After selling my painting business for high six figures, I took time to travel throughout India with my family. Now, I’m back in Colorado building another one

Trying to go big in entrepreneurship with zero experience, zero capital and zero network is one of the best ways to end up with a JOB!

Let me tell you a secret:

You have to crawl before you can walk and eventually run.

Business is all about momentum.

If you set big, exciting, world changing goals the little stuff you need to do to learn and get some momentum won't be exciting or feasible for you.

Getting a few customers or making $25,000 won't feel like it moves the needle so you'll try to jump past it.

When I started my pick up and student storage business, my first goal was to get 100 customers.

The next year my goal was to get $50k in my checking account (financial freedom for me as a 22 year old) and well over 1 year of runway.

The next year my goal was 3,000 customers and over $1 million in revenue.

The next year it was to put $500k in our company checking account after all expenses and taxes were paid.

The next year it was building my first self storage facility from the ground up (this took 2 years).

The year after that we tried to build a second facility and we failed.

The year after that we decided to buy one and we succeeded.

The year after that I wanted to buy 3 properties and we ended up buying 4!

A few years later and now we have 62 properties, a massive portfolio and I own several other companies that are growing fast.

Notice something about my goals:

1. All of these were short term goals. (1 year)

2. None of these were sexy, far fetched goals.

3. All of them were achievable and realistic.

4. I didn't accomplish all of them.

My advice:

If you can get excited about the little stuff and making realistic progress each year, you can win.

Big swings are great when you already have cash flow!

The thing that crushes so many is they take the big swing before they know what they’re doing and end up failing.

They run back to a job with their tail between their legs.

Most rich people I know got rich doing common things uncommonly well.

They focused on stacking small wins each year.

For 95%+ of people reading this, this is the best way to succeed.

Building things over a long period of time is much more fun when you do it with joy vs. grind-mindset.
-Spend time in Nature
-Find a hobby outside of work
-Practice Mindfulness
-Harness Inner Peace

[Cameron Loughlin @CameronFreedom]

A lot of books tell you to grind and become extremely determined, but that creates resistance. Much easier to develop resistance reducing activities like therapy, things you enjoy while building positive self-esteem.

@jeanshanah96181 @EricaJSandberg Yeah- there’s always been an edge to Market St.. It wasn’t my favorite place to be honest - removing the Embarcadero Freeway helped

@RedWavePress He went to the same school as a few of my college friends and Baron Davis, and probably some Jenner kids.

@Coach_Yac @MaioccoNBCS I like it, has Kyle done this before? Wonder if he's realizing he needs to go easy early to keep the bodies fresh.

@NBA__Courtside sounds like the way Ron Jaworski described Kaepernick
