  • Overcoming Life's Storms: Faith, Gratitude & Small Business Lessons
    Mar 7 2025

    In this episode of Strong Back Nation, I'm keeping it real and sharing the ups and downs from the past few weeks — from battling sickness in the family to facing unexpected expenses, snowstorms, and the daily grind of running a small business. But through it all, I've been reminded of the power of gratitude, faith, and focusing on the blessings right in front of me.

    Join me as I talk about shifting my mindset, leaning on God, and learning to embrace slow and steady growth — because sometimes, like David, all you need is a sling, a rock, and faith to take down Goliath.

    Plus, I'll share some valuable marketing tips I picked up from Sonoma Strong and a simple (free!) Facebook strategy that's already bringing in new leads for my junk removal business. Whether you're a fellow business owner or just someone trying to get through life's storms, this one's for you.
