Finding experts, mentors and coaches has been a vital part of my success.  I initially started through reading books, eventually attending seminars, and then working with mentors one-on-one.  Everything that I know and teach today has been the result of what I’ve learned from someone else.  Through finding expert advice and working with the guru’s, I’ve been able to fast-track my success and results.

I was recently asked by a follower of PLM about how to find expert advice and mentors.  In the world of the internet, it’s easier than ever to connect and reach out to almost everyone out there.  There’s dozens of experts and guru’s in every field, but how do you know if they’re credible?  How do you find them and reach out to these people?  Check out the video blog below to find out.

How To Find A Expert, Mentor Or Guru

With the internet it can be extremely easy to find a expert, mentor or guru on a specific topic.  You can not only easily find them, but you can also reach out to them and communicate with ease.  There are now resources such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn that make almost everyone accessible.  Almost every expert or guru has their own blog or website, either advertising their services or themselves.  In my opinion, communicating with these people is as simple as taking the step to do so!

Using Social Media

Whenever I read a book or attend a seminar, I always make an effort to reach out to the author or speaker.  I enjoy looking these people up online and either liking their Facebook page, adding them as a friend, following them on Twitter, or contacting them on LinkedIn.  I always want to surround myself with success and high level people and social media is the easiest way.  I know there may be a time, sometime in the future, where there may be potential to work with this person or I might need their expertise.  By following them through social media, it makes it easy to reach out when that time comes.

I personally have people message me daily and add me to Facebook all the time.  Most are people that have watched my videos on YouTube or follow my blog in some way.  People ask me for advice ALL THE TIME… and I’ve had plenty of people request coaching or mentorship.  I always make sure that I respond to e-mails and provide the best advice I can to people, which goes to show exactly how easy it can be to reach out to someone.

Some people are easier to reach out to than others, but for the most part, experts are LOOKING to interact with their potential customers and followers.  They WANT to build a relationship with you, and they WANT to help you.

Using Search Engines To Find Experts

Google, Yahoo and Bing are all fantastic for finding experts and mentors.  You can just search for whatever keywords you want and find someone on whatever topic you want.  If you’re looking for health or fitness advice, search for it.  There will be millions of websites that show up of people offering health and fitness advice.  These experts are usually very transparent about their services, what they offer, their results, etc…  You can see whether or not they are the “real deal” or if it’s just a bunch of B.S.

Websites To Find Experts

There are many websites you can visit to find experts in different fields, such as FindAnExpertOnline.com.  I personally enjoy using message boards and forums as a way to get expert advice and reach out to people.  A online marketing forum that I’m apart of is called Warrior Forum, where you can discuss online business strategies and get your questions answered.  I’ve even found a coach that I’ve worked with through it.  I’ve also met high level people through Meetup.com, where you can attend meetup events and meet experts in different fields.

How To Know If They Are Credible

In the world of the internet, it’s easy for someone to be full of crap.  You need to find out if someone is credible or not.  If someone is offering a product online, and you’re unsure if it’s a scam or not, I recommend for people to do their due diligence and try to learn more about the product or expert.  You can simply search up the product online and see what people are saying about it in the message boards.  The good news is that nearly all products online offer money-back guarantees, so it’s extremely easy to test-drive things.  I personally use Clickbank to sell many of my products and I’m required to offer a 60-day money back guarantee.  It’s easy for people to get their money back if they’re unhappy with something, and Clickbank handles all of that.  This makes investing in a guru or expert very low-risk.

Apply What They Teach

The best way to find out if the person is credible or is offering good advice is to apply what they teach.  This is the only way to know if it’s right for you.  Most experts offer free advice online which you can easily go through and apply to your own life.  If it works, great, then it might be worthwhile to follow more of what this person is teaching.  If not, then move on.

I personally started learning about Tony Robbins online years ago and it wasn’t until I started applying what he was teaching to my life that I really became a fan.  The same goes with other mentors that I follow.  The more results I get from applying what the person teaches, the more associated I become to that guru.

Surround Yourself With Success

Finding experts, mentors and coaches is worth it.  In my opinion, you are short-changing yourself if you’re not actively looking for and working with experts.  In my video blog The 7 Reasons Why You Need A Life Coach I talk about how I’ve cut off years of learning and fast-tracked my results with business, fitness, dating, and every other area of my life.  I’m personally apart of mastermind groups of successful people, where I can easily get any question answered or receive support on any problem I’m facing.  It’s invaluable to have a network like that.

It all starts with reaching out to people and building relationships.  You have to be proactive.  Your net worth is your network!

How do you get motivated to really master an area of your life?

I’ve talked about this through my blog and in my book, Life Mastery, that there are many different areas of life that constantly require focus and energy.  If you ignore an area of your life, such as your health, it begins to suffer and cause problems down the road.  The same can be said for any other area of your life.  Mastery is required for every area of your life if you want to constantly be growing and improving.

I was watching a YouTube video last night of Robert Herjavec, who is one of the co-stars on Shark Tank and Dragons Den.  One of the pieces of advice that he said is that in order to be successful you must focus on ONE THING and get REALLY GOOD at that.  He says you must become a master in that area and not worry about everything else.  If you look at a hall of fame quarterback in the NFL, they get paid to be good at one thing and one thing only:  throwing the ball.  They aren’t worried about defence or any other area of the game – they’re entire focus is on being the best quarterback.  This was really good advice, and I realized that I’ve approached this philosophy in my own life.

How Do I Get Motivated?

I get asked this question all the time, which is why I wanted to share these 5 easy steps to get motivated to mastery.  This process is an exercise and requires you to actually participate, so you will want to take out a pen and paper and go through this process.  If you just read through this blog post and don’t do anything, you just WASTED YOUR TIME.  All success comes from DOING, so you’ll want to make sure that you follow along and answer these questions for yourself.

Let’s begin…

1) What is an area of your life that you wish to master?

It can be any area of your life or a goal that you may be in the pursuit of – health, fitness, relationships, finance, business, career, etc…

2) What will it cost you if you don’t master this area of your life?

