Expert Secrets is an obvious attempt to entice readers to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on Russell Brunson's ClickFunnels products.
I'm glad I read it anyways.
Half the book is Brunson's tactical advice on how to create the perfect webinar, which I have zero interest in.
I'm glad I read it anyways.
Everything Russell Brunson writes in Expert Secrets leads me to believe he's the type of guy who won't hesitate to embellish the truth to manipulate people into giving him their money.
I'm glad I read it anyways.
I'm glad I read Expert Secrets because, despite many blatant negatives, I discovered some powerful insights. For example, the concept of opportunity vs. improvement (see comic below, which I wrote about here). Concepts like this actually changed the way I market my product, which is something other more "respectable" marketing books didn't do for me.
While I may not find Brunson's approach to be the most tasteful, I can't deny he's had considerable success and there is quite a bit I can learn from him. To ignore him entirely for his flaws would be a mistake because this book contains a lot of valuable, dare I say, wisdom.

This book is about branding yourself and creating an online business. There is a small section about identifying your expertise by filling in this statement 'I want to teach people who ___ on how ___.' An example would be 'I want to teach people who are trying to lose weight on how to follow the keto plan without giving up carbs entirely.' Most of the book is about how to market yourself and create presentations/courses/etc. that hook people in. There is also frequent sales pitches for the author's other services/products.

Although there are some valuable things mentioned in the book, readers can't deny that the book feels like another promotion vehicle for clickfunnels (and if you look online what clickfunnels is and you watch some of the youtube comments on it, you'll realise it's yet another sales spammer tool). I categorize this book in the genre "how to become a millionaire in one year". It's filled with highly manipulative nonsense, which is repeated over and over endlessly. Last but not least... it's all about the "execution" of sales... while adding value and having a good product is SO much more important.
Complete waste of my time... but I read it through as there are a few valuable things in there as well... but you'll have to swallow more bullshit then you might be willing to.

I define my own destiny.
I never give up or give excuses.
I am unstoppable.
I create my own luck.
CREATE A BATTLE CRY
My name is...
I'm part of a group of (underground entrepreneurs you've probably never heard of)
We don't (rely on venture capital...) In fact our motivation is the exact opposite. We (serve knowing we can change lives.)

Ex: If I can make all people believe that funnels are they key to online sales success and are only attainable through clickfunnels, then all other objections become irrelevant.

Never tell the prospect but by asking questions through stories they will achieve their own epiphany

Understand their false story that is creating the doubt.
Then create the epiphany bridge (someone you helped or your story how you proved yourself wrong.)
SECRET #10: THE 3 SECRETS
THE CORE FLASE BELIEFS ARE THE VEHICLE, INTERNAL AND EXTRNAL BELIEFS.
Ex: False belief 1 (VEHCILE) I don't understand how it'd work for me?
Ex: False belief 2 (INTERNAL) I don't think I can build a funnel.
Ex: False belief 3 (EXTERNAL) I don't know how to drive the traffic.
Build Epiphany Bridge story for EVERY false belief.
Ex 1: Show how it worked me me and others so prood it is the vehicle.
Ex 2: Demo live to show how easy it is now as felt the same so designed it with this in mind.
Ex 3: Show how to reverse engineer to get traffic.
Then build a headline around how you debunk that.

