Hey there everybody. Welcome to Hack That Funnel Radio. Today we’re talking about the backstories that we’ve all gone through. What is brought all of us here? What is the common thread that brings all of us funnel hackers together? A lot of us consider ourselves Funnel Hackers. Some of us don’t. That’s okay. We’re just funnel builders. We’re digital marketers, we’re agencies. It just kind of all depends on where you see yourself and that’s totally fine. But there’s treads that I’ve seen all the way through. So I’ve been at this game for a while now and it’s been really interesting. One of my favorite questions to ask anybody, whether I’m going to Funnel Hacking Live or Traffic and Funnels or Offer Mind or whatever event I’m going to is- so how did you get started? Why are you here? And the backstories are so similar. It’s like, we were all like trying to accomplish this one particular goal, and they all went in the same direction. So what I want to do is just kind of describe the generic path. And as I do that, look at why you’re here, look at why you do Funnel Hacking and see if you match this at all. See if you are generic or if you are a true-blue funnel hacker, this is going to be fine I tried MLMs and it didn’t work. I was selling stuff on Amazon. I was selling stuff door to door and it really stunk. I wanted to faster way. I wanted to be able to have a business without ever talking to people because I’m not very personable. I’m very introverted. I’m not an extrovert like all those other people. At the end of the day, I really just wanted to be able to take care of my family. I was in a place where I couldn’t take care of my family, and I wanted to be able to provide more. I wanted to be able to be at home with my family most of all. At that point, I was working away from my family constantly. I was on my drive and I wanted to know what could I do that would actually keep me home that was legitimate and that would be able to provide for my family. I have a dream. I had this passion, I just woke up inside of me like a fire in my belly and I could not move without thinking about this and I needed to be able to share it somehow. And I didn’t know how to share it. I didn’t know if sharing it would even make an impact. At this point, but I knew that I had a calling. There was something I had to do and I was driven to do it. These are some of the general reasons why we all get started in this path. It’s like a hero’s journey. We’re all called to something, but before we’re called, we’re all in a place of some kind of a pain or in some place of discomfort where we’re not in a comfortable situation and we hope for something better. We’re looking for something that will work. And you want something that’s big. You want to be able to stay at home with your family. You want to be able to share your dream, would you believe you’re called to? Do you want to do all these things like you received these callings and these ideas. You have this big external desire, but really internally, your whole goal is to provide for yourself and you might want to make your family safe. You want to make an impact. You want to be able to sleep at night comfortably without going through panic attacks because the road that you’ve already taken up to this point, it doesn’t make any sense. And you can’t imagine being in your current situation for another 30 years in your life. There are these internal and external desires to start playing and suddenly like there’s extreme discomfort and we suddenly get this call to action where we can do it and we’re ready to do it, but there’s this reason we can’t, and this is, this is like, this is what I hear a lot of the times is, you know, I wanted to do it, but my wife wasn’t really supportive of the idea. I wanted to build my business, but I felt like I was in the wrong product at the wrong time. I just couldn’t get it moving. I didn’t really know how to make this work. I mean, how do you actually do this? Really? Yo
