Hey friends!!! I was going to create a mini course on hosting virtual events, but I realized it would take more time to record and edit. So instead, I’m doing it LIVE! Tomorrow at 12pm CST, I’ll go live on my private community, share everything I know, and answer questions on the spot. What do you think, a recorded course or a live event, turn into a course?

Hey everyone!! I know this group is full of people who either have done the “Selling Online” event, or you’re about to!! I’m excited for all of you who are about to experience it for the first time!! For those who have gone through one of our earlier classes, and still aren’t having the success you want with your ‘one to many’ presentation yet, I encourage you to plug in again this week and try again! This is how you gain mastery. http://sellingonline.com/russell I’ve been to Tony Robbins UPW about a half dozen times. I went to wrestling camp every summer, and I still listen to Dan Kennedy almost every day. Mastery comes through repetition. So, if your webinar did less than $100k last month - please come join me again this week, and let’s get you to mastery!! Get your ticket here: http://sellingonline.com/russell Russell Brunson

Sometimes You Just Need a Tesm If you are in US, you probably can pull this episode up in On Demand. After monologue, there was a conclusion on a running sux month story. BACKGROUND: One of the staff writers said if Stephen would give him six months to train, he could successfully shoot and land a basketball in a net, like a pro player, from x distance. This guy was not a basketball player … Ever so often, Stephen would show a progress video. He even set him up with. a pro coach and gym membership. Tonight ended six months. The writer, who is also not a trained singer, and slides flat or off key, burst into song, “To dream the impossible dream….” At the end of the long song, two young athletes appear next to a rolled out basketball net. The athletes lift up the writer with the basket behind him. He places the ball in the net - making his goal, making a basket inside six months. WHY I RELATE TO THIS STORY 2012-2025 I have been so determined to build my own funnel. I took so many trainings. My weakness has consistently been tech on software, not able to fix glitches. And life events + low budget not able to hire someone to build one. And I really really want to build it myself to conquer tech! But here is this show writer reminding me —- sometime you need to surrender and just admit you aren’t going to get great at doing something you really love. Sometimes you just need help, a team, to lift you to make your dream come true.

Discussion question… Seems courses never go “there” and have an honest, open conversation about relationships and what affect it is having on your relationship for you to start a career selling online. If you are married, how supportive (emotionally/ mentally—- not so much monetary) is/was your spouse for you starting a career shift to “selling online?” if your spouse IS supportive, what benefits did / does your spouse feel is it for him/her to be supportive? If your spouse is not so happy about your choice, what are his/ her concerns? If you resolved the worries, how did you manage the concerns? My interest is I ran into this in both my prior marriages and both times I chose career. There were other factors ending in my very brief first marriage. My second, my spouse could not handle my making way more money. It was too hard on his male ego. He did things that directly sabotaged not only my contract, but also my client’s assets. My client compassionately gave me an option, and I ended my marriage. This time I wan to have a better plan in place… Sometimes I think it is easier on a marriage when the wife ( or non-leading spouse) is following a husband’s (or more leading spouse) career dreams, not the other way around. Does “selling online” as a business only work best when both spouses work this business????

I am reading quotes this morning, looking for a specific one from Mickey Hargitay, father of Mariska Hargitay (“Law and Order- SVU”), that she mentioned in her documentary about her mother, Jayne Mansfield (sexy bombshell actress of the 1950’s -1967, who was killed at 32 in a car accident.) Mickey had a great quote I should have written down when watching the movie, “My Mom Jayne” ( free on HBO On Demand). I didn’t find what I sought, but I found one from Mariska’s script on Law snd Order SVU— one that really applies to all of us, I believe, but especially in our industry of online selling. “trust my instincts. If I don't have that, I shouldn't be here." Head- Heart - vs Instinct When you need to make a decision, do you decide from your head, heart or gut instinct / inner feeling? Which decides first, usually? What percentaged overall would you assign to each? Most Sales training teaches people decide from their feelings, or heart, much less than their head. Is it true? Is it true for you? Your Buyers Profile your Buyers. Do they usually buy from their head, heart, or instinct? Do they buy like you buy? Mine and My Buyers I think / feel / instinctively sense my Buyers buy like I do. My vulnerability may be that I am extremely analytical. I buy usually from my head / intellect/ spreadsheets of pro’s and con’s or best features, “I don’t need it” features, and negatives. Then I check my instincts. Last for me is heart. With one exception: in a crisis, emergency or urgent matter, my training is my foundation- freeing up my heart and instinct take over. ( the type that runs “toward fires”, vs, “fleeing or freezing up.” My Buyers are first responders, crisis workers or professionals that usually are responsible for making fast, but informed, decisions. However, faced with a crisis, emergency, or urgent matter, such as ‘eldercare’ or ‘how to rebuild after a disaster evacuation and losing most everything of material value,’ then making decisions fast in areas outside their wheelhouse of expertise, then they buy or do from heart or emotion, then instinct. And many, ironically, just freeze up.
