About




Hey there!

I wrote this bio for one reason. What is it? Simple: The only emails and blogs I look forward to reading are from people who I feel I know personally.

There’s nothing worse than a stranger dropping stuff in your inbox or clogging up your RSS reader

Listen. information alone won’t help you succeed with changing your life. Why? Well, there is far too much of it. So besides getting information, you need to be able to get that information from a reliable source.

In other words…

Someone you trust!


What I discovered was when I would get on someone’s email list or RSS reader, I’d usually end up unsubscribing simply because I didn’t trust their information…. or them! To me, they were nothing more than a name on my computer screen.

Who was that person on the other end? What did they stand for, and what they against? Why are they in personal development? What’s their story?

With that in mind let me share a little bit about myself, so I’m not just another name on your screen. I am doing this because I truly feel I have some outstanding strategies that could change your life, and I am going to do everything I can to get you to read about them, and more importantly…

Act on them!


I got into the online personal development field around August 2006 when I started the blog Change Your Thoughts – Change your life.  However, I had been having a personal revolution for the last 20 years.  I was hopelessly self conscious, quite a serious person and didn’t really know who I was or what I stood for.

So much so that I wanted to end my life at the age of 19/20, I wrote about it here

Then I came across a bruised a battered book in a second hand bookshop.  The book was called ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill, I’m sure you’ve heard of it.

That book was the turning point in my life, my awakening, it showed me that my thoughts are my own creations.  If my thoughts were my own creations then my feelings were my own creations, and if my feelings were my own creations then my behaviour and actions were my own creations….A huge revelation.

Of course, I didn’t change over night. I am continually learning, adjusting and changing my life to suit myself, my wife and my family, but the thing is…..

It’s all my choice!


I tried a lot of things in life to find my true calling. After my awakening I knew that the path i needed to take was to help others and help them stop getting so down about themselves that they feel life is not worth living.  I went into nursing in 1994 and was going to become a mental health nurse, however ‘The Awakening’ also found a new self confidence, and friends, partying, alcohol and a small amount of drugs began to take their toll and I dropped out of nursing college in 1996.

I had found that I did have self belief, I was a ‘great guy’ who cared about others in life and I could pretty much do anything I wanted to when I put my mind to it.  University beckoned, which is something I had dreamt of when I was leaving high school, but never believed I could do it.

As i worked in a call centre, I attended university in Glasgow from 1996 – 2000 and gained my BSc in Psychology, something I am really proud of.  I didn’t take it any further as I only wanted to prove to myself and my childhood beliefs that I could do it.

I was still learning more and more about myself and attended a seminar by Jack Black, not that Jack Black – A Scottish personal development speaker who was running very popular courses called MindStore.  I looked at him on stage and turned to my friend and said…

That’s what I’ll be doing…


I continued to work full time in a call centre, moving up the ladder getting more money, but I wasn’t happy.  So I changed to working as an homeless worker and then addiction worker which was a lot less money, but I was a hell of a lot happier.

I didn’t know how, I didn’t know when, I just knew that teaching others about the lessons I had learned in life in such a direct way was the way I needed to go.

I started my blog in August 2006 and started trying to market it, very poorly I might add.  and it didn’t really do anything for a few years.  After 1 year I had around 900 subscribers to the blog, but I was getting my message out to others and was getting fairly good feedback.

Then it was time to start making money.  I realised that the internet was a powerful way to bring in extra income and started focusing on marketing self help products, and the blog became a side line, something I loved doing but didn’t see it as a way to get what i wanted in life.

After making around $10,000 – $12,000 gross per year for a few years, it wasn’t enough to help me do it full time.  I work full time as an addiction worker helping others who have drug and alcohol addictions and it’s something I love doing and something that keeps me from going full time online, but eventually something’s got to give and it looks like the net will win.

I kept on thinking about the blog and how much I loved writing for it, and how much I loved connecting with the readers on the site.

I sold all my micro-businesses and decided I wanted to get serious about my readers and my blog.

If I was going to do this I had to focus my attention on it!


In 2009 I had 3000 subscribers.  When I focused on my readers, asked them what they wanted and wrote for them my popularity grew, and today I have 15,500 subscribers to the blog.

I found that when i asked readers what they wanted the money would also come from making products such as How to Become an Advanced Early Riser which has brought in over 200 sales since it was released in October 2010.  There have been flops such as my Alter your Jacket which I spent 6 months on and it sold around 20 copies, but I learned so much from that flop and it has become one of my biggest lessons in the online world…

Don’t make what YOU think will be good, produce something that your readers want and need!


