Coby Gorsin isn’t just crafting a life for himself. He’s helping others create their own as well.

The American teen guides people to develop a proper mindset through his Create Your Existence business. Coby, 19, said the key is spurring people to act.

“I tell people you can watch my videos all day,” he said. “You can be motivated all you want, but nothing matters until you take action.”

Coby’s work includes posting social media content, providing one-on-one mentoring and having an online community.

“I’m not a get rich quick guru,” he said. “I don’t teach people how to make money. I don’t have all this money and fancy cars, but I have the mindset. There is no such thing as get rich quick. You have to put in the work. You have to put in the effort. You have to have discipline.”

Coby, a Texas native, employs a detailed process.

“The whole point of this is to find your purpose, so we start off developing a vision,” he said. “What is it you really want in life and then go from there. From that state of clarity, we then develop your purpose. What are you good at? What do you need? What do you enjoy and what can you monetize?”

Coby said the next step is not allow trepidation to halt progress.

“Now you know what you want and you know what you are capable of doing, so then we go into things such as overcoming fear of judgment, and develop self-confidence and better personal relationships,” he said. “Then, after we go through all that, we can delve into how you start your own business.”

Coby explained budding entrepreneurs shouldn’t select a business that doesn’t deliver self-satisfaction.

“You never should start a business for the sake of money because there’s no passion,” he said. “There’s no heart for the business you really do.”

Coby has amassed a large group of people in an online community under his Create Your Legacy.

“It’s a community full of like-minded individuals wanting to become the best version of themselves,” he said. “There’s an amazing community full of amazing people I’ve really helped and they’re also helping me as well. It’s not me barking at people all the time.”

Coby’s services aren’t restricted to one group.

“I help people of all ages,” he said.

Coby said now is the perfect time to pursue a passion.

“There has never been this much opportunity to become successful as nowadays,” he said. “The opportunity to do anything you want, especially at a young age, no generation has ever had this opportunity. If I want to learn to do something, I can just look it up and I have that for free. Generations before me, they had to pay. They actually had to go to a place to learn information. They had to speak to certain people.”

Coby said there’s no excuse for anyone to not succeed under such conditions.

“I’m learning everything on my own, whether its making a website or filming things on social media,” he said. “Looking at what other people are doing, I’m like I can do that on my own. I can do it myself in my own way. You learn from trial and error. It’s okay to fail and make mistakes. You learn from those.”

Coby has a clothing brand and builds website along with photography and video editing.

The young entrepreneur said he’s been preparing for this time.

“I’ve been pretty much developing this mindset my entire life,” he said. “It’s not something that happens overnight. You don’t just wake up and are instantly always happy 24/7.”

Reaching adulthood was the impetus for Coby to act on that mindset.

“The night I turned 18 years old was the night I created Create Your Existence,” he said. “I was lying in bed and thinking I have two options now. I can either waste my time consuming content on social media all day that’s not benefiting me or do the things I want to do and follow my passion, create a life I want to live.”

Coby said his youth is an advantage.

“The average person would be like how do you know anything, you’re just 19 years old. You don’t have the experience,” he said. “But I feel like being only 19, I do have the experience. I am living on my own.”

Coby anticipates a bright future lies ahead.

“I’m blessed to be where I’m at,” he said. “Imagine how far I’m going to go if I keep this up. Anytime I want something, I’ve been able to obtain it.”

Coby credits one attribute to his accomplishments.

“My energy is my greatest strength,” he said. “Nobody can outwork me. I don’t drink any coffee, no energy drinks, no caffeine. All of my energy is 100 percent natural.”

Coby also avoids over medication.

“I don’t want to become reliant on something outside my body,” he said.

Among Coby’s goals is to visit other countries.

“I definitely want to travel the world,” he said.

Coby wants to learn the perspectives of people across the globe.

“I always like to get other’s people point of views,” he said.

Coby competed in football, soccer and track in high school, where he graduated a year early.

“I work out basically every single day,” Coby said.

He’s into running and boxing now.

“I like the discipline and hard work that it takes with boxing,” Coby said. “I’ve never been in an actual boxing fight before, but I would instantly take the opportunity.”

He wants to not only compete in the ring, but promote the fights as well.

Coby dispensed advice to those wishing to start businesses.

“You got to be consistent,” he said.

Coby stressed the value of delayed gratification over instant gratification.

“Go all in and don’t look back,” he said. “Just focus and have fun with it as well. Even when things don’t go as planned, learn from it.”
