Hi, I’m Eric! Doer of things and weaver of words, I’m just like you trying to figure my way through this world. Let’s all learn and grow together!<\/p>\n

My Story<\/h2>\n

Growing up, I was in a weird spot mentally with few friends, terminally online, and no sense of direction or ambition in life. All of that changed when I was introduced to some network marketing huns, failed miserably at the network marketing side hustle I participated in, but fell in love with the “invest in yourself” aspect of it all.<\/p>\n

Since those days, I’ve dedicated over 10 years to writing about self-help (and other topics as a freelance writer) and continuing to challenge my beliefs on the self-help industry and what it takes to genuinely grow. And this leg of my journey has led me here, passing along my wisdom and meeting more interesting people along the way.<\/p>\n

My Values & Beliefs<\/h2>\n

Physically or mentally, as long as you are taking action, you can solve your problems. The question is will it take a few months or will it take even longer?<\/p>\n

Growth is like a ripple effect; it stretches far beyond what we would expect. It’s never done solo or in isolation. So let’s make our impact as good as we can.<\/p>\n

We all have flaws, and that’s what makes our journeys and takes so interesting and unique. Those things aren’t vices, as the industry loves to suggest, but rather things that can give our lives some extra spice to it.<\/p>\n

My Approach<\/h2>\n

I’m not your traditional self-help guru. I’m a\u00a0weird\u00a0<\/em>one. I won’t pretend to have all the answers or that my solutions are flawless. They’re not. I’m just a guy on the internet who writes a bunch.<\/p>\n

But I can promise you if you’re willing to work, I’ll happily work alongside you to help you navigate through this mess. All with the patience of a monk, an understanding of who you are, and a smile on my face.<\/p>\n