SECRET #12: THE PERFECT WEBINAR.
The idea is to have a single point of belief that your message is built around and it is emphasized over and over and over again from a variety of different angles.
Part 1: Rapport. Encourage dreams. Justify failures. Allay fears. Confirm suspicions. Stone enemies.
Part 2: The One Thing. Tell epiphany Bridge story.
Part 3: Breaking and rebuilding belief patterns.
Break and rebuild vehicle.
Break and rebuild internal belief (they can do it).
Break and rebuild external belief (what's keeping them from starting).
Part 4: The Stack. Let me ask you a question.
Information alone, us vs them, only excuses.
Handhold, reluctant hero.
2 choices, say goodbye, if you only got.
Break old habits, 2 choices, now/later.
SECRET #13: THE ONE THING.
Title slide: How to (create a 7 figure funnel in 30 min) without having to (hire or be held hostage by a tech guy.)
Intro/Rapport:
Justify their failures.
Ex: I'm guessing this probably isn't your first time. I want to start off by saying if you've failed at this in the past, it's not your fault. There's a lot of information out there and it can be confusing. Many times it's the information overload that keeps you from success.
Allay their fears.
Ex: If you've been concerned in the past that you just can't do it, I want to put those fears to rest. You can. You just need the right person to explain it to you.
Throw rocks at their enemies.
Ex: The big corporations out there want you to think you can't do it and will be dependent on the system. I'm here to tell you they're wrong. They have their own reasons for wanting you to think that but it's not true.
Confirm suspicions:
Ex: If you've ever thought "why even bother" or the government wants you to fail, you're probably right. They don't benefit from you succeeding. That want to see you stay in debt and rely on them. The difference is we actually care about you and want to see you succeed.
Encourage their dreams.
Ex: That's why we're here. We know you have a dream and want to change and make an impact and want to show you how.
The Ruler: New Opportunity share. Goal is to help them see this is the way.
Ex: my goal for this presentation is to help two types of people. For the beginners, you'll get (opportunity). For more experienced people you'll get (alternative).
Big Domino:
Ex: My goal for this class is to show you how this is the only way for you exponentially grow your company.
Qualify yourself: Share backstory
Ex: Share where you came from and your external and internal results.
Epiphany bridge 1:
Ex: Share the series of events that first convinced you this new opportunity was the vehicle.
Liken the story to them.
Ex: you probably don't want to be in the potato gun business, but funnels still apply to whatever you do. Most people sell (x) and here's why it's hard. My way makes it scalable helps you (y) to earn more.
Caee study.
3 secrets. #1: funnel hacking how to ethically steal from competitors. #2: Funnel cloning for how to copy proven funnels. #3: Traffic hack on how to get customers.
SECRET #14: BREAKING AND REBUILDING BELIEF PATTERNS.
Inspire and cause them to take action to change their lives, DO NOT TEACH AS IT'LL KILL YOUR SALES.
State your secret #1, then to "let me tell you a quick story" and share epiphany bridge 1, then share epiphany #2.
Show other people's results.
"The goal thing is it just didn't work for me, it works for all kinds of people. Here's Joe. He always thought (false belief) was true but after he took that leap of faith and tried things this way, this is what happened...
Break the related beliefs. You're probably thinking you need a lot of money to drive traffdicr right? Well you only actually need 100 clicks a day. You're probably also thinking you need to know how to code, but you can actually just clone other people's funnels on our site.
Ex: "YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING X, RIGHT?" JUST MENTION THE FALSE BELEIF AND GIVE A QUICK STORY OR A FEW SENTENCES ABOUT WHY THE BELEIF IS WRONG AND WHAT THE TRUTH IS.
Reinforce the new belief as truth!
Ex: So now I've shown you how (x). Isn't that awesome?
Transition to selling. Show how they can actually get the results they desire the most.
So I'd like to ask you a question. If you followed what I showed you, do you think you could be successful?
SECRET #15: THE STACK
Here's what your going to get... (breakdown all they'll get.)
Then give quick high level recap of each module.
Show 3 Case studies! (Let me introduce you to... Then there's... And one of the most transformational stories is...
Tue in who it's for (this is for those just starting out as well as those who are already successful and want to learn how to scale!)
DESTROY THE #1 REASON PEOPLE DON'T GET STARTED. "You might be thinking you can't get started because... And here's why that's a mistake that will hold you back.
Show your STACK slide of what they'll get and the value.
Introduce the tools. (you'll be able to.. And you'll be able to get rid of...)
Show how the problem is solved for them.
Ex: I kept running into the same issue as I didn't know how to X, so I had to create (SOLUTION) for myself.
Talk about how much time and money it cost you and how they're getting it for free.
Ex: I don't want you to have to go through the same pain of spending countless hours and money to figure this out. I've already proven this works and going to give them to you.
Break related beliefs about the tools.
Stack more slides (tangible products that help.)
Tie in pain and cost.
Ex: I had to go through (pain), but you won't have to as I'm giving you (tangible product) as a special bonus.
Ease and speed for them.
Keep adding stacks slides of tangible products and keeps stacking.
Move to IF/ALL statements.
Ex: If all this did was X, would it be worth $? Now obviously I'm not going to charge you $, but if I did
I had 2 choices.
Tue in to end result and ask what would the end result be worth?
Drop the price.
Justify the price. (Show how available on website for that price.)
Youve got 2 choices.. Do nothing and get nothing. Or take a leap of faith and test it out.
Gurantee.
Real question.
Urgency/scarcity bonus.
CLOSING AND CALL TO ACTION
Recap offer, countdown, price, call to action.
SECRET #16: TRIAL CLOSES
Constantly ask simple questions to get them to say yes over and over again.
Ex: Is this making sense? Are you getting this? Can you imagine.. Isn't this cool? Right?
Money is good. Would you exchange money for results? OF COURSE!
Show them where most spend their disposable income on things that don't serve them and by spending on things that'll help them grow, they'll have long term fulfillment.
Money replenishes so important to leverage it before time runs out.
Break old habits: Show them if they don't invest today, nothing in their life will change.
Info alone: I want to help you understand that info alone won't get the results, it takes coaching and accountability as well.
Money and excuses: There are 2 kinds of people, those who are good at (X), and those who are good at excuses why they can't. If you make excuses, you're going to have a tough time. The good news is you get to choose. What is your choice? Are you going to be a doer or a dabbler? I'll walk you through signing up.
Say goodbye: To the stress of uncertainty and not knowing what to do. You'll never have to guess again.
Now and later: Paint the picture of where you were before and struggles, and then what life became like.
Only issue is excuses. Probably nervous thinking I don't have the time. And if it's the investment, I don't know how to help you as it's a decision you need to make for yourself. I've invested 10 years and over $50k, but I've gotten back over $500k and a lifestyle I love.
Reluctant hero: I'm not special. In fact I'm a slower learner than anyone I know and struggle with application and that's why I love this system.
If only: If we stopped right here and and you only got 1 tool that you implemented that lead to your life changing, it's totally be worth it right?
Nows the time.

