The Renovatio Has Been Born
A lot of you may not understand what I am about to say, but I have been reborn, literally. It may sound cheesy, it may sound cliche, it may sound invalid, but I have been. Why? Well I hit a point back in November 2009, where I told my self fuck this, it’s time to progress. Progression is changing, I told myself 2010 is the year for the Renovatio. Renovatio is latin for rebirth, and it’s more of just a word to remind me of who I am and what I can do, that I can pick myself back up, that I will pick myself back up. And surprisingly enough, minutes later, I raised $125,000 dollars for my company beModel.com. Literally a week before the new year.
January 1st I started my diet, and I have been on it perfectly since, I started P90X just a few weeks ago, yes I know you can’t see the results in the photo above, but don’t worry, you will soon! I was bloated that day, haha.
As you can tell, I got my first two tattoos just a few days ago, both in the same day, took about four hours.
My chest reads:
The Renovatio
My forearm reads:
a superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions
Now here’s even better news, things just seem to be getting better and better. The new beModel is going to be up even sooner than expected, months sooner, instead of 6 months, were looking at 2 – 4 months now. Along with every single feature set Jamie and I wanted to implement into the system, so all I can say is that January has been a fucking amazing month.
I am also having my book published in June, that’s even more amazing news. The book will be done within a few months, and I will be sending out the revised manuscripts to close friends, and people who are legitimately interested in giving me feedback on the book can get a copy of the manuscript. I’ll go ahead and show you the book, because my blog readers deserve to see a sneak peak.
If you are interested in being notified of the book release, please go to my book websites @ Young & Stupid: How I Made & Lost 2.5 Million Dollars and subscribe! The book will be on Amazon.com and in stores nationwide.
I don’t mess around when it comes to getting shit done. Like I said, this is the year of the Renovatio. People, please don’t give up, don’t lose hope, if I can do it, you can do it. Stop dreaming, and reach for it.
Love,
Andrew Fashion

Just that you want to do it over again without loss doesn't mean a change has taken place. And just that growing up affected how you think about your money doesn't mean a significant change has been made. Just to get it all back and more is not a change in your being. What is the real change? What exactly has been rebirthed in you? How does the rebirth affect your life now? what has been changed about your being.. your mind.. your goals.. your purpose.. your essence.. that is different than last time? It's an interesting thesis.. but what is the real difference of the rebirthing? Are you the same mind, the same soul as before?
Like I said, it's a feeling in me, I feel different. After losing everything, and still being able to stand up, and not lose hope, make me feel like this are changing. Everything about me just feels different now, feels like I have a 2nd chance. I guess it's more personal inside, then the view from the outside might seem silly.
No matter if you want to or not, losing your entire fortune no matter if it's $1,500 or $2,500,000 it changes a person. The only real way to learn a lesson is by failure. Learning what went wrong, making changes maturing, and moving forward. Anyone who is a truly passionate and successful entrepreure will lose big more then once in their lifetime. to lose so much at such a young age is amazing. imagine losing it all at the age of 60 when your getting ready to retire… your F'd Andrew has so much time on his side.
Maturity doesn’t follow feelings. I understand its a “feeling”.. but if feelings rule our lives we have no stability. Our feelings can change depending on what we hear, or have done to us, or do to others.. if you base a relationship on feelings it doesn’t last long. As soon as one of you has their feelings change toward the other, its over. If you base an entire life on feelings you are courting disaster. Its like sand blowing in the wind.. When change comes the feelings follow. Something solid has to change in you for you to stay changed. I know you seek fame and money. In fact you mention it more often than anything else. All you are is image. What happens if the image is gone tomorrow? Image is in the viewers eye. If they see you different, your image changes. Feelings are like a blind guide that smells food. If something smells better he goes in a different direction.. even if its to his death. All this is more like the definition of immaturity. If that’s the case… nothing has really changed. Just a feeling.
I would like to see a bigger pictures with the tattoo on your arm. Is not to visible.
HEY!
k!
Sweet! Looking forward to the book!
Yay !
Haha looking fly!
So true!
You’re quite the wise guy, and quite the theorist. What it really comes down too, is how I feel [feel, act, change, react]; anything in that matter, change happens from progression [progress]. Change has happened with me, and I know it has, it’s more than a [solid] feeling, it’s more of a realization, a change, progress. The simple fact is that Renovatio means more than me just changing. Rebirth/Renew/Renovate is something that can continually and always be happening internally and externally. So Renovatio will always be relevant in every single situation, no matter the situation. 2010 is the year I picked myself back up, it means more to me than any other year I have ever experienced in my entire life, more than the 2.5 million I made, more than the 2.5 million I lost, more than the relationships I lost, more than my depression and emotional state I went through. Chronic, ill, raged, emotional, depress state I went through, my first love even called me a Manic Depressive. It was a horrible stage of my life. 2010 I felt alive, I felt the progress. I felt I could, and I did pick myself back up. Feelings may be sand blowing in the wind, but without them, we wouldn’t be human.
I don’t know what you are trying to accomplish, change my perspective, give me your perspective on things. But the perspective is my realization, and nothing can change my feelings.
