If you asked me in 2024, I might have given you a different answer. Did my plans involve making as much money as possible? How was I gonna make that happen? As time evolves, so did I. I realized that all my plans revolved around one thing: helping people. If I was going to make a lot of money helping people, that’s an added bonus. If I wasn’t gonna make life changing money helping people, that would be fine too. I realized that money doesn’t make the person. The person makes the person.

I want to help the next generation of leaders grow within the industry. Take them under my wings. When they are ready, let them fly. That is a big leap of faith others will have to have for me since I am still relatively new to the industry. I have all the faith in the world that I can make this happen. To put myself out there, show my vulnerabilities & still feel proud of the person that I am, I’m more than good with that.

I will grow my business because I want to help as many people, directly & indirectly, as I can. Where I will be a year from now will be very different than the person who is sitting in his son’s room typing this out on his MacBook Air.

For itsdanpan.com & @itsdanpan (most of my socials), I will continually update as time goes on. I want to start a monthly email newsletter that will be about anything. I love talking so possibly podcasts & interviews as well. I plan to make my social media posts that I create memorable in that they will have a bit of humor from me. It is time to stick out like a sore thumb. Be that needle in a haystack. Do it in a way that remains tactful to the companies & people I do business with but remains true to who I am.

Inspiration comes in many forms. Sometimes it is what you read on social media. Other days it is what you see when you look outside. Maybe it’s something from your favorite store, coffee shop or restaurant. For me, it’s knowing that it is not too late to make a difference in my son’s life, my family, my friends & just about anyone really. Age is just a number so I don’t think about it that often even if my bones constantly remind me otherwise. Just go for it.

I am copying & pasting this from my phone’s notes section that I wrote on March 17, 2025 as a reminder to myself.

My Why!

Money will always be available no matter what career found me. $$$ used to motivate me but as I started getting older, it felt empty. Like being in a relationship without love & happiness. 

I didn’t sign on with Experior because of money. I saw this as an opportunity to help people & seeing them smile always touches me deep down in a way that I can’t really explain.

Nolan, my son, is my why. Knowing that I made a difference in someone’s life … my why. Life doesn’t feel empty when you find your whys. 

The End (I added that just now lulz)

I have goals to be someone who will be different in a good way of course. Be healthier, be more confident & be that person for you. I mean as long as it’s not 3 in the morning, I’m willing to take the time for my family, friends, & clients.

I will always be thankful because I won’t take any of this for granted. It could be gone tomorrow. I hope not so I will control what I can & pray that someone is watching over all of us.

I know I was supposed to delve into my future plans within the industry & I did briefly touch upon a few things. But I like being able to let y’all see who I am even if it seems like I’m rambling on & on. That’s just who I am.

I hope that you have enjoyed this blog post. I wish you nothing but the best in wherever life takes you after this.
