06 - Don't Hope, Decide!

In this episode of the Next-Level Living Podcast, we get to know the cast a little bit more. We go into the rough times that held Mike back from being successful. We go into depth about how many are quitting before they even fail. This is what will separate the successful from those who never learn from their failures, and we learn what it takes to be counted among the successful. Being successful isn’t as easy as it may seem from the outside, many times the successful are going through the same things as those who don't learn from their failures, but they succeed despite their failures simply because they decided not to take “no” for an answer.
