FROM MY WORLD

A Protégé, a Mastermind, and a 60-Day Business Turnaround

Have you ever met someone who turns your world upside down in the best way possible? 

Someone who walks into your life, and before you know it, you’re building empires together? 

Let me tell you a story about that kind of relationship—one that I almost missed out on because, well, I was too stubborn to see its potential at first.

This guy—let’s call him "The Reluctant Protégé"—came into my life as a student. He wasn’t particularly remarkable, just another name in my email inbox, practically begging me to take him on as a client. 

At first, I said no. But something about his persistence made me eventually cave.

Now, he didn’t exactly blow me away as a student. No fireworks, no confetti. But over time, our relationship evolved. He became more than a student, more than an employee, and eventually, a partner.

And then came the inflection point.

My business hit a wall—a massive, soul-crushing, is-this-the-end kind of wall. 

It’s hard to explain without diving into the weeds, but imagine the foundation of your business being ripped apart, leaving you staring at a pile of rubble. 

That’s where I was.

But this guy—this "Reluctant Protégé"—showed up with a solution. 

Not just any solution. A genius-level, business-saving, profit-tripling solution. 

And he didn’t stop there. He brought in a friend, someone so sharp and creative that I still wonder if his brain is made of a different material than ours.

These two didn’t just save my business. They transformed it. 

Within 60 days, what looked like the end turned into a massive leap forward. Revenue tripled. My faith in the power of relationships skyrocketed.

Fast forward to today, and this relationship has blossomed into something that’s impossible to define. 

We’ve traveled the world together, navigated challenges, and built wealth beyond what I ever imagined. It's like the movie Inception—layers upon layers of projects, experiences, and investments.

Here’s the kicker: I almost said no to this guy. I almost missed out on the single most transformative relationship of my career.

So, let this be a reminder: Never underestimate the power of one connection. It could be the person who takes your business, and your life, to heights you never dreamed possible.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

Your Biggest Enemy is in Your Head

Your brain has an invisible control panel—and sometimes it feels like someone is in charge of the settings.

That's what limiting beliefs are like. They silently run your life from the shadows until something—a life event, a crisis, or even a random insight—flips the lights on.

The funny thing about limiting beliefs is that you often don’t know they’re there until they’ve already done some serious damage. 

They live in this mysterious zone called "what you don’t know you don’t know." 

It’s like trying to fight an enemy you can’t even see. But when one of those beliefs creeps into your conscious awareness, you finally get a chance to tackle it head-on.

So how do you do it?

The first step is to track the belief back to its source. Usually, it stems from a life experience—most likely when you were young, impressionable, and had zero control over your environment. 

These beliefs often have roots in your childhood or teenage years, planted by parents, teachers, or early experiences.

Once you’ve traced the origin, here’s the key: Acceptance.

Accept that the event happened. Accept the emotions it created. Fully process the experience and let it go. 

Sounds simple? 

It’s not. 

But it’s the only way to remove the power that belief holds over you. Think of it like unclogging a drain—you’ve got to pull out the gunk if you want the water to flow again.

I get it, though. 

Letting go is easier said than done. That’s why I don’t try to do it solo. 

There’s a method I’ve used to tackle these beliefs head-on, and it’s been a game-changer. 

It’s not some drawn-out process or temporary feel-good exercise—it’s simple, practical, and highly effective. It helps you release those deep-seated beliefs for good.

Most importantly, the results stick. When you do the work to release those deep-seated beliefs, it transforms how you think, act, and even feel.

The takeaway? Your limiting beliefs aren’t permanent. 

With the right tools, mindset, and support, you can rewrite the script. 

Because at the end of the day, the only thing standing between you and your potential is a belief you haven’t let go of yet.

CURATED READS

A Quirky Call to Purpose

If you’re looking for a book that’s equal parts profound and playful, Soul Boom by Rainn Wilson (yes, Dwight Schrute from The Office) might just be your next must-read.

Rainn dives into big, existential questions with humor, heart, and a surprising dose of practical wisdom. 

The premise? In a world consumed by materialism and stress, we’ve lost touch with what really matters—our spirit. Soul Boom explores how a spiritual revolution could not only heal us individually but also mend the fractures in society.

But don’t expect a preachy or overly-serious tone. Rainn’s quirky, self-aware humor makes the heavy topics digestible and even entertaining. He weaves his own life experiences, moments of doubt, and even his Hollywood adventures into the narrative, making it relatable for anyone—whether you’re spiritually curious or skeptical.

This book is the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed.
