10 seconds.
That's how long Damon's last fight was.
He lost.
On national TV.
That setback caused him to lose his spot in a Tournament for $1M.
Yet, he came back home and dusted himself off like the champion he is.
Damon (@DamonTheLeech) Jackson won the LFA Welterweight Title when he beat UFC Legend Leonard Garcia with an undefeated 10-0 record and has now gone 6-3 in his last 9 fights. Each time, he's come back stronger and more experienced that the last competition. The ebbs and flows of the fight game are like the ebbs and flows of the business world, a dynamic and ever changing competitive landscape with high stakes and pressure at every turn.
We dive into the mindset of a fighter, describing the "precision-focus" the mind creates after hearing the bolt lock the cage door shut with a trained assassin on the other side of the cage. The ice-cold nerves you must have in order to compete at the highest level, and embrace your opponent when it's all over as you pick each other up off the mat.

"I'll just put this piece of content on Facebook, Instagram, AND Twitter."
"It's ok, it takes too much time to write effective copy."
"I can just go on UpWork and find someone to write ads, for like $10-$15 per hour, TOPS."
Right.
Because, not having your description, the media, and the Call to Action out of sync has done wonders for your sales. We get it, hiring a consultant to help organize your content seems like a good idea, it's just too expensive.
Patrick Burt can help. He just didn't ask early enough when he needed help.
Those ads don't write themselves. Nor do the right words and images get placed in front of the eyeballs and ear holes of your customers. Take it from Patrick, who got his start in sales by hanging up during a cold call voicemail and has grown to build a successful agency in East Texas. Clients all over the country lean on him to effective capture, keep, and covert attention with his service.

Mental Health.
If you're not careful, one may misinterpret this to mean that one needs to be "fixed" when they talk through this.
Or, one may interpret correctly they should pay attention to this, especially during a stressful time or life-altering season of change.
Eric Burleson does exactly that is his book, Separating from Service and sits down with us today to share laugh about starting a business, raising money, spending the money without making enough money, and the subsequent dismissal from that company. That experience setup the framework for him to leverage that failure into a significant learning lesson and he wraps this episode with a valuable perspective that will help save marriages.

How would you qualify a “Comeback”?
