4.5 years ago, we got a surprise Dravet syndrome diagnosis for our first daughter.
Out of nowhere.
Life changing.
No "known cure" still
1/16,000 children 💜
On that day, I promised my wife we'd win.
And we'd win big.
We fight every day for her.
And we refuse to be victims.
My little girl told the doctor today her daddy says "We don't give up"
That brought tears to my eyes.
WE WILL WIN FOR HER💪🏼
What I love most about what we’ve built is that it’s legacy bound.
It doesn’t rely on me.
It doesn’t need my face.
My time.
My presence.
We’ve built the people, systems and infrastructure for this mission to continue long after I’m done.
That’s bigger than building a business.
That’s building something that lasts.
This is where history is made.
1. Set My Target
To hit my target...
I'd need to invest ~$2,000/mo at average returns.
That might sound like a lot...
But I'll use a few tricks to make it simple on $100k 👉🏻
I’ve gotten my ass kicked this week.
And it came immediately after one of the biggest winning stretches we’ve ever had.
Good reminder:
Different levels have different devils.
Don’t be naive enough to think success makes your problems disappear.
Your problems change.
Sometimes they get more intense because the responsibility is greater, the decisions are bigger and more people are impacted by them.
You don’t level up to escape problems.
You level yourself up so you can handle bigger ones.
You can’t be “bad at money.”
No matter how many times you excuse yourself by saying it.
You may be immature.
You may have no self-control.
You may struggle with addiction.
You may constantly give in to short-term impulses.
You may have horrible limiting beliefs.
But none of those mean you’re “bad at money.”
Money is just exposing the behavior underneath.
Stop giving yourself an identity that makes the problem permanent.
You’re not bad at money.
You have behaviors that are producing bad financial outcomes.
And behaviors can change.
Nobody grew up financially literate.
That’s not an excuse anymore.
Some people used not knowing as a reason to stay broke.
Others used not knowing as a reason to learn.
Plenty of wealthy people started with zero financial education.
The difference is they eventually took responsibility for getting one.
Your parents didn’t teach you.
Your school didn’t teach you.
Fine.
Teach yourself.
You don’t need multiple streams of income to become wealthy.
You need one strong income stream, controlled spending, and enough patience to let compounding work.
1. Start With What You Have
Everyone has junk they don't need...
-> Gather any items with $100+ value
-> Snap pictures and write descriptions
-> List on FB marketplace and Ebay
Erin and I made $2k reselling what we didn't need.
