I donāt know about you, but Iām pretty excited that I survived the drive to the office today.
When you start getting excited by every single thing that happens, even things that normally arenāt that cool, but youāre like, āThat was awesome.ā First off, your brain starts going, āWow that actually was awesome.ā Right now Iām out in the snow and this is awesome. I have a chance to share with you guys and get a sales letter. I got two things done today in the snow. How awesome is that? Most people would be like, āIām in the snow, Iām miserable. Life is crappy.ā And thatās the reality most people live in.Ā

Hey everyone, good morning. I hope you guys are doing awesome. Iām stuck in the snow right now and most people would be complaining, but guess what. Iām crazy effective right now. I can barely move, apparently in Boise when thereās a half a centimeter of snow it shuts the whole city down. So Iām stuck in the snow.
But while Iāve been stuck in the snow, listen to everything Iāve accomplished already. Weāre sending out a letter to our Dream100, letting them know about the book launch on April 18th. By the way if you guys want to participate in that, mark it on your calendars today. April 18th is when the Expert Secrets book is going live. So I was going to write that today, but I was like I donāt have time to write it. So I have a guy on my team, and I think everyone needs a guy on their team that does this. His name is Levi and what he does is, I vox him stuff and he writes it out and cleans it up.
So when I want to send emails, I just vox him and then he puts the emails in Clickfunnels and Actionetics and types them all out. Then I look in there, tweak it and then send it out, which has been so great. And then today, for the sales letter I just voxed him, āHey man, Iām stuck in the snow. Hereās the sales letter I want to send out.ā So I sent it to him, heās going to write it out, give it to me, Iāll edit it and then weāll send out an actual physical sales letter from there.
The cool thing about that, I donāt know about most of you guys, but this is the hard thing about writing. This is why I think copywriting is typically so hard and everyone struggles with it. Itās because most of us are really good selling face to face. I can sell you on why you should go see this movie or why you should whatever. Those things are easy to do. But itās like, if I have to write that to you, itās so much harder and then you start writing, youāre creative brain thatās really good at selling, starts getting out and your analytical editing brain is like, āWait, you have a typo there. You need a period. You forgot the comma. What about capitalization.ā So youāre going back and forth and itās painful.
I know for me, when I start writing emails, I log into Actionetics and start typing it out, I start stressing out because it doesnāt look good. I spend half the time editing and half the time to write. Iām going back and forth, and I know the story is really good, but it takes so long to type it out that I just shorten the story. I donāt even tell it. I donāt know, itās just not as good as it could be. So what I do now is vox him the stuff, tell him the story and vox it and he writes it out. Iām like, āDang, that looks actually really good.ā He knows the format I like my emails in, so he puts it in 99% the way there and I go and clean it up and send it out.
Anyway, I think thatās cool. So I hope you guys think itās cool too. Because itāll be a shortcut. But it works for sales letters, works with emails, works with anything youāve got to write. Even my book, thatās how I wrote my book initially. The first draft came from me dictating through my phone and then Julie on my team re-writing it and then me going back and doing deep edits from there. I think its magic because it pulls the editing side out of your body, or out of your brain and gets you to be creative when youāre just writing. So donāt actually write, just talk.
So I got that done, and then I thought that was going to take my whole drive to the office, but Iām halfway there. Iām stuck behind a big old, whatās it called? A tow truck. I guess itās probably more efficient to have a tow truck behind you, so if you wreck he can pull you out. If I wreck, heās going to be gone by the time anyone notices.
But yeah, Iām stuck. Weāre going 1 mile an hour. I got my meeting in 4 minutes. Not going to make it in time. But I got time to hang out with you guys, which is even better. So thank the snow because thatās awesome.
So todayās message, what I wanted to talk about, is all about being excited. I think that the worst thing about most people nowadays, nobody is excited about anything. Iāll have the coolest thing and I share it with somebody and theyāre like, āWow.ā Iām like, āWhat? Wow? Thatās all I got from that. Dude, you should be going crazy.ā If you notice one thing about me, I get so excited about everything. Even the little dumb things that shouldnāt matter. I just get excited by it.
