Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Today, we're diving into a powerful and transformative topic using pain as fuel to win. We all experience pain in life, whether it's physical, emotional, or psychological. But what if I told you that pain could be the very thing that propels you to greatness? This is what I was able to do a few years ago, guys. I was going through depression.

I didn't know what I wanted to do. I was working a full-time career in law enforcement, and I was going through depression. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I was working a full-time career in law enforcement and I was making great money. I was living in a great neighborhood. I was taking care of my family but at the end of the day I wasn't fulfilled. So let's explore how to harness that pain that I was able to do and turn it into a driving force for success. Pain is going to happen in your life. It's a universal experience that shapes who we are. But while some let pain defeat them, others use it as a catalyst for change and growth. The difference lies in how you choose to respond to it. Pain can be a powerful motivator, pushing you

to break through barriers and achieve things that you never thought was possible in life. Instead of running from pain or suppressing it, face it head on. Understand where it comes from and what it's trying to tell you. Pain often signals that something needs to change in your life. It could be a wake up call urging you to take action

and make improvements in your life. Think about the challenges you've overcome in the past. Those experiences have made you stronger, more resilient, and more capable. Use this perspective to keep your current pain as an opportunity for growth. Every setback, every hardship is a chance to learn, adapt, and become better in life.

You have to channel your pain into action like I did. When you feel hurt, disappointed, or frustrated, use those emotions as fuel. Let them drive you to work harder, to push through obstacles, to stay committed to your goals. Pain can provide the energy and determination needed to keep going, even when the things get tough, guys.

So, as long as you guys see there's a lot of people, gym bros, people that like to work out. They always talk about using pain to go ahead and work out and to become shredded. It's the exact same thing in business. Use that pain to be the best, to be a killer, to go ahead and actually get what you need in life and what you wanted in life. One way to channel your pain is to set specific goals. These goals should be deeply connected to your pain points. For instance, if you experience financial hardship, set a goal to achieve financial independence.

If you face rejection, aim to prove your worth through your accomplishments. Let your pain guide you towards goals that matter the most to you. You have to surround yourself with positive influences. While pain can be a powerful motivator, it's important to balance it with positivity and support. Seek out mentors or people that are higher level, like-minded in communities like Facebook groups or the online space that can uplift you and inspire you. Their encouragement will help you stay focused and resilient as you channel your pain into productive action. This is basically what I was able to do, guys. Back in 2020, I jumped back onto Facebook, joined a bunch of Facebook groups, met a bunch of like-minded individuals that loved the business

just like I did. I was able to create a couple of cool companies with really cool people, was able to employ over 90 employees year to date and make millions of dollars and dramatically change the lifestyle of my family and myself, but also help thousands of people out there in the world that needed it. So at the end of the day, you're only doing a disservice to yourself if you don't go ahead and use that pain to go ahead and push you to greater things. So I'm here to remind you that your pain is not a limitation, but a source of power, unlimited power. Embrace it, harness it, and let it drive you to achieve greatness. Until next time, stay resilient, stay determined, and as always, let's level up.
