“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

First a disclaimer:

No lemons were harmed in the manufacturing of this blog.

Now that the legal stuff is out of the way, let’s talk about this commonly used phrase.

I am not totally aloof to the intention here. It seems straight forward. When you have had a difficult time you have a few choices. One choice is to wallow in guilt and depression. I have been there myself. I can remember the feeling I felt after my first retail endeavor folded in 2009. The shame of that very public failure left me professionally traumatized for quite sometime. However, there is another option. Another perspective is to take that moment of difficulty and allow it to be the fuel for something amazing!

That was easy enough to explain…but there is more.

What if we took those difficulties and earned revenue from it?

You see, as the founder of Genius Academy™, I have done just that and show others how to do it as well.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But I can show you how to create the lemonade stand! — Asa Leveaux

To better understand where I am going with this think about the best speaker you have ever encountered. This person may have been an educational speaker, motivational speaker or even someone in the faith based community. I am sure that one thing that they did was tell you a portion of their story. During that time you felt closer to them…you felt closer to the lemons which had been thrown at them.

Now think of this…

Are they not making money from the lemons in their life?

THEY CERTAINLY ARE!

That’s one thing that we do well at Genius Academy™, we show you not just how to make lemonade but how to live a life from those same lemons.
