Newsletter Sent out today:

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to share a personal struggle that I have been facing and how it has affected me. Over the past few months, I have been going through a difficult time in my life. I have been dealing with some personal challenges that have tested my strength and resilience.

To be honest, I don't know where to start again. I have been feeling lost and unsure of how to move forward. But, I realized that starting again is not about having all the answers, it's about taking the first step towards a new beginning.

These challenges have been difficult to navigate, but I have learned that facing them head-on is the only way to overcome them. I have had to dig deep and find the courage to keep going, even when things seemed impossible.

I wanted to share this with you because I believe that it is important to be open and honest about the struggles that we face in life. We all go through difficult times, but it is important to remember that we are not alone in our struggles.

In the coming days, I will be sharing more about my personal journey and how I have been working to overcome these challenges. I hope that my story will inspire others who may be going through similar struggles, and I want to remind you that we are all capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes our way.

Thank you and I hope you will join me on this journey of starting again.

Good evening. Good evening. Good evening.

It has been far too long. Today is February 23, 2023. I took a couple of months off from doing my daily journals.

I've had a lot going on personally, working through a lot internally. And what I want, what I want to accomplish, how I want to accomplish it, what I want my life to look like while I'm trying to accomplish it. Far too often I think we as people just let things happen to us instead of design them or design the future we want to live.

So that's what I spent last year designing my future, designing what is that life that I want to live. And I'm really excited about it. The most immediate step, the first step is getting back to a baseline.

It's getting back to stability. It's paying back. I've racked up some credit card debt from my entrepreneurial journeys.

It's paying that back. It's taking care of my family and giving them the stability they deserve. And so that's why I am now focused full time with Project Tools.

And it's a SaaS company that I still get to work out of my home. I get to work closely with Jerry, the founder, and we're changing lives by simplifying data, using automations in an industry that isn't used to it. It is super fun.

I love what I'm doing right now and so I'm going to be focused on that. Project Tools is my job and I'm excited about it. I'm excited to have a job where it's everything doesn't fall back on my shoulders because I am part of a team.

So that's what I'm doing full time right now. And I'm trying to get back into the rhythm of sharing my life publicly. So I'm not sure how long these journal entries will be.

I'm not sure how often they'll be. My goal is to do them every day, but I'm not going to put a lot of pressure on myself one way or another. As you can see, I took a break because I needed the space.

And that's okay. It is okay to take breaks. I'm sitting here.

It's 1040 at night. I just finished watching Zoolander. Hilarious movie, tons of fun, highly recommend it.

I think Ben Stiller did such a great job in Zoolander. If you haven't watched it, you should go. I think it's on Amazon Prime.

So go watch it. If you haven't watched it, you will enjoy the heck out of it. Anyways, so I just finished watching Zoolander and while I was watching Zoolander, I was creating some marketing materials for the next month.

My thumbnails for these videos and I wasn't going to do today's, but I thought about it and I thought, I still have an hour and a half. It may not be perfect, I may not be in my office looking pretty, but life is never pretty. You just got to go out there and take action.

And so that's why you get me sitting in my pajamas in my bed. Emily is out on girls weekend. They're going fishing up in riggins.

They're going to have a boatload of fun. Pun intended. Anyway, so I was sitting here working on some marketing content and decided, instead of just getting ready to do it, why don't I do it? And so that's literally what this video is.

I pulled out my phone, I hit record. And now we've had a conversation for almost five minutes. And it wasn't painful.

I didn't die. Who knows? Maybe someone will even watch it someday. But even if they don't, it doesn't matter because I took action and that's what I needed to do.

And a lot of times, you just need to start somewhere. So I would encourage you. It may not be pulling out the phone and hitting record, probably isn't.

It's probably something else. But what can you do to take action today, right now? What's something you can do to move your life forward in the direction you want it to go? Do it because you deserve it. Life is short.

You deserve to chase your dreams with that. I hope you have a fantastic evening. If I can ever help, I'm here for you guys.

We'll talk to you soon. Oh, like and subscribe, I'm going to be documenting my journey on creating a better world for my kids. That's what the Life with Justin Stevens Show is.

So if you would like to join me on that journey and see what I'm trying to do, the changes I'm trying to make politically and within our economy, I would love to have you join us. So hit that, like, button and we'll talk to you all soon.
