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.”

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 would like to share with you my Wellness FX blood test results. From these results, I’ve received some important revelations with regards to my health.

As many of you know, one of the goals that I set for myself this year was to get comprehensive testing done. I recently got a heavy metal toxicity test done, which inspired me to dive deeper and learn more about what is going on inside of my body.

I’m not interested in settling for a subpar life. I want to constantly improve and optimize every area of my life. Self-improvement means that you are constantly learning. If you want to master your life, you need to grow and expand in order to become a better, more whole person.

In the words of Dr. Andrew Weil, “Optimum health is an ongoing process that requires awareness, knowledge, and practice.”

Blood is one of the most accurate methods of testing. In the past, I’ve aimlessly taken supplements, without really knowing if I need them and why. It’s not until you get testing done that you can truly optimize your health, and create a wellness plan that works for you and your body. Blood testing has led me to discover things about myself that I would have never known before.

I’m a very fit, active, and energetic person. Regardless, I’ve learned that, even though you may not notice anything on the outside, there may be something going on inside of your body that you are unaware of.

Although I have free health care in Canada, if I go to a doctor and ask to get comprehensive blood work, they won’t do it for me because it costs the government too much money.

I’ve been frustrated with the medical system because it isn't designed for health optimization. Western doctors only take action when there is something wrong with you. They focus on curing diseases, instead of preventing them.

Because of these reasons, I started to do research into private clinics. I came across a company, based in the U.S. called, WellnessFX, which is a breakthrough web-based service that empowers individuals to understand and improve their health.

WellnessFX provides comprehensive blood tests, phone consultations with health practitioners, and intuitive online data tracking to measure cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, and nutritional needs for health. When I was in San Diego earlier this year I decided to get my blood work done with them.

Here is a visual image of my WellnessFX blood test results:

As you can see, everything is categorized based on the different parts of the body. They have a variety of different packages that you can choose from, which you can review on the WellnessFX website. I chose the premium package, which was $925. As you can see, it is a very in-depth testing process – everything from your basic lipid panel, to LDL particles, HDL particles, fatty acids, etc.

For each area of the body, it gives me a number and a colour, as an indicator based on how I am doing, based on their average. If you want to learn more about each area of the body that the WellnessFX tests for, you can click on the word and it will give you a summary as to whether you are low, medium, or high risk. They will also give you some suggestions as to how you can better optimize your body.

My liver, kidney, blood, and bone health are good, and my thyroid, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals, and metabolic hormones are good. However, I need to make some improvements to my cholesterol (HDL), reproductive hormones, and iron levels. The most shocking result was how low my testosterone and estrogen levels are.

My WellnessFX blood test results were an eye-opener for me. I feel more empowered, and can now implement a new diet plan and health protocol into my daily life. More importantly, I can get future tests done by WellnessFX so that I can see any improvements that I make, based on their advice.

In being transparent with you about my experiences, I hope that my WellnessFX blood test results will inspire you to be proactive in the improvement and optimization of your health and well-being. Are you ready to master your health?

Do you want to know how I hit emotional threshold and changed my life? We all cope with emotions in different ways, based in part on our nature and how we are conditioned to respond to challenges in our environments.

John Medina, author of New York Times Bestseller, Brain Rules: (Updated and Expanded): 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School, says that each of us has a unique reaction to stress, which makes it difficult to quantify it.

An emotional threshold is the tipping point at which we perceive a stimulus, threatening or not, and act on it. Depending on the situation, sometimes we have the ability to effectively manage our emotions and make rational decisions, while other times our emotions overpower us, which ends up dictating our decisions.

Research consistently shows that the skill of self-regulation is necessary for reliable emotional well-being. Your emotional threshold can expand or contract throughout your life. If you want to master your life learning how to express, experience, and regulate your emotions needs to be at the top of your list. Are your emotions driving you or destroying you?

When I was in high school I was a very shy, introverted kid, who was obsessed with video games. The online gaming world satisfied my nature and provided me with a comfortable means of non-human enjoyment. I felt safe not having to interact with others in social settings, because that is what made me most anxious.

I was also a very sensitive kid, so when I fell head over heels in love with a girl and she broke my heart, I was devastated. The pain from that experience was a wake-up call. I didn’t want to live a life of suffering, so I made a decision to change my life. Between the ages of 19-21, I would force myself to go out to clubs.

I didn't want to drink and party, but rather I wanted to place myself in these uncomfortable situations so that I would force myself to engage with others and develop the social skills that I desired. I knew that if I placed myself in enough uncomfortable situations, I would eventually get comfortable being uncomfortable. Actions like these are what drove me to improve my social skills, mindset, and confidence.

