"I live a life that is unexpected...tomorrow when you wake up if you're not where you want to be, then in that very moment do unexpected things in your life. You must make changes to get where you want to end up."
Anthony Trucks asks his clients--and us--one simple question: 'Do you want to be remembered in life for doing something you're not yet doing?' Anthony Trucks went into foster care at age 6, was adopted at 15, then went on to be a linebacker in the NFL, only to be injured, start a business and watch his marriage fall apart. But that's only part of the story. Anthony shares his story as a testament to the greatness that is inside of each of us. He joins me to talk about living triumphantly through the application of L.I.F.T. and what it means to Trust Your Hustle. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover...well, Anthony is an open book with us, sharing things he's never shared before publicly.
Anthony and I chat about:
- His life transitions from foster care to adoption to playing in the NFL then being injured to Trusting his Hustle
- How we can use prior successes to bolster us for future successes and how to defeat negative self-talk
- Creating a life of service
- The importance of investing in personal development, he's spent $70,000 in past year on education
- And much, much more
You can't help but be inspired and motivated to HUSTLE ON!
