It was Christmas week, and he was dead broke with baby number 4 on the way.  Fast-forward to 7 years later…..Life looks very different.    What You'll Learn:  One of the best lessons Patrick learned after getting slammed the week of Christmas with a layoff  Lessons he learned in navigating running a business on his own and the long hours required to do so effectively The importance of being surrounded by people who are more successful than you Arete, what it means, what it is, and the stringent processes required to apply  What it means to “Build Your Machine” and why now is an important time to join a Mastermind to help set the future of your life and business How Patrick was able to go from sleeping in to waking up at 5:00 am.

 EP 91 - Patrick Bolanos, From Rock Bottom to Fulfillment Doesn't your life turn absurd when you lose purpose in it? For Patrick, it does with his experience it in reality. Climbing the corporate ladder, getting highly paid, and doing all well in his jobs had never been fulfilling for him as he says, “ I was never really the best version of myself.” Patrick was in a family of five when he lost his job, and everything became terrible, leaving him upset. He was carrying debt, his finances were s**t, his marriage was in the gutter, and he was pretty much overweight. Things wouldn't have changed for the better until he decided to turn his life all around by doing the right thing. Patrick Bolanos is now the co-owner of a thriving food truck company and a co-founder of a baseball academy. He stands for strong support not only for his wife and kids but many underprivileged children in Nicaragua who get the opportunity to sign with Major League Baseball. He is also the host of the Working For A Dream podcast which showcases good life stories. In this episode of No Bull Business and Brews, Patrick shares with Jason and Steve all that he did to bounce back from hitting rock bottom to finding fulfillment in his life. His profound realizations and actions make this another life-changing episode for you all. Tune in to get yourself kicked into gear and know how fulfilling it can be to live your life being the best version of yourself.   What you will learn: Why Patrick started his business in the food truck industry and how he thrived in it.

Sometimes, powerful reminders come to us in seemingly innocuous ways.    In this special solo episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Patrick reflects on two lessons while taking his wife's van to the car wash. Within these reflections, he thought back to his lowest point nearly a decade ago, and he shares an email he found that exemplifies this period.   “The main f***ing reason I had to write that type of email was that my mindset was broken,” he says. “I was broke — broke financially, broke mentally. It took about ten more years for me to wake the f*** up.”    He also shares a vital lesson someone working at the car wash that day showed him and invites us to consider the question: Are you doing the right thing in life, regardless of who's looking?   What You'll Learn:   The mindset that led Patrick to live paycheck to paycheck for 15 years How he came to realize “no one is going to come to save my company or my marriage or my family” and learned accountability The profound lesson Patrick took away from a simple exchange at the car wash And much more!   Favorite Quote: “How you do one thing is how you do everything.”   — Patrick Bolanos   How to Get Involved: Patrick Bolanos is a serial entrepreneur, business owner, and CEO of Trailer King Builders in Houston, Texas.

Nicaragua, where Patrick Bolanos was born and raised, is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, right behind Haiti. He's lived in the U.S. for some time now, but whenever Patrick returns — as he did recently, with his 15-year-old daughter in tow — he's reminded of the way his native country's extreme poverty “hits you every single time.” Patrick was back in Nicaragua to meet the parents of children he supports through his Working for A Dream Baseball Academy.  “My goal in life was to make an impact, especially in the life of Nicaraguan boys and children that play baseball,” he says. “My ultimate dream was to play baseball. So that's why I support a baseball academy, and by support, I mean economically and financially. I made it a mission to help this academy so that we can give kids the opportunity to sign with Major League Baseball.” In this special solo episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Patrick talks about the impact he's been able to help make through the academy and the importance of perspective.   What You'll Learn: What Patrick's takeaways are from his recent return to Nicaragua The type of support he's been able to offer Nicaraguan families Why baseball gives kids a unique opportunity to access a better-resourced life And much more!   Favorite Quote: “I invite everybody that's listening to find something that you're passionate about.

Recently, I took a trip to Nicaragua.  It's my homeland.  It's the place where I was introduced to the world and while I live and enjoy the ease of living in the United States, a part of my soul is still connected to Nicaragua.

In this solo episode Patrick addresses why having passion is the main tool for making your dreams happen. We get caught in working in our business rather than operating it, and because of it we end up wasting time on a task that can be handled by our other staff members. The passion will continuously grow but you have to be willing to keep focus on what you want your business to become.  Patrick speaks about his experience of taking 6 years to graduate college after a few failed try out attempts in baseball and how he pivoted and ended up graduating from the University he wanted to go to. We have to first fall in love with the journey before we can fall for the goal. When we can diversify the difference, that's when we have a chance at success.  How to Get Involved: Patrick Bolanos is a serial entrepreneur, business owner, and CEO of Trailer King Builders in Houston, Texas.

