If you had a list of ‘best-kept secrets’ [websites, books, coaches] you’d recommend, which would you include and why?
Firstly books, because they are a practical, less expensive, and convenient way to expand your horizon, gain knowledge, and spark your imagination. Also, meditation. Meditation is really the best kept secret. It develops the ability to silence your mind to tune out the world. When you do that, you tap into your full potential and ground your spriritual connection to the universe/GOD which helps to bring a lot of things into perspective and allow you to recognize what’s useful and what’s not on your journey to success.
What tips can you recommend that you’d only share with a close friend (and everyone reading this blog)?
I am the type that I will share valuable information with anyone who is seeking it. A few tips are: 1. Absolutely, positively, at all times, believe in yourself no matter what or who will doubt or test you. 2.

Don’t just focus on the end result but each moment the leads up to it.
