I don’t know how many of you know my background, but most of the financial stability I have today came from one thing: I built an online education company, and eventually I sold it. That’s where my money was made. And yes—I consider myself fairly successful because of that journey.
But let me be very clear:
It wasn’t always that way. Not even close.
There were years when I was coaching lacrosse and making almost nothing. Years when I wasn’t sure how I was going to pay my bills, keep up with life, or dig myself out of the financial hole I had created. You’d think that kind of pressure would push me toward business, toward income, toward stability.