Think long and hard about this, while being SPECIFIC as possible.  The purpose of this is to create the pain and leverage on yourself to do something about it.  Don’t sugar coat things – be honest.

3) How would the quality of your life improve if you master this area of your life?

Think about how amazing you’d feel and how much more rich and fulfilling your life will be.  What would the rewards be?  The purpose of this is to create the pleasure and positive emotions to empower you to follow through.

4) What’s the story you tell yourself, which has been holding you back?

Everyone has a story they tell themselves or share with others of why they can’t do something or follow through.  It’s often just a rationalization.  It’s a limiting belief that is holding them back.  What is it for you?

Once you have it, write it down and ask yourself ”why is this bullshit?”

Realize that it’s BS and let go of it.

“The only thing that is keeping you from getting what you want, is the story you keep telling yourself about why you can’t have it.”  — Anthony Robbins

5) What are you going to do to master this area of your life?

What actions are you going to take?  What can you do RIGHT NOW to move towards your outcome?  What are you going to commit to?  Write out a quick action plan and think about how you can do something ASAP to create momentum.

How do you feel after writing this stuff down?  My guess is you’re probably pumped up and ready to get going on things!

Remember, you can either settle in life… or set your own standard for success and fulfillment.

Good luck!

I recently achieved another one of my 2013 New Year Resolutions and invested in a high quality Vitamix blender.  I’ve wanted a Vitamix for quite awhile now, as I was tired of going through cheap blenders and having them break down.  I personally blend at least twice a day, and so investing in a high quality blender was a must for me.

I’ve put up a video blog below of my Vitamix in action.  I decided to put up a Vitamix review to share the many benefits and uses of owning the Vitamix Total Nutrition Center.

The Benefits Of Blending

Like I said, I blend frequently – usually first thing in the morning and within 30 minutes after my workout.  I’m a fan of blending my meals for two primary reasons:

It’s Fast And Easy.  It’s extremely fast and easy to make meals by blending.  You don’t have to cook or spend a lot of time preparing meals.  You can simply blend up a healthy, nutritious meal within minutes.  Clean up only takes minutes as well.

It’s Healthier.  Blending is an easy way to consume larger quantities of raw foods, such as fruits and vegetables.  It’s much easier for your body to digest, as the foods are raw and already pre-digested by consuming it in a liquid form.  You can also easily add in protein powders, making it ideal for a post-workout meal as your body will easily absorb protein to rebuild your muscles.

Here’s some of my favourite ingredients to blend each day:

• Protein Powder (I use brown rice or pea protein for health reasons)
• Fruit (bananas, berries, apples, oranges, mangos)
• Vegetables (spinach, cucumber, celery, lettuce, kale)
• Almond Milk or Rice Milk
• Coconut Water
• Hemp Seeds (good source of protein and essential fats)
• Chia Seeds (rich in omega 3 fats)
• Udo’s Oil (mixture of omega 3-6-9 oil blend)
• Coconut Oil
• Goji Berries
• Maca Root (energy boost)
• Raw Cacao (adds taste without added fat or sugar of chocolate)
• Bee Pollen (increased energy and stamina)
• Psyllium Husks (good source of fibre)

I obviously don’t mix all of those ingredients in at once (you could if you wanted to though!), but just a few of these powerful ingredients will perform wonders for your body and health.  I used to go as far as adding in oatmeal and other complex carbs to my blends for muscle-gaining purposes.  For me to eat all of these ingredients separately would otherwise take FOREVER!

Vitamix Review

The Vitamix Total Nutrition Center is a high powered blender that is often used at Starbucks, Jugo Juice, Booster Juice and Jamba Juice.  You can literally create almost any type of meal with a Vitamix blender, including: frozen drinks, cooked meals, creamy deserts, hot soups, and smoothies within minutes.  The high powered blender uses a 2-peak horse power (1380 watts) motor, along with a radial cooling fan and thermal protection system.  It’s extremely durable and comes with a 7-year warranty, and so you don’t have to worry about it breaking anytime soon.

Since owning a Vitamix, I’ve been blown away by the recipes and meals that I could create.  I didn’t know a blender was capable of juicing or cooking meals.  The Total Nutrition Center, formerly the Vitamix 5200, comes with a DVD that contains dozens of recipes and a recipe book so that you can make many of the delicious, healthy recipes within minutes.  Since owning it, I have made many of the delicious smoothies and even made a healthy ice cream!

Vitamix vs Blendtec

I’ve done a lot of research and comparison of Vitamix vs Blendtec, and I’ve concluded that Vitamix is most likely best for me.  I personally trust the Vitamix brand a lot more and believe it’s much more reliable than the Blendtec blender.  Both have their pro’s and con’s, but based on my research, the biggest advantages Vitamix has over Blendtec is:

• Vitamix has better speed control.  The Total Nutrition Center comes with two switches (one for turning it on/off and another for high speed) and a dial for variable speed.  The dial is beneficial as it allows you to have more control over how thick you want your blend to be.  You can easily start off slow, then increase the speed as you wish.  In terms of power, apparently Blendtec has a more powerful motor, but I heard it’s irrelevant as only a certain amount of wattage can be released through the power outlet.  Apparently nobody has noticed a difference in quality from the higher powered motor they advertise.
• Both blenders produce tolerable sound, but Vitamix is relatively quieter.
• Vitamix has a larger jar than Blendtec, which makes it easier to produce large amounts rather than having to make smaller batches.
• Vitamix comes with a tamper, Blendtec does not.  The tamper adds to the versatility and speed in which you can blend, making it easier to mix the ingredients.  People have said to be frustrated with Blendtec at times as you need to sometimes take out the pitcher and shake it to better mix the ingredients, then try blending again.
• Vitamix is slightly more expensive than Blendtec, but you get free shipping with Vitamix.  Blendtec doesn’t offer free shipping, so the price can come out to be slightly higher than Vitamix.

Overall, I think both blenders are incredible and you can’t go wrong with either one.  I just chose the Vitamix as I’ve heard more great things about it from others and I enjoyed the fact that many of the juice bars that I frequent endorse it.

