Everything was crashing in on me

Everything was crashing in on me. ?

A broken leg.

A failed relationship.

A frivolous lawsuit.

The timing was terrible.

Recently I had become a father.

With all of this happening, I made a tough decision. ⚓️

Close down my business.

I worked so hard, and this is where it got me?

I felt like the unluckiest person on Earth.

Exploring what’s next, I started job hunting.

I landed an interview for a biz dev role at a leading agency. ??

I was so excited.

But after several rounds of interviews, I was rejected.

More bad luck. ?

I “wasn’t ready” for the role.

It stung.

Despite these challenges, I never stopped.

Eventually, someone took a chance, and I landed a biz dev role.

I wanted to excel.

To gain knowledge, I read books and listened to podcasts. ??

To help with my mindset, I started meditating.

To improve communication, I joined a public speaking group.

I became a top performer and was recruited twice over the next 8 years. ?

With each new opportunity, I poured everything I had into it.

But during the pandemic, I decided it was time to start a business again.

Over our first 1 1/2 years, we’ve gone from 0 clients to over a dozen.

But I am incredibly proud of one of those clients.

Why?

Remember that agency where I “wasn’t ready” and was rejected?

They sought me out and are now a client.

Hard work puts you where good luck can find you.
