Cody Builds A Business

I had a great question from a listener named Andrew regarding Ep. 208 from this Labor Day.  1. How much money do I need saved up to make the transition 2. How do I make the transition with my current employer 3. What would you do if you lost it all and had to rebuild the next 30 days. LOVE these questions and I unpack them today. If you have any questions please email me at cody@onehourfunnel.com and get the answers you need! ~ Cody

We have to walk our tribe through the 4 areas of belief and THIS is how you do it.

Good news for you. Even if it feels like people aren’t watching, they are. They’re watching your promotions, they’re watching how you show up online and off-line, they’re watching how you interact with customers and leads and people and other Facebook groups, and watching how you treat your family and those around you. And at some point, when you make an invitation they will decide to join. The timing will be right. And you’ll realize that even though you didn’t know it, they were watching all along.

I am wrapping up a three day conference in Toronto called tribe live. I joined tribe a year ago at this live event, and didn’t really do anything with it the entire year. Until last week. I launched my membership site and it was a great success and I are off to the races. Today on the show, I tell you the number one take away from this awesome conference with Stu McLaren. To sign up for the waitlist for the next time I open my membership- go to onehourfunnel.com/waitlist

On Wednesday this week I closed off the Founders Launch for my membership site - the first-ever chance someone had to enroll and get ongoing support with their ads and funnels. Wondering how it went? I break it all down in this episode. If you want to be the first in line to find out when The FAM opens up again, just go to www.onehourfunnel.com/waitlist and you'll be notified when we reopen later this year! 

Ever notice that if you expect something to be hard it is? Or if you think something is going to be easy it tends to work out that way? Today on the show, we talk about how to surround yourself with people that will encourage you to be curious and will uplift and support you. And if you want to be surrounded by people that believe the same way, join The FAM. Learn more at www.onehourfunnel.com/famfounder

This weekend at the gym I had to swallow my pride and ask for a spot on a heavier lift than I was comfortable making on my own.  And that's also precisely why I'm creating a new membership community. To give you a spot when you need it. https://www.onehourfunnel.com/famfounder Why are you putting this together? Through spending close to a million dollars on Facebook ads and generating several million in sales for my private clients, then writing a book and hosting my first event in June 2019.... I noticed a gap in the marketplace for online entrepreneurs.  People avoided leveraging the power of online marketing (Facebook Ads and Sales Funnels) to get more leads and make more sales in their business. “Why in the world are more people not doing this?” I asked myself. “The tools and tactics are simple and effective… there has to be a reason that people are shying away.” Though I don’t know the full answer, I have a few guesses. One - People don’t know “how”.  This leads to procrastination or avoid

I really believe that if something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. When I grew up in Texas I played football and was constantly reminded by the coach to operate with a sense of urgency. This was brought to my attention this week while I watch my oldest son start his football practice. And the same thing is true in business. If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing with a sense of urgency. What are you holding back on? Where in your life are you procrastinating? use this weekend and next week to get unstuck and to conduct your business and life with a sense of urgency.
