You can check every box and still feel like something’s missing. That’s where I was: dream job, good friends, busy days, and a quiet emptiness I couldn’t ignore. So I made one decision most people avoid making: I gave myself a real deadline to start a business, then I started putting in reps before I felt ready. 

A second moment sealed it. I went to a Grant Cardone conference and realized everyone around me had something to offer, and I was still hiding behind “figuring it out.” That sting turned into clarity: if I wanted to create real impact, I had to share a message and help people. I began with what I knew best, accounting, personal finance, and financial literacy, then watched it grow into coaching built around vision, mindset, and day to day perspective. 

We talk about crafting a North Star that includes mental health, physical health, relationships, spirituality, and service so you don’t grind your way into a life you never wanted. I also get specific about the unglamorous start: no sales system, early clients paying by Venmo, and a process that gets better only after you begin. If you’re waiting for perfect timing, this is your nudge to start small and build brick by brick. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s stuck, and leave a review with the one step you’re taking this week.

Start Small And Build Brick By Brick

The decision that changed my life and one that most people are afraid to make. This is Jordan with Five Minute Friday, where I'm gonna give you the insights, the things you need to be successful. And I want to get I want to be a little personal here. I want to share a story with you guys. I want to share with you how I got into coaching and what occurred there. In my life at that time, I had the dream job that I wanted. I had the friends, I was doing the stuff, and I still felt empty. I still felt like I was missing something. And the catalyst that truly changed things for me was that two things, twofold. One was that I set the goal at the beginning of the year, it was 2018 going into 2019, and I decided that I was going to start a business. I was going to do a business. I was going to do something. So that was the decision. By the end of the year, I needed to have something in place. And then the other big catalyst for me was one, making the decision and putting reps towards it. And then two, the second decision that really affected that was actually going to a conference. I went to Grant Cardone's Conference, Miami in 2019 in February. And at that point, I was just trying to figure out what I wanted to do. Everyone there was selling something and I had nothing to sell. And I started to realize pretty quickly that if I wanted to be have a business, if I wanted to provide value, if I wanted to do something, I had to start to share my message. I had to help people. I had to help them on their journey. And where I really found my expertise was in accounting. I had financial, I really enjoyed financial literacy and I enjoyed personal finance. So I'm like, I'll help people with finances. And what that became was much bigger than that, where it's we're helping them build craft a vision, a North Star, mental health, physical health, community service, philanthropy, spirituality, and relationships. But what it really is, it's really helping people have the proper perspective so that they understand the work that's required to create the life that they want so that they're not going down a lane that they don't want to go. And once I made these decisions, that I'm going to start offering this to people, I'm going to start helping people, I'm going to start seeing who I can get to work with me. And I did it without a sales system, without anything. I just started working and people would Venmo me in the beginning. And then you start taking payments, then you get cards on file. And it's a process. But I'm telling you, it's worth it. And it's worth it to get started. And most of us are too scared to start little because we think it's got to be this huge thing that's going to have to replace our job. But the truth is for me, it started out very little. And it completely build and build and build. And that's where you go brick by brick by brick to create the life that you actually want. It's taking one step at a time. And that's what I did. And I hope this podcast and this five minute Friday makes you take that one step at a time. Thank you.
