Welcome to the rewire podcast.

I'm your host, Ryan Stumann, and I'm here to rewire your mind for success.

You were put on this planet for success.

You were created to succeed, but the force of average is after you every single day, my brothers and sisters.

And this podcast is the one thing that's designed to help you fight the force of average and excel in

every area of your life. We're glad that you're here.

2017, I'm having an event at my office. And I have this guy come in who has done a billion

dollars in financial transactions. He's a local business guy.

And great speaker and just an amazing dude comes in when he says something to us at this event

that really resonated with me in a bigger way than how he meant it.

He was telling the story about when he went to grow his

business, he had to dial his salary back. So he was making, you know, let's say $20,000 a month.

He had to dial his salary down to $5,000 a month so he could expand his business, put the

money into it. And he said, I had to take a step back financially in order to spring forward in wealth

down the road. That guy since sold that company. And I thought about that. And that's kind of how

life works. We get set back. We have to take a couple steps back, but those steps back prepare us for the future of what's coming.

So think about this. Quarterback gets the ball height to him. Down, set, hut, ball gets snap. What's the quarterback do? Does he stand in place and throw the ball? No. He takes about five, ten steps back so that he can gain some clearance and look and see

what's going on, then progresses to pass the ball forward to be received by one of his

wide receivers tied in, whatever the case, right?

That's how life, like when we, a lot of people, they become a victim when they have to take a step back, right?

When they have to take a step back financially.

They have to take a step back in relationships.