(From the Working for a Dream Podcast)Our lives are like movies. Sometimes they get started right in the middle and we have to build around them.  It's as if we get dropped into the very families, or socioeconomic situations that challenge us to make a decision……..to quit or grow.  Abandonment, poverty, depression, and many other challenges can take us off our paths, but eventually, we get back on track through the people that come into our lives, experiences we have, and opportunities that change the trajectory of our journeys. Doug Mitchell, CEO of Argenta Solar and Argenta Field Solutions made a climb from employee to ownership in less time than most entrepreneurs and took a company with just 2 employees and scaled it to well over 110 reps and over $5 million in a short period of time. Today, Patrick and Doug have a very heartfelt, honest, and candid conversation about life.  Doug jumps in sharing how he was abandoned by his Mother and Father who sent him to live with his aunt as a child.  Doug's aunt would teach him how to cook, clean, and take full responsibility for his life.  He goes on to share his journey after high school working over 12 different jobs where he was fired at each one of them for various reasons until he came upon one where he told the owner he would eventually fire him or sell his business to him. Doug takes us on a journey that took him to marriage, children, infidelity, and ultimately forgiveness, reconciliation, and a rise from the ashes of life's disappointments.  This episode is raw and real. If your'e looking to lean in on a discussion devoid of artifice, this is the one. What You'll Learn: How many times Doug actually saw his birth father in his lifeThe nature of his relationship with his Mother to this dayImpactful lessons his Aunt taught him growing upHow Doug dealt with abandonment growing upWhy Doug was given a second chance in his family life and the revelation of the most important thing he hadn't learned until well after he became a fatherThe creative, yet costly financing tactics Patrick used to bankroll Trailer King Builders to the successful organization it is nowWhy Doug credits Apex for helping him tremendously in his lifeWhere Doug's focuses lie now that he's scaled his company to a comfortable place and why it's never going to be enough Favorite Quote: “I went through the divorce and everything and I focused on my kids.  All of a sudden, I became 10X a better father because I was like, I can't be my dad. I can't be my mom.  I gotta create this family life for my kids. I gotta be the one guy that got divorced, co-parent, and raise my kids in a healthy relationship with both of us where neither one of us was using the kids against each other. I really focused on that.  I took a lot of shots to the chin, and overcame pridefulness, selfishness, and the kind of things that got me into that situation in the first place. And I just started to focus on the kids and the family. That was the beginning of establishing my core values.”Doug MitchellFollow the Podcast!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/working-for-a-dream/id1552270132

There are things that men have been assigned to do genetically, socially, and spiritually.  One of the best things men get shredded for by the haters is not spending quality time with their families, being willing to change diapers, make lunches, run the kids to school, or step up when Moms need a break to tend to the important business of caring for themselves or for their extended family.  Today, Patrick is raw, real, and vulnerable.  He talks about having to step up and hold the fort down for his wife while she tends to some important family business. It was just Patrick and his four children all week.  And the important thing is he still had to show up for work somehow.   Sometimes, as entrepreneurs, we forget that one of the reasons we built a business is so we could be more available for our families. If Patrick was working in a Corporate position, or a regular job, he would've had to take vacation or PTO to tend to his family's needs. Not this time.  In this episode, Patrick shares how he's been able to build a business that technically doesn't require him, but because of his commitment and passion for his partners and employees, it's a hard switch to turn off.   This week, Patrick made more lunches, changed more dirty diapers, and ran the kids more places than he has had to in a while.  In this episode he breaks down what had to happen to allow him to create the opportunity to be available for his family at this very important time.  He'll share the logistics of:  Delegating Hiring people to help you in your business The systems, processes, and support required to make it happen     If you've been struggling as a parent and entrepreneur in keeping everyone happy, including yourself, pull up a chair and listen closely. Patrick is about to drop some timeless wisdom on you.     How to Get Involved: Patrick Bolanos is a serial entrepreneur, business owner, and CEO of Trailer King Builders in Houston, Texas.

Four years ago, Patrick had just $400 in his checking account. Now, 4 years in, he's grown his food truck company to 8-figures. A former bank vice president in Nicaragua, Patrick Bolanos moved his family to the United States in search of a better future. After losing his job as a CFO of a highly successful restaurant, he was left with a huge weight on his shoulders and few options. Taking a risk, Patrick made a move to help a friend sell food trucks that ultimately led to a path laced with opportunities he never thought possible building an 8-figure business within just 4 years. In this episode, Patrick speaks of his journey of struggle, his family's adversity under the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, to the practical tactics how to build a business from scratch, scale it, stay focused all while enjoying the life as a husband and father as well.

