In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, we’re diving into a critical yet often overlooked aspect of business success… leadership and vision. If you want to scale your company, attract top talent, and build a movement that fuels your marketing and sales, mastering visionary leadership is non-negotiable. Your role as an entrepreneur isn’t just to sell products, it’s to create a vision that customers, employees, and partners want to be part of. But how do you capture that vision in the first place? And once you have it, how do you cast it in a way that builds momentum, increases conversions, and positions your brand as a market leader? Key Highlights: Why a clear vision is your most powerful sales and marketing tool How to step up as a leader and set standards that attract loyal customers and team members The three mandates of leadership that will make people want to follow you Why energy and positioning are critical for increasing conversions and engagement The biggest mistake leaders make when communicating their vision - and how to avoid it Why unreasonable people change the world, and how to leverage that mindset to scale your business Most entrepreneurs make the mistake of waiting until their vision is “perfect” before taking action. But vision isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you develop through movement and execution. Whether you’re leading a business, a marketing campaign, or a community, this episode will help you build a vision that drives sales, increases engagement, and creates long-term impact. https://sellingonline.com/podcast https://clickfunnels.com/podcast Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Chapter 1: How can you capture and share a vision in leadership?
This is the Russell Brunson Show. What's up everybody? This is Russell. Welcome back to the show. Excited to be hanging out with you guys today. And today I want to talk about a topic I haven't talked a lot about with you guys, which is leadership. And more so than leadership, actually a very specific part of leadership, which is how do you first off, how do you capture a vision, right?
And then number two, after you've captured that vision, how do you actually share that vision with other people? to get people to want to follow you, both customers, but also employees and partners and team members. How do you cast a vision away that gets people to want to come to you? And this is actually a really interesting question. I got it from one of my friends.
It was after Funnel Hacking Live. Obviously, if you've been following the ClickFunnels movement for the last decade, we built a huge business and a brand, and every single year we do this big event, and this was the last one, Funnel Hacking Live 10. And it was a little after I got off stage, I got a message from my buddy, and he asked me, I said, you know, how do you do that?
He said, I wanna do that in my business, like, our company's growing, things are good, but like, I really, I wanna figure out how to cast, like, first off, how to capture that vision, right? Like, what is the vision? How do I find what the vision is for my business? And number two is, after I have that, how do I get the right people?
That's what I'm gonna talk about today, because as you know, without a vision, the people perish. And our job as visionary entrepreneurs is to cast that vision. When you cast that vision, your people will come to you. You probably heard me talk about this before, but a lot of people are scared, like, I don't wanna put myself out there, my vision out there, because people are gonna make fun of me.
And the reality is like, I promise you, people make fun of me more than probably anybody, right? We spent, just on one event last week, we spent a million dollars in ads. My face was everywhere on the whole internet. And guess what? A lot of people don't like seeing my face everywhere all over the internet.
And there's like all sorts of people talking trash in the comments and things like that, right? Like, when you put yourself out there, there's gonna be people who do not like you. And they're gonna be vocal about it. But your job is not to... to speak to everybody, right? Your job is to talk to the people you've been called to serve, right?
And so when you put your vision out there, there'll be people who'll be offended, who'll be annoyed, people who don't care, but when you do it correctly, your people will hear you, right? And they're gonna come to you and you're gonna have a chance to serve them and change their life, okay? We are visionary entrepreneurs, we are the dreamers. One of my favorite quotes is from T.E.
Lawrence, he says, I love that quote. It's like a rallying call. We had that on the back of the t-shirts one year at Funnel Hacking Live because I love it so much. It's kind of funny. I... have an aura ring. So I sleep every single night. It is funny. My wife and I was teased because my wife, she sleeps so good every night, her REM and her deep sleep's like at 25, 30%.

Chapter 2: Why is having a vision essential for entrepreneurs?
Number two, see it better than it is. And number three, make it the way you see it. That's what leadership, that's what vision, that's what all those things are. So that's the first thing I want to kind of caveat this entire, this show is just like leadership because I don't ever talk about it, but those are the, and again, there's been books written. I've got a book right here from,
John C. Maxwell about leadership, right? You know, like there's been millions of books written on it. So like, this is not a, you know, all things, but these are the things that for me that I feel are the most important. So things that have had the biggest impact, a lot of things weren't things I was thinking about it. I just did it. And then I see the, like what happens on the other side?
I'm like, oh, wow. And I see like other people's teams and other companies. It's like that's why those people aren't having success, right? Because the leader is not leading. And when the leader is willing to lead, that's when everything changes. And if you've been a leader in the past and you've forgotten yourself, that's a big step too. Like come back and like remember who you are.
At Funnel Hacking Live this year, I did a presentation at the very end. It was called One Funnel Away Evolution. It was like part two of my One Funnel Away pitch from 2008. I did a presentation in 2017 talking about One Funnel Away, and this was part two. And in there, I talked about how over the last couple years, how I forgot who I was.
It happens to all of us, all leaders, they forget who you are. And I was lucky enough to have somebody who is a leader who had set aside high standards, Andy Elliott. I went out to his office, and at the presentation, I talked about how Andy helped me to remember who I was. After I remember like, oh yeah, I'm Russell Brunson. I'm gonna step back in this calling.
It's been crazy ever since then, this shift I've seen in myself. And you've probably seen it, you've probably felt it. You've been following me for a long time, right? And so, yeah, leadership is such an important part of the game, okay? All right, so number one is you being the leader. Step number two, okay, I got three steps here. So step number two is how do you then capture the vision?
Uh, and my friend that Vox me, he asked, he's like, he's like, are you just sitting around like thinking about things or like, like, how do you, how do you, how do you find that? And so, um, it's such a good question and it's, it's a hard one to answer. I got, it took me a while to think through. It's like, how do I, like, how do I see the visions I see? Like, what does that look like?
Um, the first one, the first note that I have here is like the, the, I think there's like, who is it inspires me? I need the inspiration. Like you don't just come up with a vision just like out of thin air, right? It's like you're looking at inspiration in a lot of different places. I go to my buddies, um, Dan Usher on my team who does a lot of our film stuff and
Um, he, he spends, I don't know, half is, I'm probably exaggerating, but he spends so much of his time actually watching films and studying inspiration, getting ideas from other people to, and then from there's where his creativity, his vision comes, right?
