Fast forward to today and I have a community of over 1 million subscribers! My story is proof that anything is possible if you are willing to commit to mastery.

Being a YouTuber helped me build a growth mindset.

When I was 17 years old, I found the world of self-development. I finally believed that it was possible to grow and become more.  Ever since then, I've been committed to learning and improving myself. My YouTube channel has given me a platform to publicly share my story of personal transformation.

Over the years, I've stepped outside my comfort zone in more ways than I can count. I have forced myself to get comfortable being uncomfortable and I have documented the process for the world to see.

Every time that I film a video, I learn something new about myself and the world. I then share that knowledge with others and the ripple effect of learning continues.

One question that I get asked by people, time and time again, is how I'm able to make so much progress in so many different areas of my life. Until last year, I was publishing a goals report on my YouTube channel every single month since 2012.

You cannot achieve anything in life without goals. Without them, you end up drifting through life, with no sense of direction. I owe much of my success to my morning ritual. Since I was 17 years old, I've been engaging in healthy habits every single day. As a result, I have been able to optimize my mind, body, and spirit.

Good habits are important to creating your best self because they keep you moving forward instead of falling into old patterns that don't serve you. When you are operating at your best, you create incredible opportunities. In effect, you get more from your day and your entire life.

I feel blessed to have achieved so much success at such a relatively young age.

When you see someone whom you perceive to be in a better position in life than you are, it's natural to compare your life to theirs. Comparisons are likelier to make us feel bad when we make the error of only comparing ourselves to the best.

As an example, a lot of people who are struggling financially tend to compare themselves to the wealthiest people whom they either follow on social media or know personally. Making such an unrealistic comparison creates unnecessary pain and suffering.

While it's human nature to compare yourself to others, it's important to remember that each of us is on a different life path. Success will mean something different from one person to the next. Don't compare your progress to that of others.

At the end of the day, success is simple. It all comes down to your mindset. Once you have adopted the mindset of success and have optimized yourself for it, almost everything that you do becomes successful! Success and confidence go hand in hand.

A confident person doesn't allow their fears to hold them back from pursuing their goals. They know that they will be successful, regardless of how long it takes them to achieve what they set out to do.

Adopting a fear-based approach to life will only limit your opportunities. Fear tells you that it's better to stay in your comfort zone than risk failing.

This is why I'm such a big believer in setting SMART goals. Once you achieve the goals that you set, you build confidence, which inspires you to keep achieving more. In turn, you start learning how to master that which you want.

This doesn't mean that you won't encounter failures along your journey to success.

Failure is a core part of success.

What matters most is how you respond to your failures. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” Failure is merely feedback. It equips you for future success. That's how every successful person views it.

When I first started filming videos I was terrified. I had a lisp, I stuttered, and I was extremely shy. Sharing my story in front of a camera made me feel very anxious. However, I knew that if I felt the fear and did it anyway, I would eventually overcome it. That's what I did.

Today, I am a motivational speaker who gives speeches in front of thousands of people. Moreover, being a content creator has become one of my greatest passions in life. It doesn't mean that I don't still get nervous now and then when I film a video or talk in front of a group of people.

However, because I've built up my confidence muscle, I can access and embody an empowering emotional state at any given moment. It didn't happen overnight, but I was willing to make mistakes, learn from them, and get better over time.

In short, I never gave up. If you want to achieve success in life you have to be willing to do hard things. Stepping out of your comfort zone builds unshakeable resilience and self-confidence.

I hope my story inspires you to make 2021 the year that you unlock your potential and create a successful life. Don't wait for the perfect time to build your dream lifestyle. Start where you are, take action, and don't stop making progress until you've achieved what it is that you set out to do.

This has been my journey to 1 million subscribers. 

Thank you for being a subscriber of Project Life Mastery and for being on this journey of life mastery with me. Being a YouTuber has taught me so much about myself and others.

If you aren't a subscriber yet, but have the desire to succeed faster and master every area of your life, I encourage you to subscribe to the Project Life Mastery YouTube Channel. 

When I first started my channel, I would have never thought that 1 million people would be following me online. However, I was consistent with it and I'm proud to say that I've been able to impact millions of lives through my content.

I'm forever grateful to YouTube for giving me a platform to do so.

Celebrate what you've achieved this year and get excited about your future accomplishments. Commit to moving into 2021 with an open mind and an optimistic attitude for all of the amazing breakthroughs that are upon you!

