- I'm very balanced and the most mis-understood, which I enjoy being different. I'm not the most loving, but I try my best to love myself and my growing family while helping wherever needed both emotionally or physically. I am not the most fit, but I work out at least 4 times a week and avoid shitty food as much as possible while keeping the mindset to get better. I can control my weight and strength. I am not the richest, but I am extremely diversified with talent because of my knowledge. I know how to make money in four main ways to avoid being a "salary slave":

Restaurant Consulting, Marketing for small businesses, Clothing businesses & External Painting businesses. I love being an entrepreneur and having different streams of income while having one main salary cushion.  

WHY Create this Website?

​

I'll start off by saying if you have heard an "original" thought, that thought is ground breaking news because I believe everything has been thought about. What is always different is the delivery of that thought and the personality of that person delivering it including scientists.

​

It is usually fabricated bullsh*t, which I enjoy. Like I said, its the personality that creates the uniqueness and the belief it was an original thought. This is why I have created this Balanced guide with all the repetitive cliche sh*t without the bull. I'll keep as transparent as possible. 

​

Most "Influencers" are information poets who are salesmen and manipulate belief to buy more. I want to express my intentions are not to be an "influencer" as a career. If it happens, I'll love to rock it out to help others. I want to influence the people who are close to me as they grow & that is why I'm here. Leaving a damn mark, even if it is just to a handful of people.

People Feed others Bullshit stories like it's an original thought to gain Monetary Value, also called Business, which can be appreciated if self not naive, in control, and acceptive to how society runs while NOT being desperate for the "answer". Business can be fun, free up time if done correctly (*cough* delegation), thus creating confidence:

IF YOU DON'T NEGLECT LIFE & BALANCE IT YOU WILL SUCCEED    

​

Hear me out... You will find out there are always two breakdowns to everything if you want to be successful in life and understand your purpose:

​

- The Operation = the WHAT and HOW we think we do things to achieve love, fitness results, and business while balancing each daily chores and curveballs.

AND 

​

- The Reality = the WHY we should push forward, what matters most to us, and what actually happens when emotions are involved in love, fitness, and business while overcoming obstacles and judgment that make us unique from one another & powerful. 

I will begin to introduce myself now.

My name is Austin Pray. I hate saying "I" and "Me" so much, but its hard to talk about yourself without saying that. I am a normal middle class American (for now) who loves himself like Kanye, loves his family like Tim Tebow, works his ass off in the gym & eats food like a miniature Jason Momoa, and learns & hustles in business in my own moral way. Oh, and I have a thousand hidden talents and hobbies because I have loved myself my entire life.

I grew up with a supportive family, never rich never poor. I played sports in high school and graduated college with a bachelors degree in Hospitality Management and "Bullsh*t" Business. From there, life threw its crazy bullsh*t at me and my naive innocent beautiful teenager face. I started managing restaurants, hell, I babysat restaurants. However, I was amazing at it and people loved me. I got so good I became unfortunately bored at each restaurant and would move on to another or started another side hustle while always living a balanced focused life. To learn another system, operate efficiently, work out the problems, figure it out, build it up, and move on because I didn't understand my WHY anymore was unpractical but addictive to me. I have quit the General Manager position for over nine different restaurants over a 7 year span and saw growth in sales in each restaurant beside 2, got begged to not leave from 5 out of the 7, and of course got offered the typical "come back" raise, get my drift?   

I did this forever until my AH HA moment... last year the franchise owner of the restaurant I was managing showed me the reality of how depressing the industry could be, got offended I was leaving, and didn't pay me for my final two hard working weeks... yes this actually happens. This motivated me to move on to an industry that I could help run businesses, not people, and really found my passion with helping people and educating them to get better. This industry became marketing AKA making businesses look sexy and be found. The best part is that it has freed up so much time. I started a mobile app, a successful apparel company, this website, and much more while helping me focus on my family more, myself, and my fitness. By the way, results produced by confidence is the best leverage you can have for yourself. By learning how to love, workout & diet, & learn while making money will create success no matter how much more you will always want. Learn the "Secrets" if you will, which truly means learn where I have messed up so you don't do the same... the best kind of learning that imprints your brain to not do them for yourself, MMKAY.    

