EXORTANE

Business & Entrepreneurship Mentee

Hello,

I am in a place where I have committed to a life style change, and have begun to implement it. I’m big on personal research and being self-taught, school curriculum never really resonated with me. Recently I’ve researched health and fitness, and have determined that to begin my fitness journey that I need to fix my posture for a good foundation and prevention of injury during later stages of the fitness journey. I gathered information from different sources, I put together a routine, and have been implementing it every day. The remainder of my day goes into investing research, or more specifically where to invest my time and energy to begin my entrepreneur journey. Currently, I am discovering the possibilities and researching them.

I believe that people can reinvent themselves several times in a lifetime, if they so desired. I believe mine is overdue, but I was always a late bloomer. I have always felt a calling to something more, something greater. However, I made bad decisions growing up, and ended up in a place where I gave up on life (in a non-suicidal way), but I’m thankful for it because I found Jesus and learned that I will never go back to that place. I don’t want fame, but I do want my story to be inspirational to others. I seek experience, knowledge, and growth. I expect suffering and failure to come, for growth to occur through lessons learned. I am ready to take the risk.. to have to move some where foreign to me, to have to lose my car and everything, to hit rock bottom and claw my way back up. Consistency being the key, for when you get side tracked or off the trail you got to get back to it to succeed. To have a come-back story but to live for something bigger than myself, to give back.

I am someone who tries to remain humble, I’m big on loyalty and trust. I’m a straight forward person, sometimes too much that I should actually say less. I just don’t like lies, they’re a waste of time. I’m an understanding person who prefers people to tell it like it is. I need to learn to take criticism better, so at first I may not be happy with someones honesty but once I think it over I come to terms. I strive for efficiency and getting things done right. There will always be some tasks that we don’t want to do, but they must be done. Not just because it’s required for the project’s success, but for the personal growth through self-discipline. I get irritated by peoples low standards and lack of common sense, I have come to refer to as uncommon sense. But, I just remind myself.. it’s okay to be different, have different perspectives and desires, not everyone wants or needs high standards, if they’re happy then I’m happy for them.

I believe in multiple sources of income. I want to get into real estate at some point, but I don’t think it will be the entry of my journey. I don’t want to make a million and end it there, I want to live frugal (as I already do) and continue to invest to acquire assets. I think of my money as God’s money, to be wise with it and multiply it like the parable of the 3 brothers. The more I make will be the more I can help people.

This is genuinely me. I make mistakes like anyone and have flaws, I’m human. I have an old soul, as they say, and a desire for more in life.

As for a mentor, it’s not an absolute must. It would be great and helpful, as I have gone through my whole life without one, but I don’t believe it’s a requirement for success. If I had a mentor, I imagine it would be someone that a profound impact on my life. A life long friend, whom I considered to be family, who I would be eternally grateful for having in my life.

Wish everyone the best, take care.