Welcome to me and Tatiana's couple Q&A! This is your opportunity to get to know us on a more personal level. 

Recently we asked our social media followers to submit questions about things that they want to know about us.

A lot of these questions pertain to topics that we don't talk about on our social media platforms or YouTube channels. We're gonna get personal!

We've chosen some of these questions, at random, and will be answering them inside this blog. Let's dive in!

We want you to get to know us better.

Tatiana and I tend to talk about more serious topics on our channels, related to business, entrepreneurship, investing, and making money. We wanted to switch things up, pull back the curtain, and give you a sneak peek into our personal lives. By nature, Tatiana and I are quite private people.

At times, the world of social media can be challenging territory to navigate. As an influencer, your online activity has a huge impact on your relationships, livelihood, and pretty much every other aspect of your life offline. This is why Tatiana and I are mindful of how much of our lives we share online. 

Despite this reality, we want you to get a better idea of who we are at our core – what makes us happy, our hobbies, interests, and personality traits, to name a few things. Here are our answers to some of our followers' questions!

What is something that you're scared of?

Stefan: There are a lot of things that I'm afraid of. The biggest one is settling. I don't want to get to the end of my life and feel like I missed out on what life has to offer. Another fear that I have is money problems.

I know what it feels like to struggle financially and that is something that I never want to experience again. That fear motivates me to take care of my finances. I'm also terrified of getting sick with cancer or heart disease. Hence why my health is my top priority in life.

Lastly, I'm afraid of losing the passion and love in my relationship with Tatiana. This is why I am always striving to be the best man that I can be. When I show up for myself, in turn, I show up for her and our relationship.

What are you focused on most in your life right now?

Tatiana: I'm focused on my relationship with Stefan. I want to learn as much as I can so that I can grow personally and be the best partner for him. I'm with Stefan for life so we want to make our relationship the best that it can possibly be.

We have an amazing relationship but there's always another level. I always want to be working towards that level. If we don't focus on deepening our connection with one another, we will end up neglecting it.

This happens in a lot of long-term relationships. I don't want us to stop making an effort. If you continue to do what you have done at the beginning of a relationship, there will be no end.

What is something that you are currently struggling with?

Stefan: I think my work consumes me too much. I love my business but there's a lot of responsibilities and stress that come with it. I am constantly inundated with new work opportunities.

While this can be great, the demands are constantly pulling me in a lot of different directions. I have to discipline myself and decide what is more important.

Sometimes this means pulling back and creating boundaries so that I'm not overworking myself like I used to. That path no longer leads to the vision that I have for myself. Creating a balance between work and life can be challenging.

What is your favorite part of your business?

Tatiana: I love creating. The ability to have an idea, to do research, take action, and see my efforts come to fruition excites me. This is why I love having a physical products business.

You don't make money in the business world unless you are adding value to others. If you want people to buy your product or service, they need to see that it's worth the money that they're spending on it.

I also love that my business affords me the freedom to grow and become more. Everything that I teach I've learned through experience. Knowing that I can help others improve their lives through my work inspires me.

Where did you and Tatiana meet and what did you do on your first date?

Stefan: We first met on the dating app, Tinder. Our first date was in Vancouver. We met up during the summertime and we went to the beach. I remember us sitting at the beach and having an incredible conversation about life and love.

What was supposed to be a random meet up ended up turning into a deep soul connection. On our first date, we knew that there was something special between us. The rest is history.

What do you love most about each other?

Stefan: I love how much Tatiana cares. She has such a big and beautiful heart. Her innate desire to give and contribute to the lives of others on a daily basis is something I admire deeply. She does so much to support me and meet my needs in our relationship.

Tatiana: The person you see on Project Life Mastery is the person who Stefan really is. What you see is what you get. He embodies his truth to the fullest. Stefan is constantly striving to grow and be the best version of himself.

He's never in his ego and is always willing to humble himself and look at things from different perspectives. I love that he is always striving to achieve life mastery. It is one of his most attractive qualities.

We hope you enjoyed our couple Q&A!

If you are someone who aspires to build an Amazon business, I encourage you to follow Tatiana on YouTube and Instagram where she shares her best tips and strategies.

Are you ready for a sneak peek of the best of Project Life Mastery in 2019?

As 2019 comes to a close and I prepare to welcome 2020, I've taken some time to sit back and reflect upon what has unfolded this past year.

