Starting point is 00:00:28 Travel moves us. I don't know if you're taking flying lessons, but flying lessons are amazing. It's like flying lessons. Like flying an airplane. Flying an airplane. Okay. Will teach you so much about life that it's not even funny. Like all the lessons that are in there are almost immeasurable.
Starting point is 00:00:42 So an airplane has to be going about 140 miles an hour to take off, right? So when you go down a runway and you're picking up ground speed to get to the point where the plane will take off, you reach a point on the runway where it's so far down the runway that you can't stop without crashing into whatever's at the end of the runway, or you have to take off. So they call that the point of no return. But I don't call it the end of the runway or you have to take off. So it's, they call that the point of no return, but I don't call it the point of no return. I call it the point of no return or
Starting point is 00:01:10 the point of no rewards. And here's why, because the point of own of no return is only the point of no return. If, when you get to that spot, you're going fast enough that you can't turn around. And so the reason most people struggle their way through life is because they ooched their way up to the point of no return, but it's not the point of no return for them because they're not going fast enough to take off anyway. So they can retreat and go back and start over and they keep getting close, ooching up. No, today's not the day I'm going to take off. And they go back to the starting. And then that today's not the day you have to be going so fast. You have to be so committed to your outcome that when you reach that point, it's either we're going to fly today or we're going to crash and burn.
Starting point is 00:01:50 But we can't go back. Most people are unwilling to put themselves in a situation where they can't go back. In the last decade, I went from being a startup entrepreneur to selling over a billion dollars of my own products and services online. This show is going to show you how to start, grow, and scale a business online. My name is Russell Brunson, and welcome to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Marketing Secrets Podcast. We've got a really cool show for you today. I actually just got done with an interview with Myron Golden, and this episode, you guys are going to love.
Starting point is 00:02:23 We talked about a whole bunch of stuff, but we kind of set it through the frame of like, if someone's just a brand new beginner and they're trying to figure out how to be successful online, what do you actually do? And this is fascinating because this conversation went in a direction I was not thinking it was going to go to, you know, I thought like, oh, let's create a product. Then we're going to write a sales letter. And it was not that it was like, it was more like the actual foundation of things. I figured out what is the problem that you're going to solve and how do you do that? And how do you create an offer that people will spend a lot of money for? Cause you can make an offer that's, you know, a dollar or $10 or a hundred dollars.
Starting point is 00:02:50 How do you make an offer where you can get to your goals? Million dollars, 10, but whatever your goal is a lot quicker. And so while this was definitely something we created for beginners, uh, I think even people were very, very advanced. Like you're gonna learn some really powerful, uh, really cool things. Um, if you've been stuck in the past, like trying to be successful, like I don't have the resources to be successful. This podcast, we go deep into how to become resourceful and how to use the things around you to actually be successful.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Myron's gonna talk about getting rich quick versus getting rich slow, like which one's better. You know, I think most of you are like, oh, the get rich quick schemes. Like I don't wanna get rich quick. He's gonna kind of reframe that for you guys in a way that I think is gonna be really, really powerful. Myron's gonna tell you guys a story about the very first thing he launched online. Like you had an offer, he put it out there, but you didn't have an
Starting point is 00:03:30 audience yet. This is, and this is a long time. This is before Facebook, before Instagram is like, how did he actually get the audience out there to know what he was like? He was aware that he was, that he existed, right? It was a lot of you guys, if you're getting started, it's like, how do I get traffic initially? Um, he shows you exactly what he did. And this is back again, a long time ago, back in the teleseminar days. And then when he shared that, it reminded me of something we were doing today with podcasts that you can replicate. Um, but you can replicate even faster. So if you don't have an audience yet at all, I'm gonna show you as the number one secret to get, uh, in front of a whole bunch of big audiences very, very quickly, uh, with your message. And so, um, anyway, for anyone
Starting point is 00:04:03 who's, if you're beginning, this is gonna give you a really cool blueprint to get success fast. If you are someone who's advanced, this is going to give you some ways to increase your offers. If you want to have, you know, a 10,000, a 50, a hundred, a hundred 50, a million dollar offer. You're going to learn how to do that as well during this episode. In fact, before we started filming, Myron actually told me about his million dollar offer and he closed three of them last month, which is crazy. So a lot of cool stuff you get from this podcast interview. I hope you guys enjoy it. With that said, uh, I want to introduce you guys officially to Mr. Myron Golden. All right, everybody. Welcome back to the channel. We're here today with something you
Starting point is 00:04:38 guys asked for. You're like, man, can we get some more Myron Golden? And obviously you can go to his channel and check him out, but us together, come on now. We have way more fun. Teamwork makes the dream work, brother. So good. And today we want to talk about, a lot of people were asking, last time we talked about Bible success stories and things like that, how to use the Bibles as like the greatest success guide of all time. And a lot of people wanted, especially beginners, like wanted some tangible stuff. Like how do I start making money? How do I start doing these things? And I wanted, there's something you talked about Funnel Hacking Live one time that I'd love for you to lead with. You talked about the difference between getting rich and getting slow. Cause some people are like, don't want it. You don't want to get rich quick scheme.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Oh, like I want to, but we talk about the difference of getting rich quick and getting rich slow. Right. So it starts with the question. If you make a million dollars, are you rich? And the people who are watching on YouTube right now, you can just answer that question in the chat, like in the comments. If you, if, if you make a million dollars, are you rich? That's a good question. And some people would say yes. Other people would say no. I would say it depends. How long did it take you to make it? Because if you make $25,000 a year and you work for 40 years, you've made a million dollars. Are you rich? No. What if you make the same million dollars in one year? Yes, but it's the same amount of money. So it's not the amount of money that makes you rich or poor. It's how fast or slow you make it.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Wealth denotes speed. So my philosophy is this, either get rich quick or you'll stay broke for the rest of your life. You might as well. You might as well get rich quick. It's funny because you see on the internet, it's like, oh, it's a get rich quick scheme it's like i hope so like otherwise exactly exactly like the quick means to me get rich quick to me means in your lifetime yeah right before you first too late yeah exactly while you while you still have enough energy and and vibrancy in your body to enjoy it and to give money to the people that you love and the causes that you care about like while you can still make a difference like why travel the world when you can barely get out of a car when you can travel the world while you got vitality yeah such a good