Today I have written 4 books, 5 guides been interviewed countless times for radio, internet shows and am working on one of my biggest projects to date, a free 28 day course called Mind Alchemy

I have come a long way since that night over 22 years ago.  I have realised the importance of family, the importance of being true to yourself and the importance of listening to others.  I have met the most wonderful woman, have two amazing sons and continue to learn, excitedly, that the journey of life is never ending.  The journey is exciting, it’s sometimes frustrating, sometimes you feel like giving up on the dream, but then something happens to tell you that you are on the right path.

My journey has seen me:

  • Quit smoking
  • Gained a BSc in Psychology
  • Meet, marry and continue to adore the woman of my dreams
  • Raise two sons who are turning into fine, handsome young men
  • Started waking early (4.30-5am every day)
  • Written 4 books
  • Written 5 guides
  • Bought the house of my dreams
  • Became the UKs #1 personal development blogger
  • Collaborated with some of my online heroes

I have realised many of my dreams in life, simply by following this basic 3 step process…

Change your thoughts, change your beliefs, and take action on the things you want in life!

My journey has changed me in ways I can never imagine.  I overcame my fears along the way, so now I am more confident in myself. I also learned how to handle failure, so now I am more successful in whatever I do.

And most importantly, I get to help others.

When I used to work in the call centre , I never had anybody telling me , “Steve, that business communications package you arranged to install really changed my life”.

Never!

But I’ve had people write me telling me that my information products have changed their life.

It enhanced the quality of their life. It has made them a better person, just as my journey has made me a better person.

So was that journey worth it, am I on the right path to realising my dream of helping others.

Yes!

Would I change any part of the path I have been walking? Absolutely not, the path I have walked has led me to you, the person who is reading this story just now, and for that I cannot begin to imagine the millions of thoughts that had to be thought to make that happen.

    Hi Steven,
    I really like your message.
    I agree that no matter what we have experienced or the challenges we face, we truly can live a happy life. All those experiences that we don’t necessarily enjoy are meant to teach us.

    Love your blog.
    Thanks so much for all you do.
    I’ll be back.

  9. Donna says:

    I just happened to come across this, and, in a way, I can relate to it. I am going through a phase right now, and have been for a while, where I am extremely anxious and lacking confidence when I am out and about. For example, walking to the shops on my own and seeing someone I know, I find it really hard to smile at them, and sometimes, I will cross the road to avoid having to do this. I’ve always disliked the way I look, never been happy with who was staring back at them in the mirror and I think it has stemmed from that. I recently left my job, after realising it wasn’t making me happy – I was breaking down in tears most days, if not every day….something that has not happened to me before. I have now made the right career path and I am looking forward to my future – apart from this anxious/lacking confidence/do not believe in myself thing. I also believe that when people look at me, I always think that they are thinking horrible things and somehow convince myself of this – again, something I hate. I dont know what to do to change it, please, if you have any tips, i’d really appreciate it, i just want to find me again and be happy.

  10. Jan says:

    I discovered your blog a couple months ago, and have found it to be uplifting, practical and motivating. I’m one of those people who got laid off in the recession and am truly excited about re-inventing myself in my own business. This is the perfect time for me to read your blogs. Thank you.

    Hello steven,

    An ignorant person has its room to live. It was just an accident to open your blog when it was linked to something I was looking for – that time the “kaizen”. I saw and read your astonishing articles and started appreciate how wonderful to be in this blog…I then started sharing your articles to my friends and all of them really like it so much. They said keep on sending messages like these everyday. Congratulations. Truly you are inspiring.

  14. Brendan says:

    Hi Steven,

    What a brilliant blog. You offer so many valuable and informative articles. It is truly a great source of inspiration. I will certainly be visiting on a regular basis. Keep up the amazing work!

    Brendan

  15. just stumbled on your blog and this is exactly the type of stuff i love to read. i had a long talk with my bf tonight about life and how we have always been the underdogs and how we can change that. can’t wait to read your stuff until the sun comes up again…

  16. Silvia Justina Radesky says:

    Well said Steve. Love your blog, is easy to understand your written. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing and to keep my spirit high.

  17. Marty says:

    Hey Steven, I now know I sensed a connection to your blog and your writings. We share a somewhat similar career path in that I also work in a drug treatment agency full time. It’s tough at times but incredibly rewarding. You have inspired me to tell my own story. Some of my older blogs going back to 2006 tell some of it, but maybe its time to consolidate that into a concise article. I’ll do that for the same reasons you have. Being open and honest about all aspects of my life is what drew people to my blog when I started. Reading others from all over the world and from different cultures showed how we all have the same dreams, feelings and experiences. This is the positive nature of the internet and communication.
    Gonna go read the age 19/20 link now.

