I feel like that when I think back to my 20s. I want to say that I thought I knew everything there was to know about life, but honestly, I think I was aware that I knew nothing about life. That’s what inspired me.

When I was in my 20s, I had a burning desire to learn more about life. I grew up in a small city with a population of around 250,000 people, at the time, and I desperately wanted to get out of that city to see what the world had to offer. 

I wanted to experience another way of life, and not just be limited to what I knew growing up, so I decided to leave. I moved to another city. That’s pretty commendable, and I’m proud of that, but here’s the stupid part. I was flat ass broke when I moved.

I had found a job prior to moving, but on the day that I was to leave my hometown, I had...

They say that complacency is the root of mediocrity. 

There are plenty of reasons we can become complacent. It could be that we are afraid to push ourselves beyond the limits of our comfort zones, or that we have allowed life to get in the way of taking risks, or it could be that we have found ourselves in a happy place that we don’t want to disturb.

In the case of happiness, I can’t argue with that. Happiness and peace are what we all seek in life, and if you’ve found that and gotten comfortable, that’s great. Complacency in the midst of unhappiness though is another story. 

Allowing yourself to get comfortable with feelings of discomfort and displeasure in life are exactly the opposite of what you should be doing if you want to live your best life. Complacency, in these situations, should frighten you.

When you find yourself getting complacent and feeling like you are not functioning at your highest frequency, it’s important that...

Would you rather be an entrepreneur, doing what you love but not making much money or would you rather work for someone doing something you hate but making a lot of money?

I asked this question on Instagram today.

Pretty much everyone who responded said that they would rather be an entrepreneur. The money doesn’t really matter when it comes to peace and the freedom of being your own boss.

So what are people to do when they want to be entrepreneurs but happen to really hate what they do for a living? First of all, I can definitely relate to feeling like this. Working a job you hate can cause you to feel depressed, stressed, and a shitty mess—no matter how much it pays. 

Let’s look at how that job you hate is really affecting your life, and again, I have first hand experience with this topic.

You’re probably not giving the job your all. You probably go to work and half ass it just enough to keep getting a paycheck. Your password to everything at...

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with having to make decisions about something that you just freeze and do nothing? Entrepreneurship can be exactly like that at times. There’s always so much work to do for your business that it can become overwhelming. 

According to Psychology Today, it’s thought that the average person makes around 35,000 decisions per day. That’s a whole hell of a lot of decision making, and it’s easy to see why we tend to put off some of those tough decisions we have to make for our businesses until later—and oftentimes, later never comes. 

If you’re into fitness like I am, you probably meal prep. The reason meal prepping is so effective, for people who want to eat healthy, is because it takes the thought out of every meal. Your meals are planned, so you don’t have to think about it and open yourself up to being overwhelmed and making poor decisions— which, of course, leads to failure.

I know...

The one thing about goal setting that we have to keep in mind is that it’s a means to an end. The actual goal is not the point. The outcome is. 

This is why it’s so important to wrap your brain around the fact that failing is not a bad thing. If you had to walk to the bank to pick up a check for $100MIL, and you tripped and fell on the way there, you wouldn’t decide that you no longer wanted to go pick up that check just because you fell. You would get your ass up, dust yourself off and keep walking—even if you had to drag one of your legs. You might even just pull out your phone and call an Uber to pick you up and take you to...

When you have a great idea for a business, you usually feel an undeniable sense of urgency to get started right away. You feel like you need to hurry up and make your idea a reality before someone beats you to it. 

But somewhere deep down among the layers of emotion that you have once you start planning your business, is this ugly creature called Doubt. Doubt can rear its ugly head at the most inopportune times and completely kill all the momentum that your sense of urgency gave you. 

That doubt leads to fear and that fear causes you to procrastinate. You put off going balls to the wall with your idea because you don’t have the right laptop, or you need a new camera, or your ink pens don’t write right, or any other silly excuse you can make. 

Why does it feel like I’m talking directly to you? Because I am!

I’ve been there. I’ve made up all sorts of excuses for why I wasn’t ready to...
