Mistakes suck... We all make them. It's a part of life. The important thing to remember about mistakes is that they do happen, and when they do, as long as you handle them the right way, people will forgive, and you'll probably end up being better off because of them. Very recently, I screwed up... It affected you, quite possibly in a pretty significant way, and I'm going to fix it in just a minute. But first (because I always try to provide value in every post / email), I want to … [Read more...]

The Different Path of Academy Success
When I started Academy Success in 2012, I promised myself that I would do a few things a little bit differently than the conventional personal improvement sites out there. But it wasn't just for any reason. It wasn't because I wanted to be unconventional or because I wanted to be different for the sake of being different. I wanted to do things differently because I frequented a lot of websites that published personal improvement content, and I saw a quite a few things missing from the vast … [Read more...]
An Alternative to New Year’s Resolutions, and Academy Success in 2014
You would think with me being a self improvement author, that I'd be all about New Year's Resolutions. But honestly... I'm not all that into them. Goal setting is something I highly recommend doing on a consistent basis in order to continue to grow yourself, but to set a few random goals once a year just because that's what everyone else does... was always a bit silly to me. Instead, I like to use the turn of the New Year as a point to reflect what was accomplished in the previous year, … [Read more...]

If you're a frequent reader of Academy Success, you know I usually post about once a week on this site for you. However, what you may not know is I also write at around the same frequency throughout many other self-improvement sites across the web.
