The story

Ever wonder why some people level up their lives while others stay stuck? After years of research for my book “The Journey,” I found the secret isn’t massive overnight changes.

It starts with shifting from “I am who I am” to “I can become better.” This mindset switch transforms everything – how you handle challenges, build resilience, and stay motivated.

Most people get it backward – waiting for motivation before acting. Real change comes from discipline: consistently doing what you say you’ll do. Start with just one small daily habit.

For meaningful progress, you need both a “NO list” [what to stop] and a “YES list” [what to prioritize]. Then only pursue opportunities that make you think “Hell yes!”

Your environment shapes you more than willpower. The people around you, information you consume, and spaces you occupy silently determine your growth. Design these intentionally.

When you mess up [and you will], practice self-compassion. Treating yourself kindly during setbacks actually increases motivation – beating yourself up doesn’t work.

These principles transformed my life and became the foundation of “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21.” What might change if you applied just one today?
