Hey man
I’m talking about something that might surprise you.
It’s something I don’t talk about much … but in future, that’s going to change.
Because this thing is the missing piece of the puzzle that changed my life completely.
And I’ve done you a disservice to hide it from you.
Until today.
But first, let me be real with you.
I used to feel trapped….
Stuck living under the roof of my narcissistic dad like a child because I didn’t have the money to live alone (I hated myself for this).
Stuck with a boss telling me how to dress, where to be, what to do and how to behave.
A boss who publicly humiliated me countless times in front of people … and I had to just stand there and take it because I needed the job.
Countless nights ended when I collapsed into bed at 3am after stuffing my face with fried chicken and playing Destiny 2 because my life sucked.
The only pleasure I got was from porn, games, weed and food.
My life was run by trauma, fear and self-sabotage.
My life wasn’t mine.
It was a miserable existence.
And I couldn’t stand to be around people because I felt so pathetic.
People asked about my life and I almost had anxiety attacks because I didn’t want them to know the truth.
I desperately wanted freedom.
To feel fully independent, make good money and travel to cool places.
I knew that LIFE was OUT THERE somewhere …
But I felt fucking hopeless.
It felt impossible to me.
It’s emotionally hard for me to think about that time…
But fast forward to today…
I’m currently sitting in a penthouse atop a skyscraper in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
I earn more than my dad (in fact I had to financially support him for a while).
I don’t have a boss (when I quit that job it was great but that’s another story).
I wake up when I want to and do the work I love.
I built my dream business and travel like a madman (I’m off to Vietnam next actually).
I broke free.
I gained my full independence and created the life I once dreamed about.
And mate … I want the same for you.
- Therapy can help.
- Lifting can help.
- Habit tracking can help.
But none of these things were as impactful as the thing I’m about to tell you.
This is the number one thing that allowed me to break free from my mental/situational prison and create my dream lifestyle.
It was creating a personal brand by writing about my interests, passions and experiences.
Back when I started my channel in 2016, I could have never predicted that it would have been the catalyst that would set me free.
It almost brings a tear to my eye to think about it.
If you’re procrastinating on starting your own thing…get over it and start it TODAY.
The journey of building your personal brand is your life’s work.
It will be the biggest catalyst for your personal and professional growth you will ever find (aside from having kids or a deep relationship).
And it’s free and easy to start.
Twitter. Facebook. YouTube. Medium.
It doesn’t matter.
Just draw a line in the sand.
Stop being a consumer. Start being a creator.
Do it today … and reply to this email with the link to your page.
I want to see your creation.
Your future self will thank you for it.
Peace,
Oliver
