So, I’m inspired by success, becoming successful.

inspires you: I usually think about what inspires me. Music inspires me. But, who? I would say my wife, my daughter, my teammates.

why: My teammates inspire me because I’m not successful unless they’re successful. So, I’m inspired by success, becoming successful. And this whole system is really built on growth. I’m measuring growth by how many shops we have open and how many people are able to own those shops, and have a sense of ownership to create wealth for themselves and their families. So, I’m inspired to do good. And do is good is my team winning.

challenged by: A challenge is, it’s a lot of good opportunities coming my way no, and it’s challenging because it doesn’t help me when it comes to focusing. Back in high school, we had to take tests, and 3 answers are wrong, 1 answer is right. Now, all the answers are right, which one is the best answer? So, if there’s a building available and I have the opportunity to buy that, or if this is available and I have the opportunity to do that. It’s taking my time away from building the Social Club. So, that’s the biggest challenge right now, it being too many good answers.

biggest priority: My biggest priority in life right now is my marriage. No, no, it’s not actually. My biggest priority in life right now is myself. Being the best me, and becoming the best me. And, I think marriage is a part of that, but my biggest priority in my life right now, is me.
