If you've been following me for a while, then you' If you've been following me for a while, then you've heard me talk about the importance of having goals in life and business. When I published Turn Your Fear Into Fuel back in March, I started setting sales goals to gauge how well the message of the book was getting out. Thanks to so many of you, we're almost to the next goal: 1,000 books by June 1! As I write this, we're just under 30 books shy of that mark. So, if you've been thinking about buying a copy, now's the time! I just need 29 individuals or a few teams to commit to turning your FEAR into FUEL TODAY. I look forward to celebrating this milestone with all of you. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your support. Get Turn Your Fear Into Fuel on Amazon or learn more at fearintofuelbook.com.

When you lean into uncertainty, you unlock empathy for yourself and others…that’s where real growth happens. So next time you feel fear or doubt? Don’t run from it. Turn it into fuel.

It’s easy to wish for smooth roads and easy days It’s easy to wish for smooth roads and easy days. Who wouldn’t want life to be a little less complicated? But the truth is, adversity is not just something we endure...it’s something that shapes us, sharpens us, and ultimately makes us better. Every challenge you’ve faced, every setback you’ve overcome, has left you stronger than you were before. Adversity is like a forge; it tempers us, builds our resilience, and reveals strengths we never knew we had. It teaches us patience when things don’t go our way, creativity when the old solutions stop working, and courage when we’re faced with the unknown. It’s in those tough moments-when you feel like giving up, when the odds seem stacked against you-that you discover what you’re truly capable of. You learn to adapt. You learn to persevere. You learn that failure isn’t the end, but a stepping stone to something greater. So, if you’re facing challenges right now, know this: you are not alone, and you are not weak. You are in the process of becoming stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Embrace the struggle, trust the process, and remember: each obstacle is an opportunity to turn your FEAR into FUEL. Find the full video on Youtube or learn more about my new book at fearintofuelbook.com.

Life has a way of throwing us curveballs-unexpecte Life has a way of throwing us curveballs-unexpected setbacks, disappointments, and moments that make us question our path. But here’s the truth: setbacks aren’t forever. They’re not the end of your story, but the beginning of a new chapter. Every challenge is an invitation to rise, to dig deep, and to transform fear into the fuel that propels you forward. When fear whispers that you can’t, remember: it’s just energy waiting to be redirected. Harness it. Let your doubts become determination, and your setbacks become stepping stones. You have the power to rewrite your narrative, to turn every obstacle into an opportunity for growth. If you’re ready to break free from fear and step boldly into your next chapter, my new book, Turn Your Fear into Fuel, is for you. It’s available now on Amazon. Want to learn more?
