The Power of Being an Eternal Student- Greg McCollum

The One Thing Business Podcast

For entrepreneurs, being on the lookout for new ideas is essential to staying competitive and innovative in an ever-changing business landscape. The commitment to lifelong learning is key, as the world evolves and new challenges and opportunities arise. Entrepreneurs who embrace the mindset of being perpetual students are better equipped to adapt, grow, and seize fresh opportunities. This pursuit of knowledge not only fosters creativity but also helps them stay ahead of trends and anticipate the needs of their market. By continually learning and seeking out new perspectives, they cultivate resilience and the ability to innovate, which are vital traits for long-term success.
In the face of the perfect storm: The real estate market crash, a struggling law practice, and devastating personal tragedies nearly brought Greg McCollum to the brink of failure. However, armed with his passion, value-based upbringing, and a commitment not to fail, Greg did what few in his position would do: he kept going. When faced with insurmountable odds—where most would crumble, retreat, and accept failure—Greg persevered. He kept his eye on the future and found a way to overcome impossible odds.
Today, Greg runs a seven-figure criminal defense law firm in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He works only seventeen hours a week, takes regular vacations, travels with his two daughters, and enjoys life on his own terms. Greg’s journey embodies the American Dream: overcoming debilitating struggles and an often-wavering commitment, he persevered until he succeeded. Greg shares his story in his new autobiographical book: From Chaos to Control - A Criminal Defense Lawyer's Guide to Building an Abundant Life.
