The 10-minute exercise that instantly makes your funnel make sense.
Whenever I start working with a client, I don't dive straight into Kajabi or start fixing automations.
In fact, I don't even open their tech.
Instead, I grab a pen and a piece of paper.
Because before you can build a funnel that converts, you need to understand the journey you're actually trying to create.
So many business owners start with the tech. They build a landing page, write a few emails, connect a checkout, and hope it all works together. But when you build your funnel like that, it's really easy to end up with disconnected pieces that don't lead anywhere.
Instead, spend 10 minutes mapping it out.
Start with one simple question: How does someone first find you?
From there, write down every step they take. Bonus points if you include how they are feeling at each touchpoint.
ππ» What do they opt into?
ππ» What happens immediately after they download it?
ππ» What's the next action you want them to take?
ππ» If they book a call, what happens next?
ππ» If they don't book, where do they go?
ππ» If they click your emails but aren't ready to buy, how are you nurturing them?
ππ» If they ignore everything, do they just... disappear?
Don't think about the tech. Just think about the person who is on this journey: what are they thinking, how are they making decisions, what are their blocks, and so on.
The biggest breakthroughs I see in client projects rarely come from changing the software but from spotting the gaps in the customer journey before we build anything.
Once you can see the journey on paper, the tech becomes so much easier because every email, automation, and tag has a purpose.
Your funnel stops feeling like a collection of random pages and starts feeling like an intentional experience.
So before you spend another afternoon tweaking a landing page or rebuilding an email sequence, spend 10 minutes mapping the journey instead.
I promise it'll save you hours later.
