In this post, I want to share that experience with you and how it showed me the power of taking action, be it little or big, in shaping our destinies. So, let’s dive in and discover how it all started!

Introduction

There are few things more inspiring than hearing the story of someone who started from scratch and worked their way up to become a successful entrepreneur, especially in the online world. One such person is a speaker who won his first online award in 2018 and received it on stage in Nashville in 2019. This article will provide further insight into his journey and the lessons he learned along the way.

From Zero to Hero: How He Won the Award

The speaker won the award by referring 100 people to ClickFunnels as an affiliate. However, it wasn’t just a matter of posting a few links and hoping for the best. It was a combination of strategic efforts over a period of 18 months. These included:

• Blogging: Consistently producing high-quality content that provided value to readers and helped educate them about the benefits of ClickFunnels
• Paid ads: Investing in advertising on various channels to reach a wider audience and attract potential customers
• Facebook group: Creating and nurturing a community of like-minded people who were interested in ClickFunnels and were willing to learn more about it
• Email marketing: Building a mailing list of subscribers who were genuinely interested in the product and keeping them engaged with regular updates and offers.

The Lessons He Learned

Being the 52nd or 53rd person among tens of thousands of affiliates in the world to achieve the award was no small feat. It required dedication, hard work, and a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve. The big lesson he learned was to set a goal and not stop until he achieved it, and to avoid moving the goal posts. Changing strategies and plans is allowed, but he always kept the end goal in mind.

He insists that refusing to give up is the key to crushing your competition. It is important to stay focused until the goal is achieved. There were times when he felt like giving up, but he kept going because he knew that the hard work and persistence would pay off in the end.
