Day 1 – Struggles & Wins 5 Struggles 1. Being Present One of my biggest struggles is balancing ambition and presence. I'm constantly building businesses, chasing goals, and trying to create a better future for my family. But there are times when I wonder if I'm spending enough time enjoying the people I am doing it all for. 2. The Pressure Never Stops Most people see the success. They don't see the pressure. Every Friday there are employees expecting paychecks. Clients expecting results. Realtors expecting us to deliver. My family expecting me to provide. I carry that responsibility every day. Some days it's motivating. Other days it's heavy. 3. Fear of Going Backwards I've worked too hard to get where I am. I remember what it felt like to struggle financially. I remember wondering how bills would get paid. That fear never completely leaves you. It's one of the reasons I still push as hard as I do. 4. I Have a Hard Time Slowing Down Whether it's business, fitness, investing, or personal growth, I tend to go all in. That mindset has helped me build a lot, but it has also cost me. Sometimes I forget that recovery is just as important as effort. 5. Putting Too Much Pressure on Myself I want to be a great father.A great leader.A great businessman.A great investor.A great athlete. The problem is that sometimes I expect perfection from myself, and perfection is an impossible standard. 5 Wins 1. I Built Something From Nothing There was a time when I had more dreams than resources. Today I've built businesses that support my family, create jobs for others, and give me opportunities I never thought were possible. I'm proud of that. 2. My Kids Get to See What's Possible I don't just tell my kids to chase their dreams. They get to watch me chase mine. They see me take risks, solve problems, overcome setbacks, and continue moving forward. Hopefully that teaches them that anything is possible if they're willing to work for it. 3. I Stayed Sober Giving up alcohol was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Three "I" statement hooks 1. I managed $4 billion. Six months in jail taught me what Wall Street couldn’t 2. I had to get arrested to figure out that money problems aren't a math problem 3. I drove a car I couldn't afford while advising billionaires on their money

@David Whitton Question: What do I think about Dave Ramsey? Emotion to Evoke: Relief Visual: talking head? I'm not very creative ha! Hook (on screen): The #1 tool in personal finance is shame. It doesn't work. Script: Dave Ramsey calls people idiots on the radio. Suze Orman tells you you 'can't afford it.' That shaming doesn't create lasting change, it creates relapse. In sobriety, I learned that shame is the fuel of addiction, not the cure for it. You can't hate yourself into lasting change. Ramsey has helped millions of people. But there are millions more looking for something different. Save this and comment QUIZ if you're tired of being shamed about your money.
