Today we’d like to introduce you to Arthur Rutledge.
Hi Arthur, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I grew up Having a Iove for dancing, interest in ideas of entrepreneurship, exploring, experiencing new things, & sells.
At 23 a long time friend approach me about modeling in New York. That began my expansion to traveling internationally. My dream to see the world came true over the next 10 years. I dabbled in a few businesses before, during, & after the growth from those experiences. The one that really stood out was the one that put me in and around mentorship groups. Testing me to learn, unlearn, and relearn. I soon became a opsimath and a student leadership through the support of Multi-millions of business. In 2020 I became a sojourner in the art of personal development. I intentionally practiced become a person who focused on strengthening my skillset and mindset . My Speaking & life coaching was forged through being open to the process lead by building my self-value, staying attentive to my vision, overwhelming persistence and self-discipline. In 2024 after building leadership, mindset coaching clients, and speaking in room across cultures & nationalities I had the desire to empower those individuals further through the writing my book “11 pillars of confidence”. Now As a best seller I regarded my life’s highs and lows as the lessons I needed to act on my unseen potential to believe it. I also understand everyone’s voice can bring them to abound in their significance too!
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It was a tough and exhilarating road, if it was easy I probably wouldn’t have remembered a lot of the lessons I did. Even if those lessons slept through the cracks while spanked by life. These hardships sharpened my emotions to a place of competency so I wouldn’t continue with complain or unproductive attitude at every emotional moment. The stressful responses could have drown me but it taught me to swim. The survival and tempo of emotional maturity was well worth it and helped me management hard periods. I got to understand what was positive and negative stress. Terms like, “The cognitive control method” by which I put myself around better questions to create best solutions. In turn, Making circumstances better to stay cognizant of opportunities or where to pivot from chaotic situations.
11 hard moments on the road of my success.
– my stubbornness,
– my looking and embracing shortcuts.
– my unwillingness to forgive or lay blames down.
– my hurt and mistrust to collaborate with others
– my not practicing patience and lack of delayed gratification.
– my not taking on and facing my fears.
– my not reading or educating myself in the skills needed to advance sooner in my interests.
– my wallowing in pity for long than I should of.
– my not owning my value (missed capitalizing on a lot of things there!)
