Worst Injury of My Life - 1 Year Later

Published about 2 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

Hey Reader,
​
​
This time last year I was at my lowest.
​
After a freak dirtbike accident, I experienced the worst injury in my life.
​
Which landed me in the hospital for 9 days,
a series of painful surgeries,
and months on bedrest.

I. was. useless.
​
Not to mention, while laying in that hospital bed hardly able to move, my largest paying client at the time dropped me and my services.

85% of my income gone. poof.

To make matters worse, my wife Megan and I, after years of hard work to successfully extinguish our debt - were watching these insane hospital bills roll in to the tune of over $300,000.

It took everything in me to not cry myself into a deep depression.

My kids knew I was hurt, but far too young to understand.

My wife had to take care of my sorry ass, run her business, and keep the household in order.

It was in these moments I was so quickly reminded of a few things.

  1. Life is SUCH a blessing - our health is almost always taken for granted.
  2. The love of family and friends is immeasurable - I'm forever humbled.
  3. It's not what happens to you that, but how you harness it for growth.

I'm not out of the woods yet...
(especially w the damn medical bills πŸ’Έ)

But I'm the most experienced, strongest, and most determined version of myself I've ever been.

It doesn't have to take a life altering tragedy to realign your heart and mind.

But oftentimes, we don't grasp these truths until we hit rock bottom.

Every breath is a gift.

Every moment is an opportunity.

Today, I'm thankful.

For you.

For this.

and everything in between.

Please consider watching this video (above) where I share the story and the takeaways all of us can draw from.

12 Years of GROWTH TIPS for Creators & Solo Businesses in 60 minutes

"Why am I NOT GROWING?" I've been doing the full-time (no backup plan) solopreneur/creator thing for a while now, and that question has hung around in my head for the better part of 5 years at this point. What I've learned is that it's more than doing exactly what 'pros' tell you to do. It's a matter of discovering, understanding, and continuously applying the foundational principles that live under the surface of everybody's advice. I just published a monster of a video that goes over the 20...

Hey Reader,Long time no talk - that's on me, but since you're on my email list I figured I'd share something cool with ya. I had a YouTube video go viral!And by viral I mean it WAYYY outperformed any other video I've ever produced.Take a look at this. πŸ‘€ For comparison's sake look how it's performing against my other top videos (if you can call it that haha). And because of the success of this video, we're only more 10 subscribers away from hitting the elusive 1,000 subscriber mark! It's small...

Resolutions.Goals.New Commitments.I can smell the excitement and upcoming failed attempts in the air!It's almost comical how the new year season typically plays out for most.Maybe it's time to play the game with the opposite approach.Have you heard of anti-goals?Here's 3 of mine (click the box below). Evan Shank @the_evanshank I love the idea of anti-goals. Why? Because as humans we are typically more motivated by what WE DON’T WANT to happen. 2023 was a tough year for me - some unexpected...
