Five years ago, I was a sad human being.

I was an alcoholic working at T-Mobile with zero prospects and nothing promising going on in my life.

My days consisted of training (which I would schedule around my drinking), making $10/hr selling phones and Drinking the nights (and a lot of days) away. I was 27 years old, and I was a fucking loser.

Me with my girlfriend of 4+ years.

And at the end of the day, I can’t make anyone do the work. If you want to improve your life, you’ll follow the advice and recommendations I lay out in this post.
