So, money is a thing, but it's not everything.
I think you really look at the importance of what are you doing with your time.
The conversations that we've had with our financial advisor is very much building what that framework looks like
that helps support those important things.
The places where you're investing your time and your resources, your family clearly, and those closest to you.

Hey, what's up?
This is Russell Brunson.
Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast.
I hope that you enjoyed the last episode.
The last episode was basically the Funnel Builder webinar where I told you guys and taught about the new opportunity and how it works and all those sorts of things.
And I know a lot of you guys have been messaging us freaking out, excited,
because you're like, I want to be a funnel builder. How do I get started? So I do think
right now the site is down, but we do have a behind the scenes backdoor link. If you go to
funnelbuilder.com slash go, you could go and actually join the certification program, which
I think you all should do. I think either you should be certified or you should have some of
your team certified or both. That's how powerful the process is. But anyway, I digress. I wanted
that podcast episode for a few reasons. Number one, I talked about it in an earlier podcast,
and so I wanted you guys to be able to hear it. Number two, it's the perfect webinar. So those
who have been studying that process, you had a chance to hear me do it. And I've added a lot
of things and tweaks and changes. And hopefully you were able to view it from the outside and
through that lens of just like,
oh, look how he did this and how he phrased this and how he broke down the secrets and the stack and the clothes and all that kind of stuff.
So hopefully that was beneficial for you guys to watch and to see.
And honestly, I just wanted to be able to open your eyes to this opportunity.
Like if in my life everything went downhill, I would become a full-time funnel builder.
Like that's it.
In fact, I joke with my friends when I'm stressed out.
I call them up, the big companies.
I'm like, hey, do you want to hire me?
I want to be your funnel builder.
And it's so much fun.
So anyway, hopefully you enjoyed the presentation.
Now at the end of the presentation, I actually brought on a whole bunch of funnel builders, people who do this for a living.
I think there's 10 or 12 of them.
And I had them each tell their story. And so I wanted this episode to be that so you guys could
hear the story for a couple reasons. Number one, like the stories are awesome. Number two,
to give more belief to you in this career in this path. And I think for a lot of you guys,
this is something that you're in here listening to my podcast, you're studying marketing,
you're learning these things, you're obviously excited by it. Like imagine being able to jump
in and make this a career for you, even without, you know,
and a lot of people want to build funnels for themselves, but like, this is literally,
we call it the back door. Cause it's like, Hey, while you're, you know, trying to figure out how
to build funnels for your own products or services, like do this and make money while you'll
learn while you earn, while you learn. Right. So that's kind of the, the, the goal. And so you
have a chance to hear some really cool interviews. One of them is with Stephanie Blank. She's going gonna tell you her story, which I think, you know, she was in a spot similar to a lot
of you guys where you're love the stuff, but you weren't making any money.
And she decided to spend money she didn't have.
She jumped the certification program and, and it changed her life.
You also can hear from a whole bunch of other people.
One of them that's cool is Austin Ford.
He's in there and he shares a nugget.
It's like one of the keys.
In fact, I took that video clip and I put it inside the certification members area for people to watch again. We talked about the two
things. He went from like struggling and flailing around to like figuring out how to be successful
as a funnel builder. And it was two things he learned. Like it was like number one, number two,
and I'm not going to ruin the surprise for you, but that's I think the fifth or sixth interview
in the series. So just listen to these, enjoy them, look for the gold nuggets that are lying there.
There's a bunch of them as you go through them.
And again, if you want to join us to become a certified funnel builder,
the back door is funnelbuilder.com slash go.
Thanks so much, and I hope you enjoy these interviews.
So the big question is this.
How are entrepreneurs like us who didn't cheat and take on venture capital,
who are spending money from our own pockets, how do we market in a way that lets us get our products and our services and the things
that we believe in out to the world and yet still remain profitable? That is the question and this
podcast will give you the answers. My name is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing Secrets.
The first person coming in here is someone I've told their story like five times today.
And I'm assuming I can introduce, am I good to introduce? Okay. Oh, there she is. All right. So
the first person I'm going to officially tell you, I've shared her story a couple of times.
And Stephanie's one of my favorite people like I've met ever. Like she's one of the coolest
people ever. And as I was planning a whole certification program,
going back and forth, I messaged her a couple of questions.
And then she's like,
did you know that I got started going through your certification program
the very first one, ClickFunnels first launch?
I was like, no.
They started telling me the first one, the second.
They told me four or five stories.
I was like, this is insane.
Can you come and tell everyone?
I want everyone to understand this is real.
It's not something you make up or believe,
but this is a real thing.
So Stephanie, first off, thank you for coming on.
How are you doing today?
I'm doing awesome.
I'm super excited to be here.
I can hear your audio on my side.
Make sure my audio is working.
Oh, can you hear me?
Oh, I hear you now.
Yes.
Okay.
Awesome.
I'm doing so good.
I'm so excited to be able to come here and tell my story because it's been absolutely
incredible.
I'm so glad that you're making the time and jumping on here.
So I would love for you to kind of tell, I want to hear a couple of your stories because they're so good.
But there was a time, I don't know, six or seven years ago where you were on a webinar like this when we had the very first, we had a certification program back in the day, you guys.
It hasn't been around for five years.
And you sat here and you listened to this and you had to make the same decision a lot of people are making now.
What was going on in your mind?
I love to hear that. And then like what made you decide to like pull the trigger and jump all in?
Absolutely. So I was so new to this whole world of digital marketing and like brands making new,
I didn't know anything. I just happened to enter this world by a friend who needed some help. And
I am kind of a techie with computers, like physical computers. Like I know how to, you know, build a computer or install Ram, you know, those kinds of things.
And then I found this incredible world and, uh, it came, it happened because of the.com
secrets book funnel, I believe.
And on the backend, I, yes, I remember seeing this video and Russell, you were talking and
you're interviewing people about, um, you know, what had happened in their lives since they had started building funnels. And I was like,
oh my gosh, like, I still remember staring at the screen and kind of feeling almost like the,
uh, like the heat rush on your face, whenever you know that you've happened upon something
that could potentially change your life. And then there was this application process.
And, um, I had no idea about, about any of this stuff before, but there was this application process. And I had no idea about any of this stuff before,
but there was an application process.
So I got in, I gave my heart and soul
in this application process and I got in, you know?
And so I get on the phone with someone at ClickFunnels
and they're starting to tell me, you know,
I think this would be really amazing for you.
What would you do if this was a real thing?
If you could build funnels for people
and it would change your life. And I started thinking about what would you do if this was a real thing? If you could build funnels for people and it would change your life. And I started thinking about what would happen and it would, I knew it would
completely change our lives. Cause at that time I was a homeschooling mom of four. Well, no,
technically three at that time. And, um, my husband was working two jobs. There was no way for him to
go and work another job. There was literally no more time for him to work anymore. And, um, one
of my kids had some learning differences. And so it really wasn no more time for him to work anymore. And one of my
kids had some learning differences. And so it really wasn't an option for me to send my kids
away and like go to corporate and make more money. And I knew it, like, I can't explain. I knew that
I knew that I knew that I needed to be in this program, but the reality was, is we did not have
any money. I didn't even have a thousand dollars to my name, you guys. Like, and then after I get on this call and they're like, you're approved, you can get in the program.
And, um, I was like, wow, that's amazing. Uh, I'm going to have to talk to my husband. Um,
and so we get off the call. I talked to my husband. I'm like, what could we do, babe? Like,
I don't know. Is there anything we could do? And we both decided mutually that at that time in our
lives, it just wasn't right timing to like get a credit card or do anything
like that. And I just felt this sinking feeling going to bed at night. I was like, I'm missing
out on a huge opportunity. And I believe in myself. I know that if I could just get into
this program and get these skills, I know that I could change our stars, right? I know that I could
make a difference in our lives. And
so anyway, I woke up the next morning, it was still just kind of like, ah, flip-flopping in
my mind and my heart. And I had this idea, this epiphany. And, um, I decided, uh, I knew I needed
$10,000. I was like, maybe I myself could figure out, like I could sell some stuff online and I
could get a thousand dollars. And then I had just come in contact. I'd done some work for
some people that I knew, you know, $3,000 would be nothing for them. And so the crazy, I don't
know. I can still, I think back about it now and I'm like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe I did this.
But I wrote this email to three people that I knew. And I said, look, there's this opportunity
and I am not able to help myself get this opportunity. And guys, I've heard things in
the chat already. I saw expensive for an average person. It's way too expensive for someone just starting out.
It looks like I'm going to have to sell my soul. Oh my gosh. Like I can't tell you how much I
understand where you're coming from and what you're saying. Cause I didn't have the money
guys. We were really, really, really, really, really struggling. And so I reached out to these people and I wrote them an email, three people.
And I said, oh, if you, would you be willing to invest $3,000 into me?
And then I will do six months of work for you after I complete this program with what
I learned and I will help you build your business.
And I wrote that email to three people.
And before I knew it, this is the craziest thing.
One of them wrote back and said that he wanted to give the full $10,000.
And I was like, Oh my gosh. Like, I remember I was like shaking. I couldn't believe it.
I was like, this is going to happen. This is really going to happen. I'm going to do this.
This is going to happen. And so I, I, I met up, I got, I got, he wrote me a check for $10,000.
And I can't remember how, how crazy that felt to me.
I had never spent more than maybe, maybe $37 or $47 online
on any kind of learning of anything.
It was beyond me to think about spending
even $1,000 on something online.
And then here I am with this $10,000 check.
I'm gonna go plop it down and give it to Russell Brunson
so I can
build funnels like craziest thing. And it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It changed
our lives. So cool. Now I told a couple of your stories, but I sure didn't tell them as well as
you can. Cause, um, I love to tell the chiropractor, so I kind of mentioned it throughout
the thing, but cause I was one of the first ones you did. Right. And, and how it's the next thing,
the next thing, but I love you to kind of tell that stories. People understand. Cause I know
a lot of them, like, Oh, I don't even dare to sell a funnel, but instead like you went and
got results first. And then like people started coming to you, which is the power of having
success with the funnel. Yeah, no, it was. And it was so much fun because, um, if you are at all
techie and I do believe that you don't actually have to protect you. I've actually taught my
12 year old, my 14 year old, how to build funnels and they're pretty darn good funnel builders.
But the beautiful part was I started out and I did the free funnel and then I started,
and then I started getting paid to build these funnels and run traffic to them.
And before I knew it, I was meeting, you know, getting into these groups and stuff and meeting
all these businesses. And they're like, man, I need a funnel. I need this. I need that. And it was crazy because I could help them. I knew how to help them.
And then furthermore, as I kind of progressed in different areas of what I was learning,
I was able to build funnels for my own business. And that, I think that's when it really clicked
for me that I had gotten a skill that was going to take away a fear that I had had a survival,
you know, of how are we going to make it? What is our, you know, what, what is life going to take away a fear that I had had a survival, you know, of how are we going to make
it? What is our, you know, what, what is life going to look like? You know, like this very
real fear whenever you've experienced real poverty or you've been really bad off. And,
um, and it was so crazy because I remember whenever I realized I can build funnels for
other people as services and I can build them for myself, for my own business
and for courses and things like that, that I want to build for. And I was like, my life is,
I will never have to worry again about how I'm going to be able to make money because I gained
a real skill that is viable and it's not going anywhere. It's not going anywhere. And it's just
been incredible. Um, I love you paying pitch, right? Cause now you have your agency and I don and i don't have any clients you got a bunch of clients over here and you got people now who
you've trained to do the work as well but then over here you launch your own courses you have
like just people understand like i i see all this if you're doing it's like so amazing i know how
many clients you got like you introduced me one of your clients who had a wall maybe you want to
tell that story like that had these walls you help blow up their business and then but then you're
also building your own courses here. Like it's just
so much fun. Like how many cool things you're able to do at the same time, because you have the
skillset. Yes. And that's one really cool thing about what I love because yes, we're talking
about funnel building right now, but Russell over delivers on everything. And so I got into
ClickFunnels certified partner program and I went through all that training and guys, it was so
next level. And I can only imagine now
this is like all these years later, how much more next level this is going to be. So I didn't just
learn funnel building. I learned copywriting. I understood direct response and I got to learn
from the greats and it was absolutely game changing. And so as I have, uh, grown, I've
been able to work with other businesses in order to grow their business. And one specifically, actually there's two wonderful stories, but one is, uh, Joshua
Stevens of Kingsloot. Uh, you know, he came to me and he had this wallet idea and it was a beautiful
wallet. Like I knew I saw it was like, dang, this is, this is awesome. And, uh, he had this wallet
and he was like, I sell these at trade shows, but COVID has shut us down. And I worked with him and
basically he put the last bit he had on his credit card, um, with me for my coaching services. And
we started working together and he started do, I mean, he's incredible. Uh, he got in there and
started going and blowing and we worked on the kind of funnel that he needed to have, what it
needed to look like, what the price points needed to be. We worked on the copy and we worked on all
the different things together.
