194: Traditional Sales Funnels Are Dead (Here's What's Next)

Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs

What if you could:
- Reduce your marketing hours by 50%
- Double your customer referrals
- Make sales feel natural and easy
This isn't wishful thinking – it's exactly what happened when I switched from traditional funnels to what I call a Growth Flywheel.
In this week's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I've never shared before: my Growth Flywheel framework.
It's the exact system I'm using to build HobbyScool toward a million-dollar exit, and it's completely different from traditional sales funnels.

Why should you care? Because if you're tired of:

• The constant push-energy of traditional marketing
• Fighting for every single sale
• Feeling like you're starting from zero every single month

...then this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.

I break down:
✨ Why traditional sales funnels are fundamentally flawed (and burning you out)
✨ The 5 stages of a Growth Flywheel that makes marketing feel effortless
✨ How to turn happy customers into your natural marketing engine
✨ My exact process for building momentum (starting small!)
Listen in to do things differently in 2025!
