Two presentations that I gave, where I thought that no one was listening, that literally changed a few people’s world. On today’s episode Russell talks about being able to make a difference even when he thought something seemed like a waste of time. Here are some awesome things to listen for on this episode: Why Alex Hermosi heard Russell’s message, but didn’t do anything about if for a year. How well Alex has been able to do with his business despite having tiny goals. And why speaking to only 15 people at Affiliate Summit actually turned out to be a good thing. So listen here to find out why it’s important to keep putting your message out there, even if you think no one is listening. ---Transcript--- What’s up everybody? This is Russell Brunson and welcome to the Marketing Secrets podcast. I got something cool to share with you today. Hey everyone, so first off, I want to share something that’s a little different than normal. We’ve been promoting Funnel Hacking Live, we’re getting close to selling out tickets so I thought it’d be fun to do Facebook Lives with all different speakers. So today I did two Facebook Lives, one was with Alex and Layla Harmosi, and then Myron Golden, who are amazing people. Then tonight I did one Kaelin Polin and also with Natalie Hodson. It’s just been really fun to talk to the speakers and get them excited, but what they’re talking about is getting everyone else excited as well. During one of the Facebook Lives today, we had a really cool thing come out of it. Alex Harmosi, some of you guys may know Alex because he spoke, this is his second Funnel Hacking Live he’s spoken at, he and his wife are going to be speaking at this one. But what’s interesting is at the end of it I was asking, “Why do you think people should come to Funnel Hacking Live?” and he was just like, he said, I think it was like 3 or 4 years ago he went to an event, it wasn’t my event, it was Traffic and Conversion actually, Ryan Deiss’ event. He was at the event and I was speaking at the event. He told me this story later, so I’m kind of filling in the back story. He didn’t talk about this but I’m filling in the back story for you guys so it makes sense. At this event, I had an hour to speak and they wouldn’t let me pitch anything, which is painful for me, as someone who loves to sell things, because I feel like selling is actually how we change people’s lives. So I get on stage and do my entire Funnel Hacks presentation and I get to where I transition to my close and I’m like, “Well, that’s all I got. See you guys.” And I had to end. What I didn’t know at the time was Alex was sitting out there in the audience. And Alex at the time had one or two gyms, he was doing alright but not loving it. He told me, “I was sitting in the audience and it was just like, I want to do that. Whatever he just talked about, I want to do that.” But I didn’t sell anything, so he couldn’t buy anything. So it ended. The event happened and he went back home. He said, I can’t remember exactly, 6 months, a year later or something like that, he was sitting there at a time when he was just not super excited with what he was doing and  he was like, “That dude I heard speak at T and C, what was his name again? Russell Brunson.” And he didn’t know, he had never bought any of my products or services, he just Googled Russell Brunson coaching, or something like that. He was like, “Maybe I could hire him to be a coach or something, I don’t know.” So he Googled that and found my Inner Circle page, applied for Inner Circle, signed up for it. It’s funny, I had my very first call with him. And on my first call, he’s telling me he’s got these two or three gyms and Alex, if you talk to him, he’s super charismatic, dude’s done 5,000 one on one face to face sales in his lifetime. He’s just a great salesperson. But I’m doing this call with him. When people join the Inner Circle, I call it a decade in a day, so I try to cram a decade of my life into a day with them. And I
