Are you feeling defeated by life's challenges? Meet Frank McKinney - a real estate artist, bestselling author, and philanthropist who has triumphed over adversity. Despite graduating high school with a 1.8 GPA and only having a one-way plane ticket to South Florida, Frank persevered by working hard, flipping houses, and eventually developing ocean front mansions.
But, his journey didn't stop there. Frank realized that he was missing something spiritually and started the Carryinghouse Project Foundation to provide housing to those in need. In his newest book, Adversitology, he shares his personal experience with chronic myeloid leukemia and outlines the importance of accepting and disidentifying from adversity.
Frank emphasizes the power of collaborating with experts and being a philanthropic capitalist. He combines the best of philanthropy and capitalism to fund his charity work in Haiti, where he builds self-sustaining villages.
Don't let adversity keep you down. Frank's story shows that anything is possible with hard work and determination. Remember to accept and disidentify from your challenges, collaborate with experts, and combine the best of philanthropy and capitalism to make a difference in the world.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
In life, you've got to learn to exercise your risk tolerance like a muscle. Eventually, it will become stronger and able to withstand greater pressure. The feeling of fear is nothing more than the thought. We experience fear when we think about taking a risk. Once we take the risk, the fear goes away. Don't let the sensation of fear that sets in once you think about taking a risk stop you.
