I had my first child at 18 and my second before 21… I was a single mom and man… life was hard. There were days when I would stare up at the sky and just wonder to myself… how the hell was this going to work out. I had little help and felt that broke should have been my middle name. There was no money for anything. No money meant no options. No options left me unbelievably frustrated. I felt trapped at the beginning and end of every day. Too many nights I was forced to put my little ones to bed hungry. That was the hardest.

I was unsure about many things in those days… except what I wanted for my family. I absolutely loved my kids. I was crazy about them… and became fixated on a better life us. I didn’t know the “how”… in my mind the how was irrelevant to my “why” and then my “what”.

No one thought I would make it. I was as statistic. Every odd that could be against me was. But yet, I started to see things differently. I refused to accept my life for what it was. Instead became clear on what my life could be. I didn’t allow myself to think small… everyone around me thought small. I didn’t want to be a small thinker. Small thinkers say things like “ that’s impossible” “you’ll never make it” and “I don’t think that’ll work”. If I had listened to those people, I would have never started the journey of entrepreneurship. That journey had a clear destination in mind, entrepreneurship gave me the ability to acquire wealth with no money, resources or skill. The only thing that mattered was my “will”. Willingness to do-what-ever-it-takes.

Unlike other traditional ways of acquiring wealth… this route was possible with everything I already had, me. I didn’t need a broker, lawyer, credit, cash… I didn’t need anything. I just needed me. I was enough. I wanted nothing small. The only outcome I was after was big… very big… I allowed myself to dream big. It was something that I was committed to… non-negotiable. I am so glad that I did. I have been able to design a life that I absolutely love.

There is no sense in dreaming small… not in my experience. Small dreaming gets you nowhere. Entrepreneur, it is those that dream big that touch the stars…

Where ever you are… whatever you’re doing… don’t just dream. Dream Big.
