Common Sense Game Plan For Alchemizing Your Life

The world is changing rapidly, and there are plenty of opportunities for people like you, craving for meaning and engagement.
The key is to keep learning new skills and becoming your best self.

A few years ago, I made a commitment to myself, and it changed my life. My commitment was that I won't go anywhere on my own without reading a book or listening to an audio program.
So I invested in what I call the greatest university on earth: An iPod.

I started with an iPod before upgrading to a Smartphone that even makes life a little smarter. I load these mobile devices with motivational eBooks, business, and discipleship training materials, and also podcasts and interviews with experts.

I don’t go anywhere without reading or listening to something that either uplifts my soul or enhances my skills.
I learned negotiation, to inspire confidence in people, manage my emotions, start a business, and many other skills, just using my mobile devices.

There's something magical about reading books, listening to tapes and podcasts on the go. It's like nutrients for the brain. It literally transforms you.

You start taking new actions, having new ideas, and changing your behaviours without realizing it.
I don't drive yet, but if you do, use the stereo in the car to listen to educational and motivational tapes, too.
Whatever you feed your mind, you become.
Formal education is good, but if you want to become great, you need informal education.

Have an amazing day!

KILLER OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY Imagine it's 1976 and you're outside, going for a walk in your neighbourhood. As you walk, you pass the neighbour's house whose garage is open... Inside, they're tinkering with computers - and you greet them... "Hey Steve!" -  you say... and behind them is a handwritten sign that reads "Apple Computers"... Knowing what you do now, would you walk past them - or instead try to get involved with their company? Cryptocurrency is a similar story. Once "just a fad" - the cryptocurrency industry currently sits at a market cap of over 1 trillion dollars! ...and today, over 300 million people own crypto. Over the next few years, I'd guess that billions will own crypto - and it is still very much in its infancy. So, after hearing that story about Apple, do you... A) Walk past this enormous opportunity (and perhaps regret it later)... OR... B) Get involved now - before it's too late...? Listen... if you don...

Stop Giving Excuses For Your Inertia

YOU must quiet the voice inside your head that offers excuses for not taking action and becoming the best that you can be. You must eliminate the thinking that you aren't "good on the microphone", or that you can't "be a great writer", or that you are "too busy to work on your potentials and reach for the stars". For any excuse you might try to offer, all that I can say is: Stop deceiving yourself. Stop talking about all the big dreams you have if you are NOT going to take responsibility for making those dreams come true. Stop encouraging your family and friends to change their lives if you're not going to make big changes in your own. Stop talking and start doing. Begin by doing the right thing – the hard thing – and get out of your own comfort zone and advance in life. When you do, people will notice. People will be inspired. People will follow you. It's not easy to inconvenience yourself in a bit to step up. It...