And let me tell you, he made a million.
Well, I would hold an income claims.
He sold so many wallets.
It could just be absolutely any.
He got a two comic club award.
Let's just say that he got a two comic club award and he may,
he became a rainmaker and, and he's still going and blowing to this day.
He'd get multiple, multiple, multiple two comic club awards now and it was just um from an idea he believed he had a wallet that he wanted to be able to sell and the difference was a funnel yeah literally the difference was a funnel he
tries shopify he tried these other routes got a funnel got the right offer in place got the right
funnel in place and bam two comic club awards coming out the. You are ready to make your funnel builder so cool.
So for anybody who's listening to this
and like, again, we're all three in chat right now.
I feel like so nervous and so scared.
Like, what would you tell someone who's like,
how do I do this right now?
This is a big deal.
Especially like, you know,
the news is telling me the economy is all bad
and there's all these things happening.
Like all the fear, like,
what would you tell someone who like,
in the same spot you were at, you know,
six, seven years ago
when you had to make that same decision?
Yeah, I think when were at, you know, six, seven years ago when you had to make that same decision? Yeah. I think when you know, you know, and I knew that I knew that I knew that I could do this. And
there was a lot of belief that had to take place and to know and to trust and believe myself and
know that I would do the hard work. Cause one thing Russell said, he's not guaranteeing any
success here. It's hard work. You guys, I was, I was homeschooling and I was
doing all this stuff. And let me tell you, there were late nights. There were confusing things.
There were things that I failed at where I really sucked at first, but I got better and I got better
and I got better. And if you know that that's who you are, and if you know that you're going to show
up and you're going to make it happen and you're not gonna let anything stop you, uh, then, you
know, all that fear, it's probably just because you're right on the other side of a really life-changing decision.
Um, you know, everybody has their own things you have to consider whenever you've got a big
decision like this, but I just want to say, Natalie, there was a lady named Natalie in the
comments and she said, round brainstorming ideas on how to make this happen. It is possible.
That's the kind of mindset that you need to have. And then Dominic, he said 10 K for
a career that could easily make you a hundred thousand dollars a year is a no brainer. And
that's just quoting Dominic. But, and then Corey said, this is, this is the time to say, how can I
afford this? And I feel like it's that growth mindset. It's that, um, uh, when, like I said,
when you know that, you know, and you are going to have the belief to step in and do it and you have to just do it afraid. Right. And so I think, I think that
would be the biggest thing. Cause I tell you what, once I bought into the program, I didn't stop
being afraid. I had to keep showing up every day and go after it, even though I was afraid that I
was going to fail. And I, I mean, I'm Enneagram three. I don't know if you got any Enneagram
threes in here, but, um, you know, failure is not fun for me at all. Like it makes you want to run away and scream. Uh, but what
have you put this kind of money on the line and you're ready to change your life and you have the
will and you, and you know, um, you just have to do it afraid. Yeah. What's up everybody. This is
Russell Brunson. I've got something really cool for you today from my friend, Taylor Wells. And
Taylor spoke at our last funnel hacking live. because I wanted him to share a really cool concept about what he calls the revolving pricing
method. And today he decided to sponsor the podcast to give you guys more access to this
super cool strategy that you are going to love. It's something we've been implementing into our
high-end coaching program as well, and it is amazing. But to kind of give you some context
about this offer he's making for you guys, as you may or may not know, a few years ago,
JPMorgan Chase did a study, and guess what they found? They found that the average small business only has about 28 days
of operating expenses in reserve. That's right, less than a month of cash on hands. Now, if you're
like me, the idea of your business being one bad month away from disaster is enough to make your
stomach drop. Am I right? Especially with how the economy's been lately. It's not the time to be
gambling with your finances. So Taylor put together this book called The Revolving Pricing
Method and it's awesome. It helps you turn every client you close into a
long-term profit machine. We're not talking about one-time paydays. We're talking about
creating sustainable and real predictable income for the long haul. Now here's where it gets even
better. Taylor put together an awesome exclusive deal just for you guys, my marketing secrets
listeners. And if you go over to wealthyconsultants.com slash secrets, you can grab the
revolving price method book and over $150 worth of bonuses and get this all. It's at 70% off. And I promise you guys as a customer of
this, you are going to love it. So if you're serious about growing your business with real
stability, this is the model you need to add into your funnels. So go over to wealthyconsultant.com
slash secrets, grab your 70% off deal, and let's start turning your clients into long-term revenue.
Again, that's wealthyconsultant.com slash secrets. Do not miss out. Hey, this is Russell Brunson. And I want to jump
in really quick to share with you a new assessment. I found out that is insanely cool. You guys know,
I'm obsessed with personality profiles and assessments, but this one is different because
not only does it help you to understand yourself, but more importantly, especially for us who are
entrepreneurs, it helps us understand our employees, our teams, and get people sitting
on the right seats in the bus. So you can get more stuff done. I just had a chance to interview
Patrick Lanchoni talking specifically about this new assessment they created called Working Genius.
And the Working Genius is awesome. Like this test, I had actually blocked out an hour to take it
because I was so excited for the new assessment. And it only took me like 10 minutes or less to
get it done. Yet, even though it takes only 10 minutes, like you can actually apply this
immediately. I took it for myself. I had my team take it. And what's cool about it is from
there, we figured out exactly what people's working geniuses are. And that's important
because if you're building a team or a company, you got to figure out, make sure that you have
first off the right people, but make sure the right people are sitting in the right seats on
the bus. And this is what this assessment will teach you how to do. Um, now normally this
assessment, you can go to working genius.com and there's two G's in the middle, workinggenius.com, but I got you a 20% discount on the assessment, which is only $25.
So don't stress. It's not an expensive test at all, but you get a 20% discount off when you put
in the keyword secrets at checkout. So go to workinggenius.com. Again, two G's, workinggenius,
two G's in the middle, workinggenius.com, and then secrets s-e-c-r-e-t-s at
checkout get 25 off uh but then we'll take the test again takes you 10 minutes um but even in
a 10 minute session you will get something that is so insanely valuable to help you understand
yourself to make sure you're working in a spot that's gonna be the most joy number one but then
number two um it's gonna make sure that you are uh with your teams getting them in the right seats
as well so anyway i love this assessment go check it out at workinggenius.com and enter the promo code secrets for 20%
discount. Take this test for yourself and for your team. And I promise you it will change the working
dynamics amongst everybody and help your company to grow. Thank you, Stephanie, so much for being
here and for taking time out of your busy day to share this. I'm just grateful for you coming on
and proud of you. Everything you're doing is like so much fun to watch you from the sidelines and
cheer you on now, which is so cool. So everyone
in the comments down below, if you tell Stephanie, thank you so much for spending time with us and
jumping on here. Her story is amazing. Hopefully you guys are all following her, but she's amazing.
And thank you, Stephanie, again for being part of this. Okay. So I'm going to bring in some more
funnel builders. There's so many ways you can do this. Some people build funnels, they become like
just a one person shop and they just do it themselves. Some people, um, go and they, they blow this thing up and there's
all sorts of different, uh, different things. So I think, uh, let me see who's up next. Uh,
make sure my team, I have a better way to like, to let me know. Uh, um,
is it Steven up next? I see this guy jumping around outside my windows. All right.
We're going to have Steven come in.
Steven Larson is here in the office today.
Steven, come on in.
What's up, dude?
I told you to jump in front of the window, so I was jumping up and down.
Hey, what's up, everybody?
He's in Boise, so I was like, do you want to come jump on Zoom or do you want to come into the office?
And he's like, next thing you know, he's knocking on the door.
Yeah.
Love funnel building.
All right.
So I want to share some of your story like live on
the thing but um a lot of you guys now you're out of shape for doing jumping jacks yeah they breathe
for a second um but a lot of people see you and they see that when two comic book awards you've
launched like a dozen products you got high ticket stuff and like you're doing the whole game but
that's not where you got started i think that a lot of times we we confuse like the the finish
line with the beginning and i'd love for you to share the story in the beginning because you use this skill set to leverage everything from like plane tickets to to like
everything and i like computer out there funny enough is still the one i traded for funnels
years ago oh serious yeah it's still the same thing like all i was telling in the chat like
my stuff is all funnels like we just ask how can i ride a swimming pool that very same thing and
just from the first certification program i just keep using that so yeah I couldn't afford ClickFunnels either when I first started.
And not, not even the certification, you couldn't afford ClickFunnels, like
the dollar trial to the $97 a month. Yeah, there was nothing. We were so broke. I was living on
student loans, negative cashflow in college. And there's this thing called a two week trial. And I
was like, Ooh, if I asked rich people questions,
and I was a huge Robert Kiyosaki nut, you know,
and he said, how can I afford it?
So I was like, okay, I can't get ClickFunnels,
or I felt like that.
And so I was like, how could I afford that?
And that two-week trial right there,
we decided that the week before,
I would funnel hack like crazy
and follow your process to the T.
And then after that, oh, a little closer to the mic, sorry.
A little closer to the mic. There we go. Thanks. And so I, during week zero, if you will,
we went and we planned the entire funnel and put it out there. And then I pressed go on that two week trial and week number one, we built the funnel and the week number two, we focused on
sales so that week number three was paid for by the customer and it worked. And that's how I got
it. But it taught me, oh my gosh, like look at the power of that. And so with the certification
program, when that came up, I was like, same kind of thing I'm seeing on some of you guys in the
chat. You're like, ooh, I'm nervous. Ooh, I'm scared. Ooh, I can't do this. Like lean into that.
That's actually, if you will, the universe or God or whatever, right? Telling you and nudging you,
if you feel that like, hey, it's time to go so uh yeah i couldn't afford even going to funnel hacking live so i traded funnels for plane
tickets certification wasn't a thing then i just read dot com secrets it was like huh like you guys
have so much more stuff than i ever had it's just the whole way through just push push push push how
hard you want it's life so yeah it's been really really powerful it's so cool i love like a like a
so you said tickets for funnel like in live plus like plane
tickets and like what other things just kind of people understand like we have the skill set like
you have the ability to barter anything right like yeah there's so many cool things like even
it's not cash like i use it to barter like i want to get to know like a tony robbins like i'm going
to trade funnels for like access to cool people but like people understand like the skill set is
not just cash there's so many things you can you can it opens up so many doors it opens up so many doors like my truck uh click funnels house
we said we want that house we can't afford that yet down payment's big what can i do we literally
threw a funnel out the door guess what we wrote our own house does that make sense like the whole
everything the whole way through has been and when i'm like oh we got to get closer to that person or
this person we'll just figure out what type of funnel to do for them and just kind of open the door and get their noise out
there that way. But do you guys understand like the skillset that you're learning here with this
is a widely needed skillset in the entire marketplace. A lesson my dad actually taught
me, he was like, Hey, if you want to be, you know, a little bit recession proof, you want to be on
the right side of business at all times, here's some advice. And I was like, Ooh, all ears. And
he said, try to find ways to be on the revenue generating side of a company at all times. If stuff goes bad,
who do you think they look at to cut first? Not the revenue generators, right? And what you're
learning here is a revenue generating skillset that brings leads and or sales in at all times.
And there's not a company in the world that doesn't need that. And,? And I think I'm on product 57 now.
So I keep telling people,
like, understand this vulnerability skill,
because some people,
they want to launch their own course,
their own product,
their own thing, right?
But it's hard,
because the first time you're going through it,
you have to learn,
like launch product,
you have to learn how to create a product,
how to source it,
how to do traffic.
There's so many different variables. And so you're trying to do that, source it, how to do traffic. Like there's so many different variables.
And so you're trying to do that plus learning funnel building, plus copywriting.
There's like so many things.
Whereas if you focus on funnel building first, you have a chance to learn the most important piece of the puzzle in just that.
Right?
Like you go work with somebody who already has traffic.
They already have a product.
They already have customer support.
You're coming in and just doing the one piece.
You do that.
They do all the rest.
And you blow up the company.
And then like you get better and better at that. And eventually, like you said, it's like you're back to where into the digital economy.
Now it's like, now I've got a skill set, now I'm going to plug in my own product, now I
can do my own thing, and now, like I said, you've done 50 something products since then
because you've got the skill set so well.
Well, what's interesting, too, is, like, that's actually how I got my first funnel building
clients, like, for this, was, I was like, all right, I don't have my own product yet,
right, at that time.
