Benjamin Hardy

So I served a church mission from 2008 to 2010.

And going on that experience was very transformational for me.

I grew up in a really intense environment.

But ever since I came home from that experience, in 2010, I wanted to be a professional author.

From 2015 to 2017, I grew enormously as a blogger and was able to get a book deal and be able to start providing for my family.

So essentially, I got a multi-six-figure book deal to write a book.

I'm living my dreams.

It all happens way faster than I thought.

into early 2018.

Honestly, it was March of 2018.

The book comes out.

And I did have way in my head, like I'd built everything up in my head that it needed to be a certain level.

It needed to be a New York Times bestseller.

And I admittedly as well, threw so much money at it.

And so, yeah, it didn't hit the goal.

And for probably four or five months, I was in a very deep depression, very deep slump.

So the gap in the gain is something I learned from Dan Sullivan.

I read his little book on the subject.

Maybe actually it was in 2018.

I read his little book and I was still blogging back then.
