What does it mean to be 'in the right room' in business?

Being in the right room means surrounding yourself with people further along than you, not people at or below your current level. It's a concept popularized by Russell Brunson at events like Offer Secrets, and it applies to masterminds, communities, and any group you're part of.

How do I know if I'm in the wrong mastermind or community?

If you're consistently the most experienced or knowledgeable person on the calls, the group has likely stopped teaching you anything new. A sign you're in the right room is the opposite: you regularly hear questions or ideas you wouldn't have thought of yourself.

Why does being around more experienced people help you grow faster?

Exposure to how more experienced people think and what they ask is different from consuming information alone. It surfaces blind spots and generates ideas you wouldn't otherwise encounter, which is harder to replicate working solo or in a group that stays at a basic level.

What is a funnel-building mastermind?

A funnel-building mastermind is a recurring group of funnel builders and agency owners who meet on a schedule to work through problems, share strategy, and hold each other accountable. James Curran runs one that meets weekly.

The Sharpest Person in the Room Is in the Wrong Room

Russell did something interesting at the Offer Secrets event.

The room was full of people at every stage.. brand new, six and seven-figures, everyone in between.

His whole pitch at the end was to make sure you're in the right room.

What's the right room then?

It's not the one where you're on top.

If you're the sharpest person on the call, you're not learning anything.

The room that actually does something for you is the one where you're a little behind.

I had a member tell me a few weeks ago she'd been staying quiet on our calls.. holding back because she felt like she didn't know enough yet to talk.

She's newer to this than most of the room.

She shows up every week anyway.. to multiple calls.

She's not there for the mere tips. She's watching how people ask questions she never would've thought to ask.

That's the actual product of the right room.

Exposure..

Inspiration..

Working alone won't give you that.

A group where the conversation never leaves the basics won't either.

Go find a room where you're the one catching up. Any room. Doesn't have to be mine.

Funnel Builders.. If you want mine.. I've got nine spots open in a funnel-building mastermind.

We've been meeting every week for over five months.

People say it's their favorite call of the week.
