Knowing who to trust is key for not only business success, but personal success, as well. What I use in order to make the determination on which people to believe (and invest in) is a two-step process that I call trust and vet. Distrusting everyone is no way to approach life and the same can be said about blindly trusting everyone, but I prefer to take a more positive perspective to start. Give people the benefit of doubt when you initially interact, rather than taking a skeptic approach to thos...

Perform a self-evaluation. Think about how much time per day you are committed to the pursuit of your potential. Are you consistent? Are you persistent? Do you need to improve in these areas?

That focus yields exponential growth and results. You need to do something every day in order to be great at it. Meditate, us...

Even people who are generous will trade rather than give—they’ll give, but they will always expect something in return. The world I’m trying to manifest is a world of “more than enough,” where people are living in truth and consciousness. I have five different rules for businesses ...

When it comes to monetizing, we have this philanthropic type of attitude towards entrepreneurship: we’re doing it for the greater good, we have a passion project, we’re in love with our product…etc But the truth is, your product, service, or idea does no good for anyone if you can’t monetize it. Your business needs to make money in order to survive.

They will always laugh at you, make fun of you, and scoff at you. before they applaud you. Why? They don’t know the seeds you’re planting. They don’t know your true potential. YOU have the best connection to that. When we work hard, smart, patiently, and don’t quit, it’s only a matter of time before we get there.

How important is it to “Cancel” negative thoughts? Scientists say we have between 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts in a day, and our mind takes the negative approach to things 70% of the time. Globally speaking, since we must use our free will to connect to source or goodness, your mind, naturally, thinks about what you don’t have, what you can’t do. Not to get too scientific and I am in no way a biology expert, but I learned that the amygdala in the brain modulates the release of cortisol and other st...

When people used to ask me the difference between a trainer, coach, and a mentor, I used to joke that the difference was the prices and the certifications. Now, I define what it means to be an effective trainer, coach, and mentor differently. I define a (good) coach as someone who is able to bring the best out of you (and those around you). A trainer also wants to bring the best out of you, but they typically have a narrower area of focus and often work one-on-one. A mentor is someone who gives ...

Our perspective is our reality. How you choose to shape your reality is up to you. Taking the trash out is either a chore or an opportunity to spend time thinking about what you want that will make you happy.
