Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Nick Mornard Landed in Miami With Nothing. Now He Runs a Global Business.

If you do the wrong thing, the wrong thing will come to you. I do believe it. If you do the right thing, the right thing will come to you eventually. Don't give up. Don't expect anything fast. But if you are consistent, because a lot of people have great ideas, they have the great start, but they're not consistent because they want instant success. Instant success, I don't believe it exists.

Wow, you have a couple of hours? Thank you, Ryan, first of all, to have me on your podcast. I really appreciate the offer. I'm looking forward to it. So yeah, that's a loaded question. So I moved to the US June 25th, 2013. So it's been 12 years. I couldn't speak a word of English when I moved. It was my childhood experience.

So it's a long process. It's not like I received a green card in the mail after two weeks. It's a long lengthy process. But I received the card on June 22nd and on 25th I was in the plane to Miami and I figured it out. I literally landed with six luggages and that was the hardest three years of my life.

But I was always thinking, thanks to my mindset, if I can make it in a country like Belgium where we are taxed 53%, I can probably make it in America, which is the land of opportunities. And the first three years, I could have given a million times, but I was confident that I was going to succeed. And I'm not where I want to be now, but I'm further than I thought I would be after 12 years.

But yeah, the journey was fantastic. I learned by speaking to numerous people, making tons of mistakes, and I keep making them. But if you dare, you will succeed. And I believe that in a lot of different areas, definitely in language as well.

Yeah, that's a great question. So the confidence I have, I think, is from a young age. I mean, my dad was an employee all his life. He always provided for me. It was never a problem. But he was not an entrepreneur. My mom was a stay at home mom. They had a very mindset of you go to school, you go to work and then you retire and you enjoy your retirement.

And that's something I never understood since I was super young. I'm like, why don't you build a business? I was always like that. I don't know where it came from because no one in my family were entrepreneurs. At 16 years old, I became a professional basketball player. And I think that's when it changed. I had my mindset set on playing ball for a living. And I achieved that at 16.

And after four years, every pro athlete, you know, scared of his injuries. And that's what happened to me. So I couldn't play professionally after that. And I'm like, oops, what am I going to do? I don't even have, you know, I don't have any degrees.
