POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The biggest goal I’ve ever set for myself.

I used to tell people “business is my sport” to justify my benchwarmer-level athletic abilities.

It’s all I cared about, and the only thing I felt like I had a competitive edge in.

I set this goal at 16, always wondering what it would take to make the 30 Under 30 list - especially when I still had time to hit it.

Hundreds of failed ideas. Building, pivoting, and learning what actually works.

Every random skill you pick up along the way ends up mattering more than you think.

And ironically, many years later - we’re here.

In the sports category of all places.

Building the future of pickleball.

Thank you to my friends & family who always believed in my crazy ideas.

And thank you, @forbes

Delusional optimism #2026 by @kylesulkar

I have been attempting to build businesses for the last 15 years.

Starting at 11 y/o reselling dirtbikes, then iPhone repair, computer wholesaling, social media, content creation, e-commerce, affiliate, healthcare, lead gen, saas, you name it- I’ve probably tried it.

And throughout all of the trials, tribulations and failures-

Thinking I was on the right path.

Then having my ideas/plans blow up in my face-

The one thing that always kept me moving forward was my love for cars.

Specifically the BMW M3, Porsche 911 Turbo S & Ferrari 458, respectively.

Growing up w/ very little, the cars were a representation of what stability & relative success looked like to me.

Each morning waking up, knowing it was for the taking if I just kept focusing on improving 1% a day.

The actions would compound.

& the dreams would eventually come true.

Which brings us to today.

I’ve had this “event” as a daily goal in my notebook for as long as I can remember…

At 13 years old (when this car came out) writing it down under my “long term visions” while in class-

Imagining driving it while trying to make time pass on treadmill runs.

Using it as the motivation to wake up early & stay up late to build some of my first businesses.

Going to bed dreaming about how it would eventually happen-

But never knowing (what) OR (how) long it’d take.

And to be honest with you, I’ve been moving this then “unrealistic” goal post forward since I was 18.

It was always next year if I do XYZ, “next year, next year”…and the years started piling up.

But I could never quite swing it.

Not to mention trying to justify spending money on a crazy car vs reinvesting it back in the business.

But nonetheless, I want this to let this post serve as a reminder…

That no matter what your upbringing was, or what you think is “unrealistic”-

You can have absolutely anything you want in life.

Literally anything.

Just not always your own schedule.

Definitely one of my worst investments.
But quitting just because I don’t like something isn’t how I roll.
