The purpose of this website is to help you improve by following through courageously on your dreams and ideas.
My name is Jeremy Johnson. In early 2008, I had an epiphany. The epiphany was that the obstacle holding me back was never finishing what I start. I’d built plenty of foundations (metaphorically speaking), but never actually completed an idea I had. It was creating my first website that helped me see that completing dreams, ideas, and aspirations was the key to breaking through the cycle of mediocrity I’d built up my entire life.
Like many of you, I have had moments in life where I got excited about something – but then the spark went away. Can you relate to this? You get energized for a day, a week, maybe a few weeks, but then the passion is just gone. Well, there is a way to keep that passion and have it continually get stronger and stronger. Life doesn’t have to get in the way either!
I’ll share with you my failures in life. I’ve made my share of mistakes. Here’s just a few of them:
- Was dumped by a girlfriend in high school.
- Was one of the laziest people you’d ever meet up until a few years ago.
- Abandoned a website in 2004 that started to do well due to fear of success.
- Used to be as shy and timid as they come.
- Was put on probation while in college for terrible grades.
- Was fired from my first job while in college.
I’ll share with you how I’ve been able to discover passion and success. Here’s just a few things that I’ve discovered in my own life through using the magic of taking action:
- Finding the love of my life and having a marriage to die for.
- Completing the P90X workout program and seeing real abs for the first time.
- Overcoming a challenging kidney stone surgery while still living a happy and productive life.
- Having lower back surgery and being flat on my back, but being more productive than ever before.
- Finishing my first book, an over 300 page fiction/fantasy novel.
- Learning to discover successful individuals and modeling their success – The Wizard Club.
- Discovering how to network with like minded and inspiring individuals – The Inspirational People On The Web.
You may feel like you’re in too deep a hole in life. Or you may feel like things are good enough that it isn’t necessary to complete any of your ideas. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that stagnation is the path to contamination. Life is about growing and contributing. When you complete your ideas and aspirations you contribute. And when you contribute, you add value. When you add value, you and those you help become better. This is the cycle of increase.
