TYE NICHOLS | From Fairway Dreams to Mainstreet Reality

You ever seen an old house and think, "Man, I'd love to fix that up."? Or, an old truck, and imagine the day where you and your children would drive around in that thing? Or, maybe an old project you've been meaning to finish but never got around to it? My guest today, Tye Nichols, feels the same way. In fact, he's invested thousands of his own money to put into an abandoned golf course he's had visions of reviving. Today, we talk about his dream of reviving his golf course, Fairway Fields. We talk about finally believing in yourself, casting vision so other people will believe in you, overcoming doubters on your path, what to do when times get tough, and whether or not to "sell out" when it comes to chasing a dream.
