If you're interested in just listening to this audio, please enjoy. So this is here to inspire, motivate, encourage, empower, because what a lot of people don't realize about success in life and success in business is behind the scenes, it's not always puppy dogs and rainbows. So I'm bringing this to light and letting you know what I'm currently going through

so I can encourage you, empower you, inspire you, and motivate you to live life and create business to the absolute fullest. So I'm currently dealing with a extremely herniated disc in my C5, C6 of my neck. It's been by far, hands down, the most painful experience of my life, period. Not even comparable. Now, as I'm dealing with that and I'm trying to figure out how to sleep and I'm getting epidurals, this only happened about 30 days ago, maybe a little bit more. I've had two epidurals already. The pain still exists. And no, I'm not going to get surgery for those out there thinking maybe I should get surgery. Absolutely not. And so it is god awful to the point where sleeping is almost impossible,

holding my baby, bending down, you know, carrying my baby, just the stuff that you take for super granted, right? Is painful. Now, again, remember I have a baby. So looking down, like bringing, if you're watching this on YouTube and you should be, by the way, go to youtube.com forward slash Justin Colby. Like bringing my head down is painful. You can even see it right there. I'm in pain. Looking down at my baby is impossible. Now I'm dealing with this incredibly painful scenario.

Alongside of that, if I push the timeline a little bit further back, 60, 90 days ago, we made some tweaks with our marketing. I'm going into business here. Those tweaks weren't paying off and quite frankly kind of broke our entire marketing funnel and system. And from that day, literally roughly, call it 75 days ago,

we've been trying to play catch up. And we are just now getting back to where we were prior to making some tweaks that we thought were gonna be better for the business and we were gonna create more leads, et cetera. Well, those tweaks were very, very expensive. I mean, incredibly expensive and they didn't pan out, which makes them even more expensive. And so in business, we've been making these tweaks and trying to get back to even where we started 75 days ago. It has been a very big challenge for everyone involved, including our salespeople,

because if the leads aren't coming in, we're not converting those leads, right? So that happened, and we've been in a struggle for the last 75 days. Now, last week, someone I love dearly, and she's incredible, one of my A-plus players informed me that her opportunity to run a multi-billion dollar corporation that has likely thousands and thousands of people, and she could actually come in and do a very top management role and start running that. And she had to take it because she really sensed that she needed to grow beyond where she was. And now as a small, very successful entrepreneur and business owner, I can't compare to being a part of a team that big

running an organization. This is the type of organization that has corporate retreats every quarter, right? That's what I'm talking about, right? So it wasn't that she was unhappy. In fact, she told me she can make more with me. So money was not the issue. And it was just more about, she wanted to be a part of something bigger to gain that experience. That's hard to fight against. I mean, I gave her every opportunity and I want to show her love and give her off to the next opportunity she has. But man, that's brutal. I mean, literally an A++++ player, she was running half of my company.

So now I'm going to end up, you know, having to solve for that challenge. And then this week, amongst so many other things, and I'm just giving you a few, I started having spasms in my chest, right? Like in my rib area. And it is, again, probably the second or third most painful thing. But what really drives me nuts is I cannot sleep because I can't breathe. So when I lay down, like my breathing hurts, right? Again, I bring this to tell you one thing. It's never puppy dogs and rainbows, whether it's personal or business. As much as you may see us out here, people you look up to and we show the good, there's tough times and bad times and challenging times.

And you need to embrace that challenge. The reason why I've lasted 15 years in this space is because I encourage the challenge. I embrace the challenge. I know it is coming. Whether it's the real estate market turning like it is right now and our marketing changing like it happened 75 days ago, et cetera. The personal pain, the stuff that I have to fight through every single day and I do not take drugs. I hate drugs. I don't like feeling like that. So I'm not going to take their Oxycontin and all the other stuff that they're going to try to prescribe me. I won't do it. And so that's a challenge in and of itself. So I have to endure the amount of pain. So I say all that to inspire

and encourage you guys. Like if you're just getting started and you're not getting deals that you want right now, keep going because it's about making massive offers. I'm a huge believer of the only way you fail is if you quit. That is the only way you fail. So you must keep going. If you are challenged to find the time in your day, if you're challenged physically right now, if you're challenged with having a job and wanting to build a business on the side, these are all challenges you need to be grateful for because there are billions of people that would trade their life for your life. And we need to have perspective around that.

And so again, I bring this up not to say, woe is Justin. Oh, we need to reach out to Justin. Is he going to be? I'm going to be great, everybody. I'm going to be better than ever. That's what I want you guys to realize. I embrace these challenges because I know I personally and in business will become better than ever before.

There are things I can do in my personal life physically and working out that I personally and in business will become better than ever before. There are things I can do in my personal life, physically and working out that I can be in better condition than I was before. My pain and the herniated disc and the diaphragm cramps, for lack of a better word, all this kind of stuff, diaphragm spasms is what the doctor called it, are because of things that I'm doing, like sitting in the wrong chairs, right? Sleeping in the wrong bed, sitting in planes all the time. There's things I can get better at, the business and the marketing. I encourage these challenges

and I hope you guys can look at challenges in a very similar way because if you head on, hit these challenges, you will become better on the other side. So you need to embrace those because if you decide to quit, then you ultimately are the failure. If you decide to give

up, that is ultimate failure. You need to keep going in spite of those challenges, right? For those real estate investors, if you're trying to get your first deal and you keep getting offers rejected, make more offers, keep going, make minor tweaks. I want to make sure you understand, regardless of the amount of success that you may see that I have in business, there are still challenges daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. I have to overcome them no matter what. Regardless of if you met me at a speaking engagement or whatnot, and you're like, man, Justin's got it all together. His life must be perfect. If you met me in the last 30 to 45 days, I've been in incredible excruciating pain. I just don't need to let everyone know because it doesn't do anyone good,

right? No one wants to hear about anyone complaining. So I keep putting a smile on my face and keep moving forward to try to make impact for you all. So hopefully this inspires, encourages, and motivates. If it does smash the like button, make sure you subscribe to my YouTube video.
