Last week I posted a story on social media that may have confused a few of my followers. For my entire life my solution to every problem has been simple: WORK HARDER. I posted a photo of a sunset I took on this current motorcycle roadtrip across Thailand over the Andaman countryside and declared of the old me and this old philosophy. I stated in no uncertain terms that I was done working harder and that this philosophy was no […]

Imposter Syndrome (and my confession!)

Danny Flood — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 10:13:37 +0000

A while back, I received an email from a reader that I wasn’t immediately sure how to answer. I still think about it often. A blog visitor wrote to me, pleading for help but convinced his situation was already hopeless. He was a father, working a part-time online job he hated for a “propagandist news service.” He said he felt stuck, with “no $ to spend,” and was desperately looking for his “niche.” His language was a textbook case of […]

Danny Flood — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 10:25:49 +0000

It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one’s life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. You need to have the mindset that it is impossible to fail. You need to be able to see what other people call […]

Danny Flood — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 11:25:00 +0000

I have many friends lately that have been telling me that they are disappointed with themselves because of expectations that they have set that they feel like they are not living up to. And I think that the solution is very simple. There’s something that’s better than expectations. What’s better than expectations is intuition. It always knows what you have to do. It always knows the next thing that you have to do. I like to think of it like […]

Danny Flood — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 06:46:00 +0000

As a marketer and an entrepreneur, programming myself with the right thoughts is something that I find essential to do everyday. Like working out the body, it’s also important to train the mind. We take showers everyday, it’s considered normal. But how many of us actively have systems in place to motivate ourselves and program the right thoughts and attitudes every single day? The first and easiest step is to practice some type of active meditation. This is not meditation […]

#128 – What is a Reality Distortion Field and How Do You Use It?

Danny Flood — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 12:31:00 +0000

We are hardwired to withdraw into a scarcity mindset because we think it protects us. By withdrawing into a figurative “shell,” we believe that we retreat into safety. Thousands of years ago, this was the case. This was how we survived. If you were kicked out of the tribe, more than likely you perished. And today we tend to continue adhering to this evolutionary mindset. We run away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. We run away from our […]

Danny Flood — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 06:54:00 +0000

The world is full of critical people. They destroy dreams, both their own and others, by using words like “can’t” and “won’t.” Choose instead to be a creator. Give things and people a chance. See the potential. See things as better than they are. Look for good in others. View events and situations through a positive filter. Always give value and abundance. And don’t let the small thinking of some other people pollute your thinking. It’s not lonely at the […]