Starting point is 00:06:36 thing so my question then for you is because you if we go back in time when we first started hanging out with nine or ten years ago um i think I think I told the story on the last video, but you came to Boise at an event and, um, you came to the hotel and you weren't able to tell the hotel that's right next door. Yeah. You weren't able to afford a room in that hotel.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Could not afford a room with that. fast forward nine years later, you flew here private, private jet brought three members of my team with me and we're all staying at the hotel and I got me one of those terrace suites. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:04 So it's, it's very different and those things are not the things that matter the most but we can't pretend they don't matter yeah it's much easier and much better to travel anyway we'll get into that you guys that's a video for another day but this video i want to talk about because obviously you went you know nine years from there to here and and the question people are asking is like well okay what's the tangible like the tangible? Like, how do I start? What do I do? And I know you do a lot of stuff around offers and challenges around like creating your own offer. But I think initially people understand is like, the first thing is like for you to be successful, you actually have to have something to sell, right? People all the time. Like I'm on the internet, I'm trying to make
Starting point is 00:07:37 money. I'm like, what do you sell? Like, well, I don't know. I'm trying to make money on the internet. Like, yeah. How do you start? Yeah. So phase number one, it's believe it or not, it doesn't even start. In my opinion, it doesn't really even start with having something to sell. It has, it starts with the ability to solve somebody else's problem. I did a whole video on the fact that money is not wealth. Okay. If money is not wealth, what's wealth? Wealth is your ability to solve problems for somebody other than yourself. Because if I can solve a problem for somebody other than me, that person will pay me the money they have in their pocket for the solution that I have in my mind. And so I have to become an active, aggressive, other people problem solver, right? That's where
Starting point is 00:08:18 it begins. And so one of the reasons beginners have a hard time making money is because they're attempting to solve their own money problems instead of seeking to solve somebody else's life problem. If you solve somebody else's life problems, if those life problems are big enough when you solve them, and there is a big enough pool of people who have them, oh, you will solve all of your money problems. Yeah. So fascinating. This is an interesting reframe because you're right. I bet most people listening here were struggling. It's like, that's the question. Even because you're right i bet most people listening who are struggling it's like that's the question even when you're teaching even when you're talking about sales the reason people struggle with sales is because they hope the people they're talking to buy when i'm selling i'm totally divorced totally like i don't mean kind of sort of or pretending to be i am totally
Starting point is 00:09:00 disconnected from the outcome of this conversation. I am only seeking to serve. I was having a conversation with one of my clients and some of my team this morning at breakfast, and I said, you know what would change the world in an instant? Like in five minutes, the whole world would change. What if everybody woke up and made it their mission to figure out how to make everybody's day who they met brighter because they experienced you. That would change the world in an instant. If I focus on, I've got to make sure I'm going to be with Russell. I've got to take care of Russell. I'm going to be with my wife. I've got to take
Starting point is 00:09:35 care of my wife. I'm going to be with my son. I've got to make sure he's taken care of. If I obsess over you and everything fiber of my being is to serve you. If it's to serve you joy or happiness or gratitude or appreciation or a solution to a problem, if that's what I obsess over, you will always have room for me in your life. But if every time you see me, I'm seeking to get something from you, it'll be just an icky relationship and you'll resist the idea of my presence. And so, because I'm not, even when I'm selling, I'm, this is going to sound weird, but when I'm selling, I'm not trying to make a sale. I'm making people aware of a solution that I've created that seems to me to be the best solution I've ever found for this big problem
Starting point is 00:10:20 that they have. And that's where it starts man that changes the game of it i heard i had a conversation with rich sheffrin this is probably like 15 years ago i remember he said something that was so profound because he was like reading all these books and studying and all these things and he said russell i get paid to think for a lot of people and i was like so good oh and i started thinking about that i was like that's how you get paid i get paid so we have to think for other people we have to do what other people aren't willing to do. So I put in the reps to become a master at my craft. So for me, when I started falling in love with funnels, that became my thing.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I was like, I'm going to become the best in the world at this. And so I put in more time and energy and effort than anybody else, right? Because that way, when somebody came to me, it doesn't matter what business, what problem, I've got a funnel that I know exactly how to execute on. I know what it looks like. We talk about this concept of funnel hacking.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I funnel hacked more funnels than any person on this planet. I've got thousands and thousands. I've seen every variation of selling online from you know and like that's why i'm able to solve people's problems so again you come back i gotta figure out make money say no no figure out like you said what's the problem you're gonna solve and then like you get paid for to be able to think for a lot of people so so you got to go out there and become the best like how do you become amazing at whatever your craft's going to be and the better you get at that the more people you can serve more people are going to come to you and it just it fixes all the rest of the problems. More, a hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:11:27 It comes down to mastery. I like to share with my clients and my team and everybody, thinking is the hardest work most people never do. People will maintain a state of physical diligence and work very, very hard at what they already know is not working so they don't have to spend time thinking about what will work better. That's how averse people are to thinking so rich is. I knew it was brilliant, but that's one of the most brilliant things I've ever heard. Yeah, super. Yeah, every time I think about it all the time,
Starting point is 00:11:58 especially if I get tired or if I get whatever the thing might be, and I'm like, man, why am I doing all this work? And it's like, oh, well, I'm getting paid to think for a lot of people. So I need to read another book. I got another podcast. I got to keep studying. I keep doing things because you have to read the books they won't read. You have to think the thoughts they won't think. Yeah. So good, man. Yeah. And people are, um, like you said, thinking so hard people. And it's fascinating to me because like you said, they'll do, they'll do so much more work to not actually have to think and figure out the solution. And it's been interesting for me. I've, I've been, I'm writing a book about success and personal development.
Starting point is 00:12:27 So much of it is thinking, right. Um, and like understanding how we think and things like that. But a lot of, a big part of it is like being able to sit with a problem long enough to figure out the answer. Most people, they have the problem and they go, Oh, they can't figure it out. You know, like I'll ask them to look for another problem or ask them a question like hey what do you think about this like i don't know and then soon they say i don't know it just stops they stop thinking and instead of like let me think about that for a minute and then like for me i'll think about it i'll think about it like but i have to be quiet if i if i go and listen to another podcast reading the book during that time like i can't think like now i'm thinking about my my mind's being distracted it's like how do i sit in the moment
Starting point is 00:13:02 of this thing for a long time i had a had a situation the other day, um, Todd, my business partner, click funnels, he messaged me with this problem. And, um, it was a big, it was a big problem. And it was funny. It was right before my birthday. I was packing my bags. We're about to leave to go to Miami to go out to UC two 99, everything. Todd messaged me this thing. And I'm like, Oh, and I messaged him back. I'm like, Oh, I didn't. Whoa. Okay. And I, you know, I was like, okay, let me think about that. I stopped. And then for the next hour, I'm packing my bags and stuff. And I was like, okay, let me think about that. I stopped. And then for the next hour, I'm packing my bags and stuff and I'm not listening to anything.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I'm just sitting there thinking and thinking. And with about 15 or 20 minutes of me being in that state long enough, Austin's like, what about this and this? And Austin's things are popping up. And 15 minutes later, I voxed Todd back. I was like, all right, I got the solution. Here it is.
