Your competition isn't other people.

Your competition is your laziness.

Your negative thoughts.

Your comfort zone.

Compete against that.

I fired a client who was paying me $25,000 a month.

My team thought I was insane.
My accountant nearly had a stroke.
My family questioned my judgment.

But it was the easiest business decision I've ever made.

Why? Because that $25K was costing me $100K in opportunities I couldn't pursue.

Most entrepreneurs never see this hidden math.

They accept “opportunities” they KNOW they should reject…

They STILL send the proposal even after the client haggled every f*cking detail and the red flags were everywhere…

…then wonder why they’re slaves to their business.

After building three companies (and burning out twice), I finally understood what separates average from elite:

Their willingness to say "NO."

They understand something most never grasp:

Every "yes" is a silent "no" to a hundred better possibilities.

It’s why most entrepreneurs eventually hit a plateau.

I learned this lesson the hard way myself.
It took me losing my health and relationships for it to finally click.

Which is why I developed the “Achievement Roadmap System”…

Think of it as having a GPS for your business.

It helps you get crystal clear on what the real direction is.
What to focus on… AND what to ignore.

It makes every decision simple:
"Will this get me closer to my destination, or is it just a distraction?"

Truth is.. the elite were never any smarter than you…
They just had better maps.

This is just one of the maps I share with thousands of my coaching clients.

And I’m opening up spots for a select few business owners who are tired of chasing everything and getting nowhere.

If you want to know how to focus on growth like never before…

The wealthy know these truths. The rest learn them too late.

To live a life others can't have, you must be prepared to walk paths they avoid.

It's normal to feel alone in the process.

It’s required.

Expect it.

Own it.

Never lower your drive just so you can "fit in".

You're on the right path.

Stick to it.

You owe it to yourself to see it through.

Most business advice is bullsh*t.

The "hustle harder" crowd?
Selling you a heart attack at 45…

The "passive income" gurus?
Actively working 80 hours to convince you they’re not…

After building and selling three companies, I’ve seen what most miss.

90% of entrepreneurs are playing the WRONG game entirely.

They exhaust themselves optimizing their marketing, teams, and systems...
While the elite focus on something entirely different:

Becoming impossible to compete with.

While most entrepreneurs focus on external strategies, the elite focus on internal mastery.
While others try to control markets, they control their responses to those markets.

They operate by fundamentally different rules.

I spent 7 years refining this approach, testing it with my own companies.

The result is a framework I now call "The 5 Daily Non-Negotiables.”

A process that fundamentally changes how you show up, how you make decisions, how you execute…

And ultimately… how you win.

I'm letting in a few more entrepreneurs who want to finally play the game they know they should’ve been.

Text me “COACH” @ +1 778-652-8414 and let's map your new path.

12: Taken from my home, thrown into foster care.
15: Locked behind bars for the first time.
16: Back in jail. Everyone had written me off.
17: Ended up in rehab. Taught myself to code.
19: Landed my first real job.
24: Founded Spheric Technologies. Went broke putting everything into it.
27: Exited the company. Hit my first million.
31: Second exit. People started paying attention.
34: Started posting on YouTube. No clue what I was doing.
35: Third exit. Married the woman of my dreams.
36: Started SaaS Academy. Grew it into the largest SaaS coaching company in the world.
43: Published Buy Back Your Time. Watched it become an instant bestseller.
44: Crossed 1M subs on YouTube & Founded Martell Ventures (AI Incubator).
45: Just getting started.

The system said I was broken.
The world said I was finished.
The odds said I wouldn't make it.

I said watch me.

Everyone has their own timeline and map. 
Stick to yours. 
Do whatever is necessary to win.

Keep crushing.

If you're having a hard time today...

Just remember there was a time in the past when you only dreamed about being where you are now.

What you're going through is getting you ready for your next level.

Keep going.

Progress isn't always easy to see.

But it's always there.

Every entrepreneur runs TWO businesses:

1. The business everyone sees (products, marketing, team)
2. The business nobody sees (thinking, decisions, mindset)

I spent years mastering the first while completely ignoring the second.

The result?
A "successful" business that was SLOWLY KILLING me.

Revenue up, quality of life down.
Winning on paper, losing everywhere else.

But when I looked at the entrepreneurs who actually had freedom, I saw it...

The top 1% aren't better at business.
They're better at being the PERSON who runs the business.

While most founders obsess over marketing, teams, and systems...
The elite obsess over rewiring their thinking. Their identity. Their mind.

So I did the same…

Studied the patterns. Tested the methods.
And nailed it down to the “5 Daily Non-Negotiables” I still use to this day.

A process that fundamentally changes how you show up…
How you make decisions…
How you execute…
And ultimately… how you win.

One client went from 60-hour weeks to 30, while doubling his profits.
Another deleted 12 weekly meetings and still crushed their quarterly goals.

And they’re not unique.

I've coached thousands of founders to escape the prison they built.
To finally build a business they don’t grow to hate.

I have a few spots open if you’re interested in the same.

Text me "COACH" @ +1 778-652-8414 and let’s see if it’s a fit.

Waiting won't make it easier.
It just makes it later.

You don't need the perfect setup.
You just need to start.

The rest you'll figure it out along the way.

That's how progress works:
First you move.
Then you improve.

The only mistake is waiting.

I was rich, but I felt like a loser.

This photo was taken the day before I decided to quit drinking forever.

I knew better.

I'd been to rehab at 17. Kicked dr*gs. Stayed clean for years.

But alcohol tricked me.

It said it was harmless… different.

It wasn't.

When I drank, I hurt people. Said things I regretted. Became someone I hated.

I was replaying my own childhood…

The chaos, the arguments, the pain.

And now I was doing it to my family.

About to hand my kids the same emotional baggage I spent years trying to unload.

Quitting wasn't just a choice. It was the ONLY choice.

Nobody believed it would stick...

... but I did.

Because I made the stakes huge:

One more drink, and I'd lose my family and my kids.

That promise has held me steady for 13 years.

I share this now, hoping it'll inspire you to dump your vices.

Maybe it’s alcohol, weed, gambling, vapes, gaming, or something worse.

Whatever it is… it's quietly taking from your life.

It's affecting the people you love most.

And it will always act as a ceiling to your greatness.

Nobody gets to the end of their life and thinks:

"I wish I'd spent more time hungover."

Draw the line.
Own your story.
Become the person you needed when you were at your worst.

Some will read this and think "That's not me."
Others will feel it hit too close to home.

For the second group:
Your rock bottom is wherever you decide to stop digging.

You’re one decision away from becoming someone you can finally respect.

Make it.

Today.

While you still can.
