Why You Are Only Surviving and Not Thriving
This morning my mom (47 years old) asked me if I thought I was better than her. Flabbergasted, and a little bit offended, I asked her why. According to her, I just think I'm better than her because I live in a 2,500 sqft home, I have my own business, my fiance makes a great amount of money (45k+/yr), and we have our puppy and our son to go along with us, yet we aren't struggling one bit. To which I responded, "No??? Why would I think I'm better than you??? You're my mom. If I actually thought that, that would make me a pretty bratty kid" (I used other words, but we can't curse here so 😂).

Do You Have a 3-Year Plan?
A few weeks ago, I wrote a reminder to check your long-term goals, and to gauge whether they need changing, be it big or small. But one thing I failed to recognize at that moment was how people define long-term goals and long-term plans.

Dyslexia and Wealth Are Linked
It seems I am in good company! Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell Walt Disney—each of these game-changers were dyslexics. In fact, 40 percent of the world’s self-made millionaires have dyslexia.

The Will Smith Method
I once heard the quote that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. This quote has been with me for years and, as I have carried it, it has taken me far. I watched an interview with Will Smith that was very motivational. He mentioned that he was not particularly talented or blessed with amazing abilities. He saw himself as a regular person. The one thing that stood out from the rest of the people in the industry was sickening work ethic. He stated that he was not afraid to die on a treadmill. It didn't matter how fast, strong, or gifted you were. If you were on a treadmill next to Will Smith, one of two things would happen. You were going to get off first or he would have to die.

You Are the Most Important Aspect of Your Life!
They say that you must help others in order to become a better person. Well, I personally think that is as far from the truth as you could possibly get. No one knows your mind, body, or spirit like you do. Do not let someone else fool you into believing that you are not the most important aspect of your life. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that you should ignore loved ones, or let someone die in front of you if you have the means to save them. What I am saying is that life still goes on around you whether or not you act “selfish” or “selfless.”

The Don Draper Success Plan
Don Draper of Mad Men is one of the most memorable characters to fill television screens in a long time. He's been the subject of plenty of essays about American masculinity and the culture of the 1960s. Mad Men has even inspired a college course.

How to Get Out of Bed
Waking up in the morning, the day can loom ahead of you like Mount Everest. More often than not, my mornings have begun with the, sometimes unbearable, weight of knowledge that once I climb out of bed, I don’t get to rest again until I’m over the top of that bloody mountain!

The Heart of an Artist
What occurs at that point in this hypothetical artist’s life is a kind of silence—the first thing he finds out is that for reasons he cannot explain to himself or to others, he does not belong anywhere. Maybe you’re on the football team, maybe you’re a runner, maybe you belong to a church, you certainly belong to a family; and abruptly, in other people’s eyes—this is very important—you begin to discover that you are moving and you can’t stop this movement to what looks like the edge of the world.

Slowing down to Speed Up
Have there been days when you felt like you were always in a rush? Always hustling but never actually getting anywhere? Doing things over and over again without feeling like you were making progress?
