And yes, maybe there are disadvantages from not coming from money, where when I first started my first entrepreneurial venture, my parents couldn't back it up.

I had to work all summer at a restaurant to try to get tips to launch my first online venture, which was like an online magazine at the time.

And it gives you a certain level of motivation

I kind of reached this rock bottom at a certain stage in my journey about 11 years ago.

And in this rock bottom, every pillar of my life was lacking.

And I write about this in my book, Activate Your Future Self.

You have five pillars to your life.

Mental, physical, financial, social, and spiritual.

And every single one of those areas was lacking.

I didn't feel good in my body, my health.

I was 30 pounds heavier.

I didn't feel good.

I was going out every weekend.

I was partying a lot.

I was living paycheck to paycheck, feeling a lot of anxiety towards life.

my finances still at this stage in my life and i wasn't connected to myself i felt very low confidence and security so i reached a point where i decided i needed to change and that came with diving into self-development self-help and personal development and i started reading a bunch of books about it started listening to all these experts and

started doing the things.

And one of those things that everyone told me to do that I couldn't quite stick with was meditation.

Everyone said, okay, to be successful, you need to meditate every day.

And I tried and I put it on my to-do list.
