I’ll never forget when I walked across the graduation stage.
$334,000 I just spent on getting my doctorate…
And, all I felt was regret.
It never occurred to me that I was going to have to do a job for 40-60 hours a week.
I was in so much student debt that I had no other option.
But then something interesting happened…
I made a decision that made all of that debt disappear.
7 years later, I would be traveling Europe full-time while my dream house was being built in Sedona, Arizona.
Like most people, I got caught up in making money. While I had the knowledge to transition into an ownership role… I didn’t. I just kept grinding.
How did this happen? I never wanted to work in my business. I wanted to own one, or two, or three.
After a few years, I was empty inside. The joy of entrepreneurship was overshadowed by ungrateful referral partners and needy clients.
But, then I made a decision…
That decision was to get back to what young 18-year-old Roland wanted for his life.
- A fulfilling career where work didn’t feel like work.
- Being someone who was sought out for his expertise… rather than convincing people to work with me…
- Living a life full of peace, calm, and confidence… rather than stress.
I decided to stop feeling behind and start taking control.
“Mindset” is talked about like it’s something you can achieve by reading a few books and hiring a few coaches.
Mindset dictates your life, your success, and your decisions.
Rather than looking for the next shiny marketing thing…
Take the next 3 months to figure out how to think in a way that will allow you to achieve your full potential.
