Summary
In 2017, I was having an event at my office.
I had a guy come in that had done a billion in financial transactions.
He was an amazing dude.
Great speaker and he said something that really resonated with me.
He said when he was starting his business, he had to dial down his salary, take a step back and make room so he could prepare for the future of what was coming.
He's since sold his company.
It's a great lesson.
Life is like that.
Many people become victims when they have to take steps back to grow their business and life.
The setbacks are supposed to give you clarity and a direction of certainty.
Learn the lessons quickly and make your moves.
Drop your ego and see how you can correct your direction from reflecting on the lessons.
