If your life isn’t flowing the way you had envisioned it, there’s a good chance that your scattered mind is part of the problem. Focus and clarity don’t come naturally- they are acquired skills.
Unfortunately, these aren’t skills taught in school. We are left to our own devices to either succeed or fail in life without being taught the most important lessons in life...until now.
The Urban Monk elegantly lays out a balanced way of life that can not only bring us back to health, but help us relax and smile while we do it. I highly recommend this book to anyone trying to get healthy in our fast-paced world.

Course: Focus
As a taoist monk, I was taught a powerful formula for manifestation. It involves the marriage of focus and willpower- of attention and intention so that we can actually get the life we want.
Where your mind is focused is where your energy goes and, in life, that’s what grows. Most of us learned that willpower would get us there but without clarity and focus, it gets wasted and we get worn down. We try and we try yet we come up short. We’ve been doing it all wrong.
In this hands-on 21 day course, I’ll show you how to hone your attention, gain clarity, and start to take control of your life.
A chaotic mind leads to a chaotic and unfulfilled life. We can fix that. I’ve helped tens of thousands of people do this and can help you. That said, I can’t do it for you. YOU are the missing ingredient. Let’s help you take your power back and take control of your life.
Don’t you deserve a rich and fulfilling life? Don’t you deserve to get what you want out of the time you have left on this planet? I think you do. Let’s get you there.
CLEARING THE COBWEBS
Get clear and start to identify the weeds in your Life Garden. Having blind spots in life can drain your energy as your attention goes to unwanted places. Let’s take it back.
OPTIMIZING YOUR SLEEP
What goes up must come down and sleep is where we cheat ourselves the most. In this module, we learn how to get better sleep so we can have the energy and clarity we need to live the best life we can.
SETTING YOUR GOALS AND COMMITTING TO THEM
How to hone focus? Attention is the currency of the information age. In this module we help you take your attention back from your devices so you could focus it on your life and your priorities.
SETTING ASIDE TIME FOR YOU
What is life and why are you living? How are you prioritizing your time and is that serving you? Let’s examine the “plants” you’re giving your life’s water to.
USING DIET FOR BETTER FOCUS
High allergy foods can strangle our energy systems and set off autoimmunity. We need energy to live or full lives and eating the wrong kinds of food can “choke the engine”. Let’s get our diet right.
QUICK WORKOUTS TO RECHARGE THE BRAIN
We need to move blood, pump endorphins and drain the lymphatic system in order to power the brain. We need our brains working in order to gain more clarity and focus. Here’s how...
STAYING ON TRACK
Keep your eyes on the prize in order to win in life. Today we check in and make sure you’re keeping up the momentum and doing all the things that power you up for success.
BUILDING RESILIENCE
How long is your mental fuse? Today’s module is designed to help increase your adaptability and overall resilience. You need a longer fuse to deal with today’s problems and not get knocked off track.
OFFICE STRETCHES
Here’s how to keep moving and flowing throughout the day. Movement gives us energy and keeps our mind sharp. A dull mind veers off target and loses focus. Let’s avoid that by staying charged in life.
HERBS AND TONICS THAT HELP
Today we talk about adaptogens and how their dual-directional activity can help your energy, immunity, clarity, and resilience. Every little thing helps!
WHAT IT TAKES TO STAY ON TRACK
A daily commitment to YOU is key. You’re the one doing this for yourself. Why? It’s important to check in on the mental, emotional, and spiritual reasons we take on commitments so that we can stay on track.
AVOIDING TOXINS AND MISSTEPS
Toxins buildup in the body and rob us of our energy and mental clarity. Cellular efficiency, brain clarity, detox and weight issues are all implicated in our lack of focus. Today we help you clear these toxins.
ENERGY ECONOMICS
How is each “department” of your life working? Are they “profitable” or are they draining the whole system? Let’s look at the various areas of your life and identify where you need to patch things up.
PLANTS VS WEEDS
Are you getting better at seeing where your energy is going? Which plants remain important and which weeds are sucking you dry? Let’s tease this out and help you get better at this.
MASTERING JOURNAL TIME
Journaling can really help us find focus. Mornings and nighttime are great times to pause and jot down ideas and goals for your life. Leveraging gratitude as a daily practice can really light things up.
STAYING HYDRATED
Toxicity and other harmful agents around you can be robbing you of your mental clarity. The role of hydration is often missed in this equation. Today, we make sure you’re drinking enough and keeping your body happy.
BRAINWAVE TECHNOLOGY
There’s a lot of great new tech out there to help with focus. Optimize your alpha and low beta while driving up performance? Sure. Let’s talk about brain tech and how it can help you.
MORNING ROUTINES THAT WORK FOR YOU
What’s good for someone else may not work for you. Today, let’s optimize a morning routine that is customized for your individual needs. After all, it’s your life we’re talking about!
ASSEMBLING YOUR DAY THE RIGHT WAY
How you assemble your day will lay the foundation for your whole life. Mini breaks and time to recover are key. Knowing when you’re at your prime is also important. Let’s adjust your day as best we can around your individual needs and strengths.
GOAL SETTING FOR A BETTER FUTURE
When attention and intention are fused, goal setting isn’t just a mental exercise- it’s a way of life. It’s how you keep winning. Let’s help you stay focused and keep you honed in on your goals in 100 day sprints.
CLOSING IT OUT AND PICKING A NEW GOAL
We picked a mini goal for our 21 days together and now it’s time to extend this into the rest of your life. Here’s a tried and true formula I’ve taught to over 100,000 people. It’ll work for you too!
