Discovering the True Path to Success
There was a time in my life when I thought the secret to success was finding the “perfect” opportunity. If I could just stumble across the fastest-growing side hustle or the one magic idea, I’d finally be on the path to freedom. I spent hours researching, chasing, and trying—but something was always missing.
It wasn’t until I hit my lowest point that I realized success wasn’t about the next big thing. It was about what was happening inside of me. My mindset—not the opportunities—was the real obstacle.
Mindset is a tricky thing. For someone like me, who has wrestled with childhood trauma, bad decisions, and the ups and downs of bipolar depression, maintaining a positive and productive mindset has been a lifelong battle. I’ve turned to spirituality, personal development, and mentors like Wayne Dyer and Tony Robbins to help me reset and refocus. And while I don’t have all the answers, what I’ve learned has transformed not just how I approach my side hustle but how I approach life.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or wondered why your side hustle hasn’t taken off, you’re not alone. Shifting your mindset is the key that unlocks the door to success, and I want to share what’s worked for me—and what could work for you.
Understanding the Side Hustle Mindset
- The Employee Mindset: Seeks security, avoids risks, and trades time for money.
- The Entrepreneur Mindset: Seeks opportunities, embraces calculated risks, and creates value.
Making this shift was exciting for me. I was never comfortable thinking a job would get me the quality of life I really wanted. My past mistakes made me feel like I was limited in what I could accomplish, but I kept asking myself, “How can I make more money and have a greater purpose that provides value?” Now, I think about this in reverse: “How can I provide value and purpose first, trusting that the money will follow?”
The Mindset Shifts That Changed Everything
- From Security-Seeking to Opportunity-Seeking: I spent years searching for the right opportunity—side hustles, MLMs, personal development programs, marketing training… I even went back to school. But real success always seemed just out of reach. A big shift came when I started looking for problems I could solve. When you focus on creating value for others, opportunities begin to reveal themselves.
- From Time-for-Money to Value Creation: My old way of thinking revolved around trading hours for income. Now, I think about building systems and solutions that generate value even when I’m not actively working. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard is this: “Learn how to do something once and get paid for it over and over again.”
- From Perfectionism to Progress: For much of my life, I was paralyzed by the fear of not getting things “right.” But I’ve learned that imperfect action beats inaction every time. Progress, not perfection, is the real goal. This website is one of those imperfect steps forward, and I’m proud of the progress I’m making—even if it’s messy. What do you think of it so far?

Principles That Keep Me Grounded
- Abundance Mindset: There’s enough success to go around. Competition isn’t a threat—it’s validation that the market is thriving.
- Growth-Oriented Thinking: Every mistake is a lesson. My biggest breakthroughs have often come from my biggest failures.
- Time Management Mindset: It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most. Productivity is about priorities, not busyness.

If you’re still searching for that “perfect” side hustle, pause for a moment. The opportunity isn’t the problem—your mindset might be. Start with small shifts: ask yourself how you can add value, focus on progress over perfection, and surround yourself with people who lift you up.
