Your biggest hurdle in life? Loss aversion. You’re wired to focus more on what you stand to lose than what you stand to gain. This is why becoming successful is so difficult. Achieving the outcomes you want is often more about what you’re willing to give up as opposed to what you’re willing to do. […]

Ah, the creative. You little neurotic creature you. I can hear the gears in your head turning right now my goodness.

I get so irritated with myself sometimes. Why? Because I wonder why I don’t execute on every single thing I want to do in life one hundred percent of the time without fail. I wonder why I should ever care what people think about me at all, ever. I get irritated because I’m acutely aware […]
