I used to be the main character in my own personal s**t show called life.
For over a decade, I took advice from people nowhere close to where I wanted to be. And following their advice turned me into someone I didn’t even recognize.
I stopped taking responsibility. I didn’t care about myself or anyone else. I blamed, complained, and justified everything. I drifted from job to job, pouring my time and energy into companies that didn’t care about me while my mental and emotional health kept slipping.
Why? Because I wasn’t living my purpose. I didn’t know who I was. I tried to fit into everyone else’s expectations until I couldn’t even dream for myself anymore.
And every time I mentioned entrepreneurship, I heard:
It’s too hard.
There’s no security.
You need a real job.
You’re not cut out for that.
For years, I believed them.
Until one day… I didn’t.
Something in me snapped and I finally said, “F**k that.”
Their limits weren’t going to be mine anymore.
I hired coaches.
I devoured books.
I broke patterns and rebuilt who I was.
Piece by piece, my life started coming together like a puzzle and for the first time, the picture actually looked beautiful.
Then in May 2025, I took the biggest risk of my life: I quit my full-time job after running my business part-time for five years.
I couldn’t take the toxicity anymore. I couldn’t call a job “secure” when it was slowly destroying me. I couldn’t keep abandoning the life I knew I was meant to build.
Today, we’re running a thriving coaching company, side-by-side with my ride-or-die, my best friend, my wife. This year has been unreal and since leaving my job in May, I’ve already made more than double what that “secure” paycheck would’ve given me.
I stopped taking advice from people who weren’t living the life I wanted. I set real boundaries. I started showing up like someone who builds, not someone who hopes.
And you know what happened?
Our life changed.
Our income changed.
Our confidence changed.
Our freedom changed.
We review our finances weekly, stay aligned on our goals, and do things now we never thought were possible back then.
And the best part?
This is just the beginning.
