The Miller Organization turned 18 years old today.

18 years ago, I quit my job to start a company.

The company struggled. 0 clients for 6 months.

I could not pay my bills.

I nearly defaulted on my small 3-bedroom condo.

I asked friends to rent empty bedrooms.

They paid $400 per month.

Now, I could pay my mortgage but not much else.

So, I went to the Panda Garden buffet 3X per week.

I snuck zip-lock bags into the buffet.

I scraped General Tso’s off plates into zip-lock bags.

General Tso’s fed my dog, Lucy, & me for days.

I went back to the buffet when I ran out of food.

I stayed hungry.

6 months later, I got 1 client.

I fu***ng killed for that client.

Then, I got a 2nd client. He owned 4 restaurants.

The Biltmore. The Virginian. West Main. Three.

I fu***ng killed for him.

Then, he opened Citizen Burger Bar.

I fu***ng killed for him again.

The word got out. People talked. The phone rang.

Hedge funds. Law firms. Docs. Investors. Buyers. Sellers.

Same plan: show up, work hard, communicate, grind.

DWYGD = Do What You Gotta Do

18 years later, I own 24 rental properties.

That small condo has $0 debt & yields $2500 per month.

My wife and I own a 5-BR home on 4+ acres in Ivy.

Today, The Miller Organization puts deals together.

We solve problems, connect $ & drive market share.

This journey has been the best, hardest thing ever.

It’s been the longest, shortest thing ever.

18 years later, we have 8-year-old & 3-year-old sons.

They make us happy; they drive us crazy.

18 years later, I’m happy - tired - but happy.

If you’ve read this far, leave with this:

Make your passion your profession, and you will never work a day in your life.

This is America. Pick a job and become the person who does it.

Life is a fight for a knife in the mud. Win the fu***ng fight.
