Kimanzi Constable

or twelve years I lived a life that could be best described as “existing.” I wanted more from my life but listened to my doubts, fears and the negative voices of other people. I started a service business at nineteen that grew to multiple six figures and had five employees in three states. Here’s the thing though, I didn’t know anything about business and quickly got my family and myself into serious financial trouble.

I continued to limp through the business for twelve years, even though it wasn’t my dream or passion. Every day I wanted to quit but without a college degree or any special skills, what could I do?

Things came to a breaking point in the summer of 2011. I was over $100,000 in debt, my marriage was falling apart, and my children barely knew me because I was always working.

In the back of my mind I had a dream of being a writer. How could that be possible, a guy with no college degree writing? More than that, I wanted freedom!

Three years ago I finally got fed up enough to stop existing and to do something about my dream. I decided to stop listening to all those things keeping me from a life that my family and I truly deserved.
