Now I know why others make 7, 8, 9 figures. They take their presentation into a whole different level, level of mastery! I never realized how many components that go into each things! The close itself comes with so many strategies!!! 😅 Russell, McCall, & team, thank you very much for breaking this down into little components and show us the science and art behind each. Mind blowing!😵😵😵

WAS, IS, ALWAYS, FOREVER, the MEGA CORE valuable I personally, & professionally deeply grasped from RUSSELL BRUNSON - "some dude obsessed with funnels" .... P.S. DEEPLY grateful, forever...Thank you, "SOME DUDE"! QUESTION/Type your answer, now! : What was your one or more of YOUR MEGA CORE valuable learnings from Russell, "some dude"? "Act as a CONDUIT" means serving as a channel, intermediary, or medium for passing information, resources, money, or power between two parties. It describes someone or something facilitating flow between a source and a receiver, - could be often in a neutral or logistical role. from Latin conducere ‘bring together'

Quick tip for anyone running paid traffic.. There's a free tool called Lighthouse built right into Chrome that shows you how fast your funnel is loading -- and the numbers matter more than most people realise. Portent ran a study across 100 million page views and found that ecommerce pages loading in 1 second convert at 3.05%. At 4 seconds that drops to 0.67%. For lead gen pages it's even steeper -- nearly 40% at 1 second dropping to roughly half that by 6 seconds. How to run it right now.. Open your funnel in Chrome. Right-click, select Inspect. Find Lighthouse (click >> if you can't see it). Select Mobile, tick Performance, click Analyze Page Load. Here's what a real funnel scan looked like recently.. First Contentful Paint: 4.7s 🔴 (should be under 1.8s) Largest Contentful Paint: 7.3s 🔴 (should be under 2.5s) Total Blocking Time: 270ms 🟡 (should be under 200ms) Cumulative Layout Shift: 0 🟢 (perfect) Speed Index: 6.9s 🔴 (should be under 3.4s) Three red signals on a live funnel. Based on the Portent data, an LCP of 7.3 seconds puts conversion rate below 0.67%. That's someone actively running ads to a funnel converting at a fraction of what it should be. The most common causes Lighthouse flags are unoptimized images, render-blocking JavaScript, and third-party scripts loading before the page content. Most of these are fixable. One important thing to know though.. That score is a snapshot. Page speed changes constantly. A new image upload, a JavaScript library update, a third-party script change -- any of these can quietly degrade your speed between checks without any warning. So run the test. Fix what it surfaces. And make a habit of checking regularly. Hope this helps someone today. 🚀 - James

Alex Hormozi said something that has stuck with me. "The most expensive tax we pay is ignorance tax. Ignorance tax is the price we pay for not knowing what we should know by now." He was talking about business knowledge -- the gap between what you know and what you could know, and the cost that gap silently extracts from your results every day you don't close it. But when I heard it, I thought about something more specific. Because there's a version of the ignorance tax that isn't about strategy or skills or mindset. It's purely technical. And it runs on every funnel, every day, whether you're aware of it or not. While the conversion rate optimization world sweats and obsesses over three-tenths of a percentage point -- and that is a real thing, people spend real money chasing fractions -- most funnels are quietly bleeding revenue through a completely different mechanism. Not optimization. Ignorance. Here's what it actually looks like in the numbers.. The speed tax. Every extra second your page takes to load costs you 7% in conversions. That's from Portent's analysis of 27,000 landing pages. A page loading in 1 second converts at 3.05%. The same page loading in 5 seconds converts at 1.08%. That's not a rounding error. That's two thirds of your conversion rate, gone. Not because your offer is weak. Because the page is slow. The broken link tax. 62% of ecommerce and funnel sites have at least one broken link. Of those, 69% of their pages contain them. 88% of users say they're less likely to return after hitting one. You paid to get them there. A dead link sent them away and they didn't come back. The downtime tax. This one is episodic -- it doesn't drain you monthly, it hits you on the worst possible day. During a launch. During a webinar. During your best performing ad campaign. One 4-hour outage during peak conditions can wipe 20-30% of a launch's revenue. Not gradually. In an afternoon. The indexability tax. The quietest one. Pages accidentally marked noindex generate zero organic traffic forever. If you've published 30 blog posts and half are noindexed because of a setting you never checked -- that's not a traffic problem. That's years of potential compounding organic reach producing nothing.

You did a lot today. But nothing moved. And somehow that feeling stays…even when you're exhausted. 118 tabs open.3 browsers.9 pages of apps. Saved posts.Half-finished ideas.Things you “need to get back to.” You sit down to work… …and switch between everything. Nothing is urgent.But nothing is clear either. open → close → switch → scroll → repeat End of the day: You did a lot. But nothing actually moved.
