Embodying the Essence of Resilience with Chris Gormley

When was the
last time you took a moment to honestly challenge yourself to believe in your
own abilities to prosper and thrive?  For
you must  be willing to set your own
standard and live up to the best version of you.  However, according to Psychology Today and
Medium they jointly report between 85-88% of people don’t take a leap of faith
or risk in life because they lack self-confidence. 

Chris Gormley, a dynamic force at 34 years
old, embodies the essence of resilience, determination, and the unwavering
pursuit of personal growth.

Raised solely by his mother in challenging circumstances, Chris's
childhood was marked by financial hardship. Moving frequently and relying on
food stamps, he learned the value of perseverance and hard work from an early
age. Throughout his youth, he immersed himself in martial arts, cultivating
discipline and tenacity that would shape his future.

While in college, Chris juggled a job selling phones and being a member
of Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business fraternity, while pursuing a degree
in sales and business marketing. After graduating, he moved to Southern
California and entered the medical device sales industry.

In 2015, Chris faced a near-tragic motorcycle accident when an SUV
unexpectedly crossed his path at highway speeds. The collision left him with a
shattered pelvis, severe abdominal muscle tears, and multiple injuries,
necessitating extensive rehabilitation and the arduous task of relearning to
walk. Remarkably, within a year, Chris made a full recovery, emerging from this
life-altering experience with a renewed sense of purpose.

Driven by a burning desire for financial independence and freedom, Chris
founded his real estate investment company, Network Ventures Inc., in 2020 and
left his $250k/year medical device career just 30 days after launching his
company. Within 6 months of its inception, he scaled the business to manage 8
property flips concurrently and embarked on the development of a $30 million
commercial project. In the first 12 months Chris raised $2 million, and over
the course of 3 short years, he has raised more than $4 million in funding,
marking a remarkable ascent in the world of commercial real estate.

In 2017, the birth of his daughter added even more depth to his
purpose. Chris's extraordinary life journey, shaped by hardship, recovery,
and unyielding ambition, compelled him to answer a higher calling. He felt a
profound responsibility to share his story, inspire others to realize their
true potential, and help them align with their unique paths.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Chris cherishes his role as a father
and spends quality time with his 6-year-old daughter. He finds solace and
exhilaration in fitness, adventure-seeking activities, and travel. Chris’
commitment to meaningful relationships underscores his belief in the importance
of surrounding oneself with those who matter most and those on a mission to win
in life.  He joined me this week to tell
me more.
