My failure arc: 2019: hated my job 2020: got a new job to “fix” my problem 2021: started a marketing business and made $50k+ in 3-4 months time 2022: funnel stopped working and I couldn’t sell anything. Shifted to coaching and helped a “friend” go from 0-90k followers on instagram. Ran a cohort together and were ready to build the business of our dreams. 2023: my “friend and business partner” ghosted me. He was making $10k+ per month from his audience and brand deals. 2024: lost. Confused. No income or job. Got into debt just to survive. Failed multiple businesses. 2025: working odd jobs to make a living. Try living across the country because it’s always been a dream of mine. 2026: land a very good job at a fortune 100 company working remote. Still haven’t given up on the dream. It just took a while to try again. 13 followers on my new account. Unsure about where it will lead. Hoping to finally build the business of my dreams online. I have what feels like “all the knowledge” I need, just something to click. I’ve built brands. I’ve built audiences. I have plenty of students with 20k, 30k 50k and 100k audiences using what I taught them. Just never clicked for me. I’ve made money from business. I’ve sold things for a living for the last 7 years. I know branding, marketing, and built many products of my own. Even built a mini course and sold it making $1200 with virtually no audience. I’ve “done it all”. To any young man out there who is trying to make it and it just feels impossible. We’re on the same journey. I have a lot of experience in things but I haven’t made it. But I know the struggle and how depressed you can get feeling like nothing goes your way no matter what happens. And even when something good happens it never quite pans out to actually change our lives and give us the freedom we so desperately want. The freedom to travel, to live from anywhere, to work on meaning projects, time freedom to work 1 hour a day, 2 hours or 12 hours. Whatever we want. Not feeling locked in a cage our entire lives. Slaving away at someone else’s command. Just to unlock the cage. To crawl out of it and start to spread our wings and see where the wind takes us. To not have a life so gosh dang predictable. Wake up when we are told. Work when we are told. Do whatever we are told. Go to bed when we are told because we have to function for the next day of being told what to do. How is that a life. Makes no freaking sense. Let’s crawl out of this pit together. Let’s go do something freaking awesome. Send me a message if you want to connect. Let’s work on something meaningful together until we build the freedom we want. And not stop a second sooner. Cheers to the future friends. Let’s get it.

@iamjustincscott This is so beautiful. I felt lost for years and feel that I’m finally finding my way back into what I always wanted. But that period of “lost” was vital to my journey in finding my way. Brother we should catch up on a call sometime I miss connecting

There will be times in life where you feel like you’ve fallen from your path but that is also your path. Just because you’ve lost sight of your way does not mean you’ve been led astray. God does not make mistakes.

@jackmoses777 You have to dig deeply within yourself. Learn yourself before you can expand your presence outwards. Know yourself.

In the new earth economy, you will get paid in proportion to your level of presence.

@Nithya_Shrii There is a beauty in letting go. I helped my friend go from 0-90k followers on Instagram and changed his life forever. He ghosted me out of nowhere. Haven’t spoke in years. Took me a while, but letting go truly is a beautiful thing.

I find it so interesting that the people I’ve done the most for, I’m no longer in contact with.

@DearS_o_n If you make a lot of money but act broke, you’ll soon have more money than you need.

Immediately you make money, rule number one act broke.

@ysuckme Deep thinkers never shut off. They can’t sleep. My brother is a deep thinker and I’ve seen this my whole life. Heal your mind by lying in the grass for hours with no phone. Long walks with no distractions.

@DearS_o_n I like to make people around me laugh and usually at my own expense. However upon learning that our brain can’t tell the difference from a joke and reality, I began to limit negativity

Get addicted to thinking positively about your life.

@ysuckme Wake up 15 mins earlier, prayer and gratitude, drink coffee outside barefoot. Peace will flow into your life

@Miradji1000 @Dearme2_ Yes it’s easy to get toxic and it not be a productive conversation. Thank you as well

@cookedbrowisdom @Dearme2_ Yes it's too harder when one side took argument or advice as an attack or insult to them. Then one side should stop or walk away. Thank you

You're a man. Never argue with your father. Shut up or walk away.

@DearS_o_n Goodnight father. Thank you

Don't act like you didn't see this tweet. I said: "God will provide for all your needs."

@Nithya_Shrii Girls don’t struggle with that addiction it comes naturally

Why are only unhealthy things addictive? Why can't I have a huge banana addiction.

@TheTweetOfGod I agree it’s rare to find genuine Christians who live it nowadays. But I’ve met some real Christian’s. Completely genuine good people. But the purpose isn’t to be perfect. Jesus didn’t come to make people perfect, he came to save.

The definition of a Christian is simple: a person who follows the actual teachings of Jesus Christ. So no one, basically.

@ManOfFocus_ Lying in the grass alone has saved my life.

That low-key boring lifestyle has saved you from unnecessary chaos and stress. Stay on it.

@DearS_o_n @Dearme2_ Too easy to shove all the pain down and pretend it doesn’t exist. Young man, it’s okay to feel the pain.

To all men fixing their life even through pain, loneliness or disrespect, lock in. You're winning.

@ysuckme Started the mission 7 years ago when I got into real estate at 18. Massive wins and failures and no where near where I thought I would be. But still going no matter the cost.

@rajshamani We don’t know their name until they made it. Countless successful people that slaved away at their meaningful project before the world ever saw anything from it. But they saw everything. Every little win and failure. They never quit no matter what. It was win or win.

The same effort looks like genius when it works and stupidity when it doesn't. People aren't judging your work; they're judging your outcome and deciding whether the work was worth it. Effort stays invisible until the score comes in.

@ManOfFocus_ The concept of “disappearing” is challenging to grasp when you consider growing a following on social media. It’s essentially the complete opposite of disappearing

A pattern I've noticed in successful men: they disappear from the world for months at a time to force pure focus on themselves and their vision. They laser in on one meaningful goal and make it a reality.

@JamesAnderson88 No way man my brother is gonna tweak when I show him. He has followed @rnewton7777 for years and is more involved in subreddits than I am. For futures trading I’ve only done it through prop firms like Topstep. So my only investment was in funded accounts

@cookedbrowisdom Ya, I watched the GME story movie “Dumb Money” and also met the “WallStreetBets” subreddit creator Jamie Rogozinski at a conference in Vegas. Futures trading is super risky, although I do use options trading, particularly LEAPS and selling puts, to gain some leverage and income.

@Miradji1000 @Dearme2_ It’s hard to do

@cookedbrowisdom @Dearme2_ Argument with respect

@DearS_o_n @Dearme2_ Any genuine tips for getting up earlier? That’s my biggest weakness right now. I wake up at 7 but I should be getting up earlier.

Get addicted to getting up early, praying, hitting the gym, eating healthy, and focusing on your goals.

@shen_stardust Yes 100%! Thank you for being here

@cookedbrowisdom Yeah, when it’s authentic, crafted with care, and fueled by passion, people can feel it. That’s true of writing, music, and art alike. 👍

If you pour your heart and soul into your writing, that energy will be felt by the souls it was meant to reach.
