    Our guest today lives his life by two rules.And these are two rules that by and large most people will try to keep away from, and then they wonder why they haven’t got their dream life.He believes thatYou can’t be afraid to take a risk.You absolutely MUST have a plan.And then if you know anything about him, he adds to the mix a huge belief in himself, a flexing hustle muscle that he demonstrates everyday, and an easy going nature that helps him reach out to the movers and shakers across the globe.As a young man, he didn't have the desire to be the solopreneur or entrepreneur that he is today. Instead he had a burning passion to become a professional paintballer, and upon getting his first gun from his parents set out to achieve his aim.
