Russell Brunson argues that worrying about integration issues with tools like Infusionsoft or AWeber is a distraction if you're not already making serious money. ClickFunnels members average $600k daily Stripe revenue, he says, so a $100/month platform that handles opt-ins, sales, and delivery is a bargain. Stop complaining and focus on selling.

Hey everybody, good morning and welcome to Marketing in Your Car. Welcome to the Marketing in Your Car podcast where you can increase your traffic, conversions, and sales in just 10 minutes a day. And now here's your host, Russell Brunson. Alright guys and gals and everybody else who's hanging out with us today. So today it's a beautiful day in Boise, Idaho, so I broke out the Corvette. I think so far on ClickFunnels we've given away like 9 or 10 of these things this year, so if you haven't won yours yet, it's time to to join the ClickFunnels affiliate program. I just wanna give you a car, that's all I want in life, so that's the game plan. Anywho, I hope things are going amazing for you wherever you are today in your business. If you're not smiling yet, please smile. It's amazing how much more goodness will come to you when you smile. Alright, so I wanna talk to you about something that made me laugh. So, I kinda hate Facebook for a lot of reasons, but the main one is there's like a million people and they have unlimited access to talk about you and then tag you and it's so annoying. And then message you, and somehow like most, Facebook blocks out a lot of people, but every once in a while someone gets through and I'm like, how did that person get the ability to get in my inbox and annoy me? Anywho, there was this dude who like, he comes in, and this is a lesson for everybody, okay? So he's stressing out about how like, oh Russell, I want to use ClickFunnels, but I can't because your integration with Infusionsoft doesn't pass all the data, it only passes part of the data, and your integration with Ontraport doesn't do something specialized that I need for my thing, and I was talking to these people over at LeadPages and they were making fun me for using ClickFunnels because LeadPages does integrate with them better and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, all this crap, right? So I had this, you know, first like I was just going to delete it and then like the part of me was just like, this guy is complaining about a bunch of things that don't matter at all. And so I was like, hey, why are you using Infusionsoft? He's like, because I need to do tagging. I'm like, why don't you do tagging inside of ClickFunnels? ClickFunnels can do tagging? Yes, it can. And I'm like, why do you even need tagging? Like, I don't know anything about you or your business, but my guess is that you're not making at least $10 million a year right now. There's no purpose, no need, no reason that you need to be doing tagging. The only thing you need to be doing is selling a product. And I'm curious, I'm like, what are your revenues right now? Are you selling a lot, are you not? And guess what he came back at? No, I haven't launched my business yet or run my funnels. I just got ClickFunnels, I like it, and I'm trying to figure out, and so I'm reading all this research and people are talking about this and talking about that and how this doesn't work and that doesn't work working, like all these kind of things. I'm like, dude, I was like, right now our average, like our members are making on average $600,000 a day through Stripe. We're making, inside of ClickFunnels, like right now we're making, I don't know, anywhere from $40,000 to $50,000 a day ourselves through ClickFunnels, through Stripe. And I'm like, for you guys, like for you who has no business and you're stressing about our integrations with other companies, like dude, first off, don't integrate with that other, like do not worry about our integrations. You don't need our integrations. That's why we have ClickFunnels. You don't have to do integrations. Like I run my entire business through ClickFunnels. Yeah, but right now you don't have advanced tagging like Infusionsoft. I'm like, yeah, why do you need advanced tagging? You don't even have a business yet. You're not even selling a product yet. Like, I don't even use advanced tagging yet. Okay, I'm like, I mean, as soon as I told my mate, you have my permission. As soon as you pass $10 million a year in sales, then you can start focusing and stressing out about advanced tagging. Until then, the only thing you should be worrying about is selling your product. You should have a ClickFunnels page. On the first page, you should have an opt-in. Second page, you should have a sales button that goes through Stripe. Third page, you should deliver the product you just sold. And you should focus on driving traffic. That's it. He came back and he was like, wow, he's like, thank you. He's like, you're right, this whole time I've been stressing about all these things that don't actually matter. He's like, I'm in analysis paralysis or whatever. And he's like, right now I'm not even making a quarter million bucks a year. He's like, I'm not even making 100 grand a year. He's like, I'll be honest, I'm not making any money right now. And I said, well, therein lies the problem. You're worrying about all this stupid crap that doesn't matter. I was like, ClickFunnels does everything you need to do. Don't look outside, don't look for Infusionsoft, you don't need them. Don't look to Ontraport, you don't need them. Don't look for anybody, like, Everything you need is right here, just use ClickFunnels. And he's like, oh man, this is awesome. Okay, so I thought I solved this big problem, right? And so I thought. So then yesterday, so like 2 days later, comes back to me and, this is why you should never respond to people on Facebook, 'cause it never ends. So then he came back to me and he had screenshots from all around the interwebs, different Facebook groups and things, and he had blackened out all the people's names to protect their innocence from me and all these kind of things, all these posts from people who supposedly were upset at ClickFunnels, were canceling ClickFunnels, or didn't like the way that the integration with AWeber, or whatever those things were. Okay, he went and scoured the internet. You could tell he spent days looking for all these different possible things and issues that might possibly happen that he didn't wanna mess up and didn't wanna like not make money, so