Are you living out of fear or are you living out of faith?
When you look at your life, the things you tell yourself become your reality.
If you focus on negativities or failures, your life will be filled with more of what you seek.
Only those who look for the opportunities in times of adversity will come out stronger and come out on top.
Since his childhood, Stephen Scoggins has faced homelessness, over three decades of setbacks, failures, breakdowns, and losses, but that didn’t stop him from focusing on what matters and seeking out the opportunities in his adversity.
Since then, Stephen has been paying it forward, creating The Journey Principles Institute, an organization dedicated to helping others go from stuck to unstoppable in the areas of life and business.
He is also a best-selling author, award-winning entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and the creator of the proprietary Life-Mastery Framework, named “Transform U”.
In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Stephen and I discuss how he went from being homeless to owning a 100 million dollar business, how he thrived through the pandemic, and why leadership is a skill that one must learn and continuously work on.
