“Do it scared.”-Cari Champion

I heard this today on a podcast and it hit me so hard. Cari was a host on espn’s first take and left espn to pursue other opportunities, despite people in her corner telling her she was crazy.

It struck me because that’s exactly what I did in 2019.

I had no savings, my stepmom had passed away after retiring two months earlier, I was miserable at my job and SCARED.

I had never had any job as an adult other than coaching college basketball.

I was a head college coach.

So many coaches would have killed for my job. Just like I would have at 22, 23, hell even at 30.

But I was at a crossroads.

My wife literally told me “if you don’t quit your job, don’t come home”.

I was terrified. Could I actually sustain my side hustle as a FT income?

Two years later (since I started the side hustle, 18 months since going full time) I have sustained and grew the side hustle.

I still wake up everyday and hustle “scared”. What if I don’t hit that extra Walmart? Target? Walgreens?

Scared is how I’ve survived.

It’s easy to make decisions when you have thousands in the bank, but I bet you won’t attack the day like you would if you were terrified because you had to MAKE IT WORK!

DO IT SCARED
