I was the guy who expected business, didn't want to put the work in to go find his own. I was the guy who constantly made excuses for why I wasn't winning. I was the guy who just refused to put in the work that it took to be successful because I was sold that this is an industry you can get into, and if you stay in it for the first, at least five years, you're going to be really financially successful. And I was not. After five years, I looked back and I said with this isn't what I was sold. I was told I was going to be making a lot of money by now, and I'm not. And I blamed everything and everyone but me. And that's why I'm talking to you right now.
