Today, I just want to share with you my very best career advice. Now. I'm not an official career advisor. I am a coach who's helped build hundreds of businesses. I've had over 612 clients one-on-one and I've actually had ownership and multiple businesses that have consultant. So I dropped out of school when I was 18 years old I decided this is not for me. I don't enjoy this. This is not fun. And it's not getting me anywhere. I don't want to be in massive debt doing something that I hate. It makes no sense. And I walked out I quit then I proceeded to work a few odd jobs here and there I drove people to their parties or I would babysit or I would chop wood. I would you know, do these little jobs here and there just to make it work. Somehow, you know just enough money to survive and then I got a job as a janitor and that was my stable job for quite a while as I transitioned into building my own business doing what I loved. Now, as I was in this process of building my business. There were a lot of opportunities to go big right these grandiose ideas about having an agency where I was working with all these big companies or having this gutter. Business structure or entity that would magically produce income while I slept and I had all these distractions and all these ideas and all these thoughts and its really what ultimately slowed me down because what I realized that created such a profound Epiphany for me was that ultimately the most valuable thing is time. Yes, you need to make money. Yes, you need resources to live a good life for sure. It makes a difference if you have a lot of wealth It makes your life a lot easier. You have more freedom more options to choose from. However. Don't trade your happiness for a few extra coins. Make a decision to stick with what you really care about what really matters to you because ultimately what you will regret. It's not having spent your time doing the things that really make you feel alive. Now granted if you have no business experience, it's better to get some under your belt and try some different things before you discover this magical thing. And before you really really dive in deep into your passion. It's okay to work a few jobs and you know, try different business ideas. That's all right. But once you've found it Don't Stray don't go into other places. So many people on YouTube Facebook and all social media are giving the advice that you got to start a business and here's this business model that I found and it works and now you gotta go join my Mastermind or my group and we're going to teach you everything right and 90% of the people that join these groups don't succeeds. I know because I've been part of many of these groups throughout my career. Plenty of programs that claim to teach you the secrets to social media marketing or there some secret way that you're going to make this money and the truth is really ultimately it's all the same BS. There's no secret. There's no method that anybody knows that so much better than you now it helps to have mentors and people that are coaching you that's why I hired a coach and that's why I joined those groups to begin with but you have to make a decision to figure out what gets results. What actually works in the business break down those steps figure it out? What will move the needle forward for you? And even if you want a really prosperous jog, that's cool, too. Nothing wrong with that but figure out what will move the needle for you career-wise because it's so easy to get lost in all this advice and all these ideas and all these thoughts that are like, oh I'm gonna make millions and millions now. Cool. Yes. Maybe you could but here's the thing. Even if there's a business model that works amazingly and generates all this and come by the way a lot more people would be doing it if it works and then it gets saturated very quickly, right? But even if there was and you could use it you'd still be spending the vast majority of your time doing something where the primary objective is just to generate income and that's cool. But watch this what if you were doing a primary objective that generates a lot of income that gets you towards your goals, but Also was fulfilling to you you love doing it. You had a burning passion and desire for it. You actually got excited every time you were doing it and it made you feel alive more than anything else on the planet. See my thoughts my idea that changed my life was how can I get paid doing what I love the very most how can I do what I enjoy doing the very most the process the thing? That's the most fun to me to do. How can I get paid for it? And for me it was a one on one coaching with clients. And so that's what I built my business on helping them build businesses. Yes, that was a part of it but a large portion of it life coaching and helping people figure out their relationships their health their entire life most importantly their mindset so that they can be better people be their best self then extended that into helping them build their businesses and that's what I do a lot of the time now, I want you to understand that a lot of the career advice that you will get especially if you're young. It's just people putting their intentions on you people trying to put you into their funnel people that want your money. Okay, and sure everybody wants money. Everybody wants to create income and that's cool. But ultimately ultimately you need to be happy. You need to be fulfilled. You need to be doing something that lights you up because that will create the most fulfilling life for you. That's what will make you get the most out of this experience. It's so easy to get Caught up in the wealth thing maybe because you have a childhood where you didn't really have a lot of resources and your family wasn't that well off or because you didn't grow up in the pretty luxurious environment. So you're used to that a lot of the time it's healthy to not be making some crazy