From Addiction to Abundance: How to Rise from Rock Bottom | Samuel Smith

Do you suffer from a work addiction?

You may not think of yourself as an addict, but addiction is rampant among entrepreneurs — especially addiction to our businesses, and it’s this work addiction that’s keeping you from the freedom and fulfillment you crave.

Today’s guest, Samuel Smith, is here to share how he lost TWO seven-figure businesses and his marriage because of addiction, AND how he’s built back his life with the right fundamentals and stewardship to ensure long-term success.

Inside this episode, you’re going to learn:

• The biggest misconceptions about building a 7-figure business
• The 4 levels of entrepreneurship and how to identify which one you’re in
