If your funnel feels confusing, cluttered, or harder to manage than it should be, you’re not alone—and you’re probably not doing anything wrong. You might just have too many “bridges” and not enough clarity.
In this episode, we continue our Business Detox series by diving into what happens when your marketing funnel turns into a corn maze. We talk about how multiple lead magnets, overlapping email sequences, and constant “experiments” can quietly create chaos instead of clarity—for both you and your audience.
This episode is about building funnels that feel calm, aligned, and easy to manage—without killing your creativity or burning everything down.
In this episode, we cover:
- 02:30 When your funnel starts feeling more like a maze than a path
- 02:49 The difference between meaningful experimentation and collecting chaos
- 03:20 Why creating without validation costs more time than you think
- 03:46 How validation saves you from side quests that go nowhere
- 05:39 Why fewer lead magnets often perform better than more
- 08:07 Matching your lead magnets to real business goals (not vibes)
- 09:28 How planning creates calm—and why plans should stay flexible
- 12:42 The metrics that actually matter in your customer journey
- 16:17 Your detox homework: where to simplify, fix leaks, or remove friction
