Chapters

Do you want your kids to see somebody who didn't give up and still failed or didn't even try? And that got to me. That got to me. And I thought to myself, I would rather have my kids see somebody who gave it a thousand percent and failed than somebody who didn't try. And I got inspired by it. So I had her take a picture. I post on social media. I said, in the next 90 days, I'm going to build my business back, and I'm going to show you exactly how I do it. So I shared my plan. I shared everything I was doing. And in 88 days, I went back into the bank and there's a picture of me. I asked the branch manager, I said, do you mind? Because I paid off the final loan. It was like $11,000 for the final $500,000. I said, hey, can I take a selfie? She goes, I'd prefer you didn't. It's like, I got to. So I took a picture. It's on all my channel. I show it in workshops. And it was 88 days.
