Nobody likes starting over. At least, I don’t know anyone who does. But sometimes life forces you to reboot, whether you want to or not. (more…)

How to Make a Stand to Change the World.

One of my favourite things to do is dream up all the ways I could make a difference in the world. Of course, there are countless ways to do it, and it’s easy to just get lost in my thoughts if I let myself; I could spend days just sitting and thinking if I wanted to – probably even weeks or years.

The real trick, I think, is finding something that can change the world and actually feels doable – something that doesn’t require you to do something impossible to actually succeed. (more…)

Recently a good friend shared a picture with me and wow the flood of memories began. This reminded me to have tremendous respect and admiration for the people who are authentic, people who happily acknowledge their family and cultural roots, and who never forget where they come from. (more…)

I love a cocktail myself, but it doesn’t love me back.

A cocktail may relax me for the time being, but the next day, I always feel confused, anxious and like I am contemplating and critiquing all of my life decisions. My buddy recently told me that he refers to this feeling as the “Sunday Scaries…” the impending doom you feel after a Saturday night of boozing. (more…)

A lot of people are good at what they do. Some are even elite. A select few are completely unstoppable.

Those who are unstoppable are in their own world. They don’t compete with anyone but themselves. You never know what they will do — only that you will be forced to respond. Even though they don’t compete with you, they make you compete with them.

Are you unstoppable? By the end of this blog you will be.

Picture yourself standing in the middle of a crowded area. You’re in the heat of competition in front of 100,000 screaming people, and at least half of them aren’t cheering for you. Some of that 50 percent even hate you. They don’t just hate you, they are letting you know why and precisely how much they despise you. Maybe even with disgusting comments about you or your family.

The most important decision I have ever made was to resist playing the victim. Blaming where I was in life on this or that. (more…)

Want to know the difference between the people who started the companies in the photo and you? NOTHING.

It’s not luck and it’s not resources. It’s following the fundamental rules of success. I had the same formula for success 4 years ago working out of a spare room as I do today. (more…)

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They don’t see the distractions around them, because they are too busy honing in on the goals they set before them. (more…)

It’s sad to me that many people don’t have the courage or the drive to follow their heart. Often people have dreams and goals in life but they’ve already subconsciously made up their minds that these dreams and goals are not obtainable. They become content with just going through the motions in life because they believe that “this” is what life has offered them. “This” is the hand that they were dealt. “This” is their life so they better get comfortable and just get used to it. Often times, They live each day wondering about the “could of, should of, would of’s” but don’t do anything about it. (more…)
