Start Living Today, Not Tomorrow!

Starting My Founders Journey, Motivation for You to Get Going!

Unique Perspective

Two years ago, I stopped writing my LinkedIn newsletter. I felt like I had nothing original to say. Since then, AI has taken over the world and now I’ve launched myself into a passion project, developing an AI-powered emotional wellness app called Arize and building an innovative tech company around it, that places the needs of diverse individuals first, and not as an after-thought like most other companies. Now, I have a unique perspective to share. As I build the Arize app and grow AmazeGen to a reputable company, as a black founder, whose had his share of mental health challenges, I can offer you all my learnings in building a culturally aware AI company from the ground up. I cannot predict the future; however, I can plan for it, make the best of today to be the best tomorrow.

Start Living

My first message to you today is, “Start Living your Dreams Today, not Tomorrow.” Building AmazeGen is me living my dreams. I had to take a leap of faith and trust God, that He would not give me this passion and vision in vain. I believe the right people will receive my message and offer aid in my cause to make AI more equitable for everyone. I have learned that the perfect time to start something is right now. You will never be this young again!

So, what small step can you take in the next 30 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, the next minute to get you one step closer to your dreams? Is it defining a vision for your future? Is it reaching out to an important contact? Is it using Claude to do some research? It is sending an email or making a phone call? Whatever you need to do, do it right now and take step towards your bright future!

Your homework is to make that call, send that email, do that research and/or decide that you want more out of life. “What you aren’t changing, you are choosing!” Let that sink in. If you want a better health, more knowledge, more impact, more wealth, it requires you to change and the great news is you can choose to start making changes right now!

It all starts with a vision. What does your best life look like? What communities or people could you impact or inspire? What do you want to do for your family and loved ones. What do you want your legacy to be? Remember, we have one life to live. We must make the best of it where possible.

I like to keep my newsletters short, there are plenty of others for AI tips, career suggestions, etc. that are longer and may have more information. My newsletters are those who want to “live their dreams”.

Why Do Some People Win? My answer is because they choose to!

What is your answer???