Starting point is 00:13:38 I'd rattle off to him and he comes back. He's like, how did you come up with that? And I was like, I just sat with it for a few minutes. Most people freak out and they think about the worst case scenario, this and that. And it's just like, let's just think about it. Like, what do we know? Like, we've been doing this for a long time.
Starting point is 00:13:49 The solution's there, right? So I don't believe that God gives us any problems that he doesn't also give us like the solution or the ability to solve the problem, but we gotta be willing to like dig through it to find it. So good. It's interesting. Okay. So that's number one is we figure out the problem.
Starting point is 00:14:02 We figure out the solution. Now, how do we turn that into a, Because there's, there's, we have to craft something, right? And then we have to sell, but how do we, how do we take, how do we turn that solution into like profit? Yeah. To a sellable asset. So yes, to a sellable asset. So, so for me, I think about, okay, it depends on how, like how fast is fast for you, right? Um, I can solve a $1 problem for a million people and make a million bucks, or I can solve a $10 problem for 100,000 people, or I can solve a $1,000 problem for 1,000 people, or I can solve a $10,000 problem for 100 people,
Starting point is 00:14:37 or I can solve a $100,000 problem for 10 people. And so when you're first starting out, it's hard for you to believe, but maybe it wasn't hard for you, but it was hard for me to believe that there was somebody out there who'd be willing to pay me $10,000 for something or a hundred thousand or 3000 for that matter. I remember when I did my first premium value offer, I made the price in my mind so high. I knew nobody would ever pay me for this solution but I said if I don't make the offer the offer I don't make is the offer they can't take so I put the price tag on it three thousand dollars exactly and I didn't care if they didn't buy it I was doing it for the revenue. And two people bought it. Wait. And there were only maybe 10 or 15
Starting point is 00:15:31 people in the room. Two people bought my $3,000 thing. Like, what just happened? Oh, the price was too low. The next time I offered it, I made it $4,000. Seven people bought it. So back up to answer your question. I think that the first thing we have to do is we have to find a big pool of people that all have the same problem, right? Whatever that problem is, it's either going to be a financial problem, a relationship problem, a health problem, a business problem, some kind of problem, a technology problem, a software problem, a leadership problem, a delegation problem, an automation problem. But there are all kinds of problems in the world. There are all kinds of people who have problems. And the bigger the pool of people is,
Starting point is 00:16:13 and the deeper their pockets are, the more I can charge for the solution. And the reason I can charge more for the solution if their pockets are deep is because people with deep pockets have problems that cost them more money if they don't solve them. And so then after I figure out what the solution is, cause I'm, I sit there and I think about it. I, one of the things I think about when I'm thinking about their problem is how much is it costing them not to have this solution? And so when I present it to them before I ever show them how much my solution costs if they say yes I show them how much it costs to say no to my solution before I show them how much it costs to say yes because I've evaluated that and some people think well yeah but that's true
Starting point is 00:16:58 for making money offers that's not true for other kinds of offers sure it is so one of the people who's in who I met in your mastermind, who's also in my mastermind is Annie Grace. And she teaches people how to get control over alcohol. And, um, I remember the first time she ever bought a coaching program from me, it was $25,000 and she had an event coming up and she says, Myron, I got an event coming up in two weeks. Do you have any tips for me? I said, it depends. What are you going to sell? She said, nothing. I said, is it okay if I coach you? She said, sure. I said, that's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life. Like my face melted. Right. And she said, Oh, um, what are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:17:42 I said, what are you going to do if you're not selling them something? She said, oh, I created this 80-page manual. We're just going to work through the manual during the three-day event. I said, can I coach you again? She said, yeah. I said, that is the second worst idea I've ever heard in my life. She said, well, what should I do? I said, sell them a coaching program.
Starting point is 00:17:59 What do I put in it? Take the stuff from that 80-page manual and put it in the coaching program. Well, how much should I sell it for? What would make you smile? She said, I don't know, $4,000. I said, great. Sell it for 6,000. What? How do you do that? Well, just so happens, Annie, I've got an event coming up Monday and Tuesday. This was on a Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Fly out now quick. Right. Change your flight. Instead of going home to your four kids, come to Tampa, spend two days with me on Monday and Tuesday. This is my promise to you.
Starting point is 00:18:25 If you got 170 people coming to your event, my promise to you is if you come to this two-day event and you do the stuff I tell you, worst case scenario, instead of having this event that's going to cost you 50 grand, you will do a minimum of $170,000 in sales. And she looked at me with all the sincerity that a human being could have. And she says, but how can you say that? I said, because I understand how it works. She said, okay, I trust you. She changed her flight, wired me $25,000, showed up at the event, went back, did two weeks later, did her event. She kept on sending me questions on Voxer. What about this? What about this? And I answer all her questions. I'm giving you the short version.
Starting point is 00:19:08 She did her event two weeks later. She texted, she Voxed me with the video. I actually still have the video. I can send it to you if you want to. Anyway, it was great. She said, Myron, I just finished my event. She's not teaching people how to make money. She's teaching people how to get control over alcohol, not even teaching them how to quit drinking. She said, Myron, people came to me thanking me in tears for creating this program. They said this is exactly what they've been waiting for. She did $264,000 in sales because she created a solution. And she said, but how do I charge for this?
