December 2007: I quit my job with almost no savings and a dream friends and family called crazy. Then my wife Christina said, “I believe in YOU. Go all in. We’ll figure it out together.” That single voice drowned out all the doubt. 18 years later: - I work from anywhere - Set my own schedule - Wake up excited every day The only lessons you need: 1. Believe in yourself when no one else does 2. Ignore the negative noise 3. Find your Christina — the one person who believes harder than the doubters scream. If you’ve got a dream that feels too big… this is your sign. Bet on yourself. Find your person. Go build it. Drop a 💯 if you’re going ALL IN in 2026! Who is your go to person for support?

On Wednesday, we will be having our first Premium meetup of the month affectionately called the PERSONALS, and no, it has nothing to do with dating! We will be doing two different break out groups this time. Members will have an opportunity for small group discussions with two different groups. The first discussion will be about growth and the second discussion will be about engagement. Participants will introduce themselves with a short two-sentence introduction to their group and a link in the chat at the beginning of each discussion, so you might want to type up something ahead of time that you can easily copy and paste. No one is forced to talk, so if you want to come and lurk, that's okay too! We're a pretty casual, supportive, and friendly bunch, though! I can't wait to see you there! Oh, and I will need a co-facilitator for the group that I am not a part of, so if you are interested in this, please send me a DM. If you are not yet a Premium member and you would like to attend the meetup, please click here.
