Have you ever heard the saying, “Everything is figureoutable”? Entrepreneurs figure it out. If there’s a problem, if there’s something that needs to be solved, we can figure it out. This mindset has to be in place.

Now that we’ve established that, let’s get into it.

When I first started in my brand, Unapologetic®, I really didn’t know what I was doing. But then, I got an amazing opportunity to go on tour with a promoter. Here’s what you need to realize about touring: it can be an amazing opportunity—not that it will be.

Let me say that again: it can be. But for me, “can be” was all I needed.

I knew there would be risks involved, but I was willing to take the chance because I told myself, Even if I don’t sell a single shirt, I’ll have the opportunity to talk to people about my brand—people I wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to meet face-to-face. That was my mindset. If I could just cover gas, hotels, and the cost of being on the tour itself, I was good. I even went so far as to say I’d sleep in my truck if I had to.

I’ll be honest: it was hit or miss for a while. Some shows were amazing, and some weren’t. And when you’re on the road back-to-back, you have to stock all your merchandise upfront, so your costs are loaded on the front end. Then you’re working to make it back on the backend. Still, it was a chance I was willing to take.

Stepping out into the unknown is risky. That’s why I’m so passionate about my shirt: Faith got me living risky. I really live this.

It reminds me of that scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade—the one where Indiana comes to a deep chasm that looks impossible to cross. He’s standing there, faced with what looks like certain failure, but he’s told to take a leap of faith. As he steps out, what looked like nothing suddenly becomes something. A hidden bridge appears beneath his feet, carrying him across to the other side.

That’s what faith is like. You don’t always see the path ahead, but you step out anyway, trusting that what you can’t see will show up when you need it most.

I wish I could tell you that becoming an entrepreneur comes without risk. But if I told you that, I’d be lying. Even when you reach a point where the risks are more calculated, they’re still risks nonetheless. But here’s what I want to say: believe in yourself and go for it.

If you never try, you’ll never know. And honestly, that’s the thing I can’t live with—not trying, not knowing.

God Bless The Entrepreneur.
