Jason J. Ryse Fonseca spent his last $10 helping a Toronto café at a fundraiser, met Evan Carmichael there, and says that chance encounter sparked collaborations that grew his business. His advice: stop grinding so hard and let good things happen.
I'm Jason J. Ryse Fonseca of RyseOnline.com. I offer Empire Design for ambitious creatives, and today's One Minute Monday is "Let Good Things Happen." So a lot of you might be struggling. You might wake up and be thinking, "I'm a good person. I have lots to offer. I'm running a business, and it's way too hard. I deserve more." I deserve more clients, I deserve more leads, I deserve more dollars, and it's just not happening. And I've been there. It's painful. It feels like you're dying inside. What if there was an easier way? What if you could relax, take it easy, do something fun, and let good things happen? I was posting on Evan Carmichael's forums and I found out he was hosting a fundraiser for Little Nicky's, a café in Toronto that had a bus driven through it. They could use a hand. Even at the time, I was practically desperate. I was on— I had my last $10, literally, and I took it and I went to support Little Nicky's. And when I was at Nicky's, I met Evan and a bunch of entrepreneurs and I shook his hand and everything changed that day. And from that point on, we worked out collaborations. I started rising and I want that for you too. You deserve it. You deserve more and there are easier ways to get it. And no one will tell you this. It's not common knowledge, but letting it go and focusing on something better Helps. Together we rise. Believe.
