let's say that was all you did. I don't have a calculator here, and I'm not smart enough to do the math while I'm driving, but if you do that, 60 grand times 52 weeks, what's that end up being? Whatever, 3 million bucks or something, right? Your cost, 5 grand times 52 weeks, you're at 250 grand. You put in a quarter of a million bucks, you made 3 million, or whatever that is. That's a great business. That's more than most people will do ever. That's really, really exciting right there. That's the first step in this. The second thing to think about is every single week, you're adding a thousand people to your list. Okay, so by the end of the year, you have 52,000 people on your email list. These aren't normal people. People who have gone through your webinar registration funnel, seen your indoctrination series, they've been on your webinar, they've been indoctrinated, they've learned from you, they've seen you pitch. Those people will love and respect you a lot more because of that process that you went through with them. Now you've got a better quality person. If you screw this up, if you don't treat your list very well, you should be averaging at least a dollar per name, per month on your email list which means by the end of a year, you should be averaging an additional 52,000 in sales just from other exterior, I know there's a different word for that, but other things you sell that list. If you do it correctly, and you follow the whole DotComSecrets modeling, you do a value ladder, and you have upsales, and you have high ticket things, and you have other webinars and things like that, you should make a lot more than that. You should make five, or six million bucks off of that list to be a hundred percent honest. All that came from one solitary focus. One thing, the apple a day, it came from every Thursday we do a webinar, Monday through Thursday we fill that webinar, Friday through Sunday we close deals. And that is the fuel. That's the business. I just today, right before I left the office, I went on Thursdays, for me I do mine at noon, from noon until 2 o'clock, I put on recurring, and said every Thursday from now until the end of time I'm doing a webinar. Some people say, “Well do I do a new webinar every single week?” No, it's the exact same webinar. “Well Russell, shouldn't I do it automated?” No, you shouldn't, maybe someday, but right now you're going to do it live. I've done my Funnel Hacks webinar at least thirty, maybe forty times live, and I'm going to do it live every Thursday next year that I am in the office. I will automate it the days I'm not there, but I'm going to do it live. A couple reasons why. Why would you do it live? It's the same pitch Russell, it's probably word for word, and it is at this point. This is the reason why: On Thursdays when I'm doing a live webinar, guess what happens? Everyone is focused on this live webinar. Support staff's ready, we've got people answering chat, tech guys are watching everything making sure that everything's working. We've got everyone's focus and attention on this one event that's happening. Guess what happens when you focus on something? It's really weird. Whatever you focus on will grow. If you focus on how many leads a day you get, that will grow. If you focus how many webinar registrations you get each week, that'll grow. If you focus how much money you want, it'll grow. If you focus how much weight you want to lose, it'll grow, or you'll lose. Whatever it is on that side. There's this weird thing that whatever we focus on grows, so hey, let's focus on that, and it'll grow, and get better. We focus, everyone focuses. Thursday, this is sales day. This is the day we all focus on selling, okay. Monday through Thursday is marketing, Thursday is sales, and the rest of it is follow up. If you do that, you guys, that's the prescription for an amazing business next year. I was talking to Liz Benny, and I told her, I said, “Liz, I've seen you when you were running the webinar model consistently, you have the right numbers. Everything was working”. I told her, I was like, “I think that you can do 5 or 6 or 7 million dollars”, I have a hundred percent faith she can do it. I know she can, and she knows she can, and she's going to. Guess what she's doing? She's coming back to the same model, going back to basics, all of us. I'm doing it, my entire Inner Circle's doing it, I'm going to be sending this podcast to everyone and forcing them to listen to it because this is the basics. Again, if my son was trying it, I'd say “Son, that is the basics”. That's what we're focusing on, and if we all do that collectively, we'll change the world in our own little ways. That's what I'm doing, I hope you guys follow suit. I'm excited, and I hope you're excited, and it's going to be a lot of fun. I want to warn you, there's going to be some ups and downs. Sometimes Facebook's going to kick you off. Sometimes other ad networks won't work anymore. Sometimes you get crap leads. Sometimes your JV partners will screw you over. Sometimes no one will show up to your webinar. Sometimes the close rate won't work. Sometimes GoToWebinar will drop you, or webinar jam, or things are going to happen, and it's going to be frustrating and annoying and lame and hard, and you're going to be discouraged. Every time you get discouraged, I want you to think about the apple a day, and think about, I've got to come back. This is the focus, and every single week I'm going to get better, I'm going to get better, I'm going to get better. Maybe the first week I'm going to get ten people to register. Next week I get thirty. Next week I get fifty, and if I make that my focus, whatever we focus on, what happens? It grows. We're going to start focusing on that, and what's going to happen in the next 12 months is your business and your life will be transformed. It can't not be, and the lives of the people you're serving will be transformed. You say, Russell, this is cool, but I can't afford to buy Facebook ads right now. I don't care if you can't buy Facebook ads, go spam Facebook, okay. There's a lot of ways to get traffic for free. Go out there and do it. Write blog posts, promote them, go talk to people, do joint ventures. There's other ways to do it, and if your excuse is that I can't do it because my Facebook account got shut down. I can't do it because I don't know any JV partners. I can't do it because, fill in whatever excuse you want, that's all those things are excuses. There's a lot of people with a lot of good excuses out there, but the ones who don't have excuses, and just think, how can I figure this out? They focus on it. It's weird. What happens when you focus again? You get things done. It starts to grow. Start focusing on, what else can I do? I'm broke, I can't buy Facebook ads, what else can I do? I just saw my man Ryan from Hardcore Closer just been watching. He joined Inner Circle a while ago. I've been watching him. Just been crazy impressed with him, all the stuff he's doing, and just grateful he joined because I have a chance to see this glimpse of what he's doing and it's just been amazing. I'm watching him do these blog posts, and he's getting hundreds of thousands of millions people reading these blog posts, and it's just … He focuses on that and it grows. I saw him post the other day how his goal of the first of the year is to get 100 thousand visitors a month, and I think now he's getting 100 thousand visitors a week, or something crazy like that. It's what you focus on grows, and he's doing that through free traffic, and he started making money, and then he started spending his money on Facebook to boost those posts, and that's the model. That's how it all works. Anyway, I hope that all makes perfect sense to you. I hope that gets you excited. I hope that it inspires you because that's the model, my friends. That's what we're focusing on here. That's how we're going to take our company from 8 figures to 9 figures and beyond. That's how you should be taking it from 6 to 7, from 7 to 8, from 5 to 6, from 0 to 5. It's the model. It's what works. It's what's working today, and there's nothing else you should be focusing on, I don't think. There you go. You've got it on a silver platter now, on a napkin, you have it in front of you. You just gotta pick it up and run with it, and if you do then I only want you to send me 10 percent of what you make. I'm just joking. All I want you to do is serve other people. Help other people, get your message out there, and hopefully you'll tell people about Click Funnels along the way because we love it, and it keeps getting better every single day. Thanks everybody. I'm almost home. I'm going to bounce, and have an amazing night, or day whenever you're listening to this, and I'll talk to you guys all again soon. Bye everybody.
