Celebrating my 4,020th day as an entrepreneur —

I jumped on this ride at 19.

Brick by brick by brick, I’ve built from $0.00 to 6 figures in monthly revenue in just over a decade. (So, if you’re not yet at 6 figures in monthly revenue, know that it does take, well, more than a minute to get here. Consistent work is the price we all pay. )

From painting homes in college to running a marketing agency and now building an AI software company called OutreachGenius, it’s been quite the journey!

(By the way, if you’re looking to supercharge your client acquisition game so you can reach your goals faster, you can check out OutreachGenius — link at the end of this article.)

If AI ever creates a time machine, these are the top 3 lessons I’d share with my 19-year-old self:

1 — Embrace the “Whaaat am I doing?” moments.

Figuring things out isn’t just part of the game.

It IS the game.

And guess what, I still wake up sometimes feeling like I don’t know what I am doing! You can’t sit still in that feeling too long though; taking action and experimenting is what you’re meant to do as an entrepreneur.