I was like, I don't have my product, I've to learn traffic. Ooh, I got it all. All this stuff
that's really kind of scary. Um, and I was like the shortest distance to success funny enough is
by learning with another company. So I just started, I made a list of all my dream customer
criteria and I was like, this is who I'm going to go try and go after. And I just, uh, uh, started
emailing him and saying, Hey, I know you don't know what a funnel is, but I'll build the one.
If it works, can I get paid? If not, it's on my dime.
And they're like, sure.
And that's actually how I got the first one.
Literally great sales pitch of all time.
I'm going to build you a funnel.
If it makes $0, pay me zero.
But if it makes money, I just want half of it
or whatever it is.
Yeah, well, that's actually how I started
getting to your events was like,
that was the pitch.
And when it started working, I was like,
hey, how about I might be getting paid?
You know what?
Just buy me a ticket to that guy's event.
I'm like, serious? I was like, yeah, yeah. Give me the getting paid? You know what? Just buy me a ticket to that guy's event. I'm like, serious?
I was like, yeah, yeah.
Give me the hotel nights.
Serious?
Yeah, yeah.
And I just, the whole way.
Need a new computer, really?
Yeah.
And I just have been bartering the whole way
with this whole thing.
So it's a powerful skillset.
Lean into it.
If it sucks, so?
Let's just do it.
Okay, so last question for you, Steven,
and then we'll next guest.
Someone's sitting there on the fence
and you just flew their house
and you're talking to them like,
what would you say to push them over the edge to understand like this is something
they need to be doing in their life you're going to learn a business function that makes you pretty
much lethal in the entire business world but give time and space for the fact that you're going to
get frustrated of course there's going to be work you're going to have to sell yourself you're going
to have to learn how to build the funnel piece you're going to have to and that's okay that's
just part of the whole thing but i would tell people that realize that what you're about to go through would be so life transforming.
How could you expect to not try to get good?
And the marketplace is going to pay you a lot of money.
I try not to say dollar amounts.
Marketplace is going to try and tell you, well, are you really worth that amount?
Which means you're going to have to get good.
And this is the shortest distance to success ever, though, I've seen is this program because it teaches you, hey, this, now this.
Here's how to think.
Here's how to get clients.
You got to sell yourself.
And it stacks on one piece, though.
So he's already given you the guarantee.
He's already given you that.
So just take him up on it.
That's what I originally did as well.
And I was like, OK, if he says there's a money back thing, money back thing, here you go.
And I went and did it.
And we just plowed forward.
So you got nothing to lose.
So awesome.
Except some regrets.
Awesome. See you guys. Thanks, Steve. Appreciate it. And comment down below. Tell Steven,
thank you so much for coming, hanging out. I'll probably go buy it again.
It's time to get recertified. Let's go. Oh, thank you so much, Steven. All right. For all you guys,
like again, hopefully you're feeling the energy. You're seeing this, like this is the real thing.
People are doing this all over the place. The people you're seeing online right now,
all over the place, they've gone through this program
or they understand this process of building funnels.
Again, down below there's a link wherever.
Go to funnelbuilder.com slash go.
That's where you can get started.
As soon as you're ready, it is time to go do it.
All right, next up.
Oh, Jeff.
Next up is Jeff Vanek.
How are you doing, man?
First off, good to see you.
It's been a long time.
There you are.
How's it going, man?
What's up, man?
I am doing amazing.
I'm so honored and happy to be here right now and this offer is so freaking cool i cannot believe that you made it so inexpensive for people oh they we want to get
people in there which is awesome so those are no jeff jeff is jeff uh nickname for a long time the
funnel doc and also this is one of the coolest things so we launched click funnels and i remember
one day like we're doing all of our thing and also one day um someone posts like they got a tattoo of click funnels on there jeff tattooed click funnels to
his arm which is crazy so he's got funnel he's got uh he's got a funnel hacker tattoo this is
not fake it's been there for how many four five years now that's amazing and you see
i want to i want you to tell people because you kind of went through similar experience like
you came in you started learning stuff you got really good at marketing and sales
understanding this but then the way you had your first initial success was building funnels for
other people you want to talk about what happened and kind of the the process and again for everyone
like we tried out to an income claim so he's not talking about money or anything but just
understand like he's having insane amounts of success doing this i love you kind of tell that
story yeah a lot of people don't know um one of the things that we did is I was originally making fun for other businesses. I would literally go
around and create funnels. I'd go in a business with a template funnel already made, like,
and I just go outside and I literally would change the name of the business and go into
the next business. And then if that one didn't work, then I go into the next business and I
just change it up for whatever it is for their certain um whatever type of business was whether doctor or dentist or whatever and that's
what i think people need to understand that like you can figure out how to make this happen you
just have to be willing to put in the effort that's so cool you just imagine that like you
pre-build the funnel and then like jump in your car and drive from store they come to come to
like edit real quick and then driving like hey i got a funnel for a funnel for you. Do you want to pay me for it?
Literally, that's what we did to get started when we first set our agency.
And literally when we launched our agency
the first 30 days,
we were able to get this program twice.
Let's just say that.
Literally, all I would do is I'd go on a laptop.
I'd go into the funnel.
I'd change out the headline.
I'd change out a couple of images
so it matched whatever the business was,
whether dentist, doctor, whatever it is.
And I'd walk in and explain it to them and then i'd say hey look if you're willing to put in like half whatever i decided to charge and we were only charging like two grand
or two i don't know what you said we were charging a small amount back then um but you know with this
program i only needed five people to be able to get in the program yeah it's so cool now um it's
interesting because i remember when I first started seeing you,
like you were like,
we have most of you guys who are on here should probably know we have a
click phones community and click phones communities got,
you know,
now it's like 250,000 people in there and you were in there and it was
interesting.
Cause there's always people that are like trying to sell services and
trying to be all slick.
We have to ban them all the time.
And you were in there and you just started serving and giving and helping
and sharing.
And like,
you were just like one of the most useful people in the group.
And pretty soon everyone's like, man, this Jeff guy is really
helpful, man. He's really useful. He's giving me all these ideas. And then like people start
just flooding to you. I don't think I ever saw you even pitching or anything. You're just like
serving and helping. And then people start coming to you. Is that correct?
Yeah. That was the amazing thing is I figured out the best way to serve the community and learn the
most about funnels and everything was to just give as much value as I could. And then one day this guy, Kevin David,
winded up putting in the group
that he needed help with his funnels.
And because I'd been providing so much value,
everyone just started tagging me,
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.
He's the guy, he's the guy, he's the guy.
So I met with this guy and long story short,
that led to this first award,
which we did in 57 days,
which at the time was the fastest anyone
had won a ClickFunnels award at that time.
So cool. So cool, man. Well, it's been fun watching your success.
And obviously you've done it with building funnels for other people.
You've done your own funnels. Like again, after you have the skillset,
there's so many ways that, that you can use it. I'm curious for you,
like anyone who's listening to right now, who's sitting on fence,
like, should I do this? Should I not?
Like what would you tell them to kind of push them over the edge?
You know, it's scary. Okay. When you make an investment in yourself like this, it's definitely
scary, but that is you telling yourself and have to go all in. You don't necessarily need to get
a tattoo, but making this commitment is the first step to being able to change your life
and have a business that can affect others. That is the greatest thing that I've got from this is
not the money I made, but the people I've been able to impact and change their lives and have businesses that have grown.
I mean, it's literally a dream come true to have been able to develop this skill. And every time
I see Russell, I thank him so much for just changing my life and teaching me all the wonderful
skills that he has, because this literally is a skill that you can have forever. I mean,
this literally, it's, think about, the internet's not going away, people. The internet's not going
anywhere. So you can learn to market and adapt and change and be able to grow no matter what
happens. And that is the key with this. You have to be able to, willing to go all in,
take that risk, you know, jump off that ledge. Because if you always just dip your toe in just a
little bit, you're never going to succeed. You got to go all in. And that's one of the things is make
the commitment, take that first step. Maybe you just do one of the first payments just to see
what it's like to try it out. But if you don't even take that first step to try it out, you're
never going to know if you could be successful and you're going to be stuck where you are. That's
the thing that will not change.
If you don't change anything about your life, nothing in your life will change.
Awesome, man.
With Smartwater's pure crisp taste, there's nothing to overthink.
So while you may be spiraling over double texting your crush,
whether your skincare routine is working because you look the same or is doing
nothing because you look the same and is doing nothing because you look the same.
And whatever the heck red light therapy is, it's definitely not bad.
Don't overthink how you hydrate.
Life's full of choices.
Smart water is a simple one.
Jeff, I appreciate you jumping on.
I know that you're super busy.
And for all the people, everyone who's listening to this,
I just messaged a bunch of people I know at Building Funnels.
I'm like, do you mind jumping on and just letting people know your story?
And some people jumped on like, yes, I'll tell my story.
I'll tell my story.
Because they all know how it affects and how it changes their life
and how it can affect your guys' life as well.
So thank you so much, man, for taking time out of your busy day and jumping in.
For everyone who's listening, again, if you haven't yet,
go to funnelbuilder.com slash go.
Go get started.
Get in there. And then you can do the same thing Jeff's doing, building funnels you haven't yet, go to funnelbuilder.com slash go. Go get started. Get in there.
And then you can do the same thing Jeff's doing, building funnels for other people, learning the skill set.
And then you've got the skill set to do whatever you want moving forward after that.
So thank you, Jeff, so much for hanging out, man.
I appreciate you.
Thanks, brother.
Appreciate it.
Very cool.
All right.
You guys loving this?
You having fun so far?
Let Jeff know down in the comments down below.
Say thank you, Jeff, so much for hanging out.
Thank you for sharing time with us.
And yes, the fact you got a tattoo is still crazy to me, but I love it. All right. Our next guest just popped in here.
This is the first time I've officially hung out with you. So I'm excited to talk to you. But again,
we reached out to people, some people who we know are building funnels and said, look,
tell us your story. And Andrea reached out and told us her story. I was like, oh, it'd be so
cool if she'd be willing to share. And so first off, thank you so much for jumping on and sharing your story with everyone. How are you feeling today?
Good. Hi, Russell. Thanks for having me. I so appreciate being here.
Yeah, so glad. So I would love for you, again, I know your story, but I'd love for you to kind
of tell people your story and this whole funnel building journey, kind of where you came from and
how you got into it and like what you're doing right now. I'd love to hear it.
Yeah. Okay. So I spent 18 years in corporate America as an experienced designer.
And so I was highly educated and highly had all this experience in the corporate world.
And I had gone from research and development and all the way up to VP level. And I just,
I was tired of the corporate and the rules and the, all that navigating. And so I was like,
I'm going to go be an entrepreneur. I had no idea what I was doing. So I came away and what most people do when they're in my type
of role is they become a consultant. So I was like, sure, I'm going to go start my consultancy
agency. So for two years, I tried to become a consultant and go into the agencies or the
companies I was working in before, but it was just going back to the same. I was back in corporate again. And even though I was had my own business, not really,
I kept going back into corporate. And so I was like, Oh my gosh, how am I going to do this?
And so I, at that time, my severance was completely gone. And so I was like, but I was
so determined. I was like, I am going to make something of my own. I don't know what it is, but it has to be of my own making. So I was driving Lyft during the day and I was making
deli sandwiches at night. And the only thing I could do during that time was to listen.
And so I was just consuming, like, how do people do this? I don't know. And so I was listening and
I was actually in another program and your voice came across. And I remember it so distinctly because I was making a ham and brie Dijon sandwich and like, I'm like, you know, judged
on performance, like how fast I can make sandwiches. But you came across and I think it was the
beginning of right before you launched Funnelology. And so you were talking about this and I'm
like, who is this guy? Like, what is he talking about? This is amazing. And so from that point forward,
every single night I would just consume like everything you had. So traffic secrets,
efforts of secrets, um, dot com secrets, like everything. And I was like, okay,
I think this is the way. And so I joined one funnel challenge in November of 2019.
By January, I was like, I have to get the funnel hacking live. So I used all of my
corporate points that I had accumulated in the past year for rental and hotel and flight.
And I had like $10 a day to like on food and I'm kind of a coffee fiend. So I had to get my coffee.
So, and I went to funnel hacking live and I'm sitting in the back and I'm just consuming,
consuming, consuming. I'm like, yes, this is it. And then you open the door for two CCX and
you said we couldn't pay. We didn't have to pay for 30 days or something crazy like that.
I was like, I have no idea how this is going to do this, but this is it. And just like took the
leap of faith and went in. And I was also, uh, because I was on $10 a day, I was also hungry
and you were promising a lunch and I was like, okay, but the coolest part is that when I went down in that very first lunch,
I had even remember the people who were at my table were a testament to the ClickFunnels
community that I was about to come into.
