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...

Why Your Beliefs Is Critical To Your Result

Few weeks ago, I attended an interesting webinar on the psychology of success. It was great, and I took a lot of notes. There was this female facilitator on the program who shared how, every time she was after a goal, she seemed to just give up when she was close to success. She was very ambitious and educated, but every time she was about to succeed, she dropped her efforts. In the course of speaking, she revealed that she grew up in a small, remote village in Africa, where the only women who had money and status were PROSTITUTES. So, she developed the belief that, if she became successful, people would think she's a prostitute. It was totally irrational, and she knew it. But the belief was so strong and ingrained in her subconscious mind that she kept sabotaging herself. A belief can destroy or build your life. I met students on campus who had EVERYTHING to excel in their fields of study, but always found a way to dread pushing themselves... It's...

The Common Sense Perspective Of Business, Time And Money

When it comes to understanding business, time and money, you need common sense as much as you need business education. There are generally 4 types of people in the world: (1) No time, and no money. Most employees fall into this category. You can't go shopping on a Tuesday afternoon or fire your boss whenever you like. Most employees can't even save money for retirement and they still have no time to maximize their youth. What a terrible category to be in! (2) No time, lots of money. Self-employed, professionals and small business owners are in this category. They are slightly better off than the employee because they earn more, but they have to work even harder than employees to keep up with the diminishing profit margins, competition and servicing their customers. (3) Got time, no money. A lot of farmers, villagers, college dropouts, young graduates or bums have lots of time but no money. Maybe ignorance is bliss, but without a stable source of income,...
