How I Transformed My Life and Built My Dream Reality
Intro: Principles of Success
Your dream life starts with principles. These are the seven that took me from a $555/month intern to owning a company that’s generated $500M+ in five years.
They helped me build a business, marry my dream man, find community, and wake up energized every day.
1. Honesty + Vision
The foundation is radical honesty—what do you really want?
Create a vision board. Not because it’s trendy, but because it works. Pull images, quotes, anything that speaks to the life you’re building. For me, it meant:
-
A clock being shattered = I control my time.
-
Friends laughing = I’ll have meaningful relationships.
-
Sparkling money = I’ll never stress about finances.
That vision grounded me—and it still does.
2. Constant Visualization
See your future everywhere. I had my vision board in my office, my bathroom, even as my lock screen.
We put a private jet with our logo on our phones—five years later, we got it. That’s not magic, that’s focus.
You need to be the person first, then do what they would do, and only then will you have what they have.
3. Calculation
Know your numbers.
What does your dream life cost? Don’t guess—calculate. House, car, travel, donations, team payroll. Add it all up. That number becomes your goal.
Then find someone earning that and figure out: What did they do?
Dream lives don’t come from vague plans. They come from exact math.
4. Create Value
The market pays you for value. If you’re not making what you want, it’s because you haven’t made yourself valuable enough—yet.
Find people living your vision. Learn from them. Be in the same rooms. And most importantly: implement what they teach.
Inspiration without action is just entertainment.
5. Sacrifice
Everyone wants the dream—but few are willing to pay the price.
For me, it meant waking up at 5AM, working out daily, training in sales, drinking more water, and giving up alcohol. Every day. During lockdown. When it would’ve been easy to do nothing.
You don’t become your future self by coasting. You chip away, daily.
Pick 5 daily habits. Stick to them. Let them shape you.
6. Selectivity
Who you surround yourself with matters.
I once DM’d Elena Cardone: “You don’t know me yet, but one day we’ll be close friends.”
Fast forward? We are. But that only happened because I chose to say no to people and habits that didn’t align with my future.
Yes, it’s lonely for a while. But it’s worth it. Choose people who pull you forward.
7. Reflection
Ask yourself: Would the people I want to be friends with want to be friends with me?
If the answer is no—that’s okay. Use it. Grow into someone they’d admire. Study what they love. Become fluent in their world.
One of my most humbling moments was meeting a celeb I admired in NYC. She brushed me off, and honestly, I wasn’t ready. I hadn’t done the work yet. Today? I’d show up differently—because I did the work.
