Hey guys, how you doing today? Thanks for coming back to the broadcast. This is Digital's in,

sorry, I'm running a few minutes late. You know, if you're in Naples, Florida had a couple of

difficulties with my son's online schooling and had to help him get in straightened out or had to

help him get in, get straightened out a little bit. Want to talk about a couple of different things

today about some digital content and creating content and you know, want to reach back a little

bit and you know, since we're a new, a new podcast, a new a new broadcast, think I want to share

a little bit about my past, you know, I got involved in what I'm doing. Primarily because a few

years ago, I was a new father had wanted to change careers, you know, was kind of in the office

every day driving an hour back and forth to work to a job. I really hated you know, want to try to

find a way to redesign my life. To spend more time with my family, I wanted to be able to pretty

much work from anywhere. And as life goes on, that's what I do want to do, you know, I want to

be able to work where I want when I want and I think a lot of us do. problem with that is finding

something that makes consistent money and allowed me to spend a lot of time with my family,

which is a Family Guy very involved with my kids lives back at the time. Had a brand new baby

boy and his stepdaughter who was in, in high school and uh, you know, those times you really

need to spend time. But it was a difficult time And to make matters worse, I was really I was barely

making any money. I was barely making the money I needed to survive and was sort of eating up

what we had in savings as well you know? And this wasn't doing well for my wife, you know, my

wife likes the stability as the Y, you know, and who can blame her with a new baby and, you know,

and, and an uncertain future makes things pretty difficult, you know, problem was I was an old

school guy, trying to make my way and learn my way, in a, in a digital world, in a world that

looked different than it did as I was growing up, you know, what I was starting to see that it really

was requiring is finding some new and fresh stuff, finding something in addition to what my

background had or had, had held for most of my life, and, and starting fresh, you know, it's

sometimes pretty hard thing to do when you're, you know, when you're in your 40s, you know,

teach old dog new tricks, you know, that kind of thing, but it doesn't matter if you're in your 40s or

September 14, 2020 Page 1 of 3 Transcribed by https://otter.ai

whatever age you're in, you know, I mean, it's still the same when you're trying to To learn new

things, and to exacerbate this problem a little bit, you know, it was right around Christmas time.

And I mean, I couldn't afford to buy gifts for my kids. You know, that's that's a heartbreaking thing

you know. And it was just right around this time that something really pretty amazing happened.

One night I was up late, and I typically don't stay up late anymore, you know, with since my son

was born, but I happen to be up late alone in the house, I couldn't sleep and I was in my, in my

studio. And I saw a video on YouTube was good this guy named Russell and what he was talking

about was he was talking about the death of websites and the, the new direction of funnels. You

know, I was pretty familiar with sales funnels, you know, having been in different sales industries,

but not online sales funnels, and the way that this guy was talking about. And it was, it was pretty,

it was pretty interesting. In fact, you know, woke me up really did give me a sense of clarity as to

the direction that I was going to go with my life I really instantly could see how if I really took

advantage and started to move in this direction, how it could change my life how I would be able

to get those things I was looking for, you know, be more time with the family, working from where I

wanted to no longer being a slave to, you know, to somebody else's idea of what my business

should be. I also learned that you didn't have to be famous to make money online. And and

probably the most important thing is it lit a fire under my ass, you know, sorry to use that word

but made me realize I had to start now and Stop, stop wasting time, really stop wasting time

looking. And so what I started to do is I started to read just about everything that I could get my

hands on and a couple of really good books and, and watched a bunch of videos and, and really

started to try to learn everything that I could about how these funnels work, you know. And after

that I just started basically following the steps, you know, and before long I was I was I was seeing

changes in my bank account. I was seeing differences and other aspects of life as well. So I

realized the real secret was just stop being afraid. And stop letting my own mind stop me, you

know. And I think I think like a lot of people when you start to when you hit upon something that

really works you want to share with others, you know, and that was my plan. My plan was to start

sharing this new stuff that I had discovered with other people, you know, so I started a podcast As

I started a blog, I started developing webinars as well. I even started to create an online course.

But who knows, still, there was a really big problem. As my business started to grow, I'm struggling

to keep up. I was, I was the customer service guy, I was the billing guy, I was creating all of the

content. I was wearing every hat that the company had. And what I was finding was instead of

having more time, I had less time I was doing more things I was spending actually less time with

my family. Oh, then then when everything started, you know. I was frustrated, you know, and I

knew that I had to find a way to get better results quicker, I guess. You know, it was then that I

came upon. Russell Brunson one funnel away challenge. You know, here here was Russell Brunson.

He was one of the greatest innovators in the sales funnel world. In fact, it was the same Russell

who's very Yo, I saw all that time ago that got me to switch over into two funnels. But to make a

long story short, he had just created an amazing program that did exactly what I was trying to do,

you know, and after a little soul searching, I said to him, I said, you know, why reinvent the wheel,

you know, it would be more effective for the people I was trying to help to just introduce them to

September 14, 2020 Page 2 of 3 Transcribed by https://otter.ai

this program, so that they could shave months, maybe even years off of trial and error and, and

get right to the goods of the program, you know, so that's exactly what I started to do. And as a

result, I've been able to help hundreds change their life change their bank accounts. For me, I've

been able to erase pretty much all of our debt. And after completing the one funnel away

challenge, I've been able to not only have more time with my family, but I can work from

wherever I want, you know, and it's a lot more fun, you know, having a ton more fun. Then what

this really means is that not only can I live with confidence and comfort, but I can still help others

the way that I wanted to and, and that's pretty awesome. Yeah. So I guess I guess one of the

things that I'm talking about today is, especially in the digital world, there's so many different

opportunities out there and there's so many different ways to make money and so many things

that you can focus on. But I suggest you find one, you settle on it, and go in that direction. I'm

typically not going to sell too many things on this podcast or offer too many things, but I'm

probably going to put I'm gonna put two links extra I'll put one link in the in the thing below

today, and that'll take you over if you want to take a look at Russell's challenge. The 30 Day

Challenge is fantastic. You'll get mentoring, you'll get coaching, you'll get some live teachers as

well, some great coursework and it's going to teach you a way to To change your future, I'll get

more into this as our as the podcast goes on in different days and you know, sure, we're going to

talk about a lot of other stuff as well. But I'll probably find that I'll come back to this with some

frequency, because it's one of those tried and true methods that can help you change your life.

Anyway, have a great day. I'll see you tomorrow. Sorry when blackbelt had blabbering on about

that stuff, but I thought it was important to share a little bit with you. See you soon
