Accidents Lead to Opportunity


Listen Later

How do you respond when your plans are changed by circumstance? If we are honest, we have to admit that we don’t like relinquishing control of our plans and schedules, but let’s take a look from a new perspective. How many times have those chance interruptions led to something great? You may not like those accidents or bad luck circumstances, but let’s talk about them as being the place of opportunity.

 

In this episode, we learn:

 

  • My story of a country music bar in Chicago, a missed plane, and a chance meeting that radically changed someone’s music career
  • The lesson? Have your awareness OPEN to opportunity
  • How entrepreneurship, athletics, and music are similar in that you have to put in the work WAY before the payoff
  • Dwayne ”The Rock” Johnson’s story of how NOT making it to the NFL was the best thing that never happened to him
  • Know what you can’t control and what you can. You CAN control your mindset, your work ethic, how you treat people, and how you respond to every situation.
  • The accidents are there to prepare you for something you aren’t even aware is ready to show up in your life
  • You have to have a belief system that your future is going to be brighter than your past
  • Focus on somebody else today and go do something productive to make your day better.
