#157: My 9-Figure Blue Collar Journey Part 2 // Chris Lee // Next Level Pros Podcast
Welcome to a new episode of Next Level Pros! In this episode, Chris shares the raw, unfiltered story of his first major business failure, the lessons learned from bankruptcy, and how he rebuilt his career and mindset.

Highlights:
“Take everything you believe are going to be your expenses and at least double it, sometimes triple it.”
“There is almost always a way out… Go ask for help. Quit being prideful.”
“Do what you’re physically able to do, not what you’re mentally able to do.”
“The best flattery you could ever give me is something that I 100% know that I did, and it was amazing.”
