498 - From Setback to Success: Our Vital Need for a Trusted Ally

We've interviewed many guests who've told us their inspiring stories of overcoming adversity. In nearly all these tales, there persists two common themes—the guest had a mentor who played a critical role in helping them come out the other side, and they were unwilling to give up. This week, Allie Saleh—business and financial consultant, sales expert, speaker, coach, and podcaster—shares his story. Not surprisingly, his saga about building his own company, the Invested American, also includes references to the mentors he's had in his life and his ability to persevere. Listen to hear about the single value proposition that allowed Allie to attract agents without recruiting, find out the hard truth about being accountable when your or your team's motivation wanes, and discover the most beneficial place to put your focus and the action you should when faced with a challenge.
