I worked at Red Lobster for years while building FUBU.
Not because I didn’t believe in my dreams. Because it was smart.
That job:
- Taught me sales and inventory
- Paid my bills
- Bought fabric and materials for my business
People don’t realize it, but sometimes the day job is your first investor. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t have the means to quit your job right away. Use it as fuel for your dreams and goals. Build slow if you have to.
God will often assign a destiny to you that is so big that you must grow into the person who can achieve it and trust God through its delays, difficulties and disappointments! #NotTodaySatan
The generations coming after us don’t deserve to inherit lukewarm faith. Our kids, and every young believer watching our lives, need to see what full devotion to Jesus looks like. Your obedience, your surrender, and your “all in” lifestyle will shape their future.
Most of my life is made up of failures… Most of my ideas didn’t work. Most of my shots missed. But I only needed one… One God. One wife. One FUBU. One Shark Tank.
And as I’ve gotten older, real success is about using what you’ve been given to lift somebody else up. @brandonsawalich and I see it this the same way that failure is not the end of the story. That lesson shows up in @starkey’s work who are helping give the gift of hearing and are always putting people first. I’m grateful to be part of something that reminds me what real success feels like 🙏🏾
