Hard truth for men in their 20s:

Wake up before 5am.
Lift weights. Train a combat sport.

Don’t play video games.
Don’t smoke weed.
Don’t gamble.
Don’t drink alcohol.
Don’t watch porn.

Stop chasing cheap dopamine.

Your 20s aren’t for comfort. They’re for building.

Learn sales.
Learn business.
Learn how money actually works.

Work weekends while everyone else is partying.
Cut off friends who have no ambition.

Build your body.
Build your bank account.

Strengthen your spirit.
Know God. Let that be your North Star.

You don’t find your purpose.
You earn it through discipline, skill, and becoming valuable.

Do this for 5–10 years and your life will look completely different from everyone around you.

Most people won’t. That’s why it works.

Parents of young athletes,

If you plan on having your child compete at a high level, you may need to downgrade your lifestyle.

Downsize the house. Drive a more practical car. Lower the monthly payments.
Unsubscribe from unnecessary entertainment apps and channels.
Stop purchasing liabilities. Cut back on impulse shopping.

To be direct, stop living beyond your means.

Youth and high school sports are billion dollar industries. If you truly want to give your child a chance to compete with the best, take an honest audit of your habits and finances. Live simply. Reallocate your resources with purpose.

Even if they never “make it,” the discipline, habits, and mindset built while chasing something big will carry over into every area of their life.

But if you don’t address your habits and finances now, you’ll eventually fall back on excuses like, “It’s too expensive,” when the truth is, your lifestyle is.

Whether you’re a single parent or raising your kids together, one day they will figure you out.
Make sure when they look back, they say, “My parents did whatever it took to help me get better, and I’m forever grateful for their sacrifices.”

This isn’t about money. This is about priorities.

You don’t lack talent.
You lack the ability to work through pain, move fast, put in long hours, and stay consistent. That’s why you don’t have the life you want yet.

High school football players:
I lost my last high school football game in the 2006 Arizona State Championship.
It was heartbreaking, but your life isn’t defined by one game, one season, or even your high school career.
Don’t let a single moment in your life’s timeline define the rest of your life.

If you DM or text me with ‘What’s up’, ‘Yo’, or ‘Hey’, don’t expect a reply. Respect people’s time. Get to the point. Anyone else feel this way?