I remember another experience that made a large impact on the direction that my life would take. At the beginning of my online business, I was really struggling financially. During this time, I was in traveling throughout Cambodia and one day I felt compelled to give back to the people. I gave $20 to one of the poverty-stricken children that were begging on the side of road. Once I gave the money to the child, about 30 other children surrounded me and asked for money as well.

That was a life changing moment for me because I realized that I never wanted to be in a position in my life where I couldn’t give. From that day forward, I made a decision that I never wanted to live from a place of scarcity because it had created so much pain and worry in my life. Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and so I set out on a journey to create the life that I desired.

One day I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “Enough is enough.” The pain that I was experiencing motivated and inspired me to shift the way that I was living, and take the steps necessary in order to change my life and achieve success. These were the experiences that led me to hit emotional threshold and changed my life!

Many people are victims to their emotions and believe that they have no control over how they feel. I used to adopt this scarcity mentality, but once I realized that only I am in control of my choices, everything in my life changed. Most people cover things up because they don’t want to face the reality of their lives, and they make it acceptable to settle. If you can get to the truth, you can change anything.

If you want to have a larger emotional threshold, you need to learn how to channel negative energy into something positive. Condition your mind so that you approach challenges in life with a proactive mindset. When you do, you will master your emotional state and feel more in control of your life.

In the words of Paul Wong, “The biggest challenge to self-control is emotional regulation. Successful people know how to make their emotions their servants rather than their masters.”

Who you spend time with is who you become. If you want to master your life, it is important that you surround yourself with people who inspire you to achieve greatness. Take a good look at the people who you spend time with on a daily basis.

The values that you live by need to be in alignment with the people you spend time with. Are you friends holding you back? If so, it’s time to find new friends. If your friends are lazy, unhappy, and negative, you will in turn, adopt those patterns of behaviour.

However, if you spend time with people that are motivated, hard working, happy, successful, and healthy, then you will be forced to elevate your game and attract those same things into your life.

In the words of Rachel Wolchin, “Surround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel. Energies are contagious.” Choose your company wisely.

The person that I am today is very different from the person I used to be. During my high school years, all I cared about was video games and TV, and so I surrounded myself with people who shared the same interests. As a result, I lacked core social skills that were necessary for my development.

I soon realized that my friends were holding me back from success in life. I knew that if I didn’t grow and evolve, I would get left behind, and so I made the choice to immerse myself in the world of self-development. Since that day, I've never looked back.

Who you spend time with is who you become. For a lot of people, it is easier to surround themselves with people that never ask questions or challenge their ideas, but that’s not where the real growth lies. Comfort is the enemy.

Put yourself in environments where you can maximize your growth. Learning is the best tool for success. Like Jim Rohn says, “Don’t join an easy crowd; join one that will make you grow and that will challenge you.” Unfortunately, a lot of people hesitate from putting themselves in environments like these, for fear that they will appear stupid.

In doing so, they limit their opportunities for growth. When I was first starting out, I made it a priority to surround myself with people that were more successful than myself. How? I joined mastermind groups and attended events in order to inspire and motivate myself to level up my business and life.

Whenever I go to these events, I’m the quietest person in the room, but my brain is a sponge. I soak up as much knowledge as I can. Research shows that putting yourself in new and unfamiliar situations triggers a unique part of the brain that releases dopamine, nature’s ‘make-you-happy' chemical (Patel, 2016).

The kicker is that your brain is ONLY activated when you experience new things. If you want to experience happiness and success in life, start committing to getting uncomfortable.

Who you spend time with is who you become. It is only when you surround yourself with people that are more successful than you, that you feel the most inspired to be the best version of yourself. Success breeds success. Hans Hansen said it best – “People inspire you, or they drain you. Pick them wisely.”

I would like to share with you 4 ways to build a motivation mindset. Motivation is the driving force that inspires people to take action in life. Think about a time when you felt really motivated to achieve a goal. How did it feel? How did that feeling fuel your desire to achieve it?

When it comes to making big changes in life, your desire must overrule your fear. It all comes down to your mindset. Simply expressing that you want to achieve a goal isn’t enough. Internal motivation is only one piece of the puzzle. You need to actually put in the effort, which requires mental strength.

Achieving anything of value requires hard work, perseverance, commitment, and energy. You can expect to experience setbacks and failures along your path to success. That is a normal part of life and an integral aspect of the learning process.

In the words of Joe DiMaggio, “Motivation is something that nobody else can give you…it must come from inside you, and you must possess a constant desire to do your very best at all times and under any circumstance.”

