Whether it\u2019s in life or your business, adversity isn\u2019t unique to one person\u2026everyone and every business has those moments. The question is: What drives you? Do you have a \u201cWHY\u201d that pushes you through adversity? When you have a \u201cWhy\u201d so deep that it drives you forward through any adversity, then you know that success is going to be a big part of your life. Andrew Samuel was born into humble circumstances in India, but today he is the CEO of LinkBank Corp because he internalized his sense of purpose from a young age. Every step of the way in his journey, Andrew knew he had to apply himself because his dreams weren\u2019t going to happen overnight. He really believes that having a chip on his shoulder would\u2019ve held him back. Even as he worked jobs that others might consider beneath themselves, Andrew approached them with grace and hard work. He saw it this way: One day, you might be serving them, and the next day, they might be serving you. Many people credit luck for their success, but Andrew believes that it\u2019s just seizing the opportunities that show up in front of you. I used to hear this funny phrase and think it was true that, \u201cIn America, money grows on trees\u201d. Of course, it doesn\u2019t, but the opportunities in America are out there for you, as long as you work hard and do it intentionally. with that said, listen closely to the top 3 talents Andrew says you need to succeed.  One of the really cool parts about Andrew\u2019s company is that he has a Chief Cultural Officer whose sole job is to create the company culture and protect it from outside forces. As a coach, I know that if I want my clients to do something, then I need to model that for them. If I want them to be on time, then I need to show up on time too. The idea that the culture should start at the top is a huge part of my coaching method too, and I loved that Andrew values this enough to create this position. You are not going to want to miss the end where Andrew shares his next big project which I believe will really revolutionize the small banking industry.
