REEL 6: Last time in the semi truck
It's hard to sit in the thing that cost you the most and not keep doing the math. Whether it was a business or a job, a loss like that tends to follow you around for a while. That math is real, and I'm not going to pretend it isn't. At some point, though, the better question is what you walked away knowing. I call that part the lesson before the blessing, and you only get it if you're willing to go looking for it. So I want to hear from you: what's one thing a loss taught you that a win never could have? Put it in the comments, and read a few of the others while you're down there. Somebody in there is sitting in their own truck right now.
