54. Resilience Through Reading AND Action


Listen Later

I've touched on this topic before, but in today’s episode, I bring you a fresh perspective on setbacks. In 2019, I faced a significant setback when my investment in a new franchise ended in closure. The financial and personal loss left me feeling deeply depressed, like a failure who had let myself, my family and my employees down. 

Listen in as I recount how a simple discovery during that challenging time—finding a Kindle in my house—became a beacon of hope and a catalyst towards reframing my failure. Reading wasn't my forte, but this encounter sparked a desire for more knowledge and growth. It wasn't an instant fix; rather, it set me on a path of continuous reading and taking action.

Let me be clear—it wasn't easy. Overcoming my funk required more than just reading books. True progress in the business of being healthy demands ACTION. However, the newfound habit of reading acted as a catalyst, igniting positive change and helping me reclaim my life.

Discover the power of embracing challenges, finding inspiration in unexpected places, and taking meaningful action. Join me on this episode as I share my personal journey from loss to transformation and provide insights into how you, too, can embark on a path of growth and resilience even when you feel like you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Investments can backfire.
  • How I got out of one of the most challenging losses of my life.
