Funnels are just links

Funnels don’t have to live on one site.

The Internet itself is just a giant network of links.

A funnel is the same thing.

A series of pages connected together.

Those pages don’t have to live on the same platform.

Most autoresponders can host basic pages.

A landing page.
A sales page.
A delivery page.

Some pages might even be affiliate links to someone else’s offer.

Do you need hosting?

Not necessarily.

A domain name is useful though.

Albert Einstein said:

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

A funnel can be just two pages connected by a link.

Start simple.

You can always add complexity later.

“Consistent mediocrity gets you further than rare flashes of genius.”

I have no idea who said that, but it’s true.

Look at YouTube channels, TikTok accounts, or influencers on any platform that are making money.

Most of them are not geniuses.

But they are there posting something every day.

Go back and look at their early content.

Today those posts might have thousands of views.

But I bet they didn’t when they first went up.

Even consistent mediocrity improves with repetition.

The more you do something, the better you get.

And eventually people start paying attention.

People are more interested in someone who is genuine than someone pretending to be an expert.

Your opinion counts.

Your experience counts.

And because you are unique, your perspective is unique too.

That’s what attracts people.

You have to be you.

Everyone else is already taken.

Just start sharing what you know, what you think, and what you are trying to do.

Regards,
Brent

P.S. Here is a place where people are doing exactly that, sharing what they know, what they think, and what they are building.

I had a sales trainer once who said he could beat any other salesperson.

He explained it like this.

If you see 100 people a week and make 2 sales, he’ll see 200 people a week and make 4.

It wasn’t arrogance.

It was arithmetic.

Sales is a numbers game.

The more people exposed to your offer, the more sales you’ll make.

That’s true offline and online.

So the real question becomes:

How do you get more people to see your sales message?

You can buy traffic, if you have the budget.

You can comment on blogs, if they allow it.

You can build a social media following, though platforms decide who actually sees your posts.

You can publish content wherever you can, but that takes time.

And no matter how hard you work, you’re still limited to 24 hours a day.

Unless you change the way you work.

Fortunately, AI tools are making that possible.

If you want to understand how these systems work, one company has made their training public.

All of Anthropic’s training resources are available here:

anthropic.skilljar.com/

Most of the concepts overlap with other AI tools as well.

You weren’t born with any habits.

Every habit you have today was learned.

The good ones.
And the bad ones.

Now that you’ve written down your daily behaviours, you can see which habits are holding you back.

Look at what triggers them.

Then change the trigger or change the behaviour.

Remove anything that isn’t helping.

No, not your spouse or partner… but almost anything else.

That might include booze, junk snacks, the coffee machine, or subscriptions you don’t really need.

When you think about it, you already know what’s not helping.

Once the decks are cleared, fill that space with something better.

Be persistent.

Good habits take time to take hold.

But once they do, they make reaching your goals much easier.

Behaviours compound.

1% better each day becomes 37x better in a year.

Brent.

Are your daily behaviours secretly blocking you?

Brent Milne

READ IN APP

For most of us, the answer is yes.

The scary part? We’re usually completely unaware of what’s actually holding us back.

The fastest way to find out is brutally simple:

Log everything you do in 5-minute increments for one day.

No long essays. Just 1–2 words per line.

Examples:

watch news
scroll YT
write email
make coffee
stare at phone

When I did this the first time, I was genuinely shocked.

Out of a 2-hour block, only one activity was actually moving me toward my goals. Everything else was noise.

I’m still a little scared to do it again… because I already know how bad it might look.

But here’s the truth:

You can’t fix what you don’t measure.

Just the act of writing the log forces you to become conscious. Nobody wants to write “watch YT” for the 8th time in a row.

Some tasks will take longer than 5 minutes — that’s fine. Just log them when you finish and note roughly how long they took.

This single habit is one of the most powerful things you can do to build a systematic approach to reaching your goals.

Give it a try tomorrow. You don’t have to show anyone the results.

You’ll thank yourself later.

Regards,
Brent

P.S. This is one of those exercises where the discomfort is the whole point. The moment you feel resistance… that’s exactly when you know it’s working.

Structure beats tactics.

Structure beats tactics.

Almost everything sold online is a tactic.

New funnel.
New traffic hack.
New AI shortcut.
New “secret.”

Tactics without structure fail.

Structure makes tactics optional.

Most marketers (me included) make the same mistakes:

Chase multiple offers at once.
Rely on motivation instead of systems.
Confuse activity with measurable progress.

That’s movement.

Not progress.

Structure is simple:

One painful problem.
One clear offer.
One primary traffic source.
Automated follow-up.

That’s it.

If you can’t describe the problem in one sentence, you’re not niched down enough.

Repetition builds competence.
Consistency builds data.
Data builds clarity.
Clarity builds income.

It starts with the problem.

Brent

P.S. There’s a short framework here that walks through building this kind of structure:

Weird subject line.

Have you ever tried to catch a puppy?

Unless you can outrun it, it’s surprisingly difficult.

For a puppy, “catch me if you can” is a game.

The harder you chase, the faster it runs.

But if you turn and walk away…

It follows.

Let it catch up and you can pick it up easily.

Success is similar.

The harder you chase it, the more it seems to move.

Jim Rohn said:

“If you want to have more, you have to become more. Success is not something you pursue. What you pursue will elude you; it can be like trying to chase butterflies. Success is something you attract by the person you become.”

That line changed how I think about business.

Stop chasing.

Start building.

Start becoming.

Brent

In Tambo, Northern Queensland, they run an unusual event every year.

www.chickenracing.com.au/

Yes, really.

There’s an auction first.
Whoever bids highest owns the chicken for the race.
If it wins, they get half the prize pool.

The rules are simple.

A remote-controlled car drives three laps.
There’s food attached to it.
The chickens follow.

First one across the finish line, in the right direction, wins.

One night, the winning chicken wasn’t even moving.
It was standing near the finish line when another chicken ran into it and knocked it over the line.

It won by accident.

Most chickens don’t finish at all.

They stop.
They wander.
They lose interest.

People do the same with goals.

New Year’s resolutions are usually forgotten by February.

Why?

Because most goals are “nice to have.”

Not “must have.”

And if it isn’t written down, it isn’t a goal.

It’s a wish.

Brent.

What powers your life?

Many coaches say you need motivation to succeed.

That’s true.

But motivation usually points in one of two directions:

Toward something you want.
Or away from something you want to escape.

Neither is wrong.

The stronger the pull, the stronger the action.

That’s your “why.”

When your why is clear and strong, obstacles shrink.

When it’s weak, everything feels like an obstacle.

If you don’t know why you’re doing something, even small resistance will stop you.

So here’s a simple exercise:

Start with your goal.

Then ask yourself why you want it.

Answer honestly.

Then ask why again.

Keep going until there’s nothing deeper left.

That’s the engine.

And it doesn’t need to impress anyone else.

It just needs to move you.

Regards,
Brent.

P.S. There’s a great little comic here https://sites.google.com/view/successissimple/home about the difference between motivation and persistence.

It’s the why that gives you the persistence.
