People ask me how I’m able to accomplish so many goals. I’ve seen a lot of dreams come to fruition. But many people have a hard time putting their dreams to work and actually accomplishing them. I’ve found this one tip helps me tremendously. It’s something I don’t do. The tip is this: Never add an…
I’m not going to lie. The first idea that pops in my head is usually really good. Follow me. In order for an idea to get past my own insecurities and my brain’s filter, it has to be a pretty decent idea. I hate looking like I have bad ideas, so I instantly squash those.…
Have you ever noticed some people seem to have all the adventures? Your average day involves a boring breakfast, getting gas at the station, and a regular workday. Yet they have some amazing story to tell each night. What gives them the adventurous life while you seem to have a boring one? I’ve found adventure…
Last Friday I put the final period on a new book I’m writing, then sent it in to my publisher to see if they like it. The working title is Overcoming the Critic. The book is about dealing with critics and how to ready yourself so they don’t affect you—so they don’t discourage you and keep you…

You probably know, if you read my blog frequently, that I have a book coming out September 1st. It’s a devotional for creative minds. (Seriously, why haven’t you pre-ordered it yet?) But you probably don’t know I have two other books in development. One book, Church Marketing Sucks is partnering with me on to publish.…
