There’s a part of my story I’ve never talked about.
I’ve never been big on talking about tough times or complaining. But lately I’ve been thinking about how I’ve survived. How I’ve worked. How I’ve made my money.
My life didn’t go the traditional way.
I spent the better part of 20 years chasing music. I put everything into it, but didn’t get the ending I expected.
Eventually you realize something: you still gotta work.
Nobody cares that you can sing when the bills are due.
So I worked.
Companies, warehouses, offices. I even had my own office at Lexus. I drove a cab and spent eight years doing pest control with my own truck and route.
Somewhere along the way, I realized I like being on the road.
Get in the car. Make my money. Handle my business. Come home.
That’s me.
Then COVID happened.
As terrible as it was, it changed how we lived. Convenience became a priority. Rideshare and delivery became a real lane for me.
That changed my life.
I’ll probably drive rideshare until I’m financially where I want to be. It fits me.
But I stopped treating it like just driving.
I studied the hours, rides, positioning, dead time, what made money and what didn’t. I adjusted until my workflow became repeatable.
I built a system.
The target is $300 a day. I’ve done it on Uber, and now DoorDash gives me another way to get there.
But this is really about finding a way.
I didn’t make it through these last few months alone. My family stepped up.
They know who they are.
I know what you did. I know when you showed up. I wouldn’t have made it without you.
I’m thankful to Yahua, the Most High, for carrying me through it.
When somebody delivers your food or picks you up in an Uber, don’t look down on them. You don’t know their story.
Maybe they’re rebuilding, supporting a family, building something bigger or simply surviving.
Honest work is honest work.
This wasn’t some brilliant plan. This was me surviving the world.
Life happened. I adapted.
Those adjustments became a system that helped me survive.
Now it’s time to see what it can really do.
Everybody has to find their own way.
This happens to be mine.
Now it’s time for me to go finish what I started.
