Why Empower Young People?

I want to talk about why I work with young people. But before I jump in to that, the truth is, really anyone, at any age, or at any stage of their life can benefit from what we talk about - energizing health, rewarding relationships, financial freedom, mind mastery, and taking decisive action. The reason I work with young people specifically is, I believe helping people at the young adult stage of their life can be the most impactful. Why not help people before they have many ingrained habits which get harder and harder to break as time goes by? Why not empower them before they have families and people relying on them completely; which results in many choices made by fear or survival? So all you young people out there…Start now… start thinking and proactively shaping the life you want.

Also, young people are judged so fiercely (with however not being given the best tools in many cases); young people for decades and centuries have always been the target of criticism. Youth is wasted on the young, right? Well, I don’t like waste. And that brings me to my story. I was a bright eyed young person ready to take on the world, armed with my work ethic and my ambition. But what happened next I could have never imagined. It's what I now refer to as the "Lost Decade". I spent over 10 years of my personal journey mostly lost, confused, frustrated, and unsuccessful. Now, don’t get me wrong; a lot of great things happened over that time. I married a wonderful man, had healthy vibrant children, I had a successful corporate job, I was fortunate to coach hundreds of awesome young people, and I learned A LOT. But deep down I was struggling. Struggling to understand myself and my "purpose". But when I finally figured out what was missing, I was happier, but still mad I "wasted so much time". I found though the "Lost Decade" could serve a purpose. Others don't have to feel frustrated and confused; not knowing what to do. You don’t have to feel lost.

I am committed to doing everything I possibly can to help as many people as I possibly can find happiness and success much quicker. Now, I want to pause because I don't want to be misunderstood. I am not saying life will not be hard at times, I am not saying you wont have setbacks, and I am not saying you won't fail. Also, not all aimless time is wasted. Your journey is your journey, but I want you to love it. I want you to be happy. I want you to know your daily action is part of something bigger. I want you to exude confidence. You can work hard and be enthusiastic at the same time. You can invest your time wisely even if the time is used for discovery and exploration. We wont always have the answers, but what we can control is our approach and our attitude towards our lives, our challenges, and our successes. We can master ourselves.

If you are a young person watching this, I know you are capable of handling these challenges because your mind is at a point right now with great potential.

Your mind is the most powerful tool you have. Unfortunately most of us vastly under utilize our minds. Don't let that be you. Start creating great habits now vs allowing your current default state to constantly be putting you in conflict with who you truly are.

I do what I do because I wholeheartedly believe everyone can benefit from a comprehensive yet simple plan for health, wealth, and happiness.
