We explore how to take successful live launches and transition them into evergreen funnels that can continuously bring in sales.

A few years back, I made an episode of Marketing Secrets about becoming a "RainMaker"—someone who brings in leads and drives revenue within a company, ensuring unlimited earning potential. I originally shot this for a friend, but this principle is far too easily forgotten so I wanted to return to it with you. So whether you’re an entrepreneur or technician, this concept is critical for anyone trying to increase their earning potential.I explore the three main roles in any business: the entrepreneur, the technician, and the rainmaker. While technicians are vital for a business's operations, they often have income ceilings, unlike rainmakers, who possess the ability to bring in new customers and generate money. Becoming a rainmaker means you're indispensable, and there are no limits to your income because you're directly responsible for the company's growth. I also dive into the mindset shifts required to make this transformation, whether you're a videographer, doctor, or anything in between.Key highlights: Entrepreneur vs. Technician: Why technicians often have income caps, while entrepreneurs and rain makers have limitless potential. The Role of the Rainmaker: How to shift your focus from perfecting your craft to making money. Becoming Invaluable: Strategies for positioning yourself as a rainmaker within an organization. Immersion & Learning: Why deep learning and surrounding yourself with the right knowledge are key to mastering this skill. Discover how you can take control of your financial future by mastering the art of making it rain in your business or career by tuning in!Don't forget to check out this awesome deal from Mint Mobile! https://mintmobile.com/funnelsAnd if you want to enjoy the Marketing Secrets Show ad-free, check out http://marketingsecrets.com/adfree Learn more about your ad choices.

This keynote is one of my favorite moments of the event because it gives me a chance to reflect on the journey we've all been on together as FunnelHackers. Over the past decade, we've seen so much growth, both personally and professionally, and I want to do a review of where we've been, where we're going, and how to keep evolving as entrepreneurs in today's marketing landscape.Throughout the presentation, I share some insights into the power of entrepreneurship - how I believe that entrepreneurs, not politicians or big institutions, are the ones who truly change the world. I also discuss the concept of resistance—how it shows up in our lives every day and how overcoming it is key to fulfilling our higher calling. Lastly, I walk the audience through finding their "ikigai," the Japanese term for your reason for being, and how to use that clarity to drive your business forward.Key highlights include: Entrepreneurs On The Hero’s Journey: Why the world needs us to step up and lead through innovation and creation. Overcoming Resistance: How to recognize and defeat resistance, the force that stops you from fulfilling your dreams. Finding Your Ikigai: Understanding the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
