✅ My story ↓

I became a journeyman welder at the age of 21, launched a welding business at 23 people started handing me 30k-40k a month to weld in the oilfield.

I thought that was life. I spent 11 months a year working out of town for a 300-400k a year sacrificing my health.

I paid a mortgage for a house I was never at.
It wasn’t freedom. It was a trap.

Through that a developed a crazy alcohol and co**ine addiction until I was about 27.

My brother and best friend overdosed and died. I also met my wifey this year. The best and worst things of my life happened within 90 days. We were a train wreck.

We got sober when my best friend died. Both of us. 10 years later we’re a fitness addicted entrepreneur couple. I came back to Jesus.

I started trying many different business ideas. EBay. Drop shipping. Amazon Stores. Years of failures. Marketing agencies. Selling high ticket items.

I started making really good money running a marketing agency and doing high ticket sales.

I hated both. All the money in the world didn’t matter at that point. It wasn’t freedom. I built another cage for myself.

2019 hit. Right before the pandemic i decided I had enough. Sold all my welding equipment. Sold my house. Started learning trading.

Self funded. Not sure if I’d make it. But I didn’t care. I knew it was ultimate freedom and I answered to no one.

Everyone told me not to do it. Lost all my friends. Stop talking to my family entirely cause they didn’t support it. My dad died.

Everything hit me all at once. I went dark. Really dark. To the point I wouldn’t leave the house, answer the phone or even open the windows to let the sunlight in.

In all this I started working harder than ever. Meditating. Reading. Praying more than ever.

The failures got less severe. My discipline got better. Because I accepted some truths:

- no one is coming to save me
- no one cares if I make it
- it was only a matter of time until I made it

I kept showing up. I kept working. Eventually turned into a breakeven trader. Then a profitable trader.

I’m not yet a level I want to be at. But I’m free. I make more money than before by a long shot. I go to the gym when I want. I eat lunch when I want. I do what I want. And I built this life with the love of my life.

She supported me the whole time and believed in my vision. She fell in love with 2 things:

A)The man I was.

B) man she knew I could be.

She was the bridge that took me from A to B.
I didn’t get a lot of things right in life. I got her right. And I got the right career meant for me right (trading).

Whatever hell you may be going through today… just remember, no storm lasts forever and you can make it if you don’t quit.

The views from the office are much different today.
