Alright! Here we go, 10 things you didn’t know about me!⁣
⁣
# 1️⃣ I was born in Canada, grew up in the U.S.A. - my parents separated and I lived in the States from 5 years old - 21.�⁣
⁣
# 2️⃣ I was homeschooled my whole life outside of kindergarten - all I remember about school was naps and good behaviour slips 😂�⁣
⁣
# 3️⃣ Played the s**t out of video games as a teenager - Halo 1 & 2 was my game! Almost played competitively...🤓�⁣
⁣
# 4️⃣ I lacked education severely growing up, I was 6 grades behind in everything at the age of 14 and illiterate until 15 years old - can you hate? I just wanted to play games...😅�⁣
⁣
# 5️⃣ I travelled a LOT growing up, about 6 months out of the year for most of my childhood - Cali, Colorado, Texas, Hawaii… 🌊 🏄🏼 �⁣
⁣
# 6️⃣ I got a motorcycle right after my 18th birthday - thought I was sooo cool haha, got a yellow bike with matching yellow gear… they called me bumblebee/power ranger 😎😏�⁣
⁣
# 7️⃣ I moved back to Canada at 21 years old - no education, no job experience, struggled with money, finding work - slept on my brother’s couch for 2 months, then I upgraded to matters on the floor for a year. 😴 �⁣
⁣
# 8️⃣ Accumulated $32,000 in debt, didn’t make enough money to cover the cost in my interest payments + living cost - I remember getting a job out of town and had JUST enough money to get to work with noting for food.�⁣
⁣
# 9️⃣ I was an electrician for 6 years - handyman 😉 �⁣
⁣
# 🔟 I’ve invested over $60,000 🤑and the last 5+ years of my life learning how to help others master money so they can pursue their passions.⁣

❤️ Comment below something that no one knows about you...

I recently recognized that I haven't felt the feeling of true adventure & excitement in 6 years.⁣
⁣
In 2014, I started a job from a place of lack and fear, & I gave in to the concept that our society drills into our head, which is...⁣
⁣
An obsession of control over our outcomes and having a "sense" of security at ALL TIMES.⁣
⁣
I recognized that at first it made me feel in control & secure in my life, but as time went on I realized that it was just smoke and mirrors.⁣
⁣
Most of the time, I felt unexcited about life. Because one of the best things in life is not knowing what can happen.⁣
⁣
𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧:⁣
⁣
Let's say you work a "secure" job in which you know exactly the income you're going to make.⁣
⁣
This might seem attractive at first because you can plan everything and know your outcome way down the road.⁣
⁣
But the flip side is that you know exactly what's going to happen every week, month, year, after year, after year...⁣
⁣
You see, the thing about the unknown is that it's one of the biggest contributors to creating an exciting or fulfilling life.⁣
⁣
Without risk or the unknown, we can lose excitement in our lives, and MANY opportunities to grow & enjoy our lives to the fullest.⁣
⁣
𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲...⁣
⁣
Don't be afraid to have a little risk in your life. Let go of trying to control every little thing and the idea of building "security" in your life.⁣
⁣
Because one day you too might just wake up & see that security, and knowing the result of every outcome, can turn into a prison.

Type “yes” if you are with me, and tag 4 friends to inspire them on the path to greatness.⁣
