Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Building Brick by Brick with Torrey C Butler
[1:25] – Torrey shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- As an entrepreneur, pride limits opportunities. The first investment is in yourself.
[2:31] – Torrey shares his success story: from the military to becoming an award-winning author and founder of the Scribble app.
- He grew up with a single mom, which taught him the importance of making something out of himself. From a young age, he focused on having a purpose.
- He went to college and then joined the military for four years.
- In 2020, he published his first book, “Where do I go from here?”
- He learned that acting on ideas matters more than just having them.
- Despite lacking a business background, he researched extensively and launched Scribble in 2021, and has relaunched it in 2023.
[7:39] – Torrey shares his philosophy that the most essential investment for entrepreneurs is in themselves.
- He follows the philosophy of “building brick by brick”. This means taking things one step at a time.
- This approach is essential, especially today when young people are often drawn to instant success and quick riches.
- His team is guided by this philosophy, avoiding shortcuts and focusing on steady progress.

[13:30] – Torrey talks about how to stay focused on your goal
- Every project, business, or endeavor requires a strong foundation.
- People usually see the outcomes but not the struggles behind them.
- Focus on your goal and mission, and do not forget that if your purpose is helping others, you will never lose.
[15:36] – It is a minefield of noise out there; how can a beginner stand out?
- In everything he has learned, one is knowing your “why.” People do not purchase solely based on what you offer, but on the why behind it.
- To stand out from the sea of options, your intentions must be genuine and purposeful.
- Remember, you and your business depend on the support of people. It is not just about the what, but the why.
[17:17] – What do you do when you are ready to give up?
- It is a common experience – it is the norm in entrepreneurship. This journey is a process, not a quick solution.
- It is not about hitting a particular milestone and declaring victory, but about ongoing effort and persistence.
- Torrey is considering who he was 15, 20, or 25 years ago. That version of him would be proud of how far he has come.
[19:55] – Torrey’s key takeaway
- Keep going. Do not give up even when things seem harsh or like they are not going your way.
- Remember that the successful people who you admire also began somewhere. No one magically achieved their position overnight.
