Look, I'm gonna be real with you...

This year has been straight up BRUTAL. Like, wake-up-and-question-everything brutal.

I'm talking about those mornings when you stare at your bank account and think, "What am I even doing?"

You know what I'm talking about. That gut-punch feeling when you're working harder than you've EVER worked... and your revenue looks like it's going backwards.

Yeah. That's been my 2025.

And here's the thing nobody tells you about entrepreneurship (because they're too busy posting their highlight reels on LinkedIn)...

Sometimes you're gonna feel like you're losing your mind.

Every obstacle you overcome? There's another one RIGHT behind it like some sick joke.

I wrote in my journal: "It feels like we're fighting for every single inch."

Every. Single. Inch.

But here's what I figured out (and why I'm sharing this messy truth with you)...

What if this ISN'T failure?

What if this is exactly what growth looks like when you're about to break through to the next level?

I mean, think about it. Joshua felt completely unqualified to lead Israel. God literally had to tell him "Don't be afraid" THREE TIMES in one chapter.

Why? Because Joshua was scared out of his mind.

Sound familiar?

Here's the raw truth: When you're investing more to make less... when every win feels hard-fought... when you're questioning if you even know what you're doing...

You might be exactly where you need to be.

Not where you WANT to be. Where you NEED to be.

And if you're in that place right now (fighting for every inch, wondering if you've lost your mind, staring at numbers that don't make sense)...

You're not alone.

You're not failing.

You might just be in the storm before the breakthrough.

Listen up...

You're LYING to yourself if you think you're gonna magically start crushing life when your situation gets "better."

I spent a DECADE locked up. Ten years. And you know what I learned?

The guys waiting for release to "really start living"? They never did ANYTHING when they got out.

But the ones who figured out how to WIN inside those concrete walls? Man... they came out UNSTOPPABLE.

Here's the brutal truth nobody wants to hear: Your circumstances don't create your results. YOUR CHOICES DO.

I was 21, facing what felt like a life sentence, surrounded by chaos and violence... and I had a choice. Let that place break me down OR use every single minute to build myself up.

Guess which one actually works?

This episode is about the FIRST lesson that changed everything for me (and yeah, there's seven more coming because prison was basically a masterclass in life that nobody signs up for).

"Do your time, don't let your time do you."

Sounds simple, right? It's NOT.

Most people are getting DONE by their time right now. Scrolling. Waiting. Making excuses. Living on autopilot.

I'm gonna show you how to flip that script... how to take control of your 24 hours like your LIFE depends on it (because it does).

If you're tired of waiting for tomorrow to save you, this one's for you.

Stop waiting. Start DOING.
