Up ’til now I have tried my best to encourage you to take some baby steps toward pursuing your dream. I’ve allowed you to examine my life in a rather voyeuristic manner as I share story after story of my mistakes and failures. I’m pretty open about my struggles when asked, and sometimes even when …

Over the last few weeks, I’ve mainly focused on our own internal struggles and insecurities that keep us from taking the necessary steps to better our situation. Our past failures, fear, and overall self-doubt make up just some of the voices that swirl around inside our head and keep our feet nailed to the floor. These voices must be silenced …

I should’ve known that when I decided to discuss the topic of procrastination, that I would do just that – procrastinate. When I sat down to write the copy for this video, I found myself finding every excuse not to do it. I also struggled to focus on what I wanted to say. And that’s …

By now you probably know that I didn’t go to college. The older I get the more I realize that that may not be such a bad thing. And here’s why… If I were to ask you to think of a friend or family member who went to college, started and finished with the same major, …

As humans, we often live in a perpetual state of fear. Unfortunately, we allow this fear to cripple us rather than motivate us. The most essential thing you need to do today is overcome the very thing that is keeping you from doing what you were born to do.

“I would have it inscribed on the curtains of your bed and the walls of your chamber: ‘If you do not rise early you can make progress in nothing.’” ~William Pitt Chatham “I never knew a man come to greatness or eminence who lay abed late in the morning.”~ Johnathan Swift

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”— Helen Keller “One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, …

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”― Mark Twain
