Hey Teenpreneur Tribe! Thank you for your patience during this long stretch of silence! Wanted to give you an update of what's been happening behind the scenes: On a personal note: 1. I've been working my 9-5 and focusing on my family. Overseeing our Scholar run uniform store, teaching personal finance, and marketing requires 50+ hours of attention. Then attending to a family of 6 and growing takes up a ton of time as well. My younger son's last game of soccer was last night, they went undefeated! Hopefully that gives me just a little more time margin. 2. I've been working on my physical fitness. I started going to the gym 1 and a half to two hours 4 days a week. Between that and the extra work on proper nutrition it's taking more time than I expected. It's been totally worth it as I'm down 15lbs and grateful for what i see happening in the mirror. As it relates to this community: 1. I met with the Faith Driven Entrepreneur Team and I'm excited as I'll be leading a small group. I think this will be a huge value add to this group and beyond. 2. I'm hoping to meet with the Faith Driven Students Director to see if I'm able to partner and lead a group through that tailored content as well. 3. I'm almost through AJ and Rory Vaden's: Wealthy and Well Known book and y'all it's a game changer! They provide some amazing frameworks that I'm so excited to share what I'm learning with you so you can refine your brand, marketing, and messaging! 4. I'm currently thinking and praying through changing the community to: Young Entrepreneurs and Mentors a community where Young Entrepreneurs can get paired up with successful Entrepreneurs who want to pour wisdom, counsel, and strategy into the next generation. You all are the future and my generation has a responsibility to do everything within our power to help you succeed! All that to say more consistent posts and small group details coming soon!

Hey Young Entrepreneurs and Mentors! If you're anything like me, maybe you find yourself in this cycle where things don't seem to going your way and you feel like you've considered all the options and may have even "tried everything" and still aren't experiencing progress or success. Well I'm NOT a guru or authority, just a guy who is on the same journey as you and I hope to share what I'm learning so that maybe it will help you on your path.

Who else needs to hear this? Guys I have been on the absolute struggle bus when it comes to confidence and particularly the path to monetization whether that be individual or group coaching or this community. I’ve felt this stirring to just shoot what I have. But without clarity of how it will lead to my desired destination I’ve delayed and delayed and delayed. If you’re reading this (even if it’s days, weeks, or years from now) please hold me accountable. Ask me how content creation is going. If any of you are interested in free coaching or in shooting a podcast style episode, comment below or message me!

As we approach the holidays, a time filled with food, Family, and questions. The typical questions we get asked are how is life going and where do we see life going? It’s worth taking time to sit and contemplate what are your dreams, hopes, and aspirations? What do you see yourself achieving in the next two years? In the next five? In the next 10? In your lifetime? If we don’t do this for ourselves, our well-meaning family, our friends, or the world will try to fill in the gap for us. What if we were clear and certain of the direction that we were heading? Perhaps instead of trying to persuade us toward their dreams for our lives others would then think of ways to support our chosen path. It would be worth taking some time this week before the holiday comes to journal and think through these things so you are ready to clearly articulate to those around you. One step further: what can you ask of your friends and family? Are there any resources or connections you are looking for that someone may have? Many people are willing to help if they know someone needs help. We just need to get better at articulating and asking.

You made it! You’re officially part of the Young Entrepreneurs and Mentors Tribe 🚀 (yes, that means you get bragging rights when this place is buzzing with entrepreneurs from all over). This community is about equipping and encouraging each other as the next generation of entrepreneurs and the mentors who are cheering them on along the way. Together, we’ll share wins, swap stories, and learn how to support each other as we chase big ideas—without losing our soul or sanity 🤣 in the process. But before we dive in, let’s have some fun. Drop your answers in the comments: 1️⃣ What made you click “join”? 2️⃣ What do you hope to get from this community? 3️⃣ What would make this space most valuable for you? Thank you for saying “yes” so early. My hope is that this becomes a space where we can celebrate, encourage, and equip each other—while cheering on the next generation. Excited to build this with you, – Hector
