When given the chance people will try to minimize your accomplishments by belittling what you are doing, becoming jealous/envious, and trying to one-up you.

To often we dim our light at the expense of showing what we truly have to offer. Dimming our light can come in the form of: lowering our standards in relationships, “dumbing down” our conversations with friends or not showing who truly or what we have to offer to make people feel appreciated. By lessening yourself, it comes with a cost. A cost so BIG it could disrupt the trajectory of your life and its endless potential. In this episode, I encourage you to position yourself to brighten your light and never minimize what you have to offer in this world.
To think long term you must have vision and purpose. In this episode, I discuss the difference between a long-term and a short-term mindset.

The people who have a long-term approach tend to see more success and a more abundant lifestyle, however, it takes more time. Let's WIN TOGETHER AND THINK LONG TERM!

Would you rather have 4 quarters or 100 pennies? In this episode, I'm going to share why it's better to have 4 quarters. Never underestimate the value of investing in quality over quantity. Instead of running around chasing pennies hold steady and spend your time looking for valuable quarters (friendships). Hanging with pennies you might find yourself swimming with sharks or opportunists waiting to eat off your table. It takes time and patience to find and cultivate deep friendships. The good ones are often needles in a haystack. They will push you to excellence. So, be patient and do not settle! Remember to LEARN.GROW.PROSPER
In order to level up in life (in your relationships, your career, your health, your spirituality, etc), you need to separate yourself from whatever or whoever is holding you back. Elevation requires separation. What does that mean exactly? What do we need to separate from? Who do we need to separate from? Evaluate yourself, your life, your entourage. You will find the answers by observing how you behave, your surroundings, and the situations in which you find yourself. Real transformation requires real honesty. If you want to move forward, get real with yourself. Remember to LEARN.GROW.PROSPER
