How Natalie's Mindset of Perseverance Helped Her Fight Cancer (And Win)

March 17, 2020

About This Episode

Today’s episode of the 7 Figure Flipping podcast is a bit different.

There’s a lot of fear and uncertainty in the world right now…

So today, I want to share a message of hope.

One of my best friends from high school, Natalie Hennes, went through something that shook her world a couple years ago…

She’s always been a stellar athlete.

In high school, she played soccer and basketball and ran track.

Later she worked in sports marketing and coached soccer, and got into personal training.

In the summer of 2017, she was in the best shape of her life—eating well, exercising, coaching, and training.

Then, out of nowhere, she was diagnosed with oral cancer.

Oral cancer is one of the more dangerous forms of cancer.

On average, it has a 40% fatality rate.

Within a matter of days, Natalie found herself fighting a battle she never imagined she would face.

I asked her to share her story on the podcast today, for a few reasons…

First, everyone is going through something. Knowing that others have fought battles (and won) gives us the courage and the inspiration to push through.

Second, you can take the lessons from this episode and apply them to anything in your life, including the challenges you face in your business.

And third, most importantly…

…one of our 7 Figure Runway members was recently diagnosed with cancer.

I want him to know we have his back and we’re supporting him and thinking of him.

I want this episode to serve as a lightning rod for the 7 Figure Flipping community to build each other up now and in the future.

That’s what families do.

So with that said, let’s dive in to Natalie’s story of perseverance!
