We All Need a Foundation

I remember the first time I tried to do a pull-up for real. I knew that this one exercise could be the doorway to so much more, and I wanted it badly.

I hung there and held on for dear life, but no matter how much I pulled, I just couldn’t get it done. Why? Because I hadn’t established the foundation I needed. I hadn’t practiced the movements and skills that would allow me to lift myself repeatedly up to that bar and move beyond it. I was crushed, but determined to accomplish my goal.

After months spent learning the proper motions, developing core muscle, and doing many push-ups and assisted pull-ups, I rejoiced as I completed not one, but five solid pull-ups.

It’s Hard to Build A Roof on Walls Made of Paper

Throughout my life, I’ve encountered countless situations like this. Times where I wanted the quick win but realized I hadn’t yet mastered the basics. To me, it ends up feeling like I’m trying to install a roof before the walls of my house have even been built.

You’ve felt the same way, right? We all have.

In my experience, the most common areas we tend to feel this way are with those skills society seems to assume we’ve figured out, even though nobody ever really taught us. Skills like leading others, avoiding overwhelm, communicating effectively, or even persuasively presenting ideas.

That’s exactly what led me to create the Foundations of Success Online Learning Platform.

You see, I know how much you want to win, to progress, and to achieve your dreams, because I feel the same way.

It hurts when we feel unequipped and unprepared, or even lose focus on where we are or what we’re capable of accomplishing. I’ve had those exact thoughts over and over again.

I want you to know that what you’re feeling is normal. I also want you to know your dreams for yourself are much more than thoughts. They’re very real, and you absolutely have what it takes to become the person you’ve always wanted to be.


If We Want the Win, We Have to Do the Work

Now is the time in most presentations where you would expect me to tell you how easy it will be or how much money you’ll make if you’ll just do one simple thing... but that’s not reality. Most people don’t take the time to teach skills that aren’t super shiny or quick fixes because they require real work. That’s one of the main reasons most people don’t teach what I do. It’s incredibly effective, but it isn’t sexy. 

The truth is, nothing is just a click away. The good news? Taking consistent action will give you legitimate, lasting results. It will provide the foundation you need to support long-term success.

Why Are We Here?

When I realized no one was talking about the exact steps we must take to establish a foundation that will confidently allow us to achieve our dreams, I decided to start the discussion myself.

I developed the Foundations of Success™ Online Learning Platform based on the training I perfected working with thousands of people just like you. It's a format that's accessible and affordable for everyone. I’m excited to share the tools and training you need to create the life you want.

I’ve spent more than 25 years in leadership and coaching roles, and I’ve devoted myself to creating change in the lives of more than a million people with the goal of inspiring true generational change in the world.
