Meet Jordan Faust

Hi Jordan, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I found my purpose, when I stopped looking for it. It was right in front of my face the whole time but I missed it because I was too focused on looking for it, rather than realizing it was right here with me the whole time.

For quite a while, I wondered, “what is my purpose?” and I even made an album (Forgotten No More) where the concept of the project, was based around that question.

What I finally realized, was that my purpose in life is to be the absolute best person that I can be.  That way I can give my absolute best to everyone and everything, around me

I feel like as long as I’m giving my best effort in doing that, then I can live with whatever else happens.

What I CAN’T live with, is NOT trying because I feel like I’d be letting everyone around me down, as well as myself.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Dad: to 3 kids: Tayleigh, Kingston, & Benjamin Faust. I love all 3 of you guys, more than I can ever express and everything I do is for you.

Health & Wellness Fanatic: One of my biggest goals of 2023 was to go all-in on my self-improvement, to make myself and my life as great as possible.
Things I do to make this happen: quality sleep, exercise, eat well, read, drink tons of water, meditate, manifest goals/dreams through journaling etc

Recording Artist “Forgotten One” & Head of Label Relations w/ Bentley Records: I make pop-rap music intended to motivate/inspire my listeners and my music is available everywhere, under my stage name “Forgotten One”.
I’m signed as an artist w/ Bentley Records and work for the company – selling label imprints, so client’s can start their own record labels, under Bentley.

I’m also going to be launching my own record label, as a label imprint, and starting my own podcast in the near future!

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Reflecting on the first half of the year of 2023, which has been a really hard year for me so far, here’s a few of the really important lessons I’ve learned:

1. Be very cautious of the company you keep around you.
– I’ve truly come to realization of the importance of keeping good people around you and also keeping negative people/energy, as far away as possible.  You truly see the impact when you rid the negative and bring in the positives.
– I’ve made the choice to cut toxic people out or at least limit the communication as much as possible because I’ve found when dealing with these types of people you lose if you engage, so doing the opposite is the only way to win.

2. Always save your money and have it available, for worst case scenarios
– Anything can happen, at anytime, so being prepared financially (or just in general) for anything is so important, just in case the worst does happen.

3. Have faith and trust in God, a Higher Power etc, rather than stressing and being anxious about situations but also STILL do the work
– I know I’ve wasted a lot of time and energy stressing over difficult situations, when I didn’t need to, because I believe now my higher powers helped take care of them anyways
– I’ve learned that there’s no substitute for the handwork and it’s clear to me that all successful people share this truth

Thanks so much for sharing all these insights with us today. Before we go, is there a book that’s played in important role in your development?
There’s been so many books that have helped me and I know there will be tons more, but one book that really changed my life was “The Power of Consistency” by Weldon Long.

I felt I had always struggled with being consistent and in this book I learned not only about how to be consistent, but also about his prosperity plan and how much of impact it had on turning his life around.

I’ve been doing my own prosperity plan since then and I believe it has changed my life and will continue to be a factor to help me reach my goals/dreams.
