How I Went From Broke To Millionaire In Less Than Two Years. This Is My Story - PART THREE

so here we are part 3 I believe the final chapter to this story it's the most exciting because it's where everything happened it's where life completely shifted it's where I went from being broke and having absolutely nothing to being a millionaire and having absolutely everything but it's also the defining moment through all the struggles that I've been through in life through all of the hardships all of the loss all of the failures there was still one more challenge one final sacrifice if you will that tested me to my absolute core in August of 2013 I found out that I was going to be a daddy and I don't care how prepared you are for that when you find out that it's real I feel like your entire life more or less flashes in front of your eyes and as you guys have seen my entire life up to this point not exactly the coolest and so it forced me to grow up it forced me to realize that if my daughter was going to have a life that was different than what I had as a child I needed to get to work and I needed to get to work fast so I dove in I worked harder than I've ever worked in my entire life I reinvested all the money that I was making quickly into playing tickets I started traveling all over the country to help other people who were just as passionate as I was go out and live a life that they deserved and when you make a decision like that when you make a mental choice to go all-in on something you absolutely are committing everything that means 100% of what you're doing is applied towards your goal my goal was to be ready for my daughter camera now here's the downside to giving 100% obviously when you start working that hard not showing any real true time to your significant other it doesn't exactly go over well it leads to arguing it leads to fighting it leads to sleeping in opposite rooms I mean guys I'm not telling you things you haven't already experienced on your own but at least in my eyes there was a future there was a goal there was a mission it wasn't just over nonsense and honestly most fights come from money in the first place most stress comes from financial stress and I wasn't about that like I wasn't even trying to go there and I knew having a baby was going to be 10 times more stressful so 100% to me just like every single bit of working this hard but the downside is after 7 months of fighting with pregnancy and hormones and me being on a mission to be ready and I wasn't ready and I was stressed working hard fighting leads to destruction I also knew that I was hanging out with more passionate people I was hanging out with more successful people I was hanging out with people that were motivated they were ambitious they were driven to do something with their life and that became just a part of me it didn't matter what they were going towards it mattered that they had something to go towards and I feel like as a person I grew and I feel like I outgrew the relationship that I was in and I feel like I outgrew a lot of the friends that I was associating with and for the first time in my life I could actually see success it took me 13 days to earn an auto bonus you know I got myself a BMW I was excited I was making money I was traveling I was helping other people change their lives I got featured in successful magazine it was absolutely incredible but there's a funny thing about success I feel that finding success in the world is kind of like going through a year of school you know you you grow and you develop you learn a lot about friends you're going to gain some friends you're going to lose some friends along the way school is hard you know that requires work you have to get up you have to show up you have to put forward an effort and at the end of the day right when you think you're ready to graduate there's always one final test to me that one final test came in May of 2014 after my daughter was born I'm talking a month she was born her mother gave me an ultimatum Chris you're either going to do this business or you're going to stop and you're going to be a family and I knew right then and there already what I had chosen I made a decision from the very beginning that I would do whatever it took to build my daughter's future I would do whatever it took I would sacrifice anything I needed to to get to a life where I never missed one opportunity to watch my daughter grow and when she gave me that ultimatum knowing full well that she was going to keep my daughter from me out of out of sheer spite I turned around and I walked away you now there are going to be those who criticize my actions that frown upon my decision there are going to be parents who say how dare you how dare you walk away from family shame on you for abandoning your daughter and I'm going to turn around and say how does it feel when you drop your children off at daycare how does it feel when your children wait all day long to see you and play with you and I love you and you tell them hold on a little bit honey let mommy sit down relax like that and relax in the wine for how does it feel when the nanny or the babysitter is called mommy or daddy because you're never around don't judge people based on the sacrifices they're willing to make and I can tell you right now sacrificing time with your family is what it takes so that you never again have to sacrifice anytime with anyone including your family there is a moment in time where you have to believe in yourself and you have to support yourself when everyone else in the is not willing to support your stand by your side because it's scary and they're afraid of being judged guess what that's exactly what happened I was put down I was throwing to the side I was stereotyped I was made fun of rumors started flying all sorts of craziness that people do extinction sit here every single day with my daughter all day long we watch movies at 1 o'clock trying to figure out their life trying to figure out what it takes to be successful because they're not willing to make those hard difficult decisions they're not willing to sacrifice what needs to be done temporarily to get where they know they deserve to be alright guys so we're going onto the street that that I used to live on here I will always love that home because obviously that was the home where I found out that we were going to have my daughter and and ultimately my entire life changed you know if it wasn't for me finding out that I was going to have my daughter I probably still would be a lazy you know procrastinating just sitting around drinking some kind of magical lucky moment and be honest with you guys life and success sure as hell does not come from moments are timing or anything along those lines it's there's there's really no such thing success comes from realizing that you deserve it first and foremost and then having a purpose a real true reason why you feel you need to be successful and I'm going to be honest with you I didn't know that my success would lead to me becoming a millionaire I knew that I needed clothes of diapers and a crib to be ready for my daughter but she was born that was my motivator that was my only motivator was was just be prepared to be a parent or at least as prepared as I possibly could have been and you know I maybe I worked a little too hard I don't know you know it's up there debated in everybody's opinion obviously but you know what we've been able to build my daughter and I are on life it's just it's hard to put into words you know where we're at now versus where we wearing in the home that you just saw it and honestly that was literally I was a little over two years ago as all so much has changed drastically so much has changed I just you know I where it all started I wanted to show you company that I am today where it's taking me and I wanted to show you guys you know I have daddy's money they think that I have you know my parents gave it all to me or they think that I won the lottery or some stupid nonsense you know it's very easy to judge somebody with money but I wanted to show you where I live I want to show you where I came from I wanted to show you that it's possible for you guys doesn't matter what your current situation or circumstances are it all that comes down to is a choice if you don't like the current situation that you're in or the circumstances or the you know the lifestyle that you're in right now if you don't like your bank account or whatever that we're not what the choices are you thinking if you've never done stuff like obviously do the same things you're going to get the same result and so I guess my hope is for anybody that's listening or that cares to build their future you have to realize you're going to have to go into the unknown you're going to have to go into a world that is scary but know that it's possible you know focus on your dreams and definitely don't focus on the negative opinions of others is God if I did that I sure as hell wouldn't be in this car and the life that I have today would not even be remotely close to possible so don't limit yourselves guys you have to believe in what you want to do and go after it
