Scott Andrew watched 75% of his income vanish overnight. The beverage wholesale business he'd walked away from had been his financial security, and now it was gone. Most entrepreneurs would have panicked, pivoted desperately, or simply given up. Instead, Andrew set his alarm for 4:30 AM and started delivering newspapers while his wife returned to work as a flight attendant. This wasn't desperation-it was the beginning of a philosophy that would eventually build multiple Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies and transform thousands of lives. What separates those who crumble from those who rise? The answer lies not in avoiding adversity but in how you build your foundation before the storm arrives.
