Colin Sprake's $750,000-a-month business shut down during COVID. He spent 18 months asking what he didn't want to do, then pivoted back to mergers and acquisitions. That shift created $15 million in personal value over six years.
The gift that COVID gave me that made me a fortune. Now I'm gonna ask you this, to really think about this. Like when COVID shut me down, I had a company doing $750,000 a month and all of a sudden COVID shut us down completely and I had to really rethink things. The best gift that COVID gave me was really rethinking what I want to do with my life. And I spent probably 18 months trying to figure out what I want to do, what I want to do. And then one day I sat down and I said to myself, what don't I want to do? And I got very clear on what I didn't want to do. And the more clear I got on what I didn't want to do, the more clear what I wanted to do became. And it changed everything for me. It allowed me to move into a completely different world, go back to doing mergers and acquisitions the way I was. And in 6 years, that's added over $15 million of value to my life. So I want you to think about this for yourself. Sometimes there's a gift out there that's wrapped up and you don't really see it as a gift, but it's the most beautiful gift you could ever get. You're not looking at it that way. I think everything happens for us, not to us. That gift is waiting waiting for you. You might be in the most challenging place right now in your business, in life, what have you. Think about it. What's the gift in that situation? Colin Sprake]
