Thanks...I’m Back! - Dave Woodward - FHR #324

As I drive home from McCall ID, I reflect on the last 60 days. It has been filled with TONS of travel, some sleepless nights, and a bunch of AMAZING events that have given me so many take aways!

I was getting super frustrated with my podcast, even making it transparent in my episodes (I think I may have mentioned it a time or two ;)   I have had a TON of people reach out to me to let me know that my content has made some sort of impact on them.  Your "thank you’s" have given me a new rejuvenated energy to put towards this podcast and I’m SO excited to continue publishing my journey!

Episode Transcript:

00:00 Welcome to funnel hacker radio podcast where we go behind the scenes and uncover the tactics and strategies top entrepreneurs are using to make more sales, dominate their markets and how you can get those same results. Here's your host, Dave Woodward.

00:17 Hey everybody, welcome back to Funnel Hacker Radio. I'm so excited to be here, I really am quite excited actually. I've had the opportunity recently of just getting back From Funnel Hacking Live and from Traffic and Conversion. It's been one crazy, crazy busy 60 days here.  I'm actually driving back right now from Mccall Idaho, where I’ve been up with my wife for the last two days, just kind of getting away and she and I were sitting there talking about how crazy it's been since the first of the year. We literally 60 days ago, we were up here in McCall, just finishing up a fun little vacation time with my family and then we jumped into, jumped on the plane and headed down to the Two Comma Club X cruise, were out for basically seven, eight days, I guess almost 10 days on a cruise, came back, got ready for 10X, went to 10X, was there for a week and then went off to the Bahamas for two days, came back, got ready for Funnel Hacking Live, went to Funnel Hacking Live for a week and literally the day after Funnel Hacking Live, went straight to San Diego and was there for four days for Traffic and Conversion-

01:20 Came home and then headed up to McCall. I think he'd been home maybe two, two and half weeks, three weeks since the first of the year. It's been a busy, busy time, but during all this period of time I was really getting kind of frustrated thinking, you know, I'm just done with this whole podcast and I made mention of that on a couple of different podcasts as well as some Facebook lives and I honestly want to let you guys know how much I appreciate all of the people who reached out to me. Whether it was in person at Funnel Hacking Live or in person to Traffic and Conversion or on a Facebook post or a text or personal message. I literally have had dozens of people reach out to me, thanking me for the content that I've produced, whether it was on Facebook lives or on a podcast.

02:00 And the crazy thing about it for me is it's not only energize me, but it has wanted me to be 10 times better. I've kind of rededicated myself to create an even better and better content for publishing purposes to make sure that what I'm providing actually gives you greater results that are more of take action type of of podcasts and content. I've got some great people  we've lined up here to be interviewing over the next few weeks and I'm really excited to share this podcast with you. Also, I'm spending a lot more time digging deep to really kind of uncover some of the entrepreneurial scars of my own experience and many of you had asked to relate a little bit more about my own personal success stories as well as the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial journey and to share those with you guys so you can kind of expect those in the next month as well.

02:49 Again, I just wanted to use this podcast to first of all, thank you so much for everybody who’s listened as long as you've listened. Most importantly for those of you reached out and basically boosted me up in a time when I was kind of down and frustrated. I want to thank you for that. I'd encourage anyone else who's listening to other people's other content, whether it's on Facebook or blog posts or podcasts or youtube, wherever you're consuming content. It's amazing what a little thank you goes,  It  goes a long ways and I just wanted to say thanks for all those people who did that for me. And if you're following other people, I'd encourage you to do the same. On a side note, I highly recommend that you spend some time to start to publish. Publishing has become really one of the most important things and I'm starting to realize it more and more all the time.

03:35 A couple of benefits of publishing and I've seen recently,  one has been the network. The connection has been fantastic. I've been amazed at the amount of people who actually listened. They don't ever say they listen, but then that all of a sudden they come up and say, you know what I've been listening to for a long time and I really appreciated what you said here, here and here., and it really changed my life. I've had people who've, I honestly had been my peers who I would never have thought they've spent anytime, listened to my, to my content and they've come out recently and said the thank yous as well. So I highly recommend that if you've got a, a thought, an idea, a journey that you're going on to document that journey through publishing, take the time to really expose yourself, open up, let people see what's really going on.

04:17 You're going to see a lot, much, a lot more of the vulnerable side of me coming out as I really kind of explain some of the journey that's I'm going on over the course of this next, this next year. Uh, we've ClickFunnels eclipse basically did over a hundred million in 2018 and we got some pretty lofty goals and a lot of that is going to take a lot of growth for me personally and I want to take you on that journey. And so I'll be sharing some of that with you. Uh, some of it will be the things that I'm going to, the people I'm going to be meeting, the people I'm going to be sharing with at bringing on. So I highly recommend that you spend the time doing the same thing. Um, it's, it is way outside my comfort zone to get on a pod podcast or to get on a Facebook live.

04:57 But as I've been doing it, I'm actually getting more and more confident in the content I'm providing but also in the stories that I'm telling. So first of all, thank you for everyone who has listened. Second of all, thank you for those people who reached out and acknowledged it. And third, and most importantly, I highly recommend that you do the to do the same and that is spend the time going out and start to publish. We just finished  our third one funnel away challenge. It's in, in the midst of it right now. I highly recommend that if you're trying to figure out what to do next, and this could be either what to do with your own podcast, with your own content, with your own business challenges have literally become the biggest game changer for us at ClickFunnels. I spoke at traffic and conversion about it.

05:47 And I can tell you right now if you were trying to, anything in your business, the one thing you need to add is a challenge funnel.
