The Week Everything Fell Apart (And Why That's Actually Great)

The Reckless CEO

Have you ever wondered if the resistance you're facing means you're on the wrong path—or exactly the right one? In this raw and unfiltered episode, I share the complete breakdown that happened in my business this week and the profound transformation that followed.
When half my team walked out, construction projects failed spectacularly, and everything seemed to be crumbling around me, I found myself in that familiar space of shame and self-doubt. Why was this happening? Was I even cut out for this? Should I have stayed in the coal mines and never attempted to build something bigger?
The breakthrough came through a powerful mentoring session that completely shifted my perspective. Just as muscles only grow through resistance in bodybuilding, perhaps the challenges in business aren't signs to quit but confirmation you're growing. Most people abandon their path when facing pushback, but what if that resistance is exactly what you need?
I explore the dangerous cycle of self-punishment and how living in low-vibration emotions like guilt, shame and fear only attracts more negative outcomes. The key to breaking this pattern lies in a simple daily practice: acknowledging what you're grateful for, noting what could have gone better (without dwelling on why), and setting clear intentions for tomorrow.
If you've ever felt like everything was falling apart around you, this episode might be the perspective shift you need. Stop asking "why is this happening to me?" and start asking "what is this doing for me?" Success isn't a matter of if—it's a matter of when.
