Cody Builds A Business

Getting ready for the event this week and too busy to record from my desktop! Can’t wait.

Quick check in 5 days before my live event.

To be honest, I suck at celebrating my wins and my progress. As entrepreneurs we all want more and we're "proud but never satisfied" (and sometimes I even forget that "proud" part.) We want more tickets sold, more leads, more profit, more revenue, more impact, more downloads, more influence... I'm guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty of all of that. But I have a supportive cast of people calling me forth and encouraging me. In 7 days I greet a room full of entrepreneurs in Denver for my first live experience. My team and I are buzzing with excitement as we prepare to overdeliver, surprise and delight the attendees (grab a last minute seat here) So to all those that are sending words of encouragement, it means more than you'll ever know. And to those struggling through something hard, scary, difficult, and challenging: take a minute to stop, breathe, look back and celebrate how far you've come.

Today I meet with Mike Collins from the Kick Sugar Summit and we talk about a bunch of stuff dealing with Virtual Summits. He's hosting his 4th annual "Kick Sugar Summit" and he has a TON of great guests booked. He wants to get 1,000,000 people to go through the Summit this year. To learn more, see how this all works, and/or kick sugar for good go see what he's doing at: https://kicksugarsummit.com/ This is part 1 of a 2-part series on Virtual Summits, so stay tuned and subscribe for the next episode airing soon. To secure one of the LAST seats at the event go to www.onehourfunnellive.com. If Mike and I can get this far in about 50 minutes, imagine what we could do with 3 days together.

What do you do when your funnel stops working?  Step 1: Triage! Find out if it's sick, dying, or already dead. Step 2: Pull 1 of the 9 levers discussed on this interview with NYT Bestselling Author Yuri Elkaim Step 3: Watch the free training here: https://www.onehourfunnel.com/triage Step 4: Come to the "funnel hospital" in Denver and we'll work on it together.  See you there.

I was perusing the movie reviews for the new Aladdin movie and saw one critic say, "It was fine." "Unnecessary but acceptable," said another. Ouch. We are all creators and publishers - making things for the world to consume and engage with. And we need to do better than "fine" or "acceptable". Next... we have a few seats left for my event, go to www.onehourfunnellive.com to secure your seat.

Brand new: I recently put out the call for podcast guests to see who was willing to come on my show and talk about how to market their business.

What the heck does it mean to "own" your marketing? Here's the deal - being intimately involved with the marketing of your business is the most important skill you can have in your business. Knowing HOW to generate leads and sales is critical. Ever meet someone that has no clue how their business operates or what to do next b/c it's in some agency black box? Not cool. If you're ready to learn how to "own" your marketing instead of "renting" - come hang out in Denver --> www.onehourfunnellive.com See you there!

Next up in our "How I'd Market It" series - real estate! I have a ton of realtor friends and connections (don't we all). I met Andrew Fogliato in a private FB group for marketers and advertisers. He has a company called Just Sell Homes (website) which "handles your digital marketing so you can - just sell homes." On this episode you'll learn: Why niching down is so important in who you serve How Andrew used speaking as a catalyst to grow his business How he uses FB ads to sell more homes I loved this chat with Andrew and I know you will too (whether you're in real estate or not). Then, if you want to collaborate with me on your business, just like Andrew and I are here, come join me in June at One Hour Funnel Live. (link)

Go here to check out the updated landing page: https://www.onehourfunnellive.com/home (And for those that sit through to the end there's a super special offer for you).  See you there!

"I have a stupid question but I need a serious answer." I was talking to a friend this week and he mentioned he has no idea what to do about his marketing. He said he felt dumb and wanted a place to ask stupid questions.  This super short episode talks about what to do when you feel that way... And then, come here to ask me a stupid question in person.  https://www.onehourfunnellive.com/home

Are you writing a book? Do you want to write a book? Have you written a book?  This episode is for you. Things really changed for me when I decided to write a book in the summer of 2018. This episode reveals how you can use the power of funnels to sell more copies of your book and serve more people.

Do you ever get a huge pain in your business, you find the perfect solution and then you launch and you realize that it's thousands and thousands of dollars... Bummer... The promise land is just over the hill but you have to pay $4,995 to get over the hill. Well, I don't think that's good enough. And that's why I'm releasing world-class content with world-class people in a world-class venue in June. To learn more send me an email (cody@codyburch.com) or go to www.onehourfunnellive.com.

Today we sit down with Author Mike Flynn. He has a new book called "Master the Key:  A Story to Free Your Potential, Find Meaning, and Live Life on Purpose" which you can get on Amazon here. Mike is also the host of the Impact Entrepreneur Podcast (link) And, whenever you're ready to be a founding member of the One Hour Funnel Tribe go here. 

I was shocked to hear how one of the funniest celebrities prepares for his specials. It takes him... longer than you or I are working on our content and material. So why do we expect it to work instantly? It won't.... How long do you workshop your content before deciding if it's good enough?
