017: Be Too Dumb to Quit! with Donnie Boivin

017: Be Too Dumb to Quit! with Donnie Boivin

"Most people who find success are people like me who are too dumb to quit… You are your own champion. Nobody else is going to choose you to stand out front. You get to choose yourself and become that champion." -Donnie Boivin

The first step in chasing our dream is knowing how much it's worth. (Read that again.)

One of the common traps we will encounter in our journey is the trap of going back to a "safe" space when life takes a sudden turn. But we want to remind ourselves that the most important thing about our dream isn't how great it is, but rather how much time and effort we put into it from day one. Our dream will increase in value only if we don't stop working towards it in the first place!

In this episode, I sit with Donnie Boivin, the CEO of the Success Champions family of companies. Donnie was successful at what he does— sales. He knows how to make a sale easy and he can talk about it with burning passion anytime. But when this one thing was taken away from him, not only was his dream crushed, but he also felt what most of us, men, feel— a mix of negative emotions when we know we let our loved ones down, and worse, we let ourselves down.

One evening, he was invited to dinner and his business partner told him something that changed his life forever. What was that conversation about? And how did he go from almost losing everything he had to owning a network of companies, being a top podcast host, and having 5 best-selling books?

Listen in as Donnie and I talk about how we can champion our own success, why we should not let the promises of a "secure job" depreciate the value of our dreams, how a true CEO thinks and acts, and how we can build a business so that we're not creating "just another job" for ourselves but enjoying the freedom of being able to follow our dreams.
