The Board BEGGED Him To Take Their Money...

There's something powerful happening in rural Indiana.

The Gibson County CEO program takes high school seniors and transforms them into entrepreneurs.

Not through textbooks or lectures...

But by forcing them to build REAL businesses from scratch.

That's where I met Gabe.

At 18, he's already a volunteer firefighter. Probably saved more lives than most of us ever will.

But watching him pitch his business idea to our board on Friday... man, that hit different.

See, Gabe created something brilliant - A.S.K. (Ahren's Safety Kits). Ahren is his middle name.

Each kit packs essential life-saving gear: fire extinguisher, fire blanket, smoke detector.

Perfect for kitchens, RVs, cars... anywhere fire could strike.

His costs? $43 per kit.

Selling price? $79.

The math works. The market's ready.

Even our board members were throwing money at him.

"In this room alone, you've got 10 kits sold," Doug, our board chair, told him.

But Gabe needs startup capital - $645 for his first batch of inventory.

The board offers zero-interest loans for exactly this reason. They even told him straight up: "If it fails, don't sweat paying us back."

Zero risk. Guaranteed sales. Clear path forward.

And still...

Gabe hesitated.

Watching him struggle with this decision...

It exposed something raw about entrepreneurship.

Something we ALL face.

That paralyzing moment when opportunity's RIGHT THERE...

But fear's got us frozen.

Maybe you're sitting on email campaigns you know could print money...

But you're scared of "bothering" your list.

Maybe you've got a course that could change lives...

But launching feels too risky.

Maybe there's a coach or service that could 2x your business...

But investing feels too scary.

We've all got our version of Gabe's $645 decision.

That moment where growth and fear collide.
