Using Past Hardships as Fuel for Success with Todd Ault
Everyone has a past and maybe it’s not always filled with happy memories, but I believe that we can all learn and grow from our past. We can take our hardships, struggles, and trials and use those things to discover what we’re really made of. This is exactly what Todd Ault did when he decided that he was never going to be broke. Todd was raised by a single mom who, although she did everything she could for her family, found it difficult to get by. Money was scarce and nothing seemed to come easy. Seeing and experiencing financial troubles throughout his childhood, Todd made a promise to himself that he would do whatever it took to live a financially free lifestyle. So, he became highly motivated and is now a seasoned business professional, entrepreneur, and the Chief Executive Office and Chairman of http://www.ault.com/ (Ault & Company, Inc,) a private diversified holding company founded by Todd. Together, we dig into his powerful story and discuss how he trained himself to be in business, and the importance of finding the right partner in life who supports you and doesn’t hold you back from being the ultimate version of yourself.