he was just finding every way possible to not use ClickFunnels. And he came back, Russell, there's all these people and they're friends of yours and they're people, they're insiders, like one of 'em used to be an employee and you fired him and you should let him back because he was so good. And all these things, like show me like pages of screenshots of people. I was like, oh man. And then they start talking about how like, if only we had a Zapier integration, then he could do everything he needed. He just needed Zapier. If we could just have all the tech guys focus on Zapier for him, then all of his problems would go away. I wrote back and I said, hey, you know, I won't say his name. I said, how many products have you sold this week? And then, uh, and then I said, dude, you're, you're stuck in your same problem. This is why you will never be successful. You are searching so hard for a reason to not make money, and you're going to find it if you keep looking. I said, right now we have 11,000 members and it's growing rapidly, right? I said, most of those 11,000 members, guess what they do? They just make money. They use ClickFunnels and they make a crap ton of money. And They're fine. I said, but guess what? There is a fraction of a fraction of a percent who are frustrated, okay? And guess what? That fraction of a fraction, those are the ones who go to Facebook and complain about, ugh, this didn't work. My AWeber integration didn't work. I'm so pissed at ClickFunnels, I'm canceling. And I don't think, and it makes, like, I was looking like, let's say 1% of our customers vocally complained. That's 1,000 people a day to be vocally complaining on Facebook, and it's not that, right? So you take 1% of 1%, right? That'd be 100 vocal people on Facebook a day. It's not that, okay? It's like 5, 5 or 6. So you're taking 1% of 1% of 1% of, and then half of that, and look at how many people are actively mad on ClickFunnels, and they're the ones posting. And those are the people whose opinions you're freaking out about. Like, look at the other 10,997,000, or whatever the number is, right? Who are happily just using ClickFunnels and making a crap ton of money with it. Like, that's who you should be looking at and focusing, not the complainers, not the people who have some issue. Like, I was looking at this, one of the complaints he sent me over, and again, the name was blurred out so I wouldn't, to protect the innocent, right? And in this thing, this lady was all upset because the AWeber integration didn't work the way that she wanted it to work., right? And I understand that, that's frustrating, right? But there's a workaround. So the support person gave her a workaround and she was so mad, like, support didn't get back to me for 24 hours and I'm upset and like, I'm canceling, I'm refunding my money, I'm getting my $100 back. And I started laughing like, you're upset over $100? Like, look at what we gave you, the ability to create amazing sales funnels, the ability to have upsells and downsells and membership sites and affiliate programs and all this stuff for $100. It reminded me of the dude, I heard some stand-up comedy thing This guy is like sitting on a plane and they're flying over the Atlantic Ocean somewhere and the guy next to him is upset because like it's too hot or it's too cold or the food didn't taste that good and like all these things he's complaining about, thing after thing. And the guy looks at him and he's like, "You're flying! You are in an airplane over the Atlantic Ocean flying! It cost you $100, you know, $500 for this ticket! Like 300 years ago, 1,000 years ago, kings would have given everything they own for this experience and you're complaining because the food doesn't taste good." 'Cause your seat's not big enough. You're flying. Oh my gosh, like quick freaking complaining. And so I was laughing. I'm like, a year ago, pre-ClickFunnels, for you to create what you just created, like worst case scenario, it would have cost you $1,000 if you had a designer, a programmer, an analytic, like worst case, $1,000. Here you get all that times a million times more for $100 a month. And all you've got, and like one little hiccup makes you freak out. Like I wanna tell you about my experience prior to ClickFunnels. We were paying, you know, a designer $50,000 a year and a programmer $100,000 a year and like the 8 other people involved just to get one funnel live and guess what? 90% of the time the shopping cart would break and then the autoresponder would break and then the sites would go down like on and on and on and on and on and now those things are almost zero. I don't say zero because there's little issues here and there that happen, but it's almost zero. And guess what you're paying for that? $100 a month. You're flying. Quit complaining. Look at the positive. Look at what we are giving you for $100 a month. It's insane to me. Anyway, what is the moral of the story? The moral of the story is you're freaking flying. Quit complaining about the bumps in the air and the fact you don't like the food and you wish the food did something different and you wish you could eat steak or sushi or you wish you had a shower on your plane or whatever it is. Quit complaining, you're flying. Okay, with ClickFunnels, you are flying. And I understand there's gonna be little hiccups or things that don't work the way that you want them to work or whatever it might be, but you're flying. Don't forget that. All right, that's it for today, guys. I'm gonna go and help some more people fly. And if you're the one who's looking for 1,000 excuses about why you can't be successful, I promise you, you will find them. But if you are like the rest of us who are just doing our business and making money and realize there's gonna be hiccups and bumps and just we work around them. If that's you, then welcome to my world. You are the people I wanna serve. You're the people I care about, and you are the people who are benefiting from ClickFunnels and the training and everything else that we are providing for you guys at an insane rate. It still is insane to me what you are able to accomplish today for $100 a month, okay? If you rewind, look back 12 months ago, 18 months ago, 24 months ago, it was a different story. It was a whole different world, and the world you live in is amazing, and be grateful because you guys are flying now. Alright, I'm outta here. Appreciate you. Have an amazing day. And I'll talk to you guys all again soon.