SECRET #18: THE 4 QUESTION CLOSE
Q1: Imagine I teach you everything I know and do everything I can to help you get the results. Now imagine we're talking 1 year from now. What would have to happen for you to feel happy with your progress? What would make you believe this was the best decision you ever made?
Then follow up with WHY.
Q2: Why don't you have it yet? What's been standing in your way and holding you back?
If they blame others, move on. They must take responsibility.
Q3: Think about what resources, connections, talents, or skills you have access to that not currently utilizing we could use to help you overcome your obstacles and achieve your goals.
Keep asking what else.
Recap for them "You told me you want X because y and you haven't been able to achieve that because of A and B and you said you have these resources you could use but haven't fully, right?"
HOW MUCH MORE MONEY (LOVE, WEIGHT) IF YOU WERE ABLE TO ELIMINATE THE OBSTACLES AND LEVERAGE THOSE RESOURCES?

2 choices, say goodbye, if you only got.
Break old habits, 2 choices, now/later.
SECRET #13: THE ONE THING.
Title slide: How to (create a 7 figure funnel in 30 min) without having to (hire or be held hostage by a tech guy.)
Intro/Rapport:
Justify their failures.
Ex: I'm guessing this probably isn't your first time. I want to start off by saying if you've failed at this in the past, it's not your fault. There's a lot of information out there and it can be confusing. Many times it's the information overload that keeps you from success.
Allay their fears.
Ex: If you've been concerned in the past that you just can't do it, I want to put those fears to rest. You can. You just need the right person to explain it to you.
Throw rocks at their enemies.
Ex: The big corporations out there want you to think you can't do it and will be dependent on the system. I'm here to tell you they're wrong. They have their own reasons for wanting you to think that but it's not true.
Confirm suspicions:
Ex: If you've ever thought "why even bother" or the government wants you to fail, you're probably right. They don't benefit from you succeeding. That want to see you stay in debt and rely on them. The difference is we actually care about you and want to see you succeed.
Encourage their dreams.
Ex: That's why we're here. We know you have a dream and want to change and make an impact and want to show you how.
The Ruler: New Opportunity share. Goal is to help them see this is the way.
Ex: my goal for this presentation is to help two types of people. For the beginners, you'll get (opportunity). For more experienced people you'll get (alternative).
Big Domino:
Ex: My goal for this class is to show you how this is the only way for you exponentially grow your company.
Qualify yourself: Share backstory
Ex: Share where you came from and your external and internal results.
Epiphany bridge 1:
Ex: Share the series of events that first convinced you this new opportunity was the vehicle.
Liken the story to them.
Ex: you probably don't want to be in the potato gun business, but funnels still apply to whatever you do. Most people sell (x) and here's why it's hard. My way makes it scalable helps you (y) to earn more.
Caee study.
3 secrets. #1: funnel hacking how to ethically steal from competitors. #2: Funnel cloning for how to copy proven funnels. #3: Traffic hack on how to get customers.
SECRET #14: BREAKING AND REBUILDING BELIEF PATTERNS.
Inspire and cause them to take action to change their lives, DO NOT TEACH AS IT'LL KILL YOUR SALES.
State your secret #1, then to "let me tell you a quick story" and share epiphany bridge 1, then share epiphany #2.
Show other people's results.
"The goal thing is it just didn't work for me, it works for all kinds of people. Here's Joe. He always thought (false belief) was true but after he took that leap of faith and tried things this way, this is what happened...
Break the related beliefs. You're probably thinking you need a lot of money to drive traffdicr right? Well you only actually need 100 clicks a day. You're probably also thinking you need to know how to code, but you can actually just clone other people's funnels on our site.
