When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose

On this episode of Converge, you will hear how having nothing to lose enabled Vincent to take advantage of rare opportunities.

The power of truly wanting something

Life wasn t easy for Vincent. The Job, wife, and Kids all demanded his time leaving him little room to pursue his dreams. Yet, he knew he wanted to be a photographer and provide through that line of work, so he never gave up. When you truly want something, you find ways to make it happen instead of letting life get in the way. Listen to this episode of Converge to hear how Vincent made time for his passion.

Is humility required when building a business

Life is tough, no one can argue that fact. Building a business can be even tougher. When everything seems to be against you it can help to have some humility. Coming to a place of accepting that you don t have all the answers and may need to ask for help can enable you to break through into success. In this episode of Converge Dane dives into the struggles of building a business and how humility helped Vincent Pugliese succeed.

If you are not where you want to be, it s probably your fault

It is easy to look ahead and long for what is to come. That raise, that vacation, that place of freedom where you can pursue your passions. Often times looking ahead can distract us from what needs to be done now in order to get to that desired place. If you re not where you want to be, it s probably your fault. In this episode of Converge Vincent Pugliese shares his struggle to attain freedom and how he came to grips with the fact that the only one holding him back was himself.
