Your goals can be achieved faster with a bit of patience and mindset shift.
One of the key strategies to sticking with a goal is to be training your mind to fall in love with the journey rather than the end result. While that’s a good piece of advice, that simple mindset shift can cause a problem.
What if during your journey, your progress stops suddenly. Or maybe you are so close to achieving your goal you need something to work out for you.
The excitement of achieving a goal — whether it’s big or small — can be overwhelming in those moments and during those times we can get impatient. …
One in five side hustles fail in their first year and half of those make it past year five. Here is how to make it past year five.
One of my entrepreneur friends is the type of guy to come up with all kinds of ideas. He enjoys sending me bits of information on all kinds of different topics and on occasion, we talk about business, what we’ve been up to, and other thoughts that cross through our minds.
Recently, the topic of banding together to form a business emerged and it’s an idea that I’d certainly entertain at some point. After a time where our core businesses have become profitable enough we don’t need to rely on government programs to stay afloat.
No talent is necessary to master these skills.
Skills. Everyone has them and they all take us to widely different places depending on how good or bad we are at them.
But out of the thousands of possible skills available to people, these are some of them that demand immediate respect from the people that can pull these off well. Learn how to use these skills effectively and you can earn the respect of anyone over time.
Best of all, they don’t require much skill to master them.

My dad is a master at this skill and it bugs him a lot when people don’t show up on…
This pandemic has been traumatic for all of us. We simply don’t realize it yet
Even though COVID itself has impacted a small percentage of the world population, the subsequent restrictions that countries have placed on the people has been massive. While these things are designed to keep us safe and protected from an infectious disease, COVID hasn’t really been the biggest threat throughout this pandemic.
Yes, COVID has revealed a lot about our systems, our health, and more. However, the true battle in all this is our own selves. Our own mentality.
For example, you can see the vaccine rollout as an amazing relief at long last. However you can also see it as…
Coinbase is going places.
Wednesday, April 14th marked a historic event in the cryptocurrency world. Coinbase — a cryptocurrency exchange — became the first of its kind to become a publicly traded company.
The decision came at an opportune time as the valuation of Coinbase jumped from $1.6 billion to $90 billion in the span of 4 years. The timing of it going public is huge since it’s also around the time where many other large businesses are diving into cryptocurrency at the time.
While I’m still apprehensive about the idea of people investing in Bitcoin in particular, I’m not against the idea of…
You need a better direction in your life.
The more you get older, the more tempting it is to ask a certain question:
If you could go back and change a decision you’ve made what would it be?
We’ve made thousands of mistakes in the span of a year let alone a decade. Some of them are minor things while others could’ve altered our very way of life.
To go back in time with the knowledge and experience that we have now, it’s obvious that we’d wish for an opportunity like this to emerge. Or to spend time thinking about the possibility.
As comforting of a question that…
The journey is a long road, but it’s filled with glorious memories and moments.
We go on weight loss journeys all the time. For some it’s something that happens every year with new years resolutions. Others, it’s something we decide out of nowhere.
The degrees of commitment vary from person to person, hinging the most on where we are in life health-wise. But over time, the more you keep working away at this goal, the more that the following quotes are relatable to you.
The first time I started to care about my health somewhat was when I was 13. Back then, I wasn’t overly committed to working out or exercising or dieting. …
Progress is the big and the small things that make us move.
One of the things I’m grateful for of my weight loss journey is that every day I get to notice something different and good about myself. It’s gotten me to look at some other aspects of myself that are growing beyond the number that’s been on the scale.
It’s something that I’ve been doing a lot lately considering the fact that my weight hasn’t been changing all that much despite higher levels of protein and calories.
I know for myself that I’ll need to be making more changes to my health if I’m looking to be losing more weight. …
Persistence comes at a price.
In the self-improvement world, we are big on persistence. If things aren’t working out, you just need to work the system. Keep trying out new things. Experiment.
Eventually, you’re going to find your groove, build that business or audience or whatever you need to succeed.
We point to all kinds of brilliant people who have persisted through grim circumstances.
Steve Jobs.
Oprah Winfrey.
JK Rowling.
Thomas Edison.
Albert Einstein.
We rally around these figures and get inspired by these individuals to persist through our own problems. And that’s a good thing.
But what if — for a moment — we…
But it is afterwards if you do this…
One of my high school classmates is a Medium. She isn’t the type that you’d see on television “communicating” with the dead or anything like that. Her predictions are tame too— such as predicting when we’re going to be hitting specific zones in the pandemic.
But one thing she posted recently was something about the slight disconnect that people seem to have with manifesting things in their life.
Self-improvement gurus are quick to be telling us that we can attract the life that we want to lead. …
