In today’s episode Stephen shares his journey taking his business career and utilizing that experience to become an author, and why he decided to write an inspirational novel to help people live a happier and more successful life. Stephen knew he wanted to give back to society and others through figuring out what makes happy and successful people just that, happy and successful, and how we can avoid the pit of negativity and unhappiness. Throughout his journey Stephen often doubted if he could pull this off, but he knew he had to put the self-doubt aside and really get started. Stephen shares the important role of spirituality in all of our journeys, and the power of mindset, persistence and self-belief in allowing ourselves to pursue our biggest dreams.

“Success is whatever you want it to be. Very often when we hear the word success we tend to think of financial success, we tend to think of the number of things we have in life. But that’s not what I mean. Whatever your chosen career, whatever your chosen path is, to be the best that you can be, that you feel you’re successful, you feel you’re pursuing your worthwhile objective and goal, at the end of the day that’s what success is. It’s the pursuance of a worthwhile goal.”