    Thanks for sharing.

  18. Hey Steven: I love the new About page and hearing your story. It adds so much perspective and now I understand why your blog is so great:) Thank you for being such a great source of wisdom and sharing your knowledge. It is a great to be a part of the CYT community.

  19. Jackie says:

    Thanks for that Steve,very encouraging.
    It’s reassuring to know that there is light at the end of the tunel!
    I am just at the beginning of my journey towards helping others improve their experience of life. I guess I am at the stage you were at in 2006.
    I am not focused soley on blogging to make a living but it is part of my process of letting others know I am around. I have just started to incorporate the idea of doing surveys to find out what perspective clients and visitors to my site are actually looking for. I am looking forward to reading the responses so that I too can create create programs and packages to meet their needs. Do you have other posts relating to this that you would like to recommend?
    With regards to changing your beliefs to live your dream, I am working on it. I am hoping that your 28 day course will help me with that particularly in the area of building a holistic practice.

    On another note, I know you are based in the UK. Why do you price your products in dollars?

  20. Sean M Kelly says:

    Hi Steven,

    I once met a guy called Art Berg in Hawaii in 1996. He was quadriplegic after a car accident at age 21 – paralysed from the neck down. He was giving a talk at Tony Robbins Life Mastery. It was one of the funniest most motivational talks I’ve ever heard. I always remember one thing is said a number of times – “it’s not in spite of what happened to me that I am where I am but … because of what happened to me”. In other words even with incredible paralysis he could find the “silver lining” in what most of us would see as a very “dark cloud”.

    It takes a lot of courage to face the truth about ourselves and to triumph over adversity. Your story Steven is such a story and most certainly is worth sharing as you have done. It is inspiring many others.

    Congratulations!
    Be Inspired!

  21. Natasha Cording says:

    Hello Steven, it took me a long while to leave a message, and in fact had to revisit your site a few times to sign up to your 28 day course, reaching out to an unknown is a little intimidating. I really wanted to say thank you for providing the opportunity to learn from you and for sharing your story (above), reading about you and your life has provided a foundation for trust and helped to make the experience more personal. And lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you success in all your endeavours. With warmest regards, Natasha

    Hi Steven

    Thanks for sharing, and in doing, it does make you more of a real person, not just a name on an internet blog.
    So if your objective was to make yourself more of a real person to your subscribers, congratulations you have
    succeeded.

  27. Janine says:

    Hi Steven

    I would like to thank you for being so sharing your life story and for allowing us, your readers, to connect with you on a personal level. Your blog is inspiring and for the past few months (only discovered your blog a while back, by default) quite a number of your articles have really hit home and inspired me to take action.

    Infact, due to an non-coincidental alignment of events, the end result has been resigning from a job which no longer brought fulfillment and exchanging the corporate life for a few months of backpacking & living in South America. During this time I will explore, challenge myself, learn a new language and hopefully, in the midst of it all, figure out what my greater calling is in life. One thing of which I am sure, is that it is something that will involve adding value to the lives of others :-)

    I would also like to thank you for giving your readers the opportunity to turn their lives around with your 28 day course. I know that when thoughts are changed, your entire life has the capability of moving into a realm of limitless possibility.

    Thank you for sharing, for inspiring.
    Janine

  35. Lori says:

    I came across your blog by accident over a year ago. I have very few blogs I read faithfully, and yours is in that list. It is more than just the content of the blog that leaves me inspired. You share so much of your own journey that I find myself talking about you when I am in conversation with my family and friends. I wish you the best. (And make sure you write about it!)

    Dear Steven,

    I just ‘stumbled’ on your blog while looking for some articles…Coincidence ? I don’t think so.

    I really appreciate your personal story. It shows that even when you change your mind set, an effort is always necessary. A consistent one. Only, it doesn’t always feel like an effort because when focusing on what you really want, on what you stand for creates energy, vitality…

    Just great…I’ll be following you on twitter.