​

I have created this website not with the intentions to be an information poet or a bullshitter, but mainly as an attempt to help guide like Yoda from what I have learned from others throughout being a naive little shit for the first 20 years so I could start helping by 27 to create more "Luke Skywalker's" around me and this world. Become better than you were yesterday. 

​

I have enough credentials to teach something to someone in this world just through experience with trial and error. I have been there, done that, and learned each and everyday from all the purpose in this world & success leaders that I surround myself with and want to relay all great information to you. What I glow however, which I feel is rare, is genuine BALANCE and Self Awareness to life situations. I don't want to be famous, I don't want to be rich, I want to be the same as I am now while growing each day to be more balanced and full. 

With this I have created an original formula to become balanced... sounds crazy right.

I have realized that with being Loved by yourself first, loving others second, loving society third you will create a fire to become healthy for yourself. With knowing what works in the fitness industry from workout routines to diets you will start wanting to learn more. Educating yourself more to produce results in the monetary financial field of wealth & keep learning. This is what balance looks like. Don't just balloon one, balloon all three. 

To get any results from others you will first have to feel you give yourself value. When you feel like this badass, then you can give back value to others. If you think you are valued at a Million dollar salary a year, than you will have to give 100 million dollars a year to others in value return.

Why do I charge money then? To keep things running, unfortunately needs a shit ton of money. 

 So If your like me you're probably getting bored by now, so sit back relax and enjoy the simplicity of what knowledge I cherish the most, that have produced the best results in my life. If I have not achieved that PLEASE email me at Austin@prayandaustin.com

- Austin Pray, P&A

If your still reading...Here is my quick story

MY YOUTH...

​

• Through my youth I have been really, "good" at everything and that has never changed. Very Seldom have I been the best at anything, but I am very competitive and knowledgeable in most everything that I do and overall weirdly happy and patient with everything.​

​

• Sports were huge in my youth years playing football, baseball, golf, and hockey. I was always on the second best team for some reason.

  • I believe this humbled me the most through failure always being second at a young age and seeing people always beating me.

    • What I learned was how to have fun with failure and how to have fun improving every year. I was always the nicest and friends with everyone I met. ​

MY COLLEGE DAYS...

​

• Through my college days I had more self awareness and learned how to mix my creativeness with my knowledge and smarts. I became less afraid the more I trusted my skills I had acquired throughout the years. I observed how the suave college students got all the girls and dressed, I observed how the successful students studied, I observed how the most fit people performed fitness, I observed and replicated very well. I started and managed businesses throughout my college days while graduating with "good" grades in the Hospitality Management Degree and Business from Colorado State University. I kept competing everyday...​

​

• Competing with extremely skilled individuals at this level made me understand how much I needed to improve and I did. I started to become a winner, see success, became "buff", and I started to get what I wanted and see results.

• What were the cons of this you ask?  

  • I started to become a douche-bag and overly confident. I felt I could do and get whatever I wanted when I wanted. This made me an asshole, but more self aware of it. I blame the hormones...  

    • What I learned towards the end of my College days were how to be confident, but not a douche. I started to be more open to change, differences, how to adapt, and Learned how to be more self aware when I became an asshole to others.

    • I realized being an asshole could get me results a lot quicker, but burned a lot of bridges along the way and wasn't as happy from it.​

THE PRESENT MOMENT...

​

• Today, I Know how to network, make money, learn from everyone, and how to build an ARMY of friends, Mentors, & Family. I learn daily I am not the best, but I learn how to become successful with dedication, balance, and commitment to myself everyday with a supportive team and not to be the best individual, but thrive to building the best ARMY. I learn that to feel successful is to feel balanced between LOVE, FITNESS, & GROWTH. Once I slack on one thing I need to focus better on it daily and help others do the same (If they want to).

• Life Is Easy as long as you are Persistent to Growing yourself Physically, Mentally, and Spiritually 

  •  1. Work Efficiently, Effectively, and always Motivate yourself.

  • 2. Don't give Excuses to why you can't or get scared, rather look for solutions like a child, fearlessly & Creatively. 

  • 3. Execute, communicate, Plan, and Stay Humble. 

​

• Be confident, but not an asshole. Be Successful, but don't force it, be Patient. LOVE, WORKOUT, DON'T EAT SHIT, READ, EXECUTE, HELP, BE A CHILD, WORK, LIVE​​
