When I was a kid going through school, I had a speech impediment.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t talk like the other kids.
Every week, I’d get pulled out of class and taken to a special room where a kind teacher used flashcards to help me learn how to talk.
I’ll never forget her encouragement, support, and kindness.
What pushed me to keep trying wasn’t just the lessons—
It was one of my good friends, Rory.
See, I couldn’t say his name.
And as a kid, that hit me hard.
I wanted to say his name like everyone else.
I wanted to call out to my buddy without feeling different.
So I practiced.
I worked at it.
And one day… I finally started to overcome this handicap!
I’ll never forget the day I said “Rory” the right way—
And could do it on demand from that day forward.
And now… here’s the rest of the story.
That little boy with the speech problem?
He grew up to make his living by speaking.
How ironic is that!!
Today, I talk with loan officers.
I lead masterminds.
I teach to tens of thousands every month.
I coach. I do podcasts.
And it’s led to building a business that’s brought in tens of millions of dollars—and continues to do that today.
All because I kept going—
Even when it was awkward. Even when it was uncomfortable.
I pushed through the fear, with the help of my mentor, that special teacher.
I share this with you to encourage you to keep on keep’n on.
So here’s my question to you:
What’s the thing you’ve been avoiding?
The one you know deep down would grow your business—or even your life…
If you just leaned into it?
• Making calls?
• Following up?
• Doing the uncomfortable?
• Starting conversations with referral partners?
We all have our “Rory moment.”
And your breakthrough might be waiting on the other side of it.
You’ve got this.
