I Voice Dictate to my Pocket AI a lot because im long winded, but here we are.... PERSONAL. Struggles: - In March 2024, the same week my daughter was born, I filed bankruptcy. I lost my boat, UTV, House, Animals, I had to liquidate my shaved ice franchise. It was everything but my family and our car. With a newborn and no income, I had to start over. - I started a 13 truck trucking company that failed. My mistakes, expensive repairs, and a changing market, I pivoted to a trucking technology startup that raised $250,000 but I still ran out of money. I invested 4 years for nothing - I went from being a competitive bodybuilder to working 16–18-hour days as a truck driver. I sacrificed my body thinking I could make my businesses successful and STILL LOST BOTH. - At 18 and 19, I did door-to-door sales jobs and experienced constant rejection. This has wrecked my confidence. I still struggle with cold calling, prospecting, and asking people for their business. - In my head, it doesn't matter if you try or attempted something, it just matters if you did it. This can be perceived as toxic, but all that matters to me is results. This has hurt relationships including my marriage. Like, idc if you tried to do better, just do better. (gosh this seems bad ahaha) Wins: - I rebuilt everything from practically nothing. Today, I own nearly everything I have, live in a brand-new home I chose with my family, have no debt, and have a successful business and 6 employees, and 2 partners in other projects. - Im jacked af again. Today, I'm in the best shape of my life, least amount of gear, and my blood work is great. - Although i'm scared of rejection and asking for the sale, i've become next level at growing and nurturing existing relationships to get new business by referrals. - Starting over, living in a mobile home in the middle of Iowa, with just my wife and baby, my perspective on opportunity is so different now. Like it even surprises the cash register at the dollar tree. I moved to the most affordable zip code I could tolerate, so I could live at a better standard and make a ton of money online. - I learned that I don't need to do it all. I had to become good at problem solving through, who can solve this problem, rather than just doing it all myself. Applying that, I've been able to scale fast without the catastrophic mistakes I've made before.

We have had quite a few new people join the tards in the last few days I want to welcome you all with a story and a recap of last nights group call. It’s a long story but it is what is at the core of this program you have invested into. How Finding a Quarter in Mexico Reminded Me How God Works Tonight, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to teach on my Instagram 4 Retards LIVE call. Normally, I come prepared with a lesson and a practical exercise for my students. But today? Nothing. I had two client calls earlier with Greg and Roger, and I figured something from those conversations would inspire me. Nope. Then I spent the afternoon on a beach in Mexico, swimming in the ocean, relaxing, and enjoying the fact that I was on a cruise. Still nothing. Before I knew it, I was already two minutes late for my own call. And I STILL had no idea what I was going to talk about. But strangely enough, I wasn’t stressed. I opened Zoom, started letting students into the meeting, and decided to walk from my room to Nick’s room because I figured the other guys would be hanging out there. So there I was, walking through the hallways of a cruise ship in Mexico, casually talking to my students about the trip. And then something happened. I found a quarter on the floor. I bent down, picked it up, and immediately knew exactly what I was going to teach. Just like that. The entire lesson came to me. And I couldn’t help but laugh because I genuinely believe that’s how God works sometimes. I spent the entire day trying to figure out what I was supposed to talk about. Eventually, I stopped worrying about it, enjoyed my day, and trusted that something would come to me. And then God put a quarter on the floor. At least, that’s how I see it. I’ve Been Picking Up Money My Entire Life For as long as I can remember, I’ve picked up loose change off the ground. Pennies. Nickels. Dimes. Quarters. I’m practically a magnet for the stuff. At least twice a week, I’ll be out walking and spot money that everyone else has walked right past.
