SMART Resources

If you want to think, be, and live SMART, then you have to be able to learn SMART. The best way to do this is by leveraging the skills and expertise of others. An expert or mentor's hindsight can be your foresight. I put together this page to give you the resources I use and what I recommend. I update this page often so please bookmark it and check frequently!

We each have different learning styles. Some of the most common ways we best learn are through reading (visual), listening (auditory), or by doing (tactile). I have broken down these SMART Resources by learning type!

I am a big fan of Amazon. The company is definitely a one-stop shop for most of the SMART resources I recommend and use. One of the best ways to take advantage is to join Amazon Prime. Some of the benefits include free shipping, access to Prime Movies, Prime Music, Prime Photos, and much more!

When you study the most successful people in history, the vast majority are voracious readers. Warren Buffett, the world's greatest investor, reads 500 pages a day! Like compound interest, knowledge builds up, preparing you to take advantage when the right opportunity comes along!


Due to my intense travel schedule, the Kindle app is my go to e-book reader. You can download it to your computer (Mac or PC) or any type of smartphone. There are lots of great benefits such as syncing across my devices, highlighting and taking notes, and use the X-ray feature to easily find specific ideas, figures, places, and much more.


I invested in a Kindle Paperwhite e-Reader since the e-ink screen is very easy on my eyes compared to reading from my phone or tablet for an extended period of time.


Napoleon Hill is widely considered to be one of the greatest writers on SUCCESS and WEALTH. His most famous book Think and Grow Rich has sold over 20 million copies in the U.S. and over 70 million worldwide!

I am a big fan of audiobooks. Since I am stuck in traffic everyday, I either listening to a book  on Audible or a podcast! Audible is owned by Amazon, so you can sync some books with your kindle, which is very convenient. According to Thomas Corley, the author of Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, reading and listening to audio books are "rich habits" that separate the rich from the poor.

The SMART wealthy in particular love non-fiction, specifically self-improvement books. They “are voracious readers on how to improve themselves” and 88% of them read for self-improvement for at least half an hour every day, compared to 2% of poor people. 64% of the rich listen to audio books during their commute to work, compared to just 5% of poor people.

SMART Traveling

I travel quite a bit, and always look for the best travel hacks. Click Here for my Top Airline Travel Tips and Hacks!

Both Uber and Lyft have revolutionized transportation, I use it on weekly basis. If you haven't tried it yet, it is basically a ride-sharing service. You download and use the app on a mobile device to have one of the drivers pick you up at you current location and take you to where you want to go and can pay through the app which is very convenient.

Set up an eCommerce Site with Shopify. I have two at hawaiidelight.com and premiumegoods.com and it is very simple to use and get any product you want to sell out to market. They have free or paid templates you can use. Uploading products is a cinch and you have several options to get paid.

Want to start a blog or website? I HIGHLY recommend A2 Hosting for your sites. There are many out there but recently many have been bought out, consolidating under one large company. The problem is that the level of service has gone down. A2 has not and they have been very responsive with any requests. You can use the same account for multiple domains. It is really easy to install WordPress and use Google Products with A2.

High-quality Opt-in or Squeeze pages is important to convert visitors into subscribers. 95% of all conversions, leads, and revenue are generated by about 5% of the webpages on a site. Leadpages in my opinion is the best at easily helping you create those pages that do! Using Leadpages has been one of the best decisions I have made!
