Steve Jobs once said:
"I'm convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance."
Here are 7 things that changed my life:

Here are 7 things that changed my life:
1 | Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable
When I first started knocking doors…
I wanted to crawl into my own shell.
But I learned that growth only happens when you're uncomfortable.
If you're not feeling that resistance, you're not pushing hard enough.

2 | Viewing failure as feedback, not defeat
My business partner stole $300k from me.
I lost almost everything I'd worked for.
But that "failure" taught me more about business than any success ever could.
Every setback is just data.

3 | Focusing on systems, not just hustle
Working 80-hour weeks isn't sustainable.
(I learned this the hard way)
The real game-changer was building systems that ran without my constant presence.
Work smart, not just hard.

4 | Surrounding yourself with people who push you forward
The guys who recruited me for pest control saw something in me that I didn't see in myself.
Find people who believe in your potential and aren't afraid to tell you when you're settling for less.

5 | Taking calculated risks
Moving to Cali with $0 was scary (starting my own company was even scarier).
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned…
It’s that playing it safe is the riskiest move of all, because fortune favors the bold.

6 | Never stopping your education
I didn't go to college…
But I never stopped learning.
Every conversation, every mistake, and every ounce of success taught me something.
The moment you think you know everything is the moment you start falling behind.

7 | Remembering your why when things get tough
When I was broke and wanted to quit…
I remembered why I started.
I didn't want to be like my dad, working a 9-5 just to scrape by with an average life.
That vision kept me going.

The truth is…
Most people quit when they’re about to strike gold.
But if you work smart, learn fast, and never give up on the person you're becoming…
You’ll make it.
