https://www.youtube.com/embed/o_GFl1lppdA Actually being successful or like moving outof our mom's basement or whatever we put so much energyand time into the presentation of not looking like that situation instead of putting the energyand time into actually finding a solution to that issue.And so at that point it was like okay I've been puttinga lot of time and effort trying to pretend things are good instead of actuallytrying to find solutions and then, that's when I started to do everything I needed to do to tryto make money and just really... when I say embraceit's not necessarily like accept it for what it isit's almost like, "Okay, this is real I need to figure this out." Taking your surroundingsyou take in the people around you you see how they're making money and I just didn't likebegging people for money.And so I respected the guysthat were like figuring out hustles right? And so, for instance, there was an Amacoright down the street from me and so, I would go there and I wouldwash windshields and make money just try to save up enough moneyto just be in a motel for the night and I mean like the nastiest motel but for me it was just taking in my environment,seeing how other people hustled how I can do it better. Someone taught me how to playdrums on buckets and things like that. And so, you know, I justtried to do any type of hustle that I could. I just started to learn how others were movingand kind of adapted throughout. For me, it's... it's opening your mindand opening yourself to people. I think a lot of people they are ignorant, they are..Like rejecting change. Travel get out of your comfort zone, meet people from all differenttypes of backgrounds. If you want to build a productor service or company that you want to build at scale and your friends are only the homiesthat you've been hanging out with since you know, middle school.Probably should meet some more people, get to know them, travel the world. You know, and even if youdon't have the resources to travel the internet, learn about differentcultures, learn about different people. You're at that computeryou tell me what you want to do I tell you, this is how you search this is... this is howyou find those resources. Now you got to actually go and learn. You have to be able to show peoplethat there's other options and that's whatspreading seeds is all about.Showing people that they canactually do something different. There's one thing being homeless but there's another thing havingeverything taken away from you. I was literally living out of my car and so, even though I was homeless I was still trying to upholdthe appearance of everything being okay. When that moment happenedit was like, Whoa this is rock bottom, because now all my clothes are gone, all the cool shoes,all the things that were material umm that you know, I tried to fake ituntil I figured things out were gone. Now and not only that all the the the elements, so... now rain and snow and all thesethings can get in the car.So it was like mildewy and smellyand so I smelled, right! And so for me in that moment I understood that wow this is...I thought things were bad but things are reallyreally bad at this point. And now I can't pretend anymore,I just have to really embrace this I think a lot of timeswhen we're going through things we kind of try to figure out how we're going to finesse our way into... people not knowing that things,things are wrong instead of just saying this is my life this is real now. You have like these brief momentsof kind of peace until like the nextaccident happens, right? And that's just life in general. You know it's never going to becomplete smooth sailing. One of the things thatI’ve noticed about a lot of people is that they let the hardshipsand the things that happen in their life failure stop them from like Aaliyah says, you know,"Dust yourself off and try again" right? And for me, I’ve just never let anything or anybody prevent mefrom achieving what I want to achieve so I’ve always hadthis relentless mentality.And if you say I can't do something if I fail, if I you know, mess up it just motivates me even more,I just become even more hungry and so I’ve always just had this you know, relentless mentality. I don't take, you know, no for an answer, I don't take failureor accept failure at all and it's just always been kind ofin my heart to not give up. It's the rose that growsfrom concrete, right? It's like no matter howterrible a situation is, no matter how bad it is there's still going to be a rosethat grows from that concrete. And I feel like I was that, right? No matter what my situation wasI was built for this.I was not going to let myself fail right! and I had that mentality and I understand that now, that I grew from that concreteI’m starting to plant my seeds and there's more roses growing. What's so specialabout the internet now is really anything you wantto do you can learn. Like if you want to learn how to code,if you want to be a developer, you want to build software,you want to build apps you can literally go on YouTubeand learn how to code.And so, what I would tell that person is what do you want to do? Tell me anything, what do you want to do? Right? Now, there's resourcesand there's things online that can help you build yourselfinto whatever that is. So I think that- that kidat the end of the day he has to have that kind of just, "I got to make this happen" right? Here's the thing -no one can teach you that. At the end of the day, man,you really got to want it. You got to really want it. And I think the problem isis now with social media, before.. When I was growing up I didn't see all these examplesof people having cool cars or doing cool stuff all the time like, right? And now with social mediaI don't care if you're in like you know, in the middle of nowhereyou can log on to Instagram and see just this whole worldof experiences and things.The problem is, it's like, "Oh well, these people have itso I should be able to have it." and it's just like, man you don't seethe work that goes behind this. Man, I started my firstmarketing job at 14. I’m 10 years into entrepreneurship. It wasn't until the past few years where I started reallygetting recognition for it, right? And so people don't see all that it takes to even get to that pointand that's the problem. And so, they think it's supposed to bethis- this overnight thing Oh, I started LLC give me money.No, that's not how it works. This is a marathon, this is not a sprint right? You never know when thatmoment is going to happen in your life where you find that passionor you figure it out. The fun partis just trying a bunch of stuff like when you get to a point whereyou can just try a bunch of stuff it's like, Hey, sit down make a list I’m interested in all thesedifferent things, right? Okay, I’m interestedin these top five things.Now, how can I do something that not only am I passionate aboutwith one of these top five things but also make at leastenough money to just get by. A lot of times the thing that's stopping us from being the person thatwe truly want to be is ourselves. It's usually ourselves. And I think being able to identify mental health, depression, anxiety,all these things that we're dealing with and say that we want to make a change and we humble ourselvesto want to make that change is one of the biggest barriersthat one can break through. I’m going to launch a much moresuccessful business when I do launch it and it's because I took the time to learn and I just think that peopleare in such a rush to have something especially money, money is like,Oh, I got to get more money.But it's like, if you launchsomething that's piss poor. Even at a point where I hadaccomplished so many things I almost did it, right? We're not perfect. I’m not perfect. You know, I still mess up all the time, man. Earlier today, like I was- came hereat the wrong time, right? So we- we mess up constantly but it's- it's identifying that and saying,wait let me take a step back and let me do this the right way.I am inspired by helping people. If I can make money toodamn, that's cool too, right? But the thing that reallygets me out of bed right now is my ability to help people. I don't need any more money,I don't need any more material things you know as well as I knowthat gets old, right? And you know it feels good temporarily but it doesn't really holdany weight or substance. And so, the thing that I feel like our legacy is how do we affect as many people as possible in the most genuineand impactful way, right? And for me THAT is what drives me today..
