The overwhelm around funnels and launching is not a you problem.

This is probably one of the most important lessons I can hand a new Funnel Gorgeous customer. If you're overwhelmed, it's not you. It's not a lack of intelligence or organization.

It's legitimately overwhelming.

Over the years we've tried so hard to reduce that overwhelm (sometimes getting it right and other times not), but what I've come to conclude is that some overwhelm is unavoidable when you're embarking on something as complex as launching an online business.

If we start there - with the normalization of overwhelm, and remove the shame or frustration that somehow something is wrong with you, then it's easier to move forward.

Launching is basically doing three things at once:

1. Designing an offer
2. Building a funnel
3. Growing an audience

Each one of those things have multiple steps inside of it. It involves psychology, writing, tech, design, visibility, etc.

When you complete something successfully, no matter how small, please celebrate. Only a small fraction of the population will ever be able to do this type of work, and you're doing it.

Because we've onboarded over 700 new customers this past month, I wanted to give you some step by step resources if you're stuck in that paralyzed overwhelmed state right now.

First, if you want to learn HOW the software works... if you're the kind of person that needs to see the 30,000 foot view, use the funnel beginners class that I used to teach my daughters the tool in a week.

Second, if you're stuck on WHAT to sell, Offer Brand is your friend. This has nothing to do with tech, but it will help you clarify what you're selling and to whom.

Third, if you need a HUMAN being's help, please bookmark this link: Fgfunnels.com/help. It has the Zoom link for office hours, our email address, and our helpdesk chat. We're online 7am-7pm ET Monday thru Friday.

Fourth, if you want to focus on audience building, the cool comment automations that you can do in your account (instead of Manychat) when you're making reels, please login to the Audience Builder Challenge when you login to the app. It's on the menu bar on the side!

Fifth, if you want to connect Claude to FG Funnels so it can see what's going on in your account, you can do so here (please note - this is a READ only connection).

Sixth, if you're stuck in migration hell and aren't sure what to move, where or why, please read our migration philosophy doc. It'll help orient you in how to think about it!

I'll end with this. I'll never forget the first month we moved into FG Funnels. It was hell. Cathy and I were lost, overwhelmed, everything was slower. We just kept saying - it'll get easier, it'll get easier.

And it did. And now I cannot imagine not having this tool every single day of my business life.

Reach out if you need help!
