Every entrepreneur expects to fail at some point — it’s part of the process. But what happens when you fail big? Flops uncovers how outrageous failure can spark learning, inspire bold new ideas, lead to surprising redemptions, and offer a chance to build something better. Join hosts Karen Beattie and Ray Sylvester as they talk to ambitious entrepreneurs about the failures — and rebounds — that shaped them into who they are today.
#004 Trudy Rankin spent 15 years in the corporate world, but despite the success she had, she found herself feeling unfulfilled. With a strong desire to serve and an innate entrepreneurial spirit, she finally struck out and started her own business, helping people with special needs find jobs and make money through online businesses.
Everything was going well. Her business was consulting with a big-name international company to help build a program to support people with special needs, and everything seemed to be falling into place.
Then, everything fell apart. What came next was a year of struggle and uncertainty, all because of one small, overlooked detail. Today, Trudy shares her story: the satisfaction of finding her passion, the unexpected downfall, and what it took to claw her way back to success. Despite all this, Trudy maintains an attitude of positivity and self-reliance that truly inspires.
