Dear Funnel Hackers, I want to introduce myself to all of our readers, I am Tricia Wilkes, I will be taking over as Editor of Funnel Magazine. I am so excited to embrace this new journey and hope to continue pushing the envelope on the articles we will deliver to our loyal readers. Thank you so much for choosing to read Funnel Magazine we have a hardcore edition for you this month! I am so excited to bring you The Hardcore Closer Ryan Stewman as the feature article for my first month as your editor. “Look For The Struggle and Focus On The Win.” In this interview, Ryan Stewman references the Law of Attraction and the mind being the most powerful tool on the planet in his own unique way. The Law of Attraction has been taught by many different authors, coaches, and speakers over the years. My husband and I prefer to listen to the audiobook set by Esther and Jerry Hicks as well as the set by Michael J. Losier on long road trips. Each and every time we listen, I always pull something new from it. Every time I listen I am always at a different place in my life as well as at a different place in my life journey. We are always pausing the audio to discuss what that particular passage meant to each of us. I will never forget certain road trips because of The Law of Attraction passages that inspired focus and change in our lives. There are so many versions of the Law of Attraction each author has their spin on the mindset. However, Ryan Stewman took the Law of Attraction mindset one step further with the Force of Average algorithm. He goes deep in this interview with the Force of Average and how the world is set up to keep you average, but If you keep focused and change struggles into opportunities you will achieve great things and past the limitations the world set on you over and over again and break through the obstacles the world sets in your path. Ryan like many of us has had many obstacles and challenges to overcome, and through each one he grew more empowered, stronger, and reached a new level of competency. A few things that I would like you to remember. Keep an eye out for those daily struggles, look for a way to reverse that struggle and gain an opportunity! Continue using your biggest asset, your mind and protect your focus. Stay focused on your long journey of Success. Don’t forget to listen to the Law of Attraction on long road trips because it may give you that change in perspective that you didn’t know that you needed. At the very least it will provide you with a sense of possibility, gratitude, and help you come from a place where you are looking for opportunities in your challenges instead of focusing solely on the challenge itself.

Local Live Community in 15 Minutes: The Power of Face-to-Face Contacts ARTICLE BY: Julia Antufjew
Meeting people face-to-face is the strongest and the fastest way of building long-lasting relationships and strong partnerships. We can email or chat with someone for ages – still, one face-to-face meeting changes worlds. According to research by Mahdi Roghanizad and Vanessa K. Bohns published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology face-to-face contacts are reported to be 34 times more successful than email.
Six months after my arrival I’ve built up a large network of like-minded people who in their turn helped me with the challenging task of opening a company in a foreign country, without speaking the language (at that time), in an industry, I was not familiar with. How did I create this network of people? The answer is simple – Live Networking Events.
All key people in my network, even my partner – I have When I came to Shanghai in 2005 as a Business met in a Live Networking Event. Analyst for a large multinational, I did not know a single person in the Orient. Live events are hot in a large city like Shanghai. Through the years I’ve always been a participant, until one day Nevertheless two years later I was setting up my it hit me – why not organize my own? own companies in Shanghai and Hong Kong, hiring my own employees and manufacturing high-quality First I thought the organization of a live event would designer garments for emerging fashion designers and be quite complicated. Not until my partner started fashion entrepreneurs. popping out his Linux live events one after another. His live event management went very smooth.
