This is what Locking in looks like

I didn’t start this to get followers.

I started this because I was tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for the right time.
Tired of waiting for the money to be there.
Tired of waiting for someone to see me, to validate me, to choose me.

I started this because I wanted to choose myself. Not in theory. In real life.
With real systems. Real structure. Real work.

Project Fishtank wasn’t a brand idea.
It was a survival decision. A declaration:

I didn’t want to depend on a job, a system, or anyone else to get me there.
I wanted to build something I could be proud of. Something that would last.

And truthfully? That desire came from watching the ones who came before me—
The artists who poured their soul into everything they made.
The YouTubers who built worlds from bedrooms.
The gamers who turned commitment into craft.

They made me feel like it was possible. Like I could do it too.

And now? I’m just trying to join their ranks. To build something I love. Something true. And I’m getting closer every day.

But let’s be real—holding a vision is one thing. Living it? That’s something else entirely.

Where I’m At Now

I’m not where I thought I’d be. I used to think this would happen faster. That one good post, one big sprint, one breakthrough would change everything.

But this path doesn’t move on breakthroughs. It moves on consistency.

The more honest truth?

I learned a lot these past few years. Funnels, content systems, online income models. I saw how it all fits together. I studied it deeply.

But knowing doesn’t mean doing. And that’s what I had to face.

Even so, not all movement is loud. Some of the deepest shifts happen in silence.

What I Have Done

I’ve kept the vision alive—even when I had nothing to show for it. I built a Kortex hub to track and process my journey. I stayed consistent with my writing, even when the words felt unfinished.

And more than anything?

That’s the real win.

Lately, I’ve found that mastery shows up in unexpected places. For me, one of those places is the games I play.

The Platinum Path: Mastery in the Margins

Gaming isn’t a distraction for me. It’s a tool. A mirror. A training ground.

When I chase platinums, I’m not just playing. I’m committing. I’m focusing. I’m finishing.

That’s why I’m starting The Platinum Path. Not a race. Not a challenge. A rhythm.

30 to 60 minutes a day. Trophy by trophy. Slow, steady progress through the games I love.

Here’s what I’m working on:

Starting Stack

• Spider-Man: Miles Morales

• Detroit: Become Human

• Control

• This War of Mine

• The Last of Us Remastered

• Injustice 2

Mid-Game Momentum

• Ghost of Tsushima

• Stardew Valley

• Rocket League

• The Escapists 2

Endgame Bosses

• Red Dead Redemption 2

• Elden Ring

• Bloodborne

• Dark Souls III

• Call of Duty: Black Ops III

• Borderlands: The Handsome Collection

I’m not rushing these. I’m moving with intention. Because if I can finish what I start in the small spaces of my day? I can finish anything.

Of course, there’s more to this than platinums. Everything I’m building points to something bigger.

Sovereignty: The Real Endgame

I’m not building this to get rich. I’m building this to get free.

Free to live how I want. Free to move when I want. Free to rest, think, and create in peace.

That means:

• Land.

• A home of my own.

• A van to explore the world.

• A life that doesn’t depend on a boss, a clock, or a system I don’t trust.

But to have that, I need to build this first. So this season?

This is where I make mistakes and learn from them. This is where I get sharp. This is where I earn the life I want to live.

And now I’m making it real for others too.

Here’s How to Work With Me

If this resonated with you, and you’re trying to build something real too— I’m opening the door.

I’m offering 1-on-1 Lock-In Calls for people who:

• Want to create a digital product

• Need clarity or structure on their current goals

• Want to show up online more consistently

• Or just feel stuck and need direction

These are paid sessions where we tap in for 60 minutes.
You bring your project, problem, or goal.
I bring structure, insight, and support.

You walk away with momentum.

If You’re Still Reading...

I appreciate you. I’m doing this one post at a time. No team. No fancy studio. Just a commitment to this path.

This is what locking in looks like. And it’s only the beginning.
