A-Players are those people who do everything a notch or two above everyone else. And while that may not sound like such a big deal it makes a world of difference when it comes to productivity, morale, and team dynamics. Get more than one A-player on your team and the results become exponential. Russell Brunson says if was starting all over, building a business from scratch, the first thing he’d do is refine his mission and product idea, then he’d go find A-players to help him make it happen. He goes into an amazing amount of detail on what he’d do in this episode, so be sure you listen.
One of the things you’ll notice about Russell Brunson is that his success seems exponential. And it is for a very simple reason: He finds and hires the very best people to be part of his team. They are the A-players, the ones who are self-motivated, incredibly good at what they do, and who buy the vision of his companies and get behind it full force. Russell says any company that is struggling is probably not building a team to begin with, and those who have are probably not finding the best players for the team. Russell knows what he’s talking about from mistakes he’s made along this line in the past. Find out how he remedied his problem and found A-players, on this episode.
It’s easy to find people to do the work you need done in your company. But it’s extremely difficult to find the RIGHT people, with the RIGHT skills and attitude and drive, to do the RIGHT jobs that will move you forward. Russell Brunson says it’s absolutely vital for massive success to find the A-players who will move your company forward. They free you up to do what you do best and amplifies everything your company does. Find out how he goes about doing that on this episode.
When Ryan described the typical FFL listener - a physical products brand owner who’s approaching or has reached $1M in sales - he asked what advice Russell would give those people about how to reach their next level of success. Russell said it’s not difficult. The same things that enable one company to go from $1M to $10M are the things other companies have to do as well. It has to do with delegation to the right team members, systems and processes, and getting out of your own way as an entrepreneur. You can hear all of Russell’s advice for owners of physical products brands in this conversation.
When your business is doing well you can get complacent, feeling you can afford to sit back and watch your profits come in. But you may find that it’s not very fulfilling to do that. You’re an entrepreneur, you’ve got to be creating, growing, and building something of value. What would it mean for your business if you decided to double-down on your effort until the end of the year? What if you invested in yourself and your company by getting the help and insight you need to make greater success happen? The Capitalism Conference is coming up and it’s an event that will undoubtedly be the biggest thing to happen to your business - ever. Find out more on this episode.
FOR GETTING STARTED: Find your face, mission, and message to firmly establish your brand.
FOR GREATER SUCCESS: Infuse personality into your brand, even if it’s a physical products brand. People buy more from people than they do from brands.

0:08.0 | This is the show about building businesses and investing the profits so that you can live |
0:13.7 | life on your terms. |
0:16.4 | And now your host, the future owner of the Cleveland Indians, Ryan Daniel Moran. |
0:22.1 | Hey, Fastlaners, welcome to the show. |
0:24.9 | This is Ryan Daniel Moran. |
0:26.7 | And today, I'm excited to invite you into the Fastlane because we're going to be hanging out with Russell Brunson. |
0:32.6 | And Russell had a profound impact on me through his books. |
0:36.4 | And also, we use his software click funnels to |

0:46.1 | Russell kind of built a name for himself being one of the experts behind building profitable |
0:52.5 | funnels, sales funnels. And I didn't know a lot of people |
0:57.2 | talking about creating sales funnels for physical products. So I asked Russell to come on to talk |
1:02.2 | a little bit about what he does and how it might apply for physical product owners. Does it still |
1:08.5 | make sense to build a funnel if you're selling physical products |
1:11.6 | or if you're on Amazon? What if you don't have a face of your brand? Does it still make sense to be |
1:16.4 | doing a lot of the stuff that he talks about? I also ask Russell to talk about getting to 10 million |
1:22.2 | and beyond, getting to $100 million because in the last last few years Russell made a big jump of being |
1:28.9 | a one to three million kind of guy to having a hundred forty or 150 million dollar a year |
1:35.7 | company and it was a complete left turn. It was a business that he did not see coming out of what |
1:42.7 | he was doing. So he talks about the ups and the downs and he talks about |
1:47.1 | how he attracts the A players that really grow you from that one or 10 point up to $100 million. |