Where To Buy Vitamix?

In my opinion, the best place to buy Vitamix is online through their website – that’s where I bought it.  It seems that buying Vitamix online is the cheapest option, as you’re able to take advantage of some of the sales they offer, as well as get free shipping (Coupon Code: 06-008602).  It’s also best to deal directly with Vitamix incase anything goes wrong.

The other options are to buy Vitamix from Amazon or sometimes you can find it at Costco, if they’re doing a tour in your area.

You can’t go wrong with owning a Vitamix.  I’ve been using it daily and it’s been a huge addition to my life, and a major enhancement to my health and well-being.  I don’t know how I lived without it…

A powerful book that really had an impact on me is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.  I recently reviewed what I learned from this little book and decided to write a book review about it.  The book is structured around Four Agreements, which are essential to living a fulfilled life and being free.  They are agreements that you make with yourself.

In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel talks a lot about freedom — the essence of what we all desire.  But, what holds us back is fear.

To be alive is the biggest fear humans have.  Death is no the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what we really are.  Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans.  We have learned to live our lives trying to satisfy other people’s demands.  We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.”

It is mentioned in the book that Don Miguel experienced a near-death experience that changed his life.  In the 1970′s, he fell asleep at the wheel of his car and ended up crashing into a wall of concrete.  After this experience, he devoted himself to to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying with his mother (a healer) and learning from a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert.  These experiences have provided us with the powerful wisdom that he shares in this book.

We dishonor ourselves just to please other people.  We even do harm to our physical bodies just to be accepted by others.  You see teenagers taking drugs just to avoid being rejected by other teenagers.  They are not aware that the problem is that they don’t accept themselves.  They reject themselves because they are not what they pretend to be.  They wish to be a certain way, but they are not, and for this they carry shame and guilt.  Humans punish themselves endlessly for not being what they believe they should be.  They become very self-abusive, and they use other people to abuse themselves as well.”

Nobody abuses us more than we abuse ourselves.  He talks a lot about negative self-talk — how we doubt ourselves and feed our brains with negativity and limiting beliefs.  However, the cure of self-abuse is self-love.  It’s only when we truly love ourselves we can accept ourselves.

We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves.  The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse.  Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal.  Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves; it is why we don’t accept ourselves the way we are, and why we don’t accept others the way they are.”

The Four Agreements

1.  Be Impeccable with Your Word

This is the most important agreement.  Don Miguel talks about your word and the words of others are powerful.  They have the potential to hurt yourself and others.  And most of our self-limitations and fears, are due to the words or opinions of others.

During our domestication, our parents and siblings gave their opinions about us and we lived in fear over these opinions, like not being good at swimming, or sports, or writing.  Someone gives an opinion and says, “Look, this girl is ugly!” The girl listens, believes she is ugly, and grows up with the idea that she is ugly.  It doesn’t matter how beautiful she is; as long as she has that agreement, she will believe that she is ugly.  That is the spell she is under”

I can completely relate to this.  Back when I was growing up, I’d hear a lot of negative opinions from others.  But I think part of this is having a strong identity and sense of self.  When you know who you are (ie. know that you’re not ugly), then you’re unaffected by the opinions of others because YOU are the one that dictates what you think or feel about yourself.  You know the truth.

But, he is completely right with the affects it has on others.  More importantly, it’s also the affect YOU have with your word on yourself.

Being impeccable with your word is not using the word against yourself.  If I see you in the street and I call you stupid, it appears that I’m using the word against you.  But really I’m using my word against myself, because you’re going to hate me for this, and your hating me is not good for me.  Therefore, if I get angry and with my word send all that emotional poison to you, I’m using the word against myself.

If I love myself, I will express that love in my interactions with you, and then I am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction.  If I love you, then you will love me.  If I insult you, you will insult me.”

2.  Don’t Take Anything Personally

This is what I talked about earlier with IDENTITY.  If you know who you are, other things don’t affect you because you’re still YOU — you don’t take things personally.

If someone insults or says anything negatively about you, who cares?  It shouldn’t change how you feel or what you think about yourself.  It’s only when your identity is weak that you’re vulnerable.  Then you ACCEPT what others think or say about you,, and all of a sudden you’re left with self-limitations.

3.  Don’t Make Assumptions

The problem with making assumptions is that we believe they are REAL, which is bullshit.

When you meet a guy or girl and it went really well, you make the assumption that they are now your new boyfriend/girlfriend and it’s going to be amazing and wonderful.  However, it hasn’t really happened.  It’s fake.  It’s all what you manifested in your mind.  Therefore, what happens when the reality doesn’t meet that assumption?  You get hurt.  You are creating even more fear and self-doubt in the future.

Instead, don’t assume anything.  Don’t make things bigger than they are.  This is what “one-itis” is, if you’ve heard the term.  It’s when you meet someone, create a total fixation with them that they are wonderful and that you’re going to live happily ever after together… and then you think about them all the time, and you begin getting depressed and bothered by it.  This is making assumptions.

4.  Always Do Your Best

Just do your best — in any circumstance in your life.  It doesn’t matter if you are sick or tired, if you always do your best there is no way you can judge yourself.  And if you don’t judge yourself there is no way you are going to suffer from guilt, blame, and self-punishment.  By always doing your best, you will break a big spell that you have been under.”

For me, this is a matter of PRIDE.  When I pushed things past my comfort zone or did the best I could in something, I feel great about myself because I can look in the mirror knowing I did my best.  I never want to have any “what ifs?” in ANYTHING… or no feelings of regret.  I can deal with the temporary embarrassment or discomfort of pushing my comfort zone, but at the end of the day, I KNOW that I can go home happy.  This is a big part of my personal growth.

Most people go to work every day just thinking of payday, and the money they will get from the work they are doing.  They can hardly wait for Friday or Saturday, whatever day they receive their money and can take time off.  They are working for the reward, and as a result they resist work.  They try to avoid the action and it becomes more difficult, and they don’t do their best.

