My Adventure Called Life -- A Steemit Introduction

Russell profile.jpg

I have figured out I am the person who doesn’t fit into predetermined boxes. I tried the corporate world, and I didn’t feel comfortable in that box. I tried acting my age, and that box felt as uncomfortable as a pair of really bad shoes. In fact, I seem to find most worn paths are not made for me.

27 years ago, I traded in my corporate keys to step out on my own without a safety net, a plan or a firm idea of what exactly I wanted to accomplish, other than knowing what ever I was going to do, it had to be my way. What an awesome journey I am on!

I realized that institutions are brain numbing. Worn paths become ruts quickly as everyone is expected to comply and walk along the same line as prescribed by your work/school/religious overlords. There has to be a better way! Fortunately, I found a better way early in my life and have had quite an adventure thus far.

My name is Russell White and I am a sherpa of sorts.

What I want to bring to the Steemit community

Occupationally, I am an entrepreneur who coaches and advises other entrepreneurs on how to run their businesses better for their customers, employees, and for their own lives. Too many business owners are actually owned by their businesses, and that is such an awful way to live. I enjoy guiding them along new paths, so they not only enjoy better business success, but personal success as well.

I plan to offer advice and guidance for those who don’t fit the typical boxes in their work lives. Running your own business can be challenging, terrifying, and exhilarating, all in the same hour! With a bit of direction and learning from other people’s mistakes, the learning curve to operating a successful small business can be shortened significantly.
I want to help my Steemit community with that.

Being an entrepreneur is more than work, it is a lifestyle

The success I experience with work is largely predicated on my hunger for learning and new adventures. I’m looking to engage with a community of people who see life as an exciting opportunity to enjoy adventures.

Hopefully, I can inspire people to find new avenues of joy, success and satisfaction. I believe the more we challenge ourselves to experiment and try new ideas, the more we grow as leaders, and experience personal success.
I hope to share stories of what I learn on my adventures as a way to encourage others to overcome fears, obstacles, and the rules others may throw at us, that simply do not apply! I love challenging my friends. Here we are after finishing a half-marathon on Phoenix in November 2017. We had a blast!

Other topics I enjoy talking about

I plan to be responsive to those who share my interests in Steemit. I am an avid poker player and my favorite city in the world is Las Vegas which I try to get to as frequently as I can. I love to cook and share great food ideas. Music is critically important to me and I plan to attend The Electric Forest Festival this summer. I’ve never been to a 5-day musical festival, and I’ve never been camping in my life; which makes this sound like the perfect adventure for me!
Finally, I am a cryptocurrency investor and starting a new venture with a business partner to help guide and teach people how to navigate the fields of digital asset investing, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

That pretty much describes my interests and why I have joined the Steemit community. I plan to fully commit to contributing and finding people to engage with. So, let’s get connected!

Thanks for the welcome and the links to find my stats. Yes, I am very bullish on cryptos!

It is a good time to be bullish again. I believe we make sink a little bit more for a few days, then we are looking at a once in a life time opportunity to get into so many tokens for so very cheap!

Many blessings!

Do you just do Poker? And welcome to Steemit!

I'm pretty much a poker player when coming to Vegas other than the occasional round of golf. A little craps and a small bit if video poker at times wiggle into my visits, but infrequently. Are you also someone who enjoys Vegas?

I enjoy Money Line bets, and poker sometimes, but I enjoy sports betting much more so.

When it comes to March Madness, I'm all about the sportsbook! This will be the first time in 8 years I'm not in Vegas for opening weekend.
