Back when my podcast first launched, I interviewed entrepreneur and fellow podcaster, Joel Brown, but the sound quality was so bad that it never aired. That’s why today I’m even more excited that we were able to connect one more time to have, in my opinion, an even better conversation.   From a very young age, Joel possessed an empowering mindset. Practicing his entrepreneurial skills at the young age of 7, he has long followed the principle of making money work for you – and not the other way around. Now for the last seven years, Joel has been running his motivational website, Addicted2Success (and more recently his podcast), where he encourages others to find their 10-year vision and the values that align with it.   In this episode, we deep dive into what a 10-year vision entails, how to find and create one and how faith has amplified Joel’s business and life. You don’t want to miss this inspiring and insightful talk.     --   Question Highlights: What’s one of your superpowers? What is one regret you have? What’s one of your favorite books? Who is someone who has changed your life? Can you tell us where you were before you became an influencer? What is the “formula” behind success? Where did your core value of contribution come from? Why is the Bible your favorite book now and what has shifted inside of you? How does this return to faith affect what you teach today in business compared to what you taught a couple years ago? What can we learn from Jesus and the way He ran his “business” that applies to how we run businesses today? Can you be spiritual and still desire wealth? How can you help others find their vision?     In This Episode We Talk about:   How Joel got his start as an entrepreneur Making money work for you How Joel created Addicted2Success.com Joel’s formula for success The importance of contribution The relentless pursuit of truth Why Joel stepped back into his faith The four areas to Joel’s structure to test any world view (origin, meaning, morality and destiny) Spirituality and wealth Steps to figuring out your 10-year vision and tips to check in on it Why vision and values go hand in hand And so much more…   Joel’s Thoughts…   “I never felt like there were ceilings, the sky was the limit.”   “Inspiration is way more powerful than motivation.”   “Just because it’s a personal preference doesn’t mean it’s true.”   “He didn’t come to be popular, He came to speak truth.”   “Your vision disciplines you. It chooses your friends for you. It teaches you what to say yes to and what to say no to. It gives you direction in your life.”   “I’m not big on the law of attraction; I’m big on the law of intention.”   “You have to be committed to mastery if you want to achieve a high level of success.” -- Joel Brown is the founder of the #1 motivation website, Addicted2Success.com and has achieved over 143 million views worldwide over the last 7 years.
