If you’re not thinking about the opportunity cost of your decisions you’re not thinking like a business person. Saying yes to a party may mean missing the opportunity to spend time with family. Saying yes to a new side hustle may mean you’re missing the opportunity for growth your main hustle my multiples. Holding your money is cash may mean you’re missing the opportunity of growing your value through investing. Every decision to do something is also a decision to not do something else.

If you do what most people are doing you should expect to be like most people. If you want more you must act differently.

I listened to podcast recently and they brought up optimism and how important it is. Without even being conscious of this, I’ve been optimistic my whole life. From the outside looking in, my life can seem like a whirlwind. I’ve always get a positive and optimistic mindset. I’ve convinced myself that every time my back is up against the wall I end up in a better spot. So much so that I look forward to the next challenge because I understand it’s just an opportunity to grow.

Spring of 2020 was rough, I had just got divorced, laid off from my job and out of shape. I moved back into a childhood home and covid on top of all of this. I realized quickly I had gotten too comfortable with my job, with my marriage, with my body and just life in general. At this time I was 31 and daughter was 3. She deserved better. I decided to make changes for both her and myself. In 5 years, I went from 10s of thousands in credit card debt to well over 300k in net worth. At 37, I’m in better physical and mental shape than I’ve been since my early 20s. My relationships with my daughter, family and friends have improved immensely. I’ve reached many of my goals, but my journey is nowhere near complete. I want to start sharing more and helping others along the way. Introduce yourself and tell me your story 👇🏽
