And you would be surprised what the universe is coming back to you, thanks to actually doing the right steps. It's not easy, but if you set yourself in, if you think about a certain way, saying like, hey, I know that I will have challenges. I know it's not going to be an overnight thing, but you have a plan. you're going to be fine.

And that's exactly, to get back to my story about moving to the US and having a hell of three first year, I was prepared. I knew it was not going to be easy, but I knew eventually it's going to happen. So when all the challenges and all those things come in between me and my goal, I smiled and I took a step back and said, look where I came from. Look at the steps I already did today.

I have a lot to do still in front of me. But look back at what you did. Celebrate the small wins, like I always said. And then move fast, move forward. And if you do that consistently, you will be successful. I have zero doubt with that. But you need to have that mindset and that readiness of what's coming. And that's my belief.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Yeah, definitely. It definitely happened a few times. And the thing is that the people back home, my dad, for example, that I know has the best intention, he told me a million times, come back, you have your life here. You have everything you need here. And I'm like, I will not. I will succeed here first. And no, there's no way I ever come back. But I had my mind so set on this.

But like you mentioned, there are things that people don't realize because they're born here. The credit score and the way to build a credit, we don't have that in Europe. So it was new to me. So it was like, it took me two weeks to get an apartment to sign for a lease because I had zero credit history. And that was like a first learning. Of course, learning the language.

I thought I was going to come here, we'll get into the sports business, you know. And I realized that I had offers for 2D1 school basketball to be an assistant coach. Those people do it for $30,000 a year and they have zero life. So people look at Calipari, Coach K and stuff. Those are the exceptions. The people in the bench, like the assistant coach, majority of them don't make money.

They just spend all their day and night at the school, at college. They have one month off a year and the rest is on campus or recruiting. And I love basketball, but that was not the life I wanted to be. And so I decided, OK, what is the first step I should be doing? So, of course, learning the language was one. The second step was like learning how, you know.

It worked with credit because that was a huge thing that I was not expecting. And then Hawk and I started making money because I came with $20,000. So $20,000 was done in six months just with rent, with leasing a car. I mean, that was just the way it is. And so I figured it out. Then I needed to find a mentor. And so I literally was...