Let’s explore 4 ways to build a motivation mindset:

1. Know Your Strengths

When you have an awareness of your strengths, it helps you make smarter choices in life because it equips you with the right resources and tools that will contribute to your success. When it comes to your goals, having knowledge of your strengths gives you the confidence and motivation to take action so that you can take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.

2. Find the “Why” Behind Your Goals

Before you set out to achieve your goals, you need an empowering “why”. Dig deep and ask yourself, “Why do I want to achieve this goal?” More importantly, what will be the consequence or pain that you will experience if you do not achieve this goal?”

In the process of constructing your dream life, the important thing to be aware of is not the goals you set, but rather what motivates you towards those goals. Are you chasing what it is that you really want in life? In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

3. Enjoy the Process

Are you truly enjoying your life or do you find that you are constantly stressed out about everything? So many people are focused on the destination alone that they forget to enjoy the process of getting to where they want to go.

Goals aren’t all about the end result. If you want to be consistent over the long-term, you need to find ways to enjoy the process. In his book, The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness, Jeff Olson says, “Here is the amazing thing—and I’ve seen this happen so many times, yet it never ceases to fill me with awe: when you set your goals, life has a way of rearranging itself, a series of events starts in motion that you could never have predicted or planned, to get you there.”

If you want to master your life, don’t attach yourself to outcomes. Slow down in order to achieve more. Ernest Hemingway said it best – “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

4. Stay Hungry

Goals give us a sense of direction, but when life takes a turn, it may mean that your goals have to change with it. Willpower and the motivation to succeed are at their peak during the beginning stages of your journey towards the achievement of any pursuit.

The trick is to stay hungry and keep your momentum flowing. A great way to stay connected to your vision is to adopt a ritual that reminds you of why you set out to achieve a goal in the first place.

Take 5 minutes every day and journal about your goals. When you write your goals down, it’s like planting a seed. If you water that seed every day, you will be amazed at how quickly your dream life can manifest into your reality.

Building a motivation mindset is essential for achieving success in life. Become mindful of doing the very things that will support you in the achievement of your goals. Never forget that your mind is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal for supporting your highest aspirations in life.

Take it from Denise J. Hart, who said, “To get what you want in life you must develop the ability to think in the way that will support your goals and dreams.” When you master your mind, you master your life.

I recently had a heavy metal toxicity urine test done and I want to share my results with you. They were shocking, to say the least. Heavy metal toxicity is the accumulation of heavy metals, in toxic amounts, in the soft tissues of the body.

Taking care of my health is my highest priority. Oftentimes, people don’t value their health until sickness and disease ensues. You need to be proactive, rather than reactive. If you want to master your life, you need to adopt healthy habits. Creating new habits take time and commitment, but if you want to live a long and happy life, you need to invest in your health.

In the words of Heather Morgan, “Every time you eat or drink, you are either feeding disease or fighting it.” Is health a top priority in your life? If not, what actions can you take today in order to put it closer to the top?

One of my goals this year was to get a lot of testing done. I’m a big fan of testing because it gives you a more accurate picture of what is going on in your body. A lot of people blindly go about living their lives. They may do cleanses or take supplements, but they aren’t doing these things with a purpose.

I decided to do a heavy metals toxicity urine test after being inspired by Tony Robbins, who recently found out that he had heavy metal poisoning, in particular from mercury. It ended up really affecting his health. Heavy metal toxicity is no joke.

Let me share the test process in more detail. I did an EDTA/DMPS chelating agent test. They put an IV into your vein, the chelating agent goes into your bloodstream, and metals end up binding to it. Heavy metals hide in our tissues.

Our body is always cleansing, but by using a chelating agent, it helps you identify what is going on inside of your body. You then collect your urine for the next 6-12 hours and send it to a lab. When the results are in, they send you the report via email.

The results were shocking. As you can see, I have very high levels of mercury, lead, and gadolinium in my body. With regards to mercury toxicity, it could be from certain fish that you eat, like tuna or swordfish. Another reason could be from mercury fillings in your teeth because the vapours get absorbed into your body. If you are getting a mercury filling replaced with a ceramic one, it can also be very harmful in how they remove it.

Lead can be found in lead-based paints and pipes, especially in older buildings. Lastly, gadolinium is a contrasting agent that is used for MRI scans. My nickel, thallium, and uranium levels were high, but I need to do more research on the causes of those metals.

This has been an eye-opening experience for me. I’m so grateful that I am now equipped with this information. I feel empowered knowing that there is something going on in my body that I can do something about. I want to motivate you to invest more time in your health. Your body is a gift and you need to treat it as such. If you want to master your life, you need to master your health.