They work so hard all week long, suffering the work, suffering the action, not because they like to, but because they feel they have to.  They have to work because they have to pay the rent, because they have to support their family.  They have all that frustration, and when they do receive their money they are unhappy.  They have two days to rest, to do what they want to do, and what do they do?  They try to escape.  They get drunk because they don’t like themselves.  They don’t like their life.  There are too many ways that we hurt ourselves when we don’t like who we are.”

Sound familiar to anyone?

Action is about living fully.  Inaction is the way that we deny life.  Inaction is sitting in front of the television every day for years because you are afraid to be alive and to take the risk of expressing what you are.  Expressing what you are is taking action.  You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action.  Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward.”

Action is POWER.  And action is really just making DECISIONS.

Don Miguel talks about living your life fully.  You never know what can happen.  We plan for our futures and what’s ahead, but it isn’t promised to us.  There truth is, we don’t know if we’re going to die tomorrow.  We have just the present to be alive.  We all have the assumption that we have many years ahead of us in the future.  But do we?

To be completely free, you must accept and embrace death.  It is only then that you can be truly alive.

This was a long book review, but I really enjoyed this book.  I also really enjoyed writing this, as everything seemed to sink in a lot deeper.  The book is a short read and has a ton of value in it.  If you want to learn more on the Four Agreements which I lightly touched on, then I’d recommend checking out Don Miguel Ruiz’s book.

One of the best books I’ve come across on financial education has been Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.  I’ve since become a huge fan of Robert Kiyosaki and have read many of his other books and watched a lot of videos of him.  In this book review, I want to share some of the most important lessons that I’ve learned from Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Become Financially Educated

This is one of the biggest things I’ve taken from Robert Kiyosaki.  He says most people spend years in school but learn nothing about money or finances.  He stresses how money is something learned at home and is usually taught by your parents, not through the school or education system.  We all need to take it upon us to become financially educated and literate.

One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home, not in school.  Most of us learn about money from our parents.  So what can a poor parent tell their child about money?  They simply say “Stay in school and study hard.”  The child may graduate with excellent grades but with a poor person’s financial programming and mind-set.  It was learned while the child was young.

Money is not taught in schools.  Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills.  This explains how smart bankers, doctor and accountants who earned excellent grades in school may still struggle financially all of their lives.

One of my favorite segments of the book is when he talks about learning as much as possible and developing your skill sets in different areas.  To learn areas such as sales, marketing, communication, management, etc… and how valuable they are.

He tells a story about how he was interviewed in Japan by a woman.  This woman was an extremely talented writer and had written many novels, however, none of them had cracked the best-seller list.  When Robert was talking to her, he asked her why doesn’t she learn sales?  She says “Oh, I hate sales.  I don’t want to be one of those people” and she goes on and on.

Robert Kiyosaki said, “There’s a reason why I’m a best-selling author instead of a best-written author.”

The lesson from that is to learn to sell.  Sales is a valuable asset and will get you far.  You could write the best book in the world, but if you can’t sell it, then what’s the point?  This is something I can definitely relate to, as I publish a lot of books on Kindle and it all comes down to the marketing of the books.

Have Money Work For You

Most people WORK FOR MONEY, instead of having money WORK FOR THEM.

The poor and the middle class work for money.  The rich have money work for them.

Most people spend their lives going through school and getting an education so that they can WORK FOR MONEY.  They spend all their time working for someone else.  For example, they work for a paycheck and are making the owner/shareholders richer.  Then they work for the government, which takes its share from their paycheck before they even see it.  And of course, the harder they work and more money they make, the more of it is taken from the government.  And finally, they work for the bank to pay off their mortgage and credit card debt.

Instead, acquiring assets that produce income is a way of having money work for you.  Examples are passive income (real estate), portfolio income (stocks, bonds, etc…), or businesses.  Part of the reason why I’m so big into online marketing is that I’ve been able to create automated streams of income through it.  Check out my blog post on how to make passive income.

Acquire Assets, Not Liabilities

Robert says we must know the difference between an asset and a liability, and buy assets.

Rich people acquire assets.  The poor and middle class acquire liabilities, but they think they are assets.

Here are more examples of assets that Robert Kiyosaki recommends we acquire:

• Businesses that do not require your presence.
• Stocks
• Bonds
• Mutual Funds
• Income-generating real estate
• Notes (IOU’s)
• Anything that produces income or appreciates or has value.

A liability is anything that is an expense or depreciates in value.

Own a Corporation 

Another great thing Robert talks about is the tax advantages of owning a business.  He mentions how a corporation can do so many things that an individual cannot.  Like pay for expenses before it pays taxes.

Employees earn and get taxed and they try to live on what is left.  A corporation earns, spends everything it can, and is taxed on anything that is left.  It’s one of the biggest legal tax loopholes that the rich use.

A fantastic summary he has for it is:

The Rich with Corporations

1. Earn
2. Spend
3. Pay Taxes

People Who Work for Corporations

1. Earn
2. Pay Taxes
3. Spend

In this book, there are tons of other nuggets of gold like the ones I mentioned above.  Everything I covered here is just the tip of the iceberg.  I hope you enjoyed this Rich Dad, Poor Dad review and take the next step to further your financial education.

What is the most important decision you’ll make in your life?

It’s a great question, and I was recently asked it by a follower of Project Life Mastery and decided to put up a video blog with my answer.  You can watch the video below:

You Are Always Making Decisions

In every given moment of time, you are always making decisions.  Even as you read this blog post, you’re making a decision – the decision of what to focus on.  What you decide to focus on in any given moment of time is the most important decision you’ll ever make.  Your focus controls everything in your life.  What you decide to focus on controls how you feel, and more importantly, what you will do.

The unfortunate thing is, most people don’t take control over their focus.  They are very REACTIONARY with their focus.  They easily lose focus on what they want and instead get distracted by problems and pain.  They’ll focus on what is wrong in their lives instead of what is right.  They focus on what they don’t have instead what they do have.  They focus on what they can’t do instead of what they CAN do.

The QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE is determined by WHAT YOU FOCUS ON.

Most people say that they can’t control their focus – WRONG.  The truth is, you CAN control what you focus on.  It’s simply a decision that you make, and nobody else can make that decision but you.

