My Funnel Broke (And It Made Me More Money)

🧠 The Hustl Mindset

The Day My Funnel Broke (And I Thanked It)

It was 10:17AM on a Tuesday.

I’d just sat down with coffee when the first message hit:

“Hey… your checkout page isn’t working.”

Then another. And another.

I opened my dashboard and my stomach dropped.

Zero sales. Broken link.

I had just sent an email blast to 4,000 people.

Poof—gone.

Here’s what most people would’ve done: panic, complain, spiral.

But I did something else.

I took a deep breath and thought:

Because here’s what no one tells you:

The best entrepreneurs don’t freak out.

They troubleshoot.

They re-send.

They turn the mess into a message.

That email you’re reading? It came from that disaster.

You don’t need perfection to win.

You need resilience.

⚡️ One-Minute Money Moves

Turn a Mistake Into a Sale

Send a “Whoops!” email.

Subject line: “Oops… my bad 😬”

Copy:

“Quick heads up—the last link didn’t work (classic move, I know).
Here’s the real one: [new link]
And as a thank you for your patience, here’s [bonus/discount/resource].”

People love transparency.

And they really love bonuses.

Sometimes your mistake is your best sales trigger.

🚀 Hustl Hack

The “Fast Fix” Framework for When Things Break

1. Own it. Don’t hide—communicate fast.

2. Fix it. Patch the link, clean the error, test it again.

3. Flip it. Turn the mistake into a value-add.

4. Follow up. People remember who handles problems, not who avoids them.

Pro tip: Save this checklist. Next time you screw up (and you will), you’ll be ready.