Itās interesting what happens when you do this. So a couple of things, when you start getting excited by every single thing that happens, even things that normally arenāt that cool, but youāre like, āThat was awesome.ā First off, your brain starts going, āWow that actually was awesome.ā Right now Iām out in the snow and this is awesome. I have a chance to share with you guys and get a sales letter. I got two things done today in the snow. How awesome is that? Most people would be like, āIām in the snow, Iām miserable. Life is crappy.ā And thatās the reality most people live in. Where because Iām excited Iām like, āThat is pretty cool. I could do this. What else can I do?ā In fact, I was on slack. I downloaded the slack app, which we started using in our office. Iām messaging people and getting crap done while Iām sitting here doing nothing.
I also snapchatted a story about the new office. Iām getting a lot of crap done in the snow. And then when cool things do happen, again someone goes to see a movie, Iām like, āHow was the movie?ā and theyāre like, āIt was alright.ā Iām like, āWhat? How was that alright? You just sawā¦.āIt could be anything, āYou just saw Batman and Superman fight to the death. It was alright? Are you serious? That was awesome. I donāt care who you are or what you think, that was amazing.ā
This weekend I saw Rogue One again for the second time. And what was cool was Chad Woolner, one of my buddies/chiropractor, he put this thing on, so this is cool. He, and you may think this is impossible, but heās an offline business and guess what he did, he used a funnel to make a bunch of money this weekend. So this is what he did. He built a page in Clickfunnels, he recorded a video of him telling a story. He told his origin story about why he got into chiropractic, and at the end he invited people as a guest. He said, āEven if youāre a member of our clinic or not. I donāt really care if your part of a community. But we rented out a whole theater, weāre going to be showing Rogue One, if you want to come. If you want to bring your friends and family, bring them all. Itās my treat because Iām a chiropractor who cares.ā And then he sent it out to his list of clients and friends, posted it on Facebook, drew up some ads and everything.
And from that he filled up a theater of 300 people, and so my kids and I all went and saw Rogue One with him. So he shows up to Rogue One and he had recorded a whole bunch of video testimonials of all his patients, so everyone is sitting in this movie before the movie starts, a captive audience of 300 people. And heās playing on the huge screen all these testimonials talking about why heās amazing, why his clinic is amazing, which is awesome.
Then after the movieās done, as soon as the credits come in, boom he cuts the credits, the lights come up and heās like, āHey everyone, before you leave, weāve got some prizes.ā So he does a drawing and gives out Star Wars things and everyoneās excited and everyoneās sitting there listening to him, again captivated. Heās got 300 people sitting in the room and then he keeps talking about a special offer, āHey if you guys want to come in and get adjusted by the chiropractor that everyone is talking about in the videos, and the oneās that served you and let you come to this cool movie. If you want this law of reciprocity to work both ways, weāre even going to do something better. Weāre going to make a special offer.ā What, are you kidding me? You canāt make a special offer if youāre a chiropractor. Everyone charges $40 for an adjustment. āNo, this is what weāre going to do. Weāre going to make a special offer. If you come in for an initial exam, weāre going to give you a free massage and on top of your massage, weāll give you a $50 amazon gift card, just for coming in and letting us check you out.ā
So people are like, āDude, thatās a good offer. I want a free massage and a $50 gift card. Itās worth it to come in. And my neck has been kind of hurt, my back, have him look at it. My insurance is going to pay the bill. Iām in for that.ā Boom, all the sudden he gets this table rush, thereās a huge line of people outside, signing up for free chiropractic care. All because of a movie.
So first off, Iām sitting there as the marketer in the room freaking out, snapchatting the whole thing. āThis is amazing. Iāll find funnels. Funnels work for offline business, are you kidding me?ā How many chiropractors do you know that closed 50 people yesterday? He had a captive audience with 300 people and closed 50 of them on chiropractic care. Yeah, one. The only dude thatās actually using funnels. So thereās number one.
