Phebe Trotman was our guest speaker at our Global Convention of Online Entrepreneurs in August of 2023. We had over 2300 attendees and she had just launched her new book "Never Quit on a Bad Day."

Phebe’s Game Plan for Greatness sessions were engaging and inspiring. We are very fortunate to have had her mentor our group to our first Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) medal in 23 years. Her wisdom and advice have shaped our character and taught us important life lessons that will carry on with us forever!

The Dream Big course is a short but powerful workshop that helped me connect deeply with my goals and dreams. Phebe’s approach goes beyond just creating a vision board—it’s about meaningful visualization and intentionality. With her guidance, I’ve learned to put real thought and emotion into my vision, making it a truly inspiring experience. Highly recommend!"

What a fun read! You get a glimpse of the lives of many successful individuals and how they overcome their obstacles and realize their own potential! It never gets old! I saw my journey, my struggles and I was reminded that at this moment I'm at the right place!

This book is a unique, sincere, and heartfelt tool that inspires us to never quit on a bad day. Phebe introduces us to individuals who share their successes and struggles to encourage us all to fight our fears. It is not an over-the-top motivational cheerleader book but rather an optimistic and realistic nudge to follow our dreams and appreciate that fear is a natural part of achieving those dreams and navigating life.

As a naturopathic doctor, I resonate with the vibe of this book because these amazing individuals always promote kindness, helping others, and expressing gratitude.

The Reflections on Resilience exercises that Phebe offers are straightforward and thought-provoking. On a personal note, I was in a place that needed a push and some reconnection with my craft, and this book provided exactly that!

Thank you for taking me on this journey, and I am excited to share this book with my community.

Phebe’s “The Power of Our Words” workshop was a great mental training session to identify limiting beliefs and receive practical tools to eradicate negative thoughts and replace them with empowering words. I saw shifts in attendees’ mindsets happening in real time. What a great way to energize, inspire, and motivate!

Loved this book. Truly inspiring stories that provide real life examples of people overcoming and achieving their goals. Easy and practical reading for whatever season of life you’re in. Exactly what I needed during these uncertain times.

- Will

Never Quit on a Bad Day is brilliant! The stories of determination, clarity, resilience, strength, and relationships are inspiring.

Yesterday, I woke up feeling very overwhelmed, knowing what I needed to accomplish for the day. As I was finishing up the book, there was a story or even a sentence that I needed to hear at that very moment. When things got tough during the day, I kept repeating to myself, "Don't quit, don't quit on a bad day." I made it through the day, and I will carry that same mantra forward today!

I also really enjoyed the actionable steps at the end of each chapter as they provide an opportunity for reflection and clarity. These exercises helped me get unstuck and never quit on a bad day!! I will be gifting this book to team members, colleagues, family, and friends.
