9 Inspiring Statements on Success and Prosperity From Addicted2Success Founder, Joel Brown

Most adults struggle to come to terms with the fact that there’s more to life and creating success than physical effort. And yet even science now proves that the invisible side of nature is just as real and far greater than this visible world, which we know.
I think we can all agree that entrepreneurship requires more than ego-centered willpower to navigate its treacherous waters. I am a strong follower of the Ceo and founder of Addicted2Success, Joel Brown and he is a prime example of the fact that we need to have our dreams established upon a solid foundation, if we are to successfully turn them into reality.
Wishing alone won’t cut it. Neither will mindless hard work!
Entrepreneurs who are successful have more than just a big idea, strategies, tactics and teams helping them win. They first and foremost learn to cultivate certain qualities and a particular mindset.
In the corporate world, you might get away with being a dull, lifeless pessimist, but in the entrepreneurial space, those who go furthest and sustain it the longest are the ones who posses an ethos that is very grounded but at the same goes deeper than logic can understand.
A theme that can be felt in all of Joel Brown’s messages is that the biggest determining factor in your life and business is your frame of mind.
The wrong frame of mind, which most people still possess, unfortunately believes in lack and poverty. When one possesses such a mindset, it will seem like the whole world conspires to create more struggle on the path of success and prosperity.
According to Joel Brown, and I fully resonate with this — Your ability to succeed and prosper must begin with steps taken toward personal transformation. Everything comes forth from within.
Personal transformation cannot happen if you’re not tapped into the right source of power. As an active fan and follower of the daily messages and words of encouragement he offers I have found a few key ones that I believe will help inspire and propel you into greater success and prosperity.
Many of his statements are simple. Often controversial, especially for those who still don’t understand the importance of faith in business. But I know if you take just a handful of these statements and reflect or meditate on them without prejudice, you’ll appreciate the wisdom of this trailblazing self-made leader.
Here are the 9 most powerful statements from Joel Brown:
One: We only get what we believe we deserve. Raise the bar, raise your standards and you will receive a better outcome.
Two: Be so focused on your God given mission that negative thoughts and jealousy towards others have no place in your mind.
Three: Stop looking UP to others and start looking at the one you see in the mirror. You have greatness in you that is also found within them.
Four: Don’t forget, there is a price to pay for living in your purpose. If you want success, first you must overcome the struggles.
Five: If you are reading this, trust and believe you are going to make it. God is re-aligning the flow in your favor.
Six: Stay with one thing long enough until you become the best at it and your tribe will find you.
Seven: True success comes from something bigger than yourself. It’s a gift from God that has been given to you in faith that you can carry it out.
Eight: Your ideal future is imprisoned within you. The casting of a vision and the dedication to it is the only thing that will bring you closer to your dreams.
Nine: Real entrepreneurs don’t wait for permission from anyone or anything. They write their own permission slips and get to work.
Joel Brown is a global leader impacting millions, but when he started, he was just a simple guy with a mission, vision, a hunger to create a better life on his own terms and to do something meaningful in the world. May his thoughts inspire you to create life on your terms.
Now I would love to hear from you. Which of his statement most resonates with you? And do you have any statements of your own that fire you up?

You Become What You Absorb: How Input Shapes Your Life
We let the world dictate who we spend time with and what input we allow in, rarely stopping to consider the effects it’s having on us

“Input” is anything from the outside world that influences your mood, mindset, and emotional state. It includes the media you consume, the books you read, the podcasts and music you listen to, and the movies and shows you watch. But it also encompasses much more: the environment you live and work in, the conversations you have, the people you surround yourself with, and the events, personal or global, that unfold around you.

This Overlooked Skill Drives Real Business Growth
It strengthens relationships, enhances decision-making, and fosters trust.

In every successful leader’s toolkit, one skill stands out above the rest: the ability to listen. While good leaders are known for making confident decisions, great leaders understand that those decisions are only as strong as the information they’re based on. And that information? It comes from truly listening to their teams, peers, and even critics. (more…)

Tired of Wasting Money on the Wrong Marketers? Here’s How Smart Entrepreneurs Are Finally Hiring Right

