At the age of 22, Stephen Scoggins launched a multimillion dollar construction company while sleeping in a friend’s car. Through his hopes and prayers, success began to evolve and he felt as if he was given a second-chance opportunity to construct his life. From that point, Stephen has continued to pay it forward through his creation of The Journey Principles Institute which is an organization dedicated to helping others go from stuck to unstoppable in the areas of life and business. With respect to his endeavor, Stephen became the best-selling author of The Journey Principles with recognition from media outlets including NBC, CBS, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, Grit Daily, and more.

From sleeping in a car to constructing multimillion-dollar businesses, Stephen Scoggins is a spokesperson to individuals seeking entry to the entrepreneurial world. “What I would like to be known for is how many lives I can help to create positive changes within their lives. My heart is to create a legacy that outlives my existence by changing the lives of others for the better.” Stephen has incorporated his philanthropic beliefs into his work to empower those around him to look beyond themselves.

When it comes to optimizing my mind for peak performance, again it comes down to the simplest of techniques. The reality is your mind is only as good as you feed it. In this article Stephen shares some of his best tips to avoid stress and achieve success.

Getting Rest

When we are under a lot of pressure, our cortisol levels rise and we begin to lose interest in sleeping (as if worrying about something over and over is going to make it any better). I used to almost have to force myself to get rest. But, one thing I know for sure is that without rest your brian will not have the power it needs to create the strategies you need to move forward. Instead, you will become frustrated easier, and make more mistakes. Get rest!

Watching

When I was homeless, I could not figure out for the life of me why I could not get my brain to fire correctly. That’s when I learned that what you put in your body directly affects the performance of your brain. For example, many people turn to self medication through nicotine, alcohol, and prescriptions to numb what they are going through. They don’t realize that those very items are increasing the problems, and not helping at all. Please hear me. I am not pointing fingers — I learned these lessons by experience. What I am saying is what changed things for me was eating more protein, less carbs, eliminating sugar, and drinking superfood shakes like Living Fuel that simply make your brain fire better.

Giving Thanks

Author and speaker Chris Hogan says, “It’s hard to be hateful when you are grateful.” For some reason, the limiting beliefs of the mind are counteracted by simply expressing gratitude out loud daily. The simplest things create a spirit of resilience that gets you out of stinking thinking, and focused on creating reliable solutions. It works for me — and I am sure it will work for you.

Staying Focused

“The only way I have been able to increase focus is to decrease distractions.”

Distractions are poison to productivity. It doesn’t matter if it is ding, a dong, or constant interruptions, if you want to focus more you have to identify what they are then and remove them. When I am creating content, I do so early in the morning with my phone off, and with a small caffeine boost. In other words, I found it helpful to do my concentrated work while others are sleeping or otherwise occupied.
