Greatest lesson I’ve learned in my lifetime – the easy way never pays off in the long run! No matter how small the task may be every step you take is one step closer to living out your dreams!

Here are 3 things I’d look at if I was going to open up a franchise: 1. Who’s the founder? 2. Does the business model make sense? 3. Does it fit in the world we live in? Let me know if you would add anything else in the comments below

Don’t ever quit on the journey, no matter how difficult it gets. You have to believe in yourself if you want to accomplish your goals. If you need advice, seek it from those who have done what you’re trying to do. Always look forward and up

I was working as a personal trainer at a local gym and knew two things- 1- being a personal trainer isn’t scalable. 2- I am unable to clone myself, so I will always be limited to my income. I need to make money when I am sleeping.

From $15,000 to eight figures was not easy… The pain that comes along with this journey is not for everyone. You must have a resilient mindset and never quit! No matter what! The easy way never and I mean never pays well.

Since I gave up all my clients to take the marketing job, now, I had to re-build my clientele again. One of my clients at the time came in late. She said “Josh, I wish you could just come to my house, but I don’t have any equipment”. That is when the light went on. I said wow!

His shower was an aquarium, with sharks and other unbelievable fish. August 1, 2007 was the day I asked him his thoughts. He laughed in my face and told me the business model was like “swiss cheese”, it had too many holes in it and you will never succeed.
