Become An Enlightened Entrepreneur
Entrepreneur Henry Ford once said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” When Steve Jobs announced he was going to put a thousand songs in your pocket, people said he should stick with computers, and when Bill Gates dropped out of college, no one could’ve foreseen the success of Microsoft.

Brewed Awakenings
On January 1, 2017 I opened a small drive through coffee stand in the charming seaside town of Seward, Alaska. Although I had never been a barista before I had experience in the food industry and management. When you make espresso, it is particularly important that the grind is correct, you tamp properly and that your shot is extracted in a certain amount of time. In Alaska espresso is revered. And I am not stating that lightly.

Leaving University
Hi there, 2020 graduate here. 2020 was NOT the year the graduate. It was tough having to finish my final year of university during a national lockdown with no face to face help from my academic professors or even my peers. If I needed my supervisor, I had to call her on Skype. I had to email professors for help, if I needed assistance from my peers, I had to call them or video chat. A lot of my work in my final year was group based so I had no choice. This make it harder to complete the year? Definitely! It was incredibly difficult. I struggled like crazy and I had many moments where I thought, I want to give up. But then I pulled myself together and said to myself, I've been studying for almost three years, I can do 3 more months to get my degree; and those three months were three of the hardest I have ever had to go through. There was a lot of tears, a lot of having to call mum for moral support and finally, a lot of work.

Why Real Work Is The Key To Success
There is no one formula for success. You can achieve a million different levels of success in a million different ways. Yes, success is subjective, and it varies from person to person, but I’m not here to argue about different philosophies and what success means to different people.

Hellcat's Guide to Nirvana
A deeply satisfied person changing people's lives, that is what I always aspired to be. A reckless, venomous, destructive and self-sabotaging victim, is what my belief system unveiled to me at every turn, and around every corner. It was reflected back to me in every mirror, this was my reality.

The Bottom Half Doesn't Matter
I've become lazy. So incredibly lazy. In many ways, this is understandable. Without the added impetus of socializing, or having to commute to work, or... well, anything else, really, days merge into each other. In fact, without consulting my phone, I'm not always sure what day it actually is.

The Day I Got Thrown The Chair
JD is a consummate professional. By the time I began training with him he had already trained naval rescue swimmers for over 20 years. His wife is a former coach of the New Zealand Olympic swim team. He had once nearly failed inspection in Hawaii. A young man had succumbed to a shallow water blackout, which is very common during the early phases of hypoxic drills in preparation for free dive training. The revival is usually simple.

The new beginning
Being a young individual in a foreign country is not as easy as someone would think. Having no one for support, is easy to get lost in the thought that you are all alone. It feels like you are trapped, you try to escape but it is useless. I guess the only thing you can really do is just sit down and let all those emotions overpower. You have to think of who you are and what you have become. Do not get distracted of useless things, but instead think of yourself. Think of all the things that are taking place and try to understand that all that is happening is happening for a reason. Life can be difficult but you are here to learn and grow. Those difficult moments that you see unfolding in front of your eyes are just memories of the past.

The Secret to Manifesting Money
Our world is plentiful. There is plenty of food, plenty of money, plenty of love, joy, and wealth all around us. There is plenty to go around in this world many times over, it is simply distributed unevenly. If you were to take all the money on the entire planet and distribute it evenly to every man, woman, and child- within a few short months-the same "uneven distribution" would surface.
