Hi everyone! Welcome to the It’s Emily Show! I am here today with entrepreneur, Joel Brown, the Founder of the #1 Motivation website, Addicted2Success.com which has achieved over 320 Million views worldwide over the last 7 years. He is also the co-founder of AweBliss -  the world’s first faith-based personal development learning platform. Joel has a social media following of over 3.6 Million across his social media channels and travels the world teaching thousands of people how to stand in their vision for success so they can turn their dreams into a reality.  I’ve been so blessed to follow Joel over the years. He’s worked alongside some of the greatest in this profession, including Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and many more. But one thing that most people don’t know is that he too used to have this feeling of emptiness and self-doubt until he found himself fully immersed in personal development and his greater mission, co-creating with God. This episode is very real and inspiring. Not only does Joel share how he started his website (that he refers to as his community, not a website) and built a massive global following but you will also hear his personal account of how he found meaning, purpose, and happiness through Jesus. Finally, Joel dives into some simple ways to overcome the fear of losing control and how to test your belief system to ensure that it is strong enough to turn your dreams into reality.
