The Story Behind Alison's Ecommerce Empire... Stephen Larsen: Hey everybody, this is Steve Larsen, and welcome to a very special episode of Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio, where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business, using today's best internet sales funnel. Now, here's your host, Steve Larson. Stephen Larsen: All right you guys. Hey, this is exciting. You know, for me I'm just selfishly wanting to talk to, in my opinion, one of the coolest people that is out there. One of the most inspiring stories. Doing exactly what they love. I'm just excited that I hit the record button and you guys get to listen in. There's a lot that I feel like I could learn from this person. I haven't done an interview in a very long time, and I'm excited to bring on just a complete rock star. Everybody, this is Alison Prince. Alison, how you doing? Alison Prince: Good. I'm so excited to be here. Thanks for having me. Stephen Larsen: Yeah. You've been running the, let's see, Pick a Plum and Because I Can Clan for a while now, right? Alison Prince: I have. I actually own seven businesses, Stephen. Stephen Larsen: Oh really? Don't tell Russell. Alison Prince: I know. I'm a little bit of a serial entrepreneur. Stephen Larsen: We get that. That's cool. What's your most favorite one right now that you're doing? Alison Prince: Do you know, it's actually the Because I Can Clan. Stephen Larsen: Oh really? That's your most recent one, isn't it? Alison Prince: It is. I launched that right after I joined the Inner Circle. Launched it in about March, officially in March. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. Just for everyone listening, the first time I ever met Alison is actually, actually do you want to tell everyone how you got into the Inner Circle? I think it's hilarious. Alison Prince: Yeah. I hope I don't get in trouble for it, though. Stephen Larsen: No. It'll be awesome. Alison Prince: I own a blog called How Doe She? I've been running that for almost eight years, which is crazy. We're always trying to learn, always trying to figure out new ways to do affiliate type promotions on the blog. I went to an affiliate conference, it was actually down in Las Vegas. When I got there, it was not the conference that I signed up for. I went to the classes. The classes, I swear, every single speaker was drunk, or it was totally a click bait class. The title was one thing and then what they spoke on was totally different. I'm like, where am I? I saw Click Funnel and I'm like, oh I wonder if this will really help my business? I went and I listened to Russell, and his title was exactly what he spoke about. He wasn't drunk. I really appreciated the honesty from the title. His pitch, the way he presented himself, I was just super impressed with it. Then what, two weeks later I had joined the Inner Circle. From just figuring out who Russell Brunson was, two weeks later, joined the Inner Circle because I knew he was good. I knew his message was good. I knew he was honest, and so I just jumped in with both feet. Stephen Larsen: That's awesome. I mean, it was literally, what, two weeks later you were at the Funnel Hackathon event, the FHAT event. Alison Prince: Yes, which was a wild ride. Stephen Larsen: Yeah, and you stood up and you were talking and stuff. It's funny because you introduced yourself and your story. I remember, I mean it's an intense three days. In the back office though, like back in Russell's office, he and I were both like, "Have you met that Alison lady? Oh my gosh, she's so cool. Where does she come from? Where are more people like that?" When we see you as an individual, and you as a person and the things that you're doing, you just seem like the kind of person that is 100% truly genuine and there and happy. You're present in the moment, and it makes people wonder, "Who is this lady? How is she doing what she's doing and why am I not doing that?" It's really cool. We talked all about ... Don't think, yeah, we were
