081: Being Prepared to Make a Shift in Your Life with David Bain

Always be prepared to make a change in your business or your job. Just when you think you have control of your life, your job, your business, your income and your way of life, something is going to come along and knock you off your feet. I want you to be prepared for that mentally, physically and financially. David Bain and I talk a bit about his experience and we give you a few ideas about how to be prepared.

David Bain is the founder and host of Digital Marketing Radio, the weekly podcast and video show that prises actionable advice from today's top marketers. And he's also author of the newly published book, Digital Marketing in 2017. Find out about that and more over at DigitalMarketingRadio.com.

My kick in the gut moment was when I was thinking of was through a company called one in one internet. I was making decent money with my online business. I had my domain name and hosting through this company. They accused me of spamming and shut my entire site down for about 2 months.

Wally's Take Away:

Always be prepared to make a shift in your life, relationships, career and even in your business. You never know when life is going to through you a curve ball. You can either duck and let it fly by you, or you can catch it, keep it or though it back. Hey, I just made that up.

Go out and live your life of abundance. And make sure to pay it forward.
