For fifty years I've worked at the meeting point of two things: the systems that
run a business, and the mind that runs a life. This is where both live.
The Business
AI that forecasts what a convenience store will
actually sell — plus the books and POS system
behind it.
The Story
A ruined life rebuilt from a single decision in 1977 — the autobiography and the writing that grew from it.

Bill Scott
At 34, I walked out of rehab after three days — carrying nothing but a decision to change. That moment became the foundation for rebuilding every area of my life: money and business, relationships, health, and mindset.
For fifty years since, I've studied and applied practical principles of the mind — the conscious and subconscious, the Reticular Activating System as our mental gatekeeper, the blind spots that keep us stuck, and the quiet power of repetition and emotion. Second Chance is where those tools and stories live. No fluff. No empty promises.
Conscious and subconscious, and how they really run your day.
Your mental gatekeeper — what it lets in, and what it filters out.
The scotomas that hide the options right in front of you.
Repetition and emotion, aimed at the life you actually want.
Today I keep writing, publishing blog posts, and recording videos from my home studio — helping people recognize their own blind spots and activate the life they truly want.
My goal is simple: to encourage and equip people with the same practical wisdom that gave me a second chance. If you're ready to do the inner work — or to run a sharper business — you're in the right place.
Daily writing, sorted for you
Managing two blogs by hand is a chore — so nothing is done by hand. Each day's writing is read, understood, and filed under Business or Personal automatically. No dashboard logins. No manual categorizing.
A new post from his daily writing tool — business or personal, no tagging needed.
A webhook reads each post, decides where it belongs, and publishes it — powered by n8n.