I'm so grateful for the amazing people I met, the goals that I achieved, and the unforgettable memories that will forever be etched in my heart.

I'm excited to see what the new decade will bring. Until then, I want to share some of Project Life Mastery's magic moments in 2019!

Watch the video below:

(Click here to watch on YouTube)

Project Life Mastery is all about self-mastery.

Those of you who follow me know that I'm always striving to master every area of my life. In turn, I'm inspiring others to do the same. Every aspect of your life is interconnected. If you are experiencing an imbalance in one area, the other areas will follow suit.

When you become the master of your own self, you understand who you are on a deeper level. In turn, you are better able to connect with others and share your gifts with the world. The key to mastery in anything is practice; the more you practice, the more proficient you become. This is why every year I commit to growing and improving myself in different areas of my life.

I want to share with you a sneak peek of some of my 2019 highlights that made this a year to remember.

Social/Fun

This was the year of travel! Tatiana and I traveled all over the world. By the end of this year, we will have been to over 16 countries. We went to South Africa, Asia, New Zealand, Africa, Israel, and South America to name a few.

The beautiful thing about having an online business is that it allows you to be location independent. All that I need in order to work is my laptop and great Wi-Fi. I've said this before and I'll say it again… traveling is the best education.

Any chance that you have to go and explore the world, do it. Traveling offers you the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and explore the unknown. There is nothing that will allow you to learn more about yourself and others than putting yourself in new environments.

Business

As many of you know who follow me, I've been attending the Traffic and Conversion Summit for years now. This is an event that brings together the world's smartest marketers. While I was there, I had the opportunity to connect with and interview some of the top minds in marketing.

Some of these people include J.J. Virgin, Trevor Turnbull, John Benson, and Ryan Deiss. If you want to level up your life, you have to put yourself in environments with people who are more successful than yourself. I learned so much from each of the top marketers whom I interviewed.

Moreover, the knowledge that I learned at the event helped me accelerate my business and propel my marketing efforts. I hope the strategies that I shared from these interviews helped you grow your business this year as well.

I also attended SellerCon In Las Vegas.

This is an event hosted by The Amazing Selling Machine. It is the largest Amazon seller event in the world. While I was at the event, I had the opportunity to interview my mentors and some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the e-commerce space. Some of these people include Robert Kiyosaki, Dave Asprey, Ryan Moran & Ezra Firestone.

One of my favorite things about attending SellerCon is that they have built up such a strong community of entrepreneurs. We come together every year with the goal of supporting and elevating one another in our personal and professional lives. It's a win-win.

And I got to work with Tony Robbins!

One of my top highlights of 2019 was partnering with Tony Robbins to help launch his Knowledge Business Blueprint as an affiliate. This is a course Tony created that helps people turn their knowledge into a highly profitable business. What was even more incredible is that this is the first product that Tony has launched in over 12 years. To be a part of this milestone was a dream come true for me.

Contribution

Contribution is a huge part of my work and my life. Scientific research shows that giving is a powerful pathway to personal growth and lasting happiness. I couldn't agree with this more. Contributing to the lives of others is the key to a happy and fulfilling life.

This year, together with We.org, Tatiana and I traveled to Kenya where we helped to build schools for children in need. We.org is an international development charity and youth empowerment movement. I have partnered with them in previous years to help build a school in Ethiopia.

I believe that all of us have the capacity to give to others less fortunate than ourselves. You don't have to travel to another country to make a difference in the world. Start small and figure out how you can contribute locally.

Mind/Emotions

As many of you know who follow me, Tony Robbins has been my mentor since I was a teenager. This year I was personally invited to a 4-day mastermind session with Tony and ten other entrepreneurs at his all-inclusive Namale resort in Fiji.

I was masterminding with people like Dean Graziosi, Russell Brunson, Lewis Howes, and Jenna Kutcher. It's fair to say that this was a life-changing experience. I promise that when you surround yourself with successful people you will become successful too. As Jim Rohn once famously said, “You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Choose wisely.

This was the best of Project Life Mastery in 2019.

Before you enter into 2020 I encourage you to take some time to reflect upon your year, both the highs and the lows. What are you ready to let go of, and more importantly, what are you ready to create?

Are you ready for a sneak peek of the best of Project Life Mastery in 2018?