They were so welcoming, so warm.
They were trying to do these crazy things that a single person should never think that
they should be able to do.
And I was like, oh my gosh, this is amazing.
So I went back home.
I found another community within the ClickFunnels community
that helped me connect my design background
with your funnel strategy and ClickFunnels.
And I got my first client and it was a membership build.
So and every single client I've had since actually,
it's been a membership build plus funnels.
And so I just started building. And some of, I was like, Stephanie, I just built for
free, like put it into the ClickFunnels official group. And I'm like, I'll do anything. Let's go.
So, um, and, uh, so I started building and of course I sucked just like what Garrett was saying,
but, um, kind of a testament to what you're saying in terms of when you land
and you make this decision is that I think I ended up calling your support team about three times a
day, every day for a month. They knew me all by first name. I would send them messages. Like it
was, it was, yeah, we went back. But they helped me and no matter what it was, no matter how many
times I called about the same thing,
they were all in and anything I could do to be successful.
And so fast forward now, I have an agency.
I have 4 people on my team that I get to work with who are around the world.
And we get to just build amazing things for our customers.
We specialize in membership builds and funnels.
And I have 4 people that I contract with on a regular basis.
And I just was able to invest in this program. So it's just, it's afforded me an amazing thing,
but I think even more important, and then I'll, and then I'll step off. And that is,
I, for the first time in my entire life have built a system that I'm proud of,
of a community that I'm proud to be a part of. And it's of my own making. And I get to work with
people that are my people. So ClickFunnels helped me find my people. And so I'm just forever grateful
and happy to be here. So cool. Thank you so much for sharing that. And I hope people understand
because like there's, again, you didn't have to go master 20 funnel types. It's like you got really
good at memberships, which is there's so much need for that. You became amazing at it. You like bugged
our support until like you perfected. Now you're mastered it. And now like, like now you know what you know what you just can do it over and over and over again
right and then networking the side of communities gets to know people and like all the different
pieces that um that are part of this so ah so awesome um well thank you for sharing that story
for anyone who's like who's sitting here listening to you like ah should i do this like what would
you tell them to like push them off the edge um i would say it yes it is trusting your gut like
others have said and taking that leap
of faith. But I will also say that on the other side, the support community, ClickFunnels has
never, ever let me down. It is, they have always been there in one way or another, whether it be
ClickFunnels or the community that surrounds it, it, I can't think of a better community to come
into and take that leap of faith into. Yeah. So cool. Well,
thank you so much for jumping on.
I appreciate you.
Everyone in the comments down below,
tell Andrew,
thank you so much for hanging out with us today and sharing her story with you guys.
Again,
my biggest goal is I want to give you guys belief that this works.
It does work.
It's worked for me.
It's worked for Andrew.
It's worked for Jeff.
It's worked for Steven.
It's worked for Stephanie.
It's worked for every,
and it can work for you as well,
which is the big key.
So if you haven't yet,
you guys,
now is the time.
Write it down.
Go to funnelbuilder.com slash go
to get started.
Go get signed up and jump in the program.
The coolest thing about this again is
obviously a lot of you guys are going to go
and pay $10,000 up front
but this is the first time
and you know me,
I don't do payment plans ever.
I'm against them.
But this is the first time
we're doing a payment plan
where you can get started
for a couple thousand dollars,
get in there,
start going through the training,
start building something
and then from there
you can start having success
which is so awesome.
All right, my next two guests are here.
I'm so excited for my next two guests
because they actually are a big part of the program.
You guys, like no one knows about yet.
But Mike and AJ are two of my friends
who have been inside my inner circle now
for seven or eight years.
I don't even know when you first came in,
but at the very beginning of ClickFunnels,
they came in, I could hang out with them
a couple times a year, see them.
And they were the ones who actually invented
a new funnel type.
And they brought it to me and now it's the concept of a funnel hub. I'll talk more
about that, but it's literally the foundation of ClickFunnels 2.0 is based on their concepts and
their principles inside the certification. We talk about this and they've made insane amounts of
money doing a lot of things, but also like I have an agency building out funnel hubs for people.
They build out a funnel hub for me. They charge me like retail price. I had to pay a ton of money
for mine and other people. They kind of perfected this model of, of a funnel hub for me. They charge me retail price. I had to pay a ton of money for mine and other people.
They kind of perfected this model of a funnel hub.
But Mike and AJ, how are you guys doing today?
Well, as they're coming on, as they're playing with the audios, recently we put together
a really cool program with Mike and AJ called the Funnel Hub Launchpad.
And just so you guys know, we license it.
So every single one of you guys who are inside of the Funnel Builder training program, this
is like an unadvertised bonus.
You also get access to the Funnel Hub Launchpad, which is all the training about how they pitch, how they sell, how they create, all that kind of stuff as well as an unadvertised
bonus that we're going to get as well. And hopefully we'll get the audio working so we
can have them tell you their story as well. You can tell us on my side or if it's on your guys'
side. Well, I will tell you what they were going to say. Had they, had the audio been able to work over here? Um, some of you guys know,
I had them speak at funnel hacking the first time, two years ago, uh, to kind of present this
principle and this concept of a funnel hub that no one had ever seen before. They, there was
something that, um, that, that, um, it was a concept, kind of like a website, but it was a
different way to do website. It was completely different. And they pitched me on it.
Um,
I signed up and,
and,
uh,
and went for it.
And then they went and they,
uh,
started building for a whole bunch of other people as well after that.
And,
um,
and it was awesome.
So they told me,
uh,
we're going to go to another person.
We'll come back to Mike and AJ.
Hopefully we'll get the audio stuff figured out.
Um,
okay.
So Mike and AJ,
we'll be back in a second.
We're going to pull the next panelist.
Somebody has,
we're figuring out whatever's happening.
And we're going to have Dave Arsarno come up next.
And while they're pulling Dave up,
so I wanted Dave to come
because Dave's got an interesting story.
He came through the very first
funnel builder certification program we ever did
way back in the day.
And some people just, you know,
they'll have a small team do a couple of funnel builds
and they do that till they launch their own thing.
But Dave went all in.
He's built like an amazing agency.
They do big high-end clients. They do like, anyway, like every time someone comes in,
like I'm looking for someone to build like really high expensive, like big, huge funnel builds and
stuff like that and business growth things. Dave's who I always send them to. And so I'm excited to
have Dave here though, because he was here at the very beginning, the very first time we ever did
something like this. So Dave, I know you've been in a mastermind meeting, jumped out to jump on
with everybody. How are you doing, man? I'm doing awesome.
How are you?
Doing so good.
Thank you so much for jumping on here.
I'd love for you to tell people your story because you had an agency ahead of time.
And the very first Phonetic Live ever, we first introduced the original certification program.
You jumped all in.
I'm curious why you did it and then what kind of happened because of that.
Well, first of all, thank you for having me here.
It's truly an honor.
And for people who are brand new, and I was watching the chat roll, you cannot go wrong.
And I can tell you this because I joined Russell's Category Kings inner circle, and it's not an inexpensive investment. And my wife said, anything you've done with Russell ClickFunnels,
it pays for itself more than 10 times over. So
everyone, if you're thinking about it, find a way. And so I was at the first Funnel Hacking Live
and I wasn't even a customer. In fact, I think I was one of the only people in the room that didn't
even know what the heck ClickFunnels was, except I had a client of mine say they wanted to use it.
And so I started doing some research and I found
out about, you know, funnel hacking live. So I actually got my client to pay for a ticket for
me to go there, to learn about it so I could use it for them. Now you made an offer for certification
and I said, you know what, if I loved, I loved everything that you said, and I wanted to,
anything that I do, I need to know everything about it.
I need to know how to do it the best I possibly can.
So that way I can serve the people that I need to serve at the highest level possible.
So that's why I signed up.
Now, one of the things that, because I got to put it on a credit card,
anything that I invest in, I say, how can I make it pay for itself in the next 30 days? So I went out and sold a client, I mean, plain and simple. So if any of you want to put it on a
credit card, it gives you automatically 30 to 45 day grace period, go sell a client,
make it pay for itself. I mean, the, the, and by the way, I'm going to let you know the answer
you ask everyone. I already bought it again and I don't even need to buy it again. That's so cool.
That's so cool. That's so cool.
So when you bought it, I'd love to know, because again, funnels weren't a thing you had in your agency.
Because you had an existing agency.
And then after that, you were able to start adding this in.
How did that affect your – anyone who's got an agency who's listening is like, should I do this?
I'd love to know how that affected your agency moving forward after that.
Well, it changed everything.
I mean, you know, you know, today that we're significantly larger than we were before. I mean,
my, I've got a team of over 30 people and I've got five full-time funnel builders on my team
that this is what we do for clients. So joining, joining your program and becoming part of your
world changed my business. And in turn, it really changed my life more than I can ever imagine and express gratitude
because I started thinking everything in funnels and I started communicating with clients in
funnels.
And once I started getting ingrained in this world, the right people started coming to
us.
And yes, I didn't charge a lot of money.
We do charge a lot.
And I see that no one's saying what the numbers are, but it has a lot of zeros on it in our average
client lifetime value. And so to me, it's a no brainer to do this because I mean,
whether it's getting someone in the beginning, getting someone off the ground and helping them
get their dreams, helping them realize their dreams. You get to be part of it by becoming part of ClickFunnels.
And if you choose to get certified, you have an opportunity to change people's lives. And when
they look back and it's not just ClickFunnels that they're going to remember, they're going
to remember you as the catalyst and the part that helped shape and help them realize their dreams.
Yeah. So cool, man.
It's been so much fun watching you.
And I think what's interesting that you do that.
I love people understand this as well as someone will come in and you build a funnel for them,
but then that person's your client.
You don't just like build a funnel and put them on their way.
Like you get deep in their business.
You have like hiring and from this and from that.
And like, and so you help take these companies and really, really grow them into these huge
organizations.
And what's cool about it is that because you serve them with a funnel first,
then they trust you with these other things and you sell other services and other products.
And like, and so you're able to grow where a funnel building client's not just worth,
you know, this much money ends up being worth this much over time because
how deep and how well you serve these people.
I've seen you do it over and over and over again,
but I love you'll understand that psychology in your mind.
It's just like the funnel literally is like the front end of you bringing someone in,
serve them.
And then there's so much more you can do after that.
What are some other services you offer people just to understand like what's possible after
you've served someone once?
Like what else they're looking for?
Sure.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
We, we help our clients with everything, whether it's, I mean, we, we manage millions of dollars
a month in paid traffic.
So we, we do everything from the lead generation to the conversion to writing their sales scripts.
Obviously, you know,
but I have a background and my team has background in sales. We were Tony and Chet's top closing
speakers. So we do everything from the scripting to helping them. And then out of this, and frankly,
being part of this community, we started looking through the problem articulation framework and
saying, when we solve a problem, what's the next problem that we create? And well, once a client goes to a certain level, we don't want them to have to rely on us
forever. I know some of them want to, and I've had clients now for over a decade.
And those who don't, we will then, we created a nitrogen hiring network. So we'll hire their
superstar team. And then for those who want their team trained, we have the infinite scaling system,
which we will then help train their team on the frameworks that we utilize within our company so they can have their own internal superstar marketing team to help them scale and grow.
So the idea is, yes, some people sometimes come in the front end for a funnel, but the clients who we tend to work with are ones who are really looking to build, scale, and grow, and then maybe even exit down the road and us helping be part of that plan to help them do that.
So hopefully, first of all, thank you for sharing that.
But I want you guys all thinking through that.
Like funnel is just one thing
and there's other products and services.
And like you grow with a client and your revenue grows
and like their success grows
and it just becomes this amazing, fun process.
And you get to work with the coolest people
from all around the world and it's just awesome.
But anyway, Dave, thank you so much for being part of this,
for jumping on.
I know you're in the middle of a mastermind.
You jumped out just to share with everybody,
so thank you for sharing your time.
Everyone in the comments down below,
tell David thank you so much for hanging out with us.
Appreciate you and man,
can't wait to see you at our next mastermind meeting.
I'll see you soon, thanks.
Thanks so much, man.
All right, so fun.
You guys getting this?
You guys see how exciting this is?
These people are doing this full time.
