What separates successful people from unsuccessful people? What’s the difference between someone who reaches their potential and someone who fails to accomplish what they are capable of?

If you would have asked me this question when I was 18, I would have told you that success was predestined. It was easier to believe that people who made better grades than me were smarter, or that anyone who was in better shape had more favorable genetics. I didn’t want to take responsibility for my actions, which is probably why I found myself as a 300-pound college freshman on academic probation after my first semester. In my defense, it was hard to prioritize homework and healthy eating habits when I was busy playing video games and making midnight Taco Bell runs with friends. My burrito budget grew exponentially when I learned that you could request them grilled.

I wish I could say there was a defining moment when I realized my life was off track and I needed to change. It would certainly make my story more compelling. It would probably involve lots of tears, a broken relationship or two, and some sort of rock-bottom moment like in a movie when you see what your life could have been like if you continued down the wrong path. Most people believe that success is linear, but that is rarely the case. Like a hiking trail that rises and falls in elevation, the road to the summit is full of twists and turns. 

There’s one thing that I’m fully confident about, and it’s a secret that I believe can unlock an entirely new realm of opportunity and possibility for anyone who desires meaningful change. It’s a principle that has helped me more than anything else over the past eleven years. It’s the main reason why I was able to lose 100 pounds, finish two master’s degrees, and complete three half marathons. Adopting this simple truth will multiply your motivation and put you in the driver’s seat towards whatever future you desire. 

At some point along my journey, I began to recognize the power of small daily actions repeated consistently over time. I learned that I couldn’t climb the entire mountain in one day, but I could always take the next step forward. As I began moving, I learned that I had more control over my destiny than I ever thought was possible. Success wasn’t reserved for those who were lucky. It belonged to anyone who was willing to work for it.

As an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) with the International Coaching Federation, I'm passionate about helping my clients multiply their motivation, develop greater levels of discipline, and take steps towards their preferred future. I believe each person is capable of more than they can imagine or fathom. I also know that success happens incrementally, which is why I recently wrote an eBook entitled "Seven Steps to Dominate Your Day and Crush Your Goals." In the book I unpack the seven daily habits that helped me redefine myself and reinvent my story. I believe that the best way to make progress is to develop small habits with massive potential for compounding interest. It worked for me, and I believe it can work for anyone.