To prove my point, let’s take the example of certain celebrities or famous people.  Have you ever heard of certain celebrities or famous people get addicted to drugs or end up committing suicide?  There’s countless examples of them where their lives are in shambles.  These people seemingly have everything a human being could want.  They are attractive, rich, get to travel the world, have people love them, etc… yet, their going in and out of rehab and many have committed suicide.  They clearly aren’t happy or fulfilled if this is the case.

Yet, let’s take the example of certain people in the world that don’t have the same luxuries as a celebrity does.  How about people in Africa or in third world countries that don’t have money… or anything, for that matter?  In some of these countries, the people are so happy, cheerful and fulfilled.  They seemingly don’t have anything, yet they celebrate life each day and are grateful for every moment.

The ONLY difference between the celebrity and the person in a third world country is their FOCUS.  The celebrity clearly hasn’t mastered their emotions and is focused on what’s wrong, what’s missing, what they don’t have, etc… they are ungrateful and unfulfilled.  The person in the third world country focuses on what is right, what they do have, and how great their life is.  They are grateful and fulfilled!

How To Control Your Focus

What you focus on begins to become habitual over a period of time.  It gets to the point where it’s on automatic pilot and you’ll automatically focus on the positive or negative, entirely depending on how you have conditioned yourself over a period of time.  If you are a negative person, it’s simply because you’ve CONDITIONED yourself to be focused on the negative consistently.  The same goes for being positive person and CONDITIONING yourself to focus on the positive.

In order to control your focus, you must make a ritual of it.  You may have seen my morning ritual video that talks about how to condition yourself daily to be the way you want to be.  It’s through the process of a ritual that over a period of time, you will automatically focus on what is right.  It takes constant effort at the beginning, but it becomes easier as time goes on.

What things can you do to control your focus?  Here’s a few.

Empowering Questions

I’ve mentioned in my morning ritual video the power of questions.  When you ask yourself a question, you need to come up with an answer.  Questions are the best way to control your focus.  For you to feel a certain way, simply ask yourself a question that will cause you to feel the way you want.

For example, here’s some of my favourite questions to ask myself:

• What am I grateful for in my life right now?
• What am I happy about in my life right now?
• What am I excited about in my life right now?
• What am I proud of in my life right now?
• What am I committed to?
• How can I become even better today?
• How can I contribute and make a difference?
• What am I passionate about?
• Who do I love?  Who loves me?

Ask yourself these questions daily and watch how your emotions and feelings change.  Yes, you can focus on the negative and the problems in your life – but why?  Why not focus on the GOOD?  It is there, if you look for it!

The 10 Day Mental Diet

I have a blog post called The 10 Day Mental Diet that helps people to change their life in 10 days.  The purpose of the 10 day mental diet is to challenge yourself to go 10 days straight without a negative thought or emotion.  Whenever a negative thought or emotion comes up, you must quickly change your state or thought to something positive.  If you indulge in a negative thought or emotion for more than a minute, you must start over again.

You will fail many times in the process, as I have.  But once you’re able to go the complete 10 days, your life will change.  You will begin to be aware of your thoughts and feelings more than ever, and more importantly have proven to yourself that you are in control of them.  I highly encourage people to take up this challenge!

Reading

I really believe that the habit of reading and learning each day is a powerful way to change your life.  When you read a book, you are essentially taking on the beliefs and thoughts of the author.  You’re programming yourself and re-wiring your brain.  That’s why I often discourage people from constantly reading the news, as the more you do that, you’re feeding your brain negativity which affects you on many levels.

It’s important to consume positivity each day.  Consuming positivity is like feeding your brain, just as you’d feed your stomach.  I personally make sure that I read at least 10 pages a day of a positive book and it really has changed me on many levels.

Make Decisions!

Finally, I will say that making decisions on WHAT TO DO is really important.  Your entire destiny is shaped by your decisions.  The person that you’re in a relationship with, the state of your health and body, your career, etc… all of these were determined by YOUR DECISIONS.  You are responsible for every decision that you make and the circumstances of your lives, as it was YOUR DECISION that created it.

If you want to really transform your life, begin to make NEW DECISIONS and take new risks.  Action is required and you must get outside of your comfort zone, but in the end, it’s always worth it.  I got to where I am today because of certain decisions I’ve made.  I’m grateful for all of them, the failures and successes, because they’ve brought me to you and I’m now blessed to share this information.

How do you stay organized in your life?  

We’re all busy and trying to figure out how to manage the different areas of our lives.  Without a system to properly organize our lives, things can get stressful.  I know I’ve definitely been there before – running multiple businesses, competing in a fitness competition, growing a relationship, going out with friends and socializing, etc…

I was recently asked this question by a follower of PLM and created a video blog from it.  Check it out below:

You Need A System For Your Life

In order to effectively manage and organize your life, you need a system.  I personally follow a system that Tony Robbins designed and teaches in his Time Of Your Life program, but essentially it’s about developing the habit of planning and organizing your life.  In my life plan video, I talk about how I categorize life into different areas – health/fitness, emotions, relationships, finance, career/business, etc…  I believe that each area of life requires consistent focus each week and you must grow each area to be completely fulfilled.  Growing and focusing on each area of your life isn’t an easy task, unless you have a system for it.

Weekly Planning

I go through a weekly planning process every Sunday or Monday to get organized for the week.  Here’s what I do:

1. I take out a journal and I begin to write down everything that I want to get done this week.  I make a long list, and also include actions for the goals I have for each area of my life.

So for example, the list could look like:

• Reply to all emails.
• Buy groceries.
• Record video blog.
• Publish blog post.
• Coach John.
• Complete morning ritual 7x this week.
• Workout 5x this week.
• Go to church on Sunday.
• Plan out each day 5x this week.
• Read 10 pages of self-help book 5x this week.
• Update finances.
• Call mom.
• Go out for dinner with Jessica.

As you can see from this list, I have a variety of tasks I need to get done for the upcoming week.  They’re all in different categories of life, but at least now I have a clear idea of what I want to get done.

