Built business when I was 21 out of nothing, hustled making $45 an hr personal training when I didn’t know a thing.
Then I built a gym with my bare hands from the ground up. Paid for it with money I made working odd jobs as a kid which I had many. Sometimes 3 at a time.

My mother passed away from cancer when I was 21, the same year as I was constructing the gym. I started it in Septemebet and after bending the rebar by hand for the foundation it started to snow and get very cold. It was the harshest winter I can remember.
The loopholes I had to go through to find the money for the gym and purchase the equipment were immense. All while trying to cope with my dying mother. I managed to scrape together 35k for the materials and with my fathers help we constructed it over 8 months time.
Another 25k in equipment. I had a burning hot desire to succeed so it never felt like work. I knew it would be successful one day.
Fast forward several years and my father died by suicide on Father’s Day.
He never left a note so I can only speculate why he did it.

I’m writing this tweet hoping to inspire someone out there who’s been shit on their whole life. Adversity makes you stronger- if you let it.
I don’t regret anything and I love the life I have now and the person I’ve become. All the hardships have made me appreciate what I have.

I truly believe everything you get in life comes down to your mindset.
Will you let anything perturb you and throw you off your path?
Bad things happen to everyone.
Setbacks happen to everyone.
Choose the mindset that whatever happens you will power through and succeed.

Absolutely anything you want in life you can have.
ANYTHING.
But you have to be willing to do anything to get it. Give up anything. Learn anything. Work day and night. If you want it bad enough you will find a way to get it.
Trick is to find something that’s worth it.
