Hi reader,

How many things are addressed to you that actually have nothing to do with you?

The older I get, the more I see that percentage increasing.

Maybe because, as you get more self awareness, you’re more aware when you’re the one screwing up.

Maybe because, as one elder told me, you increasingly have to look underneath the couch cushions, in the pockets of your winter jackets, and other forgotten places to find any fucks to give.

Maybe because, as I’ve realized, it doesn’t help to react to someone’s perception of you, as it is often through their own hall of mirrors 🪞

Struggling to Launch Your Business Online? Discover the Key to Success- Sales Funnels!

Feeling completely overwhelmed by the thought of launching your business online?

Are you unsure of where to even begin?

Sure, you may have already purchased a course or two to get you started- but they didn’t provide the exact guidance you needed.

Here’s the deal- the quickest, easiest, and most profitable way to launch your business online is by using a sales funnel.

A sales funnel is a step-by-step process that guides your potential customers through a journey online – ensuring you capture and convert more leads.

And, it just so happens that we have a groundbreaking approach to building and launching a successful online funnel for your unique business - The One Funnel Away Challenge!

The One Funnel Away Challenge provides you with comprehensive, step-by-step training and expert guidance to build, launch, and optimize your online sales funnel, ensuring your business's success from the ground up.

The Challenge actually has two distinct tracks. You can choose to learn from Russell Brunson, co-founder of ClickFunnels and New York Times Best Selling Author, who will teach you how to profit by becoming an influencer or creator. He’s an expert at helping you find your voice, share your message, and earn a great living WHILE making a difference in the world!

Or maybe you’d rather just quietly sell things and profit. If that’s the case, simply choose the eComm track! Trey Lewellen, a top online seller who has made millions of dollars selling stuff online and dropshipping, will guide you through finding or creating a product, launching it, and scaling it for success.

This is an exclusive offer for Damon Brown's Bring Your Worth Subscribers: Gain access to both tracks in the One Funnel Away challenge AND enjoy the first 90 days of ClickFunnels included.

….but wait… there’s more….

👉 With LIVE weekly coaching calls with Russell Brunson and Trey Lewellen you’ll never need to be stuck and wondering what to do next.

👉 With FREE access to the 'Fill Your Funnel' Challenge, you'll also learn how to get all the leads and buyers you need to your funnel!

All of this for only $100!

Not making everything about us gives so much power back.

And so many people I’ve connected with recently feel less powerful, if not powerless.

The problem? Perhaps we’re taking on what isn’t actually our business.

To paraphrase Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hasselman’s The Daily Stoic, society today requires us to have an opinion, a stance, a well-informed take on everything little thing we come across - but we have the right to not have an impassioned view on ephemeral pop culture, inconsequential barbs, and other nonsense that we don’t value right now.

It doesn’t mean turning your back on a loved one or not supporting humanitarian ideas that feel right to you.

It means not putting up a tent when someone else’s circus comes to town 🎪

Emotional intelligence pioneer Brene Brown has brought guilt, shame, and other tough emotions to the forefront. On an encore BringYourWorth.tv, I break down some of her best frameworks, from comparative suffering to gold-plated grit, distill Dr. Brown’s insights into actionable steps, and share how you can up your EQ right now 👇🏾

As you’ve seen in recent BringYourWorth.tv episodes, my office has been stacked with books lately! Shortform is one of my favorite companions for understanding books quickly and remembering the highlights from classics I may have forgotten. The service goes well beyond summaries, giving serious breakdowns, analysis, arguments, and even overarching themes connecting a book to other pieces of literature. It also showcases material related to your favorite book, like popular podcasts, articles and more. Shortform is a great way to sample new books you’re curious about or to go deeper on ones you already know super well.