Ex: "YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING X, RIGHT?" JUST MENTION THE FALSE BELEIF AND GIVE A QUICK STORY OR A FEW SENTENCES ABOUT WHY THE BELEIF IS WRONG AND WHAT THE TRUTH IS.
Reinforce the new belief as truth!
Ex: So now I've shown you how (x). Isn't that awesome?
Transition to selling. Show how they can actually get the results they desire the most.
So I'd like to ask you a question. If you followed what I showed you, do you think you could be successful?
SECRET #15: THE STACK
Here's what your going to get... (breakdown all they'll get.)
Then give quick high level recap of each module.
Show 3 Case studies! (Let me introduce you to... Then there's... And one of the most transformational stories is...
Tue in who it's for (this is for those just starting out as well as those who are already successful and want to learn how to scale!)
DESTROY THE #1 REASON PEOPLE DON'T GET STARTED. "You might be thinking you can't get started because... And here's why that's a mistake that will hold you back.
Show your STACK slide of what they'll get and the value.
Introduce the tools. (you'll be able to.. And you'll be able to get rid of...)
Show how the problem is solved for them.
Ex: I kept running into the same issue as I didn't know how to X, so I had to create (SOLUTION) for myself.
Talk about how much time and money it cost you and how they're getting it for free.
Ex: I don't want you to have to go through the same pain of spending countless hours and money to figure this out. I've already proven this works and going to give them to you.
Break related beliefs about the tools.
Stack more slides (tangible products that help.)
Tie in pain and cost.
Ex: I had to go through (pain), but you won't have to as I'm giving you (tangible product) as a special bonus.
Ease and speed for them.
Keep adding stacks slides of tangible products and keeps stacking.
Move to IF/ALL statements.
Ex: If all this did was X, would it be worth $? Now obviously I'm not going to charge you $, but if I did
I had 2 choices.
Tue in to end result and ask what would the end result be worth?
Drop the price.
Justify the price. (Show how available on website for that price.)
Youve got 2 choices.. Do nothing and get nothing. Or take a leap of faith and test it out.
Gurantee.
Real question.
Urgency/scarcity bonus.
CLOSING AND CALL TO ACTION
Recap offer, countdown, price, call to action.
SECRET #16: TRIAL CLOSES
Constantly ask simple questions to get them to say yes over and over again.
Ex: Is this making sense? Are you getting this? Can you imagine.. Isn't this cool? Right?
Money is good. Would you exchange money for results? OF COURSE!
Show them where most spend their disposable income on things that don't serve them and by spending on things that'll help them grow, they'll have long term fulfillment.
Money replenishes so important to leverage it before time runs out.
Break old habits: Show them if they don't invest today, nothing in their life will change.
Info alone: I want to help you understand that info alone won't get the results, it takes coaching and accountability as well.
Money and excuses: There are 2 kinds of people, those who are good at (X), and those who are good at excuses why they can't. If you make excuses, you're going to have a tough time. The good news is you get to choose. What is your choice? Are you going to be a doer or a dabbler? I'll walk you through signing up.
Say goodbye: To the stress of uncertainty and not knowing what to do. You'll never have to guess again.
Now and later: Paint the picture of where you were before and struggles, and then what life became like.
Only issue is excuses. Probably nervous thinking I don't have the time. And if it's the investment, I don't know how to help you as it's a decision you need to make for yourself. I've invested 10 years and over $50k, but I've gotten back over $500k and a lifestyle I love.
Reluctant hero: I'm not special. In fact I'm a slower learner than anyone I know and struggle with application and that's why I love this system.
If only: If we stopped right here and and you only got 1 tool that you implemented that lead to your life changing, it's totally be worth it right?
Nows the time.

