It's possible to be okay (even happy) with who you are... and still want to improve yourself. Life is usually not an either/or. A lot of times... It's both. Not everyone is okay with that.

Handle customer complaints with grace. Maybe it’s not your fault. Maybe they misunderstood. Maybe the post office messed up. Or maybe they’re just having a bad day. The kinder you are in the face of frustration, the easier it is... for both of you. I’ve seen our angriest

I used to think strict spending limits... Meant I was missing out. I learned the hard way: Letting debt grow meant missing out on more. I stopped focusing on what I couldn’t buy. I started thinking about what I could build. Paying off debt gave me leverage. Those “treat

What most business "influencers" won't tell you... You know... That influencer who 'made' $30k last month? Did they forget to mention they spent $29,500? Or worse… $32,000? To 'make' that $30K. Always remember: Revenue tells a story. ↳ Expenses tell the truth. You’ll

Not every gut feeling is truth. Sometimes it’s old wounds. Sometimes it’s fear. But sometimes... It’s wisdom. Things your body knows, before your brain does. But how do you know which it is? Pause. Play it forward. Sit with it. Turn it over. Inspect it. Pray about it. Or

One of my first bosses had a rule: You couldn’t bring up a problem unless you also brought a possible solution. It didn’t have to be the solution. Just a solution. Because the real point was this: It shifted your mindset from critic to contributor.

I work from home. Some days, I love the flexibility. Other days, I’m reminded that constraint has its perks too. What I do appreciate? → Structure when I need it → Flexibility when I don’t Here’s how it shook out yesterday: (It wasn’t glamorous, but it was productive) →

Trying to come up with the perfect business plan? Good luck with that. Here’s how we built a 7-figure business on Amazon: Step 1. Sell my wife’s old therapy books. Step 2. Sell yard sale finds. Step 3. Try retail arbitrage—flipping store clearance. Step 4. Sell grocery

This one shift could change how people feel around you. ↓ Take a leadership role. Not control. Not reactivity. It means showing up with a certain presence. You don’t react from triggered emotion. You do this instead ↓ You respond with your values in mind. And the outcome

The 80s and 90s loved a good public service announcement commercial. "This is your brain on drugs," he says, as he cracks an egg into a sizzling pan. Lately, I think we need a new version: "This is your brain on distraction." Still frying. Just more under the radar now.

'Growth at all costs' they say. Just grow bigger... it will all work out. Maybe that worked for them (though I have my doubts), but it's definitely not business advice I would give to a close friend or someone whose success I cared about. Don’t let your business grow so fast

There’s a sweet spot in business: Yes, you can earn more than in most jobs. But if your strategy starts with: “I just want to make millions!” You’re not building. You’re gambling. Aim for a smart build, not a lucky break.

How do you make more money starting a business than you do at your 9-5? It's probably not what you think. Does it mean your 4-, 5-, or 6-figure business needs to become a 7-figure one? Definitely not. And it’s not because money doesn’t matter. Money does matter. It pays
