About this listen

Despite Popular Opinion, Life’s NOT a Beach.

The truth is, everyone has pain, and the next wave of adversity is coming. Author Allan Blain knows this firsthand. On the outside many people believed he was doing just fine—great job, beautiful wife and kids, and a growing bank account. At the same time, the riptide of personal addictions, family tragedies, and unthinkable loss, pulled him under, threatening his safety and sanity. These “waves” forced him to reevaluate everything: his calling, purpose, and the very definition of success. Allan emerged with a simple path to build a “boat” that will withstand the storms and succeed despite life’s challenges.

In this book, you’ll discover how to:

  • Stop settling and give up just treading water personally and professionally.
  • Craft a compelling vision big enough to help you rise above the crests.
  • Seize the abundant life you were created for so you can ride high on the waves.

Critic Reviews

"Life’s Hard, Succeed Anyway is a field guide for navigating whatever life throws at you." (Robby Gallaty, PhD, Pastor, Long Hollow Church)

"Allan bravely shares so people who want to reach their highest potential, while navigating the ups and downs of life, find success that only comes when you embrace it and take action." (Joyce Martin Sanders, The Martins, 8 Dove Awards and 3 Grammy Nominations)

"If you want to be successful, read books by people who are actually successful. As a guy who knows Allan personally…he’s the poster child of success." (John Crist, Comedian, author of the best-selling book, Delete That)

Real, Raw, & Relentlessly Encouraging!

Life’s Hard, Succeed Anyway is exactly what I needed—real talk from someone who’s lived through serious hardship and came out stronger. His vulnerability and faith-based approach gave the book depth, but what really stood out was how practical and empowering it was. It’s not just inspiration—it’s action. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like life’s just too much, this book will remind you that you’re not alone and that you absolutely can rise above it. Highly recommend—Allan’s narration makes it even more personal.
