As a child Vincent Pugliese was, in his words, a giant pain in the butt. For example on the 200th year anniversary of the United States of America in 1976 everyone at his school had to wear red, white and blue, but he insisted on wearing a green suit. This rebel streak may not have endeared him to his teachers, but it has worked in his favor in the entrepreneurial world.

 

Vincent didn’t do well at school, dropped out of college five or six times and was arrested when he was 18 years old for stealing. As a 22-year-old he was working at a convenience store and making extra money by overcharging each customer a little. After a customer called him out on it, he woke up one night in a dead sweat and knew he had to change his life. His dad suggested he become a sports photographer and Vincent threw himself into attending games, hustling his way to the front row.

 

He got a lucky break at one game and his sports photography career took off.

 

Now he runs a photography business academy and a business mastermind program while enjoying financial freedom, homeschooling his three sons and traveling with his family. His new book, Freelance to Freedom, is available for free as an audio download.  

 

Vincent’s tips for listeners are:

  • A lie is believing what happened in your former life. We base so much of our adult life on what that kid in eighth grade said on the basketball court.
  • Think, “How do I afford it?” as opposed to “I can't afford it.”
  • One of the lies we tell ourselves is, I’m not good enough.

 

Vincent’s achievements show how far being curious and generous can take you in life. His goal for his sons is for them “to constantly have a love for learning”.

 

Don’t be a podcast junkie…
