For those of you who don’t know me… This was me 4 years ago. Union Laborer, in decent shape, making pretty good money, at a good company, around good dudes. I honestly didn’t hate my job. Pension, great healthcare benefits, generally didn’t have to commute TOO far… But deep down I knew that I was meant to do more. I knew that if I didn’t somehow use my hard-earned experiences and life lessons to positively impact other people’s lives, I was on pace to die with the regret of never trying. And that was just something I wasn’t willing to live with. So one day, after thinking about it for months, I finally mustered up the courage to put in my two weeks notice. I had a little money saved, and a general idea of what I wanted to do, since I had just completed my Master’s degree for Life Coaching and Counseling while working at my job. But I had NO IDEA how to run a business or get clients, or make content, or build a website…the list goes on. I hadn’t used a real computer in YEARS. I had gotten my Master’s using a Google Chromebook, Word Doc and about 2 school websites. I used to do my research papers on a coffee table and my couch because my tiny studio apartment didn’t have room for a desk. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t fall for the sunshine and rainbows of entrepreneurship. Boy, was I mistaken! It’s been the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, probably outside of getting clean and sober, and everyday new problems arise and there’s no one to turn to to solve them. It’s all on you! But what’s better than that?! Having no one else to blame for your problems, no excuses, no victimhood mentality. Either make it happen, fix it, or don’t and just quit. And trust me that thought is constantly floating in your head, especially when you first start and you’re working nonstop but you’re not making any money. So why am I sharing this? Two reasons. 1. I want people to know that being an entrepreneur/business owner is the furthest thing from easy. If your goal is to get rich quick, don’t even bother. If your goal is to look for a way around hard work and long hours with no guarantee of success, this shit ain’t for you.

Haven’t seen or heard this in awhile. Always hits home. Such valuable wisdom in this quote. Never forget this.

😱 Scariest thing I’m gunna see all day… Is the vision of myself still being the pathetic dude you see in this picture. That’s me on HALLOWEEN…2014 (10years ago) 👀 Look at this LOSER! Why am I posting this? Because I want you to understand that when you’re in your teens and 20’s, it feels like no one is ever going to forget who you were, what you did, what you said. But they will! And f*ck ‘em if they don’t. Here’s why… First off, I’m sorry but you’re just not as important to other people as you think you are. You might feel like they’re thinking about you all the time or staring at everything you do… THEY’RE NOT. People are too busy and self-centered to think anyone besides themselves and their family. If they are, they’re likely not doing sh*t with their life because successful people just don’t spend time or energy like that. They value it too much. It’s just how it is. Don’t take it personal. Second, people have short memories. Try to count how many things you can remember from 10yrs ago. Offhand it’s probably 5-10, at the most, that actually had meaning in your life. Lastly, people LOVE to see a “hero’s journey”. They love to see an underdog win. They may not support you when you’re on your journey, but they always support you when you come out the other side. Trust me 🙏 I don’t know a single person who made more mistakes than me from 17-25. And yea, some people might remember those mistakes. But you know what most people remember? 💥THE MAN I AM RIGHT NOW. The man they know nothing can stop me from becoming. So whether you’re 16 or 30 years old, it’s not too late to completely change your identity. But you gotta get started! ❌No one is coming to save you. ❌There won’t be some magical wake up call. And if there is, you’ll regret that that’s what it took…just like me. 🫵If you or someone you know has the potential to become someone of high value, but they just don’t know where to start, SEND THEM MY WAY and I’ll make sure it happens. 💯 Results guaranteed in 3 months or you don’t pay!
