My father chose to smoke crack over raising me.

And as a kid, that left me f*cking lost.

I didn't have a father to help build my self-worth, so I looked for validation from my peers.

But being the fat, shy kid? I was made fun of.

And it didn’t take long before their voices became mine.

"I'm not good enough" was always on repeat in my mind.

• Even after I lost the weight.
• Even after I stopped being shy.
• Even after people said I had potential.

It didn’t matter.

Because deep down, I still believed the story I told myself.

• That I was broken.
• That I wasn’t made for success.
• That I’d never be “one of those people” who'd make it.

So when I started building my ghostwriting business...

That voice screamed louder than ever.

“No one cares what you say.”
“You’re an imposter.”
“You’ll fail.”

But one day, I got a message.

“Hey man… I’ve been following you for a while. You changed my life."

And for a moment…the voice went quiet.

Because for the first time, I realized it's not about me.

It's about who I can help, even when I didn’t feel “good enough” myself.

That was the turning point.

Not a viral post.
Not a $10K/month.

Just one person telling me I made a difference.

That's when I started rewriting the story in my head.

From “You’re not good enough” to "You're not alone."

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not ready, not smart enough, not “that type” of person to succeed…

I get it...but the truth is:

The people who win aren’t the most talented.

They’re the ones who feel doubt, but do it anyway.

Because that critic in your head?

It doesn’t go away.

Your "why" just gets louder.

P.S.

Mindset was the biggest struggle for me while building my business.

So I dedicated an entire section to it in my free ghostwriting course.
