I know a man who was FIRED.
Just a month before his daughter was born.
He depended on his honest salary to live.
He felt angry and humiliated, but needed to figure out a way to make money.
Everyone he knew in real estate drove nice cars, so he became a real estate agent. He wanted to build something no one could take away from him.
He threw away his TV, started to take care of his health and began to read đ on personal development. He applied what he read. He started to see results.
In 3 years he had 40 agents working under him. Then, the 2008 recession hit. He lost it all, but refused to lose himself in the process.
He thought about how he could live a life of meaning by helping others do the same.
He did his research, gathered a team, created a product that people needed, and launched FITTEAM GLOBAL.
In their first year, they exceeded their sales forecast by 1900%.
In just five years, they have helped thousands upon thousands of people live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Morale of the story: Sometimes losing your job is the best thing that can happen to you.
p.s. this is Christopher Hummelâs story!