Then follow up with WHY.
Q2: Why don't you have it yet? What's been standing in your way and holding you back?
If they blame others, move on. They must take responsibility.

De o lună și ceva am început să lucrez la o pagină de Instagram cu scopul de a o monetiza. Am auzit de cartea asta de la un YouTuber pe care îl urmăresc și mă gândeam că mă va ajuta și pe mine cu problemele pe care le întâmpin în a crește numărul de urmăritori. Însă, tot ce a rezultat din această lectură a fost să mă facă să pun la îndoială toată ideologia pe care o adoptasem. Surprinzător, nu?
Îmi place să învăț orice, sunt curioasă din fire și știu o grămadă de lucruri despre tot felul de chestii, dar ce folos are dacă nu pot face nimic cu informațiile astea. Am dat la un moment peste un influencer care promovează ideea de Value Creator, adică o persoană care își folosește cunoștințele dobândite pentru a educa alți oameni, dar în același timp reușește să facă și bani din asta. Mi-a plăcut la nebunie ideea, mai ales că îmi doresc să am mai multe surse de venit, așa că am decis să trec la acțiune. Cred că e printre puținii influenceri care te învață să faci bani online ce au prins la mine, restul îi consider scammeri.
Ce nu am realizat însă e că 99% sunt la fel, chiar și cel ce îmi câștigase încrederea, adică persoane nepregătite temeinic, dar foarte bune la a influența masele să cumpere cursuri stupide. Nu sunt împotriva ideii de a face bani online, dar depinde cum o faci și nu e așa de miraculos cum o prezintă influencerii aceștia. Părerea mea e că trebuie să fii bine pregătit ca să treci în rolul de profesor, nu doar cu un pas înainte cum prezintă autorul cărții. Cursurile mi se par cea mai stupidă formă de a face bani, iar eu personal nu ți-aș da vreun leu dacă nu ai studii în domeniu ca lumea. Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare, Patreon sunt platforme ok de predat cursuri, dar nu cum prezintă autorul să ai site-ul tău unde îi jecmănești pe alții de bani. Mie îmi miroase a scammer disperat după profit.
Insistă foarte mult pe ideea că îi ajuți pe alții cerându-le bani, că altfel nu fac nimic după ce au învățat. Pe o parte e adevărat pentru că te mustră conștiința dacă ai dat bani pe ceva și nu îți dai interesul, dar nu cred că e un lucru așa de nobil cum îl prezintă autorul. Un alt aspect care m-a iritat e ideea de cult, să te plasezi în poziția de guru știe-tot, iar dacă mai adăugăm și frecvența cu care autorul și-a promovat afacerea pe tot parcursul cărții rezultă o enervare maximă. Recunosc că pe la sfârșit am mai sărit peste pagini, devenise destul de neplăcută și repetitivă lectura.
Concluzia e că renunț la pagina de Instagram. Nu vreau să îmi pierd integritatea încercând să vând lucruri stupide, iar acum nu sunt suficient de pregătită să ofer ceva cu adevărat valoros încât să cer bani altora. Totuși, voi continua să mă educ pe plan financiar și să caut modalități mai bune pentru a crea alte surse de venit.

