At 16 yo I started working.

At 17 yo I bailed my mam out of financial debt.

At 19 yo my dad when bankrupt and I assisted financially while he got through it.

At 22 yo my wife & I welcomed our first son.
I went hooked up with a legend to improve try and see how I could improve myself. I learnt about mental fortitude & this is where I found some of my knowledge on meditation, healthy living, amongst many other things.

At 25 yo my son was diagnosed with autism.
We were told by the local authority that he should be put in a special school & that we had no other option.

At 26 yo my wife & I welcomed our second son.

I was a director of a £50mil construction business, studying a masters degree in my own time & raising a family.
I had no weekends for years. I worked at uni every weekend to complete my work, as it simply wasn’t possible at home.

Upon completion of uni, I left my role as director & started my own business (commercial specialist) in construction. I am now the best at what I do in my region
Business has thrived over the years that I’ve never had to chase work, it comes in through the years of graft.

At 31 my wife & finally married.

At 33 my wife & I welcomed our first daughter.
I come from an ex coal mining area in one of the poorest regions in the UK. I’ve supported my whole family all my life. It’s all I’ve known.

Some of my friends from my younger years are dead through drink & drugs, it’s an easy pitfall that’s hard to get out of, if you give up.
At 34 yo I’m in a position where my family are financially secure but I want to go further to set my children up for their future happiness.

My children are privately educated & have flourished since. (Just as well I don’t take to well to listening to local authorities, ay!)
Decided to spill abit of my personal life onto Twitter, as all I really let you guys see is my fun side, lifting weights & joking with friends.

If you’re going through shit in your life realise you aren’t special. You can only rely on you, so get after it.
Hope this insight shows you that the most important strength that you can have is definitely mental & that sometimes you’ve just got to be dogged & keep going.

Be the hardest worker in the room, people see through fakers eventually.

Happy weekend crypto fam x
