“The Power of Setbacks” is an inspirational journey highlighting the author's struggles with cancer and how it unexpectedly led to an amazing new life. It’s all about the intersection of life and work, connecting with family, and redefining what really matters the most in life. “The Power of Setbacks” is filled with practical advice and insights on overcoming challenges, achieving your dreams, and creating your own success.

Their journey began as a distraction. After being diagnosed with cancer, the authors turned to garage and estate sales as a way to distract them from their harsh reality. The sales brought smiles to their faces, kept their minds from wavering with doubt, and over the course of their travels, infused their lives (and their home) with new and exciting objects that carried historical and personal meaning.

But as their house began to bust at its seams, they decided it was time to turn their collection into a business. The next few years were welcomed with sale after sale. And as they learned more, grew more, and dove deeper into the garage and estate sale world, they quickly realized they were onto something. And it was not just limited to garage sales.

“The Power of Setbacks” is the story of their journey. But more importantly, it is a resource guide to build your own small business and then scale it to amazing heights, all while having fun during the process.

Are you unhappy with your current job?

Are you ready to make a change?

Whatever the case may be, “The Power of Setbacks” is your handbook to create a new reality for you and your family.