Number two is Iām watching this movie for the second time and Iām with my kids. Iām like, āThis is so amazing.ā And Iām looking at people, all my Facebook group are writing these reviews, āThe movie is okay, wasnātā that funny.ā Iām like, āAre you kidding me? Did you not see that scene with Darth Vader at the end? Heās thrashing everybody. It was amazing.ā
Anyway, Iām just saying, you guys need to be more excited. Everyone needs to be more excited. There are some amazing things, we live in this day and era and time when all this amazing stuff is happening around us and weāre missing it because weāre so bored. Weāre so unimpressed with the remarkable thatās happening around us. There are literally miracles happening every single day all around us and weāll look at it like, āMeh.ā What? Dude, did you see what just happened? How are you guys just āmeh-ingā that? Thatās a big freaking deal. Thatās something we should all stop and be like, āwow.ā
So anyway, I try to be excited all the time. Iām sure it drives some of you guys crazy. Iām sure Iāve got a lot of people who canāt stand me because of it, but the people I want to surround myself with are those who are seeing the miracles happening around us. Realizing that this stuff that kings would have paid everything they had, given up their entire fortune to watch the movies we get to watch for $10. And the fact that Iām in a car right now, itās snowing outside, itās freezing cold, and Iām able to say I want this to be 70 degrees and I want my seat to be warm. It is. Iām sitting in comfort right now.
This is better than havingā¦..the Pharaohās back in the day would sit in one of those carts people would carry them around. I bet it was still hot. This is the miracle, I click a button, I push my foot down and it moves forward and itās heated. This is exciting. Are you guys missing this? I may be going to the extreme here, but I want you guys to stop today and I want you to look around and start acknowledging this amazingness thatās happening and be like, āDude, that was awesome. That, right there, that was amazing. That right there, that was amazing.ā The fact that I walked, I just drove by a Jack in the Box, I could drive in there right now and for $5 have somebody make me the most amazing meal on earth. Thatās amazing. Yeah, thatās not healthy, but itās pretty amazing, you have to admit.
Anyway, there you go you guys. With that said, life is good. Sure, thereās some bad things happening around us, but look around at the miracles. We have it pretty dang, freaking amazing and I hope youāre all grateful for that, because I am and I hope you are as well. So count your many blessings, because they are there. You just gotta look for them.
With that said, Iām at the office. I havenāt died, which is like, Iām freaking out excited about that too. I could have wrecked multiple times. Iām a horrible driver right now. Iāve been snapchatting, writing sales letters, and voxing, and podcasting all on this ride and Iāve survived. Thatās amazing. Iām pretty stoked about that. I donāt know about you guys, but I hope you are. Some of you are like, āMan, I wish he would have died and it would have ended the torture.ā But for the rest of you guys, we survived it, thatās exciting. We should all have a party today or something. I donāt know. I think it calls for a party.
So alright, there you go you guys. Iām excited, hope you are as well. And for any of you guys wondering if offline funnels work. They do. You gotta think a little bit, you gotta be a little creative, but the key message is the same. Capture results, push people into a funnel, after youāve done that, try to get a captive audience, create an irresistible offer. The game is the same. Doesnāt matter where youāre at, youāve just gotta think through it.
I had someone the other day, āYeah, that works for B to C, but it doesnāt work for B to B?ā Iām like, āIt depends, is the B to B, are they people? Because it only works on people.ā So yeah, if theyāre people that youāre going to be communicating with, this stuff works. If theyāre not humans and youāre dealing with robots, I guessā¦..but b to b, B to C, as long as itās not B to R, B to robot, business to robot, youāre screwed because robotās have no emotion. But for everybody else, this crap works.
So there you go. We should get t-shirts, that say something about B to R. Okay, Iām pulling into a snow filled thing, and I have my flipā¦ā¦..oh Iām sliding, Iām sliding, but Iām stopped. And Iām officially at the office and weāre alive. Iām pretty stoked about that too. Alright you guys, talk to you soon. Have a great day and unless you sell B to R you should be smiling because funnels work. Talk to you soon, bye everybody.
