I describe two ways to look at using your current resources or advantages you have to pivot your personal life, your business, or both. First is reflection on Darren Hardy's recent Darren Daily episode on Time-Money-Wealth and using 2 of the 3 to obtain the other one. The second is similar and forms the backbone of our strategy at Paradigm Life: Cash Flow-Protection-Wealth. These three must all be in place in the end to ensure success, but you can use two of the three to achieve the desired result. However, history shows in most cases you cannot successfully use just one to get all three.

Personal business challenges I'm working through today reminded me that continually learning and sharing those lessons for the collective betterment of society. It is how we as a species evolve and prepare ourselves for even bigger challenges to come. It is the spice of life and what makes it worth living. Embrace it, you will look back and realize you are 10x the person for having overcome that crisis, for having seized the opportunities that it presented. MAGA!
