Welcome back to User Spotlight at ClickFunnels! Get ready to be thrilled as we introduce our extraordinary guest for this episode. Meet the incredible Carl Parnell, whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Carl’s life story has taken him from being a globe-trotting rockstar, sharing the stage with bands like Metallica for nearly two decades, to holding key positions at Microsoft and various marketing agencies. Over the past ten years, he has diligently honed his expertise in crafting courses and mastering the art of sales.
Along the way, Carl has achieved remarkable milestones, including not one, but two, 2CC awards, and he’s now well on his way to securing the 2CCX award. What sets Carl apart is not just his own success but his dedication to helping others. He has guided over 900 clients on their journey to turn their knowledge into online courses.
“I do need to remind myself how far I’ve come. Like, it’s easy to take for granted, that all-important award. I mean, there is often a clear path that people can take, but it does take a lot of hard work, and a lot of consistency. This is all I’ve done for the last few years now”.
Looking back, Carl admits his journey has been pretty odd, but now it all makes sense. Back in his rockstar days, marketing was the last thing on his mind. After rock ‘n’ rolling for years, he decided to go for something different. So, he stumbled upon affiliate marketing and entrepreneurship, even though he didn’t have previous experience or education. Carl’s transformation highlights how his path, though originally surprising, has ultimately led to his current expertise. His progression, transitioning from a rockstar to a marketing guru, underscores his ability to adapt and his unwavering determination to explore new interests and excel in them.
His best piece of advice?
‘’A couple of things, one would be, don’t lose sight of the big picture of why you’re doing it.[…] obviously making money, it’s fine and it’s nice and it relieves a lot of pressure that people have for bills and work and all that kind of stuff. But there’s always a bigger goal like you can always make more money, that’s fine. But having a big end goal in your personal life is paramount. So make a list of all the people that he’d love to support and help, look for the big picture stuff, and think if you’d like to move somewhere around that”.
We thoroughly enjoyed having Carl join us; he’s a down-to-earth, smart, and truly motivating individual! You won’t want to miss this episode.
