I have quite a few things going on at once, My wife can go into labor at any moment, I work many hours for a company, and my part time company consumes most of my free time. I could not be more excited right now! My friends think I'm crazy and they could never do all of this at once but they are not me.
The company I just started working for is a ground floor company and a leader in a new industry that is booming right now in the U.S. The cool thing about a growing ground floor company is the opportunity to climb the ladder quickly. I will say I have big plans with this company. With my part time venture, we are adding new equipment and discussing actually hiring people within the next two years! Now that sounds like a long time (four years to hire from day one) but we started with $400 (debt free!) and a craigslist ad. This year we more than doubled in client base just by word of mouth. Most importantly my baby girl will be here within 48 hours!
Well now that I typed this out it feels like a lot but I'm hungry and I can take on much more. I am so ready for the next year because it will be a great growth year for me. It took many years of trial and error, tons of self growth, and many hours of praying but I finally have the blue prints for my journey to success. I would have saved time and work if I had a mentor of life coach, but that was not an option for me. I love reading and research and I have read a lot on Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership program and on Mark Cuban. They don't know it, but these gentlemen have played a huge part in helping focus my ambition. Now that I have my blueprints, it is time to put the hard work in and lay the foundation.
For any one that reads this post and is going through something similar, I would like to offer some advice. However, I would like to preface that college is not at all a useful tool for me, just a hole to throw $60,000 down. Recently after proudly announcing my new job I was asked, "What do you want to do?" Referring to my plan to advance my career. Without hesitation, I replied, "Own and operate several companies," which was followed by a chuckle and suggestions to finish college. When you hear something like this, just brush it off and stick to your guns.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to be weird!
