What dream are you currently turning into reality?
I am an entrepreneur, a content creator & marketer in the auto/motorsports industry.
When did you first realize you discovered your dream?
For me, cars were my childhood. My father and two older brothers were massive car fanatics. I watched Top Gear before I watched Barney. And so, I always had that passion in me. It wasn’t till I was a junior in college when I visited my first racetrack that I realized that cars was the career path I wanted to take. Shortly after, I had the opportunity to participate in the Concours d’Elegance car show as a social media influencer. I realized then, I could do both creative direction and cars together for a living.
How does your faith go hand in hand with pursuing your dream?
Working for yourself and having your own company requires the uttermost faith and trust in God. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t take a leap of faith and trust that God will provide. Everyday I wake up thanking God for the work He has provided me with. But, faith doesn’t exist without action - You have to go for your dream, you have to act on it.
Move forward, because once you do, you’ll see that God will move with you, that He’ll provide, and that He’ll sustain you. Just have more faith. God gave you that desire for a reason, and it’s up to you to take it and move with it.
What encouragement would you give someone who’s going after their dream?
Whatever your dream may be, my advice to you is go for it. Seize this moment. Utilize your time wisely prior to your dream. Immerse yourself in your dream. Surround yourself with those associated with your dream. Network! And most of all, keep praying. For me, the doors didn’t start opening until I went out and started meeting people within my career and building connections. I believe God moves when you move. I know once you step out, you will start to see God’s divine appointments right before your eyes.
