Funnel Hacking Live Recap - Day 4 of 4

What's up, everybody? This is Russell Brunson. Welcome to day number four of Funnel Hacking Live. This is the last recap episode to kind of share with you guys. The last day of Funnel Hacking Live. So far I covered in the last three episodes, covered episode one, which was we talked about impact and income. Number two was one Funnel away. Number three was two comma Club. And today I'm going to talk about changing the world. So the big question is this. How are entrepreneurs like us who didn't cheat and take on venture capital? We're 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. Alright, everybody, so excited to have you guys here for this episode. So I'm going to walk you through the last day. And the last day. It was a special day. It was really, really cool. The day started with Brian Bowman and if you guys don't know Brian yet, he's an amazing human being. One of my favorite people on planet Earth. He came up and told his story. His title presentation was Taking Action with a Sense of Urgency and talked about his wife who's struggling with Lyme disease, and showed videos of her and then talked about what he's done to try to like overcome that and how, like, if you want anything good in life, you have to act with a sense of urgency. You can't just like, oh, you know, we're gonna get to that eventually. And it was an emotional presentation. It was amazing and just grateful for Brian for sharing a very personal struggle and to help inspire other people to act with a sense of urgency. And it was just so good. So thank you, Brian, for that. After Brian spoke, then I got back on stage and there's a bunch of people asking questions about funnel, about the 2 comma Club X offer. So I answered some of the frequently asked questions there. And then when that was done, then I did a presentation called Breaking the Chains of False Belief. And I actually brought back Myron golden on stage to do that because Myron is a master storyteller and closer. And I basically told people initially I said, okay, for how many guys are you signed up for? 2 common Club X. And we had, I think at the time, like 400 and something people had signed up and raised his hand and said, okay, for all you guys who already signed up, what I'M gonna show is Myron's gonna come up here and show you guys some of the best closing techniques I've ever seen, ever. It's gonna be really, really fun. How many of us have not signed up yet? And then like, everybody else sheepishly like. And I'm like, okay, for those of you guys who haven't signed up yet, I'm gonna have Myron help me get you off the ledge. And these closing techniques are intended to help close you, to get you to sign up for the program. Because I know it's what you need to take your business and your life to the next level. So Myron came up and basically, he's the man. He got up and I asked him questions. I knew four stories that he had that are amazing stories. And I kind of set him up. I said, okay, Myron, tell us the first story about the free pool. Cheapo people. Anyway, that one. So he goes on and tells this thing. It's a 10 minute story. That's just amazing. It gets people to realize, wow, I need to, you know, the shift I need to make. And I said, can you tell me the eagle story? He told that one. He told that one. And he told all four of these stories. They were amazing. He's so amazing. I could listen to him all day long and just never get tired in the end of it. I came back up and said, okay, thanks so much, so much for doing that. We all gave him a round of applause and admired stage. And I kind of did one more last push, like, look, guys, this is the deal. This is not about me, this is about you. And we need and kind of my last clothes to get people to sign up during the break. So we have a 30 minute break. When we come back, Garrett White's gonna be on stage. And when he gets on stage, it's closed down. He can't sign up anymore. So now's the time to go back. And then the funniest thing is I played a voxer clip from Brandon and Katelyn. They'd messaged me the night before. So I had a handheld mic, some listening, handheld mic, playing my thing over the speaker and so everyone could hear the voxer. It was just really cool having Brandon and Kaelyn kind of tell their story about what happened three years ago since they first came and where they're at today. It was awesome. And then as soon as I get done, I'm talking and talking. All of a sudden, somebody coming from the back of the stage and I was like, oh, it's the One of the stagehands who needs the mic because I had a mic. Plus I had a mic on my lapel or my ear, right? So I turned around and I hand this person the mic. And as I handed it to him, I realized that is not one of the stage people. He's got one of our shirts on and everything. Oh, and he grabs the mic, starts talking and I'm like, I just handed someone who came on stage a hot mic. Like, what in the world? The guy started talking and talking and I'm like, in my head, I'm like, what in the world? Like, they let him on stage. There must be a reason why we let him on stage. But he's telling the story. I had no idea what he's talking about. It was like, it was weird. And then all of a sudden I see Dave coming running up from the back. I'm like, oh, no, this guy's not supposed to be on stage. I handed him a hot mic in the middle of my clothes. So Dave came up and like took the mic from him and like took him off stage and totally threw me off guard. And I was just like, anyway, ruin my momentum. But I was like, alright, well, that was not planned. Alright, guys, we're taking a break. Go sign up. And I walked off and I was just like, what in the world did happen? So first off, never do that in an event. There's no way to faster offend people and make the event promoter upset than you coming on stage and taking a hot mic from them. Second off, now we've to have security guards at Funnel hacking live to keep people anyway. It's just not cool. So that was not cool if you were the one that did that. Don't ever do that again. That's not cool. Second off, it totally caught me off guard, but luckily didn't close the momentum. And then we broke and went backstage. And during that period of time, I think 250 or 300 people signed up for the coaching program. So Myron's magic pushed over another almost $3 million in sales in 30 minutes. So it was cool and gave us the