WARNING: Ignore this advice at your own peril! On today’s episode Russell talks about THE one key to keeping money flowing in your business. He also tells you exactly how to do it and how to make it grow. Here are some cool things to listen for in this episode: Russell walks you through the steps on how to start a weekly webinar to get money flowing. He then walks you through how to keep that money flowing and grow your list. And why Russell will do a LIVE webinar every Thursday from now until the end of time. So listen below to hear how to keep money flowing in your business. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell. Tonight it is cold outside, but we’re still about to do a Marketing In Your Car. Hey everyone, I hope things are going amazing for you. Heading home from the office today, and just keep getting more and more excited about how simple and stupid my plan is for next year. The angle’s always world domination, and the strategy’s changed so many times, but look at the people in our coaching group that have made the most amount of money, the things that have made me the most amount of money. It’s all had to do with one core focus. It comes down to this. If you’re taking notes, write it down right now. If you’re in a car, pull over so you can focus a 100% because this is the key. Okay, and I talked about his on my periscope, the one that I told you guys about yesterday that we did 150k sales on it. The key is having a live event every Thursday, and the one singular goal of your entire company is to get at least a thousand people a week onto that webinar. That’s it. It’s kind of like the whole ‘apple a day keeps the doctor away’. A thousands registrants a week for your webinar keeps money flowing. We were doing the math on that. Let’s just say, and I don’t have the numbers in front of me cause I’m driving, as you guys know, but say you have a thousand people a week to register. This is all sources, so Facebook, solo ads, email ads, Twitter, social media. Everything you’re doing is all pushing towards this one event that’s happening ever single week. You’re just focusing on that. Okay, and so you’re doing that. You have a thousand people to register. From that, you get thirty percent show up rate, right? That drops to three hundred who show up, and then your call to action … Let’s say you follow the perfect webinar script, if you don’t follow it, you get like 1% closure. You follow the perfect webinar script, you’re at 10% close rate. That means of the 330 people give you a thousand dollars from that webinar, so you just made 30,000 dollars. The math on that, let’s say you should be averaging between 3 and 5 dollars per webinar registrant. Let’s just say we spent 5 dollars per registrant, and we’ve got thousands. You pay 5 grand, and you make 30, okay. Now, what is that? If I was talking to my kids right now I’d say, “Son, you call that arbitrage, okay.” I put in 5,000 dollars on Monday through Thursday. Thursday night, I get 30,000 dollars back, boom. I didn’t just get that because a couple other things are going to happen. Second off, from Thursday night to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we’re going to be focusing on our replay sequence, okay. Now, there are a lot of different things you can do in a replay sequence. You can just send out the replay. You can send out urgency and scarcity we talked about a couple days ago. You can do a whole bunch of cool things, but if you do it right, you should be able to double your sales from the replay sequence, okay. Because think about it, you had 1,000 register, only 300 showed up. Only 10 percent of those people bought. You only had thirty people out of a thousand. That means you have a whole crap ton of other people haven’t bought yet, and so you’re job is to follow up with those people and get them to buy. Give them some urgency, some scarcity, do some cool things, maybe do a periscope, rant close Saturday night trying to get them to buy, whatever it is. You’re pushing these people to take action and to give you money and to close. If you do it right, you should double your sales. That means that 30,000 now turned into 60,000. You have 5,000 dollars in, 60,000 dollars back out. You have more than 10X your money that week, which is pretty good, right? You’re like sweet this is a good business. I put 5 grand in on Monday, I get 60,000 back out by Sunday at midnight. You do that every single week. Let’s say that was all you did. I don’t have a calculator here, and I’m not smart enough to do the math while I’m driving, but if you do that, 60 grand times 52 weeks, what’s that end up being? Whatever, 3 million bucks or something, right? Your cost, 5 grand times 52 weeks, you’re at 250 grand. You put in a quarter of a million bucks, you made 3 million, or whatever that is. That’s a great business. That’s more than most people will do ever. That’s really, really exciting right there. That’s the first step in this. The second thing to think about is every single week, you’re adding a thousand people to your list. Okay, so by the end of the year, you have 52,000 people on your email list. These aren’t normal people. People who have gone through your webinar registration funnel, seen your indoctrination series, they’ve been on your webinar, they’ve been indoctrinated, they’ve learned from you, they’ve seen you pitch. Those people will love and respect you a lot more because of that process that you went through with them. Now you’ve got a better quality person. If you screw this up, if you don’t treat your list very well, you should be averaging at least a dollar per name, per month on your email list which means by the end of a year, you should be averaging an additional 52,000 in sales just from other exterior, I know there’s a different word for that, but other things you sell that list. If you do it correctly, and you follow the whole DotComSecrets modeling, you do a value ladder, and you have upsales, and you have high ticket things, and you have other webinars and things like that, you should make a lot more than that. You should make five, or six million bucks off of that list to be a hundred percent honest. All that came from one solitary focus. One thing, the apple a day, it came from every Thursday we do a webinar, Monday through Thursday we fill that webinar, Friday through Sunday we close deals. And that is the fuel. That’s the business. I just today, right before I left the office, I went on Thursdays, for me I do mine at noon, from noon until 2 o’clock, I put on recurring, and said every Thursday from now until the end of time I’m doing a webinar. Some people say, “Well do I do a new webinar every single week?” No, it’s the exact same webinar. “Well Russell, shouldn’t I do it automated?” No, you shouldn’t, maybe someday, but right now you’re going to do it live. I’ve done my Funnel Hacks webinar at least thirty, maybe forty times live, and I’m going to do it live every Thursday next year that I am in the office. I will automate it the days I’m not there, but I’m going to do it live. A couple reasons why. Why would you do it live? It’s the same pitch Russell, it’s probably word for word, and it is at this point. This is the reason why: On Thursdays when I’m doing a live webinar, guess what happens? Everyone is focused on this live webinar. Support staff’s ready, we’ve got people answering chat, tech guys are watching everything making sure that everything’s working. We’ve got everyone’s focus and attention on this one event that’s happening. Guess what happens when you focus on something? It’s really weird. Whatever you focus on will grow. If you focus on how many leads a day you get, that will grow. If you focus how many webinar registrations you get each week, that’ll grow. If you focus how much money you want, it’ll grow. If you focus how much weight you want to lose, it’ll grow, or you’ll lose. Whatever it is on that side. There’s this weird thing that whatever we focus on grows, so hey, let’s focus on that, and it’ll grow, and get better. We focus, everyone focuses. Thursday, this is sales day. This is the day we all focus on selling, okay. Monday through Thursday is marketing, Thursday is sales, and the rest of it is follow up. If you do that, you guys, that’s the prescription for an amazing business next year. I was talking to Liz Benny, and I told her, I said, “Liz, I’ve seen you when you were running the webinar model consistently, you have the right numbers. Everything was working”. I told her, I was like, “I think that you can do 5 or 6 or 7 million dollars”, I have a hundred percent faith she can do it. I know she can, and she knows she can, and she’s going to. Guess what she’s doing? She’s coming back to the same model, going back to basics, all of us. I’m doing it, my entire Inner Circle’s doing it, I’m going to be sending this podcast to everyone and forcing them to listen to it because this is the basics. Again, if my son was trying it, I’d say “Son, that is the basics”. That’s what we’re focusing on, and if we all do that collectively, we’ll change the world in our own little ways. That’s what I’m doing, I hope you guys follow suit. I’m excited, and I hope you’re excited, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. I want to warn you, there’s going to be some ups and downs. Sometimes Facebook’s going to kick you off. Sometimes other ad networks won’t work anymore. Sometimes you get crap leads. Sometimes your JV partners will screw you over. Sometimes no one will show up to your webinar. Sometimes the close rate won’t work. Sometimes GoToWebinar will drop you, or webinar jam, or things are going to happen, and it’s going to be frustrating and annoying and lame and hard, and you’re going to be discouraged. Every time you get discouraged, I want you to think about the apple a day, and think about, I’ve got to come back. This is the focus, and every single week I’m going to get better, I’m going to get better, I’m going to get better. Maybe the first week I’m going to get ten people to register. Next week I get thirty. Next week I get fifty, and if I make that my focus, whatever we focus on, what happens? It grows. We’re going to start focusing on that, and what’s going to happen in the next 12 months is your business and your life will be transformed. It can’t not be, and the lives of the people you’re serving will be transformed. You say, Russell, this is cool, but I can’t afford to buy Facebook ads right now. I don’t care if you can’t buy Facebook ads, go spam Facebook, okay. There’s a lot of ways to get traffic for free. Go out there and do it. Write blog posts, promote them, go talk to people, do joint ventures. There’s other ways to do it, and if your excuse is that I can’t do it because my Facebook account got shut down. I can’t do it because I don’t know any JV partners. I can’t do it because, fill in whatever excuse you want, that’s all those things are excuses. There’s a lot of people with a lot of good excuses out there, but the ones who don’t have excuses, and just think, how can I figure this out? They focus on it. It’s weird. What happens when you focus again? You get things done. It starts to grow. Start focusing on, what else can I do? I’m broke, I can’t buy Facebook ads, what else can I do? I just saw my man Ryan from Hardcore Closer just been watching. He joined Inner Circle a while ago. I’ve been watching him. Just been crazy impressed with him, all the stuff he’s doing, and just grateful he joined because I have a chance to see this glimpse of what he’s doing and it’s just been amazing. I’m watching him do these blog posts, and he’s getting hundreds of thousands of millions people reading these blog posts, and it’s just … He focuses on that and it grows. I saw him post the other day how his goal of the first of the year is to get 100 thousand visitors a month, and I think now he’s getting 100 thousand visitors a week, or something crazy like that. It’s what you focus on grows, and he’s doing that through free traffic, and he started making money, and then he started spending his money on Facebook to boost those posts, and that’s the model. That’s how it all works. Anyway, I hope that all makes perfect sense to you. I hope that gets you excited. I hope that it inspires you because that’s the model, my friends. That’s what we’re focusing on here. That’s how we’re going to take our company from 8 figures to 9 figures and beyond. That’s how you should be taking it from 6 to 7, from 7 to 8, from 5 to 6, from 0 to 5. It’s the model. It’s what works. It’s what’s working today, and there’s nothing else you should be focusing on, I don’t think. There you go. You’ve got it on a silver platter now, on a napkin, you have it in front of you.

