Think time's screwing you over? STOP.

Listen... we ALL get stuck between hating our past mistakes and freaking out about tomorrow. Meanwhile, TODAY is slipping through our damn fingers.

I've been there. 10 YEARS locked up. Then building a business from nothing but a crappy 100 sq ft office with no A/C and barely room for 4 cars.

Here's the truth: that feeling of being "behind" is complete BS.

Six years ago I po...

Think being tough means having NO FEAR? Dead wrong. I spent my 20s playing tough guy because I thought that's what men do... and that led me down some DARK paths.

Look, fear isn't weakness - it's your body's alarm system! Sometimes that alarm is saying "DON'T JUMP OFF THE DAMN BUILDING" (thank you, fear). Other times it's just your past trauma screaming when growth is knocking.

I've built ...

Think your favorite motivational gurus never have days when they just want to stay in bed? BULLSHIT. I'll be real with you - this week I woke up and legitimately didn't even want to get out of bed. Zero motivation. Nothing. Nada. Questioning EVERYTHING.

Look, here's the brutal truth: success isn't about feeling pumped 24/7. It's about dragging your ass forward when you'd rather do anything but.

Strength? Handling everything alone? NOPE.

Look, we've all done it. Smiled through the pain, said "I'm good" when we're honestly drowning. I've been there THIS ENTIRE YEAR.

One week we're crushing it, selling 8 cars in 5 days... then NOTHING for a straight week. Staff quitting. New hires ghosting me on day one. Personal stuff I'm not even ready to get into.

And what do we do? We bottle that stuf...