This book is PACKED with valuable and actionable insights! Easy to read too.
I had seen several of Russell's ads online and thought that he was just "another online sales guy" and his "free book" offer was just a scam. I was wrong!
This this is a step by step map about how to create a business by selling your advice. As simple as that. It is amazing how much knowledge and wisdom is packed in this book. Russell references A LOT of the TOP BUSINESS BOOKS out there, which validates a lot of the strategies he outlines in this book.
Also, a lot of what he shares is a bit counterintuitive which is why I think is so valuable. For the next month, I'll be revisiting this book and putting into action most of the recommendations.
Some Of My Highlights:
"But information alone isn't enough. It's the skillful application of the right information at the right time that can change your life."
"I honestly believe that the greatest service you can provide for someone is getting them to buy something. The act of buying creates a commitment that causes them to actually take action."

If you are interested in digital marketing Russell Brunson has collected so many ideas here that it is pretty much a must read. His style of marketing is very aggressive - the book itself is basically an ad for his products. But there is so much good material and ideas here to draw from if you are looking to grow your business online. Not a huge fan of how he seems primarily concerned with being "rich" and hanging around millionaires and having status be so important to his life. But this is part of his overall presentation - other marketers will see these things as easily attainable and will buy his books and software. So well done - Brunson sells you on how to do marketing by selling you using that very same marketing.
April 4, 2021
this book has some basic marketing strategies, and once you read it you will be able to see easily who online is using these methods based on some specific wordings. I won't detail them here. If you want to make money at any expense of your integrity go ahead and read it. I mean this with no judgement. Its a hard knock life out there and I have seen these methods work for some of my entrepreneur friends. Be advised though, if your company is based on any sort of ethical standards you will lose it. Thats the cost of calling your company a 'cult-ure' and taking notes from jim jones.

In 2019, I purchased a bundle offer of his black box books, which contained a couple of pamphlets and two books: DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets. The book may come across as promoting an MLM scheme, with a heavy emphasis on upselling and promoting expensive courses.
While the information presented can be valuable, it's important to approach it with a critical eye and evaluate how it can be applied ethically and effectively in your marketing efforts. Ultimately, it's up to the reader to decide if the strategies presented align with their values and goals.
The author heavily promoted his INNER CIRCLE throughout the book, which requires a significant financial investment of 25k USD to join. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes Click Funnels as the best marketing software in the world.
While the software may be effective for some businesses, it's important to consider whether it aligns with your specific needs and budget. Additionally, there may be other options on the market that can achieve similar results like "Elementor" which I use to design my client's websites. It's important to evaluate all available options before committing to any particular tool or software.
The author's main focus in the book is to sell the idea of making money through expensive courses and winning the beliefs of potential customers. While the book is titled "The Expert Secrets," the author's main goal is to promote his company's software, ClickFunnels, through various upsells and sales pitches.

A great marketing book. Especially from the angle of the individual wanting to invest in their own skills. The opening line: "Expert secrets is the second part of a journey you have already started" sums it up pretty well. I'll be reaching for this book again in the future when it comes to positioning a product or individual. A call to arms for individuals to capitalise on their skills and share them with the world. Russell offers some serious advice on positioning products and expertise.
May 18, 2023
Hyperactive marketing idiot blabbering and vomiting out anecdotes about himself and his cool successful friends without actually giving any useful advice. At least not so far. I am really having trouble getting through this book. I do not feel like Brunson spent much time editing this. Nor that he is interested in making this book a valuable read. It is an ad for sales funnels which I had to pay for and so I feel betrayed and ripped off. You are burning your reputation, Brunson.