How to become more by increasing what you expect from yourself each day. On today's episode Russell tells a story about a guy from some Tony Robbins' events and why he expected more from himself and how that made his story is so inspiring. He also talks about how wresting helped Russell expect more from himself. Here are 3 cool things to listen for in this episode: People expect a lot of you, but what do you expect from yourself? Why the more you expect out of yourself, the more successful you will be. Why letting yourself off the hook is not always a good idea. So listen below to find out why you should expect more out of yourself in order to be successful. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to a snowy marketing in your car. All right, all right, so we've got snow out here in Boise Idaho and it's beautiful. It's supposed to snow for the next three days, so I'm hoping we just get dumped on because it would be really fun to take a day or two off with the kids and just do snowball fights, and snow forts, and all of that fun stuff. Cross your fingers that we get dumped on for a little bit here. I just wanted to jump in real quick because I just listened to a podcast and someone said something and it sparked something and I wanted to jump in here. It has to do with what you expect from yourself. We have all sorts of people in our lives that have expectations on us, right? Our wives expect us to do things, our kids, our co-workers, our employees, our parents, our friends, our brothers and sisters, everyone expects things out of us, right? That's one thing. I'm curious, what do you expect out of yourself? We were at a Tony Robins event and if you've ever been to UPW there's this little, not little. There's this guy, he's a little shorter, but like a stocky, bald dude, who's always on Toby Robins security, and at every UPW. If you ever go you'll see him, he's usually one of front guys in the front. He's always standing there flexing, making sure nobody gets to Tony. Anyway, the last day when Tony sells Business Mastery, usually this guy will get up and tell the story, and how basically when he was growing up … I can't remember how bad his life was but he went to a Tony Robins event, it changed him. He started just going to every Tony Robins event and just trying to just be there all the time, and be around it, and talked about how it changed his life from being this homeless kid to being a multi millionaire, and all of these things, it was just a really inspiring story. Afterwards we pulled him aside and we were just talking to him, me and four or five of our friends, we were just talking to him and the dude was like oh, so motivational, I just wanted to hire him just to come yell at me once a week. He was talking, and one thing he said that was interesting is we asked like, “What made the difference. Why do you come and work for Tony for free five times a year, and why do you do all of this stuff?” He said, “Where I grew up from nobody expected much from me, so I didn't do much. When I came here,” he's like, “Everybody expected a lot out of me.” He's like, “The reason why I'm so successful now, I expect more out of myself than anyone can imagine.” I remember thinking about that like, that's the driving force. What do you expect out of yourself? You think about why we get depressed in life, or why we have issues, or whatever it might be, I think it's usually because we expect something out of ourselves and we don't do it. I look at the things in my life that I really struggle with and that cause me pain, and almost all of them are associated with this is what I expect from myself, and this is what I'm doing. It's like when you were a kid and your dad is … you do something really, really bad and you're expecting him to beat you and you're preparing for a whooping, and then he comes in and he just looks at you and shakes his head and says, “I expected a lot more out of you,” and walks away. You're like, “Oh, daggers in the heart. That was way worse, why didn't you just beat me? I could have handled that.” I think that's a big thing, and I'm curious for you right now, and everyone listening is in different parts of their life, different times, different seasons, and different parts of their business as well. I'm curious, what do you expect out of yourself? People always ask, “Russell how do you get so much stuff done? How do you blah, blah, blah,” all of these things. I don't feel like I do that much but I feel like I expect a lot out of myself, because of that I don't sleep in, in the morning, I don't go to bed early at night, when I'm at the office I don't goof off, I'm not surfing Facebook and if it's not making me money, if I'm not helping someone, I expect so much out of myself that I don't, I just keep working, I keep moving forward because I expect it out of myself. I look at one of my favorite coaching clients from the last year and a half is Liz Benny, you guys have heard me talk a lot about her. People ask me, “What was different about Liz? How come she was able to grow so fast?” The reality, if you listen to the Voxer messages she sends me, I don't know anyone that expects more out of themselves than her. She is always on herself, which is part … I'm like man, you're doing awesome, lighten up on yourself. That's why she's so successful, she expects so much out of herself. She always says, “The Liz Benny that I am is not this, I am here, I need to be here, I need to get there. I expect so much out of myself.” I think that sometimes we just let ourselves off the hook. If you're struggling, it might be because you're letting yourself off the hook. I don't know, it might not be, there's life circumstances, there's things. Even when I expect a lot of myself we still had issues and headaches, things that come up so I get that, that's a real thing. If you're not progressing, and not progressing your own life, your clients lives in the way that you want, I wonder if that's the issue. I wonder if you're not expecting as much, enough out of yourself. I'm just going to put it out there, and I may be wrong, I don't know. If someone was to ask me now thinking back on it like, “Russell why are you having so much success?” There's a million external forces that have made it, there's so many. My partners, my employees, and my friends, people that have made this happen, right? Internally for me it's because I expect so much out of myself, that's it. I woke up this morning excited to get to work because I expect so much, and I want to do so much, I want to help, and serve, and change, and I can't do that without it. Anyway I just kind of wanted to throw that out there today, again I was listening to a podcast and that just popped into my head, and thought I would share it and hopefully you get some value out of it. Yeah, it's interesting, I think the same thing was true when I was a wrestler. My Junior year I was the state champ, and the next year there was a national tournament, you had to be a Senior and a state champ to go to so I was like, “Okay, I'm going to go,” and I expected that I would be an all American. That was what I expected out of myself. My Senior year the state tournament I lost to this punk kid who's not very good in just a really bad match. I ended up taking third place in state that year, my Senior year. I won it my Junior year and third my Senior year and I was destroyed, it ruined my self image. Everything that I was disappeared that day and I was so mad, but I expected so much out of myself and I was like, “No, I'm an all American. I know that already, that's not something that's up for debate just because I lost this match.” I was so mad and I remember we had two months before the national tournament and as like Russell right now is not an all American but I am one, I know that, that's what I expect from myself, and that's what I need to get. For the next two months we went crazy, I was working out on average … I remember one time when Dan Gable, when he's training for the Olympics was working out for seven hours a day, that was the standard I set for myself. I need to work out at least seven hours a day, so I'd lift, I'd go to my high school workout, then I'd try to find another high school close to me that had guys that were also training for the national tournament. I'd travel there, so I had to do two to three wrestling practices a day. During that time, that two month period of time, I went from being a good wrestler to being a great wrestler, I went to national tournament and because I had won the state tournament my Junior year I qualified, but I was probably one of the only dudes in the room who didn't win the state tournament that year. Came in, and because I expected so much out of myself over that two month period of time I came in and in a tournament that I think prior I would have done alright in, I don't think I would have placed in it, you walk in and the bracket has eighty six state champs in it. I came in and I beat almost everyone, I beat a two time state champ, I beat a three time state champ, I beat all of these people and I actually made it to the finals. The finals I lost by two points from a kid from New York. I made the national finals, I took second place in the country, I became an all American, and it wasn't something I was surprised about, I expected that out of myself, but I wasn't there at the state tournament. It took that loss and that setback, which we all have in life, it took that kick in the nuts, whatever you want to call it, that took me back, for me to really step up and say, “Look, this is what I expect from myself and I need to achieve it all costs.” I did in that situation, anyway, I hope that helps. I know that again everyone's in different times in life, you may have just lost your state tournament, figuratively speaking, or you may be on the two month process where you're trying to become who you know you need to become, and maybe you just placed, and maybe you became an all American and now you're kind of figuring out the next step. Wherever you're at, the more you expect from yourself the more you're going to achieve. Yeah, that's it for today, hope that helps. All right I'm at the office, it's snowing, and actually I have to go to head shots today so I'm just grabbing my juice, we're on the juice fast still, and I'm headed in, headed back to get my head shots then I got a webinar today. That's my plan, appreciate you guys, have an amazing day, and we'll talk soon.

