A side of me you didn't know...

From an early age, we’re taught to follow instructions, obey the rules, and stick to the script. We’re programmed, it seems, to settle to go to school, land a job, work for someone else, and never dream too big because "it’s not realistic."

Over time, this conditioning gets under our skin, leaving us merely existing rather than truly living, stuck in routines that don’t spark joy, all just to make ends meet ??.

I was caught in that very trap. Deep down, I never stopped dreaming though ??, but I became a cog in the machine, grinding away at work, always showing up early, staying late, giving it my all only to be told I wasn’t adding enough value ??.

At 21, those words hit hard. They hit harder because I was still trying to figure out who I was, still growing, still finding my way. And to make matters worse, this happened just weeks before my birthday a time meant for celebration, not self-doubt ??.

Amidst all this uncertainty, a lifeline appeared: a ticket to a three-day personal growth and business convention ??. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but I went anyway, not realizing how much it would change my life ??. I had never delved into personal development before, but by the end of that weekend, it was clear how crucial it is.

The experience was intense like a rollercoaster for the soul ??. For the first time, I confronted my emotions, reflecting on who I was and what I wanted. It was out of character for me to be so vulnerable, but it was exactly what I needed ??.

During one of my lowest moments at the event, when I felt like I was on the verge of breaking down ??, a guy who had noticed my struggle came over and lifted me up ??. I didn’t know it then, but that encounter was the spark that would ignite a new chapter in my life ??. Out of 1,500 people, the fact that we crossed paths again, having only spoken briefly before, felt like fate ?.

That moment turned out to be the best birthday gift I could have ever imagined ??. Even though my actual birthday was spent stuck on a train ?? due to a string of accidents, I didn’t mind one bit. I was so filled with a sense of purpose and fulfillment that nothing else mattered ??.

Fast forward a bit, and I started a side hustle ??, buzzing with excitement from that life-changing event. But as time passed, the initial spark began to fade ??. It started off great, but deep down, something was missing something I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

Then I enrolled in an academy as a continuation of the previous event ??. I reconnected with the same guy who had helped me earlier. At first, I couldn’t even remember his name ??, but I knew I wanted to thank him ??. As we got to know each other better, we discovered we shared a lot of the same values ??.

One day, after seeing a story I posted on Instagram about reading Robert Kiyosaki’s The Business of the 21st Century (seriously, a must-read for anyone curious about business) ??, he reached out to me. That conversation led to a collaboration, and I can confidently say it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made ??.

Working with him and the team has been nothing short of transformative ??. I’ve grown both professionally and personally, realizing along the way that there are genuine, authentic people who truly want to see you succeed ??. I even had the chance to travel to Rome and meet the entire team. I was nervous at first ??, but as soon as I arrived, they made me feel at home like I was already one of them.

But here’s the kicker it doesn’t stop there ??. What really keeps me up at night, in the best way possible, is the sheer excitement of helping others unlock their true potential ??. Guiding people toward their goals and dreams, encouraging them to dream big and never settle ??, while making a real impact on our planet on our beloved Mother Nature ?? has been the most rewarding part of this journey. This is only the beginning.....