Starting point is 00:19:43 So that's the question he asked me. How do you charge for this? It's not a make money offer. I said, okay, but it doesn't cost them anything if they don't buy it. Oh, it doesn't really. Has anybody ever gotten divorced because they couldn't get control over their alcohol? She said, yeah. How much do divorces cost? Well, at least half, half a wedding, everything. And I said, have any of the partners who divorced their spouse because they couldn't get control over alcohol gotten in a relationship with a new partner? Yes. Have any of the people who got in that relationship with a new partner ever had one of the children molested by that new partner? Yes. Have any of the children
Starting point is 00:20:12 that have ever been molested by that new partner ever committed suicide because they were molested by that new partner and felt like they didn't have anybody to talk to? Yes. How much do divorces cost? How much would it be worth not to have one of your children molested? How much would it be worth not to have them commit suicide because they feel like they have no place to go. And if people who get so toe up from the flow up by drugs or alcohol or whatever, realize that that was the ultimate price they were going to have to pay, they would get control over it. But you have to show them how much it's going to cost if they don't get it under control. She said, Oh, now I get it. Yes. And I said, you said
Starting point is 00:20:46 you're the best at this. You said there's nobody else that has the stick rate and the results that you have. Are you the best? Oh, I'm the best. I said, I thought you said you love these people. She said, I do. I said, then why would you let them come to you, the person who has the best answers for them, and then not sell them something, but let them come to you, the person who has the best answers for them, and then not sell them something, but let them go out into the marketplace and pay $30,000 for a rehab center or $25,000 for this, that, or the third when they could pay you $6,000 and they could have victory for the first time in their adult life? She said, I never thought of it that way. I know now why you paid me so you can think of it that way. So anyway, so I showed her the cost of them not getting the result.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And then she showed them the cost and they came to her thanking her in tears, paid her and their lives have been changed forever. Yeah, I wanna make sure everyone caught that because I think what people miss a lot of times is they think, I'm selling a course, the course is worth $1,000. I'm selling a mastermind, mastermind's worth this.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And you're saying, it's not the tangible thing. It's the benefit of what comes comes from that thing the fruits of it right because that's the shift right like me getting you to spend twenty five thousand dollars and we turn to boise idaho for a mastermind that uh you know to come here and you couldn't buy a hotel room it wasn't the twenty five thousand dollars got some mastermind costs right it's it's the transformation that happens as a result of the transaction too many people who are selling things are seeking the transaction and if they obsess over the transformation of their potential client more than they obsess over the transaction that's when the game changes yeah so fascinating
Starting point is 00:22:20 so it comes down to the steps like first off is figuring out exactly what what's the problem you solve then figure out how you how much it costs if they don't solve it and then so let's say the problem is going to cost them ten thousand dollars if they don't solve it i feel very comfortable charging them a thousand dollars for that because now that because if i said to you russ i'll tell you what if you give me a dollar i'll give you ten dollars would you take that deal yeah well who only an idiot would say no to that right okay tell I'll tell you what, if you give me a dollar, I'll give you $10. Would you take that deal? Yep. Well, who, only an idiot would say no to that, right? Okay, tell you what, you give me $10, I'll give you $100.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Would you take that deal? Yep. You give me $100, I'll give you $1,000. You probably don't want that one. I'm taking it. You take it. I mean, you give me $1,000, I'll give you $10,000. Still?
Starting point is 00:22:58 You want it? Still in. What if I said, you give me $10,000, I'll give you $100,000. You still want it? Yep. What if I said, you give me $100,000, I'll give you $1,000,000. What would you say to that? Yes. Do it. What if I said, I give me a hundred thousand, I give you a million. What would you say to that? Yes. What if I said, I'm only going to do one? Which one would you want? The first one or the last one or one in the middle? The last one. Why? The last one's the most expensive, but you still
Starting point is 00:23:13 said the last one. Why? Because you understand now how to think like a person seeking a transformation and not a person seeking to have a transaction because you realize that you're thinking about how much it's worth more than you're thinking about how much it costs. The cost is irrelevant. The cost is just the cost. There's a cost to say yes, there's a cost to say no. Which one costs more? So my formula for calculating how much I should charge somebody for something is if I can help them 10x their return on investment in 12 months or less, my price is not too high. Now, it doesn't have to be 10x. It could be 2x. It could be 3x. It could be 5x. It could be 20x. It could be 500x. But for
Starting point is 00:23:54 me, what I feel comfortable with, I feel like if I can help somebody have a 10x return on their money inside 12 months, I've not charged them too much. So fast forward last year, the same woman, Annie Grace, she bought a $350,000 coaching program for me. And I just recently spoke at her event in Tampa, Florida,
Starting point is 00:24:21 and helped her figure out a premium offer that's going to change not just her business, but change the world. And she did a million dollars in revenue in a day. So people are like, how can you charge somebody $350,000 to spend a day with you? Because I understand that making $5 million in 12 months, understanding the stuff that I'm going to share with them, it's a cakewalk. So, but I wouldn't sell that to everybody because everybody doesn't have the ability to solve a $3.5 million problem for the marketplace, but she does.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Yeah. Hey, funnel hackers, let's be real. How many of you have forgotten about subscriptions and you keep paying for these things month after month after month? That was my wife and I before Rocket Money came along. Literally a couple months ago, we downloaded this app and within minutes we found out a whole bunch of subscriptions. In fact, we had multiple Hulu payments, multiple Disney payments from accounts that my wife had set up
Starting point is 00:25:16 and I had set up and we weren't even using one of them. It was crazy. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps you to find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money showed us where all of our subscriptions were in one place. In fact, it was crazy how many recurring payments we had that we had completely forgotten about. With just a couple of clicks, Rocket Money canceled the ones we didn't need. And the best part is they even monitor unusual spending activity and they alert us if our bills increase.
Starting point is 00:25:42 So I'm always in the loop. Rocket Money has over 5 million users, including my wife and I, and has saved a total of over $500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 per year when using all of the app's premium features. In fact, my wife and I, we literally saved over a thousand dollars a month when we started using Rocket App. Now their dashboard is amazing and you get a clear view of all your expenses across every account you have. You can even create a personalized budget with custom categories and track your monthly spending trends to stay on top of your goals. You want to save for that dream vacation or pay off some debt?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Their new goals feature automatically saves money for you so you don't even have to think about it.

And let me ask you, are your B2B ads actually driving results or are they getting lost in the noise?
