The moment before everything changed

Published 9 days ago • 1 min read

In 2016 I was staring at a stack of loan documents that would change my life forever.

I was 29 years old and about to sign the biggest loan of my life: $500,000 to buy my first franchise.

The numbers made sense on paper.

The monthly payment was $5,000, and the businesses generated ~$17,000 monthly cash flow.

But all I could think about was the weight of the debt.

If the business had failed, it would have bankrupted my family.

The hardest part isn’t getting approved for the loan. It’s not even making the payments.

The hardest part is trusting that you can handle whatever comes next.

Because something always comes next.

People quit. Equipment breaks. Vendors raise prices. A hurricane rips off a corner of your roof, shutting you down for 2 weeks.

Owning a business means you volunteer to get punched in the face — sometimes daily.

It’s not about avoiding getting hit.

It’s about how you respond.

It’s about doing whatever it takes.

It’s about staying positive no matter what.

I’m positive to a fault but I don’t care. I believe everything happens for a reason and I’ve never been wrong — everything always works out.

That first loan became the seed to a $45M+ per year business I own today.

But none of that would have happened if I hadn’t picked up that pen.

There is no greater investment than your own business.

Owning franchises has changed my life. They help stack the odds in your favor by starting with a proven business model, training, support, and community to support you.

My team helps people buy their first franchise. 100% free to you.

The quickest way to build wealth

You've been lied to. "Expert" financial advisors tell you to keep your money in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. They celebrate when your portfolio earns 10-15% in a year. “This is the slow & steady way to build wealth.” They only care about controlling your money to get their 1% fees — not making you wealthy. Real wealth isn't created in the markets. It’s created by owning strong cash-flowing businesses. The financial industry doesn't want you to know this because they can't earn fees from...

What I learned from 20 franchisees behind closed doors

I wrapped an awesome weekend in Florida with 20 elite franchisees as part of my 8-Figure Franchisee mastermind. 12 lessons learned: 1/ Be intentional Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. Either you’re executing your plan, or you’re executing someone else’s. 2/ Screw incremental growth You don’t need permission to take massive leaps. Your “5-year plan” can happen in 18 months with the right strategy and support. 3/ Cash on Cash is king Return on capital is way more important than...
