Why your failed funnels are a win

By Mike Killen | Oct 3, 2024

I’ve had more failed funnels than successful ones, and here’s the truth: that’s exactly how it should be. For every 10 funnels that fall flat, I’ll have one that delivers exponentially better results. But what’s a failure, really? For me, a failed funnel is one that doesn’t make the money I expected it to. Nine…

Building an email list? Stop making this common mistake

The biggest mistake I see when people try to build an email list is creating loads of lead magnets. It just doesn’t work. In my experience, 80% of my leads come from just 20% of my lead magnets. We’ve had one lead magnet alone bring in around 5,000 leads. And while my books are now…

When someone asks me, “How can I find more clients?” My first question is always the same: What type of clients do you want? It’s like going to a travel agent—remember those?—and saying, “I want to go on holiday,” but when they ask where, you just shrug. How can they plan anything if you don’t…

Next week is our anniversary, and I’ll be taking even more time off to escape to a hidden spot in Cornwall. For me, work-life balance is key—especially while building funnels and running a business.