Anyway I just kind of wanted to throw that out there today, again I was listening to a podcast and that just popped into my head, and thought I would share it and hopefully you get some value out of it. Yeah, it’s interesting, I think the same thing was true when I was a wrestler. My Junior year I was the state champ, and the next year there was a national tournament, you had to be a Senior and a state champ to go to so I was like, “Okay, I’m going to go,” and I expected that I would be an all American. That was what I expected out of myself. My Senior year the state tournament I lost to this punk kid who’s not very good in just a really bad match. I ended up taking third place in state that year, my Senior year. I won it my Junior year and third my Senior year and I was destroyed, it ruined my self image. Everything that I was disappeared that day and I was so mad, but I expected so much out of myself and I was like, “No, I’m an all American. I know that already, that’s not something that’s up for debate just because I lost this match.” I was so mad and I remember we had two months before the national tournament and as like Russell right now is not an all American but I am one, I know that, that’s what I expect from myself, and that’s what I need to get. For the next two months we went crazy, I was working out on average … I remember one time when Dan Gable, when he’s training for the Olympics was working out for seven hours a day, that was the standard I set for myself. I need to work out at least seven hours a day, so I’d lift, I’d go to my high school workout, then I’d try to find another high school close to me that had guys that were also training for the national tournament. I’d travel there, so I had to do two to three wrestling practices a day. During that time, that two month period of time, I went from being a good wrestler to being a great wrestler, I went to national tournament and because I had won the state tournament my Junior year I qualified, but I was probably one of the only dudes in the room who didn’t win the state tournament that year. Came in, and because I expected so much out of myself over that two month period of time I came in and in a tournament that I think prior I would have done alright in, I don’t think I would have placed in it, you walk in and the bracket has eighty six state champs in it. I came in and I beat almost everyone, I beat a two time state champ, I beat a three time state champ, I beat all of these people and I actually made it to the finals. The finals I lost by two points from a kid from New York. I made the national finals, I took second place in the country, I became an all American, and it wasn’t something I was surprised about, I expected that out of myself, but I wasn’t there at the state tournament. It took that loss and that setback, which we all have in life, it took that kick in the nuts, whatever you want to call it, that took me back, for me to really step up and say, “Look, this is what I expect from myself and I need to achieve it all costs.” I did in that situation, anyway, I hope that helps. I know that again everyone’s in different times in life, you may have just lost your state tournament, figuratively speaking, or you may be on the two month process where you’re trying to become who you know you need to become, and maybe you just placed, and maybe you became an all American and now you’re kind of figuring out the next step. Wherever you’re at, the more you expect from yourself the more you’re going to achieve. Yeah, that’s it for today, hope that helps. All right I’m at the office, it’s snowing, and actually I have to go to head shots today so I’m just grabbing my juice, we’re on the juice fast still, and I’m headed in, headed back to get my head shots then I got a webinar today. That’s my plan, appreciate you guys, have an amazing day, and we’ll talk soon.
All the cool stuff I learned on my journey. In this episode Russell talks about some of the highlights of his trip to New Zealand and Australia, including meeting Liz Benney and her family and being able to sell a huge percentage of a room where everyone already has Clickfunnels. Here are some fun highlights to look for in this episode: How Liz Benney found success with the help of Russell and Clickfunnels. How Russell was able to sell to a room full of people who already had Clickfunnels. And how Russell got Sean Stephenson to come speak at the upcoming event. So listen below to hear those and some other cool things that happened to Russell on his trip. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone. This is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. Hey everyone. I hope you guys have been doing well. It's been a little while since you've heard from me. Actually you did hear from me once in Australia. I was ranting about that sushi place, so you have heard a little bit from me, but anyway it's like 6:00 in the morning, we are driving to go get passports done for the kids before school, and I just wanted to jump on and say hey. It's been a little bit. Last week has been a crazy whirlwind. We flew last Monday, we flew from Boise and we flew over to New Zealand to go see Liz Benny and her family, and we had a super, just an awesome time. A chance to go see her. Liz joined our coaching program about a year ago and we had a chance to work with her for the last year and she's gone from being a successful social media manager for people and helping a ton of businesses, to taking her skills and expertise and teaching it to other people. She's helped thousands of people now become social media managers. She's put them in business and she's got success stories from people making 40 to 50 grand contracts and just so cool. So cool to see how her and her personality have been able to go out there and literally change the world in her way, and she's just getting started. You guys will hear more from her. It just keeps growing. It was really cool. Actually the last part of the trip I had a dinner with some people, and they're all people that make tens of millions of dollars, and we were talking about just the impact we've had over the last year, and I just kind of shared the story. I said, “You know, I went to New Zealand and I was sitting in the house that Liz was in, and she was in the process of packing up this house because she's moving to their beautiful new home they just purchased.” She showed me, she was like, “This is the chair I was sitting in, this is the computer I was looking at when I saw the ad with your face on it, and I clicked on it and then this is where I filled out the application.” She's like, “I spent hours going over the application because I was so nervous and all these different things.” She was like, “I put my heart and my soul into it. This is where I applied and then this is where you guys asked me for $25,000”, and she's like, “We were driving around here and I was saying, “No, we can't do it. It's too much money and we had saved that money for our future home and all these things.” Finally she was like, “We were in this room when we decided to do it, and then we had our first call, and this is where I was sitting, and this is where Kristy and I were sitting when we had our first Skype call, and she's now a year later and done almost a million dollars in sales. We just purchased our dream house and all this good that's come from it”, and it was just I don't know. We get in this business and we think about the dollars, the numbers, and the conversion, and all those kind of things. That trip just gave me a chance to make it more real and to see the end result of what we're doing, why we're really doing it. It was emotional for me, and it was exciting, and it was awesome to see her, and see them, and meet her little kids. They're super cute. Anyway, it was just great. We were only there for like 24 hours and we went and cruised around, made some videos, we went to the place where the filmed Chronicles of Narnia, and we had a quad copter and filmed Liz out in the middle of this huge field where the war was at and the quad copter flying over the top of her. There's going to be some cool videos that come from that I'm sure. Anyway, that was pretty awesome. Yeah, it was just overall it was just a great little trip. From there we flew to Australia. In Australia, we met with a guy named Ian Marsh. He was business partners with a guy named Mal Emory and then he actually bought Mal's business from him. Mal is always called the Dan Kennedy of Australia which is kind of cool. I've known Mal for probably six or seven years now. He interviewed me back in the day for his CD of the month club, and that's how I got to know him. I went and spoke four or five years ago for them. Flew out to the Gold Coast and spoke for him and then this time, so we went out there to that event. They had a smaller group. It was just a really neat group, and I had the chance to share Funnel Hacks and Click Funnels with everybody. It's kind of funny. It's awkward when you're in a room and you're about to sell Click Funnels and you ask, “Who in here has click funnels?” Everybody's hand goes up, and then you're like, “Who in here's ever seen this presentation?” Half the hands go up. You're like, “Man, how am I going to convert this audience?” How am I going to make some money selling? But I ended up selling over 25% of the room. Yeah, over 25% of the room. Which, when you consider who already had click funnels, it was like 150% of the room that I