This can increase brand loyalty. Hurdles are thrown in our way to give us an opportunity to think harder and improve what we are trying to accomplish. A winner is a loser who tried one more time. All we are, are our stories; it is our stories that get us to where we are today. Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/B8MAM0RaJnk