amount of money because it imbalances you and the puts your attention on generating resources all the time and taking and taking and taking and there's nothing wrong with giving value in receiving in return absolutely go for it, but Getting obsessed with this money making thing to where it's unhealthy and it's just this Obsession and that's you're just doing it for the purpose of doing it and sure you're giving some to charity and you tell yourself. This is why but it's just another addiction. It's just like being addicted to anything else. You are doing it and that's where you get your self-esteem from and that's how you feel good about yourself by being the guy or the girl that generates a lot of money. So don't get caught up in this same thing goes for trying to be a doctor so that your family is happy or trying to be a lawyer or doing something prestigious. So that people like you more get out of all that get out of your head listen to your heart for once. What does it actually want you to do and then figure out a way to generate income around that so that it's not just a hobby so that you take it seriously so that you are Sharp turning your skills everyday, right? If I was just coaching as a hobby. I wouldn't be nearly as good and effective as I am. Now, I wouldn't create the breakthroughs that I do. That's a good driving force. That's a good healthy link to have that you get rewarded the more you serve people not the more you scam. People are get them into your funnel where they never even get results. What's the point in that not everybody will be qualified to work with me for instance it cost money. But those that do get real amazing results. That's all I care about. My clients stay with me for four or five years. That's fulfilling. That's a real relationship where someone is constantly growing and that comes from just being passionate and loving what I do. So if you want a career where you love what you do and you're engaged and the people that you're working with are the projects that you're working on. Really makes sense to you and they click with your heart. Not your head. You got to make that choice to you. Got to make that decision where you say, you know, what it's tempting to chase these ideas. It's tempting to go in this direction. Maybe somebody's persuading you maybe somebody selling you something. But when you finally make up your mind to stick to what you really really care about. That's when you've chosen the ultimate career path the career path where you are happy where if you only live for 3 months longer you had the best three months. Life with no regrets because you chase the you pursue that with all you had and it really mattered to you. So what if you've built a five billion dollar company, if you don't give a crap about what you built it for or what it does or how it serves the world. It doesn't matter. It's meaningless don't chase a business model because it works use a business model because it works. Yes, but use it in a way where it fuels the thing that you care about and if you're going after the money then make sure that it's not taking up so much time that most of your time is just going to generating the money and then five percent of the time is spent doing what you love. That's crazy. Why would you trade 50% of your time for 5% where you get to work on the things that really Our to you because you generate the money here just find a way to bridge it so that you can have the 50% or your whole life really being invested into the things that matter the most to you. Don't get caught in this trap. It's such a big thing right now online. Don't get caught in it. Do not let yourself be persuaded stay firm decide what it is that matters to you and I've countless videos where I talk about follow your joy lean into the things that are fun to you. There's a way to generate income around That thing that's the ultimate career. It's scary. Yes, but if you put up a dance video every day for a year, you're gonna get better and you're going to start to gain some Traction in the tension. If you learn to do a little bit of marketing learn good skills that are valuable you can start getting exposure all of a sudden people are noticing you whatever right you want to take it in from their crates, but you've made a beginning whatever that is for you art whether you want to teach a skill. Whatever way and capacity you have or want to have serving the world do it with all your heart. Do the thing that really makes sense to you do the thing clicks with your heart.

I give you my best advice towards having a successful career from my own personal experience.

I decided I didn’t want to collect a debt to work a job I hate. After that, I struggled. I could barely make enough money to survive. I drove people to their parties or babysit or chop wood. All these gigs just to get by. I also got a job as a Janitor. That was 6 years ago. Now I am a certified life coach and financially secure. What led to this change? I figured out a career path for myself and hope I can do the same for you with this advice. Right now you must be getting tons of career advice from different sources. Maybe people telling you to get a safe respected job like a doctor or engineer. Maybe an online guru asking you to buy his course and make money while you sleep. In all this noise how do you find what's right for you? The most important thing you need to focus on is what are your likes. Is it dance? Is it some sports? Is it art? Whatever gives you some joy that’s what you need to nurture. I am not saying to completely quit everything and dance yourself to being broke. Nope. Start transitioning into it slowly. Maybe upload one dance video a day or open a dance blog. Putting time into that thing daily is important because that’s how you can build an income around that. That’s what happened for me. I started uploading one self-help video every day. I polished my skills and now I get paid for it.
