Homework Day 1
5 Struggles
- I have studied at 4 colleges. I kept changing my mind and majors. The first college, which I discovered later on, I did because I wanted to impress my dad (We had a very stressful relationship, this will be a recurring theme.) That major turned out to be incredibly difficult and over my head. The next college was art and voice focused, but it lacked the exact specialty I was going for. The next college had the Computer Aided Animation and Voice. The next college was more serious voice training. I did end up getting a degree after all of it, but it took longer than expected.
- I was always insecure about being thin and having very little muscle in my younger years. I grew up watching Conan and Rocky, but I was either in Band or 112/119 lbs high school wrestling, so I didn’t put on much size. My dad throwing out my protein shake jugs didn’t help either, he said they would make me fat. When I did eventually get into lifting for size when I was 22, and I ate everything I could. 10 egg omelets and massive Mass Gainers shakes with a bunch of stuff added to them. I always wanted to make up for being small all those years so I kept working and eating to gain more weight and muscle.
- I always went for jobs that would pay me the most money, even if it seemed unattainable at first. I applied for a Commodities broker position at an investment first after attending a life changing Anthony Robbins seminar. After that I had a deep hunger for building wealth. I attempted, and sometimes failed, at jobs that had big potential.
- I have a daughter. I discovered her when she was 17. It’s a very complicated story, but we have embraced her into my family since we found out. I’ve been pursuing a remote job so I can spend more time with her and my grandson, which has been difficult since they live in AZ.
- I base my importance on who I am dating or if I’m dating at the time. I get depressed if I am alone and not dating. The pursuit of women seems to take up my focus at times. My moods go up and down depending on if I have a woman in my life.
- 5 Wins
- Because of the studying classical voice, I’ve been able to sing with dozens of bands and hundreds of stages in the US and Mexico.
- I locked in on my diet and making gains in the gym, and I also gained a lot of confidence, which positively affected everything in my life. Dating always got easier the bigger and leaner I got.
- While working as a commodities broker I made 100K a year at it’s peak. With that Anthony Robbins seminar had a epiphany and it changed the trajectory of my life, and I had an epiphany. The epiphany was I capable of doing much bigger and better things in my life, and I'm capable of making a huge lifestyle and creating wealth.
- I know for certain that my daughter has told me that I’ve made a big impact and have been a positive influence in her life.
- I’ve gained the wisdom of what to look for when dealing with women, I’ve learned that I’m just fine when I’m not dating. I could help many guys maneuver through the ups and downs of dating and relationships.
