Hi, Jason Krause here. I started this website to share some of my key ideas and favorite places to gain knowledge (books, podcasts, and YouTube channels), as I was going through many years of significant challenges in some key areas of my life. This site has went through a couple name changes over the years, and has become the headquarters for my new business, AnewTrek.
AnewTrek believes that our humanity has some catching up to do with our technology, and it depends mostly on our humility and knowledge. AnewTrek shares knowledge to help people and organizations better respond to life's guarantees, which include challenges, opportunities, and choices. Knowledge helps us overcome challenges, grow opportunities, and make better choices. AnewTrek provides products and services that empower and encourage people and organizations in personal, professional, leadership, and business growth. AnewTrek is an educational business, but is not an accredited education institution.
All core areas of growth have the same opportunity system, or growth system, with three areas of focus, a foundation of strength, the art of purpose, and the science of momentum. All core areas of growth depend on, and build on, personal growth. Growth can be an improvement in quality or an increase in quantity. All growth depends on gaining new knowledge.
About the person behind AnewTrek. My name is Jason Krause, and I was raised in a small town in the Midwest, mostly by a single mother, God bless her. I volunteered to join the military at 17 for a salary job with 100% health benefits, four weeks paid vacation a year, a good retirement plan, and I thought it would be good to serve our country.
I went on to retire from the Special Forces as a planner and project manager. It was an honor to serve our country, and other countries. When I was younger, I never imagined I would have made a career out of the military, or made it into Special Forces, it just kind of happened, as I was open and willing to accept challenges and opportunities, and work smart and strong.
I gave my best physical years to the military and respected the golden rule. I believe our military members have great potential as they have proven a basic level of discipline. When I left the military, I thought I had the world figured out. I tried my first business and it did not work out so well, but it had a profound effect on me. I started pursuing a business degree and became passionate about learning about business. It was no surprise to learn the most important factor in business, just like any organization, is leadership, not funding, cash flow, timing, the idea or the team, these are all choices made by the leadership.
Shortly before finishing my degree I started having some significant health, relationship, and finance issues. This was one of the two most challenging seasons in my life. The other was going through a divorce about a year after losing our only child.
I've had many challenges over the years and found myself reading a lot of books to help overcome these challenges (well over 100 in the past 10 years since I submitted my retirement papers). I eventually realized that there are at least 10 life skills, or principles, that all claim to be the one most important principle for "success," however you define it.
I've always been active, and a thinker, so after a while of thinking about these most important principles, I developed my own theories about the different areas of growth, and how they all share the same opportunity system or growth system. I started sharing my knowledge online and with my self-published book Opportunity Truth, knowing it can help others. Opportunity Truth is a research based educational book. It is not a book based on my experience.

The truth is, our natural abilities are natural opportunities, and when we build them up, we are more likely to find human-made opportunities. You know the key success skill sets highlighted in my book Opportunity Truth, but I bet that you do not know the latest books written about them? Not a reader? The end of each chapter has highlights. You could read all the chapter highlights in about an hour. Think reading nonfiction is boring? It has references to epic scenes from many popular movies that support the content in each chapter, to keep things entertaining. The book Opportunity Truth can help you build purpose, grow opportunity, and be more productive. Get Opportunity Truth.
Ultimately, we should not ask what the meaning of our life is, but rather, we must recognize that we are asked. Each person is questioned by life; and we can only answer to life by answering for our own life; to life we can only respond by being responsible (from the book Man's Search for Meaning by Dr. Viktor Frankl).
I believe there are guarantees in life including challenges, opportunities, and choices. I also believe there are shortcuts in life, in books that explain how to learn well, live wise, and love strong, without spending years of trial and error.

Sincerely and respectfully, wishing you a funomenal week.
If you have not checked out my book Opportunity Truth you can see the table of contents, read the introduction, and most of the first chapter, free when you click on the button below then click on the book cover.
This is the book I wish I had studied when I was younger. This book is meant as an educational book. Developing opportunity is our way to a better collective future. Our most important opportunity is personal development.
Some of the more important parts of the book include how to increase self-discipline, be more positive, set goals, be more productive, and communicate more effectively. The book also highlights some principles and tactics for professional, leadership, and business development, including innovation tips.
