Hi, guys! This already feels like where I need to be!!!
I am 24 years old with big goals and big dreams. Just those two elements. No money, just got back into my industry (car sales) no place or transportation of my own. How did someone with dreams end up in such an unfortunate place, you ask?
Self destructive suicidal depression.
It was bad. With 4 attempts over the past 10 years, I have managed to destroy a lot with myself and everything around me. But away with the sobs. Something finally clicked that has always been there and it is awesome.
I've always wanted to achieve the stars. As a kid I loved motivational speakers, success stories and developing visions. I have an ethic that is unstoppable when I focus. I have a heart and a do-or-die desire to make the world a better place. The reason I wanted to leave so badly was because of how bad it is and always has been.
So like I said, something clicked. It was this voice, with the stern tone of a strong and seasoned coach that started asking me during my self defeating boxing matches, "What are you going to do about it?!" My answer was "I will help!" Instead of walking around town with my head hung in the dirt, it makes me look at beautiful, elegant parts of nature, immaculate houses that are perfectly sized for my family along with all the other things we could need or dream of and it says, "what makes you think that you can't have that? Why do you believe you don't deserve that? Go get it!!!"
Well i don't know WHERE this voice came from, but the best way to get me motivated is with a nice firm challenge and goodNESS I am already seeing changes! When I tell you guys I knocked my new interview out of the park, I should have walked in the dealership with a baseball bat! I developed a plan to get my OWN foundation beneath me and once I got it all worked out I became ADDICTED to strategizing. All distractions? Gone. All my wants? Don't care. I have this mantra I repeat, "I will get it in the end. I will get it in the end. I will get it end the end!!!!"
I have a high IQ and a ton of blessings that most would kill for. I abused them and made a fool of myself. All of that has changed. I am finally putting the pieces together.
I bumped into you badasses while researching wealth building so I can change the way I think and breath about money on a day to day basis. If it is what makes the world go 'round with it evidently spinning the wrong way, I want to do my part in changing the direction. That takes money. That is the step after step 1: foundation is achieved; Step 2: re-invention, picking a destination and setting sail for it full blast like the Spartan I know I was born to be. Not just for me, but for my kids and humanity.
I need help on developing this mindset and ultimately where to start with taking money and making money. "It takes money to make money" has always been an earworm I didn't understand it until the words "turn it over, turn it over" popped up. That sounds like it fits and if that is how money works, through flipping and turning it over then that is insane! It sounds like a game I want to play.
Even if you can't tell me where to start, challenge me!!!
If you think I've bitten off more than I can chew, motivate me!!!
The bad part already feels like it is over because I finally want something now. I want to knock this challenge and any others out of the park. I want to win! I want to be a Spartan!
