• Sizing up your day.
  • Decide what I can tackle today to win, beat anxiety.
  • Pray over things.

So not only are you a family man, you hold a full time job, AND you side hustle an ecommerce business. How do you balance everything and would you recommend others attempt the same feat?

What decisions did you make that have paid off and you would recommend others to follow?

• Listen to podcasts

Where do you want to take the business? Where do you hope to be in 5 years?
