A post from my group: From Poverty to Dreaming Big

Holding a food stamp, going to eat at the government apartments front office to get these little lunches in a white box people came and passed out, and shopping at Payless was the life!

Or at least I thought. Sometimes I sit on top of these hills over looking campsites or rivers and never in my life imagined I would be there. This past weekend I was floating the Guadalupe River enjoying the cliffs and nature and was just lost. I was thinking about all the people that are in the position I was in growing up and don’t even know these things exist.

As I wrote this on vacation in El Salvador, I can say I am truly blessed, but it DID NOT come easy. I put in the work many times over. I’ve done 18-20 hour shifts while on salary, I’ve fell asleep at the wheel, and I’ve even gone off the road and hit a deer.

My dreams now, are so much bigger than ever before and as I develop the framework for them, I teach others how to develop their foundation. Let’s grind and grow together! Cut all the “all I want is to be comfortable or to pay the bills BS” and reach for the stars, because if you miss….. at least you’ll land on the moon.
