EFR 316: How to Become More Resilient and Successful by Delaying Gratification with Dr. Saman Bakhtiar

Look up the word 'resilient' and you will find a picture of Dr. Saman Bakhtiar, DC. After fleeing war-torn Iran in the 1980's as a small child with his mother he was thrown into the school of hard knocks. Once he flipped the switch and decided he was in charge of his future and not his circumstances he built an empire. Then lost it. Then built it again, and he has not stopped succeeding, giving, and leading now even during a global pandemic and his national franchise of gyms are shut down. We discuss how he used resiliency, purpose, and the ‘time vs money’ dilemma to build then rebuild his business from scratch. In addition, he conveys the vital role mindfulness played in achieving his successes. Sam Bakhtiar is a doctor of chiropractic, CEO of The Camp fitness centers, author, world-class bodybuilder, and multi-millionaire entrepreneur. 'When the going is good, it won't always be good, and when things are bad they won't always be bad. When you're up prepare to go down and when you're down have faith that you will go up.' - Dr. Saman Bakhtiar   Connect with Sam @samanbakhtiar Connect with Chase @chase_chewning   Ever Forward Radio is made possible by our proud partners!
