My 1
st
Rock Bottom: Dead at the Scene
As you know, my first rock bottom was almost my last when, at
age 20, I was hit head on by a drunk driver and died at the scene of the
accident.  (I  wrote  in  detail  about  how  I  bounced  back  from  my
seemingly insurmountable adversity, as well as the 8 lessons I learned
that  will  immediately  improve  the  quality  of  your  life,  in  my  first

My  2
nd
 Rock  Bottom:    Deep  In  Debt  and  Deeply
Depressed
My second plunge into the depths of despair was more difficult
than dying in a car accident was.
It was 2008. The United States economy was in the midst of the
worst recession since the infamous Great Depression of the 1930s. In
the  years  after  surviving  my  car  accident,  despite  bouncing  back  to
build a hall of fame sales career, launch a six-figure success coaching
business,  and  write  a  bestselling  book,  I  was  again  challenged.  This
time it was a complete mental, emotional, and financial breakdown.
Seemingly overnight, the successful enterprises I had built were
no longer profitable. Over half of my monthly income disappeared. I
was suddenly unable to pay my bills. I had just bought my first home.
I  was  engaged  to  be  married,  and  we  were  planning  our  first  child.
Buried in debt, behind on my mortgage, for the first time in my life, I
became severely depressed.
I  was  at  the  lowest  point  in  my  life.  Could  things  have  been
worse?  Probably.  But  was  this  the  worst  they  had  ever  been  for  me?
Absolutely. I had hit my rock bottom.
