Day 1 to $1M Year by 12/25/2027

What is up, YouTube? It is September 28th, Monday, 2026, and, um, it's been a crazy day today. Um, I believe this is like day 1 officially of me documenting my journey to, uh, taking home my first million, um, by the age of 23. And, um, man, crazy day. Uh, I'm making these videos, number one, as a digital journal to myself, and number two, to inspire other people. Chasing something big that they don't know exactly how to accomplish, but simply just documenting the journey so that you can feel or document how close you are to accomplishing that thing. And then number 3, to be able to look back and appreciate the moments where I was stressed, I was wishing I wasn't in the situation, and just to appreciate those moments because a lot of mentors, they tell me people want success so bad, but when you get successful, you look back when you weren't successful and say, oh, those were the good days. You know, when I was grinding, when I was working, when I was tired and stressed and all that. So, um, what I do typically in these videos is I go over my habits, um, of what I've done for the day. And, um, today wasn't the most habit-driven day. Um, in fact, it was very, very stressful. Um, literally it took me like 2 hours to film like one single— like not one single, about 2 Uh, Loom videos. Um, the first time I filmed it, it cracked. My, my little computer crashed, so I had to switch to this software called Supercut AI, um, to film the Loom video. And after that, it was pretty smooth sailing from there. But, um, since we're now putting out 4 times more content for my, uh, for the team that I manage, um, took me a long time. Took me like an hour Collectively to film 2 Loom videos. Well, 2 hours total time, but an hour of Loom time. So one was like 25 minutes, the other was like 35 minutes. So collectively, that's about an hour, give or take. So yeah, but just to go over the habits we have, let me go ahead and just pause this video and then share my screen, and then we'll go dive into it. All right, so I'm about to increase my brightness, but as you guys can see, we woke up around 6:30 today. Weighed in around 163. Did not journal, did not do the daily affirmation, did not read the Bible. Gotta definitely lock in and get back on that. Um, did not do an hour of bottleneck-based learning because I did wake up a little late. Um, so I didn't have that amount of time to be able to do it. And I also— took me a while to get in the flow state today. Like, even though I woke up at 6:33, um, I think I was just like doing a bunch of— I don't know what I was doing, bro, until like 7. Like I was just like waking up, going back to sleep, whatever. So I'm a little bit sloppy on mine, not gonna lie. And the deep work definitely didn't get that done either. So I need to do better. 1 hour of cardio. I did end my cardio a little prematurely. I'll take accountability of that. High leverage task. I would say I got done with some high leverage tasks. I just didn't track them in my SOD form or Google Tasks, but Definitely got done with some high leverage ones. Review videos on Google Drive. No videos today, so I'll just check that off. Monday, did that. EOD report, did that. Checked EOD reports. I do need to check my team though. So after this Loom video, I'll check my team. Posting this video on YouTube. I haven't posted it, but I'm creating it. So I'll uncheck it, but I'll post that after I do this. Workout slash basketball, did that. Didn't check my expenses or track my net worth. Tracking macros and training rides. I knew that I need to actually finish tracking my macros. Updating my habit tracker, did that. I'm doing that now. Talked to my mom. I actually just FaceTimed my mom while I was eating dinner. Reading 5 minutes of the Bible, gonna do that before I sleep. And then I also need to water floss, regular floss, and then brush my teeth. I did a little bit of regular flossing, but then I ate a little bit more. I need to water floss and brush my teeth on top of that. So I have all those individual habits because one of my commitments to myself was, you know, even though my goal next year is to take home $1 million, And I know that in terms of doing that just solely through the client I manage, I would have to get around $5 million in directly attributed revenue. I did— I made a commitment to myself to where even if I'm financially prospering, I won't let go of the other 4 Fs, which is my faith, my fitness, my family slash friends, and my fulfillment, right? Just being fulfilled in life, doing things I enjoy, which is why I have things, you know, fulfillment-wise, I have things like Flossing, brushing my teeth, like, because it fulfills me to, you know, know that I'm making progress in my hygiene, right? Like, that fulfills me knowing that, okay, like, you know, I'm maturing as a man. I'm, I'm doing what I need to do to, um, be more hygienic and, and, and, you know, just improve