Something crazy happened 30 minutes before my workshop

Something crazy happened 30 minutes before my workshop

Something crazy happened 30 minutes before my workshop…

I was home preparing to guide a room full of high-level business owners through the process of upgrading their identity to match their 2025 goals.

You see, my father-in-law had just moved in from Nigeria.

And he’s legally blind...

He came to stay with us so we could help him, support him, and maybe even improve his vision.

Well, that day, he wasn’t feeling well.

He’d been weak for a few days.

He called me from the garden and said he was too hot.

I went to help him inside.

And as I picked him up—he collapsed...

His body went limp in my arms...

I caught him. I laid him down. I called the ambulance.

They said…

“We think it’s a heart attack.”

This was 30 minutes before I was supposed to go live.

He was rushed to the hospital.

I went on stage.

Did the workshop.

Then went to be with him…

Turns out—no heart attack.

But he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.

Now here’s the part that got me a little heated…

My father-in-law had been using the language of death for years.

“I can’t live without my sight.”

“I have nothing to live for.”

“What’s the point anymore?”

And I told him straight…

“If you keep begging the Grim Reaper to show up… don’t be surprised when he does.”

I know it may come across a little harsh… but I really do believe it.

…because everything starts in the mind.

Everything.

If you’re filled with doubt, despair, and “I can’t,” your body will start to believe it too.

And so will your relationships, health, and even business.

I’ve even seen entrepreneurs sabotage a healthy company because their mindset turned toxic.

They fixated on the wrong things.

They collapsed mentally—and the revenue followed.

Years of work down the drain.

Good products retired.

Teams laid off because of one meltdown.

But I’ve also seen what happens when you live in the law of assumption…

Gratitude.

Faith.

Conviction that the breakthrough is already here.

That’s how you get miracles.

That’s how things move fast.

And when I came back to visit him?

My father-in-law was glowing.

Smiling.

He said… “I’ve been praying.

Thanking the Lord for every moment. And I know I’ll see again. I already believe it’s happening.”

He shifted his identity.

My father-in-law went from saying…

“I can’t live like this…”

To now saying… “I have so much to live for.”

And it shows—in his energy, his recovery, his smile.

I’ve seen the same shift create 100K+ months, healed relationships, and total freedom in business.

That’s what we do in the Breakthrough Call.

We don’t just talk tactics.

We help you shift who you’re being—so your goals stop feeling like a grind and start flowing toward you.

So if you’re tired of pushing uphill…

Let’s make your breakthrough feel inevitable.

But you don’t have to wait for a collapse to start thinking bigger.
