From Small Town to Puerto Rico: A Story of Self-Improvement and Unexpected Opportunities
This time last year me and my family were being flown out to PUERTO RICO for the week
I was asked to speak at an event with Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary vee)
Mad eh?
I mean, I'm just some dipstick from a small, poor town in the North East who's had some trouble with bipolar, depression and anxiety (and a big mouth ha)
And this guy Gary Vee is a multi, multi millionaire who's travelling the world speaking and has 10 million followers on Instagram
Jeeeezzz
I'm not telling you this to brag though (not really)
I wanted to show you what's possible
When you just keep showing up
Working on yourself
Taking your commitments seriously
Constantly working on self improvement
Because the mad part? I didn't ask for this gig in Puerto Rico
(man, I thought it was in Tenerife)
I never went looking for it or sent my CV
A guy just messaged me completely out of the blue
Offering to fly us all out there
The lesson?
Well, not just to keep doing your thing
Taking action and improving yourself
But this... I suppose it's WHY you gotta keep being a man/woman of your word
YOU NEVER KNOW WHO'S WATCHING
Whether that's your partner
Your colleagues
Your clients
Your boss
Or YOUR KIDS
Someone is always watching
So step the hell up
Or not.
Because people need INSPIRATION more than ever right now
Especially young people
And maybe YOU are just the person to fu*king do it
