When years of preparation meets opportunity, you take it.

God showed out on this one and made it clear to me that it was time to go.

How I Actually Grow My Business.

A lot of people see entrepreneurship as freedom, but they don’t always see the work behind it. This trip to Missouri was a reminder that growing as a business owner requires relationships, consistency, and showing up.

I drove out to attend an AGC of Missouri networking meetup, meet one of my suppliers in person for the first time, and visit one of my current customers along the way.

Just real business development.

This is the side of entrepreneurship that often gets overlooked:
• Long drives
• Networking
• Building trust
• Learning new markets
• Staying visible
• Creating opportunities before they exist

That’s how businesses grow. One relationship at a time. by @tobe_great

Have you taken any losses in your investing journey? What did it teach you?

This was my very first real estate investment, and I learned a lot the hard way.

Literal rats in the walls and loosing money.
But what I learned from that deal? Worth way more than what I lost.

If you’re thinking about real estate… don’t just look at the success stories. This is the stuff they don’t post.

🔥 Part 2 drops soon: The rat saga begins…

Here’s the truth:
• A solid contract won’t always protect you from a scam.
• Winning a lawsuit doesn’t mean you’ll actually see your money again.
• If the person you’re suing has no assets to garnish, you’re stuck.

After spending over $14K in attorney fees, I learned this the hard way. The judgment was easy to win, but collecting? That’s the part they don’t warn you about.

👉 Lesson: before you go all-in on legal action, understand you could end up worse off than before.

Tamara Jones/Bucket List Stays/ CTG Corporate are not people you want to do business with.

And the craziest part? I later found out I wasn’t the only one. Other investors were scammed by this same company too… but that’s for Part 3. by @tobe_great

📝 “It’s not about how you feel today… it’s about sticking to the plan.”

That’s the mentality I carried into this session. Some days you feel great, some days you don’t — but the work still gets done.

Here’s the full workout I ran:
• Heel Elevated Squats → 12–20 reps x 4–5 sets (chasing the burn & pump)
• Walking Lunges (40 lbs) → 2–3 sets, ~15–20 yards each
• Hamstring Curls → 12–20 reps x 4–5 sets
• Overhead Shoulder Press (behind the head) → 15–20 reps x 4–5 sets

🔥 This one was all about legs & shoulders, with focus on volume and control.

👉 Lesson: your feelings don’t decide your results — your consistency does.

How I built my business while still working a 9–5

It wasn’t luck. It was strategy:
• I treated nights and weekends like overtime for my dream.
• I used tools like email schedulers to look active during work hours.
• I negotiated flexibility with my employer to buy back pockets of time.
• And when I could, I delegated the admin so I could focus on sales and relationships.

If you’re waiting for the “perfect time” to start your business, it doesn’t exist. You either build around the life you have now, or you’ll keep waiting forever.