If you’ve ever Googled how to hire a Facebook marketer or best TikTok marketing agency only to spend thousands on someone who couldn’t deliver…congrats, you’ve joined a very expensive club! For many entrepreneurs, hiring a digital marketer feels like more like visiting a casino and gambling with your runway, than it feels like securing a partner who’ll help build your business. Often, it feels like you’re betting on a stranger to grow the dream you’ve poured your savings into.
And way too often, you lose that bet.
You don’t need another list of the “Top 10 Agencies” with five-star testimonials and polished logos. You need to know which marketer can actually drive results for your business. Not in theory. In practice.
This is where entrepreneurs are learning to pivot. And it’s why a new platform called TruthMetric.com is turning heads across the startup world.
Why Most Startups Burn Through 3–6 Marketers Before Finding the Right One
Here’s the hard truth: most startups don’t fail because of their product, they fail because they can’t get sales or sell it fast enough. And in trying to fix that, founders usually go through five or six marketers, burning tens of thousands before finding someone who truly knows how to convert.
You build your product, get your website live, maybe even launch an ad campaign. But when you search for help and look up how to “hire a YouTube ads agency” or “top Facebook ad expert for Shopify”, you get hit with a sea of shiny portfolios, “ninja” titles, and endless promises.
Three months later, you’re still waiting on your first profitable campaign, and you’re most likely out tens of thousands, feeling utterly defeated…and maybe grinning with an affinity for that upcoming boxing class with a picture of that marketer’s fac……nevermind.
If this sounds like you, it’s time for what one entrepreneur called a strategic shift to scale smarter, not harder.
Introducing TruthMetric.com: The Transparent Marketplace for Hiring Marketers Who Deliver
TruthMetric.com isn’t just another freelancer platform or agency directory. It’s the first hiring solution where you can see three years of real, verified marketing performance before spending a dime.
That includes:
- Verified ad campaign performance
- Actual return on ad spend (ROAS)
- Industry-specific experience
- Platform specialties (Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Google Ads, and more)
Whether you’re looking for a Facebook ads expert, a TikTok marketer, or a YouTube growth strategist, TruthMetric.com lets you filter and compare based on what actually matters, results.
This level of clarity is something you won’t find on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr. And it solves what many founders know too well as the New York Pizza Problem: where every marketer claims they’re “the best,” just like every pizzeria in Manhattan says they’re #1. Often without showing you results, you get sucked into this dream of collaboration, until the nightmare commences the moment you fork that first invoice payment. Hence the deception that leads to many business owners losing their hard earned savings and budget to launch their grand idea.
With TruthMetric, you finally get the data to decide for yourself, BEFORE you hire. Now if only New York Pizza shops had the same transparency then maybe you’d finally find the best pizza in New York, perhaps the perfect post work out after a boxing sesh? I think so!
Why Founders Are Shifting to Results-First Hiring
Most entrepreneurs think they need to do it all themselves, until they burn out or burn through their budget. That’s exactly why this founder had to drop the Superman complex and hire a marketing genius.
What makes TruthMetric so powerful is that it turns hiring into a confident move, not a hopeful one. You’re no longer guessing. You’re choosing from proven performers. You know what vertical they dominate. You know their past client performance. You see the monthly results from the campaigns they ran, and the outcomes they achieved.
It’s not just efficient. It’s empowering.
Scaling Quickly Requires Automation and Eliminating the Noise
Founders who scale quickly understand one thing: growth isn’t just about hustle, it’s about systems. TruthMetric is the system for finding great marketers at speed. No more DM’ing ten freelancers or interviewing agencies feeling like you are asking the world of them to just see some prior results. Instead you get to see the information you need to make an informed decision and plug into verified talent, all ready to perform.
This difference allows for you to match perfectly with the right talent quickly. If you’re building your business to run lean and fast, this convenience plugged in with automation can help you scale your small business right alongside your new marketing hires.
Why TruthMetric Is Also a Boon for Marketers, Not Just Founders
This isn’t just a win for founders, it is a gift for great marketers, too.
If you’re a freelance marketer who’s been quietly pulling 10x ROAS for clients while being passed over for flashy agencies, you now have a stage where your results speak louder than your brand.
TruthMetric is a true meritocracy. No fluff. No sales tricks. Just data.
If you’re tired of being overlooked and ready to stand out based on what you actually deliver, this is your home.
The Secret Weapon for Investors and M&A Operators
There’s another angle here that some of our readers might miss.
Investors, private equity firms, and M&A advisors should be drooling at the thought of having a proven talent pool they can plug and play and the ability to use TruthMetric to revive underperforming companies. Imagine acquiring a business or becoming an active investor, then dropping in a verified operator with a history of explosive growth in that niche.
It’s plug-and-play. Scale on demand.
That kind of insight has never been available before. You couldn’t do this on Upwork. You certainly can’t do it through a friend-of-a-friend referral.
And when it comes to attracting high-performing talent, here’s how to hire top talent and keep them around.
Let’s Really Drive This Home…
If you’ve wasted money on agencies or freelancers who couldn’t deliver, it’s not because you’re bad at hiring, it’s because the game was stacked against you. Trusting dreamy charismatic sales pitches over data was a doomed approach from the start.
TruthMetric levels the playing field by showing you what no other talent marketplace does and that’s proof.
Real marketers. Real results. Real growth.
It’s time to stop guessing and start hiring based on data.
Visit TruthMetric.com and make your next marketing hire the one that actually works.

How do you feel when your flight is delayed, throwing your entire schedule into chaos? Or when a patient dies due to a doctor’s tardiness? What about missing a job opportunity because your driver showed up late? And how do you react when someone walks in late without the basic courtesy of apologizing? (more…)
