Larry Weidel describes losing his wife to brain cancer, facing financial ruin, and raising two sons alone. He turned to personal-development books and podcasts to survive, sharing quotes with his kids and leaning on a friend who ran a personal-development TV network.
I would have never accepted failure in my life. No just means not right now and to find another way to succeed, to do something. I've been broke. I've had a lot of things happen. I had a spouse die of brain cancer and two boys to take care of. And along with a host of issues with family and business failures. It hasn't been easy. But I spent a lot of time reading Personal Development. As I mentioned, my friend, my buddy Jeff Olson, used to have a tv, a private TV network that was strictly personal development. So I still have my desk. I read Jim Brown, how to Lead an Expired Life. I'm always reading it on my ibooks and sending my boys quotes. I get sick of it. But I'm like you. There's a wealth of success in the books and books, tapes, podcasts.
