Face Your Fear of Failure: An OG’s Advice on Overcome Obstacles


In this inspiring interview, you’ll learn how to not be affected by failure and let setbacks run off your back like water off a duck. You will also learn about a specific type of Vision Board called a Life Cycle and how Garry used one to accomplish everything on it in under 3 years. 

ABOUT GARRY 👴

Garry immigrated from a poor family in Germany to the US when he was 18 and later went on to build a successful networking marketing organization with 250 people in is down line. He did this while work more than full time at his regular job too. 


Now retired, Garry has opened up his heart and his home to those in need. 

We first met a few years ago when I was flat broke and depressed. Garry gave me a place to live and let me work off rent around the home until I was able to get back on my feet again. When my mother needed extra help with her dementia, he let her move in too! We currently rent the upstairs of his home and he continues to be of major service to us both, as well as many others in our community. 

Garry empowered me to pursue my dreams again and now I’d like him to share his wisdom with you too.
