Welcome the Founder of Clickfunners, Russell Brunson, inside the Greenroom!
Over the past 10 years, Russell has built a following of over a million entrepreneurs, sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books, popularized the concept of sales funnels, and co-founded a software company called ClickFunnels that helps tens of thousands of entrepreneurs quickly get their message out to the marketplace. That’s amazing, but not why we are talking to him today.
Russell is the world’s highest-paid speaker – generating over $3.2 million from one 90-minute talk. He’s not a former president or a celebrity – he’s the founder of a tech company.
Today he shares how he made that happen. This interview is full of actionable tips for you! Enjoy!
PLUS:
How he grew his own events from 0 – 5,000 people in the last 5 years.
What lights him up and gets him out of bed every day & the people that inspire him the most.
Human Connection: Why events are the most powerful superconductor in a digital world.
How he evolved as a speaker, and exactly how to apply this to your own speaking!
Why building a brand culture is important and the secret to creating a culture at your events.
And so much more…