As 2018 comes to a close, I've taken some time to sit back and reflect upon what has unfolded this past year. 

I'm so grateful for the amazing people I met, the lessons I learned, the goals that I achieved, and all of the unforgettable memories that I will never forget.

I invite you to connect with the power of every moment of every day. Find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and share those experiences with people that you love and admire. 

In the words of Dan Millman, “Life is a series of moments. The quality of attention and action that we bring to each moment determines the quality of our lives.”

Watch the video below:

Project Life Mastery had a lot of magic moments in 2018.

Before I close the chapter on another year I always take some time to engage in a process of self-introspection. I'm immensely proud of what my team and I have achieved this past year. It's so important to reflect upon your milestones. Doing so allows you to understand where you've been, where you currently are, and where you're going.

I encourage you to make it a priority to celebrate your wins, no matter how small they are. The act of celebrating changes your physiology and strengthens your psychology, thereby reinforcing your success. If you don't acknowledge your progress, it's easy to let another year pass without much thought.

Those of you who follow me know that I'm always striving to master every area of my life. Every aspect of your life is interconnected and influences one another. If you are struggling in one area, it will affect the other areas as well. For example, if you aren't doing work that fulfills you, your relationship may suffer. Similarly, if you aren't physically strong, your mental health may suffer. 

Every year I strive to grow and improve myself in different ways. I want to share with you a sneak peek of some of my 2018 highlights that made this a year to remember.

Body

When I was diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity in 2017, I was shocked. However, I took this news as a challenge to heal my body and master my health in 2018. When bad things happen in life, don't put your head in the sand. Rather, find ways to transform hardships into opportunities for growth.

This year I made it a priority to biohack my health so that I could continue operating at a peak level of performance. In early April, Tatiana and I went to Venice, California where we had the opportunity to meet Garry and Anela Lineham, who are the co-founders of Human Garage. This power couple has pioneered a holistic approach to bodywork that heals the body and brain from the inside out.

While we were there, we got to experience their treatment first hand. They developed a personalized protocol for me that consisted of a full body alignment session, movement rehab, and nutrition optimization. The results of their tests have empowered me to continue hacking my health habits so that I can maximize my well-being. 

Social/Fun

At the beginning of June, Tatiana and I sold all of our things in Canada and moved to Panama to start a new chapter in our lives. Both of us have always wanted to live in a foreign country so we decided to take the plunge. We will make Panama our home base for the next few years until we find our dream home and move to the U.S.

Shortly after we got settled in our new home, my friends at Bitcoin.com graciously invited me on a cruise throughout the Mediterranean. As part of the Bitcoin conference, Tatiana and I had the opportunity to learn from 100+ Bitcoin speakers while enjoying some epic ocean views. While I was on the cruise, I got to interview Roger Ver, who is the CEO of Bitcoin.com.

After the cruise, Tatiana and I spent 3 months traveling throughout Spain, Italy, Greece, and Singapore. This is one of the many upsides of having an online business and living the laptop lifestyle. You have the freedom to live where you want while doing work that you love.

Relationships

Proposing to Tatiana in Santorini, Greece was, by far, the highlight of 2018. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was a fairytale proposal, set in one of the most romantic places in the world. I spent weeks preparing and planning for the big day.

From the moment that I laid eyes on Tatiana I knew that she was the woman who I wanted to spend my life with. However, before I could find her, I had to do the work to be the man that she was looking for. When we met we were both very clear about what our core values were. Luckily, Tatiana and I had a similar vision for the life that we wanted to create, ensuring that we were moving together in the same direction.

This year Tatiana and I collaborated on a lot of great content together, which allowed us to grow as a couple and take our businesses to the next level. There's no better feeling than being able to grow, travel, and work, side by side with the love of your life. I'm a lucky man to have such a beautiful woman in my life. We are both super excited about our future together and all of the amazing things that we plan on creating in 2019.

Business

I'm always looking for ways to connect with other like-minded people in my industry. This is why I jumped at the chance to attend the SellerCon event in Florida. At the event, I networked with thousands of other Amazon Sellers. Even better, I got the opportunity to interview almost every speaker, some of whom included Rob Burns, Cherie Yvette, and Jeff Cohen. Their Amazon success stories were so inspiring, proving that financial freedom is possible if you are willing to believe in yourself and put in the hard work.

