    About this ebook

    Life throws us many challenges which inevitably cause trauma. We live with the results of traumatic events. Those results play out in how we engage in business, relationships and life. Anxiety, fear, shame and struggle influence how we grow, evolve and live daily.
    Most of us resist the path of freedom even though the fight causes pain and suffering in every aspect of our lives. Being true to ourselves and rising above our old beliefs, childhood patterns, and our circumstances requires motivation, time, skills and support. With the right attitude and deepening strength, we can find the Resilience Within ourselves to live the life of our dreams.
    In this powerful, heartfelt message, Cameron Fancourt shares his personal experiences, hardships, traumas and betrayal. He shares the great learnings that resulted from his pursuit for success and money. He outlines how his pursuit left many aspects of his life in turmoil and eventually caused a breakdown that nearly cost him his life.
    Resilience Within is the culmination of years of experience, professional help and intentional change, resulting in a strong desire to support people around the globe who find themselves in similar circumstances. Cultivating resilience can improve your relationships, your business and your financial circumstances and empower you to become the best version of yourself. It can support you in living a life of abundance and freedom and strengthens your capacity to bounce back when the going gets really tough.

      Resilience Within - Cameron Fancourt

      Section I: Entrepreneurship

      Chapter 1 - Where Life Began

      Growing up in the suburbs of the Northern Beaches of Sydney, life was pretty simple as a kid. I loved to play with my street friends, spending day after day riding my bike, building billy-carts and being a social butterfly. I was a popular kid, befriending all the neighbours, both young and old.

      In my earlier years, life was perfect through those childʼs eyes. I was often referred to as a ‘happy little boy’, always greeting our family guests with a smile and a warm welcome. I loved having my siblings over for family dinners and remember those nights like they were yesterday. 

      Family

      My mother is a strong woman. We had to abide by very clear boundaries. Throughout life my mother and I have had a turbulent relationship. With strong views and boundaries, it was hard for me to connect with her at times. She loved and support us in ways that didn’t always nurture me the way I needed, but this was the best she knew how. As a super sensitive kid I needed deeper support for my emotional wellbeing and development. This wasn’t easy for me to explain so I began to find ways to just bury my true feelings and move along. I reached out for nurturing and love from my family however it was always hard to connect with them the way I needed. I tried so hard to gain the attention and love the way I yearned; however, I did not know the best way to ask for it the way I truly needed. It was sort of expected that my parents should just get it as I was a kid. I had no idea what I was feeling and why so if I had no idea, how was I supposed to express them. wasn’t always right. I often got confused when I would feel one thing to then be told it wasn’t necessarily that way and had to just get on with it. I had to except that my parents had to be right and ignored those feelings. I’ve always had very different values and beliefs to my parents. In fact, I think my values and beliefs have been very different to many people, but it took me years to figure that out. For years I tried to get my parents to see my viewpoint and fought tooth and nail to do so. I found it hard to get them to accept my flaws, which I then saw myself as this failure to them even if this wasn’t the case.

      My mother used to tell me ‘we are a family of survivors’. We were taught we must get on with life, look forward and be positive and strong. Being a super sensitive kid, which I still am today, it was not easy for me, particularly when I had so much deep self- doubt about myself. This ran deep and I was always trying to seek my parent’s approval for everything I did in life, small or large.

      My father was a soft, gentle, hard-working man. He always worked endless hours to provide for his family and his retirement. A fitness fanatic, we spent many weekends at the beach whilst he surfed, went for a run or watched Rugby. He traveled a lot for his work and was a very humble man, not the slightest bit flashy at all. At times he struggled to express his emotions, particularly with us kids. As a child and into my early adult years, I wanted his approval on everything. I wanted to be successful just like him. My father was in corporate world, which I could see had its ups and downs like any job or business does. Whilst I watched his efforts in awe, I realised that corporate life was not going to be for me. I wanted the success through entrepreneurial ways, and I was determined for it to be that way.

      We were given many niceties as kids, traveling overseas most years, having the latest and greatest clothes and dining out for special occasions. My father was a quiet achiever and shunned at conflict on every level. He would rather run from conflict before he would muscle up and fight an argument. 

      My younger sister was always like my shadow in our younger years. We spent a lot of time together so at times we would pick on each other ending in the usual sibling arguments. My older brother and sister I looked up to. A few years older than me, I always thought they were cool and wanted to hang out with them as much as possible. I enjoyed their visits to our home and wished they came more often. Being older than me meant they had their lives and like most older siblings, you don’t want your younger brother or sister hanging off your ankles. It took me years to accept personality differences between my other siblings and me. My younger sister and I had a love hate relationship as we grew through our teenage years. I think it was well into my twenties before we started to enjoy each other’s company again.

      Twenty years on and we still have our own strong opinions and views on life. Our values and beliefs don't always align. This is similar for many people I know who have siblings. Like every relationship, this can have its challenges.

      Extended Family

      As a kid, I loved goingto see my grandparents at their home in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood. My father grew up in this home and it was kept in its original state from since he was born. I had a special bond with my grandmother. I looked forward to her home-cooked meals that usually consisted of her table being set for a very formal occasion. My grandparents would dress up in the most impeccable attire with my grandmother wearing all the family jewels. The crystal glassware was out, and polished stainless-steel cutlery presented as if I was going to a formal dinner with the Queen.

      The bond between my grandmother and I was a relationship that was filled with immense love. It felt as if I was the favourite grandson, even if I wasn’t. She would tickle my arm and back watching TV in her dust-filled, overheated lounge room, usually watching all the relevant news channels that filled her with all the doom and gloom going on around the world. Staying in her home was like a place of peace for me. It was a place for me to escape everyday routine and