ability to serve all so many amazing people. And I'm excited for that. So that was kind of how that ended. Then we came back from the break and Garrett White came on stage. And it's funny, like, I never know what's gonna happen with Garrett. I'm always nervous and I warn people, like, he's gonna swear a lot, so if you're offended, please leave. And anyway, I get backstage and I walk Back there. And he's getting dressed up, and he's got this, like, Phantom of the Opera mask on and a hoodie and another hoodie. And I'm like, hey, man, what are you doing? He's like. He's like, do you trust me? I'm like, I think so. He's like, I promise it'll be good. I'm like, okay, whatever. So he did his presentation, which was, like, intense. My wife sitting next to me, holding my arm, like, scared to death during this initial thing, the initial pattern interrupt. But it was powerful. And then he went through and gave his whole presentation showing, like, how to show up in the morning, how to get yourself in state in the morning, and had a whole point system, scoring system, and stuff he shares with his warriors. Part of Warrior Week. It was really, really cool. So that presentation was awesome. Then he got done. Everyone went to lunch, and we had a special lunch with all two Comic Book X people. We had them kind of finish the signup process. And it was crazy. That room was so full. We were not planning on that many people that fast. But it's an amazing initial army of people for us to work with. And my goal for next year is I think we can honestly have 500 people get on stage to get two comma club awards. And so this program, the goal of that is to get everyone to do comma club. And I'm so excited for it. When we came back from lunch, then Tony Robbins was there. Tony Robbins came on stage, did his thing for about four hours, maybe four and a half. And Tony's Tony. It was amazing, as always. People were jumping around, going crazy. And then when that was done, Todd and I got back on stage. We kind of wrapped up the event and then went backstage, and the rest has been a blur. I don't even remember. Oh, yeah, we got pictures with Tony real quick, went out to eat with the team, and. And then I passed out and slept. Next morning, we slept most of the day and wake up till like 11 the next day. I was so tired. And then my kids flew in that night. And then Monday, Tuesday, we're Disney. Disney. Wednesday, we had a day off. Thursday, Friday, Universal. Universal. Then Saturday, jumping a plane, flying home. And then, yeah, now I'm here. So it's been a crazy. I still haven't recovered yet. I'm still super tired, as you can probably tell. But it was an amazing thing. And for me, like, I don't know. Like, I don't know about you guys. I love marketing. I love sales. I love, like, this whole entrepreneurship, I love what we do, and I really feel like this event, for me, it was like an opportunity for me to bring, like, my herd of people together and just serve them at the highest level that I know possible. And we did that. It was like, I don't think anyone who's there would have felt that, like, we served as high as we possibly could. It was amazing. But it also was cool because all the things, all the techniques and tactics and strategies and things that we learned about, studied for years, for over a decade. For me, it's like we had a chance to use all those things in a practical application, right? Like, we used it to raise over a million dollars for world, not world teachers, excuse me, for Operation Underground Railroad to save hundreds of kids from sex trafficking. We used it in a way to launch a funnel with our. To be able to help thousands of kids more. On top of that, we used it in a way to get people into coaching. We used it in a way to break false belief patterns. We used it in a way to reward people in our community. We use it in a way to build our culture. We use it in a way like all these things we talk about, we teach about things in my books, things that I think are the coolest things. Like, it was, like, the practical application of all of it. I think even if you came and you didn't listen to a word the speaker said, but just watched the process, it was orchestrated perfectly. We could write a book just about the process. In fact, maybe we will someday. Who knows? But it was really, really cool. And there were so many things that were happening, and I hope that everyone who was there experienced it and enjoyed it and left a different person. You know, this is not an event that we do just to make money. It's not even. We do just to, you know, I don't know, to show how cool we are. It's an event. We do literally change people's lives. I think the 3,000 people that were in the room that were paying attention, it happened at different levels. And anyway, it was. It was special, and I appreciate everyone who came to it, who was part of it. Next year's event, I don't have all the finalized dates and times, but we're. We're planning an even more fun show with the group out the same size. So it's not going to be bigger. So if you want to come next year, when we open tickets, you should get them because clickfunnels will double in size from last year to this year. But the event size will be about the same. So it's gonna be a fight. It's gonna be a lot harder to get into the event, which is okay, that's how it should be. We're gonna be there serving those who make the effort. We were doing the math. It's like I think 5% of our clickfunnels members were there in the room. So 95% missed it. They missed the most life changing experience they could have had. And for you who are listening to this, I don't want you to miss it next year. It was created to do that and it did that and it will do it again next year if you take that leap of faith, make that little, that step forward. So anyway, I hope you guys learned from this. I hope you enjoyed it. Cannot wait to see you guys next year's fun locking live. And with that said, I'm gonna go get something to eat. I'm a little hungry, a little tired and get back to work because we got one year to double our membership base, add more features, make the software stronger, give you guys more information, training and systems education to help you get better. And this time next year we can help change your world. Once again, thank you so much for everything. Appreciate you and we'll talk to you soon. Want more marketing secrets?
