I got bullied so badly as a gay kid that I decided the only way to survive was to be perfect at everything. School, sports, music - I would outperform everyone around me, always.
This “survival mechanism” worked for decades. Until April of this year, when it nearly destroyed my business.
I was facing repeated failure. My launches weren't hitting. My revenue was inconsistent. And my entire nervous system was screaming that if I couldn't be perfect, I wasn't loveable. So I had two choices: quit, or fundamentally change who I was.
I chose to change. And what I discovered changed everything about how I approach motivation, resilience, and building a business that lasts.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact process I used to sustain my motivation in the face of failure - without powering through or doing more. Because here's what most people get wrong: you can't fight a lack of motivation with more effort.
You have to change the way you see yourself and what you're capable of. You have to build the capacity to feel unwanted emotions and have your own back, no matter what happens.
I'm breaking down the 4-step process that allowed me to keep going when everything felt like it was falling apart - and how you can also follow it in your own business.
If you've ever felt like quitting, or you're stuck in a cycle of perfectionism that's burning you out, this episode will show you the way forward.
This is the foundation for everything I teach in my advanced workshop: The $250K Revenue Engine
You can't build a sustainable revenue engine without first building the internal capacity to handle setbacks, stay motivated, and keep showing up when results aren't immediate.
In this workshop, we're going deep on both: the inner work of finding your purpose and the outer work of aligning your business to that purpose. This is about determining your personal and professional "why" - a vision powerful enough to sustain you through the inevitable challenges of building a business.
If this episode resonates with you, this workshop will take you further.
