Secret notes from within this week’s hack-a-thon. In this special episode with Dave Woodward, Russell and Dave talk about how proximity is power. They also share how bouncing ideas off a bunch of people makes finding an answer easier. Here are a few cool things to listen for in today’s episode: How working with people and brainstorming brings results and answers. How working at home is also good because you don’t have as many distractions as you would at work. And how when you have remote employees, you can also have proximity and get even more stuff done. So listen below to hear how proximity with your employees equals power. ---Transcript--- Hey everybody this is Russell Brunson I’m here today with Dave Woodward and welcome to Marketing In Your Car. We are on day 3 of our hack-a-thon. It’s been good. So we wanted to talk about a topic that is very important and we are seeing the fruits of over the last 2 days. As a lot of you guys know we’ve been doing the hack-a-thon here,  which means basically all the head Click Funnels developers and Dave who’s running all the business development/joint venture/affiliate stuff is in town. Plus everyone in the office here. Anyway it’s funny.  We’re in my office and jammed in there, there’s like 10 people. Yesterday I had to go to the bathroom at 2am and couldn’t get out cause there were too many people in the room.  Everyone was together and we’re getting stuff done and moving it forward.  So the message I want to share with you guys is that proximity is power.  Initially I learned that from Tony Robbins.  Where did he talk about that?  UPW? What’s the context? I’m going to make Dave teach a little bit. But what’s the context of Proximity is power? If you can remember off the top of your head. Dave: The whole key to proximity is power is you are able to get much more done, it’s almost like the mastermind concept where you have so many minds working on the same thing and you have the ability to communicate much quicker. Be able to bounce ideas off and because of that you are able to.  It like one plus one equals three or four because you are so close and you’re able to actually see, you get all this…he’s also talking about all the senses and modalities…but being able to have all that together at one time you are able to focus and get things done super quick. You can bounce ideas off of each other without any delay. You can see the emotion behind everybody. It’s the whole idea. Russell: It’s funny because when we do these we get more done in 3 or 4 days than the rest of the quarter. Dave: Yeah, it’s crazy. You could do these at least once a week but that doesn’t make any sense. Do once a month? Russell: Once a week…. People have always said, “Man, Clickfunnels has evolved so quickly in the last 12 months”.  It has. That’s with everyone remote. If everyone is in the same room, we would have rebuilt the internet at this point.  Even last night it was 1:00 and I was working on this issue in my head. It’s been stuck, I’ve been frustrated.  It’s been hard to move forward because of one block I couldn’t figure out. I started complaining about it. Everyone was there, we started bouncing Ideas.  All of the sudden, the answer was there.  This is the answer.  That answer was like dominos.  Suddenly within 15 minutes of talking with everyone. The answer came together in perfect clarity.  Now we know exactly what to do.  So today we are executing that and getting it done. Dave: It’s that domino effect that is real critical.  Kind of talks about one huge domino, as soon as it goes everything else falls into place. Russell: So awesome. It’s interesting, we’ve built our company and one of the people we’ve modeled a lot with Click Funnels is Base Camp, 37 Signals. If you read the book they wrote Rework, which is one of my top 10 business books.  Also wrote Remote. So they’re all remote, and that’s how Click Funnels has been built.  I wanted everyone in the same office, but… our 2 co-founder ones in Atlan