2. Categorize each action item under the goals that I have for the month.

I always have a list of goals for each month, for each area of my life.  I again take out my journal and begin to categorize each action item for each goal.  So for example, if I have the goal of making $10,000 a month in my business, then I’d put the action items “reply to all emails”, “record video blog”, “coach John”, and anything else related to business under that goal.

If I have the goal of losing 5 pounds this month, then I’ll put all health/fitness related actions under that goal, such as “workout 5x this week” and “buy groceries.”  The same goes for every other action item on this list and for every other goal that I have.

3. Schedule My Goals And Tasks

Next I begin to schedule each task during specific time blocks during the week.  When am I going to do my morning ritual everyday?  I write out in my calendar what time that I’ll be doing it, let’s say 8AM to 8:30AM.  When am I going to workout each day?  I schedule it in for 9AM to 10AM.  When am I going to go out for dinner with Jessica?  I schedule that for Friday at 7:00PM.

I make sure that EVERY GOAL and EVERY ACTION ITEM is scheduled and so each day I have a plan and know EXACTLY what I am doing.  You need to schedule the time you’re going to be working on your business, attend school classes, do your homework, hangout with your friends, etc…  I recommend investing in a good quality planner.  I use Tony Robbins RPM Planner and sometimes just use a paperback journal.

By scheduling things in your life, it takes the stress and thinking out of it.  You wake up each day with a plan.  You are being PROACTIVE each week and designing your life, instead of reacting to things as they come up.  Planning is a vital part of success.  Things are going to come up to distract you from your plan, but you must not deviate.  If your friends invite you out tonight but you’ve scheduled tonight for working on your business, you must learn to say NO.

Learning To Say No!

Learning to say “no” is an important strategy that has helped me stay organized.  Distractions are inevitable.  The more successful you become, the more people want your time and want to hangout with you.  I can’t tell you how many people e-mail me each day and message me on Facebook and want my time.  It wasn’t like this years ago, but has been now that I am more public and transparent with my blog.  The more popular you become, the more people want to spend time with you!

The challenge is, if you just talk to everyone and give your time away, then you’re left with no time for yourself and the things that are important in your life.  It can be a big drain and consume a lot of energy.  That’s where the power of NO comes in.  I am very protective of my time and very selective about the people I spend time with.  I make sure I respond to all e-mails on my blog, but when people ask more from me, I usually have to decline.  I have people wanting to pitch me weekly on ideas or a MLM business, but I have to decline.  I have people asking me to go for coffee or want to pick my brain on things, and I just tell them to e-mail me as I don’t have time right now to meet up.

I make sure I FOCUS MY TIME on the things that are important to me and things that are aligned with my goals.  I make sure I schedule the time to hangout with certain friends, or family, or my girlfriend, or to focus my time on my businesses.  There’s times when I am focused on a big project and I’ll turn off my phone and not reply to anyone for a full week so that I can give 100% of my focus towards the project.  I’ll have people invite me out to parties or fun activities, but sometimes I have to say NO because I know that what I have planned for my life is more important.

Simplify Your Life

Being able to simplify your life is important.  I used to focus on too much at once and would often easily become overwhelmed.  It became more difficult to stay organized and I’d be very stressed.  I decided I needed to cut off some activities in my life so that I could focus more effectively on a fewer number of things that were more important.

For example, when I first started coaching people on PLM I would take on anyone that was interested in coaching.  The problem was that eventually it ended up consuming a lot of my time and was taking away the focus of my online businesses, which were important to me as they were creating passive income and freedom for my life.  I also had so many clients that I often couldn’t remember things with some of them and important things we’d talk about on each of our sessions.  That’s when I decided I needed to start saying NO to people and only taking on a limited number of people at a time.  I decided on a limit and focused on more quality coaching, rather than quantity.  It’s been an important decision that has really helped me stay more organized.

I’ve also simplified my life by cutting out certain people that were wasting my time and activities that were too time consuming.  I learned how to AUTOMATE my life and use OUTSOURCING, which I’ll discuss below.

Automation And Outsourcing

I first learned about automation and outsourcing through Tim Ferriss’ book, The 4 Hour Work Week.  I was then introduced to outsourcing and virtual assistants.  I’ve learned that if there’s something in my life that I could hire another person to do, it’s worth doing it.  If there’s something in my life that only I can do and I’m good at it, then that’s something that I need to focus on doing consistently.  I eliminate all the mundane, simple tasks that can easily be outsourced and focus on the high leverage tasks that are important.

For example, when I first started an online business I did everything myself.  I did the web design, copywriting, graphics, content creation, search engine optimization, customer support, etc…  It was very time consuming and I’d end up spending 12+ hours a day doing this stuff.  It was also a waste of my time, as I wasn’t strong in any of these areas and I’d have to learn how to do this stuff, whereas I could have easily hired someone inexpensively to do this stuff who’s already an expert at it.

Many people object to outsourcing or hiring others to perform certain tasks that they say they can do themselves.  While you may be able to do the task yourself, you need to ask yourself if it’s the right focus of your time and energy.  For example, I could write an article on my website myself which might take me an hour to do, or I could hire someone to write an article of near-equal quality for $5-$10.  If I could hire someone to do something for $5-$10, then why would I do it myself?  In fact, if I do that task myself then I’m basically saying that my time is worth $5-$10/hour!

The reality is that outsourcing is VERY INEXPENSIVE.  In fact, you’d be blown away by what you could get done for peanuts.  When I learned this, I hired a virtual assistant from the Philippines on Odesk.com that has now worked with me for over 2 years.  I pay her $2.47/hour and she handles the customer support for 6 websites that I run on Clickbank.  She also does many marketing tasks and research for me whenever I need it.  She’s easy to communicate with, does a quality job, and is very reliable.  She’s helped me grow my businesses and earn a lot of money, without me having to do much.

Today, I hire people to run my businesses and do many tasks including:

• Web design
• Graphic work
• Copywriting
• Customer support
• Article writing
• E-book writing
• Search Engine Optimization
• Research
• Formatting, editing and proofreading
• Video submissions
• Press releases
• Book keeping
• Accounting
• House cleaning

If you want to learn more about outsourcing and automating your life, here’s some resources that I recommend:

Fiverr - Get tasks done for only $5.