Starting point is 00:26:37 You and I both know the pain of running campaigns that fall flat because they aren't seen by the right people. But here's the game changer, LinkedIn ads. LinkedIn isn't just another ad platform. It's the place where professionals live. I'm talking about the decision makers you dream about working with. CEOs, VPs, C-suite powerhouses, 130 million of them all in one place. And LinkedIn gives you the laser sharp targeting
Starting point is 00:26:57 to reach them by job title, company, and even industry. Imagine how your business could scale if your message hits the right inboxes every time. Now here's the kicker. LinkedIn delivers up to five times higher ROAS than other platforms. Yeah, you heard me right. Five times more return on every ad dollar. And that's because LinkedIn's professional environment is made for people who actually take action. This isn't where people scroll mindlessly. This is where they're making decisions. So stop playing small because it's time to level up. Start converting your B2B audience into high quality leads today. And to get started, LinkedIn is offering you $100 credit for your next campaign. Go to linkedin.com slash clicks to claim your credit. That's
Starting point is 00:27:34 linkedin.com slash clicks. Terms and conditions may apply. LinkedIn is the place to be, to be. I'm turning back like when I first got started in this business, because the very first thing I sold was, as you know, a DVD teach people how to make potato guns and that you said there's not a big market for that people aren't going to spend a hundred grand or five grand or even a hundred dollars for dvd right but I did that and I learned the process and from that little business my first business had success it was making like five grand a month or something when it was running before google shut me down but I was like this is amazing this is amazing right and i remember one of my friends actually invited me to speak at his event and i never spoke to marketing i never taught mark it wasn't my it was not my plan my plan
Starting point is 00:28:11 was make potato guns the rest of my life that was the big idea potato gun man so we're doing these we're doing this like i go to this event and i show up and i'm wearing a shirt and tie my glasses my shaved head because i thought business people had to wear shirt and ties and i come and i i just taught my process here step one or step two and i showed exactly what i did i showed my little funnel of my potato gun i explained all different pieces of it i saw that video somewhere we should like relaunch that on youtube like here's here's 21 year old russell first time ever teaching potato gun secrets anyway but that was the very first thing but i was teaching to business owners who know how to problem and it was deeper for them and they saw
Starting point is 00:28:43 that and um i remember afterwards people like this this is amazing. Like I want a business that's making me $5,000 a month on the side. And all of a sudden I'm like, well, what would you pay for that? Right. And it was interesting. And I, but it didn't click for me still. I still, like I'm a potato gun selling guy. I didn't think about that. And when the event got done, they gave me a DVD of that presentation. And I was like, Oh, so I put it online and I started selling a few of them and people were buying it. And it was just kind of this cool thing. And I remember, um, uh, I joined a mastermind group with Matt Fury, who he was the wrestling guy. Right. So I was like, I'm a wrestler. So I like, I connected with him mentally. I'm like, I love this guy. And I was selling
Starting point is 00:29:15 potato gun DVDs. He was selling like old farmer burns wrestling courses, you know? So I joined his mastermind group. And I, I remember this is before webinars, before zoom was all in tele seminars, uh, which we've talked about teleeminars a lot before, but I jump on this teleseminar from my very first coaching call. And I remember, I don't know how many people were in the room, but he's talking for a little while and then he has a hot seat. So his first guy comes up. I still remember the guy's Brooks cubics. I ended up buying all Brooks of stuff. I, one of my favorite people. And, um, and Brooks is like in the weightlifting market, like he lifts weights and he has a couple, he has a book called dinosaur strength training and, and these DVDs and like, and
Starting point is 00:29:47 so Brooks is on like, Hey Matt, what would you do if like to me to like take my business to the next level? And you know, he's like, I got a $20 book and a $50 DVD teaching weightlifting. And I've got, you know, however many, 10,000 customers. And Matt's like, well, you know what you should do? I bet you there's a percentage of those customers who, who would, who would think it was really cool to come to your house and actually lift weights with you. You should put an offer out to your list, charge $5,000 and come to your house. And, uh, and you'll get 10 of them to show
Starting point is 00:30:11 up and you make 50 grand. And Brooke's like, that's amazing. I'm going to do it. And I was like, huh? And then the next person got on, I think they were an artist if I remember right. And, uh, same kind of thing. I've got a product of this. What should I do, Matt? And Matt's like, you know what you should do? I bet some of your students like to come to your house and do art with you. You should charge $5,000, have them come to your house with you. And that person's like, oh, I'm going to do it. And then the third person came on, same advice. After three times in a row, I was like, you know what I should do? I should have people come to my house and I'll show them how I'm doing my potato gun business, right? And so I sent an email out to this little list I had of people
Starting point is 00:30:41 who bought the DVD. I was like, hey, you saw the DVD, right? How many of you guys like to come to my house? And I'm going to show you guys how I was like, Hey, you saw the DVD, right? How many guys like to come to my house? And I'm going to show you guys how we actually send, you know, word for word. I sent out like that night after the thing went out and I put it, I remember I set up a PayPal button. That's all it was. PayPal button,
Starting point is 00:30:53 $5,000. I sent a link to this PayPal button and, um, I sent it out. And next morning I woke up and nothing happened. I was like, Oh man, that Matt Fury scammed me.
Starting point is 00:31:02 And then I'm waiting. And then it showed up like three or four o'clock in the afternoon. I'm sitting there working on whatever. And all of a sudden this was ding, oh man, that Matt Fury scammed me. And then I'm waiting. And then it showed up like three or four o'clock in the afternoon. I'm sitting there working on whatever. And all of a sudden, this was ding, ding. I look over and my PayPal account hit $5,000. Someone bought it. And I was like, someone gave me $5,000 for me to teach them how to make a potato gun business. And I was like, I know what to do, you know?
Starting point is 00:31:19 And then like the next day, 10, 11 o'clock in the morning, boom, second one came through. I was like, I have two people who just sent me $5,000 to do a thing. And then I had a third. So three came through and I was just like, okay, so I made like 15,000, like that's more money than I made my entire potato gun business up to that point that fast. And, um, and then I was like freaking out. Cause I'm like, I don't know how to run an event or I'm like, I don't even know what to do. I've never done this before. Um, and so I'm kind of freaking out. And so, um, I like ran this hotel room just to actually down the street from here. And then I remember thinking like, if I had paid $5,000 to
Starting point is 00:31:51 learn from this guy and if I showed up and it was just me and two other people, I'd be like, am I in the wrong room? So I call all my friends, my family members. I'm like, he doesn't want to come out. And like, I have some people who paid five grand to learn this stuff. You guys want to come and learn too. Like you're invited. Just don't tell me you didn't pay because I need to make sure there's some people in the room. And so my friends, my dad came, my family members, and we did this little event with like 30 people. And for three days I taught this process and it was the coolest thing in the world. They loved it. Everyone loved it. I recorded it all. And, um, that's like the way I got started in the very
Starting point is 00:32:18 first time was just like, I put the offer out there and not thinking anyone would buy it. And three people bought. And then I was like, now I'm in business. Now I'm like, I'm a now officially business coach, you know? And it started the, the wheels. And I was just like I put the offer out there and not thinking anyone would buy it. And three people bought. And then I was like, now I'm in business. Now I'm like, I'm a now officially business coach, you know? And it started the wheels. And I was just like, this is crazy that like that people would pay me for that. But like we talked about, it's like, I've shown them how he's building a $5,000 a month business for them to pay $5,000 to learn to make $5,000 a month. That's this one 10, you know, if they do it over 10 months, like it's, it's a no brainer at that point.
Starting point is 00:32:42 So it's like you said, creating something where, where the, where the value is there, which it's not, it seems inexpensive, right? Exactly. It doesn't seem, it doesn't seem expensive. Yeah. The value that's worth way more than the cost. Yeah. So I'm curious for you then, as you kind of started getting back into this business, doing stuff like, do you remember what was the first big offer that you personally did? That was like the one that kind of started shifting things for you? Yeah. Remember I told you about the $25,000 program that Annie Grace bought?
