Failing My Way to Success

When you first start your business, the excitement is electric. You’re fired up, chasing your dream, and ready to take on the world. But then reality hits. The finances, sales, employees, taxes—it all piles up. Before long, stress, overwhelm, and burnout creep in, and you find yourself wondering if you made the right choice at all.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. It was exactly my story.

Hitting Rock Bottom

Like many entrepreneurs, I jumped into business ownership with passion but little preparation for the mental, emotional, and financial weight it carried. Over time, the challenges mounted. Eventually, I was staring down a mountain of debt, a home in foreclosure, and a bankruptcy.

Worse than the financial toll was the personal one. I felt like I had failed—not just as a business owner, but as a husband and father.

The Turning Point

What saved me were mentors who stepped into my life at exactly the right time. They showed me a different way of thinking and operating—a set of habits and mindsets that separated the world’s top performers from everyone else.

I realized the most successful CEOs, athletes, and entrepreneurs weren’t relying on luck or hustle alone. They were operating from a framework of high-performance habits that fueled their energy, productivity, and resilience. And here’s the best part: none of it depended on where you came from, your education, or your background.

The Power of High-Performance Habits

Once I started applying these habits consistently, everything shifted.

• Stress went down. I wasn’t constantly in panic mode.

• Productivity went up. I could focus on the things that mattered most.

• Joy came back. I actually loved my business again.

• Relationships improved. I had more presence and energy for my family and friends.

It was a reminder of why I became self-employed in the first place—not to feel trapped, but to create freedom and fulfillment.

Your Next Level

If your entrepreneurial journey feels like mine once did—stressed, overwhelmed, and questioning everything—know this: there is a better way. High-performance habits can help you step into the next level of your business and your life.
