I would like to share with you my experience speaking at the Amazing Seller Summit in Las Vegas in front of 1500 entrepreneurs and Amazon sellers.

I had the pleasure of speaking on the topic of, “How to use YouTube in order to promote and sell any product.”

I wasn’t always fond of public speaking. Those of you who follow me know that, when I was younger, I was very shy. The idea of speaking to anyone, let alone thousands of people, gave me extreme social anxiety.

I am a big believer in the power of stepping outside of your comfort zone and doing things that scare you. Through a lot of experience, I have been able to develop the confidence and passion that is required in order to become a captivating speaker.

In the words of Rob Brown, “If you can speak, you can influence. If you can influence, you can change lives.”

After speaking at the Amazing Seller Summit in Las Vegas, I had an opportunity to interview some inspiring entrepreneurs who have had massive success in the online business world.

I spoke with my good friend, Ryan Moran, who is the CEO and Host of Freedom Fast Lane, a podcast that helps high achievers build businesses and then invest the profits.

Ryan has built and sold many successful online businesses. When he was 15 years he worked at a coffee shop, where one of his customers gave him a copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!.

In that book, he learned one thing that changed his life forever – that rich people acquire assets. He started his first business in college and made his first million as an affiliate marketer.

He got to a point in this life where he wanted to build a brand, and affiliate marketing allowed him to acquire the cash flow that he needed in order to do so.

He took the skills that he learned as an affiliate marketer and built a series of successful physical product brands. To this day, he believes that the most predictable path that you can take in order to create a 7-figure business is by building a physical products brand.

I also had the pleasure of interviewing Manny Coats, the Founder and Host of the AMPM podcast, which provides Amazon FBA and private label selling tips.

His journey started in finance, however he soon realized that he had a passion to travel and create financial freedom, and knew that he wouldn’t be able to make that dream a reality on the salary that he had.

Manny has been involved in online businesses since 1999 and created the world’s largest and most visited humor site called, TwistedHumor.com. In 2013, he started a mobile game development company, called Mobile Games, and in 2015, he got into the Amazon private label business and launched his AMPM podcast.

Within 9 months of selling on Amazon, he had made over $1 million dollars. He is also the Founder of Helium 10, an Amazon keyword research software tool that helps sellers build a successful Amazon FBA business in order to create the financial freedom that they desire.

Overall, my experience speaking at the Amazing Seller Summit in Las Vegas was a success! I met a lot of inspiring entrepreneurs and celebrated in style with my girlfriend by attending an awesome show called Le Rêve, which I highly recommend you check out the next time you are in Las Vegas.

I cannot express enough how powerful public speaking can be for networking with like-minded people, developing confidence, establishing yourself as an authority figure, and growing your business.

Don’t ever take for granted the power of the spoken word. It has done amazing things for my career and my life, and it can do the same for you. As always, I hope that my story inspires you to overcome your fears, harness the power of your voice, and share your message with the world.

I would like to share with you my journey with overcoming shyness and social anxiety. In my early 20’s I was a very shy, insecure person. I spent a lot of time in front of my computer playing video games, because I was too afraid to interact with people. As a result, I didn’t have any friends. Being alone made me feel safe.

Have you ever experienced shyness and social anxiety? If so, you aren’t alone. There is nothing wrong with being shy; it is a common reaction to have when you are exposed to unfamiliar situations or people.

However, those that suffer from extreme bouts of it often experience social anxiety, where they are unable to function in the simplest of social situations, for fear of being negatively judged and evaluated by others. These situations can cause people to experience significant emotional distress. I can relate.

The great news is that overcoming shyness and social anxiety is possible. You don’t need to live in fear anymore. It all starts with overcoming your self-limiting beliefs. Are you ready to take back control of your life?

While it’s true that a lot of instances of shyness and social anxiety arise from real-life situations, those feelings are perpetuated due to a fear of fear itself. Instead of being anxious about the situation itself, a person is now afraid of the uncomfortable feelings that are associated with it.