This book gave me a lot of great ideas.
Anyone who wants to learn about turning their passion into a real business will benefit from this book.

I'm getting into digital marketing so this book was helpful in implementing it.
It's heavily weighing on the funnels though granted Russell Brunson created Click Funnels haha
I feel like the book should have been marketed more about the maker of Click Funnels shares secrets or something. I'm surprised there's nothing of ClickFunnels on the cover because I didn't even know who the author was until started reading the book.
It's interesting about how to sell to people, what the constraints are, and how to help them, and how to create a community.

This is a great book with tons of brilliant ideas on how to best communicate what your "expert-based" business has to offer your potential customers. Yes, he talks about his paid software program here and there throughout the book, and while that might turn off some people (I'm talking to you - one star reviewers), he'd actually be doing a disservice if he did not work his program into the conversation. The great thing about this book is that it's not a 200 page infomercial... but a 200 page masterpiece of better serving your potential and current customers, with a few brief mentions of his paid program sprinkled in. This is the second book I've read from this author and I personally do not use his paid program, but can still take home a truckload of actionable content to add to my own "expert-based" business.
March 24, 2018
Sure...he mentions his products...
But this is SOLID information. I’ll be honest...I joined the ClickFunnels community, but I quickly found it wasn’t for me. I cancelled before my 14 day trial was over. The information inside of this book, however, is SOLID gold. He really doesn’t hold back and wraps Traffic, sales and sign ups for you with a little nice bow on top.
He HONESTLY mentions click funnels around a total of two times in the entire book...and they are valid references. I enjoyed the book thoroughly and Brunson definitely has a new fan in me.

Gets better each time I read this book...
Really enjoy Russell Brunson's ideas, insights, and energy. This book unpacks in a very orderly way how he made his way to significant success in internet marketing. But through it all, I get the sense that he is a pretty grounded guy, with his priorities in the right place.
I do plan to follow up with him for my own ideas, when the time is right...

One of the best business books I've ever read. And re-read. And re-read. Russell lays it out completely, thoroughly and simply. To follow his outline will have you running your internet marketing biz in no time.
This book offers the encouragement, motivation, inspiration and how-to that I needed to start thinking about what I do as a movement -- a chance to change the world.

Excellent book that is a must-read for anyone who is a business owner. Especially if you are selling information products. Really, the framework Russell teaches in this book can apply to selling any product. You just have to customize it and be creative.

Amazing marketing book that teaches how to make money ethically by scaling up your business through some really good hacks and help your customers by providing them maximum value at the same time. Loved it.

=> Đến thời điểm hiện tại điều tôi nhớ và học được từ cuốn sách: Muốn bán hàng tốt phải trở thành bậc thầy kể chuyện: chú ý đến cx nhiều hơn là logic. Cx mới là thứ cuốn hút, truyền cảm hứng cho người khác. Hãy trở thành chuyên gia trong lĩnh vực mình theo đuổi.
- Sự tự tin chỉ dành cho đám con nít; sự tin tưởng mới giúp bạn trở thành một lãnh đạo, một chuyên gia
- Người ta có thể đáp ứng mọi yêu cầu từ những ai biết khích lệ giấc mơ, bào chữa lỗi lầm, xua tan nỗi sợ hãi, khẳng định những hoài nghi của họ, và giúp họ ném đá vào kẻ thù.
- Slogan của tôi: "Everything you can. Everything we can".
- Phải học cách kể chuyện: kể chuyện bằng cảm xúc chứ k phải bằng logic; thuyết phục ng khác bằng cx chứ k phải bằng logic.

7. Kết quả bạn đạt được là gì?

My rating might change when I reas more business books... But for now, this book was extremely fascinated and I learned many interesting things because of it... I definitely have to reread it to be able to digest all the concepts and ideas discussed in it!