Odesk - This is where I outsource specific tasks or work for my my blog or websites. You can get almost anything done very inexpensively and hire Virtual Assistants for under $3/hour.

The 4 Hour Work Week – Tim Ferriss’ book on automation and outsourcing.

I encourage you to take a look at some of these resources and think of ways that you can automate different areas of your own life – it’ll make a huge difference in how productive and organized you are.

This is an update of my 2013 goals and New Year Resolutions that I set at the beginning of the year.  So far, we’re 5 months into the year and I thought it’d be important to share how to check in on your progress and goals.

Watch the video below to see what I’ve accomplished so far in 2013 and what has changed.

The Importance Of Checking In On Your Goals

I can’t emphasize enough the importance of checking on your progress and goals regularly.  The biggest mistake people make when setting goals if failing to ever look at them again.  If you don’t check in on yourself, how do you know whether or not you’re making progress?  How do you know if the strategy you’re using is working?  You don’t.  Often times, people keep taking action towards something and aren’t seeing any results.  This is when people get discouraged, frustrated, and give up.

There was once a time in my life when I didn’t check in on my goals.  I was working out consistently, but wasn’t seeing any noticeable results.  I was investing many hours in the gym trying to gain muscle mass and was eating good food.  I was also investing a lot of money into supplements.  Yet, I wasn’t noticing any results.

The truth was that I wasn’t measuring my progress consistently enough or paying attention to my goal enough.  I wasn’t regularly checking my weight on the scale, measuring different body parts, tracking how much I was lifting, or checking my body fat.  Since I didn’t check anything, I just kept taking the same actions, expecting a different result – this is the definition of insanity!

The moment I started checking in on my goal regularly, the easier it was for me to make adjustments and reach my goal.  Through this I was able to realize that the strategy I was using wasn’t yielding the result I wanted.  I had to make some changes, and I did.  I changed my workout program.  I also at times have changed my protein intake and other foods I was consuming.  And guess what happened?  I noticed an increase in results!

Since I was tracking my goal and checking in regularly, I was able to save myself a lot of wasted time and energy on a strategy that wasn’t working.  None of this would have been possible if I didn’t check in regularly!  The same can be said for any other goal that you are pursuing.

How To Check In On Your Goals

I usually check in on my goals weekly, as part of the process I recommend in My Life Plan.  This allows me to avoid following a strategy that doesn’t work.  I keep detailed notes on my actions and results each week, this way I can progressively see what’s happening.  If something isn’t working for a period of time, I closely look at it and will make a change.  I also check in quarterly (every 3 months) when it comes to yearly goals, as sometimes things change and I need to make sure that I’m on track.

One of the best things that has helped me in achieving my New Year Resolutions is by having them up on a white board that I can see everyday.  I keep them on this whiteboard all year and that way I can’t avoid my goals.  I am forced to see it daily and focus on them.  The more that you focus on something, the more likely you are to achieve it.  Whenever I achieve one of those goals, I simply cross it off on the white board.

Alternatively, you can write your goals down everyday.  I do this with my monthly and quarterly goals, as it forces me to remind myself of the goal and focus on it.  Do NOT make the mistake of forgetting your goals – I’ve done that far too many times.  Remember, the work isn’t done the moment you set the goal – you must keep writing out that goal and obsess about it if you want any change in achieving it!

During the 100 Day Challenge program that I enroll in every year, Gary Ryan Blair has something called “After Action Review”.  The After Action Review is when you evaluate your progress and results with that goal so far.  I’ve used this concept with my own goals and it’s worked great.

I ask myself 3 questions when checking in on my goals:

1) What progress have I made so far in achieving this goal?

2) What needs to change in order for me to make progress towards achieving this goal?

3) What am I committed to doing moving forward to achieve this goal?

By answering these questions honestly and writing them out, I’ve found it to really help me evaluate where I’m at and what needs to change.  I invite you to try these questions out and to check in on the goals you’ve set for the year.

My Progress Of My 2013 New Year Resolutions

I’m very pleased with the progress I’ve been making towards my goals for 2013 so far and I’m going to share an update on each goal below.  If you want to see what my goals for 2013 were, check out my 2013 New Year Resolutions blog post.

1) I will easily be 160 lbs. at 6% body fat and compete in the WBFF Fitness Model Competition on July 13, 2013.

As mentioned in the video, I decided to change this goal and not compete in a competition this year.  My focus shifted to being more health-oriented and to put on muscle mass this year, and compete next year.  I also decided to change this as I want to focus more on my businesses this year and enjoy being in a relationship, which are both difficult tasks while competing.  When you’re competing, you can’t go out to eat for dinners or go out on dates, and it requires a tremendous sacrifice in your life.  I’m happy with the decision and still continue to workout everyday and am healthy.

2) I will easily make $10,000/month passive income on Kindle by December 31, 2013.

So far I’m up to around $6000/mo passive income from my Kindle marketing strategy.  It’s increasing every month and I’m on track to hit those goal, as long as I continue taking action towards it the way that I have.  Feeling very optimistic about it and have now coached over a dozen clients on this method, and they’re all getting great results as well.  I plan on launching a product on it in the near future.

3) I will easily buy an investment property by December 31, 2013. (Successfully completed!)

I’ve achieved this goal!  It was a goal that I failed to achieve during my 2012 new year resolutions, but am happy to say that I made it a high priority on my list this year and was able to make it happen.  Making a real estate deal is something that can’t be rushed and requires patience and is a process, as I’ve learned, but I’m happy everything came together.  I w
as even able to rent out the place for May 1st and have learned a lot about real estate – many more real estate investments to come in my lifetime.

4) I will easily launch my first product on Project Life Mastery by December 31, 2013.

