Today on Live with Bottleneck, we have Payton Wallace to talk about overcoming adversity and using it as an advantage. Payton is a young entrepreneur and is also the producer and founder of the Young Entrepreneur Success Network (Y.E.S. Network). With his achievements at an early age, we also talk about what “young entrepreneurship” is.

Using Adversity as Advantage

Many people think that starting a business at a young age has a lot of disadvantages. Payton had the motivation to prove otherwise. Additionally, he explains what is Y.E.S. Network and how he helps people through it.

“It’s about sharing with other people my age that although you might be looked upon or looked down upon because you’re young. I think that’s the greatest advantage that we have because we have time, we have energy, and we also have the opportunity to learn. It’s training and equipping young entrepreneurs.” – Payton Wallace

Overcoming Adversity

Payton shares his adversities and how he overcomes them. He decides to be transparent and share his experiences with bullying. Further, he tells us how he discovered his interest in technology. This led him to his first business – fixing and selling phones on eBay.

“We don’t have a lot of lives, we don’t have a ton of bills, we don’t have a ton of overhead or expenses because we’re at that stage right now where either we’re moving from our parent’s wing or just figuring out life. Now is the best time to mess up because we have the least amount of issues to hit us in the back end if we do and so.”  – Payton Wallace

Choosing Joy Over Sorrow

Payton shares that he sets daily tasks every day and spends the rest of the hours trying to figure out what else he can do. He also says that he still wants to have a lot of fun while he runs a business. Lastly, he shares a piece of advice through his experience with adversity when he lost something with sentimental value for him.

“When you choose that joy in your heart when adversity happens to you, at the end of the day, choosing joy, choosing forgiveness is going to be the best option because you will be blessed in the back end.” – Payton Wallace