This is their career, this is part of it
and something could be happening for you as well. So again, if you haven't yet, go to
funnelbuilder.com slash go and let's become a funnel builder. We've talked over and over and
over again. You guys are funnel builders. Now it's time to jump in and be part of this. Make this
your identity. Make this your career and master the skill set. All right, next up, we've got
someone else. This is someone who, again, when we first launched certification program, came into
our world. I had a chance to meet her and now I've been watching her for probably, I don't even know how long it's like seven, eight years
now doing this as a career for herself, for other people. Her name is Amanda Dake. Amanda,
thank you so much for jumping on and being part of this and sharing your story. How are you feeling
today? Hey, I'm great. Thanks for having me. So excited to be here. I haven't seen you for years,
like in person. So it's fun to reconnect and talk. And I love all the funnel drawings on the background of like, I feel like in your office, this is so great.
Yeah. Well, we tell people, tell your story about this whole thing, how you came into this world of
funnel building and what you've been doing with it. Just people understand kind of, uh, the
progression for you as well. Well, I won't go back too far. Uh, but I was a high school science teacher for 12 years and a tennis coach. And then in 2011,
I decided I could not do that anymore. I had two young sons and teachers don't make a lot of money
and it takes a lot of time and energy. So I really just ventured out on my own back then and found
ClickFunnels through a client that I was working
with, just doing some social media management. Okay. So remember, I was a science teacher,
all this tech stuff, I, whoops, self-taught. Okay. So I just kind of had to jump in and figure stuff
out. Because when I left my career, I had no plan. I just knew it wasn't going to be that anymore.
So back in about 2014, ClickFunnels, I think was beta and very beginning. And I started using it
thanks to Garrett White and a couple of other people. So I hadn't come across you yet, Russell.
I just was using the software. I had no idea who you were. And then you started following me around the internet with your book. And then I got the book.
And then you held your first Funnel Hacking Live in Las Vegas in 2015. So I took the leap.
I bought a ticket to Vegas. I'd never been there before. I'd never been to any kind of conference before,
you know, being in education, we're just kind of in our own little bubble.
So I just said, I just said yes. And I went, you offered certification there for the very first
time. And I was very reluctant at the time. It was a big investment for me coming out of
education world, just trying to make things work. Before
Russell and Funnel Hacking Live and certification, I was charging three figures for anything that I
would do. I'll just say that. It was not much, but I had to do what I could do with the skills
that I had. So coming into certification, it was a big sacrifice,
not only financially, but even with time. I remember that my biggest hurdle, aside from
the investment at the time, was I was going to miss my son's first day of middle school.
But I went ahead and went for it, And I am so grateful that I did.
So fast forward seven years, and we're here now.
My business has transformed my life, my kids' lives, and the lives of thousands of others that I've been able to help along the way.
So cool.
I'm curious, what was the first, like, after you went through the program and you're like, okay, I'm going to do a funnel, but like the first, like, how did you find your first client? What was the first, after you went through the program
and you're like, okay, I'm going to do a funnel,
but how did you find your first client?
What was the first process like?
I know that's the scary thing for people.
I do the training, but then,
that next step is the scary one.
Do you remember that?
I don't exactly remember how the clients started coming in,
but I do know that my roster was full really fast. I think 12 was my limit. And that was,
I can't even imagine working with 12 clients now, but it was full very fast. And another thing that
changed was, well, there's a lot of things, but I had so much confidence with the support from
ClickFunnels, from you, Russell, from the other people that were
in the certification program. Uh, in fact, many of the people, even Dave, that was on right before me,
we are such close friends, even today, uh, they have become more than just, you know, people that
I went through a program with. We, uh, communicate with each other often. We kind of have our own
huddle. We didn't call it that, but now that's exactly what it is. We brainstorm together.
It's become, I don't want to use the word family because I feel like that's a little
cliche with what it is, but we have become such a close-knit group and have stayed active together
building businesses and fostering friendships, you know, fostering
friendships, watching our families grow up. And, uh, it's been, it's just been so wonderful.
So cool. Um, it's interesting because when you got started seven years ago, it was,
it was like funnels weren't like a big thing back then. It was like, it was this awkward thing that
I might try. Funnels are amazing. And I try to make noise nowadays, seven years later, it's just,
it's become so big, but even back then when it was small and you were in the very beginning very first people you had 12 clients
like that fast and i want people to understand i'm talking about biggest opportunity how crazy
and how much stuff is like like what's your like how hard would it be to get if you needed 12
clients tomorrow like how hard would it be to like open up the gates and like oh there's 12 people
that are ready like there's you know There are people everywhere on almost every social media channel that need help.
And they're out there actively asking for it
and looking around.
So not only just in networking yourself
and being active and doing some basic things online
to promote yourself,
now being a part of certification,
you're gonna be on that marketplace,
which is a massive,
massive opportunity. Because when people come to ClickFunnels now to ask for help,
while they may still post in the main Facebook group, they now have a more trusted place to go
to find someone that actually has the skill set and the experience to get them where they want to go. And so being on the marketplace is
of huge benefit whenever it comes to, you know, finding your clients or your clients finding you,
which is even better. So it's more of an inbound kind of process instead of you having to do
outreach all of the time. So that to me is that's super, super huge, especially if you're more of an introvert.
Like I'm pretty introverted, kind of kind of like you, Russell, like I can put it out there when I need to.
But typically I'm introverted. And so for me to do any kind of outreach or I was so uncomfortable with that. the ability to people to come to me as the expert, as a recognized expert,
that was super helpful for me and propelling my business forward.
So cool.
All right.
Last thing,
any other,
any other things people are sitting on the fence thinking about,
what would you tell them if you were like,
you grabbed them?
Like,
what would you tell them?
So I'll tell you exactly what the person next to me at funnel hacking live in las vegas in 2015
said to me whenever i was on that fence and i just could not take that leap by myself she
grabbed me by my shoulders and she said just do it just do it just do it and so there i did it
we're virtually grabbing all you guys by the shoulders saying just do it

Someone who I've had a chance to get to know in one of our other coaching programs.
He's part of it and jumps on every week.
We get to share and brainstorm ideas on funnels.
And it's also someone who has been making a career building funnels for other people.
And so, Dom, how are you doing today, man?
What's up, Russell? What's up, everybody. So good to see you. So tell us,
tell everybody your story with this, because I know you've done things in the past, but what was it that helped you like get in this world and start building funnels for other people?
Yes, sir. So I have learned always do what Russell says. So I'm going to break this down to a hook,
a story, and then the offer. So here we go. Here's the hook. How I went from eating dog food and massaging people's hairy
backs and butts to making ends meet to building out funnels for hip hop celebrities. Okay,
I messed that up a little bit. I'm a little nervous. All right. So this is a little bit
from my story of when I nailed my first two comma club. And I want to read a little bit about this to you guys so you guys get the timeline.
So I literally was so broke at one point in my life that I had to eat dog food to get by.
Five years ago, I had to move back in with my parents at age 30,
where I took a job as a massage therapist and listened to Russell Brunson on audio
while massaging hairy backs and butts.
You know, sometimes you got to do it. Three years ago,
I was over $500,000 in debt, and I'm not talking about a mortgage. Two years ago,
I was sued by four different creditors that came and served me papers at my door, like knocked,
like, it's time to pay us, buddy. While I was living in a basement unit for $400 a month,
watching someone's cats for reduced rent. Financial stress destroyed multiple
relationships in my life. I used to work 16 and 18 hour days trying to make a difference as a
marketer for a nonprofit, but always felt like I was coming up short and burned out. And I vowed
to never do that to myself again. But being in that much debt and in that situation was kind of
a blessing because guess what? I found Russell. I started doing what he said.
And it's great because you don't need any money.
I was in so much debt that I had to make funnels work.
And so now I'm dating the girl of my dreams.
I have the apartment of my dreams.
I've paid off my SUV, which had a toxic interest rate because I had horrible credit.
And I actually did that at Funnel Hacking Live.
I actually have the picture here with me paying off my stupid SUV. Peace out, debt. And now we,
so I did my first Two Comma Club in December and just our second one just a month ago after being
a part of the Two Comma Club program. And now I'm so excited. Two weeks ago, I literally built a funnel for Fat Man Scoop,
who is a hip hop celebrity, one of the most famous voices in hip hop. I actually got to work with him
and build out a funnel for him. So you never know what will happen when you make that leap of faith.
But basically, for me started with uh in 2018
i was kind of building my own funnels doing okay with that but failed a couple times because i
didn't do what russell said and then i did what russell said met up with a dj influencer and
started building out funnels for him and february 2019 i still remember it i recorded the whole experience me crying we made we made a lot of
dinero uh and i knew i was on to something and uh our uh we specialize or i specialize in membership
funnels and we started we started getting more members more members more members doing what
russell says doing what russell says 500 members, a thousand members in our DJ community, our membership. And that's when March
2020 happened. Worst year ever for events. I thought my life was over, but guess what? What
saved me? A funnel, baby. We ended up launching our second funnel, which was a new software business and membership for DJs.
And that changed my entire life.
And I got smart.
On the second business, the second funnel, I called up my client and I said, hey, I want 25% equity in this one.
He said, yes.
And so now we have this amazing membership community. People are literally
tattooing our logo on their arms. We have 3,500 members in our membership slash software kind of
hybrid community. And so cool. Yeah. Sorry. I know. I know. I just blabbered a lot. I hope that
was a recap for me everyone like he went and
built funnels for himself and then built for someone else who already had a product business
and then the second time it's like i'm gonna do it again but there's no equity because i got the
skill set i know how to do it and they gave it to you like that's what's so crazy you guys
understand like when you master the skill set like it's you can use in so many different ways
and it's it's just amazing but you have to go all in and master one. There are so many influencers out there in the world.
All it takes is one really good connection
with your funnel building skills
and one connection with an influencer.
It will change your whole life.
Your whole life forever.
Just serve that person, whoever that is,
in your niche and it will change your whole life.
All right, man.
For anyone who's sitting on the fence,
what would you tell them right now to push them over the edge all that is all that that that noise
in the back of your head is is just resistance there's a great book called the war of art by
steven pressfield you should read that right away but all that is is resistance and it's resistance
from keeping you from what you want to get just take the credit credit card out. Let's go. Do what Russell says.
I wish you guys the best of luck.
Awesome.
Thank you, Dom.
I appreciate it.
Thanks for jumping on, man.
Everyone down in the comments down below,
let them know thank you so much
for hanging out with us and sharing this story.
Is that a crazy story?
Builds a funnel, gets paid for it,
then does a second funnel, gets equity for it,
and then keeps going from there,
which is so cool, man.
So thank you so much for sharing that.
All right, everybody.
You enjoyed listening to all the Funnel Builders, getting to meet people. All right, if you're ready
to get off the sidelines and get into the game, again, go to funnelbuilder.com slash go get
started. As you know, there's two ways to get started. One's $10,000 up front, or you can break
it up over a four payment plan, get started, jump in the training and get started right now. All
you got to do is go to funnelbuilder.com slash go. And we got Mike and AJ back. Can I hear you
guys now? Hopefully. hopefully yes i think so
yes what's up guys how you doing hey we're doing good two computers we're good
all right so to introduce you guys mike and aj are the inventors i'm not sure side you're on
in my video anyway mike and aj are the inventors of the funnel hub uh this is a concept they kind
of mentioned it got it was such a cool thing we built it as like the foundation click funnels 2.0
and what that means is moving forward, there's going to be this insane
amount of demand for funnel hubs because it's the newest thing. It's, it's like the new opportunity
behind they different than websites. And it's amazing. And then we're not going to go into
too deep what funnel hubs are, but I love you guys to talk about just, you invented this thing,
but this is like this new thing that you're, you guys have an agency, you're selling it.
And we'd love to hear just more about how this new funnel type like what's possible with it yeah so i mean you at one point declared the death of
a website at a funnel hacking live and you know i turned to aj i was like what the heck we build
websites what's going on with this and um while i was maybe a little upset about it at the time
it led us into an understanding of like where does the website actually fit within respect to funnels? You know, we joined your inner circle, like, it feels like
the dawn of time, like a long time ago. And I remember sitting inside of the, our very first
meeting and just looking around and wondering kind of who are the other people in this room?
And like, what do their funnels look like? And what did they do? And that led us on a discovery
to figure out that, that there's a lot
of while the funnel is the number one place for a uh to turn a lead into a customer ultimately that
doesn't mean that a website is not a part of that journey and so that's where funnel hub came about
and that's how we developed this new funnel type where we've gone on to sell so many different
funnel hubs to uh different people in the space. But we've also taken that
into the local market and local businesses are going crazy for this stuff too.
Yeah. So cool. So this is something I was mentioning earlier. So a lot of people don't
know, actually nobody knows because this is like an unadvertised bonus, but you guys flew out
two or three months ago and we record a whole bunch of stuff. Cause again, funnel hubs are like this new opportunity.
They're so big.
How many people on the planet think today actually have a funnel hub?
Have them?
I mean, I can probably, we could probably count them in all of our hands.
Like there's, there's not, there's not very many.
