Hey Everyone!
I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile, I’ve been busy flying, and learning, and trying to create the best possible content to GIVE away to you guys… I’m going insane with it all to be honest, but it’s starting to calm down a little these days…
I realized though, that I wanted you to know more about me, as a person, not as a business owner.
I’ll probably post a few of these “about me” kind of blogs occasionally just so you know where I came from… I can’t put it all into one post cause that would be crazy long, but over time, you see, you’ll get to know who I am…
First of all, for anyone who hasn’t heard or read just yet, I am 28 years old as of this writing, and I currently have a career in the United States Army as a CH-47 (Chinook) helicopter pilot. I didn’t always fly helicopters, but in 2003 I realized I wanted something more than what I had… I pushed paper, and dispatched vehicles… a low key job, low responsibility, and worst of all, it had NO potential for growth. In order to grow out of my job, I had to CHANGE my job. So I did…
I’ve always had an interest in Aviation growing up, so I looked into aviation as an alternate career path for the US Army. Turns out I had bad eyes, and didn’t meet the pre-requisites to make it as a Army Aviator.
I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like to take ‘no’ for an answer, so I looked into Laser Eye Surgery, took extra testing, and training, picked up my private pilots license, and finished my degree. It took time, but I made it.
Also in that time period, I also began to live the success principles that I now teach. In fact, I wanted to teach them before, but I knew that I needed to prove the techniques worked, not only to myself, but to others as well. How could I ever teach others to be successful in life, if I had nothing real to offer? A very good question.
Since that day, I’ve accomplished more things in my life than I EVER thought I would accomplish by the age of 28, I now fly the most awesome aircraft in the Army inventory, (well, to me, anyway), and I went through over 5 years of training to get there.
Remember when your parents said to you: “you can do anything you want, you just have to put your mind to it”? Yeah, well, turns out that’s a true statement…. who knew, right??!
That’s it for today, but next time I write about myself, I’ll go a little more in depth into where I’ve been, and what I want to do in the future….
To your success,
