A New Chapter: Chasing My Dreams Full-Time - 2025 - Week 23 Update
|
This week, I’m buzzing with energy because I’m stepping into a brand-new chapter of my life—one I’ve been dreaming about for years. I’m going all-in on my entrepreneurial journey, leaving the sidelines to focus full-time on building my blog and partnering with five strategic companies to create killer content and marketing. This is it—the moment I stop just planning and start living my dreams. There’s something electric about saying yes to what sets your soul on fire. For me, that’s entrepreneurship—specifically, growing my blog into a hub of ideas, stories, and value that inspires you all. But it’s not just about the blog. I’m also teaming up with five awesome companies to craft content and marketing strategies that amplify their impact. These partnerships are my chance to flex my creative muscles, build something meaningful, and make a real difference, all while carving out the life I’ve always wanted. Going full-time isn’t just a schedule change—it’s a mindset shift. It’s about prioritizing what matters most and betting on myself. Sure, it’s a leap. There are risks, late nights, and moments of doubt. But every time I think about pouring my heart into this blog or collaborating with these companies, I’m reminded why I’m doing it: to create, to connect, and to build a legacy that’s mine. I’m sharing this because I know you’ve got dreams, too. Maybe it’s a side hustle you want to take full-time, a passion project itching for more space, or a bold move you’re hesitating on. My hope is that my leap inspires you to take a step toward yours, even if it’s small. Dreams don’t become reality by waiting—they grow when you act. Here’s my challenge for you this week: think about one dream you’re itching to chase. Write down one action you could take to move closer to it—maybe it’s researching, reaching out, or just saying it out loud. If you’re feeling bold, reply and share your dream or that step you’re taking—I’d love to cheer you on! This is my new life, and I’m all in. Here’s to building the blog, crushing it with these companies, and making our dreams come true, one step at a time. With big excitement, Justin PS - I have a weekly update that I will include on my dreams below, this is something I have been doing personally for more than 2 years now, and it is my guiding light for how I make decisions and decide what I want to be doing and chasing.

This week, I’ve been thinking about a concept that’s a game-changer for anyone looking to grow a business or make an impact: the value ladder. It’s not just a buzzword—it’s a roadmap that shows you exactly where you’re taking your clients and how to get them there, step by step. When you know the path, you can guide people with purpose, building trust and delivering value at every turn. Let’s break it down using my blog as an example. A value ladder is like a staircase—each step offers more...
As we head into Memorial Day, I’m taking a moment to pause and reflect on the incredible sacrifices made by the men and women who’ve served to protect our country. Today isn’t just about barbecues or a long weekend—it’s about remembering those who gave everything so we can live freely, safely, and with hope. The courage of our service members is humbling. They leave behind families, comfort, and certainty to stand on the front lines, facing challenges most of us can’t imagine. Some return...
This week, I had one of those moments that stops you in your tracks and fills your heart to the brim. I went to my daughter’s dance recital, and let me tell you, it was pure magic. Watching her and all those kids up on stage—twirling, leaping, beaming with pride—was more than just a performance. It was a front-row seat to the future, learning, growing, and shining right in front of us. There’s something so powerful about spending time with the next generation. Whether it’s your own kids,...
