The Russell Brunson Show The MIFGE Secret: Turning Offers Into Legacy Assets That Live Forever | #Marketing - Ep. 81
Books Outlive Launch Hype
- Russell Brunson realized books are the first creations of his that continued selling long after a launch ended.
- That observation shifted his focus from launches to building lasting written assets.
Buying Napoleon Hill's Archive
- Russell described finding and buying Napoleon Hill's rare materials, then chartering a plane to retrieve 30 crates.
- He treated the archive as stewardship and the start of a personal-development collection for his library.
Write For Forever, Not For The Launch
- Brunson concluded the written word endures beyond events, courses, and launches.
- He publicly declared his intent to place his works into the public domain after death to enable future reuse.


















In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show I talk about what happens after you’ve achieved everything you set out to do and still feel like something’s missing. For years, I thought success meant the next funnel, the next product, the next million-dollar launch. But eventually, I realized that making money wasn’t what made me happy. What I wanted was to build something that would last… something that would outlive me.
That’s what sent me down the rabbit hole of legacy… and what led me to rediscover the power of the written word. Books don’t fade when the algorithms shift. They keep selling, keep teaching, keep changing people’s lives long after we’re gone. That’s why I started building a 20,000-square-foot library behind ClickFunnels HQ. It’s why I flew home with thirty crates of Napoleon Hill’s personal manuscripts. And it’s why I’ve spent the last few years turning presentations, newsletters, and even funnels into timeless assets that can live forever.
Key Highlights:
-
The story behind my private library project and what it represents for entrepreneurs who are truly “driven.”
-
The wild story of buying Napoleon Hill’s personal archive and what it taught me about stewardship, history, and preserving ideas.
-
How rebuilding Dan Kennedy’s M.I.F.G.E. revealed a repeatable way to build continuity funnels that pay for themselves from day one.
-
Why Ben Settle’s high-ticket print strategy inspired me to create physical books and assets designed to be passed down, not forgotten.
-
How every entrepreneur can turn their knowledge, presentations, and ideas into a printed, high-value offer that stands the test of time.
At some point, every entrepreneur faces the same question: what will remain when the launches end and the spotlight fades? This episode is about learning to build for forever. The written word, the frameworks, the teachings… those are the real legacy. If you want to build something that lasts generations, it starts with putting your message into a form that never dies. Because one day, someone else might be reading your words the same way I now read Napoleon Hill’s… and that’s the real game we’re playing!!!