I was also able to collaborate with a lot of people whose work and philosophy of life I admire. Some of these people have been mentors of mine since I was in my early 20's. This year I got the opportunity to interview successful online influencers, like Dan Lok, Gary Ryan Blair, Mike Rashid, Anik Singal, and Eben Pagan.

I always make it a priority to connect with content creators that align with my vision and values. By sharing one another's work, we have been able to inspire and support one another's personal and professional growth. More importantly, some of these partnerships have transformed into long-lasting friendships.

It's been really exciting to see the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel grow so quickly. What started out as a hobby has transformed into my life's greatest work. Knowing that my content has impacted so many peoples' lives is beyond humbling. I hope that my videos continue to inspire and motivate you to become the best version of yourself. I'm looking forward to creating more motivational content in 2019 that inspires you to take action and create life, on your terms. 

Thank you for being a part of the best of Project Life Mastery in 2018.

Now, take a moment and reflect upon your year. In what ways did you grow? What lessons did you learn? If you don't feel like you've been living your life to the fullest, now is the time to change that. You are the only one that is responsible for your life. The moment that you embody this truth is the moment at which you become fully free to create the life of your dreams.

You have two choices in life. You can either be an example of what is possible or you can be a warning of who not to be. At the end of the day, success is a mindset. Once you learn, study and master the principles of success, anything is possible. If you can push yourself past the limits of your life, there will be no end to what you can achieve.

As someone once said, “Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass. It's learning to dance in the rain. I believe in you. The Universe believes in you. Now it's time to believe in yourself.

What do you want to accomplish in the New Year? Make 2019 your year to shine.

I’ve had my YouTube channel, Project Life Mastery, for 6 years now. As of today, I have 465,000 subscribers on my channel. I have reached over 1 million views per month, and over 24 million views in total. I am so humbled by the vast number of people that have been impacted by my content.

My mission as a YouTuber has always been to serve people.

In order to understand how I became a YouTuber, let's take a step back and talk about where my journey began. When I was 21 years old I started a life and dating coaching business called, Lifestyle Transformations. When I was younger I suffered from extreme shyness and social anxiety, which impacted every area of my life.

After years of self-development work on myself, I was inspired to share my story and help other men achieve the same breakthroughs that I had experienced. Through seminars, events, and one-on-one coaching, I taught men skills and strategies for how to condition their mindset and become more confident and attractive to women.

However, I reached a point at which I wanted to make a transition away from the dating coaching business because I didn't feel that it was aligned with my true purpose. That’s what prompted me to start my YouTube channel in 2012.

When I first started filming videos I felt so awkward. Sharing my story in front of a camera was outside of my comfort zone. I was afraid that people were going to judge me. However, I knew that if I put myself on YouTube, I would overcome my fears. If you want to achieve success, you need to conquer the very things that hold you back in life. Eventually, I got into a rhythm with filming and felt more confident.

I use this story as an example that may also inspire you. There are many people that decide not to use YouTube as a format for messages they want to give.

This is a mistake that you don’t want to make.

Get enough courage to go in front of a video camera and to begin sharing any of the messages you think are important.

It’s not only important when learning how to be a YouTuber, but it allows you to connect to your audience.

It’s how someone can be involved with you personally and allows you to connect in a way that is not possible in any other form.

The personalization is something you can’t find anywhere else on the Internet. Writing a blog, sending an email or even talking with others on social media doesn’t have the same impact as someone seeing your body expressions and how you are responding to your message. It shows your passion, committment and how you are trying to add value to someone else’s lives when you can create that level of personalization.

The process of personalization when you learn how to be a YouTuber is so important that it becomes the basis of your brand. I’ve found that my messages on YouTube are more effective than any area of my website or the basis of my business. It has helped me to create a connection to people around the globe that I would have never had the opportunity to do in the past.

When you look at how to be a YouTuber, you will find that it’s not only important to overcome your fear, but also to build the entire identity of your brand.

I used my YouTube channel as a self-development tool. By sharing my content, it helped me integrate the knowledge that I was already learning at a much deeper level while impacting others in the process. More importantly, being a YouTuber gave me the ability to further develop my speaking and communication skills.

At the onset, it didn't feel like anyone was watching my videos, but over time, I received more views and positive feedback from people, which gave me the motivation that I needed in order to keep going.

The greatest benefit that I have received from being a YouTuber is the number of people that I've been able to help, through my teachings. Sometimes it can be really emotional to see the impact that my videos have had on people. A lot of good has come from being a YouTuber, but there have also been challenges along the way.