closed, so that's pretty cool. Then later on they wanted me to sell our higher end coaching program, but I felt bad the audience had been sold a lot over the week and I was like, “You know what? I'm just going to serve and give and just help”, so I did a really cool session. It's the very first session we do inside of our ignite program, and I did that with everybody. I think it turned out really cool. It was awesome. We did that, and then hung out there, jumped in the water, it was freezing cold, and went and saw Sydney, the big, huge bridge, and the opera house, and did that. I got to hang out with one of the coolest people I know. His name's Darren Stevens. He joined our mastermind group this last year, and so he's come to Boise three or four times and had a chance to hang out with him there, which was awesome. If you read the book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, he's the dude that did all the marketing behind that. It sold like 40 million copies of the book. One of the smartest people I've ever met, so I had an awesome time hanging out with him and getting to know him better, and just really cool, just a great experience. One of the things in my mind I kept thinking about while I was there, I was thinking about a book. I'm like, “I want to write a book that I can use to target small business owners to get them into click funnels”, right? That was kind of my thought process. The whole time I'm in Australia, I'm trying to think through that and I couldn't get the right angle, the right hook, so I kind of just that uneasy feeling when you're trying to create something, but you're not sure what it is and you're not sure of the right angle or direction, things like that. Anyway, that was kind of happening. Then the next day after we finished hanging out with Ian and Darren and all those guys, then … Oh and it was funny. We were out filming on the back patio in Australia, the hotel, filming some testimonials and all of a sudden this guy comes out and he's like, “Are you Russell Brunson?” I'm like, “Yeah, who are you?” He's like, “Dude, I'm a Click Funnels member. We have a dog training business”, and he's like, “I love Click Funnels.” He's like, “This is so random. I was here at my buddy's wedding. I look out on the back porch and Russell freaking Brunson's sitting there.” Which was pretty cool. Anyway that was cool. Then we flew to Phoenix for Joe Polish's 25K group, which was really cool. It's interesting, I almost joined his group four years ago and I went to the initial meeting, and I'm like, I'm not super good at networking. I always kind of struggle with that. I usually go to events more for the content. Honestly, and if Joe hears this, I'll feel bad, but the content wasn't ground, earth-shattering. That's what I remember four years ago, and so I didn't join back then. This is now four years later, I decided let's join again. I went to the event. It was kind of similar. The content was good. There was nothing amazing, but the network of people he put in the room was amazing. Again, I'm not a very good networker, so I don't think I really benefited from it last time, but this time I brought one of my friends, Dave Woodward. He's on our team. He's a really good networker, so he came with me and we kind of used that together to tag team and to network. That turned out awesome. I probably will from this point forward be a genius network member. Just the people in the room were amazing. So many cool people. People that in different markets, I would have only have dreams about getting to know that I became friends with and it was awesome. He's done a good job there. I did hear a couple presentations that were inspiring, and got one and maybe two speakers from there that are going to come speak at funnel hacking live, which is exciting. Some of you guys may know Shawn Stevenson, he's this little short guy. If you search Shawn Stevenson in Google, it's someone who I've looked up to for a long time, and I had a chance to hear him speak. Then afterwards his wife came up to me. She's like, “Russell”, she's like, “We love click funnels.” I'm like, “You do?” I'm like, “I love you guys”, and I was so excited, and so I'm like, “What would it take to get Shawn to come speak at our event?” She's like, “A little bit of money.” I'm like, “Done, let's do it”, so that's going to be awesome. I'm going to pause this because I'm driving the car behind my kids and they just voxed me, so give me second to check out what they just said. All right. I'm back from listening to my kids. They were singing me songs on Voxer. So stinking cute, I love them. I hope it recorded that because I came back and that clip was closed, so crossing my fingers you guys didn't lose the first half of my message. Anyway, so Shawn Stevenson, who is the man, is going to come speaking at the event for sure. This other dude that, it was really cool, he gave a cool talk on us entrepreneurs, and about how weird we are, and how it's normal, and how we're not alone, and it's cool. I think I'm going to ask him if he wants to kind of come speak. I'm not real quite sure the tangibles from his presentation yet, but I got chills like five times. As an entrepreneur, I was just like, “Oh, this guy gets me.” Anyway it was cool. Anyway, there was some really good things. I just, those of you guys who know me and how I teach at my events, everything is very tangible and you leave with like 80 pages of notes, where this one I really didn't leave with any notes at all, but I left with feelings. I guess that's more, that was probably more so feelings of how do I change things, how do I focus more on family, focus more on, the one thing Joe said that was cool was like, “Multiplication through subtraction.” How to do more by cutting things out. I think it was more of a week, two days of reflection for me of like what I can do different as opposed to here's cool stuff I could do. Which I guess is good. It's backwards from what I'm used to, and kind of what I typically like, but anyway. There you go. It was good though. I appreciated it and Joe's a class act. I like him a lot, so yeah. There you go on that. I did that for two days and then last night flew home, and I'm in the airport, we're hanging out eating dinner, me and Dave, and all the sudden this guy comes up to me, he's like, “Excuse me, are you Russell Brunson?” I'm like, “Yeah.” He's like, “I've got your book in my backpack. I'm flying home right now.” I was like, “Were you at the genius network?” He's like, “No, what's that?” I'm like, “So you're just randomly flying through the airport and you just saw me?” He's like, “Yeah, I got your book.” He's like, “I'm improving. I'm drinking my keytones.” We were literally drinking keytones right when he was there. It was just awesome, so did that, jumped on my plane, flew home, get in an Uber on the way home and on the drive home the Uber dude was like, he was like, “I'm just driving Uber while I build my business.” I'm like, “Oh yeah? What's your business?” He's like, “Oh, I'm creating an online membership site teaching people how to whatever.” I was like, “Are you serious?” I was like, “Dude, that is my world. That's all I know, and that's the only thing I know how to do.” He's like, “What?” It was just, so I totally sold Uber dude some Click Funnels, which was pretty awesome and he was so excited, so anyway it was a great week. A lot of just cool things came from it. I did a couple Periscopes on the road. If you guys missed them, I did one with Liz in the coffee shop where she kind of built her business, which was cool. I did one, where was the other one I did? Oh, I did one with Darren Stevens which was awesome. He told the strategy how he sells usually on average, about $80,000 worth of sales from his book before he even starts printing his book. Which was like the coolest ninja strategy on earth, so that was cool. Then I did a Periscope from Phoenix talking about all the cool things that Tony Robbins taught. Tony Robbins spoke at the event, which was cool. Tony Robbins spoke and it was awesome, and so I kind of shared all the highlights from Tony's presentation, and also John Paul Mitchell. I guess his name's Austin, it's not Mitchell. John Paul Dejoria or whatever, he spoke too, which is kind of cool how he became a billionaire. That was pretty sweet. Anyway, if you missed any of those Periscopes, go check them out. Go to blog.dotcomsecrets.com and those periscopes should be listed in there probably about the same spot that this podcast is, but go watch those, they were awesome. If you're not on my Periscopes, you need to get on them. Cool stuff's happening everyday I'm doing Periscopes, dropping some bombs, dropping some gold, and I promise I will make it worth your while for you guys to come and hang out on those. There you go. I'm almost to the passport place, still pitch black outside, totally tired and jet-lagged, and my body doesn't know what time of day it is, or night time, or anything, but that's okay because I'm home, and I'm with my kids and my wife, and this morning it was just so fun. At the airport I found these little minion tic tacs, so I brought them all home minion tic tacs. I woke them up this morning and gave them minion tic tacs. Every single one of them were all drowsy and they look up and they see the minions and they say, “Oh cool dad.” It was just the best $2.00 I ever spent. Anyway I'm rambling. I'm out of here. Appreciate you guys. Have an amazing day, and we'll talk soon. Bye.

