This is Russell Brunson, welcome to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I’m so excited to have you here, in fact, today I’m going to be going over all the biggest lessons I learned during 2018, as I’m getting prepared for world domination in 2019. Hey everyone, I’ve been wanting to do this podcast for a while. In fact, I think my brother, who edits these podcasts, is about to kill me because I keep telling him I’m going to record this, I’m going to record it, I’m going to record it, and I haven’t and I haven’t. I was going to record it during Christmas break and then during New Year’s and now New Year’s is over and tomorrow I’m going on the Two Comma Club X cruise and I still haven’t recorded it. I was like, okay, I’m doing this. And I think the reason why is because I don’t, there’s so many amazing things. This year was insane. It’s still hard for me to fathom everything that happened over the last 12 months. Last year we ended the year really, really good. We went from, let me think about it, Clickfunnels year one we did….well, first year was like 3 months so whatever, a million bucks or whatever it was. But the first full year was 10 million, the second one was 30 million. The third year was 70 something million and this year we passed over a hundred million, which is crazy. It’s insane I didn’t think that was even possible. But it did and there’s so many things you learn at scale when things get bigger. The positive things at scale are way better, and the negative things are way worse. There’s just so much stuff and so many things I want to cover and talk about and I was like, how do I break this into a bunch of things? So I kind of broke them down into 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 different things. They weren’t the full, you know, everything I learned from the year, but I think some really powerful things that were good that I want to share that I think will help you guys. So that is kind of the goal and the game plan. Some of these things are personal, some are business, some are management, some are long term strategic thinking, and there’s a bunch of different things in between. So with that said I’m going to jump right into this. So number one, the first thing that I think was really, really big this year was shifting a lot of how, what’s the best way to say it, it has to do with health but it’s not being healthy. It wasn’t like I was eating different to get a six pack, some day I still want one, but that wasn’t the reason why, it wasn’t eating healthy to look good. It was like eating healthy because I needed to put better fuel in my body. I realized that I’m competing against entrepreneurs at all different levels. I’m competing against companies that get hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and I’m competing against people who have a team of 2000 employees working with them. I’m competing against people that have 30 different people with MBA’s working for…That’s what I’m competing against. So it’s like how do I compete against these people? I can’t do it based on more schooling or more money, I have to do it based on more energy. The output that I’m able to put into the work that I’m doing, and my team and everything, I had a big realization that I needed to change the fuel that I’m putting into my body. It’s interesting now, I’m going to share this with you guys, and some of you guys are going to think that I’m completely ridiculous, and I probably am because I want to put perspective because I
