From Losing a Job to Bootstrapping a Dream, Matt Miller – BtR 055 - a podcast by Brandon Cunningham and Jerry Dugan

Life is Unfair and Filled with OpportunityIn 2007, Jerry was the top real estate sales agent in his company. The market tanked the following year and he struggled every year until he found his true passion in education/performance consulting.Matt Miller found himself in a similar situation in 2003. He was top salesman for his company. A manager desired to capitalize on Matt's success and increase Matt's sales quota by almost double! His coworkers averaged an quota increase between five and ten percent. Unfair!Life is unfair. That's a fact in life. Life is also filled with opportunity. That is also a fact.Moping was not an option for Matt. He immediately did whatever he needed to take care of his family, pizza delivery, cashing in aluminum cans, and creating assets that would provide multiple streams of income for his family."Life is a marathon. It is not a sprint."Bootstrapping a Dream - Matt MillerMatt Miller graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1989 and was an Air Force pilot for nine years.