Starting point is 00:33:10 Yeah. When I first offered that in, I think, 2005, that was my $3,000 offer. Same exact content. Just, I think a lot of times what we think is we think that the price is only determined by the value of the offer, but the is only determined by the value of the offer, but the price is determined by the value of the offer times the value of the audience. And so I was teaching people who were in multi-level marketing how to make money in the seminar business. And they had enough money to pay $3,000 or $4,000 or $5,000 or $7,000.
Starting point is 00:33:40 But when I started teaching people who had like significant multimillion dollar businesses, this is how you monetize standing on stage and selling to an audience. Like the amount of money, like I don't sell that course by itself anymore. I sell it in a mastermind that's like 55 grand. And we have probably 130, 140 people in that program. And it's $55,000 per year. We have people who've been in it for three, four years. And so, and that's just one of the things we teach, but, but the idea that that little 3000, I was, I was, I created the price at $3,000 cause I knew nobody was going to pay me that amount of money. And when I stopped selling it by itself, I was selling it
Starting point is 00:34:20 for 30,000. And that it's just, it's mind blowing. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That was the first one. So exciting. Um, okay. My next question then, again, this is for beginners who are just getting started. Cause maybe they're like, okay, I see how I could do this.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I say I can solve a problem. I can become really good at it. I can put together an offer. The next question is like, how do you get this out to people? You know what I mean? Like, especially if you're brand new, it's like, I don't have an audience. I don't have a list yet. I don't have any following.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Like, and it's funny because most people like it's easy for you because you have a following like well i didn't when i started like and neither do i yeah so how do you like how do you get the wheel spinning so you actually start something remember when i launched my very first website very first one um i told you i bought a course by cory rudal and i literally i went to my little brother because he's the only person i knew who knew how to build a website like this was back in the days where you had to use Microsoft front page. As wonky as it was to build a website. And so I went to my brother.
Starting point is 00:35:12 I'm like, Dwayne, like there's this kid who makes $400,000 a year teaching people how to play the piano by ear on the internet. And like. Jermaine Griggs. Exactly, Jermaine Griggs. And I'm like, dude, i know how to do all this marketing stuff but i don't know how to build a website if we partner together we can make all this money and so my brother's experience with making websites was he built websites for business owners who are very very small business owners who took them they took forever to get him the
Starting point is 00:35:39 content for the website they always wanted stuff changed they didn't want to pay him for the changes so to him building a website was a headache so he didn't want to have anything to do with this whole idea of mine. He thought I was like way out in the field. And I kept, dude, let's do this. He says, look, man. He said, do you want to learn how to build a website? Do what I did. Go to the church library. There's the videos in there. Professor teaches Microsoft front page and build the website yourself. now i'm really confused number one why is my little brother talking about this that's the first thing i was a little irritated by second thing i was irritated by was and just confused by why do we have videos
Starting point is 00:36:14 in the church library i was so confused i'm like okay the next day i wouldn't get the bible sections like websites right so i went and got my professor teaches it was a whole series he teaches excel he teaches front page he teaches powerpoint but i said professor teaches microsoft front page and so i started going through it and they there was all this language that didn't make any sense you have to build an index.html file i'm like i don't even know what that is like where do you where do you find the definitions for all the stuff that everybody acts like everybody should know what it is anyway it took me 30 days to build that website. And it was for a four cassette tape program called Bigger, Better, Faster Network Marketing.
Starting point is 00:36:55 And I sold it for $67. And sometimes I would do a combo offer with another product that I created for my accountant. And I'd sell both of them together for $97. And so I built my website. And I decided before I built the website, if I can make $400 my first month, this is going to be game over. If I can make 700, I will be the king of internet marketing mountain. And I didn't make 400 and I didn't make 700. I did $6,700 my first month as an unknown beginner entrepreneur. Where'd the people come from? Somebody has your audience. You don't need an audience. You need access to someone who has an audience. And so there was this guy named Jeff. He had a, he had a teleseminar conference call
Starting point is 00:37:41 every Tuesday night. He asked me to come on and speak on his conference call and he let me make them an offer. He didn't even want an affiliate commission. So I went on, I taught this really cool stuff about multi-level marketing because this whole group was multi-level marketing people. I made the offer for my package for $97. 5,700 of the $6,700 came in in 24 hours after I did that call. I was like, what? What just happened? I'm so confused right now. So I said, okay, conference call.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I'm going to start a conference call. I'm going to do a conference call every week, right? So I started a conference call every Monday night. Jeff was on Tuesday night. I didn't want to compete with him. He helped me. I'm like, I'll start a Monday night conference call. And I did a conference call every Mondayay night just was on tuesday night i want to compete with him he helped me i'm like i started monday night conference call and i did a conference call every monday night for years at 9 p.m called the hour to empower and i would just teach content three weeks out of the month
Starting point is 00:38:37 and then one week i'd make an offer so but i thought the first month 6700 that had to be a fluke there's no way this happens all the time. A peak out already. Right. Yeah. I completely maxed out my whole audience forever. Right. But the next month, we did $5,100.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I'm like, yeah, it's still a fluke. The next month, it was like $6,800. What is this? You mean there's this much money in this computer right now, and it's been there all along, and I didn't know it? And by December, that was May. The first month was december that was may the first month was may or no the first month was june of 2005 by december of 2005 i had my first ten thousand dollar month like what is this i was a beginner i had no audience i was myron the owl people say what's myron the owl like when somebody said myron golden they said myron who right right so i was myron the Owl? Like when somebody said Myron Golden, they said, Myron who? Right?
Starting point is 00:39:27 So I was Myron the Owl. Nobody knew who I was. I had no list. I had no following. I had no reputation. I had no YouTube channel. I had no Instagram following. There was no Instagram or YouTube back then.
