The two Justin’s in these pictures are very different people.
The pic on the left is me from 2009.
I had some success as an entrepreneur, and I thought I knew everything.
I never asked for help…
I thought I was better than everyone else…
If someone had a different opinion, I was quick to put them in their place.
My whole outlook as an entrepreneur was about proving others wrong.
It was fueled entirely by anger and ego.
I was projecting confidence on the outside but inside I secretly felt like a fraud.
The pic on the right is me now.
11 years older and a lot more wisdom.
I’ve learned that it’s ok to ask for help.
I’ve learned that things don’t have to be perfect to work.
Ive learned that I’m flawed in many ways, and that’s ok.
I understand that even though I’m a lot smarter than I was 11 years ago, I don’t know everything.
My business is no longer fueled by proving others wrong.
It comes from a much cleaner place.
It’s about me creating the life that I want, and having an impact on the people I coach.
If I could go back and be 27 year old Justin again, I wouldn’t do it (even though he did have great hair).
I’m much more comfortable with who I am now.
I don’t worry as much about what other people think.
Ive realized life is much more enjoyable when you’re able live it on your own terms.
It’s not about beating others.
Or proving people wrong.
It’s really about getting what you want.
Just goes to show ya how much you can change over the years.