I’m flying home right now.” I was like, “Were you at the genius network?” He’s like, “No, what’s that?” I’m like, “So you’re just randomly flying through the airport and you just saw me?” He’s like, “Yeah, I got your book.” He’s like, “I’m improving. I’m drinking my keytones.” We were literally drinking keytones right when he was there. It was just awesome, so did that, jumped on my plane, flew home, get in an Uber on the way home and on the drive home the Uber dude was like, he was like, “I’m just driving Uber while I build my business.” I’m like, “Oh yeah? What’s your business?” He’s like, “Oh, I’m creating an online membership site teaching people how to whatever.” I was like, “Are you serious?” I was like, “Dude, that is my world. That’s all I know, and that’s the only thing I know how to do.” He’s like, “What?” It was just, so I totally sold Uber dude some Click Funnels, which was pretty awesome and he was so excited, so anyway it was a great week. A lot of just cool things came from it. I did a couple Periscopes on the road. If you guys missed them, I did one with Liz in the coffee shop where she kind of built her business, which was cool. I did one, where was the other one I did? Oh, I did one with Darren Stevens which was awesome. He told the strategy how he sells usually on average, about $80,000 worth of sales from his book before he even starts printing his book. Which was like the coolest ninja strategy on earth, so that was cool. Then I did a Periscope from Phoenix talking about all the cool things that Tony Robbins taught. Tony Robbins spoke at the event, which was cool. Tony Robbins spoke and it was awesome, and so I kind of shared all the highlights from Tony’s presentation, and also John Paul Mitchell. I guess his name’s Austin, it’s not Mitchell. John Paul Dejoria or whatever, he spoke too, which is kind of cool how he became a billionaire. That was pretty sweet. Anyway, if you missed any of those Periscopes, go check them out. Go to blog.dotcomsecrets.com and those periscopes should be listed in there probably about the same spot that this podcast is, but go watch those, they were awesome. If you’re not on my Periscopes, you need to get on them. Cool stuff’s happening everyday I’m doing Periscopes, dropping some bombs, dropping some gold, and I promise I will make it worth your while for you guys to come and hang out on those. There you go. I’m almost to the passport place, still pitch black outside, totally tired and jet-lagged, and my body doesn’t know what time of day it is, or night time, or anything, but that’s okay because I’m home, and I’m with my kids and my wife, and this morning it was just so fun. At the airport I found these little minion tic tacs, so I brought them all home minion tic tacs. I woke them up this morning and gave them minion tic tacs. Every single one of them were all drowsy and they look up and they see the minions and they say, “Oh cool dad.” It was just the best $2.00 I ever spent. Anyway I’m rambling. I’m out of here. Appreciate you guys. Have an amazing day, and we’ll talk soon. Bye.
My thoughts after seeing a really cool new high ticket sales funnel built in Click Funnels. On today's episode Russell talks about how someone else used Clickfunnels to make over $300K. He goes through the process this person used to do it and how it's similar to his own process. Here are some fun things you'll hear in this episode: Find out the process used on Clickfunnels to make over $300K in sales. And how to use Russell's coaching funnel in your own business to get people inspired about your product. So listen below to find out how you can follow the model set by Russell and others to inspire people and increase your sales. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone! This is Russell Brunson. I want to welcome you to Episode Number 109 of the Marketing In Your Car series, and I cannot believe that I've been this consistent to do 109 episodes, but I'm excited to have you guys all here. All right, everyone. So I woke up this morning, I was supposed to do a podcast interview at 7:00 my time. I called into the podcast, and it turned out my assistant screwed up on the time and it's actually 9:00. So I had an hour today to kind of goof around, and I was looking up some stuff and saw this message in the Help Desk from somebody using ClickFunnels, and the guy said: “Hey, just so you know, we love ClickFunnels,” whatever, and anyway then I saw the guy's name, and I knew him on Facebook, but I'd never really talked to him before, so I messaged him and I was like: “Hey man, just, you know, saw your thing in our support desk. Glad you love ClickFunnels,” and he's like, “Yeah, man.” He's like, “Our new funnel is doing over $300,000 a month because I had ClickFunnels.” And I'm like, “What? That is amazing!” I said, “Where is it at? I want to see it!” So he sent me a link to the funnel, and so this morning that's all I did, is I was going through his funnel. And it was amazing, and it made me so proud that ClickFunnels is the backbone that's given him the ability to do that. But what was even more powerful is, as I was watching his process — and he's selling a $10,000 boot camp, a weeklong boot camp type thing, and he's got videos throughout this funnel to sell the process. And it was interesting because it was kind of similar to my coaching funnel in some ways and very, very different in other ways. For those of you guys who listen in, if you guys haven't seen my coaching funnel, I recommend doing it for two reasons. One, you're going to get a ton of ideas if you are selling your own high end coaching program. Number two, that's how you get in my coaching program, and if you're listening to Marketing In Your Car, I promise you there's no better coaching program online than ours. In fact, I was just two seconds ago responding back to our members. All of our members have me on walky-talky and they can ask or message any time they want, and that's how much I care about you guys and want your success. So either way, you need to go check out the Coaching Funnel. If you go to DotComSecretsIgnite.com, you'll see one of the coaching pages there. If you go to DotComSecrets.com, there's a whole bunch of links to all different versions of the coaching page. You can kind of see what it is there, and then go through the process. Again, go through to see it, but go through because you guys should get involved in our coaching program if you want to go to the next level. But look at the process and, you know, so step number one, there's typically a video of one of our success stories. I think right now, if you go to DotComSecretsIgnite.com, you'll see Liz Benny telling her story there. It's an emotional, captivating story of her experience of the coaching program, and then there's kind of a long form sales letter that kind of goes through what's involved and what happens, and those kinds of things. And then after you apply, or after you finish the first step, then it takes you to the “Application” page, and on the “Application” page I've got like a 20 or 30-minute video that I call “The Journey,” and it's me. I kind of intro the story real quick and then I show testimonials, this whole, like, story of people who've gone through our coaching, and we've got people crying, and talking about how it changed their life and all sorts of stuff, and it's a very emotional video there for step number two. And then after they apply, then it takes them to the third step in the sequence, which is the “Homework” page, which then pre-sells them and gets them really excited about our call and why they want to work for me, and things like that. So it's a really cool process. Right now, for every single person that applies, we're averaging $967 in backend sales, so the process works and it gives me the ability to work with people and change their lives at a level that has never been possible before for. So that's kind of what my Coaching Funnel looks like. It's this three-page sequence. There are emails and other things tied to it as well, depending on what you do and where you go and that kind of stuff, but that's kind of the basic overall architecture of it. So today when I was watching this guy's coaching funnel, it was beautiful. What he did is, step number one, he had this really cool video of him out in front of Wall Street, kind of telling his story about how everything crashed in 2008, and anyway it kind of tells a story. It was a visually captivating video. The page looked amazing, it was really, really cool. So then I followed step one, I put my email address in, and step two took me to like a documentary style of the weeklong coaching program, and it was super cool. I haven't watched the whole thing yet. It's like an hour and 20 minutes long, but you watch this video, and it's the actual process that he takes his people through, and he's showing it. He's got people crying and all these things happening, and he's showing the process. Which was powerful, because obviously I'm not in his coaching program — or I saw what he does with his people, and how he does it, and how he affects them. You know, and I've known who this guy was on Facebook for a long time. I've never really… he always kind of drove me crazy, to be honest. But when I saw him and how he uses his personality to effect change in people, I got a soft spot in my heart for him and I was like, “Wow, this guy's really doing some cool things!” And it just made him very, very real. It kind of put purpose behind his exterior, and stuff like that, and it made me really, like, bond with him. In fact, by the time I was