If the pandemic shut down your multimillion-dollar business, no one would blame you for having a meltdown. But Bryce Wilson allowed himself only two minutes of wallowing before he started looking for the opportunity in his circumstances.
Today, Bryce is traveling the country in an RV with his girlfriend and building a second successful business, creating a new reality that is even better than pre-COVID times.
Bryce is the 24-year-old Founder and CEO of Ticket Rescue and TRT Virtual, two online startups that are shaking up their respective industries. He started Ticket Rescue as a college junior, and three years later, it had grown into a multimillion-dollar company. When the coronavirus paused that business, Bryce created TRT Virtual to help personal brands generate high-quality leads and grow their following on Instagram.
On this episode of Destined to Be, Bryce joins us to share his accidental journey to becoming an entrepreneur and explain what inspired him to build his businesses. He walks us through his thought process when the pandemic shut down the events industry, describing how he made the mindset shift (very quickly!) from pity party to opportunity. Listen in for Bryce's insight on taking a disciplined but not structured approach to building good habits and learn how you can STOP blaming back luck and START creating a new reality for your life.