Any time that you put yourself out there and express your opinions, there is always going to be a percentage of people that will judge you.

When I first started filming videos, it was hard to receive mean and negative comments from people because I grew up with the belief that, if you didn't have anything nice to say, then you shouldn't say anything at all. In the online world, this rule doesn't apply.

You need to understand that, the only reason that people judge and criticize others is that they are suffering. I've learned not to judge people based on their behaviors. All that you can do is send love and compassion to your haters.

At the end of the day, I’m grateful for every negative comment that I have received because they have made me stronger. Be authentic to who you are, no matter what people say about you online. All that matters is that you can look in the mirror and be proud of the person that you see staring back at you.

Another challenge of being a YouTuber is that sometimes your followers can have a level of entitlement, which can create a lot of demand on you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed. By nature, I am a people pleaser and I want to make everyone happy, but in the online world, this is not possible.

There are several ways that this can take place. For instance, new content that follow trends are always more important. When there are many subscribers, there is also an expectation to continue creating the new content, specifically so they can continue learning from you.

When you learn how to be a YouTuber, make sure you look at the logistics and make certain plans for your channel to work for you. While it is not possible to reach all the demands, there are also ways you can manage and work with the online world of video.

5 Steps on How to Be a YouTuber

When you start your journey on how to be a YouTuber, there are certain initiatives you can take for the process to work. These are some things I have done for an effective channel and to keep gathering followers.

1. Find Your Voice. There are millions of videos that are published every day. This means that you need to find your voice in the crowd and stand out. Make sure you are sharing content that is unique to you and that your audience is looking to hear this. I believe that this is one of the most important steps when you learn how to be a YouTuber.

2. Know What Your Audience Needs. Spend time gathering information about your audience. Who is looking for your content? What do they need? Why are they looking for you? Remember that you are creating a personal connection to others. This means that you need to be empathic and speak to their needs first.

Finding audience needs is sometimes complex and takes research. You will want to look at trends as well as general concerns with those who are looking for your video. Ask others why they would look for your products or services and what their needs are. You can also reach out to your subscribers to see if there are topics they want you to cover as you develop your content.

3. Prepare to Entertain. When you create your first YouTube videos, there may not be a tone or structure that you have. To stand out from the crowd, make sure you are able to keep the interest of those watching the video. Entertaining means that you are able to captivate and keep the attention of your audience through the entire video. It doesn’t mean you have to juggle or do something that is out of the way, but know how to keep their attention.

 4. Create a Plan.  One of the easiest ways to produce more content for YouTube is to structure a plan. Develop the types of topics you want to cover, the titles they have and how they will work with your channel and be of interest to your subscribers. As you do this, look at the goals you want to reach when you create the videos, such as how many likes, shares or subscribes you will receive.

 5. Know Your Next Steps. If you decide to learn how to be a YouTuber, then don’t stop the process there. If you put a video online, then it stays online and isn’t necessarily going to reach anyone. You also have to market and share the video that you have created. Use social media, your website, blogs or emails to spread the word about your blog. Find specific groups that you know will respond positively when you share your video with them.

There are several strategies and approaches you want to learn how to do when you are learning how to be a YouTuber.

These are all related to what your message is and how it is associated with your videos. If you are going to find your voice and connect to your audience, make sure you are passionate about what you offer.

I think this is the most important part of building a YouTube channel or promoting any product or service. This is what helps me to override any negative comments that are on YouTube.

When I look at the value I provide others and the messages I send, it overrides any other hesitation I have or any feedback I would receive from being a YouTuber.

When you are passionate about your videos and know your purpose for creating them, then you will find that creating the videos becomes easier and more effective.

I’ve found that focusing on the messages I believe provide more value to others, I am able to build more subscribers and the videos often reach a wider audience. Use this as your basis when you learn how to be a YouTuber and you will create an empowering channel for everyone involved.

At the end of the day, the benefits of being a YouTuber outweigh all of the challenges.

I would not be who I am today without my Project Life Mastery Youtube channel. I'm so grateful to all of my subscribers, who saw value in my content, and who decided to watch, like and share my videos.

I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and being a part of my mission. It's because of you that I do what I do, and it is my honor to serve you. In the words of Gandhi, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Are you ready for the 2017 highlights of Project Life Mastery? This has been a year of epic memories and unforgettable moments.

