In life, there are people who think they’ll be able to take away your freedom, choices, and ultimately, your independence. And there are those who crush that toxic thinking by doing the work, making no excuses, and setting themselves up for true independence by doing the hard work.

Aimee Ball is a serial entrepreneur, software creator, business coach, and consultant who went from being a single mom of 2 children with no money in the bank to someone who set herself up with a nest egg of independence for life by doing one simple thing……working her ass off.

Today, Jeff and Aimee go to the beginning where most people find themselves before true success hits; one of the most painful moments in their lives. Aimee shares how her husband came home one day, said he didn’t want to be married anymore, and cleaned out their bank accounts leaving her with nothing except for a broken heart and two children. Jeff dives in deeper and asks about Aimee’s climb up from those circumstances, her first major job, and her dive into entrepreneurship. Jeff and Aimee talk about the importance of how most people don’t truly know the value of their worth.  They talk about taking experiences from your own life, sharing them, and how they can change the trajectory of someone else’s life.

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. 

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for his next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions & Rise Above HR/Recruiting on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
