How Keith Cunningham Lost 100 Million Dollars and Built it Back
The Undefeated Marketing Podcast
The Cockpit of a Successful Business
If you were blindfolded and asked to drive from your home to the grocery store, a hundred percent would have a wreck. The problem is not that you couldn't visualize the path - it was because you couldn't see where you were going. How do I take two years worth of accounting and get it condensed down into a half a day? It all came from asking a very simple question. If there's a 100 percent probability of a wreck, if I can't see, then what are the optics in my businesses cockpit so that I minimize the likelihood of having a wreck?"
Imagine making $100 million dollars before 39 years old and then losing it all…
But then building it back…
That’s Keith Cunningham’s story, and this is why he is literally the greatest business coach who has ever lived, and I’m honored to have him on this week’s Undefeated Marketing episode.
While 99.9% of business influencers tell you to 100x your business every year – Keith Cunningham does the opposite….In our chat, Keith shares his mindset on how not to lose all of your money in the first place and what you can do as a business leader to “think” about making smarter decisions. This feels especially important in today’s volatile world.
My favorite question that Keith has ever asked me (which helped me optimize the performance of how we serve our clients)?
“How much money would you have if you never lost a client?”
Good one, right?
In 2015, I heard Keith on stage with Tony Robbins for the first time and was blown away by his business acumen and mindset. All the money I invested in Keith’s mentorship has produced returns I never thought possible. Why? Because he helped me avoid super dumb mistakes that would have bankrupted my business. I’m so excited to share Keith’s smart insights with you on this episode, and I highly recommend you make time for it because what Keith says will propel your business to another level.