finished — you know, I haven't watched the whole hour and 20-minute long video, I watched a bunch of it, like I wanted to go through the program. I was like, “Man, this is really, really cool!” Because then he's showing the actual process of how he affects change in people, and you see the people's lives. You see the look in their eyes, you see all those kinds of things, which is really, really cool. And then — check it out, guys. I got to the gym and my trainer is not even here yet. Oh, I'm early. Okay, and then… so then you watch that hour and 20-minute long video and then there's a thing that says “Apply for his program.” So you click on the “Apply” button, and then it takes you over to a page where he's talking directly to the screen, and it's got the application box on the right-hand side. And he's telling them how the process can happen, and how this is an interview, and how you can't lie, and you got to be very truthful when you go through this, and just very direct and very… Anyway, it was really, really cool. This video, probably about 10 minutes long, telling them what to expect and how to do it and the way to go through this process, and so kind of that page right there. And after you go through and apply, then on the next page it takes you to one more video of him, where he's sitting there getting a tattoo. It was kind of cool, and he's talking to you as he's getting his tattoo, and just telling you like, “This is what's going to happen now, this is what to expect, and this is where we're going, and this, you know, you just finished step one of your interview, and you're going to have a chance to speak directly to me, but only if blah, blah, blah.” You know, all these different things. And anyway, it was just, it was a really cool process and it made me think a lot. I look at how salesmanship online has been evolving, just in the 12 years that I've been doing it. You know, when we first got on, it was very rudimentary copy that got people to buy. You know, over the next five or six years we all got better at writing copy, and copy got slicker and better and better at convincing people of things. And I look at my own marketing, I look at other people's marketing, and I almost feel like the era of like sales copy is dying, and it's transitioned into the era of like almost like reality TV, like stories and emotional connections and things like that. Like again, if you look at my coaching funnel, like the copy on the page is not very substantial at all. It's more there to logically support what they're feeling when they watch the emotional videos. You know, this guy's, he didn't even have any copy. It was just the emotional videos that got people to want to change, and it inspired them and gave them belief and hope that he could effect change in their lives. And that's kind of similar to, if you look at my coaching funnel, what we have in there. All the videos and stuff are structured to cause belief and hope and cause that change in someone. So anyway, it's pretty exciting. So for me, again, a couple of things: First off, it was fun to see it in ClickFunnels. Second off, it was fun to see another successful coaching funnel. There's not a lot of them out there, and it was really fun to see his and see that the style model mimicked a lot of kind of what we were doing, which was exciting. And I don't think he modeled it from me, he just did it his own way, but just the psychology behind how we both had kind of structured things was similar, and in some ways I think his was even better, which was really, really cool. It made me want to go back and make an, you know, an hour and a half-long documentary about our coaching process, what we take people through, but it was really cool. So anyway, I just wanted to kind of share that with you guys, and if you want to see a good coaching funnel again, go to DotComSecretsIgnite.com. And for those of you guys listening, I've never really pitched you guys on anything before in the 109 episodes we've done this, but if nothing else, you guys need to get involved in our coaching program. There's none other like it on the Internet. If you want success and you want to get from where you are to where you need to be, we're the best at that, and I have no reservations saying that. I don't feel guilty, you know, talking about my own program, not only because I've seen the results and I've been in tons of other coaching programs, and I always desired something from them and I never got it. And so when we started putting this together, I said, “What would I actually want? How would it affect me the most?” And we built something based around that, and because of that, I mean, you've seen the success stories pouring in from what we're doing, so it's pretty exciting. So that's what I got for today, you guys. I'm going to check out, but for all you guys who are interested in some high ticket stuff, go look at my coaching funnel, study it and model it, use it for what you guys are doing, bring emotion, bring stories in. Take the results and the case studies from people's lives you've changed, capture those on video and make a really compelling story, and that's what's going to get people to want to be inspired enough to sign up for your high end program. So that's it, you guys. I appreciate you all, and we'll talk soon.

How we did $23,000 dollars in sales in front of a live audience. On this episode Russell talks about how when you do a live event you need to do cool stuff because people love it. He talks about a live webinar he did yesterday and why it was so awesome. Here are some of the fun things you will hear in this episode: Why Russell's plan of starting the webinar 10 minutes early to get everyone fired up was thwarted by a non working video. How doing the webinar live with everyone watching is comparable to being on a first date and trying to kiss with the girls parents watching. And find out out how many people joined Clickfunnels and how much money Russell made from this e webinar. So listen below to find out how Russell's live webinar went during his live event. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson and I want to welcome you to Marketing in Your Car. Alright everyone, I'm sure you've been on pins and needles since yesterday's podcast, wondering what happened. Did Russell do the live webinar? Did it convert? Were there technical problems? What happened? Anyway, I'm going to tell you guys the story. We started the event yesterday. It was really cool. It's funny, when I used to do my events back in the day, I would try to jam in every single thing I knew for two or three days, and people would get so overwhelmed, they wouldn't do anything. This event has been very focused on just one thing and digging really deep into it, and not just having training, training, training but trying to pull in other cool things outside of that to help facilitate, teach, and coach. It's been a fun process. We started out the day with me on stage talking about stuff. I didn't go in a lot of depth about the perfect webinar script because everyone had seen that but I went in depth about how to create the offer, how to do the content section, and things like that. We dug really deep there. They had some exercises which people got to create their offer, things like that, and then create their content pieces, the one thing in the three secrets. That was cool. Then after that, I had Liz Benny who is one of our webinar case studies who is crushing her webinar right now, she came on stage and we brought a couch up, and I just did a Q&A with her and asked her questions about her webinar. People loved that. It was so cool. We spent almost an hour of her talking about it and her experience, the ups and the downs, and all the stuff that happened. I think it gave people a lot of hope and faith as they've been struggling and trying to get theirs done which was cool. Then after that, I did a presentation on how to pitch because a lot of people can follow the script well but then they can't get up and actually present it well, so I'm teaching how to do tonality and voice inflections, and trial closes, and all these important things. Then we went to lunch. While everyone was at lunch, I got my laptop set up and we hard lined it into the event center. I was so scared that the internet was going to crash or a million different problems. I had a webinar. We had about 1200 people registered for it. It was starting at two o'clock mountain time. We were going through it and I told everyone at two o'clock, come into the room. You got to be quiet because I'm starting live. If you guys want, you can just watch me and learn from the way, seeing me actually do it. They're all coming in. We're getting ready. I was going to start 10 minutes early and get on there and start welcoming people, but 10 minutes early, I did one quick run through of my slides and it turns out none of my video files of my slides were working. I'm scrambling, trying to get it to work, trying to get it to work and none of them were working. We had one minute before the webinar was supposed to start and they're still not working. I'm like, “Oh man.” I throw out all the slides. I deleted all the slides of the video stuff, found the video files, and it was crazy. Then it's top of the hour, supposed to be starting. I told everyone, “Okay, everyone, quiet, time to calm down.” I think we had 200 people or so on at the time, “Alright guys, here we go.” I clicked start and clicked record, and started going through the presentation. At first, it was super nerve-wracking because literally, there were 80 people in