Be All You Can Be

Rewind 20 years and I was a young kid with crazy dreams and aspirations. (Check me out, I'm on the right) One day I wanted to be a professional wrestler, the next day an astronaut, and the next day a dinosaur. I honestly think that I wanted to be everything cool as a kid from [...]

The Success Formula

These days it seems all everyone wants are compliments, puppies, hugs, smiles, and quick fixes. Nobody wants to get down n’ dirty and work hard to get what they want anymore. People now want instant gratification and overnight results. They want to enjoy the sweetness of the fruit without suffering through the pain of any [...]

No Pain No Pain

Throughout my life I’ve had many goals, dreams, ambitions, aspirations, motivations, etc. Some come and go, but others have stuck with me for life. When I was 5 years old I wanted to be a trash man because I thought it was cool that the guys got to ride on the back of the truck. [...]

These days it is so easy to fall victim to fear, worry, and self-defeatism. We are all guilty of it to some extent, myself included. Life throws us a challenge and right away we defeat ourselves by thinking it is too hard. “I didn’t learn this in school” or “I’m not talented enough” or “I [...]

The Be Harder To Kill Manifesto

Growing up the oldest kid in a middle class house with 5 other siblings…I learned to eliminate all BS from my life at a very young age. At around age 5 I figured out Santa Claus was a lie. (We had no fireplace and my dad would have kicked any grown man’s ass who tried [...]

Lessons Learned From Times Of Pain

This is probably one of the longer blog posts I’ve done…so I want to apologize in advance. But its also one of the most content packed ever and I think you’ll find it somewhat entertaining and hopefully even learn a thing or two. People usually squinch up their faces and give me weird looks when [...]
