You feel like you’re far away from the amazing outcomes you want in your life. You do have the desire to achieve major goals and dreams, but how is desire going to carry you through from the start to finish when the length of the race just seems so long? The crazy thing? In retrospect, […]

Here is the self-help guru everyone hates. He’s a white man, 6 foot 3, and good looking. He has a high IQ, comes from an upper-middle-class family, and graduated from an elite university. After writing one article, he goes viral, and builds an entire career from a random moment of success, telling you how you […]

There’s such a wide-open space of careers that you can pretty much do anything you want with your life. But you won’t have the career you want if you make the same mistake I see people make over and over again. And it doesn’t matter what you do. I’ve seen passionate people and people who […]

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but having the right amount of money and earning it the right way can give you the next best thing to ‘happiness’ – peace of mind. Money has whatever context you give to it. People talk about money as if it has an opinion or as if it’s some sentient entity. It’s […]

“I want to punch you.” I’ve received this comment more than a handful of times about my articles. Some people have told me they’re scared to read them. They’ll say something along the lines of, “Your article pissed me off, but you’re right.” I could make a lot more money selling you dreams and telling […]

Short answer – You don’t, but you can have the next best thing. This idea that there’s this perma-motivated self-help guru who wakes up every day at 5 a.m, works out, meditates, feeds the homeless, then goes to complete a 14-hour workday on his seven-figure side business, just isn’t true.
