I quit my job when I couldn't pay my bills (true story)
|
3 years ago today, I was in a pretty dark place
So naturally, I did what any rational person would do... I quit my job. I moved my family across the country and went all-in on myself. Everyone thought I'd lost it. (Including my parents) But here's what happened next:
This week marks my 3-year anniversary of that insane decision. So I did something I haven't done in 4 years... Recorded a solo podcast episode. Zero edits. Just my raw thoughts on how I went from rock bottom to building the business (and life) I actually wanted. Including:
You get a little different side of me in this one. I talk about losing my temper with my kids. About doubting everything. About doing things that made me want to crawl under a rock. But if you're sitting there thinking you can't do this... That you're too late, too broke, or too scared... This one's for you. Look, I'm not special. I'm just a guy who got tired of living someone else's version of success. And if I can figure this out while bleeding money with two kids and a mortgage... You've got this. Best, |

I'm 42 years old, and I have $0 saved for retirement. 😬 Most financial advisors would probably judge me and run in the opposite direction. What they don't know is that: I emptied out my savings to pay off my wife's student loans so we can afford to buy our first home. I emptied it out again to keep the lights on for my family while I was building my business. When I told this Derek Coburn, he didn't judge me at all. He APPLAUDED me. Because Derek has a very different perspective on...
Yesterday, I saw a post calling Alex Hormozi a liar. (of course, the post got a ton of attention) But I don't think he's a liar at all. I don't think most business entrepreneur gurus you see on social media, with millions of views and followers, are lying to you. They're just playing a completely different game. The audience that they've built gives them leverage that you do not have as somebody with 1,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 followers. And does that mean that I'm not going to take some of...
