I was partly in a foster care while I was running my first business.

And it was something that I was basically put into a corner.

I've dropped out of high school.

I had very little friends and I was basically the only thing I could do was actually try and build a business and I could try and be successful because frankly, I didn't know what the alternative was.

And with that in mind, it was something where I didn't have a whole lot of purpose.

And it was something that it allowed me to just pause here and see where my notes are.

So one of the things that I saw after...

I wrote a book to help others, obviously called From Foster Care to Millionaire.

And that details my story because I saw that somewhere I wanted to inspire others because I went through so many obstacles in life that I knew somewhere it would be able to help and inspire others.

Because most of my life, I thought I was worthless.

I thought I was stupid.

I would never achieve anything.

And it was only by achieving small little things here and there and having some success with the business that really expanded my potential and really what I thought was possible for myself.

And so one of the quotes that I like is that your potential can far exceed your expectations.

So at some point I was able to travel and got a pilot's license and I started to take photography.

I looked at scuba diving and all the certifications you could get with that.

And

I mention this because often we build our business and we are the key man in that business.

And we build the business around ourselves.

And we often forget why we started the business in the first place.
