Secured my SECOND open business line of credit (aside from my business credit card). Going to keep this going until I have at least 6 open lines of credit with vendors that report business credit and keep my accounts out to date, paid off and in good standing.

One day at a time. One piece of the puzzle at a time.

Owning a business means you get to do everything. Even the boring letters to companies requesting credit lines so you can build business credit and secure open lines of credit. Woohoo. So.. much.. fun.. 🙄 Anyone want to do this boring stuff for me and I’ll just do the fun stuff? No? Okay.

Since March of 2021, Marco and I have been on a credit repair journey, on top of everything else. I’m very happy to say that we’ve paid off over:

$33,041 in debt and have less than $3,893 left in debt to our name (aside from his student loans).

Our credit scores have jumped over 68 and 52 points and will continue to climb.

In 6 months. We did that in less than 6 months. I never give myself enough credit but today I’m giving myself a huge pat on the back. Now it’s time to get my business off the ground!

Moral of the story: Sometimes getting told no and that you’re not wanted is the best thing that can happen to you. No dream is too big. You can do anything you set your mind to if you really, really want it you just have to get off your ass and do it.

Write down your goal.
Write down how you’re going to get there.
Make it happen.

You can have anything you want in life as long as you’re willing to put in the work!

After 10 long weeks of very intense training, I can officially say I’m a volunteer with The Trevor Project. I can’t wait to get started.

When life gives you everything you need and more, make sure you’re giving back and helping others. Never forget someone once helped you get where you are today. Always be a good human.

So glad I came across this again today. It is what I needed. I’ve been focusing so much on the obstacles and how big they are.

Literally, to get my business off the ground it’s requiring thousands and thousands of dollars and endless amounts of time doing things that would bore the normal person to death like writing a 20 page proposal for approval for the Southern Nevada Health District including things like diagrams of the wiring and plumbing of my food truck.

That’s okay. I got this. One dollar in my account at a time. One page of this proposal at a time. One light socket installation at a time. If that’s what it takes. You only fail if you stop. And you can bet every penny you have in the bank I will not only NOT stop this time, but I will launch next year with no debt and then quickly scale to multiple locations.

You really can do anything you want to if you’re willing to put in the work, even when you don’t want to! PUT IN THE WORK! GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. NEVER STOP EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO CRAWL FOR A BIT!

The power of the human mind is something to marvel at; however, sometimes it can work against us. Taking control of your perspective can actually make you mu...

Life hack: Park at the end of the parking lot and walk, not because you’re “thankful to be able to walk,” (yes that too) but because it forces you to walk further and counts towards your daily walk goal.

Watch this! Best piece of advice I’ve ever heard for entrepreneurs. I already hit the wall. Guess what? The wall stuns the s**t out of you and makes you do one of two things:

1) Give up and resort back to comfort because it’s too hard (most people choose this)

2) Stand up. Shake off the stars you’re seeing and run head first into the wall again.

I chose #2. In the last few months, I’ve been told “no”, “you’re crazy”, “you’re doing too much”, “you’re working too hard”, “you’ll never be able to sustain”, “you’ll never be able to do this”, etc. You get the point.

I have two words for everyone who has doubted me up to the point: WATCH ME!

I have this relentless fire inside me I’ve never had before. I’m ready to be a success in MY eyes regardless of the price or pain. This is my time. I will achieve all those crazy things I’ve been saying. One crazy thing at a time. No one of nothing can stop me. I might fall flat on my ass a couple more times but that’s okay. I will. I can. I am. Watch me.

“No.” Get very comfortable hearing that word. You are going to be told no. So many times. Understand that when you are told no, it’s the universe telling you that for a reason. Most times for a reason you can’t yet see. Accept it. Move on. And realize that some no’s are what makes your wildest dreams come true. Keep grinding. Keep hustling. Karma has a way of opening doors for those who can look at themselves in the mirror each day and said I actually gave today all I could, day after day.

VEGAN taco pasta. Probably some of the best pasta I’ve ever made. Best part… it took about 10 minutes. 🌱🤤

So if this is even remotely correct I burn a ton of calorie everyday. This is just “RESTING” calories when my heartbeat isn’t elevated. 😳
