Let me tell you a story, a story of perseverance. This path of self- employment in the dog game wasn’t easy. I had my share of detractors. From family to friends and the others that told me to get a job and just be happy living paycheck to paycheck. One person in particular stood out, my high school counselor Dr. Ford.
I didn’t like school too much bouncing from one high school to another. I missed a lot of days and ditched many more so some fault lies on me. But a counselor should do everything possible to encourage a young man to fulfill their every possibilities.
It wasn’t that I didn’t tried talking to her about what I was doing. I shared with her my passion in dogs, my accomplishments in the sport of Shutzhund and the possibilities that came with sticking to training dogs.
Dr. Ford wasn’t listening she would tell me I wouldn’t amount to anything. Stay home if I didn’t like school. This little dog gig isn’t going to give me a career. Instead she’d flaunt her yearly salary, degrees, and where she travels instead of listening, encouraging what I was doing.
I’m not about to sneak diss this post is for you, Dr. Ford 🖕🏽I followed my dreams, created businesses and became self made all the while being a high school dropout. School isn’t for everybody, I realized that early on but when you dream BIG, set goals you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Just do you!
