Todd Dickerson shares how he pushed through financial struggles, his mother's death, and his daughter's traumatic brain injury to run the New York marathon at 19. He talks about ClickFunnels culture and marketing frameworks as paths to opportunity and community for entrepreneurs.
19
One of the speaker's daughters had a traumatic brain injury (wasn't expected to live).
There are so many people walking around who don't know that they can change the world. You were born to do something great with your life. As an entrepreneur, you're going to have painful experiences, but all pain is temporary. And if you can survive it, you will meet another version of yourself. I was just numb. We were racking up credit cards. We stopped paying for our house. We literally were selling furniture out of our home. I felt trapped and exhausted by my life and I couldn't see a way out. I felt like a shell of who I was made to be. In life, you are most capable of helping the person you used to be. If you used to be broke, you can help broke people. If you used to be broken, you can help broken. It starts with you. You hear the call and you feel it. It's beating, it's pulsing. I made for something more. And then fear hits us. Little voices in the back of our head. I'm not ready. I'm not worthy. The driven say no, I'm gonna do it. The driven, are you guys here? Today more people are finding their breaking point and waking up. I have a calling. Yesterday I realized I have to do this. There's a soul here at Click Funnels. It felt like I had gone through the war of the Chronicles of Narnia and I was just like, what is this magical place that makes billionaires? I'm going to show you the magic trick that made me all of my money. My best selling framework. Start out closing. If you're going to end up 82% of customers trust influencers, better blow your mind and allow you to predict the future. People need aliveness and meaning again. Who do you want to become? What do you want to felt and experience in this one precious life, Happy life. You wouldn't be able to tell, but I ran the New York marathon when I was 19. Life happened and my mom passed away. One of my daughters had a traumatic brain injury. Wasn't expected to live. When you meet somebody that continues to push through adversity, that is the definition of an entrepreneur. Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to sponsor you through this journey because everybody deserves an opportunity. What you do with it is up to you. People feel a sense of belonging here. It feels like home. It's so encouraging because if they can do it, so can I. It starts with saying, hey, next year we're going to get better. Russell has a way of teaching that makes success faster. In my opinion, he's the best marketer ever lived. You will find exactly what your business is missing. It's going to amplify every campaign you do. If you've been thinking there has to be a better way to do this than what you're being told, I'm here to tell you you're. People might say you're too young or you're too old or your body's not right, or you didn't go to the right school. Then one day, they're telling people how they met you. Oh, I can lie. I've changed my entire life because now I know what I'm gonna do next. Your family's gonna be blessed. Your legacy's gonna be blessed. Movements are about to be burst. My story, hopefully permission. You do not have to be great to get started, but you have got to start if you ever want to be great.
