Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Burks Jr.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Michael. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Late in my life, I started realizing I was a complete mess. I was unemployed, facing reposition and contemplating bankruptcy. My confidence was shot and I was ready to give up. Every day, I struggled just to get out of bed and every morning the alarm clock would ring and I knew I should get up but anxiety rushed in and I’d hit the snooze button instead. I was defeated by my own defeated thinking and always told myself… how was I supposed to achieve anything? I mean look at my life.
I was the son of two drug and alcohol abusing parents.
I was homeless and a high school dropout at 17 years old.
I was didn’t know my real father until I was 31.
I was mentally, emotionally and physically abused well into my adult years.
I was an underachiever and fearful that I’d never amount to anything as people told me.
It was not until my wife starting getting ill and my 18-year-old daughter made that call to inform me she was having my grandchild that I made a decision to LIVE IN PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE. Now…
I am a 2x award-winning author.
I am a speaker.
I the owner of my own consulting company.
I am a father and husband.
I am a success.
I am Mike Burks.
Has it been a smooth road?
I have been through.
Separation from my children in Chicago.
The death of my uncle (whom I was very close with).
The death of my mother and brother in law in a 2-year span.
The brink of divorce.
Cancer scare with my 18-year-old daughter.
2 repositions.
Closed doors.
A lot of no’s.
And more as I write this.
