Start with Ownership: The Real First Step in Federal Prison
The real work in federal prison begins when you stop blaming and start examining how you got there. That kind of introspection isn't easy—but it's necessary. Too many people avoid it and instead convince themselves someone will hand them a job later. Don't wait for a favor. Build something worth earning. I could've worked for my brother's company, but I chose to prove myself on my own. That mindset shift—owning your future, not outsourcing it—is what separates those who stay stuck from those who move forward.
