About this episode

What do you actually do when the going gets tough? In today’s episode we’re getting really vulnerable. I’m going to walk you through some difficult things I’ve been going through recently and how I’m navigating each of them. Reflecting on everything in the last month made me realize no one fails, they just quit before they succeed. We’re all going to face tough times; it’s part of the entrepreneurship journey.

Listen along as I share some of the tough things I’ve been dealing with:

  1. I had my lowest income month I’ve ever had in the last 2.5 years
  2. A student in one of my offers told me I’m not embodying what I teach
  3. A student was plagiarizing one of my offers
  4. I had a tragedy in my personal life recently
  5. I lost a very large investment in another business
  6. I goofed up with something I taught in one of my offers

While it’s been a really tough month, I’ve tried to remember that disruption proceeds your biggest breakthroughs. How many of us throw in the towel right before our breakthrough? Ultimately where we need to land: our dreams are worth fighting for.
