If you can master the trait of not folding under pressure, and learn how to leverage failure and take problems... We had a small supplier years ago. The supplier just disappeared. They dipped on us. We had customers we had to deliver for. We had orders to fulfill. This was years and years ago. At the end of the day, what do you do? What are we going to do? How are we going to do it? If that situation hadn't happened, we would never be in the position we are today. I am thankful to God that that supplier disappeared. Whoever was behind it, whatever the reason was, if you're watching this podcast, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, because it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. If it hadn't happened, there would be no change.
