"I Prayed Someone Would Kill Me. Then I Built a $46M System"

What happens when you hit absolute rock bottom—and somehow find your way back to build a multi-million dollar empire?

Charles Gaudet doesn't sugarcoat it. He prayed for death while driving. That's real rock bottom. But what he discovered on the other side changed everything—not just for him, but for the thousands of entrepreneurs he's helped since.

This isn't your typical "rags to riches" story.

This is raw, unfiltered truth about:

The hidden trap that keeps 66% of fast-growing companies from lasting 5 years (and how to avoid it) Why your biggest bottleneck isn't your market, your team, or your strategy—it's probably you (and the exact moment you'll realize it)

The "Founder's Trap" that catches entrepreneurs at $1-3 million and keeps them working 60-hour weeks for the same income

How mindset literally shapes your reality (and the one question that transforms challenges into opportunities)

The counterintuitive truth about consumption vs. conversion that changed marketing forever in 2019

Why two-thirds of everything you're doing right now doesn't matter (and what to do instead)

You'll discover:

The real reason successful people face the BIGGEST challenges (hint: it's not bad luck)

Why "comfort" is the most dangerous place for an entrepreneur

The exact systems that took Charles from rock bottom to building $46 million in revenue in just 6 years

How to break free when everything depends on YOU (and your business crumbles without you)

The protective identity formed in childhood (ages 7-12) that's secretly sabotaging your success right now

If you're working harder than ever but not growing... If you know your business should be bigger than it is... If you're tired of being the bottleneck in your own company...

This conversation will change how you think about entrepreneurship forever.

Charles has helped thousands of founders escape the founder's trap, eliminate guesswork, and build truly predictable businesses. His insights on momentum, systems, and the psychology of success are unlike anything you've heard before.

The springboard principle: The deeper you go down, the higher you can bounce back. But you need the right systems to make it happen.

"Problems either happen TO you or happen FOR you. You get to choose." - Charles Gaudet
