My life was almost perfect. I had an attractive wife and a wonderful son. I loved them both. I was developing a business that had the potential to make us a lot of money. I owned a house in southern California. The mortgage was paid by rent on a downstairs apartment. I owned a vacation home on the east coast. One house was within a mile of the Pacific Ocean. The other was within a mile of the Atlantic Ocean.
That's how I saw my life in March of 2007. It began to unravel in April. By February 2011, it had all been taken away, all but the little boy. None of the rest of it mattered in the least when I weighed it against my relationship with my son. Still, my change in circumstances turned every other part of my life upside down.
I wasn't broke but I was nearly broken. I had myself and the love of an amazing child as I embarked on the task of rebuilding our lives. I knew those two things and a little help from some wise and compassionate people were all I needed.
I saw a therapist during the darkest days at the beginning of my journey back. I told her I knew there was light at the end of the tunnel but I couldn't see even a faint glimmer of it. Faith alone convinced me there was a brighter future than what I was capable of seeing at that time. I knew I didn't get to this place overnight so getting back wouldn't happen quickly either.
This book represents what I discovered from many hours of reflection, research and the counsel of some great people. It's broken down into a step-by-step program. I believe anyone who needs to make a Spectacular Comeback from any setback, large or small, can apply these lessons to his or her life and experience stellar results.
Don't confuse anything in this book with psychology, sociology or any other professional discipline. The material is simply an account of what I learned, organized into a self-guided course. I hope my experiences benefit other life travelers as they embark on their Spectacular Comebacks.
