There will be a time where you can take the foot off the gas.

It’s not that time.🎥
-

Ready now why wait?

I remember my old math teacher in high school once told me “You are not meant for the real world if you can’t understand this lesson”. Well, I didn’t understand that lesson and I’m still here “in the real world”.
-
No matter what upbringing or where you came from we all deal with adversity. It doesn’t matter where you are at in life you always face some problems. In 2019 I was humbled by eating sh*t in different areas of business. I had it all in align and nearly lost it all. What I learned was these moments and periods are apart of business. The outcome is all dependent on how you respond to the waves. Do you blame others while losing? Do you change routine just get away from your daily tasks? Do you struggle to hold yourself accountable?If so, you are denying accountability for your current situation.
-
I’ve learned through the sh*t all it takes is a smile. A smile through the pain knowing there’s light. A smile symbolizes positivity to others, and if you do it long enough, start to smile naturally. If you can still be positive during times of sh*t I promise you, your time will come. I’ve seen it for myself and others.

Create your own destiny and never let another tear your hard work.

Only bringing my dogs into 2020 🐶

So many lessons and humbling moments this year. I will leave out details, but this has been the most challenging year I have ever encountered. These lessons have created a version of myself I thought I could never achieve.
•
You would never know what a win would feel like without a loss. You would never know what being rich feels like if you were never broke. You would never know what happiness is without the dark times.
•
•
This year I learned that you will never grow without killer commitment. The type of commitment that can hurt you without following through. This year I went through every emotion. I held many commitments, but I lost a lot too. That will happen, but the only way to overcome is to not react. When I used to react I turned to aggression and a victim mentality. I turned to fight against everyone else that I thought was in my way.
•
In 2019 I was too close to myself to see clearly enough that I was in my own way. This time around I will still be fighting. Except this fight will be for my dreams.
•
Keep writing.

Lost my respect, you not a threat.

We take ourselves too seriously..
•
•
I was so fixated in prior years about having a certain appearance online.
•
•
“Make sure you have the right angle.”
•
•
“That’s not my good side. Can you take 5 more?”
•
•
“Oh what about the lighting over here?”
•
•
Maybe you are guilty of this attempt at perfection too? Once I realized that being an IG model wasn’t the ideal path(😂) I switched it up.
•
•
I got more real. I told you what was really going on in my life. I strive to not sugarcoat and tell you I’m not in the trenches.
•
•
I have started from ground zero multiple times, but I’ve always picked myself up. You can do that by supportive people who know the REAL you.
•
•
Don’t be afraid to be yourself. At the end of the day, isn’t that makes you unique?
•

Comment below if you REAL 💯

People will always see the outcome, but never the income you put in.
•
•
The best business leaders in the world have the most awkward first interviews.
•
•
I started on Facebook live two years ago with a topic I had no clue about. I looked down at my notes, and I even made up words that didn’t exist. I still make up words that don’t exist while recording.
•
I’ve done over 100+ live videos in the span of two years and I’m still not great on camera. It takes dedication, but it takes you starting.
•
•
Don’t let someone else tell you that it can be solved in 24 hours because it can’t. It takes humiliation, self-assurance, and persistence to put yourself on social media.
•
•
Everyone is here to judge you. The only question is, is who is keeping score? That is you my friend.
•
YOU are the one who is second guessing that caption. You are the one that is second guessing your podcast. You are the one second guessing your 10 second story. It’s all you keeping score.
•
•
Lose the scoreboard in your life, and it will make bu****it step aside.

When the creative spark ⚡️ hits 😂
•
•
I’ve recently got the question of “How do you not burn out when creating?”
•
•
My simple response is, “I never run out of material to talk about”. If you are somebody that genuinely practices what you preach, it’s very hard to put the brakes on. Overall, wouldn’t you want to squeeze every inch of potential out of your head? Especially if you feel inspired in a given moment?
•
•
I still need to be creating way more than I am currently. 10x more. The way I deal with burnout is by sparking the fire again some other way. It never will die out if I keep giving it fuel to flourish.
•
•
Let me know your thoughts on this spark, and how you dealt with burning out?

I made an oath on my LinkedIn the other day to go in the opposite direction of everyone on Instagram. So here it goes,
•
•
•
I am still in college. I do have debt. Small but there.
•
I am an entrepreneur who hasn’t made it yet, and have failed majorly many times and hurt relationships as an outcome of it. I lost my clients three months ago, and I am still rebuilding.
•
I do work for a corporate company, and I do work 40 hours a week.
•
I am inconsistent on my channel because I have a huge insecurity of staying relevant.
•
I have acted like I have it all figured out because someone once told me “Fake it till you make it”, and then I got put on my ass.
•
•
I don’t live in a penthouse or have my own studio yet. I work out of my apartment and built the studio in my room.
•
•
I’ve been called the connector by people because I make sure I bring them to the right people. Little do people know, but my biggest fear in life is dying alone.
•
•
I make this post not for your sympathy, or for your recognition. I make this post for myself to release all the pent up feelings and truths about my life.
•
•
I don’t care if you want to unfollow me, or talk behind me. I care about real in my life, and I am going straight through that direction for my time and rest of my life on social media.
•
•
Let’s join together. To something bigger than ourselves, and start being ourselves.
•
•
Follow my journey.. as I figure it out, like you. Oh, and my mom bought me that Oakley hat as a gift. She’s the best lol.

You can call me on my cell phone..

Late night when you need my connections😉

The cost of opportunity’s is good to know, but if you know that then you’re good to go.

On the Road to your dreams this is what you’ll find.

1. Most of the people you thought were friends will switch on you. Even if they’re your “bro’s”. This is normal.
2. A lot of people talk more than they act. Be mindful of your circle ⭕️ and observe them on their perseverance and results.
3. You will have to sacrifice more than you think. You can’t live a normal life if you choose the untraditional path.
4. When you’re moving there will be people who will throw garbage advice at you. Keep older mentors close.
5. Support is everything. Don’t let anyone in your circle that doesn’t supports you. That goes for family too. It’s the number one imperative in my book, and it’s been a blessing so far.

•
I felt compelled to share this because I have went through and witnessed all of this. It’s not just a new year, it’s a new day.

Stay Laser focused ✈️

REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED...
•
•
It was nearly two years ago when when we embarked on a journey to create.
•
•
Endless hours on the road. Countless sleepless nights of editing and preparation. Bank accounts negative from purchasing equipment. I was rejected by 90% of the entrepreneurs I asked to interview.
•
No matter how much sacrifice we made, nothing can come close to how much these men made. None of what I am doing now would be possible without them. The most notable I love you like a brother. No amount of money can ever repay the impact you played in my life.
•
•
•
I won’t get too sentimental, but I just want to leave this here. You’re circle will only grow when you grow yourself. Nobody owes you a dime, and in order to build it sometimes comes with a cost. You choose the amount.
•
•
2019 it’s time to boss up.
