Spiritual and Physical Health

Even after Rob kicked drugs, lost weight, and got his career on track through a series of stacked actions, one thing was still missing. God was calling him into a deeper relationship. Rob started with studying the book The Purpose Driven Life, and then gradually became more deeply active in his local church. Only through pursuing the God who was pursuing him all along did Rob truly move on from his former life. Rob’s spiritual health – his walk with Jesus Christ – is the cement that holds everything together.

Rob also detailed his weight loss journey. Over six months, he shed 70 lbs by transforming his thinking and habits. Truthfully, Rob sometimes slips back into some of his old eating and inactivity traps. When that happens, he gets back on the horse and creates a new wave for his physical health.

Career Momentum: Using Your Advantages

Rob hearkens back to his days as a service writer in an auto repair shop. His wife Claudia also worked in the front of house. While this provided them a good living, they knew God had more in store for them. They leveraged their Advantages, taking as many night classes as they could on real estate and business ownership. Stacking action, the degrees and certificates started piling up. Eventually, they owned one auto repair shop, then another, until five shops filled their portfolio.

At the same time, they were flipping houses and dipping their toes into multifamily real estate investments. As they learned how to increase their Advantages in property investing, they soon realized their next phase involved selling the auto service centers and concentrating solely on their properties.

Rob Rowsell reviews Chapter 1 of his award winning book Addicted to Life! Before he became a successful real estate investor, Rob lived a life of substance abuse on the streets. For the process of change to start, he first decided that he had to be done with that life.

You must be done if you want to walk through the doors to a new life.Are You Ready To Change? You Must Tell Yourself, “I Have Got To Be Done!”

The series starts with Rob deep in the throes of his drug addled, prison bound lifestyle. He shares photos of his mug shots. His old beat up Geo Prism also make the slideshow. Those pictures remind him of how far he has come.

When he walked into his parole officer’s office, he had made the resolution that his life had to change. Though the crack pipe resting in his shirt pocket was still warm, he had never believed anything so strongly. Something told the parole officer that he deserved one last chance to get clean. She declared him a free man, as long as he got a sponsor and completed rehab.

It turned out that last chance what all Rob needed. Since that day, God has guided Rob through the many steps detailed in ATL. Today, he runs a successful real estate investing business. The Lord has used Rob’s story to help countless others since he took that first step. Are you ready to make that change, too?
