Hey! I'm ChelseaLifts - As a full time YouTuber for the past 5 years, naturally, STEEM has caught my eye!

Although I have 135k subscribers, I do think "serial entrepreneur" is a more accurate description but I'll get into that more below...

Hey!  My name is Chelsea and I am 24 years old.

@BrianTurner (legitimately one of my best friends even though we're on the opposite sides of the country...miss you Brian and @sammymarie!) has been on me for WEEKS about making an account and checking this out, and after a while it's become really clear that this is a big deal and seems to be here to stay.  With how spread out my interests are, I REALLY like the structure of this site and can't wait to post more...especially things beyond fitness like I've tailored my YouTube channel to focus on.

Hopefully you'll all get to know me better as time passes on, but I want to summarize my last 5 years on the internet as well as a bit about myself to kick things off.  I accidentally stumbled into fitness YouTube in 2012 while posting as I was finishing up my Ex Phys degree when the channel took off in the first year.  That growth has changed my life forever by allowing me to travel and see things that uncovered my passion for all things surrounding business.  I love starting projects and getting my hands into whatever I can to learn as much as possible and expand my skillset.

It began in 2014 when I launched my clothing company, RTB Apparel.  The support was massive and was the first thing that got me really hungry to see what else I could create that would serve people and create an awesome community.

Between 2014-2015, I did a lot of twitch live-streaming and built a decent following, which I continued until I was simply too busy to continue playing games and was already in the process of opening my first physical business.  To end my run on twitch, I did a 24 hour livestream that raised $5k for Save the Children as well as being involved in some other community charity events and donating about $1,500 to those.  Right after that event, I opened my gym, RTB Training and Performance.  I'm a certified strength and conditioning coach, so was involved in more than just owning and running the gym - I coached powerlifters, olympic weightlifters, and highschool and college athletes.

Fast forward to the end of 2016, I started dabbling in investment properties/flipping houses after learning as much as I possibly could.  I found a foreclosure, fixed it up, and am actually using it as a full workspace for the time being to finally separate work from home.  Right now, I'm printing all of my own apparel in house...literally! 

That brings us to current times: I've really become interested in cryptocurrency after realizing how crucial of a step blockchains are in technology moving forward.  As an ex-RuneScape nerd (played 550+ full days of gameplay between accounts since '05...anyone else!?!?) that got totally addicted to merching, I've become just as interested in flipping as the technology itself.

I've been doing some day and swing trading on GDAX without the huge barriers of entry that day trading stocks has and it feels like I'm "at home" again.. I truly loved what I did on RuneScape, and although I don't know why I loved it so much, I can say I'm currently experiencing the same type of euphoria trading - except now it is helping to pay my bills!  I know many people frown upon doing many things rather than becoming a master at one thing, but personally, I couldn't be happier.   Anyone else?

All of these things have melded together to create a life I'm so thankful for.  My clothing company started a snowball that still hasn't stopped, and allowed me to do and enjoy things I never thought I'd be able to.  I've gotten to enjoy travel, freedom to make my own schedule, and even gotten to dive into something I've always had interest in...cars!  I won't be posting about them much here because I know it can be off-putting to people who don't care, but here are my beasts: the BMW M6 and Lotus Evora S:

This is getting long so I'll wrap it up here - I had some anxiety writing this... why?  I'm not too sure. I guess it's just because I'm excited and really hope this platform grows the way I, and most of you, envision it could.

I'll be posting some of my videos that I think this community may enjoy, as well as getting involved in discussion in lots of things outside of fitness... particularly cryptos.  Community is everything and I'm going to make sure I'm a part of it.

If you have any questions for me, drop them below..I'd love to start a conversation!

See you all around! :)
