Pull Up And Thrive with Stephen Capps
Many start their businesses seeking more flexibility and family time, but instead, they often feel overwhelmed by insurmountable work, stressed by growing responsibilities, burned out from long days and sleepless nights, and guilty for losing precious time with loved ones. I'm Stephen Capps, and I help overwhelmed business owners overcome adversity to achieve the life and business they desire. But my journey wasn't smooth. I started with a dream that quickly turned into a nightmare. In less than a year, I lost my wife to cancer, our largest customer, got remarried, and faced near financial ruin. I learned that hard work alone wasn't enough. Through trial and error, I made every mistake possible, but I turned my business around from the brink of bankruptcy to debt-free and thriving. In each episode, I'll share the nuts and bolts of running a successful blue-collar business. You'll gain practical insights and strategies to overcome adversity, avoid burnout, and build the life and business you want. Tune in for actionable advice that will propel your business forward, featuring Stephen Capps, the expert who transformed his own setbacks into success.
