"Stay Coached" Host on How He Overcame Adversity to Achieve Success
Lightworker's original web series "Stay Coached" offers advice on how to overcome adversity, and achieve personal goals. The series host Nathan Pirtle explains his advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
"I was able to overcome adversity by fully being able to take responsibility for my actions," said Pirtle. "I realized that everything going on in my life was a direct reflection of the decisions I made." Pirtle was in an out of jail between the ages of 20 and 25. Pirtle moved to Los Angeles with just $400 in his pocket and in 2013 he launched his very own company "Work With the Coach."
"Take big leaps of faith, and don't wait on someone to give you an opportunity. You have to act," says Pirtle. "By biggest point is to just start, create a plan, and figure out where exactly you want to go."
