Make Friends, Not Funnels

ByJowi

Dear Reader,

After the term funnel was introduced by Russell Brunson,
it became the way to build a business.
We are all building a funnel.

Many have tried to reinvent the wheel.
They call it Flywheel or Cycle.
In the end, the components are all the same.
The steps are the same.

One thing that gives me hiccups from all of it is:
​the transactional wording.​
We track the conversions, the click rates, and the card collectors.

While those are all important numbers,
​we lose the human touch.

I also help my clients set up a funnel.
Yet we focus on the relationship.​
We don’t take visitors to clients.

We talk about turning strangers into brothers.

There is an interesting difference by changing the words.
We stop being a calculator looking at the numbers first —
and we become compassionate.

The sales call is no longer a closing-focused conversation,
but more the invitation to make a decision to get more help.

We don’t need to hide prices.
We don’t use scammy tactics.
We are fully focused on helping the person
​figure out the best we can.

This shift has been helping us to break through mental barriers.

The price is just there — because helping you takes my focus and attention,​
and I can only be there for you when
I don’t need to worry about putting food on the table.

Keep chopping Wood!

  • Success comes through Sacrifice

    Hey Reader, Everything in life comes with a price tag. Not always do they have a $ (Dollar Sign) with them. Some are also connected to the cost of time. Some are decisions, either for or against. You can do many things, but you won’t be able to succeed in all. You do have many opportunities, but not the time to try them all. There is a correlation that I started to notice. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. Every big victory comes with a price. There is no success without…

  • A side hustle won’t save you!

    Hey Reader, When I look around, most men want to start a side hustle to get the business off the ground. I love the idea and motivation they have—to provide for their family and spend more time with them. There is only one flaw on that side:They plan for a side hustle, not for an exit strategy. The numbers tell the difference. Most people starting a side hustle are happy about any money they can make.They start to offer low-price digital products:A template for $20 or an ebook for $8.

Yet it’s not coming easy to stand out. The one sure thing we know is: If you do what everybody does — it’s a sure way to blend in with the crowd. There is a trend that I’m seeing. It’s not a new trend.Everybody is only talking about themselves. The major question always is: What’s in it for me? That’s the main attitude most…

  • Build the bridge, not just the offer

    You don’t sell a product, you’re not creating an offer or doing a service — you’re helping someone transform their lives. They have a problem or pain, and they wish to make a change. Anything we do is there to help them build a bridge. It is the Bridge of Transformation. So whenever we think of something to do or build, we should first understand the Transformation: Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Then we get a deeper understanding of the different options we can build. In…

    The One-Dad Business The only way I have found to make enough income to be the sole provider is with business. Yes, there are certain careers that would earn money, but they don’t give you agency. The next part is that they need to give you the opportunity to be present for your family. This is why the One-Dad Business is the best option for Dads to start a business. Many dabble with the idea to build a hobby business. Something they do for their hobby. There is a downside to it, though….

    “Well, I’m not ready.”How often do I hear this from others?How often do I think it myself? Too often. The truth is: You will never feel ready. The more you learn,the more you figure out what else there is to learn. Even when I feel like I have something figured out —the world changes and I have to start over again. Every time I used to start over,I’d get faster because I got better. I also know: Everybody else needs to start over too. There’s this constant battle inside: “Just start” sounds…