How many businesses are there in the world that need a funnel hub?
I mean, every business.
Yeah.
It's insane.
Like anybody who's got a website or doesn't have a website or had a funnel hub is an opportunity
for all of them, which is insane.
And so this opportunity is huge.
And so one of the things you guys get immediately, this is a whole program that we're going to
be selling separately here in the near future, but I wanted everyone to have that as well.
So like when you guys get into the certified, uh, the fundamental certified members area,
the funnel launch pads all in there.
And you want to talk about some of the things that are included.
So people know like what they like to be able to take this opportunity funnel hubs like
all the stuff you guys include inside that training because it's it's special just to this funnel type
that they're getting they don't get any other funnel type besides the funnel hub because it's
such a big opportunity yeah i mean what we did is we basically figured out from a to z how to help
someone create a funnel hub because obviously you need to know how to do the funnel type but then
there's a whole sales process that we train on to teach people how to go through that.
And the thing is that the way I look at this opportunity is right now... Imagine if you could
go back to 2015, 2014 and take the knowledge you have right now about funnels and transport it
back then. What would you have done back then? Like what kind of business opportunities would you have jumped into that?
Maybe you've seen other people jump into, well,
that same opportunity exists right now with funnel hub, that this is,
this is something that, you know, we're going to fast forward five, 10 years.
And everyone's be like, yeah, I should, I should have listened.
I should have probably done something with that. And like,
and that may sound crazy, but like,
that is absolutely the opportunity that's here
because we've seen it on our own agency. We've seen it in the students that we've taught to go
out there and sell these funnel hubs to, to other funnel driven businesses and those kinds of
things. Yeah. And a lot of people think, well, you guys know all these funnel guys, you're,
you know, you're their friends. That's why you got to build these. But our agency has been building
these locally for a lot of small businesses here in Tucson. Right. And so we've proven that this is not just something that's
for the funnel building community. It's for every small business. And so that makes it a huge,
huge market. That's just totally untapped and waiting. Right. And you know, in our agency,
we've had, you know, there's somewhat of a learning curve to teach a local business about
funnels. But what I love about this is you can build a funnel hub for local business and you're
kind of giving them funnels along with it. And then suddenly one day they're like, Hey, what is this thing? It's
generating leads and sales for me. Well, I'm glad you asked. That's called a funnel. And now you can
start selling, you can start selling funnels to local businesses, which maybe previously were
confused by it or didn't understand why it's like, it's like a sneak attack kind of strategy,
which I really love. Right. And the other thing is interesting. And when is interesting when someone actually has a funnel hub the next thing they need is they need
funnels to put in the funnel hub and so it's like it's such a good like foot in the door like hey
we build this thing and a lot of people they look like a website which people want a website it's
like oh i have a website now yeah yeah but it's a funnel hub and then it's like from there you're
like oh by the way you need to leave funnel then we need this and you start adding things and it
gives you ability to like lead with one thing that they all understand that looks normal and you guys don't know any local clients
you don't call the funnel hub you call the marketing hub right so it's like something
they understand we build the marketing yeah but then you can start layering in like okay you need
to leave funnel now we needed this kind of fun and you can start like uh adding in more and more
funnels to that client to serve them at a higher level which is like anyway it's it's amazing so
what's cool for all you guys who are getting involved in the certification program again as soon as you go in there the funnel of launchpad is all in the members area
so you can start going through that like tonight if you want to start learning exactly how to sell
funnels and like on top of that what else we didn't talk about but like you guys have like
your sales scripts in there your presentations like you literally like go watch presentations
grab the thing and start doing it and uh for all the certified partners everyone's going to
certification uh click funnels 2.0 beta get you guys get access, I think next week,
I believe,
which means you build,
build Funnel Hubs in 2.0
right away for people.
And so it's like perfect timing,
just a huge gift
that you guys are allowing
all the certified people to have.
So any other final words
for anyone who's sitting on the fence?
He's like,
I don't know if this is right for me.
What would you guys tell them?
Go for it.
I think for me,
it's like you've been in that situation
where perhaps you're trying to sell somebody something, a business, and you can see so clearly that they need it, for me, it's like, you've been in that situation where perhaps you're trying to
sell somebody something, a business, and you're, you can see so clearly that they need it. Right.
And they're like resistant to that. And I know we've been in those situations and I can tell
you that we needed to go first, right. It's really hard to sit there with integrity and asking
somebody to invest in their business when they've never done the same thing for themselves. And it's
once we started investing our business in that way, it became easy for me to go in there with
more certainty, more confidence. And that just
started turning into sales. Yeah. So cool. Yeah. Awesome. We've never, we've never been
steered wrong by Russell. Like anytime that I've taken my credit card out of my wallet to do
something with you, whether we join inner circle or any of the programs that we've done together,
people will ask us, you know, how have you built an agency the size you have? How have you, you,
how do you have a business that can run without you? How do you, you know,
how are you a speaker at funnel hacking live?
And it's the reason why it's because we put ourselves in the room with the
people that knew the information. And obviously Russell,
you've done an amazing job, but your team like is,
has helped us so much in getting to the right spot.
And I think anybody who joins this program will be lucky to have that force on their
side to do this.
I couldn't imagine having something like this when I first started our agency back in 2003.
It's just such a gift you guys are giving to people.
Yeah.
And I've been on the sales side of a lot of these opportunities.
And you've made it such an alley-oop because you teach people to teach who, not how, right?
And ever since you
started saying that, and ever since you started teaching the community that, the people that are
coming to us, they're like just ready to buy. They're like, I know I don't want to spend time
doing this. I just want somebody to do it for me, right? And when they're coming to you like that,
it's such an easy sale. So cool. Well, Mike and AJ, thank you guys so much for jumping on. I
appreciate you. Everyone, you guys are going to love the Funnel Hub launchpad. It's like,
again, a free gift inside the members area. You can go through that tonight, which is amazing.
You can start selling funnel hubs tomorrow and make your money back before the
weekends.
If you want to take,
it's all in there.
You can jump in there.
And then next week we're going to do more funnel train,
but like,
like the initial stuff's in there.
You guys can go rock and roll and start going through the program this
weekend.
And you know,
some of you guys that overachievers,
the ones who are like,
I'm in no matter what,
like you could literally go through that,
go sell funnel hubs,
sell two or three funnel hubs
and like before the first
payment on the credit cards hit
like it's paid off
so go and like
take advantage of it guys
it's a gift that these guys
were willing to give you guys
and put in the members area
which I'm so grateful for
I think you guys
are going to love it
so everyone in the comments
down below
Mike and AJ know
thank you so much
for hanging out with us today
thank you guys
for being part of this
and you are amazing
can we see you guys again soon
alright see ya
alright see you guys
okay everyone again if you are like on the fence is now is the time we've been
going now for like almost three hours. I hope you're happy. Excites me. I got some more funnel
builders are bringing out, but now it's time to go to funnelbuilder.com slash go get started,
get signed up. Again, you got two easy ways. One is go pay, go all in. It's like just under
$10,000 to get started, or you got a four pay as well. If you go to funnelbuilder.com slash go,
all the info is there, which is awesome. All right, we got our next funnel builder here.
And I shared some of his story during the actual presentation. But I'm excited to have
Austin here with me. How are you doing today, man? Hey, what's up, everybody? What's up, Russell?
So good to see you. So I want to talk about, because again, I think one of the fears people
have is like, I'm gonna have to learn how to do all sorts, like a million different funnels and things
like that.
And it's going to be overwhelming, confusing.
And when we were talking before, you told me that at first you were trying to do a whole
bunch of stuff and then you just like focused on one funnel type, which changed everything
for you.
So I'd love to hear kind of like your before and then you zoning in on like challenges
becoming your thing.
Yeah, definitely.
First of all, let's give a round of applause for the marketer, the number one marketer in the world, putting on this wonderful webinar. Absolutely awesome. Russell, I think we need to get the chat going, though, because there's not a lot of chat going. So where are my funnel hackers at right now? Hashtag funnel hackers. If you are still with us right now, hashtag funnel builder. If you guys are super excited about becoming a funnel builder, it's been super rewarding.
And actually, when I was watching the presentation, Russell, I got super inspired about what it really means to me to be a funnel builder.
Do you mind if I share that real quick and then we can go into my story?
Yeah, please do.
Okay. So one of the things that I feel like that's true for me with being a funnel builder is it is literally our greatest contribution to other entrepreneurs.
It's our greatest opportunity to help other business owners.
And the way I think about it is it's not just that we're building one funnel for one entrepreneur.
We're doing it for their customers. We have no idea what the impact is
that we're going to create for their customers, for the entrepreneurs that we're helping build
these funnels for. I've heard Myron say this, and I think it came from a guy named Robert
Shuler or something like that. But basically he said, any fool can
count the number of seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples produced by
one seed. Think about that for a second. How does that, like when it comes to funnel building,
we have no idea the impact that we are going to create for other people. We have no idea how viral that will be.
We don't have any idea if there's going to be hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands,
hundreds of thousands, millions of people going through the funnel ecosystems that we built for
our customers, for the entrepreneurs who are literally putting their neck out there on the
line, being vulnerable, putting their message
out there. And we are helping them do that. Right. So one of the best things, like when I wake up
out of bed, like being a funnel builder is getting a phone call from one of my customers. And
when they call me and they're just like, Austin, this challenge or this funnel,
this funnel ecosystem that you built for our business.
Yes, it's making us more revenue. Yes, it's making us it's getting more customers. Yes,
it's moving the needle forward. But I had no idea the amount of impact that this would create.
I had no idea how many people would hear my message. I had no idea how many people would get results going through this. And that to me right there, it's more than just being a funnel builder. It's about being a game changer. It's about being a change maker. It's about being a rainmaker, right? I love that, dude. It's so powerful because you think about that, like
you put this little thing out there and it's like, oh, I built a funnel. But then you look at,
you know, for years challenge funnels and someone comes in and get a hundred or a thousand or 5,000
people join a challenge. And then the impact that happens on that person's life and then their
family's lives. And like, it's, it's a, it's pretty, it's pretty special. Like when you look
at it from, from that side. So I'm glad you brought that in. That's cool. Yeah.
So how did you specialize in chat?
I'm curious on that.
What was the thing that made you like, this is the one I'm going to be become the best
in the world at.
Okay.
Yeah.
So this is a cool story.
Um, and I don't think we've ever really talked much before, but, um, so, so I, I've made
a lot of mistakes becoming a funnel builder.
Right.
And, um, if there's like just a couple of things that I could just like hand people before they all jump off this phone call right now. And if I just knew these couple of things and actually Russell touched on these in his builder, I would be way more ahead than what I am now.
And here's like my first tip. Is it okay if like I share with you guys a couple of tips on how to
be a successful funnel builder? All right, cool. All right. So my first tip is, and this is part
of my story, so I'll share my story along with it, is don't be a jack of all funnels, right? Or I like to call them a funnel jack wagon. So basically,
that's somebody that is building anything for anybody. So when I first started my funnel
building business, I was all over the place. I was building all kinds of different funnels for
all types of different customers. And I wasn't focused on the impact. I was more
focused on, hey, this is a one-time transaction. I just got to build a funnel. Then I'm off to the
next person, right? Wrong mindset. But that's where I was operating at. And there's two big
problems operating in that field. Number one, completely, I was undercharging for my services. And number two, I like literally, I would have to re-event the wheel every single time
I got a new client in the door because we were building all types of different funnels
for different people, right?
Russell said niche down.
That's 100% of what you should do right now.
Niche down, focus on one funnel.
I was building webinar funnels.
I was building application funnels,
membership sites, supplement funnels.
You name it, we did it.
And when I finally, it was on a two comma club X cruise.
I was about three mojitos deep,
sitting with this wonderful lady.
Her name was Latasha.
And I was telling her about
these issues I was having in my business. Right. And she said to me, she's like, you need to make
a decision right now. And you need to decide what you're going to go all in on. And Russell talked
about this on the webinar today. And this is something that we all need to take very seriously
because I wasted a lot of time and effort not doing this. Right. She told me, she was like, the one thing that you need to do is focus on one
customer, solve one big problem and have one solution for them. And that solution is the
funnel. Okay. So when Russell says pick one funnel, pick one funnel, but I'd also take it further.
It's also very good if you also pick
a customer and a problem that you're solving with that particular funnel, right? So right then and
there, we made a decision like 30 minutes into the conversation and we're going back and forth.
And she was like, what if you helped coaches who need more customers use challenge funnels. And Russell, I had no idea what a challenge funnel was when she told me that.
I'm just like, what the heck is a challenge funnel?
I've never built that before.
