Guest Bio
JT Tsui knows how fulfilling and challenging it can be to commit to growth because he’s walked the walk.
With a background in Kinesiology and Athletics, JT, as a logically-minded individual, initially found it unnatural to turn inward. However, through perseverance and a willingness to be vulnerable and open to change, he has made significant leaps forward in his own life.
JT’s journey began at what felt like a breaking point. On Mother’s Day in 2016, he was rushed to the hospital with a suspected appendicitis, which turned out to be a massive infection in his digestive system. Having never experienced anything like that before, he was terrified for his life.
During his recovery in the hospital and at home over the next few months, JT began to reflect on the direction his life was headed. Despite achieving considerable success by society’s standards, he knew deep down that he wasn’t living up to his full potential.
This realization marked the beginning of JT’s lifelong commitment to spiritual and personal development.
He started reading books and listening to podcasts on personal growth and self-development. JT immediately fell in love with what he was learning, and his mindset began to shift, prompting him to find ways to better himself daily. As he prioritized different actions in his life, his results began to change.
As JT continued to prioritize his daily growth, he noticed how personal development started to influence every aspect of his life. He decided to leave a successful 15-year career as a high school teacher and coach because his heart wasn’t in it anymore. Although he loved helping people, he realized he wanted to serve them outside the classroom and off the field. In his first few months away from teaching, JT hit a low point, feeling lost and confused. His career had always come naturally to him, but he knew it was costing him his wellness and his relationship with his wife and kids.
That’s when JT discovered the teachings of Bob Proctor.
Thanks to Bob Proctor, JT learned about the laws of attraction and how to create his own reality. After completing Proctor’s Thinking Into Results course, JT gained clarity on creating and living a life of FREEDOM. He learned that, contrary to his upbringing, better results could be achieved with a positive and strategic mindset, rather than just working harder.
As JT’s awareness increased and his dreams and goals became more defined, what he wanted for himself started manifesting in his life. He traveled extensively with his wife and kids to experience world cultures. He moved from London (Ontario) to Toronto to pursue the lifestyle he always dreamed of, where family and loved ones come first. He and his family redesigned their businesses to work remotely and manage their schedules.
After making a series of life-changing decisions he would never have dared to make before, JT wanted to teach others the valuable tools he had learned. To provide the best coaching possible, he decided to be mentored by Bob Proctor as a teacher of the Thinking Into Results program.
JT uses the principles of Thinking Into Results to help individuals make powerful shifts in their mindset. His passion lies in guiding driven individuals toward becoming the greatest versions of themselves.
