Although, there was always a missing ingredient to The RAS Project. While it was 100% heartfelt, it simply did not seem like it was 100% on point.

My involvement in 3 different businesses including my current human marketing agency Razor Sharp Digital hasn't really gotten an emphasis either.  The winds are changing and it's time.

Do you want to be happier? Do you want to feel like you have a purpose? Do you want to be healthier? Do you want to look like a fitness model? Do you want to make a lot of money?   Yes! That's the answer to all of these questions.   Everyone wants to be happy. Feel like they have a purpose. Be healthier. Look amazing in terms of physique. Make a lot of money.   Those of you listening and watching this episode, wish for all of these things and more. Nowadays there's a lot of people who are not happy because of all the things happening in the world. I'm not one to talk politics and news. There's no gratification in talking trash and especially if it's sheer opinions.   However, I will tell you that alike many of you, I've been miserable. I didn't feel like I had a purpose. I wasn't healthy. I definitely didn't look like a fitness model and certainly don't even today.

On this episode, Ivan Temelkov shares his story of immigration to the United States of America and other personal experiences that attributed to discovering success. 

What is your potential? Do you know what you're truly capable of? There are 2 different kinds of people out there. 1) Those who know what their true, real potential looks like but are unwilling to do anything about it to harness it. 2) Those who don't know what their full potential is and need full guidance to discover it.  I've struggled.

Why do communities matter? Are you a good person? Is crypto a fad? Communities are necessary to build relationships in life and in business.

Contributing and playing your part for a better world is our duty as human beings.  You've heard about crypto but might still be on the fence. It's the future of global currency but it's a lot more than that. It's about connecting people and providing an avenue, an exchange that everyone can benefit from on a global scale. On this episode, Ivan Temelkov speak with Joel Clelland, CEO of Centric. A cryptocurrency platform, community, and business that is transforming the world of cryptocurrency. Joel is extremely philanthropic and has a great heart. Don't miss this episode! It's definitely a doozie.

You're not chasing your true desire. You're coasting through life and business because of the influence of others. Not your own real desire for the things you want to accomplish. Desire...it's extremely powerful! Powerful as it might be, is simply on motivation in a potential sea of stuff motivating us to do what we do. The truth of the matter is that many desire but little to none act on that desire. On this episode of The RAS Project, Ivan Temelkov talks about the real meaning of true desire. The reasons why you should be pursuing a business, living a life, being in a relationship, or just about anything that has intent behind it. This one is straight fire and life-changing!  

Are you resilient enough? Are you putting it all on the line? What's stopping you from going all-in and achieving the things you're after? Setbacks, hurdles, challenges. We all face them. In life and in business. Many people will quit at the first sign of adversity. I've been there. A lot of times and even these days still face a lot of adversity. You will fail. You will be criticized. You will be laughed at. You will be sabotaged. The reason why successful people walk a path less traveled is that many desire it but a few will ever do what it takes. Do WHATEVER it takes. Be strong in times of adversity. Push through any challenges you might encounter. Get up when you get knocked down.  On this episode of The RAS Project, Ivan Temelkov shares what it takes to be the best version of yourself. How should you handle adversity? (including some recent chain of events) If you're serious about your true potential, listen to the full episode. Share with anyone that might find value in this episode. 

Many small businesses fail to understand the intricacy of early adoption. Mainly due to the fact that early adoption is so foreign. So new, so uncommon, and potentially expensive.  You have to embrace early adoption. Especially if you want to grow and scale a business.

Understanding the meaning of early adoption and the necessity of it from an entrepreneurial standpoint. Why does early adoption matter in business and entrepreneurship? When is a good time to early adopt? Who should consider early adoption? Early adoption has been a huge part of my entire growth mentality as a human being and entrepreneur.

Studies show that by around mid-February, those people who were so serious about losing weight and getting into shape can't be found at the gym.  Listen/watch this episode of The RAS Project to help you understand what it's going to take to set and fulfill those new year resolutions.

Are you extremely worried about vanity metrics? Think again! Many people on social media are extremely worried about vanity metrics such as Likes, Comments, Views, Shares, and Recommendations. Here's the thing. None of these metrics have a direct correlation to your business in entrepreneurship and business. These metrics correlate to exposure and awareness you create in the social media space that can potentially...potentially create an introduction to someone else. Relationships! You're always one relationship away from changing your life and business. You could get thousands of views on a post (I have on Instagram and YouTube Shorts) and none of them correlate to even a conversation or a comment. The social media space is more saturated than ever and many people feel like they're watching the same sh*t over and over again. Differentiating yourself is difficult, not impossible.
