The Big Picture with a Marketing Funnel (My Aha! Moment)
Greetings Brothers & Sisters!
I was worried about not being able to come up with the content for my next blog post. I knew that I needed to get one posted today (at the latest). That’s when I did what I did. I simply aligned my time up with God’s and now the thinking, reflecting and writing juices are just flowing. So, Watch Out! hehe!
I took a walk and meditated on the bird’s chirping this morning; have been praying diligently and exercising a lot more than I had been before. I think it is really clearing up my mind, detoxifying my body and placing me in line with the universe and my divine calling … most indefinitely with God’s purpose and calling for my life.
Ok, so I’ve been studying up hard-core on internet marketing for about a year. Now, on to the “tangible” that is sloshing around in my big ole’ head:
I’m learning so much about marketing funnels, and I wish to teach you what I’ve learned. Rest Assured, it will happen, however its going to take time. I need to get my own funnels in place (Aha!)
Do you have a marketing funnel? I’m just curious, because really, with all due honesty, I don’t think I do. The thought has been on my mind, but I’ve been too hyped up about the “front-end” marketing to even stop and think about the “back-end” marketing. I cannot believe some people call me an “awesome marketer” … I feel like I’ve left a huge piece out of the puzzle. I hope this makes at least some sense to you, that you get something out of it, take it with you and put it to action so you will not waste too much time. I don’t think I wasted anytime however, because every moment for the past year I’ve been learning something new everyday, and God has led me up to this point. The point I’m about ready to share with you.
I had an “Aha!” moment (I love those) when a website was teaching me step by step how to build a marketing funnel, FINALLY! I can’t believe I’ve went this long and even been “slightly” successful all along with out this, because this stuff is just truly amazing! The “Aha!” moment genuinely came in all reality when I saw the words, “Sketch out Funnel” on the screen. The word “SKETCH” really stood out at me because I KNOW this means to PUT SOMETHING DOWN ON PAPER!!!
In that moment, I immediately realized that all this time, I’ve been doing what “Office Organization Made Easy Lady”, Tracey Lawton has taught me NOT to do and that is Do Not Market Before You Manage, instead get the Management down FIRST and then market! Actually, “stop and THINK” before you “put the plan into ACTION” … This is so powerful and detrimental to your online success (if you’re going for the long-term).
Right now, I will most definitely vow to you (my followers) that you’ll get much more value from me from here on out. I will deliver on what I say I am going to give you. Besides it’s the character that makes the man, and I would pray that you would respect me even more for “taking the time out from business activities to actually sit down and GET MY CHARACTER STRAIGHT” … Also, GET MY BUSINESS STRAIGHT … Down on paper!
My online business buddy, Chuck Bartok has been telling me something along the same lines, “Your business plan needs to be IN WRITING” … I respected what he said upon first meeting him, but the full potential of what he said didn’t completely come clear until this “Aha!” moment “in which was aligned with God’s Timing For My Life and Prayerfully Yours” …
So, this may have been more of a revelation for me this morning, but at the same time, I thank you for allowing me to share it with you, and I hope I’ve helped you in some way as well.
Remember, “Things aren’t always what they appear to be” (Aha!)
Front End and Back End, Don’t leave either out! “Manage Before You Market” … and do not forget to sign up to receive “Think and Grow Rich” (Free Ebook) by Napoleon Hill located on this blog page over in the sidebar. IMPORTANT: It’s going to be taken down from this site very soon, for I am working on a much better offer to share will y’all.
Until next time,
God Bless Your Success,
Curt CBiz Bizelli

Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
Hey Curt, I was referred here by one of my upline coaches in my MLM business. I am new at this and my website is even still in the works. After reading the information here and looking around a bit while I have been here, you can bet I will be looking forward to the newsletters and visiting often. I am probably more grateful that you are openly Christian and you don’t mind saying so…God blesses you for that. Great job here – I need this.
Thank you Cindy. I’m happy you stopped by. It means a lot to me when I hear I’ve made an impact. God Bless your endeavors. Network Marketing can be very FUN, however it can also be very HARD! Its not all sunshine and rainbows – get rich quick. My best advice is to remain authentic and genuine; be an “open book” to learning new things and Do Not Give Up. You never know when success could have been just around the corner.
Blessings!
Great stuff Curtis…I see it as very much a dynamic interaction between figuring out a system and a plan and putting things into action. If you don’t market and start making some money…you don’t really have a business but on the other hand if you neglect the other aspects of business then it is hard to find long term success without burning yourself out. Putting these things into place takes some creative timing and that timing may be different for everyone.
I too find myself lacking a bit of back end action. I have things in place but they need to have my attention for updates and so forth. I am grateful for the reminder. Thanks for the great content!
Hey Curt,
Great post. I have been thinking about this topic lately and realized that I have a good front end marketing system but the funnel needs some work. Thanks for the tips. Need to take the action to make it happen now review my business plan that I have on paper and start to execute some more components of it.
Make it a great day!
God Bless,

Thank You Bev. Keep doing whatcha doing!
God Bless!
Having a plan is indeed an important part of the puzzle. So it is good to sit down and really think through what your marketing plan should look like, and a sales funnel should definitely be part of it. I feel you are leaving money on the table without one. Good luck with yours Curt

Well if you’ve seen success than you are blessed – especially without a plan. What I enjoyed the most about your post was the honesty of where you are at. It took me a few years to admit that myself but when I did, the world aligned and opened up even more blessings. God is good all the time my friend and as you know this journey never ends. Glad to be here on it with you Curt.

Whatsup Paul? Thanks for adding even more value to the post as usual. I appreciate all of your comments. I should be syndicating more tomorrow and this coming up week
I really get under people’s skin when I constantly HARP about the PLAN…
Not hard or time Consuming. Each Project should have simple mission statement and simple steps for accomplishment and a reasonable Cash Flow budget.
All of these exercises fit into the master plan.
I spend very little time on the Big Picture, just concentrate on the daily bite of eating that Elephant.
Thanks Curt.. a very good Post!

Hey Chuck, (look who it is!!!) hehe! Sorry I wasn’t “dead on” about how you look at things. The big picture applies to how things are falling together in my life according to God’s plan, nevertheless it was partially due to your advice about “putting things in writing” that I believe led to where I was yesterday: Putting Things in Writing!
Thanks Chuck and God Bless Brother! I look forward to life long friendship with you.