This creates a negative perpetual cycle, resulting in more worry and anxiety about future events that appear outside of one’s control. If you want to break this cycle, you need to control the negative limiting beliefs that create those feelings of anxiety in the first place. In the words of Robin Sharma, “The fears we don’t face become our limits.”

Shyness and social anxiety don’t define who I am as a person, and it isn’t who you are either. By holding onto that identity, or belief system, you are accepting that definition as fact.

A belief system is literally B.S. If you want to eliminate a limiting belief, you first need to identify what that belief is. For example, if you had an experience where you were made fun of in a social setting, based on this evidence, you may create a belief that you aren’t worthy of connection.

The question remains, “Why does your subconscious mind want to keep your limiting beliefs, even though you consciously know that these beliefs have a negative effect on your life?” Because limiting beliefs keep people in a zone of comfort; they prevent you from doing things that are deemed, ‘unsafe’.

I believe that overcoming shyness and social anxiety starts with getting out of your comfort zone. This is what worked for me. To this day, I am constantly facing my fears head on, and doing things that allow me to grow and evolve.

Step back and think about the negative consequences of not overcoming shyness and social anxiety. Ask yourself, “What is my life going to look like 5 years from now if I continue down this path?” The problem is that a lot of people don’t want to face their greatest fears in life because it doesn’t feel good.

Yes, the feeling of being uncomfortable can be painful at first, but the reward is worth it. Personal transformation isn’t easy, but I promise you that the truth will set you free. When you master your mindset, anything is possible.

If you aren’t living in alignment with your higher self, it’s time to make a change. Your highest self is the version of yourself that you aspire to; one that you view as happy, confident, and powerful.

The next time you are faced with a challenging situation in life that makes you feel anxious, ask yourself, “What would my highest self do?” Your highest self doesn’t make room for self-limiting beliefs, and neither should you.

The way that you change anything in your life is by making a decision. If you aren’t living in alignment with your higher self, it’s time to make a change.

Overcoming shyness and social anxiety is possible. The way that you change anything in your life is by making a decision. Decide to rid yourself of everything that holds you back from being in your power. That is how you master your life.

Making the decision to not allow shyness and social anxiety to run my life opened up my world to infinite possibilities. I finally felt free to become the person that I desired to be, and so can you.

Don’t let labels, like shyness and social anxiety define who you are. Those are self-limiting belief systems that only hold you back in life. Brian Tracy said it best – “You begin to fly when you let go of self-limiting beliefs and allow your mind and aspirations to rise to greater heights.” Believe in yourself and think empowering thoughts.

Today, I have a powerful motivational speech for you. If you want to achieve your goals and dreams in life, you need to wake up and go beyond your comfort zone.

We all have a zone of comfort, which is comprised of a consistent set of beliefs and behaviours that we’ve grown accustomed to. According to Alan Henry, the editor in chief of Lifehacker, “Your comfort zone is neither a good or bad thing. It's a natural state that most people trend towards.”

When we live in a comfort zone, we feel safe, but the problem with this place is that nothing ever grows here. Life becomes predictable. If you don’t go beyond your comfort zone, you will never be able to become the person that you aspire to be. Growth and comfort do not co-exist.

It’s time to wake up and go beyond your comfort zone. In the words of Eleanor Roosevelt, “Do one thing every day that scares you.” What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

At one point in my life, I was stuck in my comfort zone. I always knew that the life that I desired was possible, but I didn’t take action. I was distracted, I was a dabbler, and I was fearful.

In order to find some clarity, I decided to write a letter to my future self about my goals, dreams, and aspirations. In that letter, I asked myself:

“Stefan, what are you afraid of? I’m your hopes and goals. I wanted you as much as you wanted me, but you left me with no choice. I simply must move on. Please do not attempt to talk your way out of this. The years of indecision and lack of discipline tells me everything that I need to know. If you really wanted me, you would have found a way for us to be together. I’m so tired of seeing my hopes soar so high, just to see them dashed. I simply must move on.”