Doesn't your life turn absurd when you lose purpose in it? For Patrick, it does with his experiencing it in reality. Climbing the corporate ladder, getting highly paid, doing all well in his jobs had never been fulfilling for him as he says, “ I was never really the best version of myself.” Patrick was a family of five when he lost his job, and everything became terrible, leaving him upset. He was carrying debt, his finances were s**t, his marriage was in the gutter, and he was pretty much overweight. Things wouldn't have changed for the better until he decided to turn his life all around by doing the right thing. Patrick Bolanos is now the co-owner of a thriving food truck company and a co-founder of a baseball academy. He stands strong support not only for his wife and kids but many underprivileged children in Nicaragua who get the opportunity to sign with Major League Baseball. He is also the host of the Working For A Dream podcast which showcases good life stories. In this episode of No Bull Business and Brews, Patrick shares with Jason and Steve all that he did to bounce back from hitting rock bottom to finding fulfillment in his life. His profound realizations and actions make this another life-changing episode for you all. Tune in to get yourself kicked into gear and know how fulfilling it can be to live your life being the best version of yourself.   What you will learn: Why Patrick started his business in the food truck industry and how he thrived in it.

Sometimes, powerful reminders come to us in seemingly innocuous ways.    In this special solo episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Patrick reflects on two lessons while taking his wife's van to the car wash. Within these reflections, he thought back to his lowest point nearly a decade ago, and he shares an email he found that exemplifies this period.   “The main f***ing reason I had to write that type of email was that my mindset was broken,” he says. “I was broke — broke financially, broke mentally. It took about ten more years for me to wake the f*** up.”    He also shares a vital lesson someone working at the car wash that day showed him and invites us to consider the question: Are you doing the right thing in life, regardless of who's looking?   What You'll Learn:   The mindset that was led Patrick to live paycheck to paycheck for 15 years How he came to realize “no one is going to come to save my company or my marriage or my family” and learned accountability The profound lesson Patrick took away from a simple exchange at the car wash And much more!   Favorite Quote:   “How you do one thing is how you do everything.”   — Patrick Bolanos How to Get Involved:   Connect with Patrick:    LinkedIn   Facebook   Instagram

Nicaragua, where Patrick Bolanos was born and raised, is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, right behind Haiti. He's lived in the U.S. for some time now, but whenever Patrick returns — as he did recently, with his 15-year-old daughter in tow — he's reminded of the way his native country's extreme poverty “hits you every single time.” Patrick was back in Nicaragua to meet the parents of children he supports through his Working for A Dream Baseball Academy.    “My goal in life was to make an impact, especially in the life of Nicaraguan boys and children that play baseball,” he says. “My ultimate dream was to play baseball. So that's why I support a baseball academy, and by support, I mean economically and financially. I made it a mission to help this academy so that we can give kids the opportunity to sign with Major League Baseball.”   In this special solo episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Patrick talks about the impact he's been able to help make through the academy and the importance of perspective.   What You'll Learn:   What Patrick's takeaways are from his recent return to Nicaragua The type of support he's been able to offer Nicaraguan families Why baseball gives kids a unique opportunity to access a better-resourced life And much more!   Favorite Quote:   “I invite everybody that's listening to find something that you're passionate about.

When you've lost your sense of motivation and purpose in life, every day can seem like a battle you don't feel like fighting. Patrick Bolanos knows this all too well. Not long ago, he was simply going through the motions of life, working a job that wasn't making him happy and living paycheck to paycheck in the process.    “I wasn't doing anything with my life,” he says. “I would come home, turn on the tube and drink some beers. I was overweight… I wasn't all there, I wasn't committed, I wasn't happy.”   Patrick's identity, he says, was “severely broken.” Until he got a wake-up call four years ago that made him realize it was time to turn things around, for the sake of himself and his family. Today, he's the proud co-owner of a thriving food truck company and the supporter of not only his own four children but also kids in his native Nicaragua, where he founded a baseball academy. His marriage has been patched up, he's out of debt and most important of all, his life feels like it has meaning again.   From hitting rock bottom to finding fulfillment, hear Patrick share what he's learned, where he's come from and where he's going on the Working For a Dream Podcast.    What You'll Learn: How embracing self-development and gratitude helped Patrick change his life Why it's never too late to find meaning and purpose again How to recognize the signs that it's time for a life overhaul And much more!   Favorite Quote:   “If you're about to hit rock bottom or you don't know where to start, it all starts with feeding your mind with positivity and being grateful, and then we go from there… All you have to do is be consistent, apply the disciplines, and one small step at a time, you will see incremental changes.”  — Patrick Bolanos   How to Get Involved:   Connect with Patrick:    LinkedIn   Facebook   Instagram
