All right, welcome to today's episode of the Art of Online Business Podcast, my friend.

This is another Ask Rick episode on this quick tip Friday.

And as many of you know, I have a four-year-old daughter, Maya.

And one of the things that Amy and my wife and I are trying to teach her is, you know, problem solving.

And so she'll ask for help with something.

And we're really encouraging and try to figure it out for herself.

And one of the things that we encourage or ask her is, do you have all of the necessary information or, you know, in, in her case, a lot of times

she's asking in terms of like, you know, whatever she's playing with. I'm like, well, do you

have all the pieces or do you have everything that you need in order to be able to answer that

question? And a question I get all the time, whether just in general, but especially

from, you know, the members of my coaching program, my accelerator coaching program is how do I

verify if something is working? In this particular instance, I was asked recently, how do I verify

if my evergreen funnel is working?

And because this is such a common question, I wanted to do an episode on this and share

how I go about how my brain thinks about answering this question.

Because, you know, just like with my daughter is like, if you don't have all the pieces of information, it makes it that

much harder to be able to answer the question. If we have incomplete information, then there's

going to be gaps in trying to answer whatever it is that we're trying to answer. And so when

you're trying to verify whether your funnel is working or not,

one of the overwhelming things can be that you're trying to look at the entire funnel all at once, right? So just like if, if Maya is looking at, I don't know, her Peppa Pig house and she's

trying to figure out why something isn't working, well, she might be looking at the entire house to try to figure that out

rather than the one specific piece that she's having an issue with.
