Day 1 — Struggles & Wins (get real) 5 Struggles - Time scarcity as a dad & professional/entrepreneur. There are so many things in any given day that I want to give my attention to and accomplish that it feels impossible to find any sort of balance in life where I feel like I’m doing a good job. I overextend myself and feel like at times I’ve barely keeping my head above water. I need to show up as a dad, a husband, a productive employee of my 9-5, make content, market and sell for my coaching program, and delivering fulfillment for my coaching. It feels like every individual day is a non-stop battle for time and allocating enough of it into any one of these individual things to feel like I’m actually getting anywhere. Some days if feels like I’m simply failing at everything.  - A heavy sense of guilt for where I’m at in life vs where I want to be. Before my dad passed away 2 years ago, my parents filed for bankruptcy. I was able to lend my parents some money but I was in no position to fully take care of them so they didn’t have to go through that. To this day I feel like I failed my parents after the amazing life they gave me. Even now I wish I could do more to help my mom. She’s 70, by herself and worrying about things like money when she should just be enjoying the remaining years of her life. I want to lift all of her worries off of her shoulders so she can simply enjoy being a grandmother to my children and spending time with my family.  - I miss my dad. My dad passed away 3 months before my first daughter was born. I feel like there is a huge part of my life experiences that were robbed of me from not having my dad around to see me start my own family. Our son was just born 3 weeks ago and it kills me inside that he didn’t get to meet the young man I’m raising to carry on the family name. Similarly, I feel like he would be so proud of me for what I’ve built on social media and the business I’ve created. I would do anything for one more conversation with him to tell him everything that’s happened since he passed.
