You ever hear the expression, ignorance is bliss?  I use to live by this statement.  The whole idea of not knowing any better, taking action, and moving forward appealed to me.  I didn’t know what I didn’t know.  I liked that.  So much so that I fully embraced this idea and way of thinking to […]

I was going through some boxes recently and found two of my grade school report cards.  One from 6th grade and the other from 7th.  I thought, how cool.  That is until I opened them up and read all the wonderful positive (sarcasm) comments about my weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.  The kind of stuff that

Past failures have definitely set me back. Not from the failure itself, that’s been a learning opportunity. More so from my inability to move on from the failures.  You ever fail at something and then feel like you just can’t seem to get over it?  Where you constantly stew on it?  It could be a

This might sound crazy but I wish when we were born, we were all given a clock that shows us how much time we have left to live. Our very own life expectancy clock counting down the years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds we have left to live. Morbid, I know. I can’t help

You ever been asked the question… “What would you attempt if you knew you would not fail?”  Either someone asking it of you or suggesting you ask it of yourself?  I understand the premise of the question too and why it’s suggested we ask ourselves this.  So that we can identify what we really want

Whenever I reflect back on the successes I’ve had, whether in fitness, business, school, finances, or life in general… It’s apparent to me that it’s been my tenacity that’s helped me be successful. I don’t believe I’ve succeeded in any of these areas because of natural innate talent, and that’s not to put myself down

Whoever said cheaters never win was very wrong, they always win. How they win or prefer to win however, that’s an entirely different question and one that only we can answer for ourselves. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve cheated at certain times in my life because that’s life. You live, you learn, you

I recently got the opportunity to go on The American Dream TV show here in San Diego. During the 6 minute interview, I emphasized the importance of taking care of ourselves first. Entrepreneurs are notorious for prioritizing everything and everyone else first and putting themselves, their health, and well-being last on their priority list. When asked,
