Q&A on the Topic of Success 

Q: You’ve had success in business, writing, and teaching. How do you define success?
A: For me, success is the harmony of three things—freedom, purpose, and contribution. If I’m financially free but not serving a purpose, that’s incomplete. If I have purpose but no freedom, I’m trapped. And if I’m free and purposeful but not helping others, it’s hollow. True success is when those three are in balance.

Q: Many people know you for helping others legally eliminate debt. How did that become part of your life’s work?
A: In the 1990s, I saw how many people lived under crushing debt and how it controlled their choices. I discovered lawful, ethical methods—rooted in contract law and natural law—that could completely clear unsecured debt. Once I realized these strategies were not just theory but practical reality, I felt a responsibility to share them. It became part of my mission because it freed people from a burden that keeps them from their true potential.

Q: You also focus on Natural Law Trusts. How does that connect to success?
A:A Natural Law Trust isn’t just a legal tool—it’s a shift in mindset. It’s about moving from the role of a “subject” in a system to the role of a sovereign being who manages their own affairs. Success means protecting what you’ve built, and a trust designed under natural law principles does that while aligning with universal truth.

Q: What role has education played in your success?
A: Education for me has been both academic and experiential. I learned business principles through practical entrepreneurship. But my deeper education came from Vedic Science and meditation—understanding the laws of nature and consciousness. This taught me that sustainable success always follows alignment with truth. You can force short-term wins without it, but they won’t last.

Q: Can you share an example of when spiritual principles helped you in business?
A: Early in my career, I was negotiating a partnership deal that could have made a lot of money but didn’t feel right. My meditation practice had taught me to value clarity and alignment over quick gains. I walked away. Six months later, that venture collapsed under legal trouble. By trusting intuition, I avoided a disaster. That’s the value of inner guidance in business.

Q: What’s your approach to decision-making when the stakes are high?
A: I slow down. I gather facts, check the numbers, and then check my inner alignment. I ask: “Does this serve freedom, purpose, and contribution?” If it doesn’t check all three, I pass.

Q: What’s one piece of advice you’d give someone chasing success right now?
A: Don’t define success only by income or status. That’s a trap. Define it by the quality of your life and the freedom you have to pursue your purpose. Build structures—financial and personal—that support that vision.

Q: You’ve been a keynote speaker and an author. Which has had more impact?
A: Both have their place. Speaking allows me to connect with people in real time and answer their questions. Writing allows the message to reach beyond me—to be read a decade later by someone I’ve never met. Impact comes from combining them.

Q: Do you believe success can be replicated, or is it unique to each person?
A: The principles are universal—discipline, alignment, service—but the form is unique. Two people can apply the same principle and build very different forms of success. That’s the beauty of it.Q: What’s next for you?
A: I’m continuing to refine educational programs that merge financial sovereignty with consciousness. The world is changing fast, and people need both practical tools and inner resilience to thrive. That’s where I’m putting my focus.
