Today we’re kicking off 2025 with a special solocast of Sell With Authority designed just for you — agency owners striving to elevate your business and maximize your revenue.

In this episode, I share an inspiring story that’s all about grit, perseverance, and relentless focus. It’s the incredible journey of Sylvester Stallone — yes, the legendary Rocky and Rambo — who overcame staggering setbacks and rejection to become one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures.

Stallone’s story is a masterclass in following one course until success, or “F.O.C.U.S.” — a philosophy championed by John Lee Dumas on the Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast.

From enduring over 1,500 rejections to navigating immense personal hardship, Stallone’s unwavering commitment to his vision is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when you refuse to give up.

Relentless F.O.C.U.S. and dogged determination can turn dreams into reality.

Whether 2024 has been triumphant or tough for your agency — this episode offers a dose of inspiration and practical insights to make 2025 your best year yet!
