Studio apartment. Mattress on the floor. Ramen for dinner.

This was my reality at 24.

Grinding 14-hour days building my first company.

I kept thinking the problem was:
• Not enough capital
• Wrong market timing
• Cheap clients

But the truth?

My biggest obstacle was the person staring back in that bathroom mirror.

My mindset was broke.

The apartment wasn't the problem...
The entrepreneur was.

Today:
Multiple 8-figure exits.
A business that serves my life.

Freedom to choose my days.

What changed?
I did.

Used the "5 Daily Non-Negotiables" to completely rebuild:
• How I see opportunities
• What I believe I deserve
• Who I am at my core

The same system that rebuilt me is now transforming thousands of entrepreneurs.

You will never be ready.

You will never be perfect.

You will never know everything.

Start anyway.

The grave is full of people who were "almost ready".

F*ck ready.

Get going.

Business upgrades the person before it scales the company.

It sharpens your judgment.

Gives you emotional control.

Replaces ego with humility.

You don’t just build a revenue stream in business.

You build confidence, consistency, and character.

Entrepreneurship teaches you how to become your 10.0 version.

I run multiple companies in 45 minutes a week... with ONE spreadsheet.

Most CEOs are stuck in back-to-back meetings. And endless Slack threads...

Trying to figure out what's actually happening in their business…

Here's what I learned after 29 years building companies:

If you can't see it, you can't scale it.

The problem isn't that your team isn't trying...

It's that you have ZERO clarity on what’s actually moving the needle.

And what isn't.

My CEO Scorecard is what changed how I lead every company.

Tells me instantly:

- Where we're winning (so I can double down)
- Where we're bleeding (so I can fix it fast)
- Who's crushing it (so I can celebrate them)
- What needs my attention (without the 47 Slack messages)

No more guessing. No more surprises. No more BS update meetings.

Just complete visibility in one place.

Want the exact template I use?

The Musk Empire United: Becoming One Mega-Entity

Imagine a world where robots build rockets, AI agents run factories on Earth and Mars, and one company holds the keys to humanity’s multi-planetary future.

It’s not sci-fi.

Two days ago, Elon Musk pulled off the largest merger in history

SpaceX acquired xAI now valued at $1.25 trillion.

But everyone's reading this as a valuation story. The real story? Leverage.

Let's talk about what just combined:

- SpaceX launched 90% of global payload mass to orbit in 2025
- xAI runs Colossus - the largest AI training cluster on Earth with 200,000+ GPUs
- Starlink has 9,400+ satellites serving 9 million subscribers
- X provides the data that trains Grok.

Elon just vertically integrated space infrastructure with AI infrastructure.

Here's why that matters.

SpaceX launches Starlink satellites for a fraction of what competitors pay. ULA charges $100M+ per mission. SpaceX does it for pennies on the dollar.

That cost advantage built a $10B+ revenue machine in five years.

Now he's applying the same playbook to AI.

xAI doesn't rent compute from Amazon or Microsoft.
It owns the GPUs.

xAI doesn't license training data.
It owns the platform.

xAI is projecting profitability by 2027. OpenAI's target? 2029.

Two years ahead - while spending less.

But here's the part nobody's talking about.

SpaceX's direct-to-cell service with T-Mobile went live in 2025.
Over 650 satellites. 12 million people already using it across 22 countries.

Right now it's texts and basic apps.

But when V3 satellites deploy this year, it could evolve into global 5G coverage for any smartphone.

Think about what that means for AI distribution.

OpenAI has Microsoft.
Anthropic has Amazon and Google.

Elon just built his own distribution layer from orbit.

Grok will be accessible on every phone, everywhere, with no app download required.

Now let's talk about the elephant in the room.

Tesla wasn't part of this merger.

Yet.

On January 16, Tesla dropped $2B into xAI's Series E. The board pushed it through even after shareholders voted it down.

Why force the issue?

Because the integration is already happening.

Grok powers Tesla's autonomy stack.
Tesla's fleet data trains Grok.
Tesla's Megapacks keep Colossus running when the grid can't.

And Musk just called Tesla "an AI and robotics company" on the last earnings call. He killed the Model S and X to make room for Optimus robot production.

The cars were never the endgame.