As I reflect on the last year of my life, I am so grateful for the people that I met, the experiences that I had, and the goals that I achieved. Self-reflection gives our brains the opportunity to sit back, celebrate our accomplishments, and create meaning from our experiences.

A New Year is upon us, which means a new opportunity to learn, grow and become more. This is your time to shine. What will you do with it?

Here is a snapshot of some of the 2017 highlights of Project Life Mastery:

Social/Fun

In February of this year, I had the pleasure of attending an entrepreneur mastermind snowboarding trip in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Not only did I get to connect with and be inspired by 60 high vibe entrepreneurs, but I also got to go dog sledding through Jackson Hole's wilderness.

The power of a mastermind group cannot be understated. There is no better way to advance and accelerate your goals and dreams for the future.

I also had the opportunity to host one of my own mastermind events this year. It feels good knowing that I have been able to help so many people grow their online businesses and achieve the financial freedom that they desire.

Whenever I travel, I always strive to leave with more respect and a greater understanding for the communities which I visit. Tatiana and I had the opportunity to travel to Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Muscat, and we were blown away by the richness of the Middle Eastern culture, its food, and its people.

We checked out local markets, visited museums, and rode camels, but one of the highlights of our trip was our dune buggy adventure in the desert of Dubai! Wow, that was an experience that I will always remember.

I highly recommend that you put any one of these cities on your list of places to travel to in 2018.

Mind/Emotions

In May of this year, Tatiana and I took an epic trip to the Gold Coast of Australia. While we were there, we had a lot of amazing adventures, but the Crystal Castle and Shambala Gardens blew us away. This place epitomized peace and beauty.

Set amidst lush tropical gardens, we explored a place called The Enchanted Cave, known to be the largest amethyst cave ever discovered. We also visited the famous Crystal Guardians, which are considered to be the tallest, most rare crystals in the world.

We also experienced a sacred “Kora Walk”, designed for spiritual reflection, and ended our tour of the Shambala Gardens with a sound healing bath and visualization meditation. Needless to say, we left this magical place feeling nurtured, uplifted, and expanded.

Our intention for visiting Australia in the first place was to attend Tony Robbins’ Date With Destiny Leadership program. As many of you know, Tony Robbins has changed my life in so many ways. This was the second time that I attended his Date with Destiny event. In the leadership program, they break everyone up into teams, and each team has a trainer and a senior leader. I had the honor of being a senior leader on my team, with the goal of helping and supporting my team members, as they went through their Date with Destiny experience.

Tony’s leadership program taught me powerful leadership skills that will allow me to design my destiny as a leader, both in my business and in my life. If you have yet to experience a live Tony Robbins event, I highly recommend that you put it on your bucket list. I continue to attend his seminars, over and over again, because I am committed to mastery.

As Zig Ziglar once said, “Repetition is the mother of learning, and the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”

Investing in your personal growth and development is one of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself, and I can’t think of a better person than Tony Robbins to help support you along your journey to success.

Contribution

As many of you know, transforming lives is a big part of my work and my mission in life. Tatiana and I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Ethiopia in October. Together with Imagine1Day, I helped fund and build a new school for children in Ethiopia, and we got to witness the school inauguration ceremony.

This was a life-changing experience for us. I’m so blessed that I was able to be a part of such an important moment in time. Knowing that I have made a positive impact in the world, and that I am part of a movement to empower Ethiopia’s children through education, is an honor.

Business

In August of this year, I got to be a keynote speaker at the Amazing Seller Summit in Las Vegas, where I spoke in front of 1,500 entrepreneurs and Amazon sellers. As many of you know, when I was younger, I struggled with social anxiety and shyness. Public speaking was the last thing on my “things I enjoy doing” list.

However, after years of conditioning my mindset, and stepping outside of my comfort zone, I am proud to say that I have developed the confidence and skills to be a captivating speaker. Public speaking has opened up my world, and has allowed me to connect with thousands of like-minded people, grow my business, and establish myself as an authority figure in my industry. I hope my story inspires you to find your voice as well.

Recently, I hit 400,000 subscribers on my Project Life Mastery YouTube Channel. This was a massive milestone for me! I am beyond grateful for the amount of love and support that I have received from all of you over this past year. It's been exciting to see my channel grow so quickly, and it is an honor to know that my content has impacted so many people’s lives.

Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey. As always, my goal is to continue to serve you and provide you with as much value as possible. I’m looking forward to creating more cutting-edge content in 2018 that will help you master every area of your life. Marianne Williamson said it best – “Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to serve.”

These were just some of the 2017 highlights of Project Life Mastery! What magic moments do you want to create in 2018? Don’t wait until New Years to set your goals. The best time to start is now! Be grateful for all of the lessons that 2017 brought with it, and get excited for what is to come. I’m wishing all of you a Happy New Year, filled with epic memories and unforgettable moments.

When you commit to mastery, the world becomes your oyster. I am living proof that this is true. When I made the decision to commit to mastery, my entire life transformed.

However, mastery doesn't happen overnight. There is no magic mastery pill that you can take. It is a habit that you need to condition, every day. It takes commitment, consistency, and dedication.

At the end of the day, self-mastery is a choice, and it starts and ends with you. Every time that you take a step towards becoming a better version of yourself, you are moving in the direction of your dreams.

Mastery is what sets successful people apart from the rest. In the words of Robin Sharma, “Self-mastery is the DNA of life mastery.” Are you ready to discover what life looks like when you commit to mastery?

I believe that true success starts with self-mastery, which is why I have dedicated my life and my work to it. Let me be clear – I'm not perfect by any means.

I still have bad days, but through my commitment to a never-ending quest for personal growth and learning, I am now in the driver's seat of my life. Trust me when I say it's an awesome place to be.

There is nothing that stands in my of success. Why? Because I commit to mastery. I have done the hard work to master my mind and emotions, and I want to inspire you to do the same.

Below is a sneak peek of my personal mastery manifesto; a set of guiding principles that I live by that have allowed me to master every area of my life:

I am the master of my life. I design and create my future, never settling for mediocrity or being average. I demand the most of myself and hold myself to the highest standard, comparing myself to no one.

I never stop learning and growing, always remaining humble, by learning from others and standing on the shoulders of giants. I invest in myself because I know that I am worth it.

My own self-growth is the best investment that I can ever make. I take massive action, as knowing is not enough. I always apply myself ad act on what I know. I never stop believing in myself and having faith in my vision, capabilities, and unlimited potential.

I focus on mastering the process and enjoying the journey, trusting that it will always lead to my ultimate destiny. I never give up; when a challenge or plateau arises, I always choose to step up and find the way.

I focus on mastering the fundamentals, over and over again, as I understand that repetition is the mother of mastery. I am proactive and strategic about my decisions, not reactively allowing distractions, dabbling, or the novelty of shiny objects to interfere with my purpose.

I defy the odds of what is possible. I create my own standard and determine my own future, not allowing the doubters to tell me otherwise.

I go deep in all aspects of life, as I know that mastery and the rewards lie in the depth, not on the surface.

I live the truth of who I really am and what I'm capable of, not allowing stories or excuses to limit me. I do what I say and I keep my word, for integrity and following through on my commitments builds the self-esteem and character that I pride myself in.

I focus on giving and adding value, and serving the greater good, for I know that my own needs will be met simultaneously, through meeting the needs of others.

I lead by example and walk my talk, because I know that actions speak much louder than words. I lead with my heart, with the purpose of serving and inspiring others of the unlimited possibilities of the human spirit. My caring is my ultimate power.

I live with abundance, having full faith and certainty that there's always something more easily within my grasp, instead of living with fear and scarcity. I reward and acknowledge myself constantly, as praise is the father of mastery, and whatever gets rewarded, gets repeated.

I celebrate every result and outcome, small or big, good or bad, as every result has a higher purpose and intent, allowing myself to fully trust the process of life, thereby surrendering the need for control.

I am positive and optimistic, always searching for the good and creating an empowering meaning, whatever life gives me. I live with joy and happiness today, never willing to delay my happiness to a future event, as I know that happiness is a choice, and I choose to live each day to the fullest.

I commit to mastery in all areas of my life, refusing to settle for anything less than an extraordinary quality of life.

I hope that my mastery manifesto lights a fire in your soul and inspires you to make a shift in your life. The first step towards self-mastery is commitment. Commit to mastery and let go of the limitations and the stories that are holding you back from tapping into your unlimited potential.

Peter Senge said it best, “Personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively.” Are you ready to create your own personal mastery manifesto and become a master of your life?
