Hitting rock bottom, while uncomfortable, is often a necessary part of any recovery process, whether from substance abuse or the harmful effects of a work life that lacks balance, reward and satisfaction. Desperation, a gift of hitting bottom, frequently provides the motivation required to make the most important changes in your business. 

In this episode we learn:

  • hitting bottom provides the desperation needed to do the hard work of recovery.
  • you can tune a room to improve acoustic properties
  • a minute of planning saves an hour of work
  • a disciplined financial plan is critical to surviving ups and downs
  • why not me?