I was able to launch my book, Life Mastery: How To Unleash Your Hidden Potential And Achieve Everything You’ve Ever Wanted in April, but that wasn’t the product I had in mind for this goal.  I’m still in the works of developing a product, which will be a DVD program showing others how I make passive income online.  I’ve made some progress on it, but need to allocate a period of time to complete this project without distractions.  I’m going to be allocating some time in May to work on it.  Also, having my new camera, camera and mic (see below) are also things that will help me to develop a quality product.

5) I will easily move to Yaletown into a beautiful 1 bedroom and office apartment by December 31, 2013.

I’ve made progress towards this goal by looking at places and seeing what’s available.  This is a goal that I can easily achieve anytime, but I’ve planned for it around October as I want to focus on my product first and a few other things before I move.  I also plan on investing in a lot of new furniture, so I have a fund put aside for that when the time comes.  I’m looking forward to this goal the most and can’t wait to move into a new home!  This will get achieved this year.

6) I will easily continue to build an amazing, passionate, loving relationship with Jessica where I am focusing on meeting her needs, being present for her, with us both growing towards an incredible future by December 31, 2013.

This is going great.  I’m still in a relationship and it’s been growing everyday.  A relationship has really added a lot to my life and is something I value immensely, and it’s something that has helped me to grow and become a better person overall.  Nothing more to say here!

7) I will easily go to Mexico for 1 week with Jessica by December 31, 2013.

This is a goal that I plan on achieving during the winter time, most likely December.  This goal is still in the works.

8) I will easily wake up each morning happy, excited and passionate at levels 9′s and 10′s by December 31, 2013.

This goal has been great and I’ve been fairly consistent with my morning ritual everyday.  My morning ritual is what allows me to condition the emotions I want to experience on a daily basis and to really boost my quality of life.  There’s times when I have meetings in the morning and am not able to complete it completely, which is something I need to work on and prepare for.  I’m not perfect at it, but I’ve been happy with everything so far.  Just need to keep up the consistency.

9) I will easily do a 7-10 day cleanse to detox my body and increase my health and energy by December 31, 2013. (Successfully completed – Total Wellness Cleanse Review)

Earlier this year I decided to go on a 10 day cleanse and committed to The Total Wellness Cleanse.  As it turns out, it was one of the best things that I’ve done and it really took my health and energy to a new level.  I can’t remember any other time in my life when I felt so amazing than I was when I did that cleanse!  I plan on doing it again later on this year, I enjoyed it so much.

10) I will easily buy a Vitamix blender by December 31, 2013. (Successfully completed – Vitamix Review)

I bought the Vitamix Total Nutrition Center last month and have been using it daily since.  I’ve so far been blown away by all the amazing recipes I’ve been able to make and how good it’s tasted.  I now blend several times a day and it’s added a lot to my health and energy.  It’s been perfect for my protein shakes in the morning and after workouts, and is extremely fast and easy.  By the way, if you want to order a Vitamix, I’ve included a coupon code below that will get you free shipping if you’re interested.  You can also check out my Vitamix review to see it in action.

11) I will easily buy a new MacBook by December 31, 2013. (Successfully completed!)

I had a 13″ MacBook that really needed to be upgraded this year, and so I was able to buy a new MacBook Pro 15″ a few months ago and it’s made a huge difference to my productivity.  Since I do online marketing, having a fast new computer is essential, as it makes a huge difference to the work that I’m doing.  I plan on upgrading it further, as I need more RAM to do a lot of the video editing that I do for this blog.  Overall, very happy with it and happy this goal was achieved.

12) I will easily buy a new, high quality camera and mic by December 31, 2013.(Successfully completed!)

All of my videos for Project Life Mastery have been recorded on either my MacBook webcam or my small digital camera.  I wasn’t expecting any of my videos to become as big as they have and that so many people would be watching and following them.  Now that I’ve been able to build a successful business out of Project Life Mastery and that it’s growing, I knew it only made sense to invest in a high quality camera and wireless mic so that I could deliver better quality to my audience.

After doing a lot of research and learning what other bloggers out there were doing, I decided to buy the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DLSR with a 18-55mm lens along with the Sennheiser EW 112 GS wireless mic system.  I’ve recorded my first video with it in this video and am still learning how to use everything properly, but so far I’m extremely pleased with the results.  I’ve noticed a big difference in the quality and am excited to shoot more videos with it.

13) I will easily buy the Omega J8004 Juicer by December 31, 2013.(Successfully completed – Omega J8004 Review)

To go along with my goal of having more energy this year, I invested in the Omega J8004 juicer.  My $50 juicer had broke and I had enough with wasting money on crappy products.  I asked a lot of friends in the health industry and after doing a lot of research, I found the Omega J8004 to be the best juicer for me.  I’ve now used it daily for months and it’s become a important part of my morning ritual.  Juicing has given me a ton of energy and also aided in my 10 day cleanse.  Very happy with the purchase, it was one of the best I’ve made!

I’m definitely not perfect and have my own struggles from time to time, but I believe through persistence and perseverance that I will achieve the rest of my goals.  Every goal achieved provides more confidence for the next one.  And with checking in regularly, I am able to ensure that I am on track and make any adjustments if necessary.

Your Turn

That’s it for me and my goals.  Now it’s your turn.  How have you been doing so far with your goals for this year?  Have you achieved a few?  Are there still a few to work towards and require adjustments?  I encourage you to take the time and check in with yourself and your goals.  Be honest with yourself and be willing to make any adjustments if you need to.

I’ve shared the interview below, which is 40+ minutes and covers a wide variety of areas, such as: productivity, health, success and freedom.  Near the end of the video, I share a bit of my story about how I got into making passive income online and how I use outsourcing to really create more freedom in my life.  Jack was really intrigued by this, we had a detailed discussion after the interview about it, and we agree’d to do another one sometime in the future by going into this topic more in detail!

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How I changed myself from being a geeky, shy gamer to confident and successful.
• My secrets for being productive and getting stuff done.
• My take on caffeine and how to naturally have more energy throughout the day.
• How to leverage yourself by outsourcing and automating your life.
• How I went from making $300/month online to six figures of passive income online.
• The announcement of my upcoming book, Life Mastery.
• Much, much more!