myself in that area because I know that, you know, I know that it's not my strongest area. I've made a lot of progress, so I want to continue progressing in that area of my life. You know, reading the Bible, faith, right? Like, that's something that I'm a lot more dialed in with because I realize, like, if I just keep the kingdom first and I use, you know, the money I'm making to be able to impact more people, like, I'll never go broke. Because at the end of the day, like, I'm not doing it for myself. I'm doing it to create change in the world. Workouts and basketball, cardio, biking, like, all that. Like, that's something that is important to me just because, like, You know, I believe in fitness. I believe that fitness is a reflection of your self-discipline. Simple. Like, if you want to look at someone's discipline, look at their body. Like, you know, and that'll show you what it is. Like, you know, and people can say what they want to about it, but like, you know, nobody told you to eat the foods you ate unless you grew up in that environment. But you have the choice to be able to break out of that environment. You get what I'm saying? So, um, you know, I feel like Um, for me, like, I've had to always remind myself that it doesn't matter what happens, like whether I'm financially down or up, whatever, like I can always go to the gym. It's $45 a month. I can always eat healthy. It's like $200 a month, right? I can always, you know, get my cardio in. Walking pad is free because I paid for it already. So it's like people take fitness and health for granted, but You know, I have a quote that I stick by, and it's that, you know, an unhealthy person— a healthy person wants many things, an unhealthy person wants one. So it just shows— goes to show how this wealth and family slash friends— like, one thing I've made the mistake with is like, you know, on my journey to, you know, becoming more like financially wealthy or rich or Prosperous or blessed, I would like to say, like, you know, becoming more blessed financially, I've neglected my family, I've neglected friends, I've neglected day ones that even if they're not day twos, if they're day ones that I want to eventually put on, like, I've neglected them just to, you know, chase the cash or revenue mark or whatever the case might be. And I realized, like, you know, what am I really doing life for? Like, am I not doing life to be able to put people that I care about in better positions? you know, whether they deserve it or not, like whether they, you know, whatever. It's like, I want to put my mom in a position where, bro, like she doesn't have to complain about staying at a hotel for 30 days, or she doesn't have to complain about, um, you know, having to move out and having to, you know, not live in the area she wants to live in. Like, I want to put my mom in that position where, bro, like she can, you know, like live somewhere and, and do ministry because that's what she's passionate about. Like, do that without having to worry about money or without having to worry about Damn, where's my next dollar gonna come from? Because she's gonna know that her son is gonna take care of everything, you feel me? So, um, yeah, like, I want to be able to take my dad to like basketball games and gift him things that he never even thought was possible. Because, you know, unfortunately in my community, like, you know, you people just think so small. They only think Fortune 500, Fortune 250 company. I'm gonna make half a million a year in income and have a BMW too. It's like, bro, You can make like, bro, like I got people in my phone that make half a million in a week, in a month. Like, bro, it's possible. Like, and they've been doing it consistently for a long time. People just, you know, what's the phrase? You only grow to what you're exposed to, right? So, um, I want to put my people enough in that position. And, um, you know, all these Fs are important to me, right? So, um, I'm making this journey, I'm making this, you YouTube video is the start or the continuation of a journey for me of just improving. After I record this video, like I said, I'm gonna knock out all the other habits I haven't knocked out and do some learning myself before I go to sleep. You know, do some learning of how I can genuinely make this possible because I know this is not an easy feat. They say like the highest mountains are the toughest to climb. It's a high mountain that I've Not climbed before, but if anybody can handle the high altitude is me. So that's pretty much it for this video. Genuinely just a way of producing a digital journal. I like to call it through these videos. Hopefully I can inspire somebody through them. It's very raw. It's very real. And hopefully I look back on these and think, damn, I was on the right track. So yeah, hopefully you like it and subscribe, like from you know for more content like this. And I'll see you in the next one. Keep shining.