Starting point is 00:39:34 But I had nothing. I just knew people who had audiences. And I figured out a way because they felt like the things that I had to offer were valuable to their audience. They would put me in front of their audience. And then their audience, part of their audience became my audience. And the next thing you knew, I had people to talk to. Yeah. So cool. I think it's first off my renew. That's amazing. It's interesting. Cause I look at like how I launched businesses today, new, new businesses, new brands we go into. Cause most people they do now, especially nowadays, they, I'm going to run Facebook ads or I'm going to, you know, like that's the default, which especially if you're
Starting point is 00:40:02 beginners hard. Cause it's like, I, when we were on challenges, we're fin, you know, that's the default which especially if you're beginners hard because it's like when we run challenges we're paying you know three to five to ten dollars per lead if you're a beginner you're not gonna be able to charge you're gonna spend that like it doesn't work so we're doing even in businesses that that we do have some money but i don't want to i don't want to front load the cash up front right ready this is the simplest thing i grab my phone and i open up itunes i go to the podcast directory i find my my category it's like business or health or relate whatever it's relationships you go there and then itunes will show you the top 200 shows in your space wow it's all you do then you go to the shows and every single one of the shows it's the easiest free it's the most easy free traffic and then the key is like you can't just
Starting point is 00:40:36 go with like hey you put me on your podcast because i can do it like you went to your dude and you had a hook right at a different angle something unique you could bring his audience and so you gotta figure out what's the thing again you come back like what's the problem you're really good at solving like the best in the world and you find your category if you're the best at solving that specific problem like if i if i was going to relaunch my business today i would go to the top 100 business podcast top 200 message everyone like hey my name is russell brunson i'm the best on the planet at doing funnels i'd love to come do a free training uh or on your podcast teaching how your people can use funnels. I'd love to come do a free training on your podcast,
Starting point is 00:41:05 teaching how your people can use funnels. And if I message the top 200 people in iTunes, if I get 10 to say yes, that's a million dollar business right there. That's it, right? Absolutely. We have the same thing with, we have a personality profiling company
Starting point is 00:41:18 we're launching called Understand.me. And so the same thing is like, well, how are we gonna get traffic? I'm like, well, the niche, the guru in our space is Mandy. Mandy's like, she's really, really good at this thing, like personality prof we get traffic i'm like well the niche the the guru in our space is mandy mandy's like uh she's really really good at this thing like personally profiling but so we go to personal development and there's a million personal podcasts but her angle's like hey here's how to take personal profiles to understand yourself better and
Starting point is 00:41:34 understand the people you love that hook now every single person is going to say yes so we're literally had this this talk two days ago uh next week we're going through hitting the top 200 podcasts we get 10 people say yes 10 audiences she audiences in front of that changes the game overnight. That pain is for single ads. The same thing. It's like figuring out who's already got the audience. You are really good at solving a problem that's unique to you that no one else has. And you come in there and you pitch yourself like, hey, I can be on your show and I can
Starting point is 00:41:56 share this thing like that. It's game changing that fast. Yeah, it's game changer. It's so interesting that people think that you have to have all of the resources. You just have to be resourceful enough to tap into the resources. It doesn't have to be about you. In fact, it never really is about you anyway. Yeah.

So he's going to go go show his shoes he goes in there and they're like well who are you you don't have a booth you can't have shoes here he's like but i need a booth like sorry i'm a booth so most people would have quit right then like i don't move i'm gonna leave but he didn't have the resources but he's resourceful so he went outside and he's like okay i'm gonna do this i'm gonna i'm gonna get a van and park it out front i'm with my shoes in it and so he goes and buys
Starting point is 00:45:02 a van parks it up front and within like 15 minutes cops come and like you can't park here he's like why not like you don't have a license like how do i get licensed he's like um i don't go talk to the city so he pulls his van away and again right then most people would stop but he's like i don't have the resources but i'm resourceful so he goes down the city he's like hey um i need to get a license to have a van out in front of the convention center and like you can't get a license like why not it's like with only people we have license to are people who are who are doing movies he's like oh so if i was doing a movie then you would let me in he's like yeah so okay so he leaves the place and again most people stop right there he walked across the street found like a kinkos or something and he got a business card printed
Starting point is 00:45:35 called kenneth cole productions and he walked back and he said hey i'm from kenneth cole productions i'm filming a movie called the making of a shoe and i need to get a license so i can uh i can get a thing outside and so um they gave him a license so I can get a thing outside. I love this story so much. And so they gave him a license. He drives out front. He opens up the van, puts all his shoes out there, and then he finds some cops and tells them. So the cops wall off a section around him,
Starting point is 00:45:55 and then he finds some people, and he can't afford videotapes, but he rents some cameras, so people holding cameras that don't have film in it, walking around this whole thing, and launches a shoes company there. And to this day, his company's still called Kenneth Cole Productions because that's the story behind it. that don't have film in it, walking around this whole thing and launches a shoes company there. And to this day,
Starting point is 00:46:05 his company is still called Kenneth Cole Productions because that's the story behind it. Isn't that crazy? So he didn't have the resources, but he was resourceful. And you think about how many steps along the way people would have quit. They would have quit.
Starting point is 00:46:16 They would have quit. Like, oh, I don't have traffic. Oh, I don't have an offer. I don't have an idea. I don't have a problem I can solve. It's like, stop stopping. Like, keep going forward. Like, just find the things. If you keep doing that, if you're aggressive with it, you keep doing it, like, the ways will moving. I keep going forward. Like just find the things.
Starting point is 00:46:25 If you keep doing that, if you're aggressive with it, you keep doing it. Like the ways will open. I feel like the world or God or whoever you want to call is like waiting to see if you like, how bad you actually want it. And if you're willing to keep doing it and keep stepping forward, the, the answers will show up. It's like, we're talking about thinking. And most of it, I don't know the answer. They stop. Like, don't stop. Like just keep thinking and thinking. And if you do that, you show that you're, that you're sincere in your pursuit of it. The answer will show up. It always does for me. Wow. It's, it's, it's amazing. One of the things I've noticed about the difference between people who are hyper successful and the people who live on the struggle bus is this people who are hyper
Starting point is 00:46:58 successful are more aware of their leverage than they are their limitations. People who live on the struggle bus are more aware of their limitations than they are of their leverage than they are their limitations. People who live on the struggle bus are more aware of their limitations than they are of their leverage. Both have limitations, both have leverage. They're just tapped into two totally different sides of the same coin. That's crazy. So for someone who is in that spot where their whole life they haven't been aware of it, how do you become aware of it, do you think? What's the trick for someone who's watching? I don't know that there is a trick. I think you have to allow yourself to sit in a situation that's so painful you must change like i cannot will not live like this anymore you have to reach the point of no return or no rewards I know, what does that even mean?
Starting point is 00:47:48 So this is a, so I don't know if you've ever taken flying lessons, but flying lessons are amazing. It's like flying lessons. Like flying an airplane. Flying an airplane. Okay, now. Will teach you so much about life that it's not even funny. Like all the lessons that are in there are almost immeasurable.
Starting point is 00:48:03 So an airplane has to be going about 140 miles an hour to take off, right? So when you go down a runway and you're picking up ground speed to get to the point where the plane will take off, you reach a point on the runway where it's so far down the runway that you can't stop without crashing into whatever's at the end of the runway, or you have to take off. So they call that the point of no return. But I don't call it the point of no return. I call it the point of no return or the point of no rewards. And here's why. Because the point of no return is only the point of no return, but it's not the point of no return for them because they're not going fast enough to take off anyway. So they can retreat and go back and start over and they keep getting close, ooching up. No, today's not the day I'm going to take off. And they go back to the starting.
