The Arduous Journey To Fame And Fortune…

You’re now listening to Hack and Grow Rich with Shaahin Cheyene and his co-host Bart Baggett. The thing I realized about that period of my life, Randy, was that I was really bad at crime. I was a bad criminal, great at making money but we would get caught every time and I remember thinking to myself as an adolescent, dude Shaahin, like if there’s one thing you shouldn’t be doing it’s crime.

There are people that are good at crime and then there’s you. You are not good at crime, sir. Every single time you get caught. This leads to one place for you, so 15 years old talking to my parents, talking to this, you know, fat doctor dude and I’m like, you know what, this isn’t going to work for me. I’m out. And I built. Cut all my ties, didn’t really have many friends in those days and I just left. I was like, you know what, I’m going to burn my ships. I’m going to go out there, seek my fame and fortune. I had you left that.

He left organized crime, he left the organization. I left the illustrious world of school Pacific Palisades organized crime for the world at large and I decided to go find my fame and fortune and I had read the books of Napoleon Hill and this other guy named Stuart Wilde, who I later befriended and Wayne Dyer and all those personal development, Tony Robbins, all those old school guys and I knew that there was a path beyond what my parents knew. They just didn’t have the tools to show me.
