Daily Inspiration: Meet Nick Waters

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nick Waters

Hi Nick , can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Even though i know that everything i have gone through no matter how small has had significant impact on who I am today.

However, there were a few moments that make me feel like life really got started when they happened.

One in particular, was the loss of my Dad. He passed in September of 2015. A couple days before that, I had separated from my high school sweet heart. 4+ years at the time (we got back together a few months later were together for another 7 years and broke up again in aug 2023).

At this time, it was my second year in college, I was studying bio, Initially went for dental. Switch to chiropractic route, still studying bio and prospecting chiropractic schools after.

Health, fitness & science were innately something I’ve always cared about and I went this route because it made sense and I put a lot of my purpose on getting to this “doctorate” level and take care of my dad with what I could with my mind and my resources. When he died, it was like I had purpose ripped away from me in a way.

For the first time in my life, I found myself depressed, lost, and just looking out into the world to see what the heck is out there. Like, I dont have my dad? He isn’t going to see my kids? Like that was something i never expected to happen and it did at 19. i thought he was going to be around longer. Lil teary as i write that part, but i write it with nothing but love.

Thats what his death taught me. It took me a couple years to figure it out, but i had a good memory of him one day and I was balling about it haha. It was kinda confusing in that moment. I realized all my sadness that I had was really just love in disguise and I found gratitude in the fact that I could remember. From then on I started always finding joy when I remembered to miss him ❤️. I think thats one of the biggest gifts I’ve ever been given because i see a lot of people who really struggle grieving the ones we lose and I’ve been able to share that loving lesson with so many people and it made their lives better.

I think one of our goals in life should be that we help those who have walked in the shoes we can obviously see that we have walked down before and drop them that golden nugget lesson that helped us. Thats where you can sometimes help someone’s life leap forward because you showed them how to cross that threshold.

Anyway, fast forward to summer 2018. I get targeted by an ad from Dean Graziosi. If you dont know who he is, he is one of my favorite people on the planet. He cares so much about others and pours so much into them. During that time in my life h was the first “wealthy” guy ive seen really be a genuine guy. I was completely pulled in. This guy changed my life with his care, content, and knowledge about life, habits, business, mindset & just getting aligned with what really sets your soul on fire.

He set mine on fire and that started an obsession and i heard about personal development, self-education, self-awareness for first time and it was like an infinite boxed opened up for me. I felt like I found something that just felt totally me and that thing was figuring out where i was, who i was, how to control myself, understand limiting beliefs, understand emotions, I learned how to find alignment with myself and inner peace through these things and learning from some of the smartest people all around the world. I swear i studied character development like i was getting a phd in that haha.

But while this felt like a lottery ticket to me, I just started sharing these things with other people because these weren’t things that were, taught in school, taught in the household. These were things that were considered specialized knowledge. And there’s A LOT of specialized knowledge out there where they have infinite wisdom. Which means theyre lessons we repeat to ourselves to keep moving forward or that it’s someone’s first time hearing it and changes their life.

So none the less over the last 6 years obsessing on coaching people and at this point ive coached thousands of people around the world in many different ways. Really in anyway that was needed. One guy i talked to recently explained working with my is like having an extremely knowledgeable friend that cares and wants to support you. Thats really what ive been doing in between trying out other opportunities to see what the world has.

In June 2020 when covid hit, My ex and I went to Miami, because my new obsession opened new high risk, high reward opportunities and they didnt work out (financially) It was a wonderful and stressful journey of doing crazy things, living new areas, homeless, couch to couch, job, to job, to opportunity to opportunity and still squeezing in helping out who I could. We were there, 6 months, came back home for i think 8-10month, trying to regroup, make money etc. ended up leaving again. Back to Miami for three months, tried starting a couple businesses and worked for amazon. After those three months, situation was getting a little ugly and it was best for us to leave and we ended up in Georgia for the next 1 1/2 years.

Here we stayed with an old business partner of my ex for a month and a half. In that month and a half, we used my care to do as many food deliveries as we could and we made $5500 bucks and got a place to live and we continued to do the deliveries. Unfortunately after that the money that was made kept getting less and less every month. They were getting more stressful. I already knew I wasn’t going to do it forever and I was looking around and trying different things.

Eventually it got to the point where we were inievitably not going to be able to afford our situation. & during this 2023 year my relationship was going downhill with all this extra stress. I was trying to hold it together for my life. So much that i decided we are coming back to Michigan again. Shortly after we were not together,

I WAS broken after everything that happened. But it was the exact thing that i needed. I needed to be single. I needed to just do me. So much stress has been removed from my life. It taugh me that all the love i had in the relationship was actually all the love that was inside me. I learned more how to pour into me that I ever had because it was first time I ever considered just MYSELF.

I took the time to heal, ask really tough questions, read books, seek mentors and other support during this time.

When we moved back I moved back in with my grandma, I joked it was like an incubation chamber for me to work on myself. I didnt have any money coming in and I couldnt drive my vehicle. So I had nothing but time to myself and figure out what the heck is going on. and I did!

I also have always dreamed of public speaking and inspiring others publicly. So while I couldnt get on physical stages at the time. I put myself on a virtual stage OCT 2023. I started live streaming!

Honestly live streaming, as a personal development professional, has shown me to be on of the best personal development accelerators out there. You find your voice, you speak from the heart, you because a great communicator, youre facing fears, you growing thicker skin. Like it helped me grow so much past the relationship, im just good and healed after all that. It’s insane.

Anyway, my audience helped me name myself the Dream dr, the man who give you the medicine to believe in yourself by being again, a very knowledgeable. Kind and supportive friend that just wants to see you win.

So now I am basically only creating content, live streaming and coaching, inspiring people to be better to make this world a better world to live in.

Now i should be starting a new job in a gym soon, I should hear back today. Seems like a without being said, a done deal. Where I will be working in an actual gym for the first time. With the live streaming and my personal brand, I have gotten in front of over a million people and its gaining momentum, so partnering with a gym while my personal brand takes off is like a no brainer, Plus its in the gym I started my journey at. UGH honestly I wish this interview was a year from now because I know the upcoming year is going to be incredible. You caught me 14 months into the rebuild haha.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Oh gosh I threw those in a little bit in the story one already, but its was definitely not a smooth road, but I’d say it was exceptionally fair and life can always be worse. I’m grateful for the challenges I had. They were key in my character development.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
So what sets me apart is my unwaivered positivity, without trying im just genuinely looking at life through a positive lens. I dont ignore or suppress the negative im just so far past it. I’m locked in with my inner peace and inner beast haha.

But I love having conversations that move people forward with, Self-awareness, emotional intelligence, relationships, fitness, food, science, money, i laugh with people I cry with people. I put a genuine human connection as my top priority with anyone.

This is what is on the table with me: anyone can follow my tiktok come to my live streams and ask me as many questions as they want for free as it helps me with communication, give value to who asked the question and value to the audience. So everyone has a way of getting value. I also have a fully immersive programs where I would with people every day for three months to help them build a sustainable fitness and food lifestyle while also aiding in mindset. So the goal after three months is people are closer or hit their goals and are confidently going to be able to take care of themselves afterward

Im most proud to give all the glory to God about what I can do for others, without his hand nothing about what I do would be in play at all.

Can you talk to us a bit about happiness and what makes you happy?
Honestly, just being alive. It’s truly the greatest gift. 150,000 people die every day. Millions mourning the loss. I get to wake up every day with my loved ones or the ones I got left and enjoy their company. I have a roof over my had, I have food, I have purpose, I live life from my heart. ultimately the odds of being alive and 400 trillion to 1 so how could i not be happy???
