Description

I didn't plan on starting my own coaching business in my 20s. But a car accident that left me with a serious brain injury ended up being the wake-up call I needed to stop 'kicking rocks' down the road and finally go after my dream.

In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how:

The concussion I got from the accident turned into post-concussive syndrome, leaving me unable to work for 8 months

The limitations and loneliness of recovering from a traumatic brain injury made me reevaluate what I really wanted out of life

I finally found the courage to sign up for coach training, even though I couldn't really afford it at the time

If you've been putting off starting the business you've always dreamed of, this episode will show you why you can't afford to wait for the 'perfect time'.

You'll learn how to turn your perceived weaknesses into your greatest strengths.

And you'll walk away ready to pick up that rock you've been kicking down the road and finally do something with it.