Starting point is 00:48:56 And then that today's not the day you have to be going so fast. You have to be so committed to your outcome that when you reach that point, it's either we're going to fly today or we're going to crash and burn, but we can't go back. Most people are unwilling to put themselves in a situation where they can't go back. That's so cool. That's fascinating. I think about a lot of times with people I watch who come into this world, especially the ones who are the rabid learners, right? They listen to every podcast, every video, every, everything. They come to all the events, they do stuff. And like, last time, like, how long have you been doing this? Like, oh, I've been doing this five years. I love it. I'm like, well, show me your offer. Show me your funnel.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Show me whatever it is. Like, well, I'm still working on it. I'm like, five years I've been working on it. And I had this realization, um, probably a year, two and a half years ago or something like that, that I was like, for some people, like, this is their dream. This is their vision thing they want. Right. And their fear is not that they're going to fail the fear is like if i try and i and it doesn't work then my dream will die and so because of that they stay in this zone where they're just learning and studying and like trying to understand it and they're too scared to do it because if because if yeah they don't they just don't want their dream to die so because of they wouldn't they're they wouldn't like they're more willing to not even try um i think that's just such an interesting
Starting point is 00:50:08 thing like versus the opposite sides like that dream is just a dream until you until you do something yeah and if it does if it doesn't work like what i found and i'm sure and maybe you have a similar experience like when i'm pursuing something and i and i jump it's rare that like the dream that i think i'm chasing is the dream that i end up with right one thousand percent like i didn't think i was gonna be doing click funnels or any things like i think i was gonna be speaking or on like i'm this awkward shy kid who never had that wasn't my desire my desire was like i was moving towards this thing and the the dream kept shifting and changing eventually it's like whoa i'm in this really cool place it's way better than i ever dreamt of but like it's the pursuit of it it's like the bing bing like you said just to take
Starting point is 00:50:44 that and go that that causes it and not being afraid of like the dream dying because that's how you actually realize the dream live it yeah the beautiful thing about like going fast enough to take off when you get to the point of no return when you take off it turns you into a totally different person than you were when you kept reaching uping up to it. Because now you don't just believe you can fly. You know you can. And so many people protect themselves from that because they're so afraid and have so much anxiety around what if it doesn't work? I've got good news for you. Here's the answer to what if it doesn't work. It's already not working. So if it doesn't work it's already not working so if it doesn't work nothing changes but at least if you do it there's a chance things could change for the better yeah think about that people like they're scared to try because they think that they failed and they're a
Starting point is 00:51:35 failure and it's like understand it's like no if you fail you're not a failure like failures if you're a failure a researcher 100 like failure is like the best data rich source of info we have like i feel like i i cheated in this whole world because like my upbringing was wrestling so wrestling is a an interesting sport because like you step out there's you and someone else nobody else out there and and the number of undefeated wrestlers have ever walked this planet are very few of any right like i lost a lot and i'm losing like in a singlet out in front of a huge it's it's hard and like but like because i lost so many times like i got used i started realizing like if i lose i'm not a loser if i fail i'm not a failure like it was a data point like i'd wrestle
Starting point is 00:52:13 somebody and i lose and then that night my dad and i'd be watching the film and i'm looking at and analyzing and come back the next day we make the tweaks adjustments and then i would beat that person two weeks later the next turn you know and i started realizing like okay i need to do the thing so i can fail quickly so I can adjust So look at my world like even now like we launch more funnels than probably anyone You asked me earlier you work eight hours a day. I'm like, yeah because I love this game Like it's so much fun, but we launch funnels all the time and what people understand They think like all russell launches a funnel and it works like no
Starting point is 00:52:38 No, I launch funnels quickly because I want to find out what the mistakes are We throw it out there. We watch the data within like 24 hours I'm, like most our funnels do not work out of the gate. Just so you guys are fully aware. They don't work. The numbers, the metrics, nothing's working.
Starting point is 00:52:49 It's like, Oh, but then we get the data back and now we know how to adjust. Like we try to create the best thing based on the information we have at the time, throw it out there in the world, oops, throw it out there in the world, see what happens and then come back and make the adjustments and try again,
Starting point is 00:53:01 try again, try again. And, and now like our, you know, from, from initial launch to success is faster because we've done it so many times, but I get to understand like, that's the model. The again, try again, try again. And now like our, you know, from initial launch to success is faster because we've done it so many times.
Starting point is 00:53:07 But you have to understand like that's the model. The model is not like, oh, if I fail, I'm a failure. It's like, no, go quickly fail so you get the data back so you can make the adjustments so you can succeed. Like that's the shift I think some people are missing, especially beginners. Like they're so scared, like no, just go and do it. And then based on that, all the data will come back
Starting point is 00:53:22 and you know how to shift and make the change you got to make. There are things that you, there are lessons that you can only learn by doing the thing that you're learning. You can't learn it by reading about it in a book. As somebody wrote in a book, you cannot teach a kid to ride a bike at a seminar. You got to get on the bike. Yeah. Put on the bike and push them out there. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:53:40 So fascinating. They're going to fall, but they'll get up. Yeah. Dude, thanks for being on this again. I think hopefully this was awesome for all you guys, especially those who are beginning or trying to figure these things out and getting past a lot of those psychological barriers we have and understanding this is not rocket science.
Starting point is 00:53:53 It's like figuring out a problem that you can solve, becoming great at it, creating an offer based on it. Yeah. I think the best advice I can give to beginners is never assign a level of difficulty to an endeavor before you even do something about it, before you engage in the activity. The only place that anything is ever really hard is in your head before you do it. People say, well, this is hard. Well, everything's hard if you don't know how to do it. People say, well, this is hard.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Well, everything's hard if you don't know how to do it. And so what happens is if we approach it from the standpoint that it's difficult, then we will practice it with the belief that it's difficult and then we will prove to ourselves that we're right. If it's difficult, it's not stronger than you.
Starting point is 00:54:43 It's not bigger than you. It's not better than you. It doesn't matter if you're 6, 16, or 65. When you landed on this planet, you couldn't walk. You couldn't talk. You couldn't ride a bike. You couldn't use a phone. You couldn't use a computer.
Starting point is 00:54:54 You couldn't hold a fork in your hand. You couldn't hold your head still. All you have to do, if you're watching me right now on YouTube, all you have to do to know that you can succeed is this. Look in the rear view mirror of your life. Look at all of the things that you have learned. Take inventory of them. If nothing else, that will show you there's nothing you can't learn. Thanks, man, for being here, for sharing your time and your wisdom with everybody. Always a pleasure.
