Community Highlights: Meet Quentin McCain

Today we’d like to introduce you to Quentin McCain.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I grew up right here in Phoenix to a single mother. Despite my mom working very hard and always being loving and supportive, I still ended up hanging out with the wrong crowds as a teen. I was fighting, hanging out with the gangsters, and all of the things that came along with that. I feel like I was speeding down a highway to nowhere good!

One day I got a HUGE wake-up call. I was driving my car after a long night and I fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into a light pole. That night I broke my femur in half which needed a rod placed, I fractured 3 ribs which punctured my left lung, chipped my right hip, and had internal bruising. What I realized is that I hadn’t just dozed off at the wheel that night… I had been sleeping through life and it was now time to take the wheel and be the one in control of my future and my destiny.

A couple of years later, I started working with physical therapy with burn patients in the very hospital I received physical therapy after my accident. I loved working with the patients and helping them overcome their physical obstacles as I watched them improve. One thing I noticed during my 8 years in the burn unit is that a lot of my patients gave up on their goals and dreams due to their circumstances and physical limitations.

This really hurt my heart because I know how strong the human spirit is when the focus is directed on what we CAN do so I started going into patients’ rooms when I wasn’t doing physical therapy and just talking to them about their goals, aspirations, and vision of the life they want when they got out of the hospital, my goals was to show them that life was not over.

In short, I saw amazing results when their focus was shifted to their goals and what is possible which made piqued my interest in what it is I can do with helping people with their mindsets instead of their bodies.

Over the next decade, I dedicated my life to figuring out what creates the biggest mindset shifts to reach goals and get rid of negative beliefs and the blocks that hold us back in life. I studied everything I could get my hands on including Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which I found to be very effective and still use to this day.

Fast forward to now and I have been able to c0-write a #1 best selling book titled “Think on These Things”, speak to thousands of people across many different platforms, and personally perform over 1,000 coaching sessions for business owners, sales professionals, athletes, and other high performers.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. I guarantee you, I could have quit 100 times if I had allowed myself to.

One of the biggest struggles was wanting to see results faster and not realizing that if I had gotten the results faster I wouldn’t have learned all of the things that I needed to learn because of the failures. Another big struggle was people not believing in me.

Oftentimes, it is those closest to you that will attempt to put their own limitations on you. I remember having a co-worker that told me to be an author, successful speaker and coach were almost like trying to be an actor and that I should just choose another route.

I had to understand that even though these things come from those closest to us like friends, family, or even significant others, these are their limitations and have nothing to do with our vision and what we are capable of.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

There are so many great apps, books, and podcasts out there as I am always learning and growing myself.

An app that stands out to me right now is called “Insight Timer”, which is an app used for meditation. A couple of books I am reading at the time of this interview are “Crazy Faith” by Michael Todd and “The 12 Week Year” by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington.
