My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain. It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/oobo_b... - cs What if the people who told you no weren't protecting you at all? What if they were protecting THEMSELVES from the discomfort of watching you try something they never dared? The gatekeepers never guard the gate for your benefit. They stand there because they can't bring themselves to walk through it. In today’s episode, I’m giving you the raw truth about what it takes to come back when everyone counts you out. From Wall Street to laundromats, from golden handcuffs to real freedom, this is the story of how the chip on your shoulder becomes your greatest asset and why the loneliest moments are where everything gets built. You'll learn: The ladder trap and how to know if you're climbing against the wrong building The Mitt Romney lesson on why you don't have to leave your job to win big Why cynics get to be right but optimists get to be rich Why money is the sword of the 21st century and how to wield it The comeback playbook from Michael Jordan, Dana White, and Sylvester Stallone If you've ever been denied, rejected, or pushed away, this episode is your counter punch. Because the only person who gets to decide when your comeback starts is you. ___________ 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:20 The Chip on Your Shoulder: Why Being Counted Out Is Your Advantage 00:01:17 The Ladder Trap: When Success Feels Like Failure 00:02:49 The Loneliness of Leaving: When Everyone Disappears 00:03:47 You Don't Have to Burn the Bridges: The Employee Path to Wealth 00:07:54 The Ugly Middle: Where Everything Gets Built 00:09:39 Buy Boring, Build Quietly: The Wealth Nobody Talks About 00:10:18 Cynics Get to Be Right, Optimists Get to Be Rich 00:13:14 The Comeback Is Personal: Your Laundromat Moment 00:14:01 Money Is the Sword of the 21st Century 00:17:57 The Michael Jordan Energy: Use Doubt as Fuel 00:19:58 The Stallone Story: Selling Your Dog to Buy Your Dream ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL 🎥 YouTube:    / @podcastbigdeal   📸 Instagram:   / bigdeal.podcast   📽️ TikTok:   / big.deal.pod   MORE FROM CODIE SANCHEZ 🎥 YouTube:    / @codiesanchezct   📸 Instagram:   / codiesanchez   📽️ TikTok:   / realcodiesanchez   OTHER THINGS WE DO 🌐 Our community: https://contrarianthinking.typeform.c... 📰 Free newsletter: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3XWLlZp 📚 Biz buying course: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3NhjGgN 🏠 Resibrands: https://resibrands.com/ 💰 CT Capital: https://contrarianthinking.biz/4eRyGOk 🏦 Main St Hold Co: https://contrarianthinking.biz/3YfGa8u
