The story of how I got on stage at Funnel Hacking Live. Well it all started when I ran
past security and stolen mic right out of Russell's hands.
Just kidding, that never happened. Stick around because
in this video, I'm gonna share with you the whole story and then also how you get paid
for public speaking engagements.
And my secret to presenting on the FHL stage.
In 2018, I attended my first Funnel Hacking live, and it was a huge game changing experience
for me at the time, I had just left my full time job as a dental hygienist to go all in
on my social media business.
And I attended this event because a friend of mine had told me about it, but it just
blew my mind.
First of all, Funnel Hacking live is like a rock concert for marketers.
There is no other conference like it, I was there sitting in the audience.
And I saw people just like me, crossing the stage, getting their two comma club awards,
which is an award that you earn when you've earned a million dollars in your business.
And here are these people that they also had regular backgrounds just like me, I had just
left my profession as a dental hygienist.
And I thought the goal the dream would be to make $100,000 in a year, that was the ceiling
I had set for myself, that's the only thing that I thought would be possible.
But going to Funnel Hacking live totally set my sights higher and showed me a new vision,
a new reality for what was really possible, especially thanks to this community, this
software, click funnels, and Russell as a mentor.
So the beginning of 2018 was my first Funnel Hacking live the beginning of 2019, I attended
my second Funnel Hacking live.
And there's actually a video of me that I'm pointing up at the stage and I'm saying, I'm
calling my shot.
I'm gonna be on that stage next year. I'm going to call it now, next year 2020.
Next year, and for me, the goal was to be able to cross that stage to get my two comma
Club Award, but also was a huge dream, to be asked to speak at Funnel Hacking live for
a lot of people in this community, that would just be a huge honor to to give back to this
community that has helped us to grow so much.
So I called my shop publicly, I posted this video of me saying next year, I'm going to
be up on that stage.
Little did I know I would be there for both my two comma club award and being asked to
speak I made my first million later in 2019, and my second in 2020.
So here's the story.
Several years in a row, there always happened to be a pregnant speaker at FHL.
And I was like, I can do that I was at that time in my life.
I was like, you know, probably gonna have babies soon.
So one year in my inner circle presentation, I joined Russell's Inner Circle, I photoshopped
myself onto someone's pregnant body on stage at Funnel Hacking live and I made the joke.
If you need a pregnant speaker next year, I'm ready to take one for the team.
And then I got a divorce instead. I'm not trying to make light of it.
That was a really hard time in my life.
But like this video, if you can relate to the feeling of when you think your life or
your business is headed one way, and then takes a sharp turn.
So out of the blue, I got this box from Russell saying, Hey, can you get on zoom with me really
quick, and I had a feeling I was hoping it's either something really good, or something
really bad.
So I got a question for you. Okay, are you haven't a baby?
No, no, it's okay.
I still want you to speak on Funnel Hacking Live, will you be okay?
I didn't tell him at the time, what was kind of crumbling in the background?
He said, Well, no matter can you speak at Funnel Hacking live.
And it was just it was incredible.
It was, it was a very exciting moment, especially because I really had visualized for a long
time what that would feel like to step on that stage and have this experience to be
able to give back to this community.
Click Funnels is such a huge part of my life, I went to every single event, there was unlock
the secrets to comma club cruise, I was always showing up and networking with his community.
And it was always my intention to provide value, which I think is a big part of why
he asked me is because I was already providing value and part of this community and really
immersed into it.
And I think that it's very beneficial for Clickfunnels for Russell, to give people a
platform to do it.
For more people when they're already doing it.
They're already known as a big part of that community.
So I like to think that I earned that spot by how I was continuously always showing up
and by the identity that I created inside of Clickfunnels.
Since speaking at Funnel Hacking live, people have asked me what do you think I have to
do to be able to be asked to speak at this event.
And I'll tell you that I can only imagine Russell or any of the executives that Click
Funnels are probably flooded every year with people's pitches like I can only imagine that
their inbox is probably just tons of people saying, can I speak?
So I would tell you that you have to earn it, rather than ask for it, show them what
you can provide rather than tell.
I think it's a good mindset, whether you're asking for a favor or an opportunity that
you always give, before you ask, you know, I actually asked Russell to speak at my event
content machine live later in 2020.
But I knew that this wasn't something that I could just ask him, I needed to be able
to provide value first, and maybe show him how he would benefit or something that would
incentivize him.
I knew going into speaking at Funnel Hacking live, that he has a big intention for that
event, he sells the belief from stage that everyone in that audience is capable of achieving
these big results with Click Funnels with this software that they can also earn a million
dollars and earn a two comma Club Award.
Well, I was at the time on the way to my two comma club award, I was participating in the
Clickfunnels community.
And my role I knew was to go on stage at Funnel Hacking live to also contribute to that belief
to help people and show them how they can generate traffic to their funnels with YouTube.
That was the topic I spoke on.
And I knew that if he's going to ask someone to speak at his event, how am I contributing
to the overall puzzle?
How do I become a puzzle piece and add value to this event, and help bring him closer to
his overall goal.
When I asked him to speak at my event, it wasn't one of those things, I could just call
him up and say, Hey, Russell, the speaker.
In my event, I actually made a really fun marketing campaign, which I'll link in the
description below, you'll see I actually made him a couple music videos to ask him to speak
and create a bunch of buzz around it so that by the time he spoke in my event, there was
a lot of people really excited to see him speak.
So it created the audience and created the benefit.
And then we could also help support by you know, driving traffic to his book sales or
to ClickFunnels.
Before I ever asked him to speak at my event, I became one of the top 10 affiliates for
his book Launch Traffic Secrets, which showed that I created a whole campaign to support him.
And then my event also gave out tons of free copies of his books.
So that was also really beneficial for him to speak at it to then provide more value
and push his book sales even more, also share some really behind the scenes of my Funnel,
Hacking live journey.
And I actually have a whole playlist on this channel of several vlogs leading up to my
entrance to that stage, I was going through one of the most pivotal times in my career
while also going through the biggest transition in my life.
Four weeks before I spoke at Funnel Hacking live, I announced publicly that my marriage
had ended.
This, of course, was a really difficult time for me.
And I know I had some moments where I considered am I not ready for this?
I'm not ready to speak on this stage.
Are people gonna judge me? Of course, you know,
I thought for myself getting divorced at this early age, people would look at me as a failure
and think why would I listen to her if she doesn't ever live figure it out.
But instead, I decided to embrace that message and share it and the community surrounding
me embraced me and encouraged me to push on and push forward and encouraged me to do it
for them, not just for me, if I had stopped creating continent wouldn't just impact me.
And that was the big epiphany that I had was that helping people doesn't stop just because
your life isn't perfect. No one's is.
So I documented my whole journey to getting on that stage, the highs and the lows.
I spoke on the two comma club cruise just weeks before that.
And that was a really emotional experience for me re entering the public with a new name
and the attention and the sympathy that people give.
And there was a really big lesson in documenting the story, because people resonated and they
want to cheer you on.
And they want to experience that story.
Instead of it being what I feared was going to brand me as the divorce girl.
Because I shared the story, it became a story of perseverance.
And because of that, I entered and exited the stage to a standing ovation.

That would just be the biggest honor and it was one that I was really and at the time
I just hoped that it would be I already said this and my first two comma club.
I mean my first before I asked him to speak then I got a divorce instead of a word that
I want to say that as a joke, but I don't want it to be like cringy.