And so right after we got off, well, so what happened was I basically,
like right there, without knowing anything about this,
I decided just to go all in and start focusing on one thing, focusing on one customer,
one problem, solving one solution, which is challenge funnels. And I was just like, okay.
So I took my drink, took my little toothpick mojito thing. I found some old gum and the bar
on the bar tab or stool, slapped it on top of the bar, put my mojito like i found some old gum and the bar on the bar tab or stool slapped it on top of the bar
put my mojito like toothpick in it and i was just like i'm gonna be the challenge funnel king
and then right there i jumped off that ship so i didn't jump off the ship but after the
cruise is over with i got off the ship and i became a funnel hacker. Everybody say hashtag funnel hacker in the comments right now. I became
a funnel hacker. So I went out and I had to be the expert. I had to understand and start learning
how I could use challenges to help my customers. So every time I saw a new challenge,
so I purchased the challenge and I started going through it.
I started hacking it and looking at it, seeing everything that worked about it.
And then from there on, and I'll just I know I don't have a lot of time here, but I'll cut my story short here.
When I did that, my income and I can't make any income claims because Russell told me not to, but I would just say I was charging a couple hundred dollars per funnel to
now every time we sell a challenge funnel or a challenge system to a
company,
it provides for me and my family,
I would say about two or three months,
just one funnel,
one funnel.
So cool.
I think that's the key is like figuring out like this is following a master
and again on inside the certification,
we'll give you the training and the strategy and
stuff that will give you swipe files and everything as much as we can.
But then for the, you guys, it's like, I'm gonna become the best in the world.
And it's like, if it's a webinar, I'm gonna go join every webinar.
If it's this like in mastering it to become the best in the world.
And then when you do that, people come to you.
Like it's, if you set up shop, like, Hey, I'm the guy who does challenge funnels.
I'm a person who does this kind of like, whatever that is, then clients will start
coming to you.
They'll be, they'll be magnetically drawn to you because people are
looking for these things all day long they still don't know who to trust who to hire and if you
didn't want and then two and three like how many challenge funnels have you done for clients now
do you know how many like oh my gosh i've lost count i have no idea anymore but you know um you
just brought something else up and i like uh one of the other things is to like practice what you preach, because when I went all in on challenge funnels and became the expert, like I knew I had to launch
my own challenge within 30 days because I wanted to use that ecosystem to get my own
customers in the door.
And you talked about this a little bit on the webinar.
Um, like for example, guys, you don't want to be that fat coach teaching people how to get, you know, six pack abs.
Like, it doesn't make any sense. Right. You want to like if you can.
You can't do this for everything, but if you can do it and use the same system to put them through exactly like Pedro does, actually,
if you could use the same system, put them through and then sell them that thing,
that's the perfect storm, right? So if you're going to go all in, let's say like fitness coaches,
and let's say like for fitness coaches, you're going to give, you're going to help them get more
high ticket clients, right? And you're going to do that with, I mean, you could do it with all
kinds of different funnels, put in the comments, what kind of funnels you can get high, you know, high ticket, uh, applications in for
fitness coaches.
But I would assume like webinar funnels, challenge funnels, like all kinds of things,
but let's say webinar funnel, right?
You best be using a webinar funnel to get those fitness clients in the door and then
sell them a high ticket program to build out their webinar.
Yeah.
So you just should practice what you preach.
Yeah, for sure.
It's the same thing on my side, right?
I do book funnels because I like books.
And then every one of the dogs, every famous author in the world is messing with me.
Help me with the book funnel.
Help me with the book funnel.
It's like, okay.
I get to know all the cool people.
Same thing with you.
Everyone wants your challenge funnel.
They go through your challenge and then, yeah, they want your challenge funnel.
So it's good stuff, man.
That's awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and for being part of this.
Thanks for having me.
For anyone who's like sitting here thinking like, ah, is this going to work for me or not?
Like what would you tell them to kind of like push them over the edge?
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
So funnel building, no matter what you guys decide to do, this is a skill that you can use literally everywhere for any type of business, right?
It's never going to go away.
So 100%, you should totally do it.
And there's so many ways to make money from this.
I'm going to tell you guys, like we do build challenges on the front end, but we have long
term relationships with clients where we're building them other types of funnels too.
We're building some other webinars and other things like that so it's
like a stem like we start with the challenge that's all we do for anybody that comes in but
then like we make a bunch of money on the back end yeah so cool man well proud of you glad that you're
like it's fun watching you kill it watching every success through all the years with everything and
um and just yeah a perfect example of like picking them picking a funnel focusing on it becoming the
best world at it and then bringing clients like crazy and serving them.
So thanks so much for being here.
Everyone let Austin know.
Thank you so much down in the comments for hanging out with us today.
And hope you guys enjoyed all the different Funnel Builders.
It's so much fun like sharing.
Okay, once again, if you haven't yet and you're waiting like, what should I do?
Like it's time to go to funnelbuilders.com slash go and get started and hang out.
All right, my next guest today
is ben moot ben how are you doing today i'm doing good how are you doing can you hear me we can hear
yes very good all right i want because i shared your story during the webinar about this this
thing where you because those who know ben ben's in our community for a long time he was actually
when we first launched the first certified partner program way back in the day he was one that helped
us coach and train and everything that and um and, um, and then after that, we kind of, we closed
the doors on that, the certification back in the day, you went out there and you started doing this
as a, as a profession. Right. And what I think was so unique that you were doing is so cool is that
you would go and you're like me, I think me and you were probably the two biggest funnel hackers
in the world. We loved it. Like go funnel hack and look at all this stuff. And so you started
doing that as a service, like making proposals from and getting clients. And I love to just kind of explain that product.
I know I shared it in the webinar a little bit, but from your standpoint, I'd love to explain
what you're doing and how it, how it all works. Cause it's such a key piece. I want people to
understand. Okay. So first off, a lot of you guys, you're in the comments, say hello, how's it going?
There's something really interesting. Those of you who are staying your diehards and you're
interested, and I want you to hear this because this is really important. It's not so much, there's so much, but Hey,
how's it going guys? There is so much potential energy inside of you. There's so much potential
to give. If you allow yourself to believe in yourself the way we believe there is so much
that you can do. Allow yourself to do that. There's, I stay, I was in the ClickFunnels world
for forever like i was
here right before click funnels 1.0 came out i got to have super beta access to 1.0 now i get
access to 2.0 and i'm super stoked about it but with 1.0 like i realized what was possible and
i went deep and went crazy and it took a while for me to say now what am i going to do with this
like i don't have a business idea that i want to do. There's nothing I'm super passionate about. I don't feel a calling.
So what do I do? And I discovered that as I was speaking to everybody and they would talk about
their story, what it is that they felt they were called to do. I could latch onto that and say,
oh my gosh, I feel your passion. I feel your fire and I can help. Holy crap. I can help with that.
I can absolutely jump in and make a difference. So I did that for years and years and years. We built
well over a hundred funnels, just getting people to that place. And what I saw is that everybody
would start to get success with the funnel and then it would start to slip. And they were really
concerned. I was like, you know what, what is a better way to do this? And so I went back through
all the training that Russell had ever done and went kind of crazy and went to the original Funnel Hacks webinar where he sold quick funnels for the
very first time with a webinar. And he taught the process you guys all heard today. It's simply
go and find what's working, model it, and then drive traffic to it. With the tools you get inside
of here, you're able to do just that. I use those tools every single day. It's
the lifeblood. So I discovered it because I wanted to help my customers better. And what's magical
is a lot of us are like, you know, I'm not sure if I'm going to build a funnel that works. I'm
not sure if it's going to work right. The easiest way to get a funnel that works is to funnel hack
it. Ethically go find the traffic that's working, which you get the tool for,
find the traffic. Number two, go and model it out for the customer. And I did it for free at first.
And then people's brains were literally exploding. They were so excited. Like,
holy cow, that is the most amazing thing that I've learned. Like, how did you share that? Like,
where did you learn this? Like, how does it all work? And I'm like, well, this is how it works for you because of these four different things that I went and researched. And these are the people that are
doing it. This is how, and they're like, you need to charge for this. And that's how it all happened.
It all came about because of that. So now when somebody comes to me, I'm like, well, we need to
do a funnel hack first, like done. Absolutely. That's absolutely. And if they're unsure, the way
that I do this, if you guys are looking to figure this out, okay. The way that I pitch a funnel hack is somebody will come to me. They'll say,
I'm looking for a funnel build. I'm kind of interested. I'm not quite sure what I want to do.
And I'll say, all right, here's the deal. How much do you know about your niche right now?
How much do you know about it? Have you, how much research have you done into funnels that work
inside of your niche? And they're usually like, well, I Googled it.
Oh, and I'm like, okay, sweetheart,
we got to help you. I'm in the South right now. So it's just not sweetheart and bless you all over the place. So the thing that's really helpful is you get to then help them number
one, find what's working, but number two, as much as you can be a specialist inside of a funnel,
the easiest way to become a specialist in something else is to funnel hack like Austin Ford talked about.
Go and find everything that's working, deep dive in it, go crazy, print out the webinars, go through it, have fun.
Funnel hacking is a blast.
And at the same time, you get paid for it.
And the customers always turned over.
It was crazy.
They were always like, when I presented the funnel hack, they immediately said, Holy cow, you're the only obvious answer. If you ever wanted that from a
customer who's like, my gosh, you're the person that I have to work with. This is your key. This
is the foot in the door. It works every single time. Well, think about that. You go through and
you funnel hacks. You're like, here's all the ad sources. Here's the traffic. Here's the funnels.
There's everything you give it to them. And they're like, you know, my business better than
I do at this point. And you're like, cool. So you can sources. Here's the traffic. Here's the funnels. Here's everything. You give it to them and they're like, you know my business better than I do at this
point.
And you're like, cool.
So you can take this and go hire another funnel builder.
I can do it if you want.
And they're like, of course.
And that's if you guys, I talked about earlier, I asked Ben yesterday, I was like, what percent
of people that you did the paid funnel hack for paid for funnel buildings?
Like 80%.
I'm like, really?
He's like, no, that's not true.
It's actually a hundred percent, but I feel bad.
Like no one's going to believe that.
Like, okay. No. Yes. Yes. That's so cool. But, um, the power,
the process is awesome. And I think it's so cool. And just so you guys know, uh, Ben's been working
a lot closer with me on a whole bunch of stuff. He's gonna be a lot of training inside the
funnel builders, a certification program on this process and how it works and getting you guys
deep understanding exactly how to do it, how to execute, how to do the funnel hacks,
all that kind of stuff. And so, um, he'll be around helping understanding exactly how to do it, how to execute, how to do the funnel hacks, all that kind of stuff.
And so he'll be around helping as well.
And so it's going to be, it's going to be awesome.
I appreciate you, Ben, jumping on.
Any last words for anyone who's listening, who's like still on the fence?
Like what, what would you do to push them over?
If you're on the fence, more than likely at this point, you're sitting down thinking
this sounds great, but I really don't know if it's for me.
I don't know if I can make this work from being around with the certification
program 1.0 and seeing certification programs that have been all throughout the
internet.
There is nothing that's going to help you get on the bike and help you move
forward and help you get there step by step like this program.
There's nothing out there like it.
So if you're leaving this on the table,
just realize anywhere you go,
it's going to be a lower grade opportunity.
This is the king.
Take it.
Thank you so much for being on.
And hopefully you guys,
yeah, you're going to love working with Ben
on some of these things that are working,
that work so good.
And just grateful for you, man,
for all the work you're doing
and helping everybody out in front of others.
So awesome, awesome.
All right, everyone, let Ben know.
Thank you so much down in the comments down below. And man, we've been going
now, we've been going for three and a half hours. I think I got one, one or two more guests to bring
on one or two more funnel builders. But before we do, um, again, if you're on the fence, just
waiting again, now is the time go to funnel builder.com slash go get started to be part of
certification program. And next up we have, this is a funnel builder. I'm going to nickname you.
This is Nick. He's becoming like the celebrity funnel builder. He's been building funnels for me in the background.
He's been doing it for Tony Robbins. He's been doing it for other people. He's an amazing designer,
amazing funnel builder, amazing guy. He's also been working back behind the scenes on like actual
designs for CliffFunnels 2.0. Some of the templates you guys will have are coming from his mind.
But our next guest I want to bring out is gustin how you doing man
well i was doing great but now you're making me nervous what an intro
no it's good to be here it's 2 30 almost a.m here in finland but it's good to be here oh thanks for
staying up late and uh and hanging out with us i really really appreciate it so i love my pleasure
is fun how did you get in this whole funnel building world like well i don't even know the
original story all i know is kind of the other side where everyone, like for me, we give you tons of projects.
