27) The Flamethrower

Find Your Fire and Never Let It Burn Out 🔥

You know when you light a match? It’s quick—flame's on for about 30 seconds and then it’s gone. Now imagine being a flamethrower. I’m talking about digging deep, turning the heat up, and letting that flame burn. You can’t just light up and be done with it; you need to keep the fire going.

When I saw my mom's W2 on the table, I knew we weren’t going to live like that anymore. I made the decision that we were going to level up. That moment lit my fire, and I haven't looked back since. I get up every day with a mission to make generational change, and that drive? It comes from a place of deep pain, because I’ve realized that pain is what teaches you why you need to change.

If you want real change, stop playing around. This process isn’t about waiting for anyone else to light your fire—it’s on you. The sooner you realize that you possess the power to make that change, the sooner the flame stays lit. When you’re motivated, you don’t stop. You don't burn out like a match. You stay lit like a flamethrower.
