Hi, I’m Travis Ahern.

I didn’t come from anything, and nothing was handed to me. Today I’ve built 19 companies that together generate more than $200 million a year. I’m not telling you that to impress you. I’m telling you because I want you to know it’s possible, and that it starts in the mind.

Entrepreneurs solve problems. The biggest problem I see is the way people talk to themselves. Across much of the working and middle class, people don’t believe in themselves, and they don’t believe they can accomplish great things. It isn’t their fault. Most of us were never taught to think in a way that makes a changing world feel exciting instead of threatening.

New Thought gave me a different way to think. Emerson, Allen, Troward, Shinn, and Neville taught me that thought is creative, that optimism is a discipline you can practice, and that we are meant to create through our minds. Those ideas have done more for me than most business books.

We’re at the dawn of a new era. The industrial age trained people to behave like robots; now we’re teaching robots to behave like humans. The people who thrive will be the ones who can stay calm, creative, and optimistic, working alongside AI instead of fearing it. New Thought Literature is the first step in helping people get there: out of the anxious, always-on state and into flow.

This is just the beginning. Over time I’ll add meditation, sleep, fitness, nutrition, health and longevity, and entrepreneurship, because a creative mind needs a healthy body and a reason to build.

If you’ve ever doubted that you could build something great, start here. You can.
