When I launched Resilience Leaders, I knew this was going to be a journey that I'd have to navigate. I had to put approach my own fears and uncertainty head-on because no one was coming to do this for me.

I struggled through the first few years of my business. I was mired in chasing shiny objects that were "promising quick results".  I was comparing myself to other's success... 

Something had to change.  

In early 2019, one of my mentors made me an offer to work with him part time as a coach and I saw it as an opportunity to supplement my own coaching and training business. 

A few months later, he offered me a full time role at his company as long as I continued to work on my own "stuff" . I appreciated the encouragement to keep going with my own movement because this purpose based work was important to me.

As the months went by, though, my focus turned to the success of my mentor's business and less on my own. I struggled with that because I wanted BOTH to be successful. And, in late 2022, the business was changing directions... I was let go. 

On the way home, I made the declaration in the car  "I will only every build my dream from here on out."  That day, The "GRIT GUY" was launched. 

Here's the thing:  In making that declaration, I chose to say yes to ME for once, and it has changed everything in my life. 

Your strength lies in the decision to commit to YOU.
