Let's get Started

Everyone started from somewhere. I have heard that quote before. Also, start with what you got and where you are at. Right now is kind of a crazy time, due to the pandemic. Your first step is to see what you want to do. There are different things out there along with books that have many ideas for a start-up. Mine was easy and it was also a passion.
I listen to Dan Miller/48 days podcast. He has many suggestions and ideas. You can find him on most podcast apps. My choice of preference is Podcast Republic.
One reason for starting this blog was my love for success stories and the paths people took to get where they are.
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? You be the next Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Mark Cuban.

My Heroes

Growing up, my heroes were athletes, rock stars and movie stars. I was into sports and entertainment up to a few years ago. That is when my taste changed.
Now days, my heroes are Dan Miller, Dave Ramsey, Jim Rohn and Art Williams, just to name a few. My thinking has changed and I have a new philosophy and outlook on life. Getting out of debt, being better than the person I was yesterday and growing a business seems to be more important than who won the big game. Of course, as a big Cubs fan, I did watch the 2016 World Series.
These new heroes I have, showed me a way of thinking that changed a life of wasting the talents I have. I now have passions for my business, prison ministry and family. Not necessarily in that order. Everyone needs a life coach, whether virtual or a close friend that keeps us accountable.

This is where the journey begins

Growing up, I always wanted to be a business owner and had an entrepreneurial mind. I would have these ideas and sometimes came to the conclusion they were silly. The thing is, they should have been written down and saved for later. At least to reflect on. As I got older, I worked as a DJ and eventually had my own business. I worked in factories, warehouses and retail. I always seemed bored as time went by.
I met my friend Dan while working at a Christian bookstore, part-time. He told me about an opportunity and introduced me to a man named Dean, who was full-time and successful in this business. After I was presented with the opportunity, I realized my passion and what I wanted to do. This is a story to get the reader to find his or her passion and chase it. I want to take you on a journey, that I have embarked on and see if there is a common interest in chasing our dreams. I am further than square one but will start over with the things I did.
My attitude has changed from the day I met these men and the opportunity that was presented to me. I hope you can dream big and find your passion.
