What do you do when the business you built nearly breaks you and puts your family through hell? In this honest and personal episode, Chris G shares how getting seriously sick forced him to face the problems he’d been ignoring in both his business and life. From waking up in a hospital far from home to realizing no one knew how to run things without him, he learned the hard way that something had to change. He talks about five simple but powerful things that helped him turn it all around: making a plan, treating people right, building better habits, knowing what success really means, and having a backup plan. If your business ever feels like too much, this one’s for you.