When Tesla’s Optimus bots are assembling Starships you’ve got robots building rockets, accelerating Mars colonization.

Orbital data centres for AI compute, bypassing Earth constraints.

It’s not business growth. It’s civilization growth.

Here's the sequence as it stands:

✓ xAI absorbs X (2025) - Done
✓ SpaceX absorbs xAI (Feb 2026) - Done
→ SpaceX IPO (targeting mid-2026) - Next
→ Tesla folds in via stock swap - Soon

Walter Isaacson, Elons's biographer, on CNBC last month:

"I think it's going to happen. What you need is real-world AI. Not just texts and tweets, but videos from Teslas, data from Optimus robots seeing and hearing."

"You'll have one order of magnitude increase from what we're looking at now."

One order of magnitude. 10x.

The bulls see a $2.5-3T conglomerate forming.

SpaceX-xAI at $1.25T.
Tesla at $1.5T.
Combine them and you're looking at the largest company on Earth.

Add Neuralink and Boring Co. down the line - you have a vertically integrated empire spanning EVs, energy, AI, rockets, satellites, social media, and brain computer interfaces.

Elon will be the world’s first trillionaire.

This isn't speculation anymore.

SpaceX-xAI is now the most valuable private company in history. The IPO is coming.

Tesla is the obvious next domino.

You can call it visionary. You can call it a house of cards.

But Elon is building something no one's ever attempted - and he's moving faster than anyone expected.

The next 12 months will tell us if it works.

I'm looking for a few entrepreneurs I can make an example of what's possible...

If you're feeling restless it's because:

DEEP DOWN you know you're meant for more.

Most entrepreneurs think it's a new course or book they're missing.

But from experience let me tell you...

It's NOT about more information.

It's about breaking the sabotaging beliefs that keep you hitting your pain line.

One of the ways I help my private clients overcome this is with "5 Daily Non-Negotiables" that are designed to make winning inevitable.

Focusing on becoming the 10.0 version of you... to break through that pain line.

Text me "COACH" @ 1-778-652-8414 and I'll reach out to see if it's a fit.

I want you to win more than you'll ever know...

Even if our paths never cross. Even if I never see your face.

Truth is... I'm not special. Never was.

I just woke up one day, made a simple promise to be 1% less of a mess than yesterday, and somehow kept going.

Every word I write, every lesson I share - it's all for you.

I'll be here every day, showing up, sharing everything I learn.

Not because I have to. Because I need to.

This isn't just work for me. This is my purpose.

I'll never stop serving.

Never stop showing up.

Never stop believing in you.

Even on the days you stop believing in yourself.

You can count on me 👊 🩵

The fastest way to lose is to start thinking you might.

It creates distraction. It eats away at focus.

And the fastest way to win? Have a delusional amount of belief.

Belief that turns into focus. Focus that turns into obsession.

Talk about your dreams with a delusional amount of confidence.

Use your words to create focus, and speak them into existence.

Replace “maybe” and “I should” with “I will” and “just watch me.”

Your dreams are counting on YOUR conviction.

Don’t let them down.

It's wild how people still waste hours on Zoom trying to close deals.

2 years ago I tried something crazy.

Cancelled every call and started chatting in DMs…

It could have tanked my business.

But I closed MORE deals, casually chatting on Instagram, between meetings.

Millions in revenue, zero sales calls.

Want the playbook?

I ran an experiment 2 months ago and it proved something I've known for years:

Most people are not the solution to their business problems. They are the problem.

I showed 19,000+ people how to automate, delegate, and systematize their way out of 60 hour weeks.

The frameworks work. I've used them. My clients have used them to scale to 7 and 8 figures.

But most won't implement them.

Why?

Because being "busy" has become their identity.
Being "needed" makes them feel important.
Being overwhelmed gives them something to complain about.

And deep down, letting go of control terrifies them.

So they'll keep saying they're "too busy" to build the systems that would actually free them.

They'll keep wondering why everyone else is scaling past them.

But the entrepreneurs who actually win?

They’re the ones comfortable being unnecessary.

They build businesses that don't need them to survive. That run better when they're not involved. That scale because they stopped being the ceiling.

I'm working with a few founders right now who are ready to make that shift.

Text me "COACH" @ 1-778-652-8414 and I’ll send over the details.
