35 Proven Ways to Make Change Easier

November 27, 2018

So you want to change your life. However, most attempts to change our behavior are unfortunately unsuccessful. A study in Facts and Fictions in Mental Health conducted by John Norcross of the University of Scranton found that only 19% of people who made a New Year’s resolution to make a change related to behavior successfully kept up the change after a two year follow up.

Change is hard. I list 22 reasons why change is hard here.

According to Stanford researcher Dr. BJ Fogg, creator of the Fogg Behavior Model, the best way to change behavior is to make the desired change easier. This article doesn’t promise to make change easy, but it can at least make it easier.

22 Reasons Why Change is Hard

November 25, 2018

Most of us have something in our lives or about ourselves that we’d like to change, even if it’s just something small. If not, we should.

But we’ve all heard and seen it before and have probably experienced it firsthand. Change is hard. People hate change. People are resistant toward change. I learned this after running a survey in which 390 people answered a question about change: what they would like to change in their lives and where would they start?

The thing is that’s not true for all change. Many of us will willingly and often joyfully embrace change like getting a new phone, moving to a new house, getting married, and having kids. Why is that? Why are some changes welcomed with open arms and “easier” for us than other changes?

It’s because it’s the changes in our behavior that are hard.

In this article, I list 16 reasons why change is hard. First, let’s look into the five stages of change.

The Top 25 Most Recommended Books by Successful People

November 19, 2018

Most successful people will credit much of their success, knowledge, and skills to reading.

When Elon Musk is asked how he learned to build rockets, his response is simple.

“I read books,” he allegedly likes to say.

Reading books is essential for the success of an entrepreneur or even individual, however, what is just as important is reading the right books. Entrepreneurship is a skill. And success can be more easily reached through education.

After sifting through hundreds of book and reading lists from successful entrepreneurs and leaders including those of Fortune 500 and INC 500 and CEOs such as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Larry Page, and Warren Buffet, I have compiled this list of the most recommended business and self-improvement books.

How to Effectively Seek Useful Advice, Knowledge, and Information

October 9, 2018

Although most of don’t like receiving unsolicited advice, we will still often seek out advice. Especially if we’re struggling with overcoming an obstacle or reaching a goal. Whether it’s from friends, family members, therapists, psychics, life coaches, books, blogs, videos, or podcasts. This goes not only for advice but any knowledge, information, or data we can apply to our own lives. And this is a great thing.

But there’s so much out there though. A lot of it can be contradicting. And there’s a lot of junk too.

We obviously want to make the best decisions for our lives and well-being. Most of us don’t have a system for weeding through good and bad information. So, how can we seek advice and information effectively?

I’ll also be sharing why the advice is bad as well as better advice instead. This article has little to do with the responses received.
