Hello! I started all of this training two weeks ago. I have taken the steps to get started. I got my first carrier from a warm lead/ word of mouth! 🙌🏻 I now have shell shock and don’t know where to start. So I started scrambling back through my notes. Here’s a tip to make the leap, you won’t know until you just dive in! 💪🏻🎉 Any advice is appreciated!!

Yep, I did it. COMMIT OR QUIT, is what my boxing coach would say. I hear it everyday. All day at work, all I think about is this. Just got the point where I literally hated waking up to bust my butt for a measly wage. When I can just invest that time and effort into me and determine my own value and net worth. I’ve already started putting out feelers in my warm network. And I’m certain I’ll finish the Truk.ai set up today. One my LLC is live and my toll number is fixed, I’m ready.

That’s what I told myself. I watched the videos, did my research, and I knew that this was the right move to make. I felt it. You know what I’m talking about. That feeling. That sense of new energy. Yet, I just wouldn’t take that next step, fully commit. Put my money up, and bet on myself. The fear of leaving the land of familiarity and comfort, working every day, knowing that income is there, and you can take care of your family. The anxiety was overwhelming. I waited for my family to leave, then I went into the garage and literally broke down into tears. Praying, mostly. Took a shot of Jim Bean, lit an American Spirit. Knocked it back and took a long drag. When I exhaled, I heard it clear as day: Ludacris screaming, “MOVE B! GET OUT THE WAY!!!” I thought it was God at first🤦‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️. Then I realized it was just my neighbor pulling in blasting music. 😂😂😂😂. None the less, I heard it. And it was my call to action. I immediately opened the class, watched up to Video 7. Then watched the first Truk.ai video. By the end of it, I bought the system, let go of the doubt and stepped into my future. My momma always said: “Son, no way to see where you going if you keep looking back.” Here’s to you momma. 🫡🙌❤️🙏 LEEETT’sss GOOOOO!!!!

I just onboarded a box truck operator today! Super excited to build with them. I’m feeling that good nervous energy about locking in solid loads and showing up strong. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous LOL……
