How I Turned My Passion Into A Money Making Machine

September 8, 2021 / / 0 Comments

When I started Leavingweakness in 2015, I didn’t originally create the site as a money making business that it later became. 

I started the site as an online blog to document various things I was doing to improve my life while working a demanding job as the branch manager of a food service company. I originally used it as an online journal to reference for personal accountability. 

After making several post, I surprisingly saw a gradual influx of site traffic from people who needed the content I was creating because they too were on journeys of improving their lives. The more I wrote, the more visitors I got. 

Then, I found out that I could turn words into money…

Breaking Up With Your Inner Bitch – Fitness Thuggery

August 19, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Let’s discuss one of the biggest problems we face as men concerning our appearance. Fat loss.

I’m sure that you all have been subjected to this very subject a million times from experts who conducted this trial and that study. But I want to speak with you all man to man and address some real issues while pointing out a few facts.

As men we have a tendency to disguise our insecurities in life and in the gym.

Sure we go to the gym, however often we put up a wall that reveals itself in one of two ways.

We isolate and don’t seek out help and if we do, we seek it out from persons about on the same level as ourselves.

We pretend to be satisfied with what we’re doing and use phrases like ‘I just want to be fit’, ‘I just wanna gain 5-10 pounds of muscle and lose a little fat’…

lets address these things..

Good things come to those who cant sit still

August 13, 2020 / / 0 Comments

I absolutely hate that old saying ‘good things come to those who wait’.

What a pathetic incentive for people to set on their ass and let their ambitions pass them by!

If I’ve learned anything over the past 5 years, it’s this. Nothing in life comes to those who wait, and good things happen to those who can’t sit still!

I have people who constantly telling me that I need to relax, I work too much, and that I stay too busy.

This does not offend me. In fact, I tell those people that they are absolutely right and I would honesty have it no other way.

You see, I know that there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who want to be taken care of and those who take care of things. I created a system of income for myself that I enjoy being immersed in. But I know that I must hustle to keep it growing because no one is going to take care of me except me.

The Benefits of Sobriety and Why I Stopped Drinking

June 22, 2020 / / 2 Comments

I’ve been MIA for several weeks in order to make some very important changes in my life.

It’s very difficult to continue moving forward towards a life of prosperity if you don’t admit the necessary changes you need to make…..one of those changes for me was admitting that I had been a high functioning alcoholic for nearly a decade and that it was absolutely imperative for me to set my ego aside, be truthful with myself, and ask for help.

The past 30 days have brought a level of clarity that I couldn’t have imagined and my life has improved in every way possible. My wife has been extremely supportive in this endeavor and I don’t think I could have been successful without her support. Though traditional AA meetings have been virtually impossible because of covid-19, the one-on-one meetings and phone calls from the people from Alcoholics Anonymous has been crucial in this battle.

opportyunity in every terrible situation

The Golden Opportunity In Every Terrible Situation

April 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There exists a golden opportunity in every terrible situation.

Most people just aren’t conditioned to see it. Likely because we’ve been taught by our society that its completely fine to accept mediocrity and think that something ‘just isn’t possible’.

But the truth is that if we want our situation to change, we have to instead ask “How can I make this possible?”

The positive opportunities reside dormant in every negative event waiting for us to utilize it. It is the universes way of balancing itself. It has been called many different things. But regardless of what you want to call it, its always there, and always will be.

This is an unusual time for humans. Many uncertainties stain our thoughts. And hope for a better tomorrow is beginning to waiver for many of our brothers and sisters. I worry that the lasting effect of this pestilence will not just be economic. I’m far more worried about the repercussions this plague will have on the mental health of Continue reading

How to rise above the middle class scam

How To Rise Out Of The Middle Class Scam

January 6, 2020 / / 0 Comments

You don’t have to look around very hard to realize that most people are barely making ends meet. We are at a point where 76% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. It is insane that this is happening in the wealthiest country in the world.

Our government runs the education system which constantly instills in us that we must go to college. College has been sold as the guarantee to greater wages for the past 60 years. However, the exorbitant cost far outweigh the benefits of the investment.  Many students have are scammed into achieving degrees which prove meaningless in real life and business.

The average student loan debt is now $37,000 and risen by a whopping 275% since 2003! One out of  four college graduates have to move back in with their parents due to hardship. A recent study showed that nearly half of all graduates are working jobs that don’t even require a degree.  Continue reading

Escape Hell and Reclaim Your Soul

Escape Hell and Reclaim Your Soul

July 8, 2018 / / 4 Comments

I had slowly given away so many pieces of my soul working  there. Aspirations and passions were put aside and abandoned. Time with my family was lost and entire friendships fell into obscurity.

I became a man that I didn’t even recognize anymore and I began to resent life.

I had a good job that I busted my ass at for 8 years to climb up the ladder and I had everything most people could have wanted. They paid me very well, great benefits, and even a Continue reading

Entrepreneurship because job security doesn’t exist anymore

Entrepreneurship: Because Job Security Doesn’t Exist Anymore

June 8, 2018 / / 3 Comments

Do you have an overwhelming sense of desperation when you clock in at work? Do you feel like your wasting the most precious years of your life making someone else rich, when you could be building wealth for yourself?

I got to a point where I felt like my soul sucking job was killing me from the inside out. I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my true purpose in life and my career felt more like a prison cell most of the time.

Eventually, I turned to entrepreneurship because I Continue reading

The people you’re closest with can hold you back the most

After I read the book Rich Dad-Poor Dad, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head. I finally understood the path to creating wealth and how I could achieve financial freedom.

In that book, one of the main themes to creating wealth is investing in real estate. Now, you might not have any interest at all in real estate investing but just hear me out because it only plays a small part in the story.
