Many of the decisions we make in our lives are driven by our emotions. Think of a time when you were younger and made an impulsive decision because you were mad, sad, anxious, or even elated. Now, think about the outcome of each of those situations. Were they good? Or did they set you back? Because we're human, we are driven by emotion. The way we think, feel, and act is all connected. This is not a bad thing, but when it comes to making decisions regarding personal relationships and business, emotions can be detrimental to your success and future.

So much emphasis is placed on the wrong things in the world. Imagine a time when things were simpler. There was no doubt, no apparent haters, but rather a time when true grit and perseverance without complaining was the norm. When you decided to do something, you didn't question yourself to death, or allow fear of failure, or doubt to set in. You simply made a decision and took action. That spirit is still alive around the world across various ethnicities and people from different backgrounds.

You never know how things are going to turn out in life. But there's a recurring theme when it comes to having faith.......when you put action into faith, everything is possible. If you're looking for a little inspiration right now, this is one episode you'll want to listen to this one.
Anthony Solis and his brother started are the founders of Prime Tacos in Chicago, Illinois.
Prime Tacos was founded in their garage and has since grown enough to take it across the country and even had some of their TikTok videos go viral. T
hey also began cooking for homeless people and eventually started selling tacos. Prime Tacos founders got life-changing advice from Ryan Henry and grew the business to worth at least $75 million with the help of family, friends and the city of Chicago. The team even got invited to the Taste of Chicago, a three-day food festival featuring hundreds of vendors.
Key LessonsAnthony Solis and his brother started selling tacos to make extra money during the pandemic. They then created the famous "Hot Cheeto Burger" which is a cheeseburger with hot Cheetos. It was made through trial and error and has become a popular dish in the Chicago area.
Anthony and his brother started a burger business out of their garage, growing it with social media and the help of their family. They've grown the business enough to take it across the country and even had some of their TikTok videos go viral. They've taken risks to make the business successful, working long hours and pushing themselves out of their comfort zone
A group of friends decided to cook the food they had in the garage and give it to homeless people. After they sold out in an hour, they started selling every week. They got bad reviews, but it eventually turned into something good
They got life-changing advice from Ryan Henry to choose between becoming the best truck driver or the best tacos. A food truck owner recounts how he quit his old job after being inspired by his boss to become the "best taco guy in the world". He explains that the success of his business depends on the customers and he has had better weekends than making $50,000, referencing Shark Tank as a way to grow a business
Prime Tacos founders saw Barbara Corcoran at a screening and she invested $50,000 in their business which is now worth at least $75 million. Their team (family, friends, and the city of Chicago) has been with them from the start and helped them to get to where they are now. They started in a tent with grills and had to deal with unexpected weather, but the hard work paid off.
The Cheeto Burger team hustled and grinded to set up their tent and serve customers on the streets of Chicago. They were even invited to the Taste of Chicago, one of the biggest food festivals in the US and the world. The event lasted three days and featured hundreds of vendors serving food from all over the world
Anthony shared some of his experiences in prepping for events, their signature Cheeto burger, and their Tomahawk steak taco. Anthony explains how they make these dishes, the challenges they faced while prepping, and how they overcame them. People can follow their businesses on social media to stay connected.
