How I Lost Everything Twice... And Came Back Stronger Than Ever

How I Lost Everything Twice… And Came Back Stronger Than Ever

You ever feel like life just keeps knocking you down?

Like no matter what you do, something always comes along and rips it all away?

I know that feeling better than most.

I didn’t just lose everything once, I lost it twice.

First, when my father took his own life.

Then, when I hit rock bottom, broke as hell, barely scraping by.

Both times, I had a choice, stay down and make excuses, or get the f*** up and take what’s mine.

Let me tell you how I made it back.

The Day Everything Changed

I still remember the knock on the door.

The police came in, told my mom and me to sit down, and then hit us with the worst news imaginable.

My father had shot himself in a hotel room.

My mom collapsed, screaming. I sat there, frozen.

It didn’t even feel real.

And in that moment, I had two choices:

I could let it define me, let it break me, let it be my excuse for why I never made anything of myself…

Or I could take control.

I wasn’t ready to be the man of the house. I wasn’t ready to take care of my family. I didn’t have the tools, the knowledge, or the money.

But nobody was coming to save me.

And I sure as hell wasn’t going to sit around waiting for life to give me something.

So I decided, right then and there, I was going to win.

Rock Bottom (And The Moment I Had Enough)

Fast forward a few years.

I was broke.

I mean broke broke.

Couldn’t even afford a subway ride. I’d be in the station, looking for loose change, hoping I could scrape together enough for a train fare.

And some days? I’d have to straight-up ask strangers to swipe me through.

Most people in that situation would say, “Man, life’s unfair.” They’d blame the economy, their upbringing, their bad luck.

I didn’t do that.

Because I knew the truth: winners find a way. Losers make excuses.

I wasn’t gonna be a loser.

So I made the decision, I was gonna be the one in control.

I went all in. Started learning everything I could about business, about making money, about success. I worked harder than anyone else was willing to.

And slowly but surely, I clawed my way back.

How I Turned It All Around

The first step? I stopped blaming anything outside of myself.

Yeah, my father’s death was tragic. Yeah, being broke sucked. Yeah, life hit me harder than most.

But none of that mattered.

Winners don’t sit around feeling sorry for themselves. Winners adapt.

So I started putting in the work.

I studied business, marketing, sales, anything that would give me an edge.

I woke up every day with one goal: Get better. Get stronger. Get richer.

I turned my body into a machine, training harder than ever before.

I built my brand from the ground up, grinding day in and day out until people started paying attention.

And before long, I went from broke to running multiple businesses, traveling the world, and making money doing what I love.

But it wasn’t magic. It wasn’t luck.

It was work.

What Most People Get Wrong About Success

Most people wanna believe success is about talent.

They think it’s about connections, about luck, about being born in the right place at the right time.

That’s bullsh*t.

Success is about one thing: Who can take the most hits and keep moving forward.

Most people are soft.

The first time life knocks them down, they stay down. They make excuses. They complain. They wait for someone to come save them.

That’s why they never win.

See, I realized something most people never figure out: life is always gonna punch you in the mouth.

Your business is gonna fail. Your friends will betray you. You’re gonna lose money, relationships, opportunities.

It’s coming.

The only question is, are you gonna get back up?

Champions take the hit, spit the blood out, and keep swinging.

That’s why I win.

The BMM Takeaway

Most people think success comes from avoiding pain.

They’re wrong.

Success comes from owning your pain and turning it into fuel.

I lost my father. I lost my money. I lost everything twice.

And I used all of it.

I turned the pain into discipline. I turned the setbacks into drive. I turned the losses into wins.

If you’re struggling right now, good.

Because that means you have fuel.

Now the only question is, are you gonna use it, or are you gonna waste it?
