âś… If you've been second-guessing yourself, this video will give you the confidence and faith that your success is inevitable.
From the Desk of James Wedmore:
I’ve just posted an important (and urgent) video for all entrepreneurs... especially Online Expert Brands.
We are in very unique, rapidly changing times on the planet. Most of my readers know that... but everyone FEELS it.
2025 is a “nine year,” a year of completion... preparing for NEW BEGINNINGS... and you can dive into that to see what that means for you...
But in summary: “life” is squeezing people... it’s shaking them awake.
Unfortunately, the best way humanity learns is through pain... struggle... hardships.
And I just had this lil “download" or realization come to me a few days ago: Entrepreneurship is a Gateway to Enlightenment. So true, right?
This Path forces you to heal, let go, and grow in ways you never thought imaginable.
But going back to THIS YEAR specifically...
I’ve mentioned in previous podcast episodes that this year was especially challenging for me. Jenni and I went through three near deaths of loved ones in our lives... and old structures that suddenly fell away, leaving you scrambling to make changes FAST!
And I know I’m not alone in this collective experience of facing challenges...
And for most... when you SEE it clearly, it’s the same for all of us: an opportunity to allow for old structures to fall away... this makes room for something new and better.
But the message I have for you today is clear and simple: if this year was particularly challenging for you in any way, here are four capital T truths you can’t ignore:
-
You’re not alone.
-
It was supposed to be a challenging year for you.
-
It’s PREPARING you... teaching you... STRENGTHENING you.
-
This too will pass.
Yet, the problem I'm seeing:
Instead of adopting these truths and moving through this for growth and expansion, I’m seeing entrepreneurs “throw in the towel.”
They quit.
At the first sign of struggle... the moment it feels like their old foundation is shaking... they walk away.
And I get it... starting a business feels like hiking to a destination with no trail, no map and no GPS... I think that’s where the word TRAILBLAZER comes in.
So... if you have no map, you don’t know where you are. And if you don’t know where you are, it’s easy to feel lost. And if you feel lost, with no end in sight, it makes sense you would want to go back to what IS known and familiar.
I think that’s human nature.
But, I won’t allow it. Not for you. Not today.
In fact, I’m gonna make the case that starting RIGHT NOW... everyone... and I MEAN F*ING EVERYONE needs to have their own business.
With AI taking +20% of jobs in the next 3-5 years... and the cost of living increasing... I’m starting to see that the only ones who can THRIVE are those that have truly taken their financial destiny into their own hands.
So, this is a PSA... a warning if you will... NOW is the time to take your business and future goals more seriously than you ever have in your entire life.
It’s time to upgrade from hobbyist... to PROFESSIONAL F*ING ATHLETE right NOW.
So, I made a video that can help.
It’s a Life Map. It helps identify where you are on your business and life journey, so you know how far you’ve come, and how far you have to go.
It gives certainty, confidence and FAITH that your destination (your success) is inevitable.
So, if you’ve even thought about quitting... or you’ve doubted this journey... or you’re living into that old question of “when will this finally take off?!”
This video was MADE just for you:
