Much of life is out of our control. Often we are in situations where our level of control is small, but the impact of not having control is potentially large. And these moments can challenge our character, hamper our forward progress, or just be incredibly frustrating.
This week, we talk about how you can grasp control from the hands of defeat. How you can stay proactive in these situations where you have little influence, and by doing so, learn how to increase your influence in seemingly impossible situations.
To understand these ideas in action, we hear a powerful story from celebrity nutrition and fitness expert JJ Virgin. Her story shows how this approach to control can literally save a life. And the host of the Entrepreneurs & Coffee podcast, Brendan Hufford, shares some of his thoughts.
Celebrity nutrition expert and Fitness Hall of Famer JJ Virgin teaches clients how to break through food and carb intolerances so they can finally lose the weight to transform their health and their lives. JJ is a prominent TV and media personality, and also speaks regularly (Having shared the stage with notables including TD Jakes, Tony Robbins, and Brendon Burchard). JJ is the author of four NY Times bestsellers: The Virgin Diet, The Virgin Diet Cookbook, JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet, and JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet Cookbook. Her latest book, Miracle Mindset, shows warrior moms how to be strong, positive leaders for their families, while exploring the inspirational lessons JJ learned as she fought for her own son’s life.
Brendan believes more in results than buzzwords. He doesn't have an MBA from a famous university, because like most entrepreneurs, he learned about business by putting some skin in the game and starting his own company. Previously, Brendan was a teacher for eight years, an assistant principal for two, and is passionate about teaching everything he knows. He's currently the SEO team lead at an awesome Chicago marketing agency and the founder of Photo MBA. Check out his YouTube channel.
