You see, many people are trapped in a vicious cycle of “what next?” or there has to be more… then stop there..

They work jobs they dislike and for bosses, they don’t like.

They get paid less than they're worth, they get bored, they quit or get laid off, and then start all over again with a new job they dislike.

Unmotivated and fall into bad habits.

A life their not excited about, some debt, stress, and even disappointment.

This leads to more financial setbacks which cause further low self-esteem and a downward spiral into even more unhappiness.

Living from paycheck to paycheck

Just to pay the bills and meet basic needs and if you’re lucky take that 1 vacation.

It's a vicious circle that keeps repeating itself over and over and only a few people ever get out of it.

I didn’t want that for me

One day while working my corporate job, I realized I’ve climbed as high up the “corporate ladder” as I was willing to and knew I needed to do something that excited me.

I spent the last two decades chasing “excitement”. After leaving the air force, I became a cop. Four years later I found myself in sales. Got bored with sales and ended up in corporate leadership development.

One company to the next, I was still chasing and making others responsible for my life of excitement. But I knew that there was more for me.

I wanted to do something that I was passionate about and I wanted to be my own boss.

I wanted to have more freedom, flexibility, and time to do the things that I love. I started doing leadership videos on Instagram for my employees as a way to motivate them during the day.

One day I was asked to speak at another organization on leadership topics just like the topics I was covering on social media.

I said “yes!” with that level of excitement I was looking for.

To my surprise, I was given a check for one thousand dollars! Up to this point, I had no clue people got paid to speak. How could I not know this, right? You’re doing something right now that you could get paid for.

At that moment, it clicked!!! “I’m going to be a paid speaker!
