Automations and complex funnels can be cool but they can also be a huge time suck and provide ZERO value (a.k.a 💰) to your business. They can also keep you from building something of value or even launching anything at all. The best automations and funnels come from doing all the steps manually, and only automating them once they are proven and profitable. Everyone wants to skip the steps that actually provide you all the customer insights and knowledge you need to build that fancy funnel. A good example: I launched KEDB on a Notion page, with a Loom video and a payment link to Stripe. There was no automation at all. Part of me hated that (the engineer in me), but I probably generated well over $75K just on that notion page. Instead of giving into the urge to do everything in some funnel software, and automating things that weren't yet proven—I spent most of my time getting that Notion page in front of people, 1 person at a time. Answering their questions, helping them make the choice to buy it. The hardest part was staying focused on getting people to see it and NOT automating anything or trying to build out a typical funnel that everyone shows you. Hope that helps.

Hey Guys! Thanks so much for being part of the group. It feels like a nice vibe is developing between everyone which is awesome to see! People are asking questions, getting help, supporting others, super cool! We've also brought on a new moderator @Rob Ruscher helping with video, he'll be making some posts and running a couple workshops soon. (btw I'm looking for more people that would like to contribute as a moderator and be an expert for the group. Best way to start is just to be present here and getting to know everyone) Community building is certainly never something I thought I could do. Frankly I never thought I'd ever get on video either. I thrive alone building things 😁 so this has been a fun learning experience me. Drop a comment below if you have any feedback for me or the community as a whole so we can keep the party going strong!!