    Kind regards,

  58. Teena says:

    Hi Steven. I came across your blog by accident looking for a way to make money on the net. My husband & I are both on disability. Mine is very severe asthma & can’t get out of the house much. My husband was run over and dragged 50 feet under a van in 2002. No arrests were made & we lost everything we owned. He has been disabled ever since and now he is diabetic and on kidney dialysis. We lost our oldest daughter to cancer in April 2010, my dad in August 2010 & my mom in Feb. 2011. I am still struggling with all that and feel pulled in 50 directions. We need money now & I published a book called “Because He Loves Me” a few years ago. It’s about how God got me through depression, but the book didn’t do so well on the market. Had difficulties with the publishing company. I would like to start a blog on how God is helping me, but I don’t have a clue how to start. I’m not computer savy. Can you help me?
    Thanks & God Bless

  59. Aline Boundy says:

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for sharing your story. I agree with you, it’s important to feel a connection with the people whose emails we subscribe to, so it was good to learn about you and your family. I find the connection grows with video content, as when you hear someone’s voice and see them on the screen it brings them a little closer. I haven’t got to your YouTube videos yet, but I will!
    I too love “Think and Grow Rich”. I read somewhere that his original title for that book was just “Think and Grow”, but the publishers suggested the addition of the word “rich”. What people bought was the perception of monetary wealth, but what they got was of course much more than that. I’m just starting out with blogging and all things online, so it’s very refreshing to read your blog which is obviously written from the heart.

    Great blog! Thanks for the information; I truly believe that your success begins with your mind. Information comes continually; but until you reprogram your mind and start thinking positive thoughts you will stay the same. Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve read “Think and Grow Rich”, I’m not finishing up “See You at The Top” by Zig Ziglar.

    Steve, I found your blog through an older post on Deskaway, which I use, for the top 100 productivity blogs. I only clicked on a few links – I was intrigued with “change your life”

    I’ve been poking around your site and copied a few of the exercises down for myself. I look forward to doing them later this afternoon.

    If feels like synchronicity shows up just when I need it – and reminds me that it’s not about doing it alone rather allowing in others support and ideas – even when they are virtual. It’s been a year of helping others – not quite what I planned but what showed up – from my neighbor who was paralyzed when he fell off his bike to my mom who was just diagnosed with breast cancer while staying with us on vacation and will be staying through treatment.

    Thanks for the incentive and reminder that all the answers are inside – and allow others to help yourself – even while you are supposedly helping them.

    Regards, Michele

  63. Hi Steven,

    Great personal story about your ups and downs. Looks like things are finally looking up for you. If there is anything, you are an inspiring example for me as well. I am miles from where you are at the moment, but I can picture and envision myself reaching a stage whereby you desire. Today I am richly blesses because of your story. I hope to learn more from you.

    Cheers

    I’ve often said some people are born knowing exactly what they are to do in life, and others must live with themselves a while before they know. It matters not the road you take – straight or circuitous just so long as you get there.
    Great job in persevering. Great job in being true. Great job in living the life you desired.

    Hello Steve,

    Very interesting Blog! I was reading up on feelings of “inadequacy” this morning and I came upon this post. Very interesting Blog! I’ve read through some of the comments as well and I feel so good knowing that I am not alone. Suffering from low self esteem, anxiety and depression and constantly being emotionally up one day and down the next (from negative thoughts) is SO very lonely. Thanks SO MUCH for this Blog.

    Thank you Steve for sharing your story
    I have read a number of your blogs but now knowing your background they are even more enlightening
    i am a “think and grow rich” groupie but it has not impacted om my life to the extent that it has done in yours
    I found your drug stories useful as i have a coachee who went a long way down that route and i think he will find this helpful
    whilst i live many miles from you i have added your name to my bucket list of people i intend to meet

    keep up the good work

    It’s the NARRATIVE! People understand a story…especially one in which they can plop themselves into the middle of it.

    Well done, Sir! :)

  81. Valuable information and excellent design you got here! I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and time into the stuff you post!! Thumbs up!

  82. Thank you Steven for taking the time to write this article.. As someone who is just about to launch a new website in the self help niche it really helped me clarify that I need to make some changes to my website before I launch it… Which I am happy to say I just did on my website homepage…

    To quote you, this bit really hit me hard between the eyes:-

    “Who was that person on the other end? What did they stand for, and what they against? Why are they in personal development? What’s their story?”

    Your own story above helped to confirm that the changes I need to make will help people get more than just great information from me… But rather that when people visit my site they will get get a sense of who I am, what I believe and where I have traveled up to this point (the good, the bad and the ugly)…

    And I guess this means becoming more real and more vulnerable which can be scary. But there’s no other way really but to live authentically is there! Thanks for keeping it real mate…

    Sincerely
    Chris T Atkinson

  83. PS In keeping with my previous post re your encouragement Steven to let people know who you are… This maybe a silly question but how do I upload a photo of myself here so that when I reply to your posts here people will be able to see who I am?

    Cheers :)

    All it takes is a thought to bring things into your life. Everything has it’s beginning in thought AND when you think of something it now exists. What you do now is bring it into form. I’m enjoying what you write Steven and will check back often. Thanks for your inspiration!
