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?

These 11 Habits Will Make You More Productive, Successful, and Confident
Boost your focus, confidence, and results with 11 powerful habits successful people use every day.

Successful people love to help beginners. They have an incredible work ethic and rarely complain. As a result, others naturally look up to them and want to follow in their footsteps.
But here’s the truth: there’s no success without sacrifice. You’ll need to give up comfort, excuses, and sometimes even social approval to accomplish your goals.
Value comes from solving problems, and these 11 powerful tips will help you become more productive, successful, and confident, starting today.
1. Take Short Breaks After Finishing a Task
Psychology shows it’s important to reward positive behaviour.
After completing a big task or finishing a book, take five minutes to walk, stretch, or simply breathe. This quick reset helps your brain recharge and strengthens focus.
Many great writers swear by morning walks, solitude, and reflection can unlock creativity.
But if you refuse to take breaks, don’t be surprised when burnout hits. Your brain needs recovery time just as much as your body does.
2. Schedule Your Most Important Tasks First
Multitasking kills productivity. If you want to get more done, try time blocking, a method where you dedicate set periods for specific tasks.
Productivity expert Caitlin Hughes explains, “Time blocking involves scheduling blocks of time for your tasks throughout the day.”
For example, if you’re a writer:
-
Research your topic at night.
-
Write your first draft in the morning (don’t worry if it’s rough).
-
Edit in the afternoon, great writing comes from rewriting.
You can’t buy more time. Use it intentionally and without regret.
3. Eliminate Distractions from Your Workspace
Focus is the foundation of success.
According to Inc. Magazine, it takes an average of 23 minutes to recover from a distraction. That’s nearly half an hour of lost productivity every time you check your phone.
Put your phone away. Close unnecessary tabs. And yes, limit your Netflix binges.
Meeting deadlines consistently is one of the fastest ways to stand out and earn respect.
4. Take Full Responsibility for Your Life
Entrepreneur Derek Sivers once said, “Everything is my fault.”
This mindset doesn’t mean self-blame; it means self-ownership. Stop pointing fingers, making excuses, or waiting for others to change.
If your habits (like smoking or drinking too much) hold you back, it’s time to make better choices. Your friends can’t live your dreams for you; only you can.
5. Invest an Hour a Day in Learning New Skills
Knowledge compounds over time.
Whether you read books, take online courses, or practise a craft, consistent learning gives you a competitive edge.
I used to struggle with academic writing, but I improved by studying the work of great authors and applying what I learned.
Your past doesn’t define you; your actions do. Every new skill adds another tool to your arsenal and makes you more unstoppable.
6. Develop a Growth Mindset
Psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck introduced the concept of fixed vs. growth mindset.
-
A fixed mindset believes success is based on natural talent.
-
A growth mindset believes success comes from effort and learning.
Choose the growth mindset. Embrace challenges. See failures as feedback. In today’s fast-moving digital world, adaptability is your biggest advantage.
7. Learn Marketing to Reach People Who Need You
I once believed marketing was manipulative, until I realised it’s about helping people solve problems.
If your work provides genuine value, marketing is how you let others know it exists. Even Apple spends billions on it.
Don’t be ashamed to promote your skills or business. Without visibility, your ideas will never reach the people who need them most.
Creative professionals who understand marketing and sales have an unfair advantage.
8. Ask Your Mentor the Right Questions
Good mentors can fast-track your growth.
While mentorship often costs money, it’s one of the best investments you can make. Great mentors don’t care about titles; they care about your progress.
If you don’t have access to a mentor yet, books are your silent mentors. Read the best in your field, take notes, and apply what resonates.
9. Build Confidence Through Action, Not Affirmations
Author Ryan Holiday once said, “I don’t believe in myself. I have evidence.”
Confidence doesn’t come from shouting affirmations into the mirror; it comes from proof. Doing hard things, keeping promises to yourself, and following through.
When you consistently take action, your brain gathers evidence that you can handle whatever comes next. That’s real confidence, grounded, earned, and unshakable.
10. Focus on Your Strengths
Your strengths reveal where your greatest impact lies.
If people compliment you on something often, it’s a clue. Lean into it.
A former professor once told me I was creative, and that simple comment gave me the confidence to go all in. I studied creativity, applied it daily, and turned it into my career advantage.
Double down on your strengths. That’s how you build momentum and mastery.
11. Identify and Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs
Your beliefs shape your reality.
For years, I believed I couldn’t be a great writer because of my chronic tinnitus and astigmatism, sensory challenges that made concentration difficult. But over time, I realised those struggles made me more disciplined, observant, and empathetic.
Your limitations can become your greatest motivators if you let them.
Avoid shortcuts. Growth takes time, but it’s always worth it.
Final Thoughts
Becoming productive, successful, and confident isn’t about working harder than everyone else. It’s about working smarter, consistently, and intentionally.
You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Start small: take a break after your next task, schedule your priorities, or spend one hour learning something new.
Every habit you change compounds into long-term success. Remember, true change comes from practising new behaviours.
