What a great cover on the November / December 2025 edition of SUCCESS Magazine and such a happy surprise to see WHO it is…

Our friend, Russell Brunson!!

He’s such a terrific mentor in marketing, now forging a pioneering path with a brand new collaborative commerce platform as well. Not only that… believe it or not, Russell Brunson has a publishing company AND is building a state of the art library / museum / event centre in Boise, Idaho!

Yes, this man has discovered the way to juggle quite a lot of things, not least through his other great passion, the Secrets Of Success company!!

Russell has already been instrumental in helping so many to achieve so much, as CoFounder of ClickFunnels and more recently creating OfferLab with his amazing team!

I feel so incredibly blessed to be in his sphere and to have somehow found myself hosting his 1357 CLUB since July, a surprise that came right out of left field! This happened at a time of great sadness for our family, as my mother was so ill then… I used the hosting sessions as a peg in the ground to keep me anchored and focused forward in the waves…

I want to thank you, Russell, for modelling commitment, authenticity and grace in the toughest moments, in the times when life beat you down.

During Funnel Hacking Live in Las Vegas in February 2025, sitting so close to the stage that I could see your tears, as you shared with us how hard the last few years have been, my heart overflowed as well. I cried my eyes out.

It’s not in the ease of life that leaders are born. It is in the pain, the grinding, searing ache of tiredness, determined effort to just keep going, one moment at a time, when persistence is the perspiration of utter will, the WHY so strong that giving up just cannot be an option, when the bursting of seeds happens and newness is born. True Leaders of Empowerment are birthed in the chiselling, when the pressure turns coal to pure diamond, the heat turns dross to gold. The refiner’s fire hurts. In the process the hero emerges… smelling of smoke… exhausted, yet somehow smiling. The victory is sweet. Real.

Authenticity has the chime of the finest crystal. The path is forged. The excuses non existent.

This Is Success.

PS. I posted about this on my LinkedIn profile and the lady who interviewed Russell Brunson for the Legacy issue of Success Magazine, Kerrie Lee Brown, wrote in the comments:

“Yes! He is one of the best and we are so honored to feature him on our cover.”
