In 2006 I suffered from crippling anxiety attacks that sent me to the emergency room twice... In 2009 I made a business investment that left me nearly bankrupt… From 1994 to 2010 I struggled with binge drinking because I was a socially anxious introvert that hid behind the booze ... For 5 years, between 2010 and 2015 most of my coaching clients thought I was a total jerk (Thank God for Bedros - he was the only reason people kept coming back to our Mastermind events) Then in 2016 I made the brilliant decision to shut down a $5.5 million a year business and start another business from scratch in an entirely different industry. In 2019, at age 44, I was a lifelong bachelor still looking for the love of my life... All of these challenges were part of my Entrepreneurial Rollercoaster ride. But no matter how big the obstacle in my way... I never, ever thought of quitting BECAUSE OF MY VISION! Instead of quitting, I used a mindset to persevere and chip away until - just like good old Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption - I was free from my prisons. Today, I’m happily married with a baby girl on the way… I no longer drink at all and stopped labeling myself an introvert years ago… And I have a rapidly growing 7-figure business that’s aligned with my values and passion… … because I get to help other entrepreneurs and high performers every day. I held firm to my vision and now I’m living it… Thanks to that specific mindset… A mindset so powerful people have had it tattooed on their legs. Ryan Daniel Moran even quoted me on it in his best selling book, 12 Months to $1 Million (which I highly recommend). And that mindset goes like this: “Success is simple once you accept how hard it is.” Only when you admit to yourself that you are climbing a personal Mt. Everest, will you take the challenge seriously... And accept that it will take more preparation, dedication, persistence and consistency than anything else you have ever done in your life. Only then will you have the strength and commitment required to make the necessary sacrifices. Whether it’s getting out of debt while your friends blow money on watches and fancy cars... Dieting for a bodybuilding competition while friends eat pizza in front of your face... Or giving up weekends to build your 7-figure business... SUCCESS IS SIMPLE ONCE YOU ACCEPT HOW HARD IT IS! I knew that overcoming anxiety wouldn’t be easy... That reinventing my business would be challenging... And that finding my love, Michelle, would take time... But I did it. And you can too. I believe in you! As long as you believe in your VISION.
