How We Heal with Ryan Pink

Navigating the Challenges of a Business Breakup (Brian Dixon)

Ryan Pink Season 1 Episode 52

Brian Dixon shares his story of a business breakup and the challenges that came with it. When his team's online business grew rapidly during Covid, the cracks in the foundation became apparent. Hoping to sell the company, the deal fell through, leading to disappointment and uncertainty for everyone. 

He shares how he decided to make an offer and take over the company himself, and the challenges that came up after that, including the departure of many of his team and staff.

Despite these setbacks, Brian remained determined to keep the business afloat and provide for his family. He relied on his faith and made tough decisions, such as inviting a controversial speaker to a conference, which led to both support and criticism. 

Through it all, Brian learned the importance of clarifying his target audience and staying true to his vision. He discusses the challenges he faced in his business and how he had to shift his focus to serving his true audience. He talks about the significant drop in members and the financial struggles he experienced while trying to move forward. However, he learned how to use this as an opportunity to rebuild and diversify his income streams. 

Brian emphasizes the importance of starting with your people and being clear about what you stand for and against. He shares how his hard story has become a hope story and encourages others to embrace their own journey.
