Often people burdened with debt feel bullied, hopeless and that there's no way out. But what would you do if you were in a near fatal accident and had to re-learn how to walk, talk or eat?

How do you deal with trauma in your life?

At 14, Nick Prefontaine suffered a traumatic, life-threatening snowboarding accident and was put in a coma. His parents were told he wouldn't ever walk, talk, or eat on his own again. He did and set a personal goal of not walking, but running out of the hospital. Nick does a lot of speaking work to help those suffering from brain injuries.

Today, Nick is a 7-figure business owner, Rhode Island-based real estate investor, speaker, and Partner of Smart Real Estate Coach.

Shawn, George & Nick talk about the S.T.E.P. system - Support, Trust, Energy and Persistence. You can download Nick's S.T.E.P. system at www.nickprefontaine.com/step and you can check out Nick's Real Estate Coaching website at www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com.

Plus, we talk about the costs of hospital bills and the need for medical insurance prior to a major catastrophic event, and how Nick paid off the debt he used to start his business within three years!
