I want to share this article that I wrote for StartUp Mindset earlier this year. The article is written primarily for aspiring entrepreneurs but when I reread it, I realized that these tips could apply to just about anyone. Hope you enjoy! You’ve heard that it is important to learn how to invest in yourself. But what does that actually mean? The purpose of any investment is to yield an acceptable return. Building wealth, a business, or a healthy relationship all require an investment of some kind. So how can you invest in yourself so that you can improve your overall lifestyle? In...
Read MoreI recently visited my old job to see if some of my ex-coworkers were still working in the office. To my surprise, I saw that several of them were still working for the company. Many of them were happy and content with their job. However, many others spent time asking me about my business and how they can start their own. In fact, this has been happening more frequently with individuals that I meet that have a full-time job. This is probably due to the fact that entrepreneurship has increased so much over the years. More people are starting businesses from...

Read MoreI think it is safe to assume that you would like more time. To me, time is the most valuable asset in the world. Time is something that we all need but cannot create more of. Time with our families, time to grow our businesses, and time to do the things we love. But there are a lot of things that rob us of our time. In this article, I will show you how I used some productivity methods to double the amount of work I completed in a week while saving myself a ton of time. 5 Days of Work Done...
Read MoreIn life, we will all face problems. Some of the problems will be small and pesky, others will be giant and intimidating. I think we can all agree that no matter the size of the problem, we always want them gone. Throughout my years working for a financial institution, and now as an entrepreneur, one of my goals has always been to not let little problems stop me and to conquer my biggest problems quickly. I learned that not all problems can be eliminated swiftly. There are some issues that we face that can only improve over time. But it was...
Read MoreIt seems like most of the people who inhabit the earth today are happy with just getting by, getting through, and getting just enough. But you are not one of those people. You may not be happy with accomplishing less than you are capable of. Perhaps you want more and want to exceed your potential. If "good enough" is your goal, this post is not for you. There have been times in my life when I have achieved my goals and there have been many other times when I've overachieved my goals. The feeling of overachieving (and the steps to doing...
Read MoreI can remember when I first decided to write The Quick Confidence Guide. It was about 5 years ago and Potential 2 Success was a few years old and was getting tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world. For some reason, my email box began to fill with questions from readers asking about how to increase their confidence. The questions were not the ordinary inquiries that I was used to. The readers sending the emails seemed to have specific questions about how to build confidence in a particular area of their life. When I realized this, I decided...
Read MoreThe desire to improve oneself is something I think we all have. But for some reason, many people struggle to become the person they've always wanted to be. Change can take time and that may be the reason so many people cannot seem to reach the goals they set or accomplish the things they desire. Although I do agree that change does take time, I also believe that there are things that can be done to move you in the right direction at a faster pace. Those things are often never easy which is why most people do not do them....
Read MoreI did recently. If you've been following this blog for a while, you know that I've been working in the financial industry while running my businesses part-time. But earlier this year, I decided to take the leap and become a full-time entrepreneur. The Growing Feeling A few months before I left my career, I began to have a funny feeling that I would not be at the job for long-which was crazy. It was crazy because the job that I was able to land was a dream job for me. I had the opportunity to work with several different teams, learn under a...
Read MoreIs it because I'm poor? Is it because I hate money? Is it because I use the bartering system? None of the above. Although, a bartering system does sound pretty cool. If you've been reading my blog for some time, you've seen that I've written about a lot of things related to personal development. Some of the most popular being about developing mental toughness, waking up at 3 am, improving communication, etc. But one topic that seems to be absent is an article about money. Have you ever wondered why? Well, it wasn't by choice. The Forbidden Topic: Why I Was Not Allowed to...
