In a world of constant distraction, the ability to focus on one thing at a time is a superpower.

Many people want the money and freedom that comes with entrepreneurship, but not the struggle, confusion or outright desperation at times. You’ve gotta earn it.

“Letting go” is not the same thing as “giving up.” One comes from a place of strength. The other, from a place of fear. Choose wisely.

Just because you’re scared doesn’t mean you can’t be brave. All warriors feel fear.

Popularity is not a business strategy. It’s a tactic at best. And it can fade, quickly.

Being a beginner is one of the most powerful positions you can find yourself in. Ignorance + the willingness to change and adapt almost always leads to positive growth.

Here’s a daily affirmation for you: “I’m grateful to the Universe for giving me the opportunity to provide for myself and my family through my effort.”

When it’s easy, don’t take it for granted. When it’s hard, don’t take it personally

If it’s not adding, it’s subtracting.

Protect your energy and your time. That’s where everything else flows from.

The school system has conditioned us to think that there are very narrow limits for what’s possible. Once you realize there are no limits, the real game begins.

Successful people still get scared. We still procrastinate and mess things up. You don’t have to be perfect to live an incredible life.

You can binge an entire series on Netflix this weekend and still be successful. Just so you know.

Jealousy is when you overestimate others and underestimate yourself.

Most of the fears or anxieties you have about your life are things you already know the answers to within yourself, but are afraid to acknowledge because admitting that you already have the answers means you may need to change.

I used to think that strength was how many things you could say “yes” to and do at the same time.

Now, I see that true strength is how many things you can say “no” to — while maintaining your long term vision and not missing out on the crucial opportunities in front of you.

If you’re a married businessman and your marriage isn’t the most important asset in your life…you’re doing it wrong, my dude.

Failure isn't final, but regret is.

Take the initiative to study the basics of psychology. Most of us go our entire lives without having any idea how the mind or body operate. We act like employees who work at a restaurant, but have no idea how the food is made.

Pay attention to your daydreams. Similar to the visions you have at night, your active imagination will provide you with information you can use. The things you find yourself dwelling upon often hold a clue to the areas of your life that go unexplored.

I often find that journaling is a useful tool to reflect upon and integrate what you learn at your own pace. Take all the time you need to learn about yourself. You cannot force a seed to grow by shouting at it.
