Honed In and Fired Up – Chasing Dreams with Purpose - 2025 - Week 38 Update


Journal Entry:

This week has been excellent, and I feel like I’m really getting honed in on explaining and launching America’s Holding Company. I’ve started writing my blog directly about the mission I’m on and what I’m trying to accomplish—laying it all out there to inspire and invite others in. I’m starting to really use my voice to drive change, working on getting people to participate in that change, whether through ownership, action, or just engaging with the ideas.

I feel very blessed to be in the situation I’m in and to chase my dreams the way I am. It’s a privilege not everyone has, and I’m grateful for every step. It’s important to remember: no one will dream for you, and no one will chase your dream for you—it’s up to you.

I want to encourage you to dream of the life you want and go after it, no matter what. Life will always throw things at you—curveballs, setbacks, surprises—but those things don’t have to define you. You just need to deal with them as you grow, turning them into fuel for the journey.

Here’s to growth and chasing dreams!

Here’s my challenge for you this week: jot down one dream you’ve been holding onto—the life you envision. Then, pick one small action to chase it this week, even if it’s just researching or sharing it with someone.

Hit reply and tell me about your dream or that step—I’d love to hear and cheer you on!

With passion and purpose,

Justin

Journal Entry: This week has been a game-changer for me, thanks to diving headfirst into time blocking. I’ve started using it for my entire life—not just work, but everything from family time to side hustles—and I’m feeling incredibly productive because of it. It’s like I’ve unlocked a new level of focus. I realized time blocking is exactly like budgeting in finance: if you don’t have a plan for where your money goes, it just disappears. The same goes for time—our most valuable asset. Without...

Journal Entry: It’s been a week since my last update, and I owe you an honest explanation: I’ve been sidelined by intense pain in the wake of the public assassination of Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace. It hit me harder than I could have imagined—a gut punch that left me reeling, questioning everything. In the quiet aftermath, staring at the void his loss carved out, I saw my own life reflected back: how small I’ve been playing the game, how I’ve let a victim mentality creep in and hold me...

Journal Entry: This week’s update is all about getting real with my life—gains, gaps, and the grind to make it all work. I had a great meeting with my parents, diving into the hard truth that I can’t juggle two full-time jobs forever. There just aren’t enough hours in the day, and it’s been wearing me down. So, we talked scheduling (something I’ve slacked on lately) and zeroing in on what’s truly important. It was eye-opening to list out my priorities and commit to them: Being a dad and...
