015 | Anthony Trucks Shows Us How Taking BIG Risks Can Help Grow Your Business

Sep 8, 2017

On the show today, we have Anthony Trucks, the founder of Trust Your Hustle, which is a message and a method that helps people change their lives and businesses. Anthony has had an incredible life, going from foster care, to the NFL to eventually becoming a successful entrepreneur, and in today’s interview he shares some really juicy information, he hasn’t shared anywhere else before.

Anthony knew that when he was finished in the NFL, he wanted to open a gym in his home town. He took the interests he already possessed and planned on utilizing them, by creating a giant gym. He liked athletics, enjoyed working out and had a degree in kinesiology, he felt that opening his dream gym was a no-brainer.

This risk of creating his gym became scary, when after 9 months in business he received an eviction notice from his landlord because he hadn’t been able to pay rent for the last 3 months and only had 2 weeks to come up with the money.

Anthony had to take a good hard look at what he was going to do to turn his whole situation around. He had a couple of options, stay in business and find a solution or go into bankruptcy and find a job. It was a pivotal moment for him.

Anthony shares all of the details of his incredible story in this latest episode! It’s one you absolutely do NOT want to miss.
