“There is no favorable wind for the sailor who doesn’t know where to go” - Seneca
Over the last 15 years, I’ve built and sold multiple seven figure businesses, developed and closed dozens of successful real estate deals, and been recognized on Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500 list for founding and leading one of the 250 fastest growing companies in America. Today my body, soul, and mind are tattooed with the physical, mental, and emotional scars to prove it. It took me 35 years to complete the journey to the top of my mountain, but nothing along the way could have prepared me for what I found there: Most of the modern American success story is a lie!
I’d finally made it into the inner circle - the who’s who of business, wealth, influence, and power; but what I found behind the glittery curtain was horrifying - an endless carousel of anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, overworked, addicted, depressed, lonely, disconnected, people, many of whom were distant from their spouse and barely knew their kids. Sadly, there was simply no time or energy left for these problems after paying the enormous physical, mental, and emotional dues demanded to maintain their status and standing in the exclusive circle of elites. The cost is unbearable, but once the image and “success” have become branded onto your identity, the payment is non-negotiable. The most horrifying discovery of all - I WAS ONE OF THEM!
In 2018, I finally made a choice. Something had to change. I started to ask myself the question - What would my 10-year-old self say about my life right now? How about my 80-year-old self? Over the next several years, I embarked on a new journey to EDIT MY BUSINESS AND MY LIFE INTO SOMETHING I ACTUALLY LOVE. I RECOVERED my tattered mental and emotional health; UNCOVERED new margin in my time, energy, and money; and DISCOVERED how to chase authentic passions, impact, and deep vibrant connections with myself, my family, my faith, and my work. The restoration of my mental health, my happiness, and ultimately my soul, has only been possible because of the various coaches, mentors, and therapists who have helped guide me to the realize that CHANGE IS A SIMPLY A CHOICE TO DO THE WORK.
Over the last several years, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share the secrets I’ve learned along the way through coaching and mentoring others in their journey to do the same; and in doing so, have discovered my LIFESONG.
