Chris Patrick - About - Stepping Stones to Success

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Chris Patrick

I've been there friend, and I know your struggle. You're frustrated, you’re disappointed, and maybe even a little pissed off. The life you’re living is not the one you envisioned. I was there too.

But through trials and tribulations, I’ve managed to literally turn my personal disasters into the life of my dreams.

Today I’m blessed to coach and mentor people from all over the world teaching them how to turn their failures into the stepping stones to success.

And I want to do the same for you.

I always believed I was destined to make an impact in the world.

When I was a kid, I had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. So I did all the right things. Went to school, got good grades, stayed out of trouble, and practiced baseball everyday.

Then, when I was 12 years old, I was wrongly accused and arrested for a horrible crime I didn’t commit. It was devastating.

The charges were eventually dropped. But the damage it had done to my fragile reputation had already been done.

I quit team sports altogether. And my dreams of turning pro died along with it.

My life’s direction was changed forever.

I desperately wanted to be a successful person, but every decision I made from that point on seemed to be the wrong one.

I was fired. I was divorced. I lost my home. I lost two businesses. And I spent the better part of my adult life living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Constantly worrying about money and my longstanding lack of it.

Pissed off at the world because I wasn’t getting what I thought I deserved.

At 43 years old, I had an epiphany.

What if I could take all of my past failures, mistakes and setbacks and turn them into a springboard for something great?

Honestly, I didn't have many options. My life to that point had been a series of misfortunes, bad luck, miserable timing and poor decisions. Most of which seemed out of my control.

But I knew I was destined for a better life.

I decided to look back at every failure I had experienced and put it under a microscope. Dissect it and harvest the nuggets of truth buried deep within. No matter how painful it was.

I was no longer just a ‘rider on the storm’ of life. But I was finally in control of my own destiny. I was now the creator.

What a powerful feeling.

Why I Do It

I have a passion for coaching because I feel it's my life's purpose to help people and give back. And I know that if I could dig myself out of the shit pile, than you can too.

There are 2 types of people...

The people that WISH things were better and HOPE that somehow life will improve on its own.

And the people that take action, are willing to do the work necessary, and are eager to learn how to do it.

Which sounds more appealing to you?

Right now many of us feel trapped and stuck where we are. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You have a greatness inside and it’s dying to get out.