Other people are like, I need someone who's the best.
Who would you go to?
And I always send them to you.
I had Frank Kern yesterday message me.
I'm like, he's the best.
Here's like your journey in this world.
Yeah, so there's a lot of people who get into this business to make a lot of money, which is good.
Like that's all cool. I got into this business because I'm a family man. I have two kids and a
beautiful wife, and I just wanted to build a business so I can be with them. And like I said,
it's 2.30 a.m. I'm working from home in my home office, and I literally put them to sleep. I went
to this webinar, and here we are. So that's kind of why I do this. But how I got into this is pretty interesting.
I was making 400 a month as a receptionist and I had 15 different jobs at the age of 21,
literally trying everything, jumping from job to job.
And people said like, why don't you just like settle, like just be grateful.
Like not every job is going to be fun.
I was like, but I want to have fun.
Like it shouldn't feel like a job.
It should be fun.
And so I remember thinking, like, looking at the marketplace,
and I was like, what's the best opportunity right now?
And I didn't know funnels at the time.
Like, I'm in Finland.
Like, nobody was talking about funnels.
And so I was looking at businesses going online.
So at the time, it was like social media, right?
Like, everyone was doing, like like the old school traditional paper ads.
And I was like, why don't you use Facebook? And they're like, Oh,
you can run ads on Facebook. And so that's the first thing I did.
And it worked well. I got a bunch of clients,
but mostly what we got them was traffic. We got them views, right.
And we sent traffic to their ugly brochures websites.
So the next step then was like, okay, let me optimize your website in WordPress.
And then that sucked.
And we got leads, but it was like, we're not really able to track the monetization.
And then I saw this book.
And then you started following me around on the internet.
And so I bought the book and then I wanted to invest into a course to learn more.
And I remember it was pretty embarrassing.
I have two younger brothers and I reached out to them because I was making 400 a month,
which had to go to rent and everything, even though I bought books for it.
I reached out to my brothers and I was like, hey, can I borrow some money to invest in
this course?
And they're like, yeah, sure.
Like, we believe in you. So thankfully they did. And I invested into a program and,
and one of the mindsets or principles that I always go by is like, who's doing what I want to
do. And then how can I pay them to get closer to them and learn from them? Cause I'm not a big fan
of like college. Some people like it. I, you know, I don't like, I dropped out of college actually. And you know,
ever since I learned those, like I've been able to 10 X my growth.
And literally everything in funnels, like copy offers, design automation,
by just like following what other people are doing. So.
That's so cool.
So when was the very first client you took on to actually build a funnel
for him after you started learning this stuff?
Yeah, it was a uh it was a competition so i went into a uh community on facebook where they talked
about funnels i was just curious and they said like i'm looking to find a a funnel builder and
we were three people and he's like i'll pick the best one so i was like okay so let me like i'm
very competitive i was into soccer and sports so i was like like i want to beat them and
i'm still the same person today i want to be the best so uh it was three people we built a funnel
we sent it over to this person he was actually in your inner circle and so once i you know i beat
those two other people then he ended up paying me for the next funnel and then i ended up getting
his network that's like he referred people i paid him a small cut, which is what
actually one of the seven ways that, you know, I'm happy to share if you want the seven ways to get
clients that I do. But ever since then, it's been like a combination of like putting myself out
there to get more clients. So when I have a project, I present it beautifully. I posted on
my profile. So I have a very like simple business simple portfolio simple profile
i put up my funnels it's actually how you reach out to me as well if you remember on facebook
that you saw a funnel and you reach out to me so um that's how i got my first one and then i've
been just focused on like serving and you've talked about a lot of other people here have
talked about like serving people and i remember making this post once like hey my goal is to
build a thousand funnels i don't know i don't care how long it's going to take.
And Tony Robbins, actually, it's funny that he's not a client, but I remember he was saying something about like,
most people underestimate what they can do in a decade and overestimate what they can do in a year or something like that.
Probably butchering, but like the mindset of like, hey, if I build a thousand funnels in the next three to five years,
then will I ever struggle to get clients again?
Probably not.
Because most people will like be distracted
by everything that's going on
and they won't focus on the number one key
they should be focused on, which is their skills.
I don't know, we've talked about that a lot today,
but that's been my mindset and it's worked.
It's worked.
I'm working with you, so it's worked.
Cool. I i love because again
for some people like that'd be a dream like to work these amazing clients and people you looked
up to who are some of the people you've had a chance to work with because of the the skill
set you've learned yeah well so you and click funnels and and magnetic marketing and then
kennedy and that brand and then also like robert kosaki, Tony Robbins, like some people who are on here as a speakers as well.
And so a lot of big clients like Anthony and Adrian Morrison,
Krista Mayshore, like a lot of people who are into comma club and even like
bigger awards than that. But, but yeah, I don't, I don't,
I treat every client the same. I charge every client the same
because my mindset is still like,
how can I just become better all the time?
Because then again,
if I just focus on becoming better and serving,
then it doesn't really matter who I'm working with,
even though I love working with like dream clients.
But it's the fact that I'm always thinking like long-term
instead of like, how can I make a quick buck, right?
I'm thinking about my kids, my wife. And if there's a recession or inflation, like as long as I try to become better every
single day, just focus on one project at a time. Right. Then I know everything else is going to
take care of itself. It could be my faith as well. Just like a childish faith of like,
everything is going to work out as long as I do my part. That's what I believe.
So cool. Well, I know it's late for you and I'm tired too my part that's what i believe so cool um well i know it's late
for you and i'm tired too we've been going for a long time i love it like anyone who's like
thinking like man would this be like should this be the career i go into right we all have these
different opportunities like we go to college we go to school we can like move like yeah just as a
career as a lifestyle like anything you want to tell people about like how this has been has
affected your life i'd love to hear that well so I told you my number one goal is to
have fun, but then the second part is obviously to provide for my family. So what I've been able
to do with funnels is it started with like building funnels. And then I started earning
affiliate commissions because people needed funnels. And then people start asking for one
on one help. So like I've built, let's call it 10 mini businesses within funnels.
10, I calculated them actually.
And it's like, people need help.
Once you learn the skills,
there's so many ways that you can serve clients.
And so the last thing that I would say is like,
if someone is on the fence,
I would ask like, who's like, it's Russell Brunson.
Like if you're not learning from Russell Brunson,
like it's the best person that I could imagine learning from.
And so I highly recommend it. Oh, that's the best person I could imagine learning from.
And so I highly recommend it.
That's awesome.
Well, thank you so much for jumping on.
I appreciate you.
I know it's super late for you.
Grateful you stayed up and shared your story with everybody.
I've had fun.
Sorry for my voice, though.
I'm a little bit sick still, but no, this was great.
No worries.
You're awesome, man.
Well, thanks for all you do.
It's so much fun watching you and your journey, and you're awesome.
So everyone that's down the chat, let's get to know so much you for uh for jumping on and hanging out with us tonight all right i think i believe we got one more right the last person uh and again call to action before
we go again those who sit on the fence you guys we're almost done we're gonna go pass out i'm
tired you're tired but um for those who are still here who are waiting like trying to decide like
take the leap of faith again there's a 30-day money-back guarantee you can jump in you can
test it out you can try it,
have some fun.
If it doesn't work, let us know, give money back.
But man, you guys have the opportunity to jump in
and try this process.
I told you the Funnel Hub training's in there right now.
You can jump in there, go start going through that
and sell some Funnel Hubs this weekend.
Like the process is done and it's ready for you guys.
You just gotta jump in there and follow the process.
It's been proven, it works,
and it can work for you as well.
All right, so I think our, are you our last one, Kevin?
I think you're our last guest. I am, so I think, are you our last one, Kevin? I think you're our last guest.
I am, yeah, absolutely, I'm our last.
Very cool.
So Kevin, I told your story during the webinar,
which I think was really cool,
but one of the funnel types you specialized in
has been product launch funnels.
And I think the stat we had is after you did your first one,
you did 32 over the next two years.
But I'd love to know just a couple of things,
like how did you get started
and then how did you get clients, like that many clients in a couple of things. Like how did you get started? And then how did you get clients,
like that many clients in that window of time?
Like how did you go through that?
Because you went from like entering this world
to like blowing up in this world.
How'd you do that?
Yeah, it actually just, honestly,
I didn't have a program like this
to kind of show me the ropes or anything.
So I just attended my first event
and just heard about the opportunity
and just became obsessed with it and just heard about the opportunity and um just became obsessed with
it like you know you talk about it when someone starts talking about funnels or just a piece of
funnel and they were giving the background of how you could actually do this it was just blowing my
mind and i was looking around and you say the same thing right i was looking around i'm like why is
no one else freaking out like we get to do like this works we could do this and it all made perfect sense in my head
but i was i was a how like i'm the how type of person and the room was full with the wow type
of people and i could see it in their eyes like they're just like they what they wanted was the
result and what i wanted was to the process so i honestly just started talking to a couple of them
just by accident and one of them happened to be chalene Johnson. So I don't know if anyone knows her, but, um, very, like literally where I was
sitting next to her and, um, was kind of in her same world. And she's like, Oh, what do you do?
I was like, well, I do tech. So I just said, well, I can do this for you. And that kind of started
it. And I didn't know what I was doing. I just said, yes. She said, can you do this? I was like,
yes. I didn't know how to do it. There wasn't a program like this to teach me how to do it.
I just committed. And from that point forward, that's all I did. I just said, yes. So anytime
I met a person that was a wow, that was at an event that said, you know, I want to do this.
I was like, I can help you. I can help you. I can help you. And the first three or four were rough. And I was learning along the way and I overcommitted and under delivered for
the first couple of ones of them, um, for sure. But then I got a system and a program and just
kind of got, it got to be a rhythm. And I learned like how to find the right customers and I got
better at it and it got easier. And then I started bringing on a team and then I was able to like
employ other people. And like my sister joined the company and she a team and then I was able to like employ other people and like my sister joined the company
and she needed a job
and I was able to provide her that.
Like my best friend became my sales guy.
It just got easier and easier and easier.
So cool.
Essentially, because like when you were doing this
back in the day too,
it wasn't, you didn't have a ClickFunnels or something.
Like you were doing all custom,
like it was way harder back then
and you still were able to figure it out.
Like can you imagine nowadays having the tools and stuff
so it's not just, you know, you can do it faster,
you can clone things, you can make things a lot quicker
than the first time.
It's almost cheating me.
It's not fair.
Well, that's the interesting thing about like,
we talk about mastering a funnel type
and inside the certification program,
we teach you the funnel type.
Then we give you like, here's a dozen templates
of that funnel type.
So like, you don't have to be good, just take it.
And then it's like, switch out the branding logos and copy,
and then connect everything, and then you're done.
It's not like back in the day
where you're an HTML learning front page or Dreamweaver
and they gotta hack a page together, right?
It's so much easier nowadays.
Yeah, the 2 a.m. days of waiting for a video to upload,
they're gone, you can't have that anymore.
It's easier on time.
What would you say for people who are sitting there like,
ah, how do I do this? They're freaked out i think a lot of people obviously they're nervous it's
like the money ten thousand dollars seems like a lot of money and it is but like help me understand
just like one funnel build can pay for that or more that you know like it's not so far where
you know sometimes we go to five years of college and we have you know x amount of debt and then we
can take us 30 years to pay that off i I think that the return can be really, really quickly when you understand it. Right.
Yeah, for sure. I think the biggest thing that, that I would tell people is, you know, if, if you
have the opportunity, I don't even know how to explain it best. Like the short version is this
is the type of thing that once you commit to and you learn the process, this gives you permission, but it also
gives you a way to learn along the way. So you might have a dream, like maybe you are a wow,
like maybe you are a wow person and you have a dream of a business you want to run or something
you want to do in the future and you want to be bigger things. This is a great way to get your
foot in that door, right? And do it in a way that you're learning along the way, just like I did.
You're just saying yes, right? You're helping other people and become an expert. So maybe your end goal isn't
to run an agency. Maybe your end goal is to launch your own business, but this is the way to learn.
And even what you said, like opening doors, you know, the people I started with, you know,
I said to you when I was looking through the list of the first 32 people, I mean, honestly,
I don't even remember some of these names at some point. I felt bad, but it's like the doors it's open for me.
I mean, now just having a chance to work with the people I've had to work with over the
last 10 years is unbelievable.
So there's no, nothing more powerful to people than being in this space.
And there's nothing people need more than people that can build funnels.
So awesome.
Thank you, man.
So much for jumping on here.
And I said, for everyone who's watching this, like Kevin's done it like all the funnabills you've had a chance to meet over the last
hour and a half or so we've been going um this is a career this is a lifestyle something you can do
