“I’ve missed my chance!” I've worked with too many twentysomethings who believe this lie.
I also spent too many years believing this lie myself.
In today's podcast, I jam-pack it with inspirational stories and lessons on why you haven't missed your chance in life.
One story I tell is of a twentysomething heavy metal rocker whose first album flopped. He was so discouraged that he’d lost his “one chance” at success that he tried to commit suicide.
Thankfully he was unsuccessful in his attempt and moved to LA to start playing piano in dive bars as what felt like a failure in complete exile.
There as he played through all the emotions and struggle, he would write his first hit song. This “failed heavy metal rocker” would then go on to be one of the most successful musicians in the United States and has sold more albums than Michael Jackson or Madonna! Know who this musician is??
Listen to this story and many more in this hope-filled episode.
You haven't missed your chance! Your future is waiting there in front of you, with arms wide open.