This was a letter that changed my life. It really opened me up to doing what was necessary in order to change my life. Sometimes you need to look in the mirror and have an honest conversation with yourself.

Unfortunately, a lot of people tell themselves stories about why they can’t do something, and these negative beliefs keep them stuck in a cycle of despair.

Someone once said that, “The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie.” If you want to change your life, you need to get real with yourself. The truth will set you free.

If you want to have more, you need to become more, which is why you need to put yourself in challenging circumstances and get out of your comfort zone. There is no better way to conquer your fears. To this day, I am constantly pushing my limits and engaging in actions that allow me to grow.

In the words of Eddie Harris Jr., “The sooner that you step away from your comfort zone, the sooner you will realize that it really wasn’t all that comfortable.” Everything that you want in life is on the other side of fear. It's time to wake up and go beyond your comfort zone. Are you ready?

I have some exciting news! Warren Buffett has revealed his best investment advice. Known to be worth $75 billion dollars, he is one of the most successful self-made investors in the world.

Warren is a role model for any entrepreneur, investor, or business person that aspires to achieve financial greatness. Referred to as, “The Oracle of Omaha”, Warren Buffett had an entrepreneurial mindset from an early age. As a young adult, he was always looking for innovative and creative ways to earn money, which is how he made a net worth of $6,000 at the age of 15.

Many of the most successful people in the world attribute their success to sheer determination and commitment to their goals. While this speaks true, Warren Buffett offers a different perspective. Although the end goal of success usually equates to making money and getting rich, it isn’t what matters most in life.

You may be wondering, “How does one man become so successful?” The answer may surprise you. Are you ready to learn how to invest, the ‘Warren Buffett way?’

Warren Buffet believes the single best investment that he ever made was a lifelong commitment and curiosity for learning. In his own words, “Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.”

When Warren Buffett was young he was terrified of public speaking. He wanted to master this fear, so he attended a Dale Carnegie public speaking class that ended up changing his entire life. Even to this day, he has his public speaking diploma hanging on his wall in his office.

You never know how one book, course, or seminar can change your entire life. Live with that positive anticipation that there is always something good that will come from having an optimistic mindset.

Chris Munger, the Vice Chairman of the Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, once said this about his colleague:

“Warren Buffett has become one hell of a better investor since the day I met him, and so have I. If we had been frozen at any given stage, with the knowledge we had, the record would have been much worse than it is, so the game is to keep learning.”

If you want to become the best that you can be, you need to adopt the mindset of a lifelong learner. I attribute most of my success in life to my love of learning. It has brought so much joy to my life, and it has allowed me to grow and evolve my online business at a much greater speed. If you look at my May 2017 Monthly Goals Report, you will see how much I invest in myself.

Who I am today is vastly different from the person that I was many years ago. I was a shy, depressed, insecure teenager who was broke and struggling, BUT I was committed to investing in myself.

If I wanted to master all areas of my life, I knew that I had to stop doing what I had always done. I found mentors, read books, attended seminars, went to workshops, and created networking events, all with the purpose of learning. I realized that what one man can do, another man can do.

Finally, Warren Buffett also believes in the power of investing in an index fund, otherwise known as a type of mutual fund with a portfolio constructed to match or track the components of a market index, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500).

From a historical standpoint, the stock market has always gone up, no matter what is going on in the world. The beauty of index funds is that they allow you to own 500 of the biggest companies in the U.S. There is no better way to create a simple plan for building your retirement savings.

How much time and money do you invest in yourself? The reality is that the more you learn, the more you earn. When asked to reflect on Warren’s success, Charlie Munger said, “Warren is one of the best learning machines on this earth. The turtles who outrun the hares are learning machines. If you stop learning in this world, the world rushes right by you.”

If you are already investing in yourself, awesome. If you have yet to start, I hope Warren Buffett’s investment advice has inspired you to do so. It all starts with you.