Equip yourself with the tools that will allow you to take care of your health, before it’s too late to do so. Jack Lalanne said it best – “Your body is your most priceless possession…so go take care of it!” I hope my test results inspire you to take better care of yourself, in every area of your life.

Are your beliefs limiting you? If so, it’s time to make a change. The biggest barrier to success in life is limiting beliefs.

We all have limiting beliefs that hold us back from achieving our goals and dreams.   Some examples of limiting beliefs are – “Im not good enough”, “Life is unfair”, “I attract back luck.”  The problem is that most people aren’t consciously aware of their limiting beliefs and so they don’t take the necessary steps in order to change them.

Your beliefs have a direct influence on your behavior.  In order to remove negative beliefs, not only do you have to identify and acknowledge them, but you also have to take action.  Words are powerful.  Know that you are exactly where you are in life because of the beliefs that you hold about yourself and the world.

In the words of Robert Anthony, “You can have anything that you want, if you are willing to give up the belief that you can’t have it.”  Are your beliefs limiting you?

Human beings are wired for security. We create limiting beliefs because they make us feel safe, but they keep us trapped in a comfort zone. This perceived “comfort” is an illusion.  A comfort zone is a nice place to hang out, but nothing ever grows there. You are either growing or youre dying.

People are afraid of change because they don’t want to fail. Yes, the unknown can be scary, but do you know what’s even scarier? Regret.  The reality is that everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear. The first step is making the choice to take the plunge and make a change.

There was a time in my life when I struggled with limiting beliefs. I was broke, unhappy, shy, stuck, and alone. It wasn’t until I made the choice to condition my mind to focus on the positive, that I was able to make a change in my life.

Scientists have identified specific brain regions involved in the process of emotional regulation. The latest research shows that conscious training of the ‘executive control' region of your brain makes it possible to reshape the architecture of your brain and rewire the neural pathways of your mind (Bergland, 2016).  A morning ritual is a great way to train your brain to self-regulate negative thinking and focus on the good so that you can achieve your goals.

What do you want to achieve in your life?  Life is constantly evolving and changing, and so will you. It’s important that you have a vision for each area of your life and that you set specific goals for each area. If your vision changes, that’s great. That’s the beauty of life.

I have adapted the vision for my goals as Ive grown and become more mature. I am where I am today because of other people before me who had the courage to put themselves out there and share their success.

Our beliefs control how we live our lives. People who lead successful lives have chosen beliefs that empower and support their vision.  In the words of Tony Robbins, “Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”

Are your beliefs limiting you? Take action and master the limiting beliefs that are holding you back from living the life you desire.

Do you want to know the secret to success?  Stop blaming! Take responsibility for your life.

The word responsibility is comprised of the words response and ability, meaning “the ability to respond.” If you want to master your life, you need to realize that you are in the driver’s seat.

When you take responsibility for your life, you are telling the world that you aren’t a victim. We all have excuses and reasons for blaming external sources for our problems.

In the words of Einstein, “Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility.”

Making excuses instead of taking responsibility for one's actions is the hallmark of people who fail to succeed in their personal and professional lives. Sometimes our B.S. is so good and believable that not only do we start to believe its validity, but other people buy into it as well. You need to understand that where you are right now in your life is a direct result of all the little decisions that you’ve made along the way.

Every time that you blame or B.S. yourself, you are giving away your power. When you do so, you don’t have any ability to change your current circumstance in life. This inferior mindset results in a life of pain and suffering.  You are 100% responsible for your life. Take ownership.

If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see, make a change. It’s that simple. You need to get honest with yourself. How are you not showing up for your life? As Tony Robbins states, “The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.”

Getting honest isn’t easy. Sure, it doesn’t always feel good to take responsibility for unfortunate events that happen in your life. Holding onto resentment or blame satisfies the negative voice inside of your head that says, “Why me?” or “Life isn’t fair.” You may not always have control over events that happen to you, but you can always determine how you will react to them.

Learn how to master your emotions so that they don’t end up mastering you. People who take responsibility for their lives find the good in failure; they view an unfortunate event as an opportunity to grow. They are proactive, not reactive.

It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom and admitted to myself that I was blaming the world for my problems that everything changed in my life. I’ve studied so many great leaders in the personal development realm, like Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, and Brian Tracy.

They have taught me that the first step to success in life is knowing that everything you are or ever will be is entirely up to you. Make intelligent decisions that move you closer to what it is that you want because it is the choices that you make every day that determine your destiny.

You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose to take action and adopt a positive attitude.  You need to condition your mind for success. Stop blaming! Take responsibility for your life and change your story.  Therein lies the ultimate freedom. Steve Maraboli said it best, “Your life begins to change the day you take responsibility for it.”
