Mastermind #4: Rising From The Ashes
Mastermind #4: Rising From The Ashes
I just spent two very full days (9 a.m. to 9 p.m.) with 15 extremely sharp and savvy entrepreneurs in the Andrew Lock Magical Mastermind group.
As promised, this is the 4th of 5 marketing strategies you can use in your own business.
Who knew the doc was selling Oxycontin on the side?
The owners of the Multi-Specialty Clinic where he worked sure didn’t know.
But that didn’t stop the insurance company from withholding $4.5 million from them… which was NEVER paid even when they were cleared of any wrongdoing.
Poof… $4.5 million gone. Money they expected. Money they needed. Money they never saw.
That’s the story of one of the members in my mastermind group.
Of course, they went bankrupt.
What would you do at that point? Here’s what they did.
First, they vowed never to be at the mercy of an insurance company again. Then they started over. They also began teaching other doctors how to shift their practice to a cash-only business.
Now they hold seminars that people pay $4000 a pop to attend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “Our greatest glory is NOT in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.”
In their case, they were burned to the ground… but rose up from the ashes.
BIG TAKE AWAY:Â Sometimes it ain’t easy being an entrepreneur. But that’s what makes YOU so special.
Honestly, who else will do what you do? Most people are content to work for a paycheck. And that’s cool… for them.
But you and me are cut from a different cloth. We work without a net We are risk-takers.
So, the next time your back is to the wall; and it looks like it’s all crashing down around you; remember this story.
Also remember Winston Churchill’s words: “Never, never, never give up!”
And never forget that you are my hero.