our event that sat in watching me. I'm sitting there on a laptop, standing up in the room in front of the laptop giving this presentation. It was super awkward. I was telling people afterward, “I felt like I was on a date with a girl, and I just took her home and was going to kiss her for the first time at the doorstep, and her parents are standing out there watching me, just staring at me as I'm doing it.” That's what it felt like. How do you do this? How do you perform under this kind of pressure? After about 10 or 15 minutes, I just got in the zone and totally forgot about everything else, did the webinar presentation, did the pitch, and it ended up going for an hour and 15 minutes, the whole thing. When it got done, I did my call to actions. Then I muted myself. When I muted myself, I popped out of state. I turned around and the entire room was standing and gave me a huge standing ovation. They kept clapping for two or three minutes. I literally fell exhausted down onto the couch. I was like, “Oh.” They sat there clapping and clapping. Then I was like, “Alright guys, let's take a 20 or 30, or an hour long, I don't know, let's just take a break for awhile. I'm beat.” We split up. It was so cool. I got so much good feedback afterwards, people that came back and they were just like, “Wow, I've been on webinars. I've tried listening to you teach about it but seeing it actually live and seeing how you do it, seeing all that kind of stuff took it to a whole new level and changed the whole paradigm.” It was cool. I felt good about it. I think they all loved it. When all was said and done, we did $23,000 in sales from that webinar. That was my other big fear, “What if nobody buys and I look like I don't know what I'm talking about in front of everyone?” I was grateful I did $23,000 in sales, and then from that process, we had 140, from the little campaign, we had 140 people join Click Funnels, the trial. Those all re-bill at another $14,000 a month recurring which is awesome. When all was said and done, it was a smashing success. It worked. After that, I did another presentation where I went back through my slides and walked everyone through some of the core things that I did that I wanted to make sure they didn't miss because there's some really cool ninja stuff that we're doing. That was fun. Then we brought up Natasha Hazlett who is another one of our people who is just crushing it with webinars and live events, and had her tell her whole story about what she's doing and how she's doing it. People loved that as well. After that, I was beat. I said, “Everyone, I had another session planned but let's just go home and get a nap,” so we broke and everyone went out and networked, and had a good time. The day was exciting. It was awesome. We had a fun time. That was yesterday. I'm driving in for today now. Today's event, we are talking about webinar registration process which is cool. I'm going to be showing some really cool things that we're doing I think people are going to love. That's going to be first. Then I have a guy named Jason O'Neill who did his very first webinar last week and he crushed it. He made seven or eight sales and he was just going crazy, how excited he was. He's going to share his whole thing which is going to be fun, then we have a guy named Mike Neilson who Mike has been driving all the traffic for Liz's webinar. He's the Facebook webinar registration ninja. He's going to show his whole process which is going to be cool. After lunch, I have three or four things I think we could go. I'm not sure where we're going to go though. We will see. One thing we're going to do for sure is break things into accountability groups and get everyone accountability partners, stuff like that. That's what's been happening. For those of you who aren't in Boise, I just wanted to keep you in the loop on what's going down. For those who in the future are going to come to Boise, you got to come. This is like no other. We don't do what everyone else is doing. We go and take it to another level to try to inspire, excite, and to show you what's possible. It was a lot of fun. For those of you who are here who went through the process, I appreciate you guys, and those who weren't, if you become an Ignite or Inner Circle member, we'll have all the recordings in the member's area for you guys. That's about it for today. My brain is so fried, you guys, I don't have too much more value to give other than if you're doing live events, do cool stuff because people love it. That's about it, you guys. I appreciate you all. I will report back in the next few days on what else happens through the rest of the group. We have the second day of our Ignite event today, and then tomorrow and Thursday are our Inner Circle mastermind meetings. That's about it. I'll talk to you soon.
How we did $23,000 dollars in sales in front of a live audience. On this episode Russell talks about how when you do a live event you need to do cool stuff because people love it. He talks about a live webinar he did yesterday and why it was so awesome. Here are some of the fun things you will hear in this episode: Why Russell’s plan of starting the webinar 10 minutes early to get everyone fired up was thwarted by a non working video. How doing the webinar live with everyone watching is comparable to being on a first date and trying to kiss with the girls parents watching. And find out out how many people joined Clickfunnels and how much money Russell made from this e webinar. So listen below to find out how Russell’s live webinar went during his live event. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson and I want to welcome you to Marketing in Your Car. Alright everyone, I’m sure you’ve been on pins and needles since yesterday’s podcast, wondering what happened. Did Russell do the live webinar? Did it convert? Were there technical problems? What happened? Anyway, I’m going to tell you guys the story. We started the event yesterday. It was really cool. It’s funny, when I used to do my events back in the day, I would try to jam in every single thing I knew for two or three days, and people would get so overwhelmed, they wouldn’t do anything. This event has been very focused on just one thing and digging really deep into it, and not just having training, training, training but trying to pull in other cool things outside of that to help facilitate, teach, and coach. It’s been a fun process. We started out the day with me on stage talking about stuff. I didn’t go in a lot of depth about the perfect webinar script because everyone had seen that but I went in depth about how to create the offer, how to do the content section, and things like that. We dug really deep there. They had some exercises which people got to create their offer, things like that, and then create their content pieces, the one thing in the three secrets. That was cool. Then after that, I had Liz Benny who is one of our webinar case studies who is crushing her webinar right now, she came on stage and we brought a couch up, and I just did a Q&A with her and asked her questions about her webinar. People loved that. It was so cool. We spent almost an hour of her talking about it and her experience, the ups and the downs, and all the stuff that happened. I think it gave people a lot of hope and faith as they’ve been struggling and trying to get theirs done which was cool. Then after that, I did a presentation on how to pitch because a lot of people can follow the script well but then they can’t get up and actually present it well, so I’m teaching how to do tonality and voice inflections, and trial closes, and all these important things. Then we went to lunch. While everyone was at lunch, I got my laptop set up and we hard lined it into the event center. I was so scared that the internet was going to crash or a million different problems. I had a webinar. We had about 1200 people registered for it. It was starting at two o’clock mountain time. We were going through it and I told everyone at two o’clock, come into the room. You got to be quiet because I’m starting live. If you guys want, you can just watch me and learn from the way, seeing me actually do it. They’re all coming in. We’re getting ready. I was going to start 10 minutes early and get on there and start welcoming people, but 10 minutes early, I did one quick run through of my slides and it turns out none of my video files of my slides were working. I’m scrambling, trying to get it to work, trying to get it to work and none of them were working. We had one minute before the webinar was supposed to start and they’re still not working. I’m like, “Oh man.” I throw out all the slides. I deleted all the slides of the video stuff, found the video files, and it was crazy. Then it’s top of the hour, supposed to be starting. I told everyone, “Okay, everyone, quiet, time to calm down.” I think we had 200 people or so on at the time, “Alright guys, here we go.” I clicked start and clicked record, and started going through the presentation. At first, it was super nerve-wracking because literally, there were 80 people in our event that sat in watching me. I’m sitting there on a laptop, standing up in the room in front of the laptop giving this presentation. It was super awkward. I was telling people afterward, “I felt like I was on a date with a girl, and I just took her home and was going to kiss her for the first time at the doorstep, and her parents are standing out there watching me, just staring at me as I’m doing it.” That’s what it felt like. How do you do this? How do you perform under this kind of pressure?
