So many money making opportunities, so little time.
Let's go back to where it all started, shall we? My name is Gabriel. That's a picture of me while hiking in the Guadalupe Mountains. The picture of the house is an AI generated image. A guy can dream, right? πAnyhow, here's a bit of my story ...
When I first got the taste of an expanded entrepreneurial mindset I was in high school, about 16 or 17 years old. I'll get to that in a bit, but first you have to understand that I had dreams like any other teenager. I wanted to be successful and have a lot of sports cars and a fancy house with all the bells and whistles.
In my mind I was nothing special, but now that I look back I understand I was simply at the forefront of my amazing potential. At that time, I was clueless as to how I would achieve anything worth bragging about. It all seemed so confusing and daunting, to say the least.
I mean, "Life Instructions" were simple at that point:
1. Graduate from High School
2. Go to college and study like there was no tomorrow and get good grades
3. Graduate from college
4. Find a good job
5. Meet my soulmate
6. Get married
7. Have kids and raise a family
8. Work a 9 to 5 job for the next 40 or so years
9. Retire from said job
10. Live out my golden years as best and as happily as I possibly could until I died
The "Instructions" were pretty straightforward, but they didn't quite fit into MY plans. Yes, I wanted to graduate from high school, but steps 2 through 10 were a mix of emotions for me.
