The Story I Never Wanted to Share (But You Need to Hear)
Most people only show the highlights.The wins. The glossy Instagram moments.This isn’t that story.
A few years ago, I was at my lowest point:
- Cancer.
- My health was wrecked.
- My shop was hanging by a thread, nearly bankrupt.
I remember saying to my wife:
“How did it come to this? How can I be this talented, working myself to the bone, and still be staring straight at bankruptcy?”
That was the moment I realised:
👉 Art isn’t enough.
👉 Instagram likes aren’t enough.
👉 Hustling harder isn’t enough.
You need a system that doesn’t care if you’re ill, tired, or the algorithm turns against you.
That’s why I built the Growth Engine.
Because I never want another artist or shop to feel what I felt.
It’s not about hacks and not about looking busy, its about boring, predictable systems that keep your doors open and your diary full — even when life throws its hardest punches.
And when you’re done watching, ask yourself:
👉 If my shop had to survive my worst day, would it?
