What techniques and methods do you use day to day to stay continuously motivated, focused and proactive when fear, hardships, and procrastination have the best of you?

I always write down and read out loud (with passion and conviction) who I want to be as if I already am. Meaning I design my ideal self and step into being that person immediately.

What is your backstory?

I was a depressed janitor who could barely talk to people. The internal battle I had to go through to become a powerful motivational speaker was extreme, but worth every bit of effort I put in.

Having worked with some incredible entrepreneurs, initially as a high-performance coach, I started learning more and more about marketing and sales. These skills have become essential when helping business owners create rapid growth in their companies.

What is your definition of success?

Feeling fulfilled and happy on a daily basis. Having the freedom to do whatever you like.